1239 New Year's greetings

Xiao Han wasn't worried that the dogs would pass on this kind of firecrackers with a prescription.

Because he knows very well that these people may be fun-loving, but in terms of relationships, they still know how to measure!

Otherwise, they wouldn't just hide in the yard and play, and blow themselves up into this miserable appearance......

"Hey, my new dragon silk robe, I've only worn it once, and I've been woefully by this bunch of rabbits!"

Thinking that he had suffered a catastrophe early in the morning, Xiao Han was still angry.

Yuan Ri can't be played? Can't kick?

Good! Then don't hit or kick! Anyway, punishing a person is not limited to the body.

hurriedly went back to the room to change clothes, washed and cleaned, and when Xiao Han walked out of the back house again, it was already sunrise outside.

Steward Lu didn't know how many times he had turned around at the door of the back house at this time, and there was a circle of marks on the ground anyway.

When he finally saw Xiao Han come out, he hurriedly greeted him and said, "Lord Hou's New Year is a great success!" ”

Xiao Han saw that it was Steward Lu, so he also arched his hand to him and said, "Mr. Lu's New Year is smooth!" ”

This is the auspicious words of the New Year, just a few words that come and go, just to win a good fortune.

After saying the auspicious words, Steward Lu hurriedly got to the point and said, "Master Hou, Yangzhou Thorn Shi and the chief official have been waiting in the living room for a long time. ”

"Huh? How did the two of them come so early? Did something happen? Xiao Han was stunned for a moment and asked a little strangely.

Steward Lu shook his head and said, "What can I do today?" According to the old slave, they just want to be the first to pay New Year's greetings to you. ”

When Xiao Han heard this, he smiled dumbly and said, "What's there to fight about?" We don't give the first place reward. ”

Steward Lu also laughed: "Hehe, although there is no reward for the first place, the name is good." Master Hou, you better go and see the two of you, it's not good to make them wait too long. ”

"That's right, let's go, let's take a look!" Xiao Han thought about it, smiled self-deprecatingly, and led Steward Lu to the living room.

The custom of getting up early to pay New Year's greetings has been around since the New Year's Festival, and it has continued to the next generation.

The difference is that the earliest New Year's greeting is after the New Year, when relatives and friends open the door to see each other to see if there has been an accident on Chinese New Year's Eve, such as being caught by the New Year beast and starving.

Later, it gradually evolved into a simple visit and blessing, and after the addition of good people, many rules were added to it, such as: New Year's greetings should be arranged according to status, status, and intimacy.

Those with low status should first pay New Year's greetings to those with noble status, and those with younger generations should first greet the elderly, these are the rules of New Year's greetings.

Like Xiao Han, he didn't have any blood relatives when he was in Chang'an before, only a group of friends.

And among these friends, his age and identity are the youngest, so every year, he runs out to pay New Year's greetings to others, and now in Yangzhou, he can finally try the taste of New Year's greetings given to him.

followed Steward Lu all the way to the front hall, and heard loud laughter faintly coming from the living room, listening to the voice, it should be Master Hua and Sun Simiao chatting with them.

Listening to the hearty laughter that became clearer and clearer, Xiao Han's originally depressed mood suddenly improved a lot.

After tidying up his clothes a little, Xiao Han pushed the door and entered, and saw that it was Cui Jingzhi and Old Man Hua in the room, so he first respectfully bowed to Old Man Hua and Sun Simiao who were sitting in the seat.

To Xiao Han, these two are his dear elders! Even last night's Chinese New Year's Eve, they were all together, and the relationship was no different from that of their own parents, and this gift was purely for juniors to say hello to their elders.

Old man Hua and Sun Simiao also knew Xiao Han's thoughts, so they sat there peacefully and accepted this salute, and even Old Man Hua whispered a few words such as Xiao Han was too lazy and got up too late.

In the hall, the two old men had special identities and could sit there motionless.

But Cui Jingzhi and Yang Wenwen had already gotten up and flashed to the side.

The two of them don't look at their age, but their status and power are really not the same as Xiao Han's!

And the two of them were promoted this time, everyone knows that this is inseparable from Xiao Han's strong recommendation, they are too late to be grateful to Xiao Han now, how can they be willing to go beyond the courtesy?

"Hou Ye has fun in the New Year!"

Standing on the side, they waited until Xiao Han had finished saluting, and then the two hurriedly bowed their hands to Xiao Han to salute the New Year.

Seeing this, Xiao Han also exchanged courtesies, and also replied: "Haha, the two of you have fun!" Fun! ”

New Year's greetings, in fact, in the final analysis, are just a meaning.

You're here to pay New Year's greetings, and that's all there is to it, everyone flatters each other, says something unnutritious, and turns around and forgets about it.

But the question is if you don't come to pay New Year's greetings?

Ahem, then this may be a bit of a big deal......

Just like some of the recipients of gifts in later generations.

If you give a gift, I may not miss you.

But if you don't send it, hum, I will definitely engrave you in my heart, and I will wait for the little shoes to wear in the future!

After the New Year, they said a lot of nonsense, Yang Wenwen and Cui Jingzhi estimated that there were still many homes to move around, and they didn't dare to stay longer, so they thanked Xiao Han for going out in person and wanted to send it, so they only let Steward Lu accompany him out of the house.

Sending off the two for Xiao Han, Steward Lu returned to the mansion, and saw that Xue Pan also appeared in the living room at this time, so he hurriedly summoned the whole family to come together to pay New Year's greetings to the head of the family.

Greeting the head of the family on the morning of the first day is also a common practice of the big families, and of course, it is also a favorite ritual of those slaves.

Without him, there is just a red envelope to take!

"Hurry up! What about Xiaodong? And stunned, go find it, hurry up and come over! ”

In the courtyard, Steward Lu scolded those slaves and subordinates to drop their jobs and come to the head of the house to pay New Year's greetings first, and as for some who couldn't find anyone, they also hurried to find them back.

Xiao Han was talking to Sun Simiao and them in the hall, and naturally he also saw the busy appearance outside, as well as the more and more people gathered.

Before, the affairs of the family were taken care of by Xue Pan and Steward Lu, he was only the shopkeeper, and he didn't know how many people in the family, until this time, I found that the Xiao family had unconsciously grown into a Zhong Ming Ding Shi everyone

Just looking at those people outside the hall, even if you don't count the new fire guards, there are dozens of slaves.

I remember that at the beginning, the Xiao family still didn't have a slave, but slowly, he was still tenaciously assimilated by this world.

It's not that Xiao Han doesn't stick to his original dream, but that he finally understands a truth in things again and again: people, if they want to live comfortably, it's best to be like everyone else, and they must not live as an alien!

So, all he could do now was to be as kind as possible to these slaves.

Treat them as if they are here to work and make money, instead of treating slaves as one of their own objects like other powerful families, and they are only the masters who live and die.
