Chapter 275: The End of the Year (2)
Half a day passed quickly, and when I took a nap, I didn't seem to do anything, and the sky gradually darkened.
Maybe it's because it's a little dark at this time!
Seeing that the sky was gradually getting dark, Li Xin's sisters and brothers all changed into new clothes, dressed up beautifully. The new clothes to wear for the New Year were made and brought over there in Sanshi Town. The ingredients were sent by the Ling family, so they were all very good.
The Ling family is in this business after all, so there are really a lot of good materials. The clothes are made by the tailor, the craftsmanship is OK, it is a small place, and there are not many patterns, but the simplicity is a little simpler, fortunately, it looks simple and generous, lined with good materials, but there is also a sense of low-key luxury.
Everyone made several new outfits, which can be changed slowly. Seeing that there was no problem with dressing, Li Xin's sisters and brothers went out.
After leaving Caixia Pavilion, he went all the way to the flower hall where the Ling family held a family banquet.
"Caiyun, Caixia, you two should go home and reunite with your family in an unknown day! There wasn't much to do on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Walking on the road, Li Xin said.
Since coming to the capital, Li Xin has wanted Caiyun and Caixia to go home to see, but they haven't seen their family for so long! I definitely miss it a lot. It's just that there are a lot of things to deal with when I just come back, and then I am preparing for the New Year, and I can't do without the two of them.
Although I also found some new maids and servants to serve in Caixia Pavilion, but in the end, I am not used to it, and there is no Caiyun and Caixia who are not used to it.
Therefore, I haven't let Caiyun and Caixia go back to take a look. Tomorrow is not bad, but on the first day of the new year, naturally there is nothing to do. Men are busy paying New Year's greetings everywhere. Female dependents don't need it, and on the first day of the Lunar New Year, female dependents generally don't go out.
And on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the preparations for the New Year are naturally ready, and the servants can have a good leisure.
"Let's let Caiyun go back! The slave and maid stayed to serve, although there was not much to do, but it could not be without someone to serve. Caixia said with a smile. And Caiyun has a big family in the capital! ”
"You can't say that! It's because Caixia that you only have your brother in the capital. It's time to accompany my brother for the New Year. Caiyun retorted.
Caiyun and Caixia are also vying to let each other go back for the New Year, seeing that the relationship between the two is so good, Li Xin also smiled. Such a close friend. It's hard to get it in a lifetime, and if you get it, you're lucky.
Seeing that the two of them were pushing and conceding, Li Xin said with a smile: "You don't have to fight, so be it!" One of you will go back tomorrow. One day after tomorrow to go back. Get along with your family. When the New Year's Day has passed, when you are more free, you can go back for two more days, so you can do it! ”
The two of them didn't argue, agreed, and decided, so Caixia would go back to celebrate the New Year with her brother tomorrow, and Caiyun would go back to reunite with the family the day after tomorrow.
It's easy to go back. The servants' houses were all around the main house, as long as they could go back. I'll be back soon.
"Caixia, you can take a look, it's over tonight, if you still want to go back, you can go out of the house tonight." The second uncle's family is also coming over for a reunion tonight, and then celebrate the New Year together, so the door of the Ling family must be locked very late tonight, if Caixia wants to go out, she can also go out after watching the play.
"I'm not in a hurry at this time, let's go back early tomorrow morning!"
Soon they entered the flower hall, and when they entered, there were already people in the flower hall. But the people were not far from there, so they sat down and waited. Seeing that Li Xin's sisters and brothers were coming, Ling Wanyu came to sit with them.
"Wanyu, you're here so early!"
"Actually, it's not very early, I just came, and my cousin came early! I thought my cousin was going to come with my grandmother! Why did you come here first? ”
"Grandmother has two aunts waiting for her tonight! Where is my turn to be courteous! Let's let the two aunts go to the table! ”
"And for your kindness! See if my mother hears it, don't pinch your mouth. Ling Wanyu glanced at Li Xin. Ling Wanyu also helped Li Xin introduce the people in the second room. In previous years, only the second lady came back with a pair of children for the New Year, and the people in the Ling family's big house hadn't seen it much, let alone Li Xin! Naturally, it feels strange.
The men are on the other side! Through the jade screen, all the people in the second room are naturally only the female dependents here. There are a lot of people serving around the second master, there are five aunts alone, and there are a few people who have no name. There are more children than in the big house, but there is only one pair of sons and daughters.
Looking at those children, big and small, Li Xin really felt dizzy. The second uncle is so strict, like an old pedant, how can he have such a big family?
Compared with the second room, there are really not many children in the big room. There are only three sons and four daughters on the big house!
"There are so many people in your family." Li Xin sighed.
"Yes! That's a lot! So the house has always been very lively. Ling Wanyu smiled a little reluctantly, the excitement was not really lively, it was somewhat helpless.
There are so many people in a big family, and there must be a lot of contradictions on weekdays, after all, the interests are related, and no one will retreat lightly. On such a day, Li Xin felt terrible just thinking about it, if he or the people around him lived such a day in the future, that day would be too sad.
Will you be able to escape such a fate? She doesn't want to get married, but can she really go on like this for the rest of her life? She can push it for a few years, can she push it for a lifetime?
Even if she wasn't in a hurry, wouldn't Old Madam Ling be in a hurry to find her in-laws, as well as a few Wenbo, I am afraid that she would not watch her eldest sister be alone all the time.
But on days like this, she really feels terrible. She really doesn't want to live like that, the current life is very good, there is no need to change it casually. Because the war in which a group of women don't see the smoke of gunpowder is actually very terrible, if you don't deal with others, there must be others who will do everything possible to calculate you. But if you really fall into that kind of war and go with the flow, you are really afraid that one day you will become hateful.
"What do you think about your cousin?"
"I think it's a terrible day like this, and I don't want to go there in my life." Li Xin muttered, but suddenly said what was in his heart. She didn't think it was appropriate until she said it, but she couldn't take it back if she said it.
"But what can be done! Who in the world doesn't want to live like that! After all, no one in this world can escape, not to mention the three wives and four concubines of the rich and noble, there are countless people around them, even those who have a few more acres of land also want to buy a concubine and enjoy that kind of blessing. It is impossible for a family like ours to marry someone who is so poor that he only has food and clothing.
Besides, people's hearts change, and who knows when a poor person becomes a small family and has a change of mind. Cousin, this is just a good wish, and life is helpless in the end. Ling Wanyu said in a low voice.
"Why do you say that? Could it be that your uncle and aunt are going to kiss you? Li Xin suddenly thought of such a possibility.
"Yes! My father and mother are already discussing how to kiss me, and I can just watch and listen, like a puppeteer, and I can't say or do anything. Ling Wanyu suddenly became very depressed.
Following Ling Xixi, is Ling Wanyu's family affair also on the agenda? But Ling Wanyu is younger than her? Li Xin thought this was too crazy. Seeing that the village chief said goodbye to Sister Wen Xiu, she felt ridiculous enough, but she didn't expect Ling Wanyu to be so old! It's going to happen like this!
At such an age, even if you talk about family affairs, you will definitely not get married, and it will take a few years to think about it. However, the woman who said that she was different is different, and her life is not as free as before.
Just like Ling Xixi, since he got married, he hardly goes out, not even to the school, he always learns the rules in the house, and how to deal with family affairs after learning......
It seems that people are a lot dull all of a sudden, I don't know what Ling Xixi will become after getting married, and what Ling Wanyu will become?
"Don't be so pessimistic, the second uncle and the second aunt love you in the end, and they will definitely choose a good family for you, and they won't wronged you in the future." Li Xin could only comfort Ling Wanyu. Although blind marriage and dumb marriage have no emotional basis, it is also a common way of marriage in this era.
If you are lucky, you may be able to meet a good person, and the days can pass peacefully, so that you can live for a lifetime.
Don't ask for infatuation, at least raise your eyebrows and respect each other, it's really good!
Although she can't accept it for Li Xin, it is already the best for women in this era. I'm afraid of the non-people, with the addition of the Zhongshan wolf, how miserable are those days!
"I know that my father and mother will definitely not let me be wronged, but I just don't know the bottom of my heart. Sometimes I think about it, if only I could never marry for the rest of my life, how good it would be for my sisters and sisters to talk in one place! After all, everything is out of your own hands. Even if my father and mother love her, in fact, where can I always help myself! After all, you have to rely on yourself to get by. ”
"Well...... there's no way around it."
"I think it's coming soon! Grandmother is afraid that she will also worry about her cousin, and her cousin will have to plan early. ”
"You can't be in such a hurry, right? I'm only fourteen! Li Xin sighed, this body is only fourteen years old! Actually, it's still a kid!
"I'm younger than my cousin! I think it's early, but the elders don't! My mother always said! If you don't start quickly, the good child will be picked up by someone else's family, and I don't seem to be able to get married if I don't rush to find it. (To be continued......) R1292
