The night was dark everywhere, like black ink knocked over by a naughty student. A half-moon in the sky, climbed into the sky early, to welcome the arrival of the new year. The stars looked at the slowly coming New Year, blinking curiously.

When the time came, in Chang'an City, two teams composed of father and son walked in the alley, illuminated by the lanterns hanging in front of the portal. There is also one that is carried in the hand, in case there is a black road. One of them walked from Jinhua Lane to Tongren Lane, and the other team walked from Mozhi Lane to Liuhui Lane.

"The third watch of the child, safe and sound!" The son carried a yarn lamp, while the father held a tool and shouted as he played.

Two alleys that are not connected, the same thing is happening, just when they have just started the change, every household is like, as if they are not in a hurry to greet them, the people in the alley have opened their gates, and the wide road of the alley is full of firecrackers of different sizes, crackling and ringing.

"Happy New Year, Happy New Year." The two teams of father and son said to the people in the alley, running as if they had run away. They sat as if they had been discussed. Looking at the way they fled, it turned out that people were not welcoming them, but people were welcoming the arrival of the new year.

The promise of a shallow sleep, listening to the sound of firecrackers in a daze, slowly getting louder and louder, as if someone was setting off firecrackers in front of her bed. She got up with sleepy eyes, pulled open the bed curtain, squinted out of the window, looked at the dark window, and thought to herself, where is this going to be trouble? I don't want anyone to sleep!

The sound of climbing the stairs came, and Xu Promise was half-climbing, looking at the screen.

"Ahh

"Girl, have you been woken up by firecrackers?" Youlan, who was holding the oil lamp, just came up and raised her eyes, and Xu Yu scattered her hair, half of her body was lying on the side of the bed, and she was frightened to touch her chest with her hands, exclaimed, and asked.

"yes!" Xu promised to see that it was Youlan, and lazily lay back on the bed, and replied weakly.

"Girl, you're going to sleep! It's still a few hours before dawn!" Youlan, holding the lamp, stood beside the bed and persuaded.

"Hmmm! I'll give it a try! After the promise was finished, he raised his hand to lift the quilt and covered himself tightly.

Youlan stood and waited for a while, and found that Xu Yu fell asleep with a light snoring, and Xindao was tired today, so she walked downstairs lightly.

Two hours later, Xu Yue was pulled up by Youlan in a daze, half-opened his eyes, and asked aggrievedly, "What are you doing!" I just fell asleep!"

"Girl, it's time to get up and greet the old lady!" Youlan said with a promise on her hands.

Mama Qiu, who walked upstairs with a lunch box, found that Xu Yue was still lying in bed, and said with a smile: "Oops! It's time for the girl to get up, and you will say goodbye to Madame at your own house, and then there will be nothing to do, and you will worship the master at night! Unlike Su Gongzi and the two girls, they want to suffer and go to the Wang's house to pay New Year's greetings. ”

"Hmmm! I'll get up now, and Youlan will bring you the clothes I asked you to change of yesterday. Xu Promise raised his head and looked at Youlan and said.

"Yes, girl."

"Can I wear it in the quilt, it's so cold, Youlan, have you made a brazier?" Xu Promise wrapped up the quilt and stared at Youlan and said.

"Born, born, you get up, lean against the brazier and feel it. The maid beside the bed did not dare to put a charcoal brazier, if the water was gone, it would be troublesome. ”

"Phew! Mother Qiu, I'm just asking. Don't talk about the unlucky one for the New Year. ”

"Oops! Mouth-slapping, mouth-slapping, the old slave didn't pay attention to it for a while. Girl, don't blame, don't blame!"

"Hmm!" Xu Promise got up and straightened up, let Youlan and Mama Qiu help put on the clothes, and then walked to the noodle rack and washed up.

Half an hour later, he promised to have breakfast, tidy up his appearance, and went to Mrs. Su's house under the guidance of Qiu's mother.

After the promise was made by the maid, when he entered the house, he saw Su's mother sitting upright on the Luohan bed, and the two sisters of the Su family had already thought that they were on the chair of the master on the side.

"In the new year, I wish my aunt all the best and all the best. I wish you two sisters a happy and happy life. Ling Lianbu made a promise and walked into the room to give a salute.

"Okay, okay, come and give, this is your New Year's money, these two belong to the two of them." Mrs. Su took out three purses from her arms and gave them to the three of them in turn.

"Noir! After a while, the two sisters are going to their grandfather's house to pay New Year's greetings, you can go if you want to, and if you don't want to go, you can go back and rest, and it is snowing heavily today, so take them at home well, and don't get caught in the cold. ”

"Yes, aunt, Nuo'er understands." Xu Nuo, who had just sat down, nodded back.

"Okay, you go back first! I was tired yesterday and haven't rested yet! When your uncle comes back, I'll take them to New Year's greetings!"

"Nanuo'er will go back and rest first." Xu Promise got up and saluted slowly.

Mrs. Su nodded, looking at the promise that had already gone out, revealing a sad face.

"Mother, why don't you let your sister go with us, she will be bored at home by herself!" Su Rou looked at her mother and asked puzzled.

"No, don't let her go. If she goes, you all give New Year's money, and there is no her, what does she think, not to mention that there is still some misunderstanding between Uncle Guo and your grandfather. Mrs. Su took Su Ningyu from the nurse's arms and explained to the two sisters who were confused.

When the two sisters heard their mother's words, they nodded, and after looking at each other and smiling, they heard Su Rou say, "It's still that mother is thoughtful, we thought wrong." ”

"Humph! You two little girls, you think about something wrong, don't you think, mother, I deliberately didn't let her go. Ay! I tell you, relatives are about helping each other, understanding each other, and understanding each other. If it's all intrigue all day long, then this family won't last long. Mrs. Su taught the two sisters Su Rou with great care.

………

An hour later, I saw Father Su get out of the carriage and enter the inner courtyard.

"Sir." As soon as Su's father lifted the curtain and entered the house, he looked up and saw the maid Shi Lidao.

"Happy New Year, Father! (Happy New Year, Dad!) Su Qi saw Father Su come in, and couldn't wait to run to Father Su with her white and tender palms, blinking a pair of big eyes that could speak, staring at Father Su and saying, Su Rou whispered behind her.

"You! You! She doesn't look like a girl at all, look at your sister, this time give it to her first. Father Su nodded lightly with his hand, and Su Qi's head said.

"Thank you, father."

"It's my turn, it's time for me." Su Qi watched her father give it to her sister, so she raised her little hand and stretched it out between Su's father and Su Rou, and begged eagerly.

"Good, good, good, I can't help you." Father Su bowed his head kindly, held her petite hand, put the purse in the palm of her hand, and said kindly.

"Su Lang, I'm going to my mother with them." Mrs. Su handed Suning to the nurse, got up and walked to Father Su and said.

"Yes! Go ahead! I'd rather be there first! Father Su replied.

On the second floor of Qingfeng Pavilion, the sound of da, da, da, and da climbing the stairs was mixed with the voice of Mama Qiu.

"Girl, girl, just now I went to the kitchen to deliver dishes and chopsticks, there was a maid, I don't know which house, told me that someone was looking for me outside, I took a look, guess what?" Mama Qiu, who climbed upstairs, asked with an envelope.

"You've received a letter." Promise glanced at it, and then lay down on the side of the carbon brazier again.

"Girl, how do you know!" Mama Qiu stared at Xu Promise with a look of disbelief and said.

"Bring it, I'll take a look." Xu Promise looked up and glanced again.

"Here, girl."

Xu promised to take the letter, and looked at the words on it that were the same as the words Qin An wrote to her last time. I understood in my heart that it must be Qin An who wanted to ask him out to play.

Xu smiled and tore open the envelope, and saw that it was written: Girl, welcome the New Year today, can you invite the girl to enjoy the snow in Beishan! I will wait on Suzaku Street, and I will not see you or disperse.

- Ann

Xu Promise rolled his eyes after reading it, and said in his heart that I didn't like this kind of day, but this event was also my least favorite. Look at the snow in winter - it makes it worse! I also asked if I could, you won't be gone, and you can still freeze on the street.

Xu Promise sighed, got up and said to Youlan: "You go and find me one, simple, warm, not like the clothes that the girl wears!" I'm going to an appointment. ”

"Girl, where can I find this!" Youlan was just about to go to the cabinet to pick up clothes, and after listening to the promised conditions, she was stunned, stared at the promise, and said.

"Huh! It's a little hard! ”

"Hey! Lend me one of your clothes to wear, and come back and give you back. Xu Promise thought about it and said.

"Girl, it's really unfortunate, yesterday I saw that the weather was good, so I washed it all."

Xu Yu looked at Youlan in shock and said, "It's all washed?" Didn't you follow me all the time yesterday? ”

"When the girl didn't get up, the slave washed." Youlan bowed her head and replied timidly.

"Huh! All right! ”

After being stunned for a while, Xu promised to shout: "Mother Qiu, Mother Qiu."

"Here, here, what's the matter with the girl calling the old slave?" Mama Qiu was holding a feather duster and cleaning the books downstairs, when she heard the promise calling her, she hurriedly went upstairs, and the feather duster forgot to put it down, so she took it upstairs directly.

Xu Promise walked up behind Mama Qiu, pushed her, and pressed her on the stool to sit down. Xu Yu pinched Mama Qiu's shoulders while lying on Mama Qiu's ear and said earnestly: "Mama Qiu, I pinched ............!"

"Oops! Girl, what are you doing? My wife can't afford it. Mama Qiu was making a promise, and as soon as she said the first sentence, she got up in fright and said.

"It's nothing, it's just something to ask you." Promise asked in a whisper.

"What does the girl command?" said the manager. The old slave must do a good job for the girl. ”

"It's not a big deal."

"That's the little things." Mama Qiu asked.

"No, I just wanted to ask you for a dress."

"What does the girl want the old slave's clothes!"

"I'm going to an appointment, and it's not convenient to wear my clothes. Wear your clothes, comb a woman's sideburns, and no one will talk nonsense. ”

"This, this...... It's not appropriate, isn't it? Girl. ”

"Oops! Nothing inappropriate, hurry. The promise urged Mama Qiu to go back and get the clothes.

Looking at Mama Qiu, who had already gone downstairs, Xu Yue's eyes narrowed slightly, turned around with a smile, and said in his heart: If you don't pit Qin An's money today, he can be friends with that big money master, and he must also have money.

Youlan on the side, looking at Xu Yu's abnormal appearance, said in fright: "Girl, I'll clean the downstairs." Looking at Xu Promise and nodded, he picked up his skirt and ran down.
