Fireworks on New Year's Eve are a must-have event every year.
The emperor took everyone outside the banquet hall. When the bell rang, it was also the time when fireworks bloomed in the sky. The New Year arrived in the splendor of the fireworks. Everyone smiled and said to the people around them: "Happy New Year
!”
Chengchun, who was far away in the suburbs, stood in the yard, looking at the gorgeous fireworks in the sky in the distance, and was a little stunned.
Or Hongdou suddenly came to Chengchun: "Madam, Happy New Year!"
Cheng Chun suddenly came to his senses and said with a smile: "Happy New Year!"
Hongdou stretched out her hand and hugged Chengchun tightly: "Madam, we will get better and better in the new year!"
"Well, we will get better and better!" Chengchun looked at the fireworks not far away, with smiles spreading in his eyes.
That night, Cheng Chun fell asleep amidst the continuous sound of fireworks. Although the sound was very noisy, he had a rare good sleep.
The next morning, Chengchun got up early and distributed the purses she had prepared early one by one. She stayed here and troubled a lot of people. Although there was not a lot of silver in her purse, she
It was also her heartfelt wish. Everyone was very happy to receive such a gift on New Year's morning.
It seems that there is a saying about worshiping gods on the first day of the new year, so people started slowly going up the mountain very early, hoping to go to the top of the mountain to meet Master Huide. When it got a little brighter, there was an endless stream of people going up the mountain.
.
Chengchun stood in the attic, looking at the dense crowd outside with some surprise: "Didn't you say that Master Huide doesn't see guests?"
"We don't see guests, but everyone will come here. Even if we pay homage outside the courtyard, we are happy to do so. It is said that if we meet a particularly miserable person, Master Huide will still open the door to see guests!" Forsythia beside her said softly.
said.
Chengchun was speechless for a moment: "Then doesn't this mean it's a good sign to open the door?"
Forsythia was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing: "That seems to be the truth!"
"Madam, do you want to go take a look later?" Hongdou on the side came over.
Chengchun quickly shook his head: "I won't go. If he opens the door, then I will really cause trouble for myself on New Year's Day."
Forsythia laughed: "My wife's life will not be bitter. She will definitely be a blessed person in the future."
"If I were really lucky, I wouldn't be able to come here." Cheng Chun smiled helplessly.
"Every hardship comes with joy! How can I not have good blessings if I am such a good lady? God is fair, and he will not let you suffer forever!" Forsythia said with a smile, then turned and walked out, "What do you want for lunch today, Madam?
Do you want to eat dumplings?”
"Is there any big day here where people eat dumplings?" Chengchun hesitated, but couldn't help but ask.
"Dumplings, they are not as delicious as dumplings, and not as fun as..." Forsythia quickly closed her mouth, "But if I want some Jiangnan specialties, that's fine, the cook will be back early in the morning!"
Chengchun thought for a while: "Then I'd better eat dumplings. I'll eat whatever everyone eats, don't be so special."
Forsythia responded with a smile, turned and left.
After the New Year, spring will begin. Hong Dou looked at Chengchun and asked cautiously: "Madam, after this New Year is over, shouldn't we prepare things to go back?"
Chengchun looked back at Hongdou, and then nodded: "After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, all the shops on the street should be open. Then we will buy some things for the road. It's a pity that I'm not good at it.
If I go out, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Forsythia again!"
Hongdou said nothing.
Chengchun thought for a long time and then said: "Hongdou, you know that it will be hard to follow me. In the days to come, I am an ordinary person without any support. If I want to take root in one place, it will be really hard.
You stay in the Marquis Mansion, find someone you like, and getting married may not be a bad thing..."
"Madam!" Hongdou interrupted Chengchun, "I was sold when I was very young and worked as a maid in other people's homes. I work hard and can endure hardships. I work hard and as long as I have the chance to learn to read, I will
I quickly went to learn, and I climbed up the ladder little by little, and finally became the fifth master's personal maid in Jiangnan. In fact, it was just to have enough food and to be beaten less."
Chengchun looked at Hongdou and said nothing for a long time.
"My status is low, and everyone treats me as a servant. Only my wife treats me sincerely. Madam, do you still remember that time when you were beaten several times because you didn't want me to be beaten?
?No one has ever protected me like this since I was a child, never!" Hongdou looked into Chengchun's eyes and unconsciously turned red, "There is no reason, I just want to follow you, even if I eat again
So much suffering!”
Chengchun stretched out his hand and took Hongdou into his arms: "You idiot Hongdou, don't follow me and jump into the river next time, you will really die!"
Hongdou was amused: "It will never happen again in this life."
In fact, at the beginning, Chengchun had no intention of taking Hongdou with him. She was too aware of the cruelty of this reality. The future she longed for seemed simple, but it was difficult for her.
If a daughter's family wants to gain a place in this place, it has to work dozens of times more than a man's, and it is even more difficult to take root in a place.
If she was alone, she could survive as long as she had a place to sleep and a mouthful of food to eat. But if Hongdou was there, she couldn't just think about whether she could survive.
Every time Chengchun thinks about this, she feels very selfish, especially since Hongdou can jump directly into the river without blinking an eye, just to save her. The river water in the cold winter is so cold and biting, she thinks about it now
She couldn't help but tremble all over when she got up, but Hongdou didn't hesitate for half a year. She just wanted to save herself.
So, how could she be willing to abandon such a person who simply wanted to be with her?
Hongdou turned around and was about to leave to help Forsythia prepare the lunch meal, but she heard Chengchun say: "Hongdou, I haven't visited the capital on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. I heard it's very lively. Let's go together then, okay?"
good?"
"Okay!" Hongdou smiled and nodded, then left.
Even though Chengchun stood in the attic and looked at the mountain path with people coming and going, she clasped her hands together and prayed softly: "Master Huide, if you are really so efficacious, you must make Hongdou and I have a good future."
, you must let me return home smoothly and return to my parents!"
