The first is to ask for pink...... The upper room in the inner courtyard of Lian Man'er's new house is sitting in the north and facing south, one bright and four dark, a total of five. In this room, there is a partition in the middle of the north-south direction. On both sides of the entrance door are coal stoves, and on the north side of the partition are storage spaces, with basin racks, storage racks, etc. The north gate, above the back door, is a rectangular wooden structure in the shape of a house.

This wooden structure also sits north and faces south, with simple and generous lacquer carvings on the walls, and two doors on the front. Now the two doors are open, and Lian Shouxin can see the inside of the hut by following Lian Man'er's fingers.

In the middle of it is a piece of yellow satin shining with dazzling golden light, and on top is the imperial archway and gold, commending the holy decree of Lian Man'er's family.

On the ground below the slanted of the hut, chapter 454 is set up to welcome the new, and an offering table is placed, and in the center of the incense burner is inserted with fine sandalwood, which is burning in a curling manner, and in addition to the offering table, there are all kinds of fruits and snacks.

Lian Shouxin was a little confused, and since he invited the holy decree in, he made offerings here. Now that it is a great year, it is natural to burn incense and make offerings before the holy decree. However, this is not the same thing as worshipping ancestors.

"Dad, in the future, our family will celebrate the New Year, and if we want to worship, we will worship the holy decree." Of course, Lian Man'er knew Lian Shouxin's thoughts, so she said with a smile.

"Dad, you have to listen to Xiao Qi read to you every day, and you have also listened to a lot of what Mr. Lu said. …… Father and son, this monarch and minister are in front. Loyalty and filial piety, this word of loyalty is also placed in front. Dad, don't you talk every day, saying that the emperor's grace is mighty, don't you know how to repay it? ”

"My grandfather took the ranking of the grandfather and grandmother to Taicang, and at the third and fourth festivals of this year, my uncle is here, and I am afraid that there is a lack of offerings."

"Our family's worship and worship of the Holy Decree is the most serious and deserved." Lian Man'er told Lian Shouxin.

There are some plans, but Lian Man'er doesn't plan to tell Lian Shouxin now.

In the cemetery of Nanshan, the ancestors of the Lian family. There are only two of the old man's father, Chapter 454, farewell to the old and welcome the new, and his mother. In the upward trace. Not only are there no graves, but even the names are not known. Of course, this does not rule out that Lian Shouren and Lian Jizu know. However, Lian Man'er is convinced, even Shouxin doesn't know, and Wulang and Xiaoqi don't know.

Unless it is a large family with some inheritance and exquisiteness, the average farmer has not even produced a scholar. Genealogy, genealogy and the like, not to mention.

Don't look at how the old man Lian pays attention to the rules and how he values reading, he hopes that his eldest son can get ahead through the imperial examination and glorify his ancestors. The Lian family does not have its own genealogy and genealogy.

Even if because Lian Shouren finally became an official, the Lian family wants to repair the family tree and family tree, what position can the Lian Man'er family that has been separated be ranked, and why do they need to arrange a position.

If they want to repair the genealogy and genealogy, they should also repair it themselves. And for this major event, Lian Man'er did not pin her hopes on Lian Shouxin. In her plan, this should be done by Gorou and Xiaoqi.

After a hundred years of Lian Shouxin and the Zhang family, Wulang and Xiaoqi built an ancestral hall and repaired the family tree, and Lian Shouxin and the Zhang family were the ancestors of their clan and family.

They started from scratch, and they had many grievances and incompatible with the upper room, which is reasonable and appropriate.

Lian Man'er only talked to Gorou in private about this idea, and Gorou nodded silently at that time, and then went to study even harder.

Later. Whether or not to talk to Lian Shouxin about this plan is a matter for the future. Now, as long as the New Year's Festival is established, the holy decree and the archway can be established, which is the foundation of their family's fortune.

"Ah......" even kept his word, and he didn't say anything for a while.

"Dad, we're all ready for tomorrow's paper money or something." Lian Man'er said again.

There are no offerings at home, no worship, but they go to the grave and burn paper during the New Year's Festival. This Lian Man'er is not against it.

Even the old man's family is in Taicang. Don't look at the fact that even Jizu came to collect rent in the late autumn, but he didn't plan to come back to go to the grave and burn paper during the New Year. only told Lian Shouxin and Lian Shouli to take Gorou and Xiaoqi with him in the letter.

"Dad, let's do it." Gorou walked in from outside and said.

“…… That's fine. Lian Shouxin nodded.

Lian Man'er and Gorou exchanged a look, and they were secretly happy in their hearts...... When night falls, red lanterns are lit at the gate of Lian's house and on both sides of the Imperial Archway. Red lanterns were also hung in the main hall of the front yard, the study, and the door of Mr. Lu's house, and in the inner courtyard, in addition to the entrance of the upper room, lanterns were also hung next to each pillar on the verandah on both sides.

According to custom, on Chinese New Year's Eve, a lantern is left to illuminate small consumption, so even the poorest families must leave at least one lamp for the night.

This year, all the courtyards, including the early shop, also hung red lanterns in front of the door, of which the number of lanterns was the largest in the inner courtyard.

Lian Man'er likes the festive red of red lanterns and the warm light of cold nights.

As soon as the night fell, the sound of firecrackers outside came and went, and Gorou and Xiaoqi also ran out from time to time to set off a whip or a few firecrackers. When he arrived, Zhang took Lian Zhi'er and Lian Man'er to get busy again.

They want to make dumplings.

The custom here in Liaodong Province is that on Chinese New Year's Eve, the Tuan New Year meal is eaten at noon, and dumplings are eaten at night during the New Year's celebration. This dumpling is different from the usual dumplings, and it must be wrapped in the shape of an ingot, in order to make a good omen. In the filling of dumplings, copper coins can also be wrapped, and the people who eat them are the ones who have special luck next year.

Zhang's rolling skin, even vines and branches, today's dumpling filling is beef, a little pork is added to it, no vegetables are put in, only a variety of seasonings and chopped fine green onions. This is what they commonly call a meatball-filled dumpling here.

The dumplings were wrapped, and the big bone broth prepared in the iron pot in the outhouse was also boiling, so Zhang held the dumplings with a curtain and went out to make dumplings.

Dumplings on Chinese New Year's Eve are generally boiled dumplings, not steamed dumplings that are commonly eaten. When there was no separation before, the dumplings on Chinese New Year's Eve were all steamed dumplings, not because the people in the family did not know this custom, but because of Zhou's personal preferences. Zhou doesn't like to cook dumplings, and in her words, she hates cooking dumplings as "watery soup".

Although Lian Man'er's family was separated last year, but living in the old mansion, they still had to worry about Zhou's face, such as they ate fish, and they had to be scolded by Zhou's Mulberry, in order to seek tranquility in Chinese New Year's Eve. Zhang's also followed the rules of the upper room. Make steamed dumplings.

Now, the Zhang family is the head mother of the family, and she no longer needs to look at anyone's face, she asked for the opinions of the family before deciding to eat boiled dumplings for this meal.

Lian Man'er actually prefers steamed dumplings in her selfish heart, but she doesn't hate boiled dumplings either. Just this one, of course, is better according to custom.

Zhang's was cooking dumplings, and Lian Man'er and Lian Zhi'er adjusted the sauce plate and waited for the dumplings to be cooked. Put the dumplings on the plate, together with the sauce plate and a few side dishes, a total of two big food boxes, Lian Man'er carried a food box of dishes and chopsticks, and the mother and the three children went to the front yard.

In the main hall of the front yard, even Shouxin, Wulang and Xiaoqi accompanied Mr. Lu to keep the New Year.

Seeing them coming, Lian Shouxin, Wulang and Xiaoqi hurriedly put aside the melons and fruits on the kang table. Zhang took out dumplings, sauce plates and side dishes from the food box, and even Man'er set the dishes and chopsticks, and the family sat around the table and began to eat dumplings.

Chubby ingots dumplings, not big, open your mouth wide, you can eat one in one bite. When Mr. Lu ate the third one, he ate a silver horn from the filling.

"Congratulations to Mr. Lu, next year will be smooth sailing and everything will be fine." Everyone smiled and said hello to Mr. Lu.

Mr. Lu knows. This must have been deliberately put by Lian Man'er who sandwiched dumplings for him just now. He was very happy when he was pleased.

Then, Xiao Qi also ate the silver horn, followed by Wulang, and after a while, the big guys ate it, and naturally everyone was happy.

After eating dumplings on Chinese New Year's Eve, there is one more important thing to do before waiting for the New Year to arrive.

Lian Man'er and Lian Zhi'er are two sisters. I went back to the inner courtyard. He went to his own house and carried all the new clothes he had prepared in a large wooden barrel. Then he brought all the things he needed to wash up, and went out of the house, and walked along the verandah, from the moon cave gate on the west side, and entered the cross-courtyard on the west side.

Descending the steps, I followed the bluestone path to the back of a shadow wall, went up two more stone steps, opened the door, and walked in.

One of the indispensable items to get rid of the old and welcome the new is naturally bathing.

As soon as I entered the bathroom door, I turned through a small partition, and there was hot air on my face.

This bathroom has a shadow wall on the outside and a partition on the door inside, which is set up for warmth in winter and privacy in the bathroom. In this bathroom, there are also inside and outside, and there is also a partition in the middle, which is naturally a flush toilet, and this outside is the bathroom. There are two large wooden tubs in the bathroom, and there are half-height wooden shelves in the tub room. In addition, there is a large water tank with a short round belly, as well as a stove.

The stove was blazing, and there was a kettle on it, and Zhang was sitting next to the stove, looking at the fire.

"The water is poured for you, wash it while it's hot." When Zhang saw the two girls coming in, he hurriedly greeted him with a smile.

"Hey." Lian Zhi'er and Lian Man'er agreed, and walked to the bathtub.

The water in the tub was still steaming, and Lian Man'er reached into his hand, feeling hot, so he hurriedly took off his clothes and put them on the wooden shelf next to him, and then he entered the tub and immersed his whole body and chin in the water.

Because of the day's fire burning in the kitchen on the other side of the fire wall opposite, and the heat of the stove next to it, the bathroom can almost be said to be warm as spring, and in the hot water that is a few degrees warmer than the skin, what could be more comfortable than such a hot bath in the cold winter.

"It's so comfortable." Lian Man'er breathed a sigh of relief and said...... Send one watch first, and there will be two changes later, ask for pink......
