Such a big festival, even Lin Yu, who has never gotten up early, got up from bed early, put on a thick dress and opened the curtains, although the fog is not clear, but it is indeed a white expanse. It happened that Pearl came in with washing water, Lin Yu turned her head and asked her, "It snowed last night?" ”

"It started last night, and it's still raining this morning, and it's raining so hard that there's a thick layer of snow on the ground." Pearl smiled, "Miss Qingqing asked me to tell you, don't go to the kitchen for the time being, it's not too late for them to clear the snow." ”

Lin Yu nodded, and Pearl helped her comb her beautiful hair and put on a few pieces of valuable jewelry. Lin Yu has been mixing for so long in ancient times, and she can finally comb some simple hairstyles, but she still can't do it with such a complex and gorgeous shape as a pearl comb. Of course, this kind of styling is also very inconvenient, and those real money are also quite heavy, and Lin Yu is very nostalgic for modern short hair.

The ancients generally began to prepare for the New Year from the beginning of the lunar month, and after the small year, Lin Yu also began to seriously buy some seasonal food, and fried four kinds of meatballs alone, radish balls, tofu balls, fish balls, meatballs, and fried crispy meat and fish segments, and made some KFC-style fried chicken, but that did not do much, and the whole family did not have much left after eating a meal. Yin Susu also sent people to send a lot of mountain goods and seafood that were difficult to buy with money in ancient times, and even two of them Lin Yu had never seen, I don't know if Lu Dao is not eaten by modern people, or it has gradually become extinct with the passage of time.

Not only Lin Yu is good at cooking, but Sister-in-law Sun's craftsmanship is also excellent, steaming, stir-frying, frying, stewing and everything, cooking is very neat and clean, the pasta is especially good, and the new noodles and steamed buns kneaded can be eaten directly by Lin Yu without side dishes. There will also be thirty or forty kinds of steamed dumplings.

Therefore, this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is very rich, Lin Yu and Qingqing have a table, although there are few people but there are many types of dishes, a small hot pot, a large plate of fried goods, and a plate of dumplings. Meat and vegetarian dumplings with six kinds of fillings. Six of each. The dishes include West Lake vinegar fish, stewed chicken with mountain mushrooms, kelp pork ribs, and crystal elbow. White chopped chicken, old vinegar jellyfish head, assorted tofu pot. Mutton in clear water, as well as vegetarian dishes such as stewed eggs with sea rice, and cabbage in soup. Then the tea is oolong, the wine is plum blossom wine, and the dessert is candied eight-treasure rice. The rest of the family sat around a large round table, on which were the same dishes, but much larger.

After asking someone to light the firecrackers, Lin Yu made a toast, and the next person also came up to toast. Then it was officially eaten, and the flower hall was still burning with spices that help digestion and strengthen the spleen and stomach. It is a warm fragrance specially matched by Qingqing, which will not feel strange when mixed with the aroma of the meal, but gradually disappear in the fragrance of the meal, but makes people feel that the meal is more attractive.

Because there are basically no rules at home, the food is extremely lively, a few people are happy to eat, and they start to draw fists, but I didn't expect that the sister-in-law who has always been silent turned out to be a master of boxing, and after a while, a few maids drank until their cheeks were slightly red. But after all, it's a part-time job.,I don't dare to really drink too much.,Punish the loser for reciting poems.,This group of people doesn't know a few words except for pearls.,The amount of pearl wine is not good.,Don't play this.,So several people went to Pearl for help.。 Xuemei and Xuelan were playing with their sister-in-law's daughter, Xiao Guihua, and they were also very happy.

Qingqing looked at the bustle in the hall, although she didn't participate much, she was in a good mood, and turned her head and was about to talk to Lin Yu, when she saw Lin Yu slightly distracted, and asked a little strangely. "What are you thinking? So distracted. ”

"Nothing." Lin Yu just remembered his parents and relatives, after all, he couldn't let go. But no one in this world can say these words, sighed in his heart, and said to Qingqing, "I'm just thinking that so many things have happened this year, but it can be regarded as a toss-up, I hope that next year will be smooth and everything will go well." ”

"Aren't our days getting better and better?" Qingqing thought about the previous days of panic and even despair, and was also very emotional, "Think about those days, and then look at the weather now." ”

Lin Yu also cleaned up his mood and began to plan for the future, "The Marquis of Zhenyuan Mansion sent people to say that they had removed all the manpower and stores, and when the time comes, you will open a shop specializing in spices, and you will definitely be able to make money with your skills, well, just take the high-end route and slaughter those rich people." As for me, even if I settle the accounts, collect the field rent, and then see if the big shop is good to rent out, if I don't rent out the house, I can do some business on my own, it's a two-story storefront. ”

"I asked Mrs. Ren to inquire, there are such honest servants who have been stewards and treasurers to buy a family, and there are many officials who have committed crimes whose families have been sold."

Lin Yu also agreed, and made a few suggestions, the two of them talked about housework while having a few drinks, and a few maids also came to toast from time to time, and they didn't think that the time was the second watch.

After cleaning up the meal, Pearl helped Sister-in-law Sun set up another table of dim sum, most of these are Lin Yu's craftsmanship, Sister-in-law Sun not only doesn't know Western-style dim sum, but also can't make Chinese-style dim sum. A few girls who drank a little too much also repacked their clothes and came up, because they were going to pay for the New Year. Each person has a red purse, and the rough girl and the twins are filled with one or two silver bills, and the grandsister-in-law and the pearl are two taels of silver. Accompanied by the words of encouragement from Lin Yu and Qingqing, the ancients were not very common for modern entrepreneurs to buy people's hearts, and they were all very grateful and excited.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, in addition to sending pressure money and setting off firecrackers to paste the Spring Festival, according to the rules, it is necessary to keep the New Year, but the sad thing in ancient times is that you don't even have to watch the Spring Festival Gala. Qingqing can still do research on spice recipes, Lin Yu bored flipping through a travelogue, brushing it quickly over, simply holding a homemade charcoal pen on the paper to Qingqing immersed in spice blending to draw a white sketch of a small elephant, and when Qingqing noticed it, Lin Yu was almost finished.

After finishing the last part, sticking out his tongue, Lin Yu stuffed the painting to Qingqing, "You must put it away well, I don't want to paint portraits of others." ”

Qingqing took it and took a look, it was much better than she imagined, sketching with a brush, and she had seven or eight points of imagination, but the eyebrows and eyes were very well drawn, and she couldn't help laughing, "I remember that Mrs. Lin sent someone to teach you to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the teacher said that you have no talent, but now it seems that the master has no eyes." ”

The speaker has no intention, the listener has no intention, Lin Yu chuckled in her heart, she has adapted well since she was reborn, but she is not Lin Ruoyu after all. Lin Ruoyu who will not will, and she who will probably not. Qingqing trusted herself very much for various reasons, so she didn't think much about it, but others were different, Lin Yu made up her mind to keep a low profile in the future. Don't just show off your talents.

Qingqingle, who didn't think much about it, put the painting away. Lin Yu was shocked for a long time before he relieved himself and felt lucky. If Lin Ruoyu had the kind of Wen Qingqing who was particularly loyal and never gave up, instead of coming together with him halfway. You have to show your stuff.

The first day of the Lunar New Year was extremely joyful, and everyone was wearing new clothes early in the morning, and Lin Yu was no exception. I made a beautiful costume, and I felt very good about myself after wearing it. It's just a bit of a pity that I don't have a camera now, so I can't save it. Qingqing has always been delicate and elegant. I've rarely worn bright clothes, and now I look a little unaccustomed to wearing bright dresses, but I still look good.

Everyone else in the house also changed their clothes, and then came together to pay New Year's greetings to Lin Yu, and then drank jujube tea, planted peach branches, and ate oranges and grapefruits. Speaking auspicious words to please a good fortune, it is another day of eating and drinking.

Since the second day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Yu has taken turns to give several maids a holiday. Let them go back to see their relatives, and if they don't want to go, they can go shopping. Waiting until the third day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Yu and Qingqing discussed going to pay New Year's greetings to Yin Susu, but Yin Susu may not be in Beijing and still have to hand over a post in Lanyuan.

As for Mrs. Lin, Lin Yu did not plan to go to pay New Year's greetings. When I went to see the little belly chicken intestine guy of Zhenyuan Hou, he must be looking for something, and Mrs. Lin is probably still angry. And what if she sees Zhang Wan'er, or Zhang Wan'er makes a special trip to take a photo, what does Lin Yu plan to do? Really salute her and call her cousin-in-law? Although he didn't plan to make a revenge for his concubine, Lin Yu never wanted to bow his head to her.

However, it is estimated that the post has not yet been delivered to Lan Yuan, and the distinguished guest has come to the door. Yin Susu was wearing a thick fox fur, and with a smile on her face, she brought a group of maiden daughters-in-law to pay New Year's greetings, which made Lin Yu simply flattered. How can you not be surprised, Yin Susu is twenty-three or four this year, and Lin Yu's new identity is less than 16 years old. In terms of identity, although everyone is considered to be in the lower court, and there are no relatives left, Yin Susu is a real famous family, and his father is not only a high-ranking official, but also a contemporary literary hero. A dignified county lord saw Yin Susu, just like a mouse saw a cat. And Lin Yu is the daughter of the late seven-rank petty official, and Mrs. Lin has already abandoned her. In terms of money, it can't be compared with others, the price of land has risen recently, Lin Yu is now barely worth more than 60,000 taels, and one hundred and one hectares of land is considered to be a good land and a white hectare, which is considered rich. But the next business under the name of Yin Susu is no less than hundreds of thousands of taels.

Since the New Year's greetings are from the younger generations to the elders, the high status is like the low status, and it is not for nothing that they deign to come, and most of them have a request. Therefore, in the face of Yin Susu's arrival, Lin Yu was a little apprehensive, but thinking about Yin Susu after all, he was a smart person, and his heart was really good, even if he really wanted something, he would definitely be measured. Not to mention the kindness of others, Lin Yu and her have gotten along well several times, as long as they can do it, they are still very willing to help.

After seeing each other, Lin Yu invited Yin Susu to take a seat, and then took the time to look at Qingqing, Qingqing personally went to pour the tea, and a few people chatted for a while, Lin Yu was about to say that Yin Susu should be ready to say what he meant, but he didn't expect the other party to make any requests.

"In addition to New Year's greetings, I actually have one more thing this time, I want to invite you and Qingqing to live in my garden for a few days and spend the Lantern Festival together, so as not to be too lonely."

"We were going to go to the city to see the lanterns." Lin Yu was taken aback a little, and politely refused, "I have been living in the Hou Mansion, I really yearn to go to the city to watch the lanterns, I heard that there are many beautiful lights, and the palace also pays for fireworks and sings on the front door stage." ”

"What's so hard about that? I thought Xiaoyu was going to say something. Yin Susu smiled, "When the day comes, let's go together." ”

Lin Yu thought about it and agreed, "Then I'm going to bother Sister Su Su for a few days." ”

Yin Susu seems to be intentionally or unintentionally getting closer to Lin Yu, and Lin Yu thinks about it, there is really no need to reject people thousands of miles away. Yin Su is a good person, maybe there are some city governments, but who doesn't have a little mind about dealing with people? Now that he has fallen out with the Hou Mansion, it is actually not bad to be able to maintain a relatively close relationship with Yin Susu. (To be continued.)
