Seeing that her young lady liked to listen to it, Hongling inquired about what she knew, and even told Lu Ting how big the house was and what the façade was.

Zheng Yanzhi said with some surprise: "I rented a house and didn't live in a hostel, it seems that I won't leave Chang'an in the short term, there is only one blessing to serve by my side, and there are too few people." ”

"No, if there were people in the family, the slave wouldn't have waited in the wind and snow for so long, and her body was almost freezing." Hongling cocked her mouth and complained.

didn't send the snacks to Lu Ting, Hongling didn't dare to go back, he just waited until it was almost dark to see the owner, and it was estimated that Lu Ting would not wait for half an hour later, but after waiting for so long in the wind and snow, this crime was not less.

"Okay, okay" Zheng Yanzhi soothed: "I asked the kitchen to leave you your favorite haggis soup and roast leg of lamb, and I don't want to wear this set of old finishes, so I'll reward you." ”

Living in such a dilapidated house, in addition to one blessing, there are not more than two maids to serve, it seems that Lu Ting did not lie, he really went on a study tour, and did not go to Wang's house to eat soft rice.

You're a bit of a backbone.

Hongling's eyes lit up, and she said with a look of surprise: "Miss Xie, it's still the best for the slave maid." ”

That set of jewelry Zheng Yanzhi only bought last year, there are hairpins, step shakes, finishes, bracelets, etc., it is made of precious jade by famous craftsmen, very beautiful, Hongling also secretly wore it twice, I like it so much, it has been cold outside for so long, I know that Miss will be rewarded, but I didn't expect it to be so thick.

Looking at Hongling's surprised face, Zheng Yanzhi also had a smile on her face, and quickly pretended to ask casually, "I sent him a snack, but he didn't reply?" ”

"It's back, it's back" Hongling immediately said: "Lu Gongzi said that Miss has a heart, and she will find a time to come to the door another day to thank you." ”

Come....

Zheng Yanzhi seemed to think of something, and hurriedly asked, "Hongling, you didn't reveal my identity, did you?" Does the prodigal son know? ”

Now the most worrying thing is his identity, if Lu Ting knows that he has been lying to him, I wonder if he will be angry? If he knew that he was the eldest lady of the third room of the Xingyang Zheng clan's Northern Ancestor, would he be frightened?

"The slave thinks he doesn't know yet" Hongling said with some amusement: "Lu Gongzi also asked the slave maid, whether the young lady has been punished, it seems that she is very worried about the young lady, and the little one said that the young lady has made a meritorious service and is now staying in Chang'an to do things." ”

"Okay, let's eat first, don't go hungry." Zheng Yanzhi said with a smile.

Hearing that Lu Ting was worried about himself, for some reason, he was happy in his heart.

"Yes, miss."

For a few days, Zheng Yanzhi was looking forward and worried, for fear that Lu Ting would come and discover her "secret"; I was afraid that Lu Ting would not come, so I just dealt with Hongling casually.

It seems that the latter has a greater chance, and after waiting for three days in a row, Zheng Yanzhi didn't wait for the news of Lu Ting's arrival, some of the arrangements seemed redundant, her face slowly deteriorated, and even her appetite was not good, Zheng Yuanxuan thought that she was too busy and ignored her daughter, I don't know how many times I blamed myself, and I gave jewelry and the latest satin, but I couldn't get a smiling face from my daughter.

Lu Ting also wanted to find the little girl, but he really couldn't spare time, Cheng Chuliang had Cheng Biting Jin's "Shang Fang Sword", and ran to Lu Ting's house when he was free, followed by a little tail who called himself "Ranger Chicken" every day.

It's the New Year, every household is trying to make delicious food, the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui They remembered the delicious stir-fried dishes they ate in Cheng's mansion, so they all asked Lu Ting for pots and stoves, those were all big shots, Lu Ting couldn't afford to provoke any of them, so he had to agree one by one, and asked Cheng Yanjin to borrow the blacksmiths and masons that day, and the families lined up to get them, and they were very busy.

It's not in vain, it's too vulgar to count the money, isn't it just about the New Year, it's normal for the elders to send some souvenirs and specialties, and after a few days, Lu Ting's house alone has three sets of precious four treasures in the study, all kinds of dried fruits, silk, and cloth.

A powerful person is a powerful person, and he is not stingy when he makes a move, and Lu Ting has made a lot of money with the iron pot and the new stove.

Lu Ting also noticed that most of the people who are looking for themselves are new nobles, like those famous families, who rarely get close to him, once Cheng Biting Jin joked and asked Lu Ting to make an iron pot for Zheng Yuanxuan's mansion, but Zheng Yuanxuan's attitude was very cold, saying that the kitchen is a heavy place, and the changes should be cautious, there is nothing wrong with this, but the process of biting Jin laughed very weirdly at the time.

Unknowingly, on the evening of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, although the house was only rented, Lu Ting also followed the customs, making fairy wood, banners, preparing Wuxin plates, tea sets to be used when passing the seat, fruit plates, New Year's firecrackers, etc., and then chatting with Fu Zhi and the two while keeping the New Year.

In the Tang Dynasty, there was no custom of pasting the Spring Festival couplets during the New Year, just using the peach wood board to write the two names of Shen Tu and Yu Lei, hanging at the head of the door, called "fairy wood" or "peach charm", so that the gods were invited to guard the homeland, not to let the evil demons invade, the banner is the first day of the first year in the courtyard to erect a long bamboo pole, the top of the pole is hung with a long flag made of paper or cloth, the flag is written with some wishes for the new year, the wind is shaking, so that the wish can blow to the ears of the gods, and the wish can come true.

There are still many rules Lu Ting doesn't understand why, but they have been handed down, just like Chang'an City, it is such an important festival as the New Year, the curfew still continues, before dawn, the gate and the front of the city will not be opened, from the public to the people, they all have to stay at home.

"Childe, I don't go out during the Chinese New Year, Chang'an is really strange." Fu Zhi said with some surprise.

During the New Year, every house is brightly lit, some people still have the sound of frolicking, and some people talk and chat with their neighbors through the window, but few people go out, and the streets are empty, and the soldiers are still patrolling.

"Chang'an is the capital, there must be many rules, wait a minute, in half a month it will be the Shangyuan Festival, no matter day or night, you can play how you want." Lu Ting looked sideways in the direction of Pingkangfang and replied a little absentmindedly.

It's a long time, the New Year, the laughter and the sound of silk and bamboo in Pingkangfang have not stopped, and it seems that there are still people playing drums to help the fun, and they don't have to go home to reunite with their families for the New Year, which makes them a little nervous.

Yes, many of the officials are out to be officials, and there are not many people who go in and out of Chang'an every day, and there are a large number of Hu people who travel and do business in Chang'an, and these people make Chang'an's Pingkangfang prosperous.

Since the completion of Chang'an City, it has implemented a strict curfew system, not to mention the New Year, even the emperor's birthday will not be lifted, except for the Shangyuan Festival.

Tang Dynasty Shangyuan Festival is widely regarded as the day of the blessing of the heavenly palace, under the attention of the imperial court, Shangjie Yuan can be said to be the most grand, the most lively and the most anticipated festival in Chang'an, to the day of the Shangyuan Festival, every household will hang the lanterns carefully prepared, the whole Chang'an City is brightly lit, for three days, the curfew is temporarily canceled, the east and west cities are not closed, people can play all night long, watch the lanterns, taste food, sing and dance, shop, many women who are raised in the boudoir on weekdays are also dressed up on the street, The entire city of Chang'an became a sea of joy.

Lu Ting was a little anxious to see the grand occasion of the Shangyuan Festival in Chang'an.

"This piece of dim sum is so delicious, hey, it looks like a dim sum sent by Miss Hongling." Fu Zhi said suddenly.

It's bad, Lu Ting has a thrill in his heart: forget the little girl.

I came to Chang'an, I didn't expect Xiaoqiao and Hongling to come, and I don't know where they found out where they lived, and took the initiative to send a large food box of snacks, when it was almost dark, Hongling wanted to go back in front of the gate, and didn't talk a few words, at that time I was still thinking about the exchange of gifts, and sent some delicious food to the little girl, and I owed her a big favor, but I was too busy these days to leave this matter behind.

Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, I still don't say anything at all.

It's a bit unauthentic.

Just when Lu Ting was thinking about how to remedy it, the bells and drums outside suddenly rang together, and then there was a sound of blowing blessings, and soon there was a "bang bang" firecracker sound, it was really a "bamboo", the Tang Dynasty did not have gunpowder, there were no fireworks, people threw sections of bamboo into the fire, and the bamboo burst under the heat to make a "bang bang" sound, it is said that this sound can scare away bad evil things, and can also add joy to the festival.

Lu Ting's heart was shocked, Wude has been in the past eight years.
