On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, people get up early, wash and bathe, burn incense and pay homage to the ancestors of heaven and earth; then every household begins to pay New Year greetings.: Read the novel
After Su Jin and Mrs. Wang paid homage to the ancestral tablets of the Su family, the housekeeper Su Fu collected a large number of famous cards at the door and placed them on the table in the flower hall.
Su Jinqi asked: "What is this?"
Su Fu was wearing a brand-new robe and was dressed like a small landowner. He looked quite humane, but his habit of talking a lot had not changed much. When Su Jin asked him, he immediately started chattering away his family treasures.
"Young master didn't like to go out in the past few years, but I don't know that now everyone in Luzhou City is making a fuss about sending famous cards to pay New Year greetings. On the first day of the new year, I usually go to the neighbors to pay New Year greetings, but on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, everyone has to send greetings to their homes.
When worshiping ancestors, going there will disturb others, so usually, someone will send someone to deliver name cards to the door to show their respect. You see, these are the name cards piled at the door from early morning to now."
Su Jin burst out laughing. It turned out that the Song Dynasty actually had business cards. This way of sending out business cards to send New Year greetings was quite fashionable, and was comparable to later generations' New Year greetings via text messages.
So he smiled and said: "Then our family has lost its name cards?"
Su Fu said proudly: "Do you still need the boss's instructions for such things? I have posted the boss's name all over Nancheng since the fourth watch. Su remembered several old shopkeepers and the guys living in the city.
I’ve been to everyone’s home, so we can’t lack the etiquette.”
Su Jin nodded and said with a smile: "You are very meticulous in your work, thank you for your hard work."
Su Fu nodded and bowed and said: "Then it's hard to use the young master's way? When my old boss was still alive, the villains followed him all over the city early in the morning. Not only did he send famous cards, but my old boss also personally drove the car with a lot of money.
A cartload of rice, flour, oil, sugar and other items were distributed along the way, so as soon as the poor people opened their doors in the New Year, they would be able to get the items distributed by their old employer."
Su Jin said in astonishment: "Then why didn't you tell me earlier? We should do the same."
Su Fu rolled his eyes and said, "This kind of thing must be personally ordered by the boss. Besides, I haven't done this for ten years. I'm not sure whether I should remind you or not. After all, this is a big expense."
Su Jin nodded and said: "It's not your fault. You first call everyone to the courtyard. The old lady will give out red envelopes to everyone. After the red envelopes are distributed, you can withdraw three hundred coins from the account. You don't have to buy anything.
Now, every family’s usual money has been dispersed. Starting from this year, I, Su Ji, will resume the legacy of our old club. Every New Year, we prepare some gifts for poor families to distribute.”
Su Fu cupped his hands and sighed: "The Dadong family really has the legacy of the old club. Like father, like son. I am really happy."
The maids and servants of Su Zhai were all called to the courtyard of the flower hall, and they were all smiling. Mrs. Wang stood on the steps and handed out red envelopes one by one. Judging from the size of the red envelopes, this year's weight is really not small. Everyone has been working hard for a year.
, finally the boss is benevolent and did not forget to give everyone some comfort.
Su Jin also announced that everyone's wages would be doubled starting this year, which made everyone cheer. Seeing everyone's smiling faces, Su Jin secretly lamented how simple their happiness should be. Getting a red envelope and a little increase in wages would be the best thing for them.
Happy time.
Yan Biyun also received a gift, which was a gold bracelet given by Mrs. Wang herself. No one else knew the meaning of this humble gold bracelet. Mrs. Wang only said a few words, and Yan Biyun was so moved that she almost cried.
This gold bracelet was a meeting gift from Mrs. Wang's mother-in-law when she came to Su's house. She kept it for twenty years without taking it out. Giving it to Yan Biyun today actually means that she has recognized and accepted Yan Biyun's intention; Yan Biyun is holding it in her heart.
Finally letting go, the old lady acknowledged her identity.
After everyone had breakfast, they started to go out; today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the temple fair in the City God's Temple is open today. It is where the people of the city gather and lively. Su Jin loves liveliness, so how can such an occasion be without him?
The group of people went out in three large cars, followed by Mahan of the Dynasty and seven or eight members of the Yan family, who followed them with high swagger. The group of people rushed westward to the City God's Temple.
The streets were crowded with people everywhere. Su Jin, riding on his horse, looked at the people around him who were calling friends and having children, and suddenly burst into laughter.
The second general of the Dynasty, Ma Han Heng Ha, hurriedly stepped forward and asked jokingly: "Why are you laughing?"
Su Jin pointed to the crowd of people on the street and said, "Look at the common people, can you see anything special?"
Dynasty Mahan Zhang Long Zhao Hu looked around with his big eyes wide open, and rubbed his eyes again and again with his hands, but he couldn't find anything special.
Ma Han said: "They all have one nose and two eyes. I don't see anyone with a pig's head or a cow's head."
Su Jin smiled and scolded: "I think you are a pig. Look at the new clothes they are wearing..."
Wang Chao suddenly realized: "Oh, it's true. It seems that these are all new clothes sold by Su Ji. Look at the style and fabrics. It turns out that our garment shop's business is so prosperous."
After hearing this, everyone hurriedly looked again, and sure enough they saw that the common people were all wearing new and bright silk clothes, but the style looked a bit like Su Ji's clothes.
Mahan grabbed a young man who was running forward in a hurry next to him, stretched out his hand and lifted the corner of the young man's clothes. The young man was frightened, and he opened Mahan's hand and said: "What do you think you are?
Don’t you like this?"
Ma Han crossed his hands and said, "Let me see, let me see."
The young man blushed and said, "Bah, I've never seen you so shameless. Even if you wanted to see it, you shouldn't have said it in broad daylight. Do you still have the shame to show it to others?"
Mahan scratched his head and said, "What are you talking about?"
The young man rolled his eyes at him, leaned close to his ear and said, "Come to Qili Bridge and wait for me in the evening. I will definitely teach you to your satisfaction, but you must bring enough money."
Mahan felt more and more strange. He scratched his head and couldn't think of a reason. He was stunned. The young man rolled his eyes and walked away.
Su Jin, Wang Chao and others laughed so hard that they almost fell off their horses.
Ma Han asked in confusion: "Why are you laughing at this incomprehensible man? I just wanted to see if there was a Su Ji logo on the inside of his clothes. This guy kept talking incomprehensible words."
, and he asked me to bring money to go to Qiliqiao to see him at night; is it so troublesome to read a sign?"
Wang Chao slapped him on the back of the head, and said with a smile: "I am Mr. Rabbit, and I asked you to meet me tonight. I didn't expect our brother Ma Han to be so popular, hahaha."
Ma Han spat: "What nonsense are you talking about? Master, is this what he meant?"
Su Jin leaned on the horse with his belly in his hands, laughing and twitching, and nodded: "You are in luck, hahaha."
Mahan cursed: "This guy is so fucking disgusting, I...I...fuck you."
Zhang Long chuckled and said: "Content, for such a handsome young man, Brother Ma, do you want the brothers to collect some money to bring it to you? In case you don't have enough money for whoring at night... Hahaha."
Ma Han struck him with his hands. Zhang Long twisted his body and ducked behind Su Jin's horse, laughing to himself.
This little episode soon spread throughout the Su family. The giggles of the female relatives in the carriage were particularly unbearable to Mahan, but he had no choice but to open his nostrils and exhale white air, looking around with his eyes.
If Mr. Rabbit was seen by Ma Han at this moment, he would probably be beaten half to death by Ma Han immediately.
The group of people slowly arrived at the street outside the City God's Temple and after a while, they looked around and saw that the square in front of the City God's Temple was already crowded with people.
The carriages and horses had no choice but to get out of the car and walk. Xiaozhu led several coachmen to park the carriages and horses on the side of the road. Everyone got off the car and walked slowly inside.
Under the sunshine, people in the Chenghuang Temple Square were walking around in red and green; how could the small merchants and hawkers miss this good opportunity?
There are all kinds of things to play with, and those who look at them are dazzled; there are also people who hold banners and jars, play monkey tricks, blow, let's play and eat next to each other, and we will play and eat them all today."
The four big foodies cheered loudly. Xiao Sui'er glared at them and said, "You know how to eat. You are responsible for protecting the young master and Miss Yan. Don't just eat."
The four big foodies were not afraid of anything, but they were afraid that Xiao Sui'er would stare at them, so they quickly shut up and kept silent. Su Jin laughed and said: "It doesn't matter, in broad daylight, you are afraid of something happening. Sui'er is ready with change, we are about to start."
.”
Xiao Sui'er raised the bulging little package in her hand and said crisply: "It's ready."
Su Jin raised his hand and said: "Let's play, let's eat...!"
Everyone swarmed behind Su Jin and rushed to the nearest food stall.
