When the carriage arrived at the door of the house, he got out of the carriage first, and then helped Zhengrong down. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The home has been built into a standard courtyard style, and it was built because Zheng Rong felt that everyone could take care of each other.

The plaque of the Li Mansion is also hung under the eaves of the gate, the door is a black gate, with golden rivets on the top, and two stone lions squatting on both sides of the gate. Just looking at this gate, Zhengrong has a little affirmation of his ability to do things, and it looks very magnificent!

De Xing took out a key from his sleeve pocket, opened the big copper lock hanging on the door, and then respectfully presented the key to Zheng Rong, Zheng Rong glanced at it, and did not reach out to take it, "Since you handled it single-handedly, then you can keep this key!" ”

He has to respond lightly, but in fact, his heart is already in ecstasy, this master is treating him as a big steward? Even the keys to the house were kept by him, what a lot of trust he had. And Zheng Rong looked at Dexing's unhappy and angry appearance, and he looked up to him a little more in his heart.

Walking into the door, facing the door was a large vat, the tank was filled with water, and there were a few copper plates in the water, and he looked at it in bewilderment, "What does this mean?" ”

De Xing scratched his head and smiled, "Young master, my family is from Shanbei, I saw that our big merchants there put this thing in their homes, saying that it is a cornucopia, don't I also think that you will also make a fortune!" ”

Zheng Rong also listened to the statement for the first time, but it was also novel, "Well, it's good that you can have ideas, but it's not good-looking to be so bare, wait for spring to plant lotus flowers inside." ”

Circumventing this cornucopia, I saw about twenty rooms, the outer walls of which were all painted with white plaster, the roofs of which were uniformly made of blue tiles, and the doors and windows painted with vermilion paint. Zheng Rong opened one of them and looked at the size of the layout, "Well, that's good." ”

Slightly tilted his head and said to Deyan, "This is not a few days before the New Year, we are celebrating the New Year together for the first time, can't let you all make do with it, now it is estimated that it is too late to order furniture, you go to Pingdu to find Zhao Tian, let you buy some county furniture in the city, buy a few more sets, and wait for Chinese New Year's Eve to let him bring Dexi Deli together for the New Year." After taking two steps, as if he suddenly thought of something, he stopped and turned around, "By the way, remember to buy some charcoal pots and silver filigree carbon, the winter here is really cold!" He said with a hand.

......

On the twenty-third day of the lunar month, Bauhinia took Ruhui and Ruyi to the market in Fuyun Village early in the morning to buy incense candles, stove sugar and cakes for the sacrificial stove, and then began to clean up the kitchen non-stop.

After everyone finished dinner and cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, it was slowly getting dark. Since the sacrificial stove can only be sacrificed by men, Li Dai gave incense to the king of the stove on behalf of the Li family and lit wax. Everyone thought that Zheng Rong was still young, and he didn't go to the sacrificial stove to say the past.

After a small year, it is a big year. There are few doors in Pingdu Town, Zheng Rong simply ordered the closure of the door for a holiday, Zhao Tian is also the first time to celebrate the New Year, although he is in his twenties, but he is an orphan, and no one has introduced him to his daughter-in-law, so he is still single. Since following the Cong family, this annual Chinese New Year has been spent in the execution of tasks, and this time coming to Pingdu is the most special task he has performed, which makes him feel at home.

He bought a lot of New Year's goods with Dexideli, and after working for half a year, he earned fifty or sixty taels, rented an ox cart and went to Shenma Village.

......

Dexing rushed into the house excitedly, "Be careful, be careful, be cautious!" Come out and help, Steward Zhao has bought a lot of New Year's goods and come back! ”

When Zheng Rong and his party heard the call, they all ran out, "This Zhao Tian, it's really going to happen, I'm just planning to let him buy some New Year's goods and come back, but he hasn't told him yet, he will do it!" ”

Zhao Tian just heard this when he entered the door, and a smile appeared on his face, "That's natural, if I don't have some eyes, how can I take care of things?" Ha ha. ”

Everyone moved all these things into an empty room in the southeast corner, and then the four maids began to prepare the New Year's goods. They are from poor families, they have all cooked, and after being trained by Ya Po, this meal can be regarded as full of color and flavor.
