When I opened my eyes, it was Chinese New Year's Eve.

The taste of the year on Chinese New Year's Eve is bound to be strong and strong, and Gu Mansion is busy from the beginning of waking up. Because there are customs in Tonglu, the God of Wealth cannot use knives and other sharp weapons before the fifth day of the first month, otherwise the year will be unfavorable, so early in the morning, the people of the Gu Mansion will prepare for the next five days of food. In addition, there are also those who prepare couplets and happy money.

"Get up, come and see how this picture of mine is?" Lin Mengyao came out of the bedroom, and Gu Beichen was writing couplets in the courtyard.

"How did you write it yourself?" Lin Mengyao was very surprised, she remembered that the Gu Mansion had purchased the couplets in a unified manner, and she had invited a well-known calligrapher in Tonglu to write calligraphy.

Gu Beichen smiled "hehe" for a while, but didn't answer, took a pen and dipped it in ink, condensed his luck, and wrote a small pair in one go. Lin Mengyao stepped forward and saw that it was written "Tong Yan Wuji" and "Children and grandchildren are full of children".

"What is this for?"

"Naturally, it's posted in our Ningyun Pavilion!" Gu Beichen said with a smile.

Lin Mengyao knew her intentions and covered her mouth and smiled. Gu Beichen handed her the pen and motioned for her to write a pair as well. In the past and present life, it was the first time to write a couplet, of course Lin Mengyao was willing, took the pen, brewed it, and wrote down a pair of words.

"This pen actually has a few flavors of mine!" Gu Beichen praised it, but changed another piece of paper: "However, I like your best brushwork." ”

Best at it?

Naturally, it was a font that had been written for more than ten years in his previous life - Professor Mrs. Ji, and a little bit of Yao Ziwenyun's font.

The corners of Lin Mengyao's eyebrows jumped, and she saw Gu Beichen's smile as always. There is no other meaning, so I am a little relieved, and I write with a pen: Caifeng Dance Silver Hall, red candles depend on each other for a hundred years; The golden dragon travels to the Jade Mansion, and the purple swallow composes a lifetime of joy.

"This couplet will be posted in our house, okay?"

Gu Beichen took the couplet: "Although this is suitable for newlyweds, but with you, that day will not be better than the newlyweds?" This couplet, sticked! ”

When the words fell, Gu Beichen called Ming Xue. Ask him to quickly paste the couplet. That Mingxue has followed Gu Beichen for many years. is also literate, Duan is proud, and he stole fun at the moment, and called Bizhou to go to Lin Mengyao's bedroom together.

This couplet is written. Lin Mengyao sounded a serious matter. Call for green bamboo at the moment. Let her gather the people of a courtyard. Then he distributed the purse that had just been prepared in the house and handed it out.

"It's a tael of silver, which is a thank you for your help and care this year." Lin Mengyao was very polite. All the subordinates were overjoyed when they took the silver, but Lin Mengyao's next words made them even more happy: "This silver is my heart, and when I keep the New Year later, the young master will have another reward." ”

This person's monthly money is less than one or two silver a month, but today Lin Mengyao is one or two, and Gu Beichen still has a reward at night, and now the people are shouting "Master Wanfu", and they bowed down a few times.

"You don't have any pity for the money." Gu Beichen said with a smile.

Lin Mengyao was coquettish and glanced at him: "My husband will make money, I naturally have to spend it, and this silver is worth it." As the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind, and I don't want the whole yard to grind for me, I just think that the silver is enough, and it is good if you don't give me a trick behind my back! ”

These words made Gu Beichen interested: "Do you mean that there are ill-intentioned people in the courtyard?" ”

"If there are really bad intentions, it is not appropriate to have one or two taels of silver. I'm just a small favor to make everyone in this place take their hearts. Lin Mengyao said: "Before coming back from Tonglu, Mr. Guo punished them, although we didn't ask, but the heart of the punished was somewhat unhappy, and now it can be regarded as a slap to reward a sweet date!" ”

Gu Beichen smiled, this Lin Mengyao still understands the principle of combining grace and power, but if she thinks about it, this Lin Mengyao knows more than this, she knows a lot of things: for example, the font with the style of Mrs. Ji just now is not something that ordinary people can write.

When he was in Fuyang, he had seen it once at the chrysanthemum appreciation party, he thought he was wrong, and after returning home, he looked for the words that Mrs. Ji had rewarded when he was in Jinghua, and it really had seven or eight points of charm, but he remembered that Mrs. Ji only accepted one disciple - Yao Menglin, the daughter of Yaofu.

There are many mysteries about his wife, but Gu Beichen is not bothered by this, because in his opinion, every time he approaches Lin Mengyao, it is like lifting a thin veil to get an unexpected surprise, why not? Besides, he rejoiced in her heart, even if there was always a mystery, he still rejoiced in her, so why bother himself? It is better to go with the flow and enjoy the joy of harmony between husband and wife.

After the husband and wife dealt with the affairs of Ningyun Pavilion, they went to the front yard. On Chinese New Year's Eve, the reunion of the whole house is to have a meal together.

Different from previous years, there are two more people in Gu Mansion this year, one is Lin Mengyao, the young lady of Gu Mansion, and she is also the blessed wife recognized by Gu Mansion - she woke up Gu Beichen who was in a coma, assisted Gu Beichen to get the antidote to the plague, and was still pregnant with the birth of a dragon and phoenix at this moment; As for the other one, Wang Qiaolan, originally the Liu family tabooed her with filial piety, but Gu Ruyu asked several times, and the Liu family also complied - no matter what, the filial piety in the family also stems from the husband sacrificing his life to help Gu Beichen and his wife.

"Family reunion is the greatest joy in life, come and come, let's raise a glass and wish every year a bright future!"

Gu Mengde raised his glass, everyone responded to the peace, and the meal was very harmonious. After the meal, it was tea time for the family, because the sun was very good today, and Liu had already instructed his subordinates to prepare refreshments in the Wangchun Pavilion in the rest garden.

"Sister, I moved to a new yard yesterday, can I sleep well?"

went to the rest garden, Gu Ruyu deliberately supported her in order to show that she was happy with Lin Mengyao's sisters. No, Lin Mengyao asked with a smile. Gu Ruyu was shocked in her heart, only to say that Lin Mengyao was not only a matter of the lady of the temple visiting at night, but it was impossible to think about it, this pregnant woman was sleepy, how could she not sleep when she was ugly. So, he responded: "Fortunately, no matter what courtyard is, it's the boundary of my Gu Mansion after all, isn't it?" ”

Lin Mengyao nodded, smiled and said nothing, but she thought in her heart. This morning, she asked Cuizhu to deliberately chat with Cang Yuxuan's maid, and learned that Liu Shenxiang had screamed once at night, and the maid also said that she seemed to see two figures reflected in the window paper.

Gu Ruyu was lying, and she deliberately concealed it, which only showed that there was a ghost in her heart. As for those two shadows, if it is as expected, one of them must be Mrs. Temple!

A group of people walked and enjoyed the scenery, because it was the New Year, in order to appear festive, the red silk specially let people find cold-resistant plants to plant, so there were red flowers and green grass and tall trees in this winter garden. Joyful and happy, he finally walked to the Wangchun Pavilion, but Liu looked at the backyard of Liu's mansion from afar, and then sighed lightly. (To be continued......)
