First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

Chapter 238 New Year’s Day 1

The next day was the first day of the Lunar New Year. Just as Su Jixiang was about to get up, he was grabbed back by a strong arm.

"Madam, it's the first day of the new year, I wish you good health and good luck." The first thing Su Jixiang saw was Wei Ling's handsome face. As he had just woken up, his eyes were still a little loose and sleepy, and his long hair was casually scattered, adding a lazy sexiness to him.

His voice was a little hoarse, deep and pleasant.

Su Jixiang's face turned slightly red when he thought of what this person had asked for last night.

"General, good luck," she said in a low voice.

"Can you call me A-Ling?" Wei Ling asked slowly, moving closer to Su Jixiang and then burying his head in her neck. "It's okay to call me general outside. I can be the general of many people, but here, I am just your A-Ling."

Su Jixiang's heart trembled slightly, and her eyes couldn't help but feel slightly warm.

She was no longer a person who was easily moved, but Wei Ling's words really touched her heart, as if they had pierced through the hard shell she had built around her heart and touched her softest heart.

"Okay." She raised her hand to brush away the long hair scattered on Wei Ling's forehead, and gently brushed his almost perfect jawline with her fingertips, and said softly, "A Ling."

Wei Ling closed his eyes and bowed towards Su Jixiang again, "Jixiang." He murmured.

"It's Jixiang." Su Jixiang said with a smile, and she raised her hand and put her arm around Wei Ling's shoulders.

"Do you have any family?" Wei Ling asked.

Su Jixiang was slightly startled, and then he didn't know how to answer Wei Ling.

"Why aren't you talking?" Wei Ling asked in a muffled voice.

Su Jixiang was shocked. When she was reborn in this body, she had already investigated the original Su Jixiang. The original body was the daughter of a county magistrate. She entered the palace through a selection. Because of her outstanding appearance and no background, she had no money to bribe the eunuchs and maids in charge of the palace. Therefore, she was suppressed and directly assigned to be a palace maid, and later she was squeezed into the cold palace.

She did find some letters from home among her original body's belongings, but since she arrived, there have been no more letters mailed to her from home.

As for the situation of her original family, she only found out after asking around herself. It turned out that she was a concubine's daughter and her biological mother had died.

She entered the palace for selection to replace her eldest sister.

Su Jixiang got to know the eunuch in charge and found the maid who had gone to Songjiang County to pick her up. She got her drunk and found out the truth. Because she was a concubine's daughter, she was not eligible for the selection. And because the legitimate sister who was eligible already had a lover, she cried all day at home. Finally, the magistrate of Songjiang County, who was Su Jixiang's biological father, adopted Su Jixiang to her legitimate mother, so that she could enter the capital with the title of legitimate daughter.

Although she had been adopted by her stepmother, and it could not be considered a complete replacement, it was still difficult to say it out loud. Therefore, the Su family not only gave Nanny Jie Yin a sum of money to keep her quiet, but also did not treat her very well after Su Jixiang entered the palace. At first, they sent two letters to inquire about her situation, but after learning that she was not chosen as a concubine and was just a palace maid, they basically had no contact with her anymore.

So there is no big difference between having such family members or not.

Su Jixiang thought about it carefully, and then said, "It should be gone." She felt someone pinching her waist gently, and her eyes widened. Although Wei Ling still buried his head in her neck, he did not move.

"Why are you pinching me?" Su Jixiang raised her hand and patted Wei Ling's hand on her waist and asked.

"You have a family. That's me!" Wei Ling raised his head and looked into Su Jixiang's eyes and said word by word. "You are the only one I have, and I am the only one you have!"

Su Jixiang laughed, "I thought you were asking me if I had any other family members! How could you be so childish!"

Wei Ling propped himself up slightly and kissed Su Jixiang on the cheek, "I am so childish!" Then he raised his handsome eyebrows at Su Jixiang provocatively.

Su Jixiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he could only push Wei Ling: "It's time to get up! It's the first day of the new year after all! We have to eat glutinous rice balls in the morning. A happy reunion! The glutinous rice balls were already made yesterday, I'll just go and cook them."

"It's the first day of the new year, how can I trouble you to do all this?" Wei Ling held Su Jixiang down and said, "I'll go!"

"You can do it?" Su Jixiang was about to ask, but then he remembered that this guy could even make his own clothes, so how difficult would it be to cook glutinous rice balls... "Then you really can do it..." Su Jixiang changed his tone and smiled. "Then let's go together!"

"Okay! It's just right for me to wear the new clothes made by my wife! New Year, new atmosphere, everything should be new!" Wei Ling said with a smile.

In the end, it was Guihua who cooked the dumplings, because Wei Ling and Su Jixiang got up and pulled each other to bed when they changed into new clothes.

Guihua and Lushui originally came with hot water to help with washing, but when they heard the charming sounds coming from the room, they both tried to hold back their laughter and hid away.

By the time Su Jixiang and Wei Ling were dressed and walked out of the room, it was almost noon.

"It's all your fault!" Su Jixiang blushed slightly as she looked at the four-color glutinous rice balls that Guihua brought. She gently pushed Wei Ling. "That's good. Breakfast has become lunch!"

Wei Ling, on the other hand, looked calm and composed. He coughed lightly, then took out a red envelope and gave it to Guihua. "New year, new atmosphere!"

"Thank you, General!" Guihua and the others immediately saluted Wei Ling happily.

"I have some here too." Su Jixiang also took out a red envelope, "Peace and prosperity!"

Guihua and the others were so happy that they could see their teeth. "Madam is so kind to us!" Lushui said quickly.

"I'm not nice to you guys?" Wei Ling glared and said with a smile, "Could it be that my red envelope is not as big as your wife's?"

"General is good too! But Madam is better!" Guihua said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, you are good at talking!" Wei Ling said with a smile, "Take some more red envelopes to distribute!" After that, he took out a lot of money and handed them to Guihua and Lushui.

Guihua and Lushui immediately took the red envelopes and called Weidong and the others to distribute the red envelopes...

"Just pamper them!" Wei Ling looked at Guihua and the others' cheerful voices, and said to Su Jixiang with a smile, "Now they all know that praising you is more effective than praising me!"

"Isn't it because you, A Ling, pamper me?" Su Jixiang said with a smile.

Wei Ling looked at Su Jixiang with eyes full of doting, "Yes, yes, yes! Aren't you just relying on me to dote on you? My wife!"
