Although Xia Rong is eating and sleeping well now, it is not as worrying as when she was first diagnosed with pregnancy. But Shen Xiangyan was still afraid that he would be tired, so he didn't let Xia Rong intervene in the matters that needed to be prepared for the New Year. He took care of all the dealings, and all kinds of new year purchases at home.

Not only that, Shen Xiangyan was afraid that Xia Rong would be bored, so he made out the mahjong that was popular among men, women and children in his previous life. Shen Xiangyan pulled Xia Rong, and He Xin and He Miao started playing together. Mahjong is a magical thing to say, and they all said that novices are very lucky with cards, and this was directly reflected at their table.

In the beginning, when Shen Xiangyan taught the three to fight, relying on his previous experience, he always won steadily. But the good times don't last long, and when the three of them have almost learned, it will become a situation where the three of them take turns to win, but he keeps losing.

After waiting for a few hands of newcomer cards, the situation changed, and the big winner on the table became Xia Rong alone, and the remaining three of them lost big and small, but in general it was Xia Rong. win the most.

This time, He Xin won a big head, and he was not lenient at all when collecting money. When it was He Miao's turn, He Miao still wanted to rely on the deep brotherhood and play the emotional card to repay the debt. He Xin was not happy, "Hey, it's all agreed, don't renege on the debt, if you don't have the money, ask Feng Qin to pay you." He Miao and Feng Qin had already got engaged a few days ago, but He Xin's decision The elder brother still depends on Feng Qin's nose or eyes. If it's not Feng Qin, he's not good enough. If you want to blame him, you can blame him for abducting his own brother.

When He Miao heard his brother mention Feng Qin, he blushed a lot, gave a piss, and reluctantly grabbed a handful of copper coins from his purse and gave them to He Xin without counting them, "Here you are, here you are." , who said I would renege on my debts."

He Xin laughed and returned the two extra copper coins to He Miao, "I won't take advantage of you, or you will use this as an excuse to play tricks on me later."

Several people playing a round of mahjong were in a good mood. After the end, Xia Rong held her small box of money and kept counting each one. I counted him winning the most today, but this little fool doesn't know that his luck is so good because he has been counting the cards and feeding him the cards. Even He Xin and He Miao deliberately let him, otherwise how could there be any chance? It's so easy for anyone to play a card, and he can win.

Looking at Xia Rong, who was holding a money box containing a pile of copper coins, with a smug face, Shen Xiangyan was so funny that he didn't tell the truth. The most important thing was that Xia Rong had a good time. He made up for them behind his back.

Soon after Li Dongsheng came to visit Shen's house a few years ago, this new game called mahjong was passed down to the whole town's upper-class people. This thing is much more interesting than the leaf cards they are tired of playing. Playing mahjong during the New Year has become a popular trend. If someone goes to someone's house and can't play mahjong during the New Year, they will definitely be ridiculed by others. This is an unexpected consequence for Shen Xiangyan I will not mention it for now.

Right now, Li Dongsheng, who was sent by Mr. Li to give the Shen family a new year gift, was looking at the three people across the table indignantly, "No, are the three of you in partnership? Come on, fight again, eh, I don't believe it anymore." The law of novice poker luck seems to be invalid for Li Dongsheng. Yes, this is already the fifteenth hand he lost.

Shen Xiangyan yawned without even looking at Li Dongsheng, "Come on, don't fight if you don't want to fight, I think you won't win if you come to another fifteen rounds, pay back the money, pay back the money, first pay back the money you owed before." .”

"Who said, no, just try again, maybe I'll be fooled next time." Li Dongsheng poured the last bit of pocket money in his purse on the table with reluctance, and counted it, but it wasn't enough. Even if he counted all this money, it was still half a tael short, and Li Dongsheng's face turned dark immediately. Who would have thought that his grand owner of Zhuyuexuan, a well-known young and promising man in Furong Town, only had five taels of pocket money in his monthly purse.

This matter has to be rewinded three months ago. Li Dongsheng heard that someone bought a picture of a horse that was said to be authentic at a high price of 500 taels, but when he bought it back, Mr. Li saw that it was a fake. Mr. Li was so angry that he broke it. his silver. He still has five taels of pocket money every month now, and that's because his wife took pity on him and allocated it to him from her monthly bill every month.

Shen Xiangyan sneered, "Our big boss of Zhuyuexuan only has this little money, forget it, let's go, Rong'er, He Xin, let's stop playing with him."

Li Dongsheng was about to be **** off by Shen Xiangyan's rage, but he was not reconciled. He didn't believe that he couldn't win this time today. The jasper orchid hairpin made by the master is given to my sister-in-law as a gift, and the money will be charged to my account."

Master Xing is a master craftsman hired by Zhu Yuexuan at a high price. He has a very exquisite craftsmanship passed down from his family, and every jewelry that comes out of his hands can be sold at a high price. In terms of inviting Master Xing, Shen Xiangyan helped. The main reason is that the jewelry drawn by Shen Xiangyan is very novel, which gave Master Xing a lot of inspiration. Those who have reached a certain level of craftsmanship care most about things that can provide them with inspiration. After seeing Shen Xiangyanhua's jewelry design, they decided to go to Zhuyuexuan.

This jasper orchid hairpin is the latest work of master Xing. The jade material used happened to have two colors of white and yellow from green. Master Xing used the characteristics of this material to carve an orchid hairpin. The orchid petals are White, the stamens are yellow, and the carving is lifelike, just like the real thing. Shen Xiangyan has long been thinking about taking this hairpin back for Xia Rong to wear, but Li Dongsheng has always refused, saying that he wants to put this hairpin in the store to attract customers.

Now that the hairpin is on display in the store, Li Dongsheng is cruel enough to let it out, so he expects this turned serf to sing. Shen Xiangyan raised his eyebrows, knowing that he was hooked, he smiled and nodded in agreement to give it another shot.

As you can imagine, Li Dongsheng lost again, and he lost completely. Shen Xiangyan was playing with the cards in his hand, and when he saw Li Dongsheng was about to leave, he smiled more sincerely than before, "Don't forget the orchid hairpin of my Rong'er, brother Li, remember to send it some other day, eh, by the way, And don't forget the half taels of silver you owed just now."

Li Dongsheng was heartbroken and heartbroken. He was in pain everywhere. Not only did he lose five taels of silver, he also owed half a tael. That was his pocket money for a month. He didn't know how to explain it to his wife when he returned. And that jasper orchid hairpin, how many customers can that hairpin attract to the shop every day, and it is delivered so early, what should he use to attract people into the shop.

After Li Dongsheng left, Xia Rong and He Xin finally couldn't help laughing loudly. The three of them didn't want to be a partner to bully people at first. But Li Dongsheng insisted on pulling them to play together after he learned it by himself, and the three of them had a tacit understanding in playing cards recently, so when Shen Xiangyan signaled to them later, he naturally obeyed.

Shen Xiangyan picked up Xia Rong after seeing him off, and of course he was careful not to touch his stomach, and smiled, "How about it, my husband earned you a hairpin, how do you want to repay me?"

Xia Rong put her arms around her husband's neck and gave her a sweet kiss. After thinking about it, she couldn't help but ask, "Brother Li knows he won't get angry in the future, right?"

"It's okay, since you're afraid that he'll get angry, don't let him know. Besides, we're not cheating people, Zhu Yuexuan is half as good as you and me." He knew Brother Li's temper, and he wasn't such a stingy person. If you dare to make trouble with him like this, if you put it on the hairpin, after displaying it in the shop for a period of time, you still have to give it to their family Rong'er, now it's just a little earlier.

—————

In his previous life, Shen Xiangyan had no idea about the New Year, because he had no relatives, so even during the New Year, there would be no difference in the orphanage except for posting a few red blessing characters. It is possible to add a few dishes, but there are so many children vying for it, as long as he can eat enough with his nature, he will not go up and fight for a few bites.

But it's different now, he is no longer alone during the Chinese New Year, he has his husband to accompany him, and soon a little guy will be born, naturally, the New Year's Eve also has a different impression in Shen Xiangyan's mind.

This year's New Year's Eve, in addition to the fixed dishes, Shen Xiangyan also set up a hot pot in the middle of the table. It is the most suitable time for family reunion to gather around and eat this kind of food. This way of eating hot pot is not uncommon in Fengyu Country, especially the Furong Town where he is now located in the north of Fengyu Country. It is also common to eat hot water soup in winter, but there is no specific dipping material, most of them are dipped in salt.

In addition to the special hot pot soup base, there are also special dipping sauces for eating hot pot. Shen Xiangyan first used sesame paste as a base, added chili powder, salt, sesame seeds, peanuts, and leek flowers specially prepared for the hot pot before, and finally added a little vinegar to suit Xia Rong's taste.

In addition, the mutton slices used in the hot pot are also live sheep sent from the village. After the mutton is cooked, it can be regarded as a real hot pot when eaten with special dipping sauce. It was the first time for Xia Rong to eat like this, and she fell in love with it right away.

This year, Shen Xiangyan set up another table not too far from their dining table, and they are all served by the two of them. After all, there are only two masters in the Shen family. During the Chinese New Year, there are more people and they eat in the same room , he and Rong'er can also follow the excitement.

Shen Xiangyan saw that Xia Rong's food was delicious, so he consciously took charge of the task of serving dishes and meat, adding something to Xia Rong's bowl from time to time, so that everyone in the Shen family enjoyed a New Year's Eve dinner.
