Chapter 174: Housewarming
Most people in this world don't want to do things that are charcoal in the snow, but they all like to put the icing on the cake. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Lu Xin became the deacon of the Lu Valve, and Xiahou Ba promoted him to the rank of Zhongshu Shilang. Immediately afterwards, Archdeacon Lu Xiu personally went to Lu Xin's house and told him that he had prepared a house for his family in Luobei and asked him to move over quickly.
Lu Xin didn't want to move in such a hurry, after all, he was only a temporary deacon, but Lu Xiu said that this was what the lord meant. Whether he is a temporary generation or not, he is already a deacon of the land valve, how can he still live in Luonan and make people laugh?
Lu Xin couldn't refuse, so he had to agree to move, but now he was busy taking over the accounting institute, and he was also on an errand with the middle book province, so he was busy hitting the back of his head, and he didn't have time to pay attention to these family matters. So the task of moving fell on the family.
Actually, it was mainly Lu Ying who was busy. Lu Xiang was dragged by relatives and friends to eat and drink to celebrate all day long, while Lu Yun was busy practicing literature and martial arts, and he had to go to Xiaozhulin every other day to take a class, so he didn't have time to worry about it at all. Fortunately, Lu Ying has grown a lot, and took a few maids and guards to clean up the new house, and gave the packing carts that should be transported from Shanfang's belongings to the neighbors if they were not needed, and went to the market to buy a lot of new things, but she was also busy but not chaotic.
And there are many things to pay attention to when entering the house, such as when clearing the house, not only to clean the new house, but also to use pine and cypress branches dipped in salt water and glutinous rice, scattered all over the house, in order to clear out the unclean things. For another example, a string of copper coins should be wrapped in red silk and placed on the rice bucket of the new house to show that they can have enough food and clothing after moving in.
Also, you can use old things in the new house, but the pillows and chopsticks must be new. And also hide a string of money under the pillow, a peace charm begged for in the Taoist temple...... There are also details such as the new home to post couplets, and the water tank to be filled with water, although it is not a big deal, but the places to worry about are indeed trivial and numerous.
Originally, Lu Song and the three of them wanted to use a little free time to help Lu Ying fight. But when I came to take a look, Lu Ying handled everything in an orderly manner, and there was no need for others to worry about it at all. There was even time to make a delicious meal for these three living treasures. I didn't help, but I ate and drank, which made the three of them very embarrassed.
Lu Ying worked for five or six days, and then prepared the new home in Luobei, and the next day was the auspicious day of the zodiac, and the family moved out of Luonan. When leaving Congshanfang, the neighbors poured out their nests to send each other, surrounded the family inside and outside the three layers in the middle, and reluctantly offered their blessings.
They are really convinced, the children and grandchildren of the old owner are too successful, not only the son has become the deacon of this valve, but the grandson has also become a candidate for next year's big competition, and Feihuang Tengda is just around the corner. Everyone knew that this family would definitely not live in Luonan for a long time, but when it was really time to separate, they still felt that it was too sudden, and many people shed tears and cried around the old owner.
Lu Xiang was originally hurt by these neighbors, and even on such a big happy event as his son becoming a deacon of this valve, he didn't want to put wine to celebrate. But after being invited by them to a banquet for a while, my heart had already softened, and at this moment, my eyes were red, and I choked up to the neighbors: "It's not far away, I will come back often." After a pause, he shouted to everyone: "When you settle down, I will invite everyone to have a good meal!" ”
"I'm definitely going to congratulate the old owner on his housewarming." All the neighbors nodded one after another, and said with a half-truthful smile: "I'm afraid that the threshold of the old owner's house will be too high, and we won't be able to enter it." ”
"What kind of is this," Lu Xiangping hated the word 'snobbery' the most in his life, and almost everyone around him was more or less contaminated with this habit. He rolled his eyes and said in a loud voice: "No matter where I live, my Lu Xiang will never change!" As he spoke, he couldn't help but take out the posture of the owner, and reprimanded the people who had just spoken: "A few of you will also change this problem in the future, others have not practiced you, and you have practiced yourself first!" ”
Everyone was submissive for a while, and when they listened to the old owner's long reprimand in the past, they always felt very nagging, but at this moment they all wished he could say a few more words. They knew very well that no matter what Lu Xiang said now, it would be difficult to see the old owner and his family again in the future.
Everyone sent it again and again, until it was sent to Luoshui Bridge, and then they stopped, waved their hands and watched Lu Xiang's carriage slowly go up the bridge. Lu Xiang poked his head out of the carriage and kept waving to everyone, until the carriage got off the bridge and Luo Nan could no longer be seen, he retracted his body and sat in the car in a daze, looking sad without saying a word.
If you are not born in this hierarchical world, it is difficult to understand Lu Xiang and the neighbors, this feeling of life and death. Although Luonan and Luobei are only separated by a river, they are two worlds in heaven and underground, and the underground world can only always look up at the sky and imagine the world in the sky. Although the people of heaven occasionally look down at the earth, they will never want to go back.
。
The family's new home is in Jingxin Fang, which is next to Lu Jianfang, and it is only two families away from the original Lu Jian's house. When the carriage passed by Lu Jian's house, Lu Yun looked at the sealed gate through the curtain of the car, and there was not much pleasure in his heart, but he secretly woke up to himself, and he must be more careful in the future, because once he is defeated, the whole family will be implicated.
Before Lu Yun could change his mind, he was alarmed by the noise outside the car. When I lifted the curtain, I saw that in front of my new house, there were 100 people standing densely, and these people were waiting with their necks long, and when they saw their carriage coming, they shouted happily: "Coming, coming!" Hurry up and set off firecrackers! ”
Someone lit the firecrackers that had been prepared a long time ago, and in the crackling sound of firecrackers, red confetti exploded all over the ground, and the scene suddenly became joyful.
As soon as the firecrackers stopped, the gongs and drums started again. Amid the noisy sound of gongs and drums, a team of lion dancers stepped on firecracker paper all over the ground, and danced the lion in high spirits in front of the family's carriage.
Looking at the two big lions and the little lion outside, dancing happily, Lu Yun was a little stunned, looked at Lu Ying and said, "You still arranged this?" ”
"Am I that vulgar?!" Lu Ying covered her forehead helplessly, and kicked Lu Yun on her toes: "I haven't even revealed the day of moving, who knows what's going on." ”
"Hehe," Lu Xiang was not surprised, pulled his beard, and said with a lot of emotion: "Your father is now in a high position, so naturally some people care." These people didn't know where to find out that we moved today, and they came to congratulate us. ”
The old man is right, when the drum beat is dense like rain, the two lions stand side by side, and a piece of red satin falls from their mouths at the same time, which respectively reads 'Arbor Dense Shade Migration Ying Valley', 'Qionglou Autumn Cool to Toad Palace', two auspicious words to congratulate the housewarming.
At this time, a group of clansmen rushed to the front of the car, said auspicious words, and welcomed the family out of the car.
"Second uncle, you have finally moved back!" A middle-aged man with a somewhat similar appearance to Lu Xin excitedly gave a big gift to Lu Xiang, he was Lu Xiang's own nephew and Lu Tong's eldest son Lu Pang. The two families have not been in contact for many years, and seeing the second uncle's family flourishing, he finally couldn't sit still, so he took this opportunity to come over.
There is a way to stretch out his hand and not hit the smiling person, although Lu Xiang is not big, but he didn't show Lu Pang's face, nodded in response, and greeted a group of peers who came to greet him. These people have been neighbors with Lu Xiang for many years, but since Lu Xiang moved to Luonan, they have almost no contact.
When Lu Xin's family returned to Beijing, few of them were present when Lu Xiang invited guests, but all of them were uninvited at this time. Huddled around and landed to greet the cold, looking like he was happy for him in his heart.
