Chapter 283 New Year's Eve

After Liang Ruoxu learned about this, he made a special trip to see the growth of those vegetables with his own eyes.

Seeing his smiling face, the second elder brother has a deep understanding of the "significance" of this matter. This is a matter of political sensitivity. Anyway, he really didn't realize the importance of this matter at first, so he has to learn There is more to come.

Then Liang Ruoxu and his disciples discussed it, and Mr. Yuan came forward to write a letter to Emperor Ming Pei, and Liang Ruoxu wrote the notes at the same time.

Emperor Ming Pei was very diligent in his administration, and the seals were usually near the new year, from the nineteenth to the twenty-first, and the opening of the seal was usually around the ninth day of the lunar month, so this booklet could be handed in just when the seal was opened.

Because this is a happy event, even the high-ranking people are willing to promote it. After all, the emperor is happy when the Chinese New Year is celebrated and everyone is happy.

Chinese New Year is approaching in a blink of an eye, and everyone is very busy.

Yan Shenjue is also very busy.

This is mainly because Mrs. Lin took the thick ugly hairpin that her sons bought for her and sold it in the city, and exchanged for a Bu Yao. Yes don't don't don't.

It was this envious little look that got into trouble, and when Yan Xiaolang saw it, he insisted that Xiu Niang make her two beautiful little buns, and there must be something to shake on them.

Xinbao's hair now has a bit of a bob and will go past her ears, so it's a tall order.

Fortunately, after more than two days of tossing the embroiderer, I finally made it.

It is still like the previous Xiaoyao Towel, it is a small cover with a small string, tied to her small braids, after it is tied, it looks a bit like a double-snail bun, but on top of the bun, it is made of a slightly harder fabric There is a flower bud, and there are a few small spikes hanging down inside the flower bud, swaying around the side of the bun, so beautiful, so lively, so cute! !

Even if Xinbao was still thinking about it, she is not a particular person... But after seeing the finished product, she wanted to say, no! I am a fastidious beauty!

Xin Bao was so happy that he could not see his teeth, he looked in the mirror for half an hour and was still looking.

Yan Shenjue is also very happy, every time he dresses up the dumpling and sees that she likes it, he will be very happy.

Hearing the laughter, Xinbao reluctantly took off her bun, planning to wear it again at the first day of the new year.

At the moment, Mrs. Lin is putting up window grilles with a few members of the Lin family.

The second elder brother is also able to use his handwriting now. He took a brush and ink, cut out paper and wrote couplets and blessing characters. The blessing characters should be pasted on every door and on the greenhouse, so there is a lot to write.

Moreover, the country people have always had a habit, whichever has a scholar, the folks will come to him to ask for a couplet or something, and someone will definitely come to their home to ask for it.

So the second brother moved the table out and wrote it outside, and whoever came would give them a pair of couplets and two blessings.

Yan Chenjue saw so many people, so he went out to take his place for a while. Fortunately, it is a custom not to go out after noon on New Year's Eve, so at noon, everyone was sent away.

Xinbao suddenly remembered, went out and called Bai Gusheng, and gave everyone a pulse.

Tang Qingshan has been drinking ginseng wine for nearly three months, and his body has fully recuperated. The second brother has also drank the medicine for more than five months, and his body has almost recovered. Both of them can stop taking the medicine directly. That's it.

The fourth brother's legs can't be seen to be lame when he walks slowly now, but he still needs to drink medicine for more than a month. Although Old Escort Lin has only taken the medicine for a few days, he is supplemented by acupuncture, and his face is obviously relieved. , The chest does not feel stuffy.

Everything was going well, Xinbao grinned happily, and everyone was also very happy.

Yuan Yaochu is now the king of children, running around with the twins and the newcomer Lin Xingqiao, and the older children are helping in the kitchen.

The Chinese New Year is very grand among the folks. There are stewed meat, smoked fish, and stewed chicken here; fried meatballs, noodle leaves, lotus root clips, and sugar cakes; steamed buns, steamed jujube cakes, and stuffed meat Dumplings.

Regardless of Tang Qingshan and Brother Tang's resolute looks, they are actually very good at making dumplings. Yan Shenjue is very close to Tang Qingshan now, and as soon as he entered, he moved a stool and sat next to the two of them, learning how to make dumplings.

The second elder brother didn't study today either, so he and Lin Xingsong and Lin Xingbai put meat stuffing in the lotus root clips; the fourth brother Tang squatted on the ground, grabbing the small fluff left on the chicken bit by bit; the third brother Tang was very strong, and now he is even stronger It's grown up, so under the command of Mrs. Lin, she rubbed the huge lump of face helplessly...

Xinbao walked around and picked a job within his ability... Yuru was rolling out the dough, and when the time came, he would cut it into oblique squares, cut a hole in the middle and then dig it out. It was the dough leaves. Xinbao did this digging The work of facing the leaves.

That's all the little chubby hands can do, Yan Shenjue said, let her hold beans with chopsticks every day to practice the dexterity of her hands... But now, she is still old with peanuts! !

Alas, there is a long way to go! !

Everyone was chatting and laughing. Over there, two cooks were guarding two big pots, frying sweet ones and salty ones.

The twins ran around and came back, washed their hands in the spring water, grabbed a lotus root clip and ate it, the salty smell wafted over, Xinbao also became greedy, clapped his hands and went to grab a leaf.

Yuru is also good at martial arts. The leaves of the rolled noodles are very thin, and goat's milk is added. After the oil is soaked, a layer of bubbles emerges. It is sweet, crispy and fragrant. Xinbao's eyes are squinted, and then she goes The kitchen took a small dustpan, picked a few in the dustpan, turned them around and fed them to the family members, each person took a bite, and two or three people would eat one.

After Big Brother Tang took a bite, Yan Chenjue also took a bite. This kind of thing of sharing the same food with others... For him, it is really a novel experience, which should be disgusting in his imagination, but I don’t know why , It's like putting a cup of honey water in my heart, sweet and warm, bubbling happily.

This is usually the case during the Chinese New Year. When cooking, the children have enough to eat, and only the adults eat seriously at night.

The Tang family bought wine in advance, and bought fruit wine for the woman. Everyone poured wine and had a hearty meal.

In the early morning of the first day of the new year, Xinbao put on new clothes. Because she couldn’t wear red, she wore blue and purple. Small embroidered shoes, pretty ones, don't want them.

Mrs. Lin also dressed up very beautifully today. She seldom wears a high bun, but today she wore a high bun, put on a gait, and wore earrings.

There is a funeral at home this year, so you can't go to other people's homes to pay New Year's greetings, and others can't come to their house to pay New Year's greetings, but there are so many people in the family, and the mother and wife walked around holding hands, and they received a lot of compliments.

The family had a comfortable New Year, and until the fifteenth day, Zhou Xiucai and his wife Zhao Shi who were invited came over.

The husband and wife are about forty years old, and their faces are very kind. After discussing with each other, the monthly payment was tentatively set at twenty taels of silver. In addition, apart from the Tang family, if children from other clans want to come, each person's bundle will be paid. The repair is two hundred coins, and this part of the money is given directly to the husband. If there are children from other ethnic groups who want to come to learn, the husband can receive as much as he wants.

This is a normal price.

Although the students in ordinary private schools are high-skilled, the account is not calculated in this way, because if they were charged at that price, ninety-nine out of ten of these children would not come to study. If an ordinary scholar goes to a family to be a husband, generally speaking, the monthly payment is only about ten taels, and it is possible to be as cheap as four or five taels.

You don't have to worry about food, lodging, firewood and water, so Zhou Xiucai is quite satisfied.

After sending Zhou Xiucai to the old house, when Tang Qingshan came out, Tang Zhaodi was standing at the door of Hu's house, tearfully twisting the corner of his clothes: "Uncle..."

I'm so pitiful written all over her face, but Tang Qingshan didn't look at her, just nodded: "Yeah."

Seeing him leave just like that, Tang Zhaodi's demeanor quickly changed into resentment, and he cursed through gritted teeth: "I'll die badly!!"

Tang Qingshan looked back at her.

Tang Zhaodi's face froze, and when he was about to smile again, Tang Qingshan had already left.

Tang Qingshan went to Tang Duanwu, told him about the Shuxiu he had ordered, and then said: "Let's go to the old patriarch's place together in a while to discuss business matters."

Tang Duanwu was overjoyed and said anxiously: "Success, success!"
