Chapter 27: The New Year is here

Yun Jie returned to Yunhua County with the approved documents, at this time there were only two days before the New Year, and the New Year was about to begin, and the Yun family would not go to the silver mine when the New Year was about to be felt, and the matter of mining silver ore could only be put into next year, but the matter of Yun's revenge on Yangshan Tao was continuing, and Yun wanted to make Tao's year unstable.

Yes, this world is somewhat similar to Yunyi's previous life in ancient China, especially in terms of culture, people in this world also need to celebrate the New Year, the twenty-third year of the lunar month, the thirtieth year of the lunar month, and the reunion dinner during the New Year.

A few years ago, when Yunyi's grandfather Yun Zhemao was still there, every Chinese New Year, Yunfu was always decorated, no matter what bad things happened in the previous time, he had to welcome the New Year happily.

But when Yun Zhemao died, Yun Yi became the master of Yun Mansion, the scene of Yun Mansion in the past was not there, and Yun Mansion did not make major changes during the New Year, although the housekeeper of Yun Mansion is still Xu Bo, no matter how high the status of the housekeeper is, he is still a subordinate person in Yun Mansion, and he has no power to be the master of the master, even if it is Yun Yi who ignores foreign things, Xu Bo still does not dare to advocate without authorization, Xu Bo will send most of his subordinates home for the New Year, so during the New Year in the past few years, Yun Mansion has been deserted, and Yun Yi does not have any feelings.

This year's Chinese New Year is different, this difference is not that Zhi Yunyi's "disease" was cured, and Yunyi returned to a normal temperament, but because Shangguan Yuling joined the Yun family, Shangguan Yuling became Yunyi's wife and the hostess of Yunfu.

Although Yunyi's "disease" has been cured, Yunyi's personality is relatively lazy, the so-called laziness is not too lazy to move, Yunyi still likes to practice martial arts and paint, and enters the country very quickly, but Yunyi doesn't like to take care of things, not only does Yunyi not want to "recapture" the power he has as the patriarch, but he doesn't even want to deal with the affairs of Yunfu.

Fortunately, there is one more hostess in Yunfu, and she is still a very capable hostess.

Shangguan Yuling is from the Shangguan family of Dingxiang, even if Shangguan Yuling is a concubine, but which of the children of the family is an ordinary person?

The big families all attach great importance to the education of their clansmen, pay attention to cultivating their clansmen, and even if they are not talented, they must have the ability to hold large or small positions, even women with low status.

Shangguan Yuling's martial arts talent is mediocre, and she has not opened the second meridian until now, but Shangguan Yuling is very smart and takes care of Yunfu in an orderly manner, and to a certain extent, the entire Yunfu has a new look.

Shangguan Yuling, as a concubine, was originally not qualified to be Yunyi's wife, Shangguan made huge compensation for Shangguan Yuling to marry into the Yun family instead of Shangguan Xiying, the elders of the Yun family dislike Shangguan Yuling, but Xu Bo, the housekeeper of Yunfu, does not have this idea, on the one hand, Xu Bo does not have this qualification, on the other hand, Shangguan Yuling's ability, Shangguan Yuling can take care of the huge Yunfu well, this is the most suitable wife for Yunyi, a wife who can help Yunyi stabilize the "rear".

Approaching the New Year, Shangguan Yuling took out the demeanor of the hostess of Yunfu, and commanded the subordinates of Yunfu to start busy, and now the Yunfu is cleaned clean and spotless, and then various decorations are procured to dress up Yunfu, and most of them are red, so that Yunfu has more flavor of the New Year.

Today's Yunfu is also rich, Yunyi let Xu Hui be in charge of the paper mill and printing factory for Yunfu to bring a steady stream of income, last month's net income from the sale of Yunhua paper and books was as high as 3500 gold, Yun's side also followed the income of more than 1700 gold, if this goes on for a year, Yun's income alone is because of Yunhua paper and books far exceeds previous years, but also because Yunyi will share the benefits of Yunhua paper and books to the Yun family, plus this is the patriarch's private property, there is no gossip in the Yun clan.

Sure enough, the income of monopoly is good to make money.

Nowadays, Yunhua paper and Yunhua paper printed books have been sold well throughout the Dali Empire, some literati scholars may only buy a small amount of Yunhua paper because of the less money in their hands, and use it when necessary, and use Gaoxun paper the rest of the time, and those who are not bad for money have given up using Gaoxun paper and only use Yunhua paper.

Don't panic if you have money in the palm of your hand, there were not many monthly cases in Yunfu before, Shangguan Yuling saw this situation and reformed Yunfu, so that Yunfu had more money than before, and now Yunfu also has a huge income, Shangguan Yuling can also let go of her hands and feet when she spends money, even if she lets go of her hands and feet to spend money, Shangguan Yuling can spend five hundred gold is a lot.

Uncle Xu looked at the greatly changed Yunfu in front of him, and felt infinite emotion in his heart: "Master, you can rest assured, the little master is now sick and has married a virtuous wife." ”

Unconsciously, Xu Bo's eyes were hazy with tears, and he was a little stupid when he looked at the scene around him.

Time passed day by day, pasting couplets, hanging red lights, and the entire Yunfu was red, as if returning to the wedding day of Yunyi and Shangguan Yuling.

On the evening of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Yunfu prepared a sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and Yunyi invited his two uncles to come to Yunfu with their families for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

A large family eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is actually a tradition in Yun Fu, when Yun Zhemao was still there, every year on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Yun Zhemao's children and grandchildren would gather together for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

Yun Zhemao had three sons and one daughter, the daughter died early, the eldest son was Yun Yi's father who died unexpectedly, Yun Yi's grandmother was similar to most women in this era, because of the premature birth of children, weak health, and died early, Yun Zhemao died because of the death of his wife, son, daughter and overwork in old age.

Now the main branch of the Yun family is only Yun Yi, Yun Yi's second uncle Yun Yuanzhong, and Yun Yi's third uncle Yun Yuankai.

At night, Yun Yuanzhong had a wife and a son, Yun Yuankai had a wife, a concubine, two sons and a daughter, plus Yun Yi and Shangguan Yuling, a total of eleven people sat around a table, and the table was already full of sumptuous meals.

Some big families have a rule that concubines and daughters don't go to the table, but the Yun family doesn't have this rule, and the three main families of the Yun family sit together happily to eat, and even the serious expression on Yun Yuankai's face is replaced by a smile.

Yunyi toasted to the two uncles from time to time, and enjoyed a good meal.

After a short rest after the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, a firewood pile was lit in the open space of the Yunfu courtyard, and the fire rose into the sky, illuminating the courtyard, and then someone threw something into the fire, and it didn't take long to hear "Bang!" There was an explosion.

It turned out that it was time to set off firecrackers, at this time the gunpowder was not known, and the people were throwing bamboo knots into the fire, because the air in the bamboo cavity was heated and expanded, the bamboo cavity burst, so that a loud noise was made, and the bamboo was the firecrackers of this era.

Taking advantage of his father's lack of attention, Yun Yueshan secretly asked for bamboo from his subordinates and threw it into the fire himself, followed by a loud noise from the fire, but Yun Yueshan didn't know that Yun Yuankai, who was facing away from Yun Yueshan, who was facing away from him, showed a smile on the corner of his mouth......

Note 1: Yun Zhemao has only one wife and no concubines.
