After putting aside these two things, what the Tang family wants to talk about is Tang Que's tuition money, Tang Que actually had plans for this matter, but these plans are related to the poisonous widow, so there is no way to tell Tang and Zhang's two people, only the old couple is not light, originally they also planned to use the dowry brought by their daughter-in-law to fill this hole, but now since their son is unwilling, they can only find another way. But with such a situation at home, what else can they do but worry?

Tang Que saw that Tang Zhang's family was anxious about this matter and couldn't bear it, so he simply went to Liu Lizheng's house to ask him for a favor, and the two set up a bureau to deceive that this fee should be temporarily borrowed from Liu's family in the name of Tang Que, and it would be repaid another day. finally relieved the sorrow in front of the old couple.

In this way, everything is mixed, and it has taken more than half a month after Tang Que has sorted out the mess at home, and it is calculated that Lin Xuezheng, who accompanied Zhang County's order to inspect, should also return to the county school, and he will also say goodbye to Old Master Yan and others, and leave for the county seat.

This is the second time that Tang Que has gone to Yunxi County in more than a year, thinking about the embarrassment of going to the county seat for the first time last year, Tang Que couldn't help but slow down, and take a closer look at the familiar city gate tower and the lively scene of people coming and going under the city gate tower in front of him.

Just as he was browsing the dark and clumsy ancient city wall with his eyes, he heard a shout from a distance, vaguely calling his name, Tang Que turned his head to look at it, but he didn't see it clearly because of the crowd of people, he also wondered if he had heard it wrong, and saw the crowd in front of him, and the bluegrass wearing a tender yellow five-fold skirt squeezed over.

Because it was too crowded, a layer of fine sweat appeared on Lancao's forehead, but her red face was full of joy that she couldn't hide with a smile.

It's pitiful, what has she been looking forward to for more than ten days, and now she has finally waited for someone.

Sister Lan first greedily looked Tang Que up and down carefully, and then reached out to pick up the futon in his hand, "Why are you still bringing this, the house is ready for you."

"I don't want to bring it, but my mother won't agree", Tang Que didn't give the bluegrass bedding, only handed over the bookcase, and asked a beautiful big girl to pick a flat shoulder! "There are so many people."

"It's cloudy for more than half a month, people are going to get moldy, today the sun is good and warm, everyone wants to come out and go around, isn't this crowded together", Sister Lan carried the bookcase and leaned close to Tang Que's side to walk to the city, chirping non-stop, "I waited at the city gate early in the morning, fortunately I came early, otherwise it would be difficult to hire a donkey cart."

"It's hard work", Tang Que agreed but didn't hear Sister Lan speak, and when she looked sideways, she saw that the girl was looking at the side in a daze, the two people she looked at were obviously young couples who had just gotten married, because there were many people who were afraid of crowding, the little couple held hands in the crowd, their eyebrows and eyes were full of tenderness and sweetness, it seemed that they were really loving and harmonious. And Sister Lan'er looked at them with envy in her eyes.

Seeing this, Tang Que shook his head and smiled, stretched out his hand to hold Lancao's little hand, and continued to walk forward without saying a word.

In the later generations, don't say that people are holding hands in front of them, even if they bite their mouths, it is nothing, but this is the Tang Dynasty, and it is still in broad daylight, Tang Que's generous behavior made Lan Cao'er's face red at first, and then there was a strange layer of brightness on her face, and she suddenly lost her words, and she silently followed Tang Que forward like a little daughter-in-law who went back to her parents' house.

Until she got on the donkey cart parked on the right side of the city gate, Lan Cao'er didn't let go, so she took Tang Que's hand all the way to the house that the poisonous widow had purchased in the county seat.

Yunxi City is backed by Dajian Mountain, facing the Shuanglong River in front, the whole county is built on the basin between the mountain and the river, the construction pattern in the city is typical in imitating the imperial capital of Chang'an, the whole county is neatly divided into four pieces by the cross-shaped road, each piece is just a square area, and each square area is a separate living space. Most of the four squares facing the city gate were inhabited by commoners, while those who had some power and wealth lived in the latter two squares, which was no different from other cities.

The poisonous widow's tung oil shop is the largest tung oil merchant in the county, naturally located in the back of the west square, she bought the house in the city is also in the same square area, although the county school is not located in this square, but it is only separated by a street in the middle, such a location is not far away, just in line with Tang Que's mind.

This is a small courtyard with two entrances and two compartments, the area is not large, but it is better than Yajing, because the study room has been newly renovated recently, and there is a faint fragrance of varnish wafting in the small courtyard.

After hastily looking at the small courtyard, Tang Que went to the west chamber and sat down, according to the habit of the poisonous widow Lao Zhuangzi, this is the place to live for her.

After sitting down, Lancao went to boil the hot water for combing, and Tang Que casually flipped through a pile of colored paper on the table next to him, some of these colored papers have been cut, and some have not yet formed, which are obviously masterpieces of Lancao.

There are only seven styles of paper-cutting of bluegrass, namely chickens, dogs, pigs, sheep, cows, horses, and people. When Tang Que flipped through the paper-cutting, he saw a book pressed under the pile of paper, and when he picked it up, it was a copy of "The Lunar Order", and the page that was opened was printed with the style of paper-cutting.

According to Dong Xun of the Jin Dynasty "Q&A Etiquette", the "human day" is the first day of the first month of the first month to the eighth day, cutting the ribbon to occupy the birds and beasts, one day for the chicken, the sky is clear, the people are safe and the country is Tai, and the four Yi come to the court. The second day is a dog, and it is ripe when there is no wind and rain. Three days for pigs, the weather is sunny, Jun'an. For four days, he was a sheep, his complexion was warm, there was no disaster, and he obeyed the king's order. Five days for a horse, if it is sunny, the world is ripe. Six days for the ox, the sun and the moon are sunny, and the year is ripe. Seven days for people, such as from Dan to twilight sunshine, night stars, **** Ning Guoan, monarchs and ministers will meet. The eight days are the valley, as the day is clear, and the night sees the stars, and the grains are abundant.

After seeing this text, Tang Que understood, it seems that this person's ribbon cutting is the same as the spring equinox, which is to use spring to divinate the good fortune and evil of the year, which is a real folk custom.

He was looking at it interestingly, Lan Cao had already walked in with a copper basin, Tang Que put down the book and went to freshen up, "Sister Lan, do you remember what the weather was on the seventh day of the first lunar month?" ”。

"The seventh day of the first month?" , Lancao skillfully helped Tang Que pull up his sleeves, thought about it and said: "If you want to say that there is a good day on the seventh day of the first month of this year, but the night is very dark, not to mention the stars, even the moon can't be seen."

If it is said in the "Lunar Order Zhanhou Map", the seventh day of the first month is to occupy the people, the sun is clear, the lord is peaceful, and the stars at night indicate the peace of the monarch and the minister. At the beginning of this year, there were no stars and no moon, so doesn't that mean that the monarch and the minister are not in harmony, and there is a sign of change in the court? Although Tang Que didn't believe this, it was really not a good sign that he had just stepped into the county school and was ready to fight as a civil servant to catch up with such a divination result.
