Chapter Fifty-Eight: The New Year of the Lunar New Year

Judging from his experience in society for so many years, the most advanced method is generally the collusion between officials and businessmen.

This is a means that is difficult to compare with any kind of technique, and it is also the best way to kill people, the county lieutenant of a place is often the local head snake, a local head snake who has been operating in the place for so long will be crushed to the ground without any power to fight back, which can only say that there must be a secret that cannot be said.

"Mother, how about we go back to the county seat?" As soon as he asked, Fan Ming felt a little abrupt, it was not easy to maintain the current situation, presumably Fan Qin would think of the sadness at the beginning.

Sure enough, after a while, tears flowed out of Fan Qin's cloudy eyes, and the atmosphere became a little sad for a while.

"If you can go back to the county seat, I'm afraid that even if your father is under Jiuquan, he should rest in peace, the ancestral tablet!" As she spoke, Fan Qin's family cried loudly, and even the ancestral tablet was not invited out when she confiscated the family property, which made her cry bitterly when she thought of it now, this is the unfilial piety of her descendants, it is her own unfilial piety, which is like a thorn in her heart.

"Mother, don't worry, we have to go back no matter what." Seeing Fan Qin's crying appearance, Fan Ming's heart was not happy, and he couldn't help but secretly make up his mind to return to the county seat in the shortest possible time.

Time passed, and it was the end of the month in a blink of an eye, and Chen Siliang's side also sent him good news, the county school selection students Qinghe Township must leave one or two places, nominally this is to reward the prosperity of Qinghe Rural Learning, but in fact, it is to value the taxes brought by Qinghe Caofu in several industries in Qinghe.

This news made Fan Ming's heart let go a lot, so he had a lot of opportunities than others, he had seen a limited number of students in Qinghe Township, all of them were the outer disciples of Old Master Gong, their qualifications were mediocre, and they belonged to a pure mixed literacy foundation, so they didn't pose any threat to him.

The wax moon is the end of the year, and it is in the cold winter.

The folk proverb: "Laba, Laba, freeze off the chin", which is exactly the cold. At this time, the winter field is completed, so there is a saying of "winter idle".

Farming is "idle", but the rhythm of the peasants' life has not slowed down, but there are still a few families in the village doing happy events, which makes every household lively, and even a few families take advantage of this festive energy to visit their own children and girls to set up dolls, and they don't care about their own children and girls.

Fan Ming did not follow these peasants and fell into desolation because of this, the daily homework still did not fall, but it increased a lot, anyway, although there are some guarantees, but there is no harm in having a thick foundation.

However, Fan Qin's family has been a lot happier these days, and then Chen Siliang's relationship ushered in a wave of neighbors who went around the door, chatting about interesting things in the village every day, but they also enjoyed it.

Of course, the most talked about topic is still focused on Fan Ming, these days, the Fan family kid has become a decent person when he looks at it, and he suddenly became a relative to the elder family, which made all the neighbors dumbfounded.

With the help of chattering, these seven aunts and eight aunts are all turning around to explore the matter of Fan Qin's Fan Ming's marriage, although the Fan family is now broken, but it is finally a decent family, and it can be seen that the Fan family boy will have to leave this small village sooner or later, and come to the county to be a clerk, that is amazing.

However, Fan Qin's family knows his son's thoughts, it is the time to study, and when the time comes, Wan'er will marry, although she can't be a wife, she can only be a concubine, but she can be regarded as having someone to serve, so she is not so anxious.

So he prevaricated by saying that this was the rule of scholars.

On the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, this day is a big day before the year, from this day on, every household has a lot of things to do, to sweep the house, please incense, sacrifice stove, seal, write Spring Festival couplets, do New Year's goods, of course, the Fan family is no exception.

Although there are only two mothers and sons, it is a little quieter, but the minimum procedure still has to arrive.

Fan Qin was busy in the house, taking care of everything meticulously, except for writing Spring Festival couplets, Fan Ming was not allowed to move.

In the study, Fan Ming looked at this blank red paper and was stunned, this old lady assigned the task of writing Spring Festival couplets, he couldn't think of a suitable word for a while, and it was not easy to fool around, he couldn't write anything like other farmers, what kind of wind and rain, longevity, New Year's Day, Jiajie Changchun, Wanjiateng laughter and the like, to say that this is a radius of 100 miles, he is a scholar, and he is really embarrassed to ask people again.

"Wulang, the third aunt of the Lin family asked you to help him write a couplet, and the Qi family and the other families of the Wang family also brought red paper, you can help them write it while they have nothing to do." Fan Qin held a few pieces of red paper in his hand and put them on Fan Ming's table, "The villagers in this township will also want to be festive, and you can help them write." ”

Fan Ming nodded helplessly, "I'll take it out when I'm done, mother, don't worry!" ”

sighed, picked up the pen, and wrote a pair of the most popular couplets on a piece of red paper in a neat calligraphy, such as what six animals and pigs are treasures; Four o'clock spring latest. Pigs who make money arch households; Get rich and welcome spring. the housekeeper Lao Yu dog; There is gold to get rich. And so on, these will feel very kind to these simple farmers.

When he arrived at the couplet at his home, Fan Ming looked at the scene of the loess and mud in the farmland outside the window, and his heart moved, and he couldn't help blurting out: "The cattle plough the green fields, and the tigers roar in the green mountains." ”

Chanting this sentence, Fan Ming's heart was happy, the ox ploughed the green field just like his current situation, diligent, like a cattle lying on the ground, for a piece of green soil under his feet, and the tiger roaring green mountains represented his expectations buried deep in his heart, and there was no other sentence more suitable, more appropriate to express his mood, and the pen in his hand fell heavily.

The usual fashionable and jerky Cai Ti character came out of nowhere, and suddenly came out of the clouds and fell into a dream, suddenly.

Walking out of the door, there were already a lot of neighbors standing in the courtyard, and when they saw Fan Ming coming out, they all greeted each other, with the long days of going to the village, Fan Ming was still the original Fan Ming, but the temperament of a scholar on his body became heavier and heavier, and the neighbors looked at him with a trace of respect.

Fan Ming smiled and nodded as a greeting, and shouted inside: "Mother, the couplets have been written, and I have put them on the desk." ”

"Oh, okay, you go and get your business, I'll go in and get it later."

"Then I'll go for a walk!" Fan Ming nodded to the crowd of neighbors, turned around and walked out of the courtyard.

The Spring Festival is the most solemn of the three traditional festivals of the Chinese, and the wax moon is the prelude to welcoming the Spring Festival, which is actually a performance of farmers praying for their own blessings, and this process generally lasts for a long time.

Broadly speaking, the New Year should be "celebrated" from the 23rd day of the lunar month, and it can even be said that it starts from drinking Laba porridge, and it will not end until the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month. In the past, some official eunuchs even delayed the New Year until the day of the "dragon raising its head" on February 2.

Along the way, Qinghe Village was hung with a layer of festive colors, and there was the laughter of children everywhere, after all, the Chinese New Year was the happiest time of the year for them, and without too much delay, Fan Ming went to Caofu.

Although Caofu is a big household, but the main household is in Yingtianfu after all, and other employees should take a holiday, and they should rest, and even the old fortune head of the gatekeeper has gone back.

Fan Ming couldn't help but think of Xiangxue in his mind.

I don't know if she received the letter, when she will come over again, and if she counts that she has been separated for half a year, it's really a little weird to miss her!
