Chapter 310: Preparing for the New Year
"It's the New Year! Childe, this is your first time spending the New Year outside, right? Wormwood stood aside, looked at Lin Enzhi who was struggling to write next to him a little stupidly, and said softly.
Lin Enzhi looked up and saw that it was her, and frowned tightly. The train of thought had been interrupted, and he couldn't pick it up for a while, so he simply put the pen on the pen holder and said with a slight condemnation: "Why are you up again?" Didn't I tell you that you shouldn't get up until the full moon? What's the matter, just call the other people in the yard......"
But there are a lot of strange things about other people. Wormwood wanted to tell him, but she held back and said softly, "But Childe, the slave hasn't seen you for a few days......
These days, he seems to be always busy, and he doesn't even have time to go to her room to see her. She was in bed and had nothing to do. Although it is a small confinement, when it is raised, it is also necessary to raise it as a big confinement, and the places to be particular about it are not bad at all. Even, because it was caused by medication, it would cause more damage to the mother than if the melon was ripe, so it was necessary to be more careful.
So, she really can't do anything, not even a needlework.
But all of this, she was willing. Gongzi has already promised her that as long as she marries, she will be promoted to aunt immediately. can be an aunt to such an excellent man, what is such a small grievance now?
However, she still couldn't suppress the impulse in her heart, she missed him, and her heart hurt when she thought about him. If she never saw him again, her heart would dry up and wither.
But she didn't notice it, because of her words, Lin Enzhi's already frowning brow was even deeper. He really regretted it, how could he do such a thing?
Moreover, in order to coax her to beat the child, she was also promised to accept her as an aunt in the future......
However, we will talk about it later, but now, how can he get rid of her? He was almost impatient.
"Okay, okay, I'll definitely take a moment out to accompany you in your room every day in the future, you better go back and rest now. If you're tired, it's not good for the future......" Lin Enzhi coaxed her perfunctorily.
But wormwood was so moved that tears were about to flow out, but she immediately wiped it off by herself. Because in the confinement instructions she inquired, there was one clause that said that you can't shed tears in confinement, otherwise, it will hurt your eyes, and when you get older, it will become tearful eyes.
That's not good, she quickly wiped away her tears, and said to Lin Enzhi with a smile: "Childe, the slave is not tired, and she will go back to rest in a while." It's just that the slave maid is the biggest girl in Qiuguiyuan now, and she naturally has more things to take care of. This year, how does Childe plan to spend it? And tomorrow is the New Year, so I have to arrange for someone to clean it......"
Lin Enzhi nodded nonchalantly and said, "You can arrange it...... You don't do it, let the rest of the people do it. As for the Chinese New Year......"
Gu Wang and his wife must have hoped that he could go to their place for the New Year, right? However, the thought of having to face Shi Niang's arrogant and domineering face all day long there made him feel uncomfortable.
"During the Chinese New Year, their surname is Gu, my surname is Lin, and they haven't gotten married yet, what's the point of getting together on the days of family reunion?" Lin Enzhi thought for a moment and continued, "Let's spend it in Qiugui Courtyard." I still have to go to the school, so I'll trouble you to take care of Wormwood more. ”
Wormwood was so excited that her eyes only shone outward, and she agreed to it again and again, and went out happily.
As soon as she walked out, Lin Enzhi in the room had a dark face.
"This way! Wipe it again here! Beside! There's ash next to it, don't you see? "In Yurong Courtyard, the girls of all sizes are already busy, holding backs, brooms and whatnot, cleaning everywhere.
Although it is said that tomorrow is a small year, but with such a big yard, how can it be cleaned up in only one day? Naturally, it is necessary to prepare in advance.
There are also some particularly skillful hands, where the window grilles are cut. Unexpectedly, Zhiting turned out to be the most popular one. Because she can cut a lot of window grilles that have never been seen elsewhere and are particularly beautiful, so for a while, many people came to her, watched her cut, and noisily followed along.
Gu Ming wrote Spring Festival couplets there. According to Lilac's arrangement, all the Spring Festival couplets to be used on the doors and windows of Yurong Courtyard were all written by Gu Ming - there were still a few girls who could read, but their words obviously did not have the confidence to stick to their doors.
Gu Ming copied several pieces of paper from the library and asked the little girls to pick them by themselves. The four girls with the word "Mei" are now four people living in one room. The four of them each have their favorite auspicious Spring Festival couplets, but only one of them can be selected, so the four of them discussed for a long time, but they have not been able to get a happy couplet.
Shanqin and Jin Ju are in the same room, but Jin Ju has always been very talkative, and it is the same now. She didn't pick at all, and directly agreed with the one Shanqin chose.
Lilac took a lot of thought and carefully chose one of her favorites.
There is also a small storehouse to be pasted, the door of the yard is also to be pasted, and for the sake of auspiciousness, the cabinet should also be pasted, and the door of the inner house should also be pasted......
The window grilles here have been cut, the cleaning over there has been cleaned up, and the window paper that had been pasted a few months ago has been removed and ready to be replaced with new window paper.
"Ah, what kind of paper is this, it's so easy to touch. That's enough for drawing, right? Lamei suddenly cried out in surprise.
Her words caused a burst of laughter.
"It's called Korean paper, and it's made for pasting windows. It's not a good drawing. Lilac told her with a smile.
"Korean paper, it's foreign paper, no wonder it's so good." Lamei said with a sigh. Although it was the first time she had seen this kind of paper, she had heard of it for a long time, and she knew that this kind of window paper was the best.
Sticking to the edge of the window, it is bright and sturdy.
"Do all the houses use this kind of Korean paper to paste the windows?" Lamei is new here, and this is the first time she has celebrated the New Year in Gu's mansion, so she doesn't understand much and quietly asks Lilac.
Lilac shook her head: "Only a few main courtyards will give Korean paper." The rest of the yards, just like the local imitation, look similar, but in fact they are much worse and not strong. ”
Often before the end of the year, it will be blown by the wind, so I have to find some ordinary white paper to paste, which is very ugly and ugly.
I just don't know what kind of paper is being distributed in the house today? Nor did they inquire.
"Did they send the goryeo paper to Aunt Dong?" Gu Ming was writing couplets, and suddenly looked up and asked Lilac.
She has already handed over all these things to Lilac, and rarely directs them. Now it's just a matter of asking.
"Fourteen Niang, rest assured, the slave maid was sent early this morning. In addition to Aunt Dong, Eleventh Niang, Fifteenth Niang and Aunt He were all sent. Lilac replied.
Very good, very good. Gu Ming nodded and continued to write the couplet.
This side is happy, lively, and harmonious, but I don't know that now the lady's courtyard has turned the world upside down.
