Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 182 Colorful clothes for fun

The first day of the new year comes after New Year's Eve. On the morning of the first day of the new year, Huang Ye went to pay New Year's greetings to her parents first and received two big red envelopes. Then, she, her two brothers and sister-in-law, and holding Yu Ge'er, went to Funing Hall to pay New Year's greetings to the old grandfather and the old lady.

The two of them had been prepared long ago, sitting on chairs in new clothes, accepting the children's kowtows and greetings. Looking at the four children kneeling in front of her, the old lady held back the tears that were about to flow, and gave red envelopes to everyone. However, Huang Ye's red envelope was obviously much thicker than the others.

"Grandma, you are biased. My sister's red envelope is bigger than Yu'er's." Hong'er joked. After they grew up, the red envelopes given by their grandmother were no longer silver or peanuts like they used to when they were children, but all silver bills.

"You're so grown up, and yet you still compare yourself with your sister. Aren't you ashamed?" Although the old lady was joking, she felt very upset. She had been waiting for a granddaughter, and the family would have relatives to visit after she got married. But who knew that this granddaughter would bring disaster to the royal family? Fortunately, this child had a promising future. The old man said that he had never seen such a smart child so far, and even if she entered the palace, she would not suffer any loss.

The first and second days of the Chinese New Year are the days for relatives to visit each other. The Huang family has no relatives, so there is no one to disturb them. The family has a lively time. Huang Ye gathered all the maids and servants in the garden to rehearse the program in advance, of course, without the knowledge of their family members. These two days, she personally led them to perform, such as her adaptation of Zhao Lirong's version of Going to the City to Work. Huang Ye's role as Zhao Lirong made the old lady laugh so hard that she couldn't stop smiling. She said that this old lady is so old and still goes out to work, speaks so funny, and can sing songs. She is really a living treasure.

The whole family was conquered by Huang Ye's novel and interesting performance. Hong Ge'er exclaimed that it was interesting and said that if this performance was moved to a theater, it would be much more attractive than those babbling plays. Moreover, families with a little bit of wealth in the capital would invite a troupe to perform at home if there were weddings or funerals. Due to time constraints, they usually sang in sections, commonly known as excerpts. What his sisters performed was much more interesting than those excerpts.

"Sister, if you perform this song you composed at those banquets, I guarantee that the opera singers will have no chance to perform." Hongger felt that her sister must be very smart, otherwise how could she come up with such a novel and interesting new play.

"The opera troupe naturally has its own traditions. I just came up with the idea of ​​entertaining my family with colorful costumes when I was free. You just have to enjoy watching it." Huang Ye also remembered the skit he had seen in his previous life. On a whim, he thought that if he modified it a little and moved it here, it should be able to tickle people's funny bones. As a result, his family members have been watching it for the past two days and have forgotten the sadness of parting.

Huang Ye thought she had forgotten, but it was just self-deception. No one in the family could be happy to return to their own courtyard. As the day of entering the palace was getting closer, everyone was filled with reluctance.

Just after dinner on the second night of the Lunar New Year, Qingyuer came to Furong Garden and brought the latest news about Xu Rou. Qiudie secretly spread the word that the killer Xu Rou had saved before appeared in Tingfengju late at night on the first night of the Lunar New Year.

It happened that Qiu Die was on duty yesterday, and the killer climbed in through the window. Qiu Die was so scared that she covered her mouth. She didn't scream, but just gently pushed Xu Rou, waking up Xu Rou who was sleeping.

"Don't be afraid, I won't harm you." The man said to Xu Rou.

This was a young man, quite handsome. He kindly asked Qiu Die to leave, as he had something to say to her young lady. Qiu Die looked at Xu Rou, who nodded slightly to her. She could only get up, because the night shift required one to be ready to serve at any time, so she was still fully dressed and only needed to put on a large coat.

Qiu Die was reluctant to go out. She wanted to know what shameful thing the two of them were plotting. She instinctively thought it was related to her benefactor.

Qiu Die's hesitation seemed to the two people present that she was devoted to her master and was afraid that her master would be hurt. Xu Rou said to her in a kind tone that she had never used before: "Go out, I'm fine, he won't hurt me."

Just when Qiu Die was about to freeze to death outside the door, she heard Xu Rou calling her to come in. The room was empty at this time, and Xu Rou looked very excited.

"Qiu Die, that bitch is about to die. I didn't want her to die so soon. I wanted to trample her under my feet and tease her before letting her die. But she insisted on coming to the palace to share my favor. This is what I can't tolerate the most. You just wait and see, this bitch can't enter the palace." Huang Ye's beauty became a thorn in Xu Rou's side. She instinctively felt that if Huang Ye entered the palace, she would be her biggest threat.

Qiu Die is now a mature Qiu Die. She looks very surprised and agrees with Xu Rou in saying that Huang Ye deserves to die. But she is extremely anxious in her heart. When it was almost evening, she finally got a chance to get food from the big kitchen. She calmly informed the busy Master Xu. Master Xu also knew that it was a serious matter, so he lied and went out to tell the person who Qing Yuer specially arranged to wait here.

Qingyuer's men acted quickly, and the news reached the mansion in about half an hour. When Huang Ye received the news, it had already darkened outside, but with the light of the thin snow on the ground providing some reflection, it was still possible to see things clearly.

"The killer has never been to the mansion, so he shouldn't be able to find the young lady's residence for a while, right?" This was the question Qing Yu'er had been thinking about along the way.

Huang Ye didn't think so: "Even if a killer wanted to sneak in during the day to investigate, the mansion wouldn't be able to detect it. I think the killer must have already prepared something and is just waiting to strike."

"What should we do? I'll go call Uncle Song and the Second Young Master over." Those were assassins from Wuyou Pavilion, and these two were the only people in the mansion who could deal with them. Qing Yu'er was really scared. The young lady was about to enter the palace, and what would happen if something happened to her?
