Chapter 80 Misunderstandings about Chinese New Year
Who is it? Who is sticking up against the wall?
Is she the second daughter? My first reaction was her. Considering the second daughter’s character, she might be very sexual. I didn’t see her when I came back that day, and it wasn’t until Lan Ling left that she came out. The weather turned cold.
Finally, the three members of the family slept on the big kang. The second daughter had not found a chance to sleep against the wall for a long time. If there were conditions, I think she would not let it go easily, especially when Lan Ling and I were alone.
However, the two women are not the only suspects. Ying also has a motive for committing the crime. Ever since she used a handkerchief to deceive me that day, she has never mentioned Lan Ling again, but just because she doesn’t say it doesn’t mean she doesn’t mean it. Maybe she wants to further prove me
The relationship with Lan Ling was therefore not revealed. After the evidence was complete, the criminals were captured in one fell swoop and all the criminals were arrested.
"Hey hey", she reached out and slapped her forehead with a self-deprecating look. She was really crazy. With Ying's character, she would never climb up to the wall and eavesdrop. If she had something on her mind, she wouldn't be able to hold it in for so long. She would have told her long ago.
I tortured to extract a confession, there was no need to secretly touch her. And judging from her tone that day, she didn't care much about Lan Ling and me, she just gave a few symbolic words of advice;
Or else Ying instructed the two women, and the two women, who both wanted to know the inside story, colluded with each other and took advantage of the two women's business advantages to obtain first-hand information?
Crazy, if this continues, I can join the Criminal Investigation Department and become the captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade or something. It’s New Year’s Eve, and the family of three is celebrating the New Year happily. What kind of cramps do I have so early in the morning?
"What are you thinking about so early in the morning?" Ying on the side put her hand to explore my forehead, then moved my chin, "Stick out your tongue."
"Oh!" I stuck out my tongue for a long time and made an imaginary expression like a hanged man. My eyes deliberately turned upward, and the white kernels flickered back and forth. It was disgusting.
"Hey! What do you look like during the Chinese New Year?" Ying turned her face aside due to my grimace, "No tongue coating, everything is fine. Get up quickly, there are a lot of things to do today."
"The two girls are still sleeping, please keep your voice down." I pointed to the two girls in their sleep to remind Ying. In order to decorate the room for the New Year, the two girls spent the whole night hanging the window grilles last night. Not long after they fell asleep, their red faces were crawling.
On the pillow, there was a soft sound of snoring.
"Oh, forget her, please be gentle." Ying helped me get dressed quietly, and whispered in a low voice: "Poor, she stayed up all night, I told her to have a good sleep today, and we have to keep vigil at night."
"What are you going to do for a while? My wife has taken good care of me today. Please give me more reminders." I pointed to my head and reminded her: I am not a normal person yet. I don't know anything about how wealthy families celebrate the New Year. Please stop making trouble.
The joke came out. After all, we are now celebrities, and the impact will be very bad if word spreads.
"Yes," Ying nodded knowingly, and put a fur collar around me, "I will tell my servants to boil more hot water later. My husband will take a bath first, and then go to the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors and add more."
Consecration. Our family is doing well this year, so I asked you to make more preparations. Hey, where did you kick your shoes when you climbed up yesterday?" Ying covered her jacket and climbed on the edge of the Kang to look for my shoes.
"If there's any movement," I saw her writhing and writhing a little loudly, "you get under the covers and I'll look for it myself. It's not worth catching a cold on New Year's Day."
"I'm not looking for it anymore." Ying opened a camphor wood box next to the kang and took out a pair of new shoes. "Go down and put on these new shoes. My second daughter gave them to you in the twelfth lunar month. I've seen her craftsmanship."
.”
"You're not short of money, don't do this in your own house from now on. I'm worried about either of you being tired, and you won't be allowed to do it in the future." Touching the thin stitching holes on the new shoes, he didn't feel excited.
I just felt uncomfortable in my heart. It turned out that I had seen people put on the soles of shoes, and their hands were full of needle holes when they brought thimbles. The second daughter was only a little older, and she had to do this rough work. I wonder how a man like me could bear to wear them.
"You won't allow it anymore. If you ask me to see either of you wearing shoe soles again, I'll really beat you up."
After hearing what I said, Ying looked at it intently for a while, "That's a long way to go. Get dressed and get out quickly. Women, don't mind other people's affairs. We're still busy outside."
"Well, let's go down. You should wear them quickly. I don't know what to do without you here. I'm so panicked." I put on the new shoes that the second daughter had personally received, and I tried my best to stand on the ground. Suddenly
Thinking of an auspicious message for the new year, Chong Ying whispered: "Madam, come closer, I have something to say to you."
Ying saw that my expression was different from before, and she moved to the edge of the kang with a puzzled look on her face, "What do you want to say?"
I hugged Ying over, held her tightly in my arms, and gently kissed her surprised little face, "Madam, you have worked hard at home for a year, thank you for your hard work." I wanted to say something auspicious.
, as soon as he saw her pointed little face, he couldn't help but dote on her, and even his words changed. "Madam, happy New Year." Seeing that Ying's little eyes were misty, she quickly added.
Ying Huan wiped the corners of her eyes, "It's true. It's the Chinese New Year, it makes me cry." After saying that, she buried her face in my chest and her shoulders twitched. After a while, she raised her head and took out a handkerchief.
I kept wiping my clothes, "It's all you! Your fine clothes are dirty, change them!"
I didn't say the auspicious words well, failed! I need to adjust the atmosphere, it's lifeless. "Did you eat candied haws on a stick before going to bed last night?"
"Yeah." Ying didn't know why and nodded.
"Did you rinse your mouth after eating?"
"No, I was very sleepy, so I fell asleep."
"I'm telling you, there's a smell in your mouth. Smell it yourself." While Ying was blocking her nose to smell her breath, I turned around and headed for the door.
When I opened the door, Yingcai realized that I was teasing her and threw the handkerchief at me hard.
The servants at home started busy early. As soon as they left the back door, they saw the steward Qian, who was wearing a thick sheepskin cloak, bringing two rolls of paper. His nose and fat face were red from the cold, and he seemed to be waiting outside.
Been a while.
"Happy New Year, little Marquis! To dust off the old and bring in the new, the old man has brought all the door gods back to our house early in the morning. I'm afraid I'll disturb you, so I'll be waiting for a while." When Butler Qian saw me coming out, he quickly wished me a happy new year.
"Well, Happy New Year to Uncle Qian!" I politely returned the gift and congratulated him with two words: "I also wish Uncle Qian all the best and all his wishes come true."
Maybe my New Year's greetings were too forward-looking and too straightforward. The old housekeeper was so moved that he kept bowing, "Thank you, Mr. Marquis, for your kind words. Thank you, Mr. Marquis! Listening to your words, this old man feels warm in his heart. Old man..."
After finishing it, he said, "Don't be too warm, hurry up and pick up the doorkeeper. Let me see how you can do it." Yes, these two congratulatory messages are very effective. I use them when meeting acquaintances in the first month of the year to congratulate them. Please read the post about the doorkeeper first.
, I like these folk customs, they are interesting.
The butler muttered something and bowed to the old door god who had been working hard for a year. Then he took a small wooden shovel and carefully invited the original door god down. The paper was brittle due to the wind and sun.
If you do it carefully, it will fall apart.
I pointed at the black-faced doorkeeper and blurted out: "Yu Chi Jingde!"
"Ah?" The old butler didn't understand, so he quickly turned around and asked, "What are your orders from the young marquis? What's the well?"
Oolong! Yuchi Jingde and Qin Shubao passed away not long ago, and they were promoted to door gods not so soon. Now they should be... I ask: "Who is this?" I pointed to the picture that the butler had just posted.
"Shen Tu, the great god! Exorcise evil spirits and catch ghosts, protect your house from being invaded by evildoers, and keep you safe forever." After saying this, he bowed to the door, spread out another painting in his hand, and introduced: "This
It's Yu Lei, Shen Tu's younger brother. Both brothers are immortals. The old man will quickly invite you two to come up."
Shen Tu, Yu Lei? No impression, not familiar. They all grinned, not as friendly as Grandpa Qin Yu. When I think of the door god, I think of Qin Yu on the right. It's much colder than Chang'an there, and I don't know what happened last month.
Have you received the fur cloak that the entruster sent you? God bless me, I hope nothing happens in Tubo when spring comes. It is my biggest wish this year to have Qin Yu come back with all his beard and tail. Thinking of this, I also learn
Looking like a steward of money, he bowed respectfully to the door god and made his wish with all his heart.
