167 New Year's greetings
Chapter 167 New Year's greetings
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Liaodong is still snowing heavily.
Song Chengming got up very early, and he spent Chinese New Year's Eve in the barracks in previous years. This year, in order to accompany Wu Niang, I was at home. But when I got up in the morning, I still had to hurry to the barracks. Where can you really throw the soldiers behind and go home for reunion by yourself.
He looked at Wu Niang's sleeping face and didn't wake her up. But he put on his clothes and went down to wash.
Wu Niang opened her eyes, looked at his back, and got up.
I went to the teahouse to wash my hands and gave him a bowl of silver silk noodles. With pork rib soup as the base, put a few spinach, sprinkle coriander and chives after cooking, and add sesame oil to make it delicious.
When Song Chengming came out, he saw that the quilt on the kang was empty, and immediately after, there was movement outside. He hurried out and saw Wu Niang coming in the tea room with a tray. When she saw her, she smiled, "Come here, eat the noodles and leave." "It's so cold outside, don't eat something hot, wait on a horse, brave the wind and snow, cold and hungry, how can you stand it.
"Why are you up?" Song Chengming went over to take the plate, "Woke you up?"
"Nope. Wu Niang rolled her eyes and scolded him, "I haven't slept before, I can't feel it?" Besides, I knew you were going to go out in the middle of the night, so I couldn't be awake." She urged Song Chengming, "Hurry up and eat, aren't you still in a hurry?"
Song Chengming sat down and brought the sea bowl down from the tray. Wu Niang followed, reached out for the cold dish side dish, and pushed it forward.
Steamed dried eggplant with garlic and soaked sour radish. It's just the next meal.
After eating, a layer of sweat broke out on people's heads. Song Chengming kept looking up at Wu Niang, he really became a pro-person, although he used to be served by the people below and was also intimate, but it had to be what he told him to do, and the people below did it. Where it's like now, you don't have to worry about anything, someone will take care of it properly.
"I'm gone, and you go back to sleep. If there is a door-to-door New Year's greeting, you will receive it. Song Chengming told her while eating, "Anyway, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, everyone knows that I am not there." Most of the time, it's probably not polite. ”
Wu Niang nodded, "Don't worry about family affairs, there is me." ”
Song Chengming even poured the noodles with soup into his stomach. Wu Niang got up and took her a big hat, "Are you wearing knee pads?"
"Weared. Song Chengming lowered his body and let Wu Niang tidy up his clothes for him. "You go back to sleep, it's still early. ”
Wu Niang responded casually, brought him the collar, covered his neck, ears and most of his face, and then pushed him out. "Go early and come back early. ”
Song Chengming pulled down the collar and showed his face, 'Let's chirp' and kiss Wu Niang's face, then ran out with a smile, "It's cold outside, don't come out to send it." ”
Wu Niang's hand covered her face, "This person, have you rinsed your mouth after eating?" muttered, but her face was flushed.
She yawned, and the voice of cilantro came from outside, "Master, do you want to sleep?"
"No, come in and freshen up. Wu Niang raised her voice and shouted, "Let Zi Qi tell someone to clean up and load the car according to the prepared before." We'll be out in a minute. "On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the people outside don't all get up in the middle of the night to start paying New Year's greetings.
Coriander agreed, and without much effort, Red Pepper also came in, "I'll wait for the master to freshen up, and Sister Coriander will get the master something to eat." ”
Wu Niang nodded and went inside.
After freshening up, I sat around the quilt at the kang table and had breakfast in a hurry. That's when I put it on.
"Or do you wear cotton?" asked Coriander.
"Hmm!" Wu Niang nodded, "It's good to be simple and neat, and put away all the jewelry or something." You can't wear it anymore. ”
Coriander knew Wu Niang's temperament, so she didn't persuade her at all.
After packing up, Wu Niang took Haishi Chun Leeks and them out, and the coriander and them stayed in the house.
"Are you walking?" asked Chun Leek.
"Tell someone to drive the carriage and drive us slowly, let's walk. Wu Niang looked at the fine snowflakes floating in the sky, and shivered from the cold.
When she arrived at the outer courtyard, Chang He was waiting for her.
"Why did Uncle He get up so early? You go back and rest, it's cold. Wu Niang retracted her hand into her sleeve cage and said.
Chang He shrank back, "Where are you going, princess? ”
Wu Niang walked over and helped Chang He to enter the hall before saying, "I thought, this Chinese New Year, soldiers can't go home." I took the New Year's goods and went to the families of these soldiers of the Liaodong Army who were recorded in the New Year's greetings. In the barracks, up to the general, down to the commander. One counts as one. I've asked someone to inquire before, and I probably have a spectrum in my heart about who's family and what's going on. Let's give this New Year's gift according to your needs, regardless of the grade. If there is a sick person in the family, we will send medicinal herbs. If there is a large population and few laborers, let's send more rice and grain. Even if it's whole grains. The top is done. This year's goods are also real things. If the conditions are good, let's send some dried seafood, which can also be handled. ”
Chang He was stunned for a moment, and only in the light in this hall could he see Wu Niang's dress, the most ordinary red cloak on her body, and the cotton dress inside, with only a velvet flower on her head, and no jewelry at all. Plain and powerful. There were tears in his eyes, and he was about to kneel down in front of Wu Niang, "Thank you for Taizong and Prince Duanhui." ”
Regardless of the reason for doing this, it is very important for the prince to win people's hearts for the prince, especially at this time, when the chaos is coming, and it is very important for the prince to win people's hearts.
The prince shared weal and woe with the soldiers in the barracks. The princess was behind to comfort the family.
If this does not win the hearts and minds of the people, then how can we win the hearts and minds of the people?
Wu Niang hurriedly stretched out her hand to stop her, "Uncle He, what are you doing here?" she helped Chang He to sit, "The prince is not here, I have to go out too, and you still have to take care of the house." If there is a door-to-door New Year's greeting, I bother you to come forward to socialize. ”
"Don't worry, the princess, there are old slaves. Changhe's shriveled face glowed red. The master can still use it, which is the blessing of the slave.

Hu Tian was the number one general under the command of the King of Liao, and his home was also the closest to the palace. It is a five-entry house that occupies a large area.
Not only are the parents alive in the family, but also the grandparents are alive.
In the past, a large family was a family on the edge of Shengcheng. More than ten years ago, Hu Tian fell into an ice cave and was rescued by the passing King of Liao and his party. Since then, he has followed the King of Liao. At that time, they were all young children.
The Hu family is also a proper person, and this house is not small. But most of the area has been reclaimed into fields. The most common thing for the elderly to do is to work in the garden and tend to the crops.
In such a big house, I didn't hire a single subordinate, and I did my own housework. I heard that after Hu Tian made his fortune, many people sent their daughters to his door to make him a child, but he resigned. His daughter-in-law is a girl from a family in a village. Honest and strong. The two of them are doing well, and now they have two boys.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Hu Tian's wife and her daughter-in-law were busy in the kitchen with a large family's New Year's dinner.
"Is the gate open?" asked Hu Tian's father.
"What's the matter?" Hu Tianniang responded, "If it's the New Year, you must have opened the door early in the morning." You can also let the New Year's greetings wait outside the door. ”
The old lady of the Hu family sent Hu Tian's younger brother Hu Di, "Go and see, who is so early." Hurry up and invite people in, it's cold and evil outside. ”
Hu Tian is a big official, and there are people who come to visit the New Year early every year.
Hu Di answered and went out, and then jumped back as if he had been chased by a dog.
"Grandpa, grandma...... Oh no......" Hu Di pointed outside, stammering for a moment.
What's wrong with the New Year?
"You should say it quickly. The old man sat on the kang and watched Hu Di's virtue die in a hurry.
Hu Tian's mother glared at her little son, turned around and walked out, and as soon as she opened the curtain, she saw a woman dressed as a little daughter-in-law, bringing people to the house with a smile.
"Happy New Year!" Wu Niang said hello with a smile.
Hu Di's mother answered twice, thinking in her heart whose new daughter-in-law this was, but said: "It's cold outside, sit inside." "Anyway, it's a guest when you walk in.
It seems that he doesn't know himself. Wu Niang laughed, "Auntie doesn't know me, does she?"
Hu Di's mother laughed twice, "Now that I'm older, my brain is not good." ”
Chun Yu said: "Auntie, this is our princess." It's time for you to greet the New Year. ”
"Who?" Hu Dinian looked at Chun Leek, "Girl, who do you say this is?"
"Princess. It's the princess of Liao. Chun Leek explained again.
"Oops!" Hu Di's mother patted her thigh, looked at Wu Niang and stretched out her hand, and when she came to her, she wiped her hand on her apron again, "Princess...... Hurry inside please. It's hot on the kang, so sit on the kang. ”
As soon as Wu Niang saw it, she knew that this was a proper farmer, she reached out and took her hand, "Okay! ”
Hu Di's mother was pulled by Wu Niang, and immediately squinted and smiled, this princess's little hand is really smooth. No wonder the prince can't look down on anyone's daughter, it turns out that he is waiting to marry this fairy-like girl. Not only is it good-looking, but it is also very kind.
"Dad, mother, look, who's coming?" said that, he pulled Wu Niang into the inner room.
"Who's daughter, she's so handsome. The old lady of the Hu family sat on the kang and waved to Wu Niang with a smile.
"This is the princess Niangniang......" Hu Tian's mother looked at her mother-in-law and explained.
The old lady in the hometown glanced at Wu Niang, hurriedly got off the kang, and was about to kneel in front of Wu Niang, these girls didn't understand anything. What a noble person this princess is, should you be the little daughter-in-law who comes to talk to you about homework?
