On Chinese New Year's Eve, every family kept the New Year, and on this day, Li Guolou wrote Spring Festival couplets to the servants in the house, the old mother, the family ding, and Goshha, as long as they could talk to any lady, they would send a message to the inner mansion, Li Guolou was like working on an assembly line, transcribing a couplet around the desk in the morning, and sending it outside, busy, and busy old mothers could get two happy coins when they sent out a couplet

The couplets are all ready-made, Xie Xiuzhu has already copied a copy, and Li Guolou copied it without much effort

Xie Xiuzhu smiled and said: "Xiaolou also wants to post Spring Festival couplets at home, you write a good pair to catch up with the Ming Jingshi, and it will spread."

"Okay, while I'm not old, I'll leave more ink treasures, and find a knife catcher in the future," Li Guolou was covered with ink and swayed freely

Book:

In the sound of thunderclaps, the old years were divided into the burning of green bamboo

"Taitu" Xie Xiuzhu shook her head, thinking that a pair of Spring Festival couplets was not intentional

Li Guolou wrote again:

The sound of the explosion in the sky was boiling all night, and the voice was knocking on the board

The spring cow hugged the patrol Mo and went to Ruilin to shadow the panhuan

Xie Xiuzhu said: "It's inappropriate, this is Jingshi"

Li Guolou glanced at Xie Xiuzhu, which made his talent dry up, and he was born with white hair and books:

Fire trees and silver flowers bloom on the flyover and dragon lantern dance

**People are reunited, drunk, and singing

The wanderer folds Mei Jiaoyan's heroic sword

Forbidden sleepless night, agricultural altar Mo Gengchun

"Well, this is the slave who found a good husband and wrote all the fun places in Jingshi," Xie Xiuzhu hugged Li Guolou's lips and took the initiative to come up

Wu Peipei said approvingly: "Xiaolou, as soon as your couplet comes out, you will compare the champion Gong Hongjun to the literati and the scholars, how can you think of Mo Gengchun, you will take me to drink the wedding wine?"

"Okay, my sister Peipei, don't be angry and cry when the time comes, the literati's mouths are very cheap, they want to give the champion public face, don't dare to play the courtesan, they will put their fire on you," Li Guolou seemed to see the wedding banquet, and the above scholars made a lot of nonsense

"Then I'd better stay at home, I'm still playing cards with my sister," Wu Peipei picked up the couplet and wanted to stick it outside the door so that passers-by could take a look, she was looking for her husband, and she was a great talent, and the first couplet in Beijing this year was obtained by her family

After writing more than 100 couplets, Li Guolou breathed a sigh of relief, today's tasks are all completed, and the next thing is to play in the ice and snow, the trees in the courtyard are covered with frost, Li Guolou walks in the courtyard, and circles in the yard

A little Lingti is interested in knowing and knowing who the owner is behind Li Guolou, and the smart animal knows who the owner is

"Lingling come here," Li Lingling ordered in the corridor with a milky voice

Xiao Lingti snorted a few times, ignored the master's call, and continued to follow Li Guolou

"Dad, this dog is not good, I don't want it anymore," Li Lingling felt very shameless and complained to Li Guolou

Chen Xiangfang raised her voice: "Silly boy, this is a female dog, of course she revolves around your father."

Standing in front of the door and window, several ladies sneered and laughed, Li Guolou said angrily: "What does the eldest lady say during the New Year, this is called genetic Lingling, father and mother are my subordinates, of course listen to my orders."

"Oh, I listen to my father," Li Lingling was ignorant, and believed that the person was Li Guolou

Li Guolou stroked Li Lingling's little head and said: "Lingling can't pet Lingling, then you have to abolish Lingling's martial arts, and let Ma Da crotch train Lingling, and Lingling can help you catch birds, rabbits, and foxes."

Li Lingling raised her head and said very seriously: "Mom and Dad said that Mrs. Fourteen is a fox spirit, did you catch it?"

Li Guolou looked at the door, Chen Xiangfang, Chen Xiangfang snorted, and hid her figure, Xie Xiuzhu said coquettishly: "Yes, Lingling, there are two fox spirits at home, they are a litter of sisters and sisters, are you right?"

"Yes, Dad, like Wu Song, specializes in catching fox spirits, Lingling, you go and look at the mirror in the second lady's room, and you will know what kind of life you are," Wu Yingzi was even deceived and confused, as if telling the secrets of the world

"I don't believe it, my father is a retired Jingshi, the fourth son, the third is not a fox spirit Taoist," Li Lingling is a little ghost, as if she knows everything, and she has already hid behind Li Guolou, saying that she doesn't follow the ancient mirror in the second mother's room

"Don't bring your daughter badly, all mothers must know how to be knowledgeable, our family is a family of great goodness, a hundred years of trees, ten years of people, and the burden of educating the next generation, you have on your shoulders, benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and faith are the basic principles of life, you must stick to your faith, and you will go to worship together tomorrow."

"Yes, master, we understand," Yingying and Yanyan made a blessing together, bowed their heads and confessed their mistakes to Li Guolou

Li Guolou looked around, most of the family members were born in the lower nine ranks, did not understand the importance of human ethics and the five constants, and changed these greedy and wealthy women into virtuous and virtuous women, and Li Guolou looked forward to cultivating the ladies into well-known ladies and wealthy family members, all of whom were great and good people

Chen Xiangfang knew that he could change his mistake and walked with Li Guolou as a wife, and his family looked dignified, incense to the ancestors, and it was a family tradition to pay tribute to their ancestors, their family believed in Catholicism, joined the Manchus, and now celebrated the traditional Spring Festival, and various religious beliefs were integrated together, nondescript, and engaged in various memorial activities

In the Spring Festival, every day is gluttonous food, there is no memory of bitter and sweet, lunch is to eat Western food, eat less at noon, eat and drink a lot at night, Li Guolou sat on the main seat, a glance at the tableware, all the tableware is brand new silver tableware

"Where did you buy this from Seventh Madam," Li Guolou asked curiously

"There is no sale outside, I ordered the price from the American businessman to keep it secret, and I don't talk about money during the Spring Festival." Zhen Yuhuan was afraid that Li Guolou would take an ideological and moral class and not give Li Guolou a chance to get to the bottom of it

"I'm too lazy to ask, are you and the second lady ready to congratulate me, don't embarrass me in the palace," Li Guolou cared about his wife's entry into the palace to celebrate the spring, and the two queen mothers would listen to the play, play various small games, and reward gold melon seeds to the royal relatives and daughters

"I have already prepared it, I made eight pairs of embroidered shoes for the two queen mothers, I will show them to you," Zhen Yuhuan glanced at Xie Xiuzhu, and her competitors could only embroider handkerchiefs, embroidered pillows, and a bag of grass, which was much worse than her

Xie Xiuzhu said: "Xiaolou's hands are blistered to a heart"

"Well, it's good, it's not sloppy, put the embroidered shoes in the living room, I'll see it later," Li Guolou took a sip, Biluochun looked around, and the ladies behaved appropriately and conformed to diplomatic etiquette

The cutlery was carefully placed without making a screeching sound, and the noblewoman was soft-spoken, pretentious, and learned to smile at Yelia

Li Guolou said: "Seventh Lady, I want to eat pig's head meat at night, and in the future, the priests and ancestors will not put the three animals, learn from Westerners, light candles, and hold a memorial service."

Chen Xiangfang put down the fork and said: "Xiaolou pays tribute to the ancestors, it is a traditional virtue, the family is afraid of this, and the children are afraid of that, can they still kill the enemy and serve the country, those banner people's children will faint when they see the chicken, they are really ashamed of their ancestors."

"Oh, yes, let's put the three animals, the fourth lady will get used to it if you look at it more," Li Guolou said

Zhen Yuhuan pouted and said: "Xiaolou pig's head meat can be served, but you are not allowed to eat pig's head, it's too terrifying, you still don't let us live."

Li Guolou replied: "What's this, the third lady Wutang just eats like this, it's delicious to cut meat with a small silver knife."

"Well, there are Qing characteristics, it's delicious," Yelia cocked his thumb, and took a big step in life, daring to cut meat on a pig's head and eat it

Li Lingling said coquettishly: "Please raise your hand if you don't agree to vote by show of hands"

Angry, even the old mother raised her hand, but there were only four people who didn't raise their hands, Wanniang and Wu Yingzi belonged to Li Guolou's alliance

Wu Yingzi laughed and said: "What is this, the priest in our hall still eats the pig's head after Zhu Bajie, and it is not wasted at all."

"That's eating me," Li Guolou said with a smile, thinking that his portrait was now hanging in the brothel

"Giggles, giggles", the West Flower Hall laughed wildly, there was no aptitude, reserved, leaning forward and applauding, this family has a lot of jokes, which are spread by the people, which makes people have mixed reviews

Li Lingling didn't understand the joke, but she also followed the smirk, such a young child can already act, and everyone in the big family is a play

In the afternoon, the energetic lady made up a card table, just a table of mahjong, a table of cards, last night was exhausted, the lady went back to the room to sleep, Li Guolou went back to the room to sleep alone, Chinese New Year's Eve to keep the year, tonight is another sleepless night

Chu Xiangyu won more and lost less when playing cards, and the ladies believed that she stole cards, so as long as there were enough people, she was not allowed to go to the card table, only let her fly and enjoy it, and the same is true today, Chu Xiangyu sat next to Chen Xiangfang and watched others play cards

Chen Xiangfang said while playing cards: "Sixth lady, we are Catholics, don't go around worshipping the Buddha and begging for children, it's not good to let Xiaolou know, you must know that Xiaolou has offended the monks all over the world, which temple Bodhisattva do you say will bless you with an early birth of a noble son?"

Chu Xiangyu puffed up and said: "You all have fun, I don't have it, of course I rushed to the doctor in a hurry."

"What's the hurry, take your time, this is like grinding tofu, you have to master the heat, Mrs. Six, you are still young, you meet a monk who cheats money and sex, what do you say," Wu Yingzi typed out a chicken, and there was no good word in his mouth

Chu Xiangyu stood up angrily and said, "Hmph, you all bully me, I'll tell Xiaolou to go" After speaking, Chu Xiangyu pulled out his legs and walked out, going to complain to Li Guolou

There were bursts of laughter in the living room, and Chu Xiangyu didn't take it seriously, but the threshold was very fine, and Chu Xiangyu went to have fun with Li Guolou alone

"Hey, it's hard to be a good person, I'm telling the truth, big lady, you say yes," Wu Yingzi looked at Chen Xiangfang with a playful expression, and didn't say anything in her words

"Touch" Chen Xiangfang shouted: "Twelfth lady, I know that you are kind to this kind of thing, there are many big families, and the sixth lady can not listen to her, go with her, her father does not call Bao to pinch to death male thieves and female prostitutes, a nest is to light a lamp, whether you have heard Xiaolou say that the surname Yu is dead, he is very sad, the entrance of the elder brother's hall was destroyed, no matter what he does, I will say the same thing"

Wu Yingzi said in a low voice: "There are eldest ladies and seventh ladies to take care of the house, this family is solid, but it is not enough······ Those foreign women have to rely on self-discipline."

"Well, the foreign mother-in-law's appetite is a scourge sooner or later," Xie Xiuzhu didn't forget to add, she looked forward to the foreign mother-in-law's red apricot coming out of the wall, and it was really annoying that there were too many women in a family

"I have my own measure, you can see, okay" Chen Xiangfang rushed out to give Wu Peipei a deck of cards, she didn't mind the gains and losses, just a thought, she wanted to win a big deck

Chu Xiangyu walked all the way, her face was extremely ugly, although she had not yet reached the point of no return, but she had already given birth to ambiguous feelings, what should I do, Chu Xiangyu stood behind the rockery, thought about it again and again, and made up her mind to poison the hearts of women in the world, since she killed her first love, Liang Chaoda, she would kill her with her hands and feet

Chu Xiangyu didn't go to find Li Guolou, but stepped out of the Li Mansion compound and went to the Li Mansion next door to look for gold and silver

"Jin Erzi come out, I have something to look for you," Chu Xiangyu shouted very affectionately, a silver ticket was stuffed into the gold and silver in his hand, and he whispered a complaint against the Void Monk of the Reclining Buddha Temple for bad her reputation

Jin Yinlai pricked up his ears and listened with a sneer: "The sixth lady is a trivial matter, I won't accept this money, you take it back, otherwise the lord thinks that I was bought by you, don't cry, just treat it as if nothing happens, and coax the master to go back happily during the New Year."

Jin Yinlai sent Chu Xiangyu back, and Zhang Haojie poked his head out of the house and asked, "What is the matter with the second son and the sixth lady of Jin?"

"I don't have time to go to Yipintang to practice my craft, can you go?" asked Jin Yinlai

"The ······ of the Chinese New Year" Zhang Haojie hesitated

"Smack" Jin Yinlai slapped Zhang Haojie's head and said angrily: "Don't be a villain, we are the master, raise the fierce spirit, we don't go to hell, whoever goes to hell goes, I didn't go to visit the Reclining Buddha Temple in the afternoon, just ask your lady for a mother and son safety sign"

Zhang Haojie spied on the movement outside the door and said in a low voice: "It's really back, I don't know if this girl is planted in her stomach or not, you said that if it is Lei Heng, I won't be a cheap dad."

"Shhhh

"I understand, I won't say such bastard words again," Zhang Haojie drank a drop of wine in the wine cup, and he already understood

Zhang Haojie went into the house to change his clothes, and said to his wife, "Aunt Xiu, I and Jin Erzi will go to the Reclining Buddha Temple to burn incense for you, and ask for a mother and son to sign a safe sign, and come back for dinner in the evening."

Xiu Gu kindly looked at Zhang Haojie and said: "Husband, thank you, go early and return early" After speaking, Xiu Gu patted the dust on Zhang Haojie's clothes for him, like a loving couple

Xiugu is one of the more than 200 female prisoners of war in the Elders' Association, Li Guolou made these female prisoners of war all become Li Ziying soldiers' wives in accordance with the unspoken rules of the Qing army, and all of them were paired overnight

Xiu Gu stood at the gate of the compound to send Zhang Haojie to the door, thinking that Zhang Haojie was kind to her, she stroked her stomach and said to herself: "When my son grows up, I will avenge my mother and kill Zuo Zongtang"

Xiugu thinks that she is a chaste martyr, has a tenacious spirit, buries her bitter hatred in her heart, Li Guolou is the master, there is nothing good or bad, that night was tragically ravaged by Zhang Haojie, it was a spring dream, the husband worked diligently for the master, and let her live a happy life

Xiu Gu lit three incense sticks and kowtowed: "God bless Li Guolou's whole family to be 100 years old."
