The Spring Festival, no matter in any time and space, as long as there are Chinese, it will be a very lively festival, and there is no festival in the world that can be rooted in the blood like the Chinese love the Spring Festival. And across religion and ethnicity, as long as you are Chinese, it is impossible not to have good memories related to the Spring Festival, even if you travel through time and space. When China's biggest festival is approaching, Jiang Tian is a little trance-like, in his memory, the festival scenes of the two time and space often coincide together, and the nerves that were previously oppressed by life and responsibility seem to have been released, making him a little unable to distinguish what time and space he is in.

"Brother!" Xi Yun woke up Jiang Tian loudly: "What do you want?" ”

Jiang Tian, who was sitting on his chair and thinking out of the world, looked at the familiar little face, and finally regained a little sense: "Oh...... It's nothing, it's just that your brother and I want to buy you some New Year's gifts? ”

Hearing this answer, Xi Yun relaxed a little, but just squirmed again: "No need, there are already a lot of them for me......"

Jiang Tian reached out and patted the top of her head with a wry smile and said, "How can it be more?" At least I will send you to the sedan chair to get married! ”

At the mention of this question, Xi Yun's face turned red as soon as she brushed it, and she could only say with a tense expression as much as possible: "What are you doing when you get married...... My brother is going to marry me off? ”

Jiang Tian wants to have an old saying, how do you say it? The female university is not in the middle of the stay, stay and stay to settle grievances! This girl is now saying that she doesn't want to get married, and she won't think so when she gets older: "Don't worry about getting married, at least you still have to learn some things like needlework, and let your sister Xinyue teach some etiquette, it's best to learn some more knowledge, you can't say that my sister Jiang Tian doesn't understand science, right?" ”

"Brother......" Xi Yunjiao sneered: "Ignore you!" ”

The little girl ran away as soon as she slipped away, Jiang Tian looked at it and wanted to laugh, but she didn't notice that Xi Yun's last expression was a little strict. However, the whole house is busy, and no one will notice that there is anything wrong with the eldest lady. Since Jiang Tian took root in the research room, the few masons who were looking forward to going home for the New Year began to work all the way, so noisy that the whole street could hear their tossing sound every day, but seeing that the place that made the noise was Jiang's mansion, no one dared to complain blatantly, even if you found the imperial history of the city patrol, it was useless. Besides, everyone understands that Jiang Tian is already a very popular minister, and it is also a natural thing to renovate the mansion, but I didn't expect him to work in winter. Of course, in the end, the majestic gatehouse that everyone imagined did not appear, and the gate of Jiang's Mansion was still the same as the original red mansion, and I heard that it was just a few rooms that were changed.

Jiang Tian actually wanted to re-plan the layout of the courtyard, but he didn't have such a solid financial resource, which was not only the cost of renovation, but also the cost of moving his family out to find a place to rent, so it was impossible to rebuild the entire yard. He originally thought that what he wanted to change the most was actually the bathroom, at least according to the standards of later generations, with tiles and water supply and drainage devices, but when he inquired later, the dry silver was also flowing out, and many things could only be made if he provided drawings, so in the end he also denied it. In the end, only a few rooms that were intended to be used as classrooms were demolished, that is, the row of rooms where Xinyue received him, facing the street in front of the teahouse. A few days ago, Jiang Tian went home and went to the acceptance project, not to mention that the wooden structure of the attic is not too troublesome to dismantle, it looks a bit like a classroom in later generations, and the carpenter also installed a blackboard according to the requirements, and some other rooms were transformed into classrooms with various functions according to Jiang Tian's design. Now there are piles of teaching aids customized from the Academy of Sciences that have not been packed up, and it is a year before the blink of an eye, and there is no time to care about it.

Jiang Tian went home early to help prepare for the New Year, but after returning home, no one dared to let him help, even if his master usually didn't have a fight, then he couldn't kick his nose and face to really treat himself as an outsider, especially if he was in a high position at a young age, they had not seen it in Yihong Mansion, those kind sons can sometimes be angry about some inexplicable things, and the killing methods are not much worse than the big man sitting in the hall, if he really doesn't open his eyes and let the master hold a grudge, then wouldn't he be unlucky? It can't be helped, sometimes even if you want to do something enlightened, you have to look at the times. Jiang Tian was idle like this for a few days, and it could be regarded as a relief from the heavy research and development work, and then today he happened to see Zhao Zhilian jumping back with an ox cart.

"Come here!" Jiang Tian beckoned to Zhao: "Boss Zhao, is there enough winter coal?" ”

Zhao Zhi hurriedly trotted over: "Enough, I just bought it a few days ago, and it can be used until the next year!" ”

"Hmm...... How is your mother doing? ”

mentioned his mother, this kid frowned slightly: "It's okay, I can eat and dress warmly, but I still don't recognize me." ”

Jiang Tian has no problem with this situation, he is not a doctor, even if he happened to be a psychiatrist in his previous life, he has no symptomatic medicine in this life. Then he glanced at the bullock cart again: "What's in the cart?" ”

Zhao Zhi looked back: "Isn't this the ice on your house?" ”

"Ice!" Jiang Tian was stunned: "What do I want ice for?" ”

At this time, Xinyue happened to come over, and after hearing the conversation, she hurriedly replied: "That's the case, I didn't have time to tell Master Sù a few days ago, there is an ice cellar outside the city in the Red Mansion, which was originally used to entertain guests in the summer. ”

"That's right!"

Looking at Xinyue, who looked more and more like a housekeeper, Jiang Tian didn't know what to say, the talented woman who exuded an elegant temperament in the past became a professional woman in a blink of an eye, but she didn't wear an official suit. But when I thought about it again, I really didn't know that there was an ice cellar under my name, and then I saw that the car was simply covered with a straw curtain, and there was not much of anything, so I guess the ice was not a clean thing.

"Is this ice cellar big? And where did the ice come from? ”

"I know that." Zhao Zhi's playfulness at the mention of this kind of thing became very interesting: "I saw it once yesterday, it is the size of several houses, these ice are all picked from the moat, and the rest of them are too broken to form." ”

Jiang Tian walked over and lifted the curtain to take a look, even if the river water pollution at this time was not as strict as that of later generations, the water in this moat was not much clean: "Has the ice cellar been filled?" ”

Zhao Zhi thought for a while: "It's only thirty percent, and it's still far from full." ”

Xinyue hurriedly added: "I didn't let them fill it, ice mining is time-consuming and laborious, anyway, there are not so many people in the house, I think it's enough." ”

Jiang Tian nodded, in terms of efficiency, this is indeed no problem, but since you know that there is an ice cellar, you naturally have to use it, otherwise you just want to eat a shaved ice or something in the summer, and be careful not to get dysentery. Then he turned to Zhao Zhi and said, "I have twenty taels of silver here, you go and buy some clean buckets, then fill them with sweet water and put them outside to freeze ice, and finally pile these buckets with ice into the ice cellar and cover them with a clean quilt." ”

Zhao Zhi took the two ingots and was in a daze: "Sir, this is too much, right?" ”

Jiang Tian thought to himself, what do you know, these clean ice are priceless treasures in the summer, don't look at the royal princes and nobles in the city have ice cellars, but these uncles generally can't last out of the beginning of autumn and consume their own inventory, and they won't earn more than these twenty taels when they send them out?

"You can go, and bring your mother over for the New Year, and everyone will have a reunion together."

Zhao Zhi, who was carefully carrying the silver, heard this, grinned and wanted to speak, but in the end he didn't say anything, just nodded and turned away.

Xinyue watched from the side and sighed a lot: "Sir, do you want to help their mother and son?" Those twenty taels are too much, and even filling the ice cellar with buckets won't cost so much silver. ”

Jiang Tian just smiled bitterly: "Even if I give him all this silver, it is not enough for him to support his old mother's remnants, I can only give for a while but not for a lifetime, how to do it in the future depends on himself." ”

More than 300 years ago, the Chinese New Year's Eve did not have a store pù in the Spring Festival market, nor did it start the countdown, nor did there be relatives and friends who played poker and mahjong, but the eyes full of gunsmoke raised by the firecrackers and the excited shouts of the children, even if there was a difference of two time and space, there was almost no change. No wonder later generations have repeatedly banned fireworks and firecrackers, and the flavor of the New Year here has been integrated into the bones, how can it be banned?

The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner could not be placed in the cafeteria this time, Jiang Tian gathered the people in the whole house who had no family to accompany him, plus Boss Zhao and Zhao Zhi's mother and son, and gathered together in the hall to prepare a happy meal. At first, those rough servants and maids didn't dare to sit at the same table, but under Xinyue's persuasion and Jiang Tian's sincere invitation, they sat at the farthest table. Not to mention their low status, even if men and women sit together under normal circumstances, it is no wonder that they are uncomfortable.

"You too, now is the new dynasty, when the queen was born, I heard that those edicts were also separated by a curtain and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military congratulations, the new dynasty does not have the previous rules." Xinyue is always effective in persuading others, because the reasons she finds are always convincing.

Jiang Tian picked up the wine glass and didn't stand up, just sat on the main seat and raised the wine in his hand: "This year is the first Spring Festival I have ever had with you, and I have nothing to say, since everyone trusts me and didn't leave here at the beginning, then we are a family, and there is no master and subordinate today, so we will have a lively festival, and next year I will ask everyone to take care of this family, I will toast here first!" ”

After drinking this glass of wine, Jiang Tian poured it again and looked at Boss Zhao beside him: "If you weren't willing to take it in, I'm afraid I'm already a pile of dry bones now, and I would like to give you a glass here." ”

Old man Zhao didn't have the slightest control, in his opinion, Jiang Tian can have such a status today, although it is inseparable from the emperor's fellow disciples, but he believes that with this kid's belly of weirdness, even if he concentrates on cross talk, he can have a good life, but since he is half of his life-saving benefactor, there is no problem in being toasted by him.

I have to mention that the two Japanese women, in fact, they are only in their teens, and during this time, they were forced by Xinyue to put on makeup according to the customs of the Central Plains, and they can be regarded as being able to go out to meet people. But many people are curious to see it, and it's not as beautiful as they imagined? This widow is really, why did he send such ordinary goods to a woman? In fact, how did they know that the value of geisha should be on the art table, but the dance they performed obviously could not please the lord of the Central Plains, if it was the kind raised by the daimyo family, there was also an important job to dedicate the first time of life to the host's honored guests, as for the sisters who lost the first @ night...... They had come to the Central Plains with a trembling ship, thinking that they might one day be given to Chinese officials, and as for whether they could satisfy the other party, it was up to them. But after waiting for a full month, there was no movement, and I thought if I would return to Japan, but one day I was given to the current adult. Don't look at the fact that they are only separated by a veil from that person now, but under the bright lights, they still raise their eyes from time to time to peek, and that adult is more heroic than all the men he has ever seen. It's just that these days they also understand a truth, there are many women who are more beautiful than them in the Central Plains, so which of the sisters in this house is not better than themselves? And I heard that one by one, even if you want to post upside down, you can't get the number. Do you still have to wait like this, and then one day you will be sent to another adult?

Such a change in their state of mind is inseparable from the fact that they are accustomed to a life of resignation, and Japan has always had a lack of resources and food supplies, so it has developed a fine tradition of small meals for the Japanese. At first, they only ate a small bowl of rice, and Xinyue was afraid that they would not dare to eat more, who knew that such a precious rice was actually eaten casually in Japan. When they saw this kind of food for their subordinates, they thought to themselves, didn't they come to the house of a very rich old man? Either the Central Plains is as rich as the story says. It would be a blessing to be able to live here. Later, I found out that it was just that their master was a bit special, and in other places in the Central Plains, people who couldn't eat abounded. But in this way, they are a little full of warm thoughts**, they always fantasize about how good it would be if they could be pampered by this kind old man, but they know that they are just fools and dreams, so they become self-pity for fear that this dream-like day will suddenly disappear. In addition to Jiang Tian and Boss Zhao, many people who ate this meal were absent-minded, especially the female dependents, many eager eyes were staring at the young face behind the curtain, and they all fantasized that one day they would be able to sleep with him like the quiet sisters. Of course, their wishes are not necessarily emotional, they may just be something rational in them, but so what? If he hadn't met a strange person like Jiang Tian, wouldn't he have ended up being casually disposed of like those two Japanese sisters?

Many people felt the weirdness of the atmosphere, but only Jiang Tian himself did not have this consciousness at all, because of the effect of alcohol, he was still immersed in nostalgia for another time and space. So he can't remember exactly when Boss Zhao said goodbye, but he only remembered that he drank a lot of wine, and then gave everyone a year-end red envelope. was dragged by Xiyun to watch the fireworks, although he didn't think it was very good-looking, but he still went together. At last...... There was no end, and when he was awake, he lay in his own bed.

The sky was slightly bright, Jiang Tian rubbed his sore temples, listened to the sporadic sound of firecrackers, and then remembered that he had drunk too much last night. Fortunately, it's the New Year, even if all the stalls in the yamen are closed, there is no need to worry about yourself as someone who has no fixed occupation. is thinking that after sending red envelopes to Xi Yun and Zhao Zhi to press the New Year's money, he doesn't seem to have much pocket money, and the rest of the money is in Xinyue's account, which is the cost of the whole government can't be moved, if only his patents could be sold.

Just thinking about these things, Qingshuang, who heard the movement, hurriedly got up: "The master is awake, but he is thirsty, and the slave maid will bring it to you." ”

As a result, this sentence woke up Youlan again, and she lazily rubbed her eyes and looked at Jiang Tian: "Master got up so early...... You scared the hell out of me yesterday. ”

Scaring you? You're still scaring me, aren't they all running to my bed again: "Why did I scare you?" ”

Youlan closed her eyes again and arched towards Jiang Tian's side: "It's not that you flirted with Linglong yesterday......"

"Dead girl, don't talk nonsense!" Qingyou, who returned from pouring tea, hurriedly shouted, and then still gently handed over the tea: "Master, you will relieve the hangover first." ”

Jiang Tian didn't use tea to relieve hangover for a long time, this sentence really made him startled, and it was immediately more effective than taking any hangover medicine: "Wait a minute!" Do you know when I was flirting? ”

This time, Youlan was also a little sober, she opened her eyes and looked at Jiang Tian with a blank face, and then laughed: "Isn't the master drunk and promiscuous?" The slave family should still be a strong gall of wine. ”

"Dead girl talking nonsense again!" Qingyou couldn't stand it anymore, and slapped Youlan's buttocks, which was not big or small, behind her: "Even if the master takes the Linglong girl into the house, it is a matter of course, and the nonsense of the old man's name is not going to be ruined in your hands." ”

After her explanation, Jiang Tian couldn't clear the charge, he didn't have the heart to pay attention to how Qingyou taught Youlan a lesson, anyway, his sister wouldn't be heavy-handed when he educated his sister, he just couldn't think of such a thing! Besides, with Linglong's temper, if he teased her, he wouldn't have to copy the knife directly!

Just when he was still entangled, a small servant's voice came from outside: "Master, Liu Gongzi and Wu Gongzi are visiting together and are waiting in the hall." ”

didn't have time to think in detail, Jiang Tian had to quickly change his clothes and come out to entertain the guests, and as soon as they met, he saw that the two of them were still wearing fox furs: "Two virtuous brothers, come here so early for a hundred years?" ”

The two of them glanced at each other when they saw Jiang Tiansong's loose appearance, and then they could only shake their heads at the same time, Wu Yuan sighed and said: "There are not many officials in the capital who can be like you. This New Year naturally wants to pay New Year's greetings, and if you want to pay New Year's greetings, you say who is the oldest in this capital? ”

Jiang Tian's thinking was still stuck in the matter of molesting Linglong, and he didn't turn a corner for a while: "Who?" ”

Liu Baokai really couldn't stand it anymore and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty! ”
