Chapter 254: New Year's Pass
Before leaving Kangcheng, Liu Yue personally prepared generous gifts to the prefects' wives in various cities, and personally visited them one by one, which was regarded as greeting the prefect's wives in various places, hoping that they could take care of Yueniang's embroidery village.
Over the years, Liu Yue has been on a good relationship with those official wives, in addition to giving gifts, Liu Yue will also give some small things, such as making a dress for which wife.
Therefore, Liu Yue's gift this time was very smooth, but it took more than half a month for more than a dozen prefect wives to deliver it at once, and when Liu Yue returned to Cannes, the family officially entered the New Year's Pass.
Zhang thought that his daughter and son would leave home after the New Year, so this year must be more abundant, so he took the maids to the street to buy things every day.
Or maybe you're busy making dry goods, and you can't eat your own food in the capital, so it's better to make more dry goods with you. Liu Yue knew that her mother was not allowed to do something, and her mother was afraid that she was even more worried, because her younger brother had never left home.
This time, I went to the capital, and I was in order to catch the exam, if I couldn't go along, at least I had to prepare something for the children! So Liu Yue didn't object at all, just Liu Niang was doing chicken jerky and helping ducks.
Liu Zhu watched Zhang's busyness, and blamed Zhang's for doing too much, saying that he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to finish eating for a year. And it takes five or six days to go to the capital, where can I bring so many things, so that the Zhang family stops and doesn't toss anymore.
Liu Yue looked at the dried meat in the courtyard, smelled the strange fragrance, and didn't bother her father and mother to quarrel. Is it good for this man to be noisy when he is old?
Otherwise, the two of them have nothing to say all day long, they used to worry about their livelihood, but now they don't have to worry about anything, so they can't find something to worry about these two old people.
Liu Yue's family had to go to the countryside for the New Year's dinner as usual, and the village chief and uncle had already come to invite her, so Liu Yue asked her mother to bring more things back. You can't make a few cousins uncomfortable, this ceremony is not strange to many people!
As soon as the village chief's uncle heard that Liu Cheng had to go to the capital for the New Year, he was overjoyed and said that Liujia Village was also going to be the champion. Liu Zhu was also happy, but he felt that Liu Cheng was too young, and he couldn't talk too much, so it was not okay to put pressure on the child.
So when I talked to the village chief and uncle again, I was obviously a little more modest: "I didn't ask Cheng'er for high school when I went to Beijing to take the exam this time, mainly because I wanted Cheng'er to see and learn, Cheng'er is young, where can he bear the burden." It will take a few more years to go to high school, and he himself will be angry, and then we can rest assured. ”
Liu Cheng is very grateful to his father for saving face for himself, to be honest, although he is full of confidence in entering Beijing to take the exam this time, there are so many students in the world.
Besides, he is not very old, and he is considered small among the students, so whether it is knowledge or practical experience, he must not be able to compare with other students.
Here in Cannes, my studies are good, but I can't look at the world. Back then, Brother Gu didn't pass the first exam, he also went to the ground once, and he only went to high school the second time.
Liu Cheng has always regarded Brother Gu as his learning goal, so although he is looking forward to this exam, he has no intention of winning it once. But looking at the happy appearance of the village chief's uncle, Liu Cheng is young and good-looking, and he really can't say anything about pouring cold water.
How do you speak? Unexpectedly, his father helped him get through, and Liu Cheng was very grateful that his father didn't put pressure on him.
Village Chief Liu is an understanding person, so he naturally knows that although Liu Zhu's family expects Liu Cheng, they are also rational and do not put too much pressure on Liu Cheng. That's right, at least no matter whether the child is in or not, he won't feel shameless in facing his relatives.
Originally, I couldn't rush to study, how many people didn't pass the exam all their lives, and it was rare for Liu Cheng to be outstanding in the academy at a young age. Thinking about high school at such a young age, it's really embarrassing for him.
Village Chief Liu patted Liu Cheng on the shoulder, very firm: "Cheng'er, rest assured Uncle believes that you will be able to do it, it is good to have more knowledge and knowledge, Gu Gongzi in the city has also taken several exams to get in."
Learning more is also more solid, this is like planting in our fields, if you don't wait for a few more years with good bottom fertilizer, where can you bear good fruits. ”
Liu Cheng smiled at the uncle honestly: "Uncle, I understand, I will definitely put down the fat well, and wait until the day when the fruit will bear fruit in the future." ”
The men at the table all laughed, but it's not like farming, you have to be solid, this reading can't be fake!
The two cousins farm in the village, so they have a lot of respect for the readers, and they are also looking forward to Liu Chengzhen's high school, and then their children can have a way out. You can't farm the land for your children and grandchildren.
If there is a high school in Liujia Village, at least it can also show that this water and soil can also raise people, not just mud eggs. The grandchildren of the village chief's uncle have all entered the village school, and now they are all proud of Liu Cheng, an uncle who excels in his studies?
Liu Cheng was also very concerned about the studies of several nephews, so he began to assess them well after eating, and also gave him some pointers by the way, although he was still young, he couldn't be sloppy.
Learning is like building a house, every step has to be real, and you can't fake it, otherwise you will suffer in the future. The three nephews admired this uncle who was admitted to the academy in the city, and they showed their strength to eat milk one by one, for fear that they would make their uncle look down on them.
Liu Cheng saw that although these three children are now average in their studies, they are fortunately diligent and studious, and they are not lazy and arrogant. I told them that when I came to Cannes after the exam, let them often go to the city to ask for advice on their studies, and they must not be careless.
The cousins looked at the children with a look of adoration and looked at Liu Cheng, and they were very happy, as long as the children were willing to learn, they would naturally be able to produce a reader in the future. Maybe in a few generations, he will no longer be a farmer, and he will be able to produce an official master.
Grandma Liu knew that Liu Yue lacked nothing, so she helped Liu Cheng and Liu Yue ask for a peace charm in the nunnery, bless Liu Cheng High School, and bless Liu Yue's prosperous business. Liu Yue knew that this was the old man's intention, thanked him gratefully, and then carefully put it away.
Liu Cheng also wore a peace charm on his chest and thanked Grandma Liu happily. Grandma Liu looked at Liu Yue and Liu Cheng, and was happy, these two children are sensible and polite, they will not look down on people at any time, they are good children.
Even if her sister is under Jiuquan, she should be at ease, and she can be regarded as having completed her sister's entrustment.
Where is the father of the Liu family, Liu Zhu just asked people to bring some New Year's gifts over, Liu Yue thinks it's okay, it's not a good thing to meet anyway, it's better not to see it. Zhangjia Village still pays five taels of silver a month, but now that family is too peaceful, there is no trouble looking for Zhang's family.
I can't please it when I think about it, this Zhang family is not Mrs. Zhang's own child, but she was just raised, and she didn't treat others well when she was young, and she couldn't say that she wanted people to be affectionate.
However, Liu Yue's said that the Zhang family was fighting for the five taels of silver, anyway, the whole family was noisy and noisy, and it was not peaceful. This is also what Liu Yue wants, if they work together, they will come up with some bitter meat calculation for the Zhang family, it is better to divide them and let these people fight for the Zhang family.
Liu Zhu's family has been celebrating the New Year at Grandma Liu's house every year over the years, and the whole family is happy for the New Year! Liu Yue prepared new clothes for several nieces and nephews, plus thick red envelopes. The two sisters-in-law are always embarrassed to accept it, but after a few years, they have gotten used to it.
It's just that unless Liu Yue gives it, they won't take the initiative to ask for it, which is why Liu Yue is willing to give it to them. Some people threaten to repay their kindness, which is the most hateful. For people who really treat their own families well, or people who have helped their own families before, Liu Yue will never be stingy.
Liujia Village is very lively because of the New Year, Liu Yue celebrates the New Year in Liujia Village, so many embroidery shopkeepers will go to Liujia Village to visit the door, which can be regarded as a New Year's greeting to the owner!
But whenever they come with children, Liu Yue will send a red envelope, everyone has worked hard for themselves for a year, Liu Yue doesn't want to chill the people below.
Zhang watched Liu Yue busy and couldn't get out, from morning to night, there were always people who came to the door, and the rituals they brought were all things grown by the countrymen themselves. But Zhang's family felt that it was close, and the people who came to see their house during the New Year were to give Yue'er face, and the Zhang family also gave them one by one.
The return gift is all kinds of jerky made by Zhang's own family, although the things are small, but the affection is in them. Liu Yue blamed her mother for making a bunch of them before, and she couldn't eat them all for a year, but now she knows how useful this is?
This New Year's gift of some jerky as a return gift is beautiful and real. And it's all done by the mother herself, and it's also a heart.
When Wan passed by Village Chief Liu's house, he smelled the smell of meat inside, and when he saw one by one come to the door with a courtesy, Wan's heart was very red. The Zhang family has to collect so many good things, how can they give their own gifts?
It's really unfilial, even if it's not his own branch, Daddy Liu is also Liu Zhu's father, Liu Zhu used to be so obedient, it was all instigated by Zhang. I was angry when I thought of Zhang's Wan, but I had nowhere to attack, none of my two sons were promising, let alone my granddaughter.
Originally, Liu Zhen was very good, but now because her mother-in-law got a concubine room for her uncle, life is not going well, and Wan's heart hurts when she thinks about it. couldn't help but scold Liu Zhen's mother-in-law, these people just didn't want to make themselves better! 、
Wan Shi looked at the dried meat sent by Liu Zhu, and the five taels of silver, which was originally happy, but he would not be happy at all.
Take a look at Mrs. Liu's family, what kind of food and clothing are not good now, and it is not made up by Liu Yue's family. This cheap girl is ruthless, she doesn't help her own family but helps outsiders, even if she succeeds in the past, she is not her own family.
Poor Liu Mei, who was originally promising, actually let the prefect's wife be locked up, and she couldn't see anyone every year during the Chinese New Year, and she didn't have anyone who wanted to find a support.
Liu Yue's cheap girl shouldn't be able to get married, and she hasn't said anything about the family until now, it's definitely not a good thing, just wait to see Zhang's ugly!
Wan Shi spat vigorously at the door of Grandma Liu, and then walked back to his house with satisfaction, but when he entered the door, he was still cold and cold, and he was angry when he looked at it.
The two daughters-in-law never care about the New Year's dinner, they just come over to eat the New Year's dinner, and they eat for a month, Wan's cooks a big family's meals every day, and their tired waists can't stand up, but they can't take the two daughters-in-law. RS
