Chapter 186: New Year's Flavor
Xue Fei nodded and said, "I know, grandpa!" After Xue Fei listened to Old Lady Xue's teachings, he left Tinghui Pavilion, and Xue Fei went back to his room to sleep.
"Where is the right place to put this lantern, young master?" The New Year is getting closer and closer, the atmosphere of the New Year in the capital is getting stronger and stronger, and the Xue Mansion has also begun to prepare for the New Year.
Xue Fei took the couplet in his hand and looked at it, he looked at the red clothes and said, "Is there a lantern hanging at the gate?" ”
Hongyi said: "The gate has been hung for a long time, and now the courtyard gates of each courtyard are not hung." ”
Xue Fei put down the couplet in his hand, he picked up the lantern in Hongyi's hand and looked at it, he asked Hongyi: "Do we still have a lantern as big as this one?" ”
Hongyi thought for a moment and said, "The minions below are tying lanterns, I think they should be almost pierced!" ”
Xue Fei: "You go and get that, let's go to Tinghui Pavilion to hang it first, and then my grandmother will ask my father and mother, as for Qingluo and Aunt Fang, let's go to the rest of the place!" ”
After Xue Fei finished speaking, the red clothes went to the minions below to retrieve a few more lanterns, and Xue Fei came to the courtyard of Tinghui Pavilion with a few of them.
The vicinity of Tinghui Pavilion was swept clean, after all, the old lady Xue was old, and the subordinates were afraid that one would accidentally drop the old man again, so he was particularly attentive to the cleaning, Xue Fei said to the red clothes: "I'll go into the house to ask the old man for peace, you wait for me outside for a while, and then we'll hang the lantern later!" ”
Xue Fei took the red clothes to the outer room, and he walked into the old man's study by himself, "Grandpa, what are you doing?" Xue Fei walked into the study and saw that the old man was standing in front of the desk looking at something, and he asked this sentence.
Old Man Xue saw Xue Fei wearing a navy blue regular clothes, with silver-white fabrics on them, wearing the latest boots on his feet, and the jade crown on his head was also a good Hetian warm jade, he couldn't help but feel that Xue Fei was extraordinarily wealthy.
Old lady Xue looked at Xue Fei and said, "You don't go to the yamen to be an errand boy, what are you doing here?" ”
Xue Fei hehehe: "I arranged for people to be on errands in the 100 households, why don't I hang lanterns for you, should you praise me?" ”
Old lady Xue: "What are you praising for!" You monkey! The most lazy thing is to be lazy! After Xue Fei heard this, he immediately ran out of the room, and then he poked his head back at Old Lady Xue and said, "Grandpa, I'm going to go to the temple fair in a while, do you want to buy something?" I'll bring it back to you! ”
Old Lady Xue shook his head and said, "I won't buy anything, you can go by yourself!" After Xue Fei heard this, he left Old Lady Xue's courtyard, and he came to the courtyard gate with his red clothes and began to hang lanterns.
"Young master, be careful! Slow down! Xue Fei was hanging the lantern on the ladder, originally he wanted to hang it with light work, but then he thought that it would be better to hang it himself.
After Xue Fei hung up a lantern, he slowly walked down, and he said to the little guy, "Got it!" Xue Fei then moved the ladder to another place and began to hang the lanterns, and after hanging the lanterns of the Tinghui Pavilion, he began to go to the old lady's courtyard to hang them.
"The young master really loves to be lively!" Hedge and Lin Huiwei looked at the account book here, Lin Huiwei picked up the account book in his hand and smiled and said: "He grew up in the palace since he was a child, and he only returned home in the past few years, so he likes these very much, let's let him make trouble!" Besides, he is almost not at home at home all year round except for sleeping, so let him have a good time! ”
Lin Huiwei raised her head and looked at the hedge and said, "By the way, you let all the children under the age of sixteen in the house come out to be lively, and give them a piece or two of silver, and have a good New Year!" ”
The hedge was particularly happy to hear it, after all, she also came here when she was a child, and when she was the next person's favorite New Year's Day, the master's family paid her salary, she saluted Lin Huiwei and said, "Thank you, master!" ”
Here, Xue Fei has already hung all the yards where the lanterns should be hung, except for Xue Qingluo and Aunt Fang's yard, he took the little maid to Xue Qingluo's yard, and as for the red clothes, he asked him to go to Nanhua Lane to give silver to the brothers on duty.
After Xue Fei looked at the courtyard where Aunt Fang lived, he first hung the lantern for Aunt Fang, and then Xue Fei hung the lantern for Xue Qingluo, the place where Aunt Fang and Xue Qingluo lived was very close, and Aunt Fang and Xue Qingluo came out one after another after hanging the lantern.
Xue Fei had already finished hanging the lantern, he saw Aunt Fang first, and he saluted Aunt Fang: "Auntie! Aunt Fang turned sideways to avoid Xue Fei's salute, after all, Aunt Fang was just a concubine, and Xue Fei was a concubine.
Xue Fei said to Aunt Fang: "It's almost the New Year, I'll hang lanterns for my aunt and sister, I'm going to go to the temple fair in a while, I don't know what my sister and aunt need?" ”
Xue Qingluo looked at Xue Fei and said, "I want snacks on the street, can my eldest brother buy them for me?" ”
Xue Fei: "The snacks on the street are a little unclean, you better not eat them, so I'll let the kitchen make you some fresh snacks, do you think it's okay?" "Xue Qingluo got the news, and she didn't feel good.
Xue Fei looked at Xue Qingluo's disappointed look and said, "It is said that you girls like to eat sweet, I will ask the kitchen to make you sugar gourds and some sweet pastries for you in a while, what do you think?" ”
Xue Qingluo was very happy to hear this, Xue Fei explained to Aunt Fang: "There are many people on the street, I am afraid that Qingluo will be hurt if she goes out, so I won't take her out today, auntie, I'll go first!" After speaking, Xue Fei left the place.
Xue Fei then asked the kitchen to cook something for Xue Qingluo, and when the things were delivered to Xue Qingluo's hands, Aunt Fang happened to be there, Aunt Fang looked at Xue Qingluo and said, "Your brother is still very good to you!" ”
Xue Qingluo ate the sugar gourd in her hand and said, "I know! I know a young lady of the Wang family, her brother is either gambling or going to a bad place, his father also wants the sister of the Wang family to get married, take the bride price money to her brother, and the eldest brother is different, and can make money, martial arts are good, and there is an official position, and he is very good to my aunt and me, and Mrs. and father are also very good to us. ”
Aunt Fang nodded and said, "Yes, the old lady and the young master are very good to us, so you also have to get along with your eldest brother well, and you can marry a good family in the future!" ”。
Xue Fei took Ah Jiu to the temple fair, "Sell rice balls!" "Sell fish, sell fish!" "Lanterns, sell flower lanterns!"
There were all kinds of things at the temple fair, Xue Fei and Ah Jiu and a few little guys were dazzled, Xue Fei said to Ah Jiu, "What do you want to buy?" ”
