Chapter 54: The Seal
Kunshan County's Yazhang lanterns are colorful, up and down to change into new clothes, and even the lanterns at the entrance of the yamen are also new, a scene of the New Year.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, Second Master Zhao and a group of miscellaneous officials dressed neatly in the morning and came to the lobby to hold a sealing ceremony.
The so-called 'seal' is not to seal any demons and monsters, but to seal the county's big seals, customs and other seals, and affix seals to indicate that the yamen is on holiday and stops working.
In fact, according to the regulations of the imperial court, the Spring Festival holiday should start from the first day of the new year and end on the fifth day of the new year.
However, there was nothing wrong with the Yamen in the Chinese New Year's Eve, and Second Master Zhao took pity on his subordinates and sealed it early, letting everyone go home for the New Year and play.
The scribes and servants all went back to their respective homes, but the four masters were all officials from other places, so they could only stay here in the yamen.
"When I go back so early, I have to listen to my wife's nagging." He Wenwei suggested: "Master, let's touch two?" ”
"If you want it, you want it, it's just a mahjong game if you have nothing to do during the New Year." Bai Shouli has true love for this chess and card game improved by Zhao Gongzi. It is claimed that the embankment is built during the day and the Great Wall is built at night, and his wife has opinions.
"......" Xiong Dianshi is a single, and no one asks him for his opinion at all.
Zhao Shouzheng showed an embarrassed look and said: "The doppelganger lacks skills, this year, my father and eldest brother came to celebrate the New Year together." ”
"Lord, please go, filial piety matters." He Xiancheng hurriedly said: "Let's have time to play again." ”
"Okay." Zhao Shouzheng nodded, flashing.
~~
After a while, Zhao Erye appeared in the Golden Wind Garden in a plain robe and a big hat that could cover his face.
"The old-timers came to me so early?" The little lord had just gotten up, and was brushing his teeth with a soft-bristled toothbrush.
"Ahem," Zhao Shouzheng took off his big hat and said embarrassedly but kindly: "I'm here to invite you to my home for the New Year." ”
"Yes, yes!" Li Chengen said happily: "I just miss Xiwa, is he better?" ”
"The injury is almost healed, but the mood is not too high." Zhao Shouzheng sighed when he heard this: "Hey, the old nephew handed him over to my grandfather, and he was injured twice in three days, which is really ashamed." ”
"Don't be like this old-timers, the blessings and misfortunes of people in my generation are downplayed, and life and death are up to heaven." Li Chengen said angrily: "Although Xiwa has indeed declined a little, she can actually let the dog bite her belly, alas, ......"
While the two were talking, the eldest princess came out of the hall. I saw that she was wearing a purple sea otter lying rabbit, wearing a flower-sprinkled jacket embroidered with peonies, covered with a short crimson fox velvet cloak, and holding a purple gold hand stove, which became more and more expensive and bright.
Although Zhao Shouzheng sees it every day, he sees it all the time.
Li Chengen on the side muttered in a low voice: "My mother looks younger and younger, but she is an old-timer, and she has been very old recently." ”
"Ahem...... Zhao Shouzheng's old face flushed and said: "The wind and the sun are inevitable." ”
"Let's play." The eldest princess waved her hand and pushed away her son, who was in the way, and said, "I'm still not going to go, it's good for us to celebrate the New Year here, and we haven't been so quiet yet." ”
"That is to say, on another day. How can the New Year not let you come home? Zhao Erye said manly: "Then I am still called a man?" ”
"Zhao Lang." The eldest princess's phoenix eyes instantly watered, and she said softly: "It's enough for you to have this heart." But I'm still gone, you feel sorry for me and I feel sorry for you, how can I roast you on the fire for the New Year? ”
"Don't worry, it won't." Zhao Shouzheng said confidently: "At least...... Not today. ”
"Oh?" Ning An couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said in his heart, could it be that Zhao Lang persuaded his father?
~~
When Zhao Shouzheng took his 'cousin' family back to the county magistrate, the eldest princess knew why he was so confident.
It turned out that Zhao Hao called the more than 30 students who came from Beijing to his family for the New Year.
And before coming, he specially told them that the old man was in a bad mood recently, and asked them to coax Zhao Liben well.
So a large group of juniors surrounded the old lady, the elder uncle and the eldest uncle, and the eldest uncle, accompanied him to play chess, beat him on the back, served him tea, helped him peel oranges, coaxed the old man into a daze, and became a kind old man.
When the old man saw the eldest princess appear in front of him, but his pupils shrank, he greeted her with a smile, with a posture of today's truce.
The eldest princess knew that Zhao Li was afraid of the presence of so many juniors, and she was worried about losing the face of three generations of her family.
She greeted Zhao Li with all the money, and she also looked low and pleasing to her eyes. If people respect me, I naturally have to respect people.
Zhao Liben said more and more pleasantly: "You guys go play, it's enough for the boss and these boys to accompany the old man." ”
"I'll talk to my uncle later."
When she came out of the hall, the eldest princess took Zhao Hao's hand with relief and whispered, "Good son, my mother really didn't hurt you in vain." ”
Zhao Gongzi smiled and said: "There is one, there are two, my mother will come to sit more in the future, and it is the right thing to do to untie the knot with grandpa." ”
Zhao Shouzheng on the side nodded vigorously and said, "There is no past." ”
"Hey......" Ning An'an said this hurdle, it is a bit big. nodded to the two with some difficulty and said, "Cheng, I'll try it after the New Year, it's a big deal to let him throw me ...... too."
"Throw what?" Zhao Erye heard that she was halfway through and lost her words, and asked curiously.
"No, nothing." The eldest princess shook her head hurriedly, and said in her heart how cold it is this day, so let's change the way of apologizing......
~~
In that room, the little lord had already inquired all the way and slipped to Xiwa's room.
When I opened the door, I saw Xiwa lying on the bed with her ass pouting, her trouser legs down to her knees.
Nurse Wang Gangdan, the younger brother of the head nurse Wang Tiedan, is changing the dressing for Xiwa's buttocks.
"Yo, it's not good yet...... Li Chengen said.
"Get out!" Shiva's pillow flew over.
There was a crisp sound of 'pop', and Wang Tiedan slapped Xiwa's ass heavily.
"Be honest!"
Xiwa looked ashamed and buried her face under the covers.
"Nurse, he's not okay?" The little lord walked over and threw the pillow on the bed.
"The dog wasn't a rabid dog, but his teeth were dirty, and his stomach was a little inflamed." Wang Tiedan used a cotton swab, dipped in ointment, and smeared it on Xiwa's left buttocks, where there was a circle of wounds like tooth marks.
Well, that's the tooth mark......
Speaking of which, Xiva's injury this time is really unlucky.
Well, which time was he injured and not unlucky?
Before he accompanied the little lord brother and sister to Suzhou to play, the two had already made an appointment to see the Fengyue industry in Suzhou City. But Li Mingyue watched closely and didn't dare to go openly, so she had to sneak out of the back door while the girls were asleep.
As a result, the black light stepped on the dog's tail. The fierce dog that guarded the door snorted and bit him on the cheek.
Xiwa screamed and jumped and jumped and jumped on her stomach, and there was a dog attached to her belly......
Fortunately, Li Chengen is a practitioner and has played with a lot of dogs, so he flew up and kicked on the waist of the big dog. The beast whimpered, collapsed on the ground, and let go of Xiwa's jaw.
ps. Today's various trivial matters are disturbing, I didn't write much, I was ashamed, and I hid my face and left.
