Chapter 131: New Year's Day
Jing Mu couldn't help but be stunned, this is really a fresh statement.
Jing Mu lowered his eyes, making it impossible to see what he was thinking, and replied: "Thank you Brother Shizi for your kindness, the aftermath of the Battle of Northern Xinjiang has not been dealt with yet." ”
"I'm afraid I won't be able to go back to the imperial capital with Brother Shizi for the New Year this year, so let Brother Shizi run for nothing, is it Jingmu's." Jing Mu politely thanked him.
"You can let someone replace you, there is no shortage of talented people around me this time, you go home and live for a few days, let him replace you, and there will be no chaos." Jinghui Road.
Jing Mu looked at Jing Hui and couldn't help but say, "Brother Shizi, why bother with him." ”
"It's the same everywhere for the New Year." Jing Mu smiled and said, "It's just a festival." ”
"But the Chinese New Year is different from other festivals, it symbolizes reunion with family."
"It's really different, every festival is unique." Jing Mu nodded.
"Second brother, you know I didn't mean that." Jinghui said a little anxiously.
Jing Mu looked at Jing Hui and smiled slightly: "Brother Shizi, it's been hard all the way, why don't you use food and then rest?" ”
Jing Hui knew that Jing Mu was unwilling to continue talking about this topic, and he also knew that he was afraid that this time he would return in vain.
But he couldn't help but say: "How pitiful it should be for you to spend the New Year alone in Northern Xinjiang." ”
Pathetic?
Jing Mu didn't think so.
He used to be a person, and he spent all these years alone, if it weren't for Brother Shao's care, he would probably be even more difficult.
As for the right moment, to be able to spend the New Year quietly alone like this, he doesn't know how much he has worked silently.
to get it.
But in Jinghui's eyes, he is still pitiful.
Jing Mu couldn't help but smile silently sarcastically in his heart, not knowing whether he was laughing at himself or laughing beside him.
In the gap between Jing Mu and Jing Hui eating, Bu Gu had already cleaned up the guest room very quickly.
Because Jinghui brought a bit of a lot of people, and Jing Mu couldn't live there, Jing Mu asked Bugu to take them all to the inn.
It just so happens that the business of the Northern Xinjiang Inn is not good, and it can accommodate so many people.
Jinghui was also about to be tired, and after eating with Jing Mu, he rested.
Jing Mu took advantage of this vacancy, changed Gongzi Mu's clothes, and quietly left the yard.
came to Yuwenxi's residence.
Before Jing Mu could sit down, Yuwenxi spoke: "I heard that the prince is coming? Are you here to pick up the second son back to the imperial capital? ”
"The girl is well-informed." Jing Mu said lightly: "I don't know why the girl wants to see me this time?" ”
"What is the second son's plan?" Yu Wenxi asked with concern.
"Northern Xinjiang is the time to employ people, although I am a scholar, but I also have the ambition to serve my family and country, so I naturally stayed." Jing Mu said without any hesitation.
Jinghui is here, I want to take him away, but he won't go?
Yuwenxi couldn't help but glance at Jing Mu, it was the first time she knew that Jing Mu wanted to serve her family and country.
is unwilling to return to the imperial capital, this is really not something that Jing Mu can do.
"The girl is surprised?" Jing Mu asked lightly.
"I'm very surprised, Wen Xi thought that this prince was here, and the second prince would return to the imperial capital no matter what." Yuwenxi said honestly.
"The imperial capital will have a chance to return in the future, but the northern frontier can't wait, the girl said, right?"
Only Yuwenxi's slight smile was the answer to Jing Mu.
Because of time, Jinghui couldn't stay long in northern Xinjiang.
He originally planned to leave with Jing Mu, but Jing Mu couldn't leave the northern frontier.
After Jinghui left what he had brought to Jing Mu, he stayed for another day before leaving the northern frontier.
When getting into the carriage, Jinghui couldn't help but ask again: "Are you sure you won't go back to Northern Xinjiang with me?" ”
"Sure." Jing Mu replied without the slightest hesitation.
"Then you have to take care of yourself, and if there is anything that is not enough, write and say." Jing Hui sighed, although he was very sorry in his heart, he still instructed Jing Mu very carefully.
"Yes, so is Brother Shizi." Jing Mu said with a smile.
sent Jinghui away, and the days passed quickly, and soon it was the New Year's Day.
Although there is only one master in the house, Jing Mu, but during the festival, Bu Gu and the old man in the house still opened up.
Sweeping the dust, sacrificing to the god of the stove, making tofu, receiving the Jade Emperor, shining silkworms, chasing the chaotic year, and other customs that Jing Mu knows and does not know are all enjoying themselves in an orderly manner.
The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was very rich, chicken, duck and fish were readily available, and Jing Mu also specially took Shao Ronghe over.
One more person is one more lively.
It's just when everyone goes to see the fireworks in the sky and the firecrackers.
Jing Mu took Shao Ronghe to a dark room.
And the two of them are not relaxed in front of people, and the atmosphere is very heavy.
Jing Mu took Shao Ronghe and pushed open the door of the secret room, and then activated the mechanism, and the lights in the room suddenly turned on.
There are not many furnishings in the room, only one tablet is the most conspicuous.
And the tablet is written with Shao Rong's name.
"Big brother?" Shao Ronghe looked at the tablet in surprise, with tears in his eyes.
"Brother Shao's bones are gone, and he can't make a tomb for him, so there is only this tablet." Jing Mu explained lightly.
Shao Ronghe couldn't help but burst into tears, knelt on the ground, and his voice was full of pain: "Big brother." ”
Jing Mu didn't say anything on the side, but left the secret room to Shao Ronghe, and he went to the secret passage to wait.
At this time, I'm afraid that Shao Rong is not the same, and there are others.
Jing Mu leaned against the wall of the dark passage, looking at the candlelight burning on the opposite side of the wall, probably only at this time could he relax.
In Cheng Yunmo's eyes, the Cheng family's New Year Festival is quite lively.
Except for the solemnity of the ancestors, there are no other particularly important events.
Three or two friends can cook a pot of wine and get a plate of melon seeds, so that they can spend an afternoon.
If you can't stand the cold weather, you can also make a stove, which is warm and delicious.
It's just that these are already memories of her father's time.
Now, most of the affairs of the Cheng family fall on her, even if she is busy day and night, even Cheng Zhao will come to help her.
Cheng Yunmo still feels that there is not enough time.
The New Year's festival is over, the monthly rules will be issued, the shops will collect rent, and the Zhuangzi will also collect rent.
All kinds of human relations must be sorted out.
Cheng Yunmo only hated himself for not having a doppelganger technique at this moment.
"Momo, take a break." Cheng Zhao looked at the very heavy dark circles under Cheng Yunmo's eyes, and couldn't help but feel distressed.
Cheng Yunmo rested his pen, rubbed his very painful head, and breathed a long sigh of relief: "How many more?" ”
"And most of it." Cheng Zhao replied.
He said again: "Things can't be done, you go sleep for a while, I'm here." ”
"It's fine." Cheng Yunmo didn't insist, she really couldn't hold on.
After staying up for a few nights, I was very tired, both mentally and physically.
Cheng Yunmo went back to the room and slept for a while, but he didn't sleep for too long.
With so many things pressing on her head, how could she sleep peacefully.
After sleeping for about half an hour, Cheng Yunmo woke up naturally.
Although he only slept for most of the hour, Cheng Yunmo was also a lot better, and the black green under him was a little lighter.
Cheng Yunmo drank a cup of herbal tea, and then got up to find Cheng Zhao.
When Cheng Zhao saw Cheng Yunmo coming back, the surprise in his eyes was very obvious: "Why don't you sleep for a while?" ”
"That's enough, it's better to get things done sooner." Cheng Yunmo sat down and said.
"We're just approaching the New Year, so we're so busy, just get through the next few days."
While Cheng Yunmo was dealing with things, he couldn't help but sigh silently in his heart.
Her father had a really hard time when he died.
After Cheng Yunmo and Cheng Zhao stayed up for a few more nights, they finally dealt with the matter.
After Cheng Yunmo dealt with the last thing, he almost burst into tears.
It's really not easy.
"The second uncle has worked hard during this time." Cheng Yunmo said after stretching his waist without any image.
"Momo has also worked hard."
After Cheng Zhao helped Cheng Yunmo deal with it, as soon as he relaxed, he felt very tired.
After all, he also stayed up a few big nights.
He's getting older, and he's not as old as he was when he was younger.
After Cheng Yunmo finished dealing with the matter, he first took a look at Cheng Yiqing, who was looking at the array diagram at that time.
Cheng Yunmo saw that he was looking very seriously, so he was not willing to disturb him.
Instead, he went to Cheng Suyin's place.
When I arrived at Cheng Suyin's Yinfeng Garden, I felt different from the place next to Cheng's house.
A strong New Year's atmosphere filled the courtyard, and as soon as Cheng Yunmo entered the door, he saw Cheng Suyin busy working there.
"Cousin, what are you doing?"
"Plum Blossom Crisp." Cheng Suyin said with a smile.
"I heard that you've been so busy these days that you haven't even slept much, so you finally have time, why don't you catch up on some sleep."
"I missed my cousin, so I came." Cheng Yunmo smiled.
Unseen, he poured himself a cup of tea: "What? My cousin doesn't want to see me, huh? ”
"You mouth, you never want to suffer a loss." Cheng Suyin smiled.
The expression is very doting.
"That's also my cousin's own spoil."
Cheng Yunmo took a sip of tea with a smile, almost didn't swallow it, Cheng Yunmo's face was wrinkled into a ball of bitterness: "Cousin, why is this tea so bitter?" ”
"This is what I drank, I didn't know you came, I didn't make the fruit tea you love to drink." Cheng Suyin raised his head and said.
"You wait, I'll make you a pot of fruit tea." Saying that, Cheng Suyin was about to wash his hands.
was stopped by Cheng Yunmo: "Don't be so troublesome, this is good, just quench your thirst." ”
Cheng Yunmo raised his glass and said.
"Are you sure?" Cheng Suyin confirmed it again.
"I'm sure."
Cheng Suyin looked at Cheng Yunmo for a while, and after making sure that she really didn't need it, she continued to make plum blossom cakes.
"Cousin, do you drink this kind of tea on weekdays?" Cheng Yunmo said very curiously.
