Chapter 108: The First Appearance
"Would you like to try it?" Wu Ning's abrupt remark made Taiping stunned for a while.
Hiding from the sparks that collapsed, he forgot to answer for a while.
......
In the palace, there are eunuchs and palace maids, and she has always watched from afar, and it is the first time that she has been immersed like this. It's so lively, and I never thought of it.
At this time, Wu Ning handed over the bamboo branch, Taiping hesitated, but still took it, but the heat wave was rolling but he didn't dare to get too close.
I tried his hand a few times by the fire, but I still didn't throw it in.
Wu Ning looked funny from the sidelines, and said in his heart, what about the noble girls in the palace? Isn't it clumsy too?
finally saw Taiping send the bamboo branches into the fire, and the enthusiasm in Wu Ning's heart also reached its peak.
"It's New Year!!"
He threw the broken shoes and clothes in his hand into the fire.
With a pop, sparks gradually rose again, and the frightened Taiping shrank his head.
"Yikes!!"
Then I found that there seemed to be nothing wrong, so I started to play with it and threw out my old shoes and clothes.
"It's the New Year!"
......
"Chinese New Year!!!
A group of villagers in the col also threw their old shoes and clothes into the fire, and the children coaxed, not to mention the excitement of the New Year, even Wu Ning was in his previous life, it was difficult to enjoy.
......
This is the custom of the Tang Dynasty, the same clan gathers fire, which means that the coming year will be reunited and prosperous.
Throwing old shoes and clothes into the fire is to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, praying for peace.
This year, whether it is a charcoal factory or a vegetable field, there is a big progress, and every family has made new clothes, and the old shoes and old clothes are naturally thrown away a lot more than in previous years.
Of course, this is just the beginning.
After a while, the fire of the New Year's pile will fall, and everyone will take the burned clothes and shoes ashes back to the house and bury them in the courtyard, implying that the family will produce the descendants of the officials.
Each family will also take the fire from the New Year's pile and take it home, and light a "garden fire" in the courtyard.
At that time, an old broom will be burned, which means that the warehouse will be worth it in the coming year.
......
After being lively with his brothers of the same clan for a while, Wu Ning picked up a piece of half-burned firewood and prepared to go back to light the fire.
Taiping was already crazy, and he was a little reserved at first, but later, he had already held hands with the children in the col and danced around the New Year.
This also made Wu Ning sigh.
In the later generations, when the economy took off, people only focused on immediate interests, but forgot that our ancestors were also good at singing and dancing.
They would never have imagined that we were once like our African brothers, and we could jump for a long time with a bunch of fires.
"Gone, gone!!"
Wu Ning greeted Taiping.
You see that this child is pitiful, he has grown up so big, and he probably hasn't been so presumptuous. After a while, the hem of the newly changed dress was already full of mud.
"Let's go, come out again at night."
Taiping was reluctant, but he still obediently chased Wu Ning.
"Give it to me!"
snatched half of the firewood from Wu Laojiu's hand and waved it with a giggle.
Wu Ning couldn't help laughing, and said in his heart: ......
What about me?
Do I prefer more of a carefree life like this, or do I prefer more of a high-minded life like Taiping?
......
All the way home with laughter and laughter, before I reached the door of the house, I saw a large group of people coming up from the mountain.
Taiping, who was having a good time, couldn't help but stagnate, looking at the mountain down.
Wu Ning stepped forward and took the half of the firewood, "Your imperial brother came early." ”
As he spoke, he entered the courtyard alone and went to set the court alive.
As for greeting Li Xian, it was a matter of peace.
......
——————————
Actually, Li Xian didn't want to come so early, but it was really boring to stay in the palace, plus Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi came from the pavilion early to congratulate.
When he thought about it, staring at the palace was also staring, it was better to call the Taiping Imperial Sister, and everyone would stare together.
So, after ordering Tingliao in the palace, Li Xian took the family and the Wu brothers out of the city.
However, Li Xian never expected that this Taiping Imperial Sister would ...... Why did you become a village girl?
As soon as I got off the sedan chair, I saw Taiping standing there dirty, almost unrecognizable.
"I've seen the Imperial Brother!"
"I've seen the imperial sister-in-law!"
Okay, Taiping opened his mouth, and Li Xiancai was finally confirmed, this is my sister.
"Imperial sister, this is ....."
Before he finished speaking, Taiping, who had not yet eased up, had already stepped forward, holding Li Xian on one side and Princess Wei on the other.
"Brother Huang is here, this mountain village is much more interesting for the New Year than we are in the capital."
Li Xian was obviously not very adaptable, and looked sour, "Slow down, you slow down!" The court is public, there are no rules and rules, what kind of system is it? ”
Taiping raised his eyebrows and stopped.
"Then you can let the queen mother cure my sin."
After speaking, he continued to carry Li Xian to the courtyard.
I saw Li Xian crying and laughing and turned his head to complain to Wei Shi: "This is my imperial sister, she was like this when she was a child, and it hasn't changed at all." ”
Concubine Wei had to laugh, and was pulled by Taiping, but she hid intentionally or unintentionally. She was afraid that Taiping's mud would stain her dress, and her face was even more disgusted.
Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi, who were behind him, also had disdain. A dignified princess, a royal model, how can she be so vulgar?
The difference is only visible and not noticeable.
However, several of Li Xian's children didn't react when they looked at their aunt like this, and one of them, a five- or six-year-old girl with hammerheads, hid behind a teenager and peeked timidly.
The heart said: How did my aunt become a mud doll?
......
——————————
Although Wu Ning didn't come out, everything outside the hospital was in his eyes.
Taiping's seemingly nonsensical behavior helped Wu Ning have a preliminary understanding of these imperial relatives.
The first is Li Xian. Wu Ning had seen him once five years ago, and now he doesn't feel the same as he did five years ago. is still a sour and cowardly state, and he is still a good man.
There is no pretense about Taiping, at least when Taiping leans up, Li Xian's eyes have true feelings and memories.
Princess Wei is a bit fake, she dislikes Taiping and is dirty, but she doesn't dare to show it, and she has to pretend to be affectionate.
This is also normal, five years have passed with trepidation, and you don't know when Empress Wu will take the life of her family as soon as she turns her face, and no one has to be careful.
Empress Wei, who is even more ruthless than Taiping in later generations, at least has to pretend to be pitiful for now.
......
The last two should be Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi.
To be honest, the first impression of these two people on Wu Ning was not the same as expected.
Originally, Wu Ning thought that Wu Sansi's city government was deeper than Wu Chenghei.
Whether listening to Sibo's description or listening to Taiping's description, Wu Sansi is a sociable character who is both left and right.
But when I saw it with my own eyes, it didn't seem to be like that.
Regarding Taiping's faux pas, Wu Chengsi didn't have too many expressions, as if he didn't care about himself.
However, Wu Sansi was obviously frowning, and the potential line was that he was very dissatisfied with this new ally.
......
Having said that, Taiping did have some gaffes, but the performance of these four people, in Wu Ning's opinion, was not up to par.
You know, no matter which one of them is, they will all be dancing characters in the future!
It can only be said that the talents of the Tang Dynasty have withered, and after Wu Zetian, only one Li Longji is left.
The others, one counts as one, it can only be a horse, otherwise Datang's good game of chess will not let them play like a bear.
Seeing that everyone had already entered the courtyard, Wu Ning hurriedly got up from the edge of the courtyard and stepped aside.
In their eyes, Wu Laojiu is just a small person in a small shop in the mountains, and it is not yet time for him to show his face.
It is true, even if Taiping deliberately introduced Wu Ning to everyone.
"This is the young shopkeeper who is looking for Cuiju......"
"Hmm." Li Xian only hummed while looking at the chic courtyard.
glanced at Wu Ning for a moment, and didn't recognize that the two had a relationship five years ago.
Concubine Wei and Wu Sansi didn't even look at Wu Laojiu.
However, Wu Chengsi listened to Taiping's words, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"You are Wu Ning?"
Wu Ning arched his hand, "It's down." ”
"Huh." Wu Chengsi laughed dryly, "It's the Wu Ning who was rewarded by the Holy Queen and beaten again, right?" ”
"Uh...."
Wu Ning was embarrassed, what do you hate? Which pot is not opened, which pot is mentioned.
saw Wu Chengsi turn around and look at Wu Changlu, who was on duty behind the team.
"Wu Beijia, this is your nephew, right?"
"Not bad! A table of talents, the future will become the atmosphere. ”
praised a word, but didn't say more, put his hands behind his back, and looked around at the small courtyard of the Wu family.
But Wu Chengsi's sentence drew the attention of Li Xian, Concubine Wei and Wu Sansi.
"Oh?" Li Xian was suspicious, "It turned out to be Wu Beijia's nephew, but this king has lost his investigation." ”
Wu Sansi even walked to Wu Ning's side, and actually patted Wu Ning on the shoulder, "Good boy, there are not many young talents who can make the Holy Queen have rewards and punishments, do you have to cherish them?" ”
When Wu Ning heard this, he rolled his eyes secretly, it was an afterthought for fried cold rice!
glanced at Wu Chengsi deeply, and said in his heart, this is really not simple!
The first sentence that Wu Chengsi and Wu Ning said was "the holy queen was rewarded and punished".
It shows that this person is farther and more detailed than Wu Sansi and Li Xian. At least every decree issued by the Empress Wu has been memorized by him and he has pondered it.
And the second sentence to the fourth uncle is to win people's hearts. It is equivalent to telling the fourth uncle, I remember everything in your family.
Only this one is remembered, and it is a great favor.
On the other hand, Li Xian is concerned about Wu Changlu's nephews.
Because he knew that when Empress Wu ascended the throne, it was likely to be the time when he was promoted to the king of Chu. Wu Changlu is his subordinate, so he naturally has to care about it.
And Wu Sansi cared about different from Li Xian, he heard the sentence that the holy queen rewarded and punished, and he cared about the thoughts of the holy queen.
Both of them are afterthoughts, and neither of them is thoughtful as Wu Chenghe.
It can be said that the judgment is made from above.
However, Wu Ning couldn't figure it out, Wu Chengsi seemed to be the earliest of the three to die, right?
Smart people die faster?
What is the truth?
Don't?
Wu Ning sighed in his heart, could it be that Mrs. Wu likes to be stupid?
......
————————————
The more I think about this idea, the more Wu Ning feels like it.
sighed that the old lady Wu was the master here, and it was best not to become an enemy with this old lady. Otherwise, Wu Ning was really not sure that he would be able to get a favor from Old Lady Wu.
......
However, at this time, he was not allowed to think so much, and everyone came in, so he had to hurry up.
Fortunately, Li Xian is a decent person, and the kitchen people have to be brought by the palace, and they definitely don't look down on the countrymen.
Wu Ning was happy to be idle, just connecting one or two on the side, saving the people of the palace and not knowing where to put it.
However, it was too peaceful, and while Li Xian and the Wu brothers were not paying attention, they found Wu Ning.
"What are you going to do? Really going to take the risk? ”
Wu Ning was surprised, wasn't Her Royal Highness the princess quite relaxed just now? Why do you turn your face and worry about it again?
"I'm pretending!" Taiping blushed.
Lowered his head and muttered in a low voice, "I was scared for a while, but I forgot about ......"
Wu Ningle was happy, "What are you afraid of?" All right. ”
"So what's next?"
What to do next, Wu Ning also has to think about it.
In fact, the best situation is that Li Xian recognized him as soon as he entered the door, so Wu Ning could also take advantage of the situation and continue to act, completely clearing up the things of the year.
However, in order to prevent Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi, Wu Ning was "disfigured" again, so it could only be more troublesome.
said to Taiping: "In a while, you invite your senior uncle and senior brother Meng over to celebrate the New Year together!" ”
"Huh!?"
Taiping exclaimed.
This.... This is too risky, right?
If it's just Wu Ning, maybe people don't think about it from the 'left-handed kendo man', but if you let Meng Cangsheng come, it's impossible not to think about it in that direction.
"Don't worry!" Wu Ning was still very calm, "I have already made arrangements. ”
After sending the peace, Wu Ning went through all the details from beginning to end carefully. Confirm that there are no mistakes, and then rest assured.
In fact, it is not difficult to completely clear up the relationship, as long as it is proved that Meng Cangsheng is not the Taoist priest with the left-handed sword.
The key question is how to prove it, and how not to get caught in the loophole.
......
As soon as he turned his face, Chef Luo squatted at the door of the stove room and pouted, and Li Wenbo was comforting him.
"What's going on?"
Chef Luo saw that it was the owner, but still pouted, "They...... They wouldn't let me into the kitchen!! ”
"No ......"
Wu Ning frowned and looked at Li Wenbo, "What's the situation?" ”
Li Wenbo also couldn't laugh or cry, and replied: "The cook in the palace occupied the stove room and didn't let Brother Luo in." ”
"Oh, if you don't let you in, you won't enter?"
"What's the matter!?" Chef Luo glared, "That's Lao Tzu's land, they occupy Lao Tzu's stove room, and they don't let Lao Tzu get started!?" ”
“......”
Wu Ning was speechless, why are you so axial? Why don't you let you cook, and you're still angry?
"Are you stupid?"
When Chef Luo heard this, he immediately replied, "You are stupid!" ”
"You're so stupid!!"
Wu Lao Jiu was angry, and pointed his finger at Raleigh's forehead, "It's not good for someone to help you do the work during the Chinese New Year?" ”
Raleigh didn't give an inch, "Then he did it, what did I do?" ”
"You're still a fart, go home and accompany your wife for the New Year!"
“......”
Chef Luo was stunned for a while, and then slapped his head, "Yes! ”
Rubbed and stood up, "Then I'll go with my mother!" ”
As he spoke, he walked away.
Wu Ning is also convinced, with this IQ, how did I get you back?
Turned his face to Li Wenbo and said, "I don't need you anymore, go home and accompany your parents!" ”
Li Wenbo didn't follow, "I'd better keep an eye on it, what if I can use us?" ”
"Forget it!"
Wu Ning waved his hand, "Don't go back to celebrate the New Year by yourself, call your father and mother, as well as Raleigh's mother and son, to Zujun's courtyard." This year, everyone spent it together, and it was more lively. ”
"Okay!" Li Wenbo also wanted to be lively, "Then I'll go to Zujun's side to see, where do you want to help." ”
"Go ahead."
Wu Ning sent Li Wenbo away, and as soon as he was free, he saw a teenager leading a little girl to the door of the stove room.
The young man arched his hand, quite polite, "Xiao Junlang, is there something to quench your thirst here?" ”
Pointing to the girl, "The little sister is thirsty, and she can't get used to drinking tea soup." ”
"Yes."
Wu Ning responded, looked at the little girl and smiled.
Tentatively asked: "Are you Li Bao'er?" ”
......
