Chapter Twenty-Eight: A Little Remaining Wine in the Lamp
It was almost the end of the year, and Meng Yue thought that parting was imminent, and it was the New Year's Festival, so he had to prepare a New Year's gift for the little beauties. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoIn previous years, it was a little sister who sent some handkerchiefs and hairpins to the little sisters, but this year, Meng Yue wanted to give it to the little beauties, at least to send the "style" of the traverser.
Although she shouted "there is so much bacon, how can you eat it all" for a whole year, in fact, it was almost finished by the Mid-Autumn Festival, so this year, Meng Yue still called Xun a lot of bacon.
In addition to bacon, Meng Yue learned from the maritime merchants that there were glaze craftsmen from Fanbang in Haixi, and begged Master Meng to find two glaze craftsmen for her. At this time, the glass was very close to the clarity and transparency of modern glass, and what everyone was seeking after nowadays was the kind of glassware with high transparency and almost no color. Moreover, all wealthier families can use glass windows, but the color and firmness of the bubbles are inferior to all kinds of modern glass.
After communicating with the craftsman, when the first snow fell, Meng Yue got a glass cup like a petal with a natural gradient color. The style given to each little beauty is different, the tender yellow plum, the dark pink begonia, the milky white gradient to the transparent magnolia flower, the moon, the narcissus, the rose, the lotus, not only the color is made the same as the flower itself, the shape of the small cup is also like a blooming flower.
There are a total of twenty-two sets of wine utensils, one set for Meng Yue himself, one set for Chen Huirong who is far away in Huguang Road, and one set for the little beauties. For such a fragile New Year's gift, Meng Yue didn't dare to send it together with bacon and dim sum dry goods cloth, but specially posted and invited the little beauties to enjoy the snow together.
"Ah Meng likes to go out in the winter, and he can jump three feet high with joy when he sees snow and ice ridges. Xu Yan held the stove in her hand and shrunk into a soft scarf.
Yao Qing, like Xu Yan, was wearing the Meng family's new woolen jacket this year, holding a hand warmer in her hand, and wrapped herself thickly: "Because I was afraid that we would not go out to enjoy the snow in winter like her, she specially sent us wool material early." ā
"Wool is warmer. ā
"Yes, my grandmother even changed her mattress with wool. ā
"Amon is here. ā
Meng Yue came early, but he said that he was afraid of the cold, but the little beauties who were panicked because they had been at home for too long came earlier. Mother Feng instructed the maids to set the table, there was a piece of ground by the river that had been fenced with felt in advance, and the ground had been laid with great care in advance, and it was warm when she took off her shoes and stepped on the carpet.
"With such a big battle today, what does Ah Meng want to do, could it be that a young man from someone family will appear here later?"
The little beauty who came didn't know why, and when she heard it, she asked in surprise: "Ah Meng ordered whose boy, my mother also said that she wanted me to ask Ah Meng, do you look down on my eldest brother?" ā
"If you can't look at it, you must not look down on it, you keep your eldest brother for yourself, so Ah Meng won't marry your big brother who is like a wooden fetus and a stone heart." ā
"It's just that you threw away the handkerchief you threw at others, and only ate the snacks wrapped in the handkerchief, and you need to remember it until now. Besides, if you can do it now, you have to thank my eldest brother for having a heart of wood and a stone heart. ā
The little beauties made a mess about this, and the little maids had already gone away, leaving only the maids and mothers-in-law to serve here, and the little beauties just rolled up in a mess, and there was nothing rude. When the little beauties made trouble, the glass wine utensils on the table had been placed, and the little beauties were attracted by the competition.
"Ah Meng is really generous this time, such a wine utensil, I am afraid it is worth a thousand gold. ā
"Master Meng must have negotiated a big business. ā
"This cherry blossom is good, I'm sitting here, and I'm not allowed to rob it. ā
"These wine utensils, the eyes are picky, who grabs it with you, I choose Begonia. ā
The little beauties chose to sit down, and then looked at Meng Yue: "Ah Meng, let's talk about it, there must be something big today." ā
The maids filled the little beauties with wine, and Meng Yue spoke: "After the New Year, my father and I are going to Nanjing." ā
"Your family's business has now gone to Nanjing, no, if you just go to do business, you can go back, you won't put up such a big battle to entertain us. ā
"My father was recommended to Jiangning Weaving as the main thing, and he will go to work next year. ā
The little beauties didn't answer for a while, they were not silent because Master Meng was going to be an official in the blink of an eye, but because Meng Yue was leaving, he was going to settle in Nanjing, and he probably wouldn't come back for three or five years. Even if they come back, they are probably already married at that time, and if they marry closely, they can still see each other one day, and marry far...... Xu will never see each other again for the rest of his life, and can only occasionally pass on the book by phone.
Xu Yan reacted first, raised the wine glass like a flower and said: "I wish Uncle Meng a prosperous journey, and I wish Ah Meng a good life and a good life." ā
Although the little beauties are reluctant, their blessings cannot but be said, so they congratulate unevenly, but they all bring out a bit of joy. After drinking too much, the little beauties began to go crazy, this one hugged Meng Yue's thigh, the other hugged Meng Yue's waist, and drunkenly told Meng Yue not to leave them.
The tears fell so miserably, as if Meng Yue was not a little sister who was going to travel far away, but a lover who was responsible for their life. The howling shouted that the riverside was full of ghosts and wolves, as if there were really wolves in the mountains howling at the moon, and there were also howling, coquettish, coquettish, and threatening......
When the slanting sun and the snow melted into a piece of gold, Meng Yue sent the little beauties to the carriage one by one, and then watched the carriage take them away one by one, and finally only she and a handful of servants and maids were left by the river. She stood by the river, drank the cold wind in her stomach, and drank a little of the remaining wine in the cup: "You have to be good, you are good, I will return it." ā
The next day, the little beauties woke up and knew that Meng Yue had given them the wine set, this set of glass wine sets was very good, and it was very valuable when they looked at it, and no one's maid would quietly put things into the warehouse. The little beauties were crying and laughing while holding the wine utensils, and in the end most of them were going to hate, and when they were about to go to Nanjing, they told them that they didn't know if they would go back when they left, and they really had no conscience.
After that, the little beauties gathered more frequently, until the New Year approached, and they were restrained by the elders of the family to prepare for the New Year's Festival.
When the little beauties stopped, Master Meng received an official letter from Jiangning Weaving, ordering him to arrive in Nanjing to take up his post before early February next year. With the official letter, there are also court clothes and public clothes and sacrificial clothes, each with two sets from head to toe, all of which are thick materials worn in spring and winter, Meng Yue expressed surprise: "Dad, how can Jipin have court clothes, isn't Jipin not necessary to go to court?"
"The court clothes are not only available to the princes, but also to all officials, such as the big ceremony, the celebration of success, the New Year's Day, the winter solstice, the holy day, the edict, the opening of the reading, the table, and the transmission of the system. ā
Meng Yue: Suddenly I'm glad that I didn't wear a man, these clothes, what to wear, what occasion to wear, I have a headache to think about.
Meng Yue felt a headache, but because Master Meng was in the fabric business, he knew a lot about them, so he didn't bother much. In addition, they are all equipped with a set of gifts, and they are placed in different categories when they are placed, so that they will not make mistakes when they are worn.
As the New Year gets closer and closer, Meng Yue gradually has only one slot left in his mind - it is not easy to be an official!
