Chapter 54: New Year's Greetings

Zining and Wen'er chatted while eating, and after two glasses of rice wine, they began to get confused, and their cheeks were red from the heat around the fire. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Zining was fluttering all over, although she was a little distressed in her heart, but when the wine came up, she forgot everything, chatted with Wen'er all over the world, chatted about the trivial things before entering the palace, chatted about the future palace life, thanked her aunt together, cursed Luo Yu together, remembered the New Year's clothes, and remembered tomorrow's rewards......

After sitting like this until Zi Shi, Wen'er couldn't help it anymore, and fell asleep with her eyes on her jaw leaning on Zi Ning.

After drinking, Zining had something on his mind, and he sat alone, thinking more and more in his head. There was no noise from Wen'er, only the crackling of the charcoal fire. At the end of the day, a firecracker was finally set off in the palace, and after the noise was the silence of the room.

Thinking of the past, the days in prison are still vivid, she will never forget the tragic situation of her mother, and the eyes of the five princes tonight make her at a loss. When the love is sad, the tears begin to gather, I don't know if it is the rice wine or she has always been sentimental, a person at midnight at the end of the year, crying a lot, and I don't know how to fall asleep in the end.

Faintly hearing a crackling sound outside, Zi Ning woke up in the soreness of her waist and legs, she only felt cold hands and feet, and there was a slight chill in the air. I saw her and Wen'er lying horizontally and vertically, Wen'er's hands and feet were half of her body, and the two of them only had a blanket wrapped last night, the fire in the charcoal pot had already been extinguished, and the room was so cold that people shivered.

Zi Ning carefully pulled out her pressed hand, but in the end she still woke Wen'er up, Wen'er rubbed her eyes, and before she opened her eyelids, she wondered where she was, "What time is it?" ”

Zi Ning got up, and last night's food cup was a mess, with only some wine and some saltwater peanuts left. They haven't been so presumptuous for a long time, but fortunately, they don't have to be on an errand today, and they are not afraid of their aunt's blame.

"I just set off firecrackers, it should be Mao, today's first day of the Lunar New Year, it is the time for hundreds of civil and military officials to go to the Qianqing Palace to congratulate and kowtow to the saint to worship the New Year." Zi Ning turned hot water, covered his face, and wiped his body again, so that his body felt better, "You can hurry up, my aunt wants to pay New Year's greetings, and those stewards and eunuchs are waiting for us to kowtow."

Wen'er turned over, cleaned up the messy house, and complained while cleaning up: "The Internal Affairs Office finally rewarded some silver, and there are not many months of silver saved in a year, so it is just a matter of honoring my aunt, this silver has not been covered yet, but I have to stuff silver for those eunuchs, and see that they eat and drink every day, and this oil and water are all scraped off by us." ”

"Don't complain, scatter the silver to eliminate the disaster, those stewards and eunuchs are small-minded, if you have less filial piety, he doesn't say it, he doesn't say it, he may give you how many stumbling blocks on weekdays, if you feel sorry for the silver, let's think about something else."

"What kind of livelihood can this cooncloth bureau make in such a claustrophobic place." Wen'er thought that she couldn't even finish a day's work, and she didn't have any skills, except for receiving the monthly allowance, there was nowhere to get the money.

In addition to the monthly silver, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will distribute oil clothes and pancreas, and sometimes the master can also reward gold and silver jewelry. They don't have any extra silver taels on them at all, they have no benefits in their hands, and it is difficult to entrust people to do things, and it is really difficult to move an inch in this palace.

"The way is thought up by people, and the big living people can be suffocated to death by silver. According to me, you will take out the money and be filial and obedient, but usually they don't come to find trouble, and we slowly think of a way out. ”

"I will definitely give this filial piety silver," Wen'er sighed helplessly, "I really didn't see the way out you said." ”

Wen'er stuck out her tongue, quite helpless, which made Zi Ning Wan'er laugh and think about it.

After tidying up the house and tidying up themselves, the two of them went out of the house together, and went to their aunt's room with breakfast to kowtow.

As soon as they entered the house, Luo Yu and the others had already arrived at Qi to finish their heads, and were drinking the ingots tea that Aunt Qiao had prepared a long time ago.

Luo Yu saw the two of them coming in, and just wanted to open her mouth to pick and pick thorns, but Zi Ning grabbed the words first, she pulled Wen'er to kneel down on the bunk, and snorted three times in a proper manner: "Auntie's house is lively, we also came to pay New Year's greetings to my aunt, I wish my aunt good health and smooth and worry-free." ”

As long as you come before breakfast, it's not too late, some people are not happy, but they are helpless, seeing that my aunt is in a good mood today, and her face is ruddy and smiling, Luo Yu does not dare to speak out again to spoil the atmosphere even if she is unwilling.

"Let's all get up," Aunt Qiao nodded, and also brought two cups of tea and handed them over: After drinking this ingots tea, you will have a safe and secure year, no illness and no disaster, and you will work hard for your master in the future, and never forget the kindness of the saints." ”

"Aunt Xie appreciates tea!" Zi Ning and Wen Er snorted again, and handed over the red envelope of the red paper bag, there was some money in it, and the little girl didn't have much money, these are just meanings, this is also an unwritten rule in the palace. The red envelope was placed in the tray, and they slowly got up, stretched out their hands to take the tea cup and retreated to the side, and then listened to Aunt Qiao's lectures and preaching at the beginning of the new year, saying nothing more than being loyal to the master, thanksgiving to Dade, etc., every year.

After everyone finished paying New Year's greetings to Aunt Qiao, the two eunuchs came to visit the door, and everyone knew the purpose of coming.

When the eunuch walked to Zi Ning's house, they had already prepared, and before the steward door opened, Zi Ning and the two stepped forward with a smile on their faces: "My father-in-law appreciated his face, and he came to see us little girls for the New Year, and it was cold outside, so he hurried into the house to sit down. ”

"You don't have to sit down, but on the first day of the new year, I was ordered by the boss to come and see. Today, the saint and the queen are going out of the palace to the Huangling Mountain to pay respects, although you have a holiday, you must not slack off, don't give me any moths. ”

"Urge my father-in-law to rest assured, we will not trouble you, just work hard for my father-in-law to go, this little money to buy some wine for the two fathers-in-law, it is also our little heart, I hope my father-in-law will not dislike it."

Wen'er took out the two silver coins she had wrapped up, nodded and handed them over.

"You are also sensible and filial," the two of them saw the silver money in the red envelope, and their attitudes became polite, and they took the things and stuffed them into their sleeves: In the future, you must do things well, don't let down the grace of the Holy Emperor. The rest is fine, you don't come out to send it, it's cold outside, let's go to another room to have a look. ”

Zining and Wen'er hurriedly said, and the father-in-law walked slowly.

Wen'er closed the door and made a reflexive grimace, her eyes turned white, causing Zining to giggle. Sending a money and begging others to ask for it, and what he said was high-sounding, he kept saying official words, and he wore hypocrisy, which was what the eunuchs in the palace could do.
