Chapter 12 New Year’s Eve

As New Year's Eve approaches, the atmosphere of New Year's Eve in the capital is getting stronger and stronger. Every household has posted new couplets, and everyone has to clean the whole family carefully.

Currently, there are only two masters in Prince Su's mansion, which is not as lively as other mansions, but there are still things to do.

The entire palace was cleaned up and down by the servants, and the housekeeper also bought a lot of New Year's goods. The little maids who could not leave the palace a few times on weekdays were all very excited, and even Sheng Sheng could not help but be infected by such an atmosphere.

As a maid, I asked Liu that he could enter and exit the palace. This year, she and the housekeeper went to buy New Year's goods.

On New Year's Eve, Wen Liu sent some popular pastries and gadgets in Xiayunjing.

Shengsheng smiled, and she took the gift from Wen Liu to her and said: Ask Sister Liu, I have a gift for you too.

Asked Liu and said in surprise: What gift?Seeing you, I thought you couldn't even remember one New Year's Eve.

Sheng Sheng was a little embarrassed when asked, and she took out an embroidered sachet from her arms.

This was embroidered by me.The crimson sachet is embroidered with blooming plum blossoms, deep and shallow, layer by layer, at first glance, ordinary, and at a closer look, hidden mystery.

Wen Liu suddenly frowned when he looked at the sachet: I saw you embroidering a sachet a few days ago, and it turned out to be given to me.

Shengsheng nodded, Well, it was for Sister Liu, because you have taken good care of me since you entered the palace.I have nothing to repay you, so I have to embroider a sachet and express my feelings.

Wen Liu took the sachet and said: I thought it was given to the young master... Forget this, I don’t think about it anymore. I think you should smile more in the future.When I saw you laughing, I realized that you actually have dimples.

Sheng Sheng subconsciously touched her cheek and said: It seems there is.

Asked Liu seemed to have thought of something, she looked at Shengsheng with a little distress.

Shengsheng, don’t take those girls’ words to heart, I’ll tell you quietly.Asked Liu Fu to Shengsheng's ear, he lowered his voice and said: Young Master Chunsheng is actually just a little awkward, he is still good to you.Your food, clothing and expenses are not comparable to ordinary maids. If you please the young master more, the young master will definitely give you a title in the future.As for the wife... do you think he might be someone who helps him discipline him?

Shengsheng nodded and asked Sister Liu, I know these.

Ask Liu Bing a little back, she relaxed and smiled, just as long as you can understand.I usually don’t dare to say these words, but I really can’t bear to see you looking like you every day.

Shengsheng said: Ask Sister Liu, I really thank you.

Ask Liu smiled and shook his head: There is nothing to thank for.

The daylight in winter is always very short, and before I know it, it gets dark, Sheng Sheng followed Liu to work.

Today is New Year's Eve, and the busy prince will return to the palace to gather with Jiang Chunsheng.

I don’t know if it was because her identity was too low, or because Jiang Chunsheng deliberately arranged that Sheng Sheng was not present to serve him.

However, this also made Shengsheng feel relieved. She couldn't appear in front of Jiang Yuncheng.

Shengsheng still remembers the scene when he first met Jiang Yuncheng. Jiang Yuncheng was only seventeen years old at that time, as old as Jiang Chunsheng at this moment.

But he and Jiang Chunsheng are completely different types. If Jiang Chunsheng writes everything on his face, then Jiang Yuncheng hides everything in his heart.

The boy stared at her, wearing a veil, but it seemed as if everything was seen through.

Shengsheng knew that he hated her.

Sheng Sheng was a little restless. She hid in the room and roasted the fire, baking some taro sweet potatoes in the stove, emitting a sweet smell.The girls next to them were talking and laughing, and the room was very lively.

Sheng Sheng stared at the red fire and breathed out, feeling that no matter how bad it was, it would not be as bad as four years ago.

On the other side, Jiang Chunsheng and Jiang Yuncheng were having a meal at the same table.

Jiang Chunsheng has never known how to write the word "rules" since he was a child, and he will not become well-behaved in front of his brother. He will do whatever he does on his usual occasions now.

Jiang Yunchengdao: How have you been doing in recent days?

The prince also knows how to care about me?

Jiang Chunsheng didn't move a few bites of vegetables at the table, and Jiang Yuncheng opened his mouth and Jiang Chunsheng lost his appetite.

Jiang Yunchengdao: I have been a little busy recently, but I am your brother, so it is natural to care about you.

Jiang Chunsheng snorted coldly, "The prince always has something more important."

Jiang Yuncheng was helpless by his younger brother. He and Jiang Chunsheng were brothers of the same father and mother, and they naturally knew each other in appearance.

Compared with Jiang Chunsheng, although Jiang Yuncheng's facial features are also handsome and delicate, they are more calm and restrained.Especially those dark eyes, it was like a deep pool that could not be seen.

Jiang Yuncheng is all noble, which is not reflected in his clothes, but his appearance and temperament.

This unattainable nobility made the young prince look inhumane and inaccessible.

But in front of his younger brother, Jiang Yuncheng's expression became much softer, and he looked like his brother from an ordinary family.

The time has not come, and some things are not something you can know now.Jiang Yuncheng picked up the wine glass and pecked and drank a sip of the wine.

Jiang Chunsheng's sharp phoenix eyes were almost spitting out the fire. Isn't the time here?Then when will it arrive?Did you not check it at all, or do you think you don’t need to check it?I never believed that my father's death was an accident!

There is such a huge palace, with a large table of delicious food, but only two brothers sit together.

It was deserted and sad. Jiang Chunsheng felt a little angry whenever he thought about what happened back then.

Jiang Yuncheng was silent. He put down the wine glass in his hand and still did not answer Jiang Chunsheng's question.

In fact, the relationship between the two brothers has become so stiff only last year.As Jiang Chunsheng grew up, he discovered many things that he had once ignored.

Jiang Xingshen, who was in his prime, was only forty years old. Even though he was not as young as he was, he was not suffering from illness. How could he die of a sudden illness?

Jiang Yuncheng hid some details because he didn't want his younger brother to understand the events of that year too deeply.The more Jiang Yuncheng concealed it, the more angry Jiang Chunsheng became when he noticed something was wrong.

After a long silence, Jiang Yuncheng finally spoke again. I know it was not an accident.

Jiang Chunsheng suddenly looked at Jiang Yuncheng, and then he asked: Who is the murderer found out?Don't tell me it's that woman. I saw that woman die with my own eyes. What I'm talking about is the mastermind behind the scenes.

Jiang Yuncheng looked at his young and energetic brother and said: I can’t tell you now.

Jiang Chunsheng's anger rose again, and he asked: Why?Do you like to take everything to yourself?Or do you think I don’t deserve to know?

I don't mean that, it's just that the time is not ripe.

Jiang Chunsheng was angry. He couldn't listen to Jiang Yuncheng's words at all, and he just felt that Jiang Yuncheng was perfunctory.

OK, needless to say!Since I don’t need to know, then you can eat slowly by yourself!Jiang Chunsheng swept his bowls, chopsticks and tea cups to the ground with one sleeve, and then took a big stroll out of the door.

The porcelain fell to the ground and made a crisp cracking sound. A few drops of tea splashed on Jiang Yuncheng's sleeves. He lowered his eyes slightly, covering up the emotions in his eyes.
