Chapter 508: Chinese New Year
This year's New Year was very lively. The same is true in the street market, despite the economic downturn, people who have suffered for a year can only use the New Year festival to relieve the boredom of looking at the sun.
In Liu Yong's house, the food for the festival is more abundant than in previous years, and in the withering environment, the entire Lin'an Mansion is thriving in Liu Yong's house. The rest of the official eunuchs and merchants' families basically cut back on food and clothing. It's a bit serious, but it's a real situation.
For example, in the family of the right minister, this year's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner has a few fewer hard dishes. Even the Prime Minister's Mansion is like this, so tell me what other Mansions will be like.
Not to mention the official eunuchs and merchants, even the imperial palace this year is much inferior to previous years. The country's economic situation was not good, and the treasury was empty, so Emperor Rijong ordered that the menu of previous years be reduced by one-third.
Only Liu Yong's house has added vegetables this year. Because they have more people. Ma Miaozhen, Maria.
This is the most lively year Ma Miaozhen has had in recent years. In the past, in my mother-in-law's village, I spent it with my mother-in-law before the New Year. It's also lively, but there's always a sense of loneliness under the fence. One is that his parents and brothers are gone. Second, she is a widow without a husband. When it comes to the holidays, it is uncomfortable.
And this year is different, Ma Miaozhen has gained the marriage she dreams of the most, marrying a lover who has been dreaming of her for a long time. This year's one is different.
The same is true of Maria, who has never celebrated the New Year in the Great Song Dynasty. However, since coming to the Great Song Dynasty, she has fallen in love with this place, and she never wants to go back to dark Europe.
It's a place where you can eat, dress, live and have extremely beautiful scenery. Here, not only does she have Lena to serve her, but Liu Yong also specially assigned her a little maid to take care of her diet and daily life. Lena was much more relaxed. Now, Lena can also have some simple communication with other little girls.
Liu Yong watched more and more of his family members, and he was very proud. After crossing over, it was a scene he hadn't imagined.
Until today, things are also family, which can be described as a double harvest.
The family being together again is a moment that makes Liu Yong feel extremely happy. In the past three years, two years have been spent outside. Of course, Lin Qingrou and Zhang Xixi and Yingying Li Xinniang are not as lively as usual for the New Year at home.
This year can be described as the most important year for the group members. All the people are there, and a new home has been added. This is a good symbol, symbolizing that Liu Yong is about to form a family.
This year's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was eaten in the hall on the first floor, and the children ran to the yard to set off the cannon after eating. A short time later, the sound of crackling firecrackers was heard.
The sound of firecrackers raised the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the house by a large margin.
Zhang Xixi thought that she would not be idle, and took out her beloved piano to play and sing to help the fun. When Maria saw O'Zhang sing, she danced, and almost all European women at that time could dance.
For a while, there were songs, pianos and dances in this hall, which ignited the atmosphere again. Maria pulled Ouyang Lanlan up and danced together. A lady like Ouyang Lanlan usually doesn't dance in public. And today is a rare family together, and he jumps for joy.
I have to say that Ouyang Lanlan was born in the state capital, and she is really good at singing and dancing! Her graceful figure, dancing, is really beautiful. And Mary's house was more rough and passionate.
Liu Yong watched and clapped his hands. What a blissful night!
However, the years passed quickly. Waiting for Mary to finish the Shangyuan Festival, Liu Yong will be ready to pull out.
The Shangyuan Festival in Lin'an Mansion is even more lively than the New Year. Once again, Maria appreciated the beauty of the Great Song Dynasty. The lanterns, dragon dances, and fireworks of this one are dizzying to watch. I'm going to pass out with excitement.
Oh, Da Song, I love you to death.
The lively Shangyuan Festival has also passed, and the entire Lin'an Mansion has returned to its previous quietness, which actually gives people a feeling of loss.
But in Liu Yong's place, he thinks about the distance.
During this period, he met with several people who were engaged in mechanism design. There are three people who are settled, and this time he will take the first person first. And the families of the workers have also been contacted. I made an appointment with them to get on the boat and go together when the time came.
At this time, it was Liu Yong's turn to decide who he would take with him this time.
So he held a family meeting and asked them for their opinions.
The result is unanimous unity, and they all have to follow Liu Yong.
Actually, Maria wanted to stay in Da Song, but when she saw that everyone was leaving, she couldn't hold back. are all gone, and there are only two Ying Ying left in the house. It's a bit boring.
If Yue Peng doesn't leave, Yingying naturally can't leave. At this time, there is no one more sad than her. But she didn't show it, after all, guarding her husband was the most important thing she should do.
Liu Yong also agreed, this time he wanted to take everyone on a voyage together, which could be regarded as the realization of one of his dreams.
Now that it has been decided, Lin Qingrou and the others began to get busy, because there are a lot of people in this family. Adults and children, it takes some time to pack up their clothes.
Liu Yong ordered the soldiers to return to their positions quickly, and the same went for the sailors. Command the comprador to take care of all the supplies of the voyage, such as food.
After a few voyages, it all seemed to be at ease.
And he doesn't have to worry about these things at all, he just cares about the money.
It's finally time to set sail. Yingying and her husband Yue Peng, Liu Qiang and other martial artists bid farewell to Liu Yong and others. At this time, Yingying couldn't help crying. This time she flashed herself on the house, and her mood was naturally uncomfortable. The main one is her mother, too. My uncle is leaving, and my aunts are leaving.
She was still pregnant, and even if she wanted to, it would be impossible for her to go along, but there was no one on the ship to deliver her.
Liu Yong and Li Xinniang both came to comfort Yingying, but they always had to be separated.
In the midst of Yingying's weeping farewell, the Eternal sailed east, heading to the sea.
Lin Qingrou regretted that it was the first time for Lin Qingrou to take the sea on a boat, and it was such a big boat. They all stayed on the deck, slowly watching as Lin'an Mansion gradually became smaller, became smaller, and finally disappeared. Look at it again, it's all busy with an ocean.
With the clear blue sea, clear skies, and white seagulls flying, it's a good day to set sail.
Liu Yong thought so, he was not on the deck, but sat on a recliner in his flower hall, looking at the familiar sea through the window.
