Chapter 248: Year Pass Four
The white straw is newly harvested and brewed red, and the pot is washed and the fire is blown to cook the shallots. Don't be suspicious of pouring out clear and turbid, and it tastes spicy and thick.
Eating hot pot is a very pleasant thing, a large family gathers together, long chopsticks are fished around in the oil pot, and a few pots of sake are in the stomach, which is really a beautiful thing in the world.
This year, the Chen family did not prepare big fish and meat, which was different from previous years, on the morning of the thirtieth day of the lunar month, several women got up very early, although Qian Dongfei had only been here for two days, but soon became familiar with Huang Wan and Fang Xiaomei.
Huang Wan's girl is very simple, anyone can talk, so Qian Dongfei didn't feel uncomfortable, and Fang Xiaomei, she is sophisticated, as if everything about herself has been seen thoroughly by her, but her emotional intelligence is very high, as if she is deliberately accelerating her integration into this group.
These women began to prepare various ingredients early in the morning, slicing thin lamb, washing a few batches of vegetables, lighting a fire, boiling water, steaming buns, steaming fish, duck, goose and chicken, although they eat hot pot on the day of Chinese New Year's Eve, but from the first day to the seventh day of the new year, they still have to prepare ingredients.
Several women have a clear division of labor, but the men are the most comfortable at the moment, such as Chen Yu and Shen Fei, who are sprinkling the sun in the courtyard and playing chess at the moment.
"General! Your Excellency, you've lost again. Shen Fei said strangely, "My lord, do you have something on your mind?" ”
"Well, no, isn't it normal that your chess skills are not as high as you?" Chen Yu said with admiration on his face, "I didn't expect you kid to be a hidden chess master!" ”
"My lord, you don't pickle me, although this is the first time I have learned from you, but you can't lie to me like a child, I have studied with Lord Fang, people can let me have a car, horses, and cannons, Lord Fang said that you also let her do this, lie paper!"
"Forehead......" Chen Yu is full of black lines, this kid, it's not okay to make you happy, right?
"Is it because of Miss Li?" Shen Fei said, "You're not a person who can't afford to let go!" Just like when you play chess, you are always undecided, but you are not thinking about the next road, I am afraid that you are also very bored now. ”
Chen Yu nodded, "Accompany me to the streets." In the Chinese New Year's Eve, the streets should be lively. ”
"Hmm." Although Chen Yu pretended not to care in front of his family, Shen Fei could also understand the man's thoughts, especially the emotion, where he could say that he would let it go, the more Chen Yu was so muffled, the more he needed to vent fiercely, after all, it was not easy for anyone to be green......
Shen Fei is a Jingzhao person, compared to the desolation in the north, Jiangnan is more of another graceful beauty, here is more of a water town, walk a few steps to see a winding river, the river is mostly a small boat painting boat, the people on the boat enjoy the beautiful scenery on the shore, the people on the shore look at the scenery on the boat.
Early in the morning of the 30th day, there will still be many people in the streets, and it will be about an hour or two after lunch before the street vendors will finish their work and go home for the New Year.
Chen Yu and Shen Fei came early, and even so, there were already more people on the street one after another, and the smoke curled in the distance, and the smoke was mixed with the aroma of rice, which made people's taste buds fresh.
Chen Yu took Shen Fei to the street of Qiantang to eat a bowl of wonton noodles, and the two continued to shop. In fact, it is very embarrassing for two men to go shopping, especially two handsome men, because everyone along the road treats them as a pair of rabbits!
However, Chen Yu didn't mind much about these, but Shen Fei seemed a little cramped.
"Today, the drunkard building has set up a lamp joint with the right one."
"The quasi-prime minister Gonggui Gongzi of Governor Li's daughter has broken seven pairs in a row, and that talent has simply caught up with Chen Zhuangyuan back then."
"Miss Li, the quasi-prime minister, will have a spring next year, and with his learning, Jinshi can't run, and he can't even get into the top three."
"Don't say so much, the drunkard building is already full of people, and the main family seems to have nothing that can stump Gui Gongzi, and this time I will lose a hundred taels of silver."
"I am willing to gamble and lose, who knows that Gui Gongzi is so powerful, one layer and three problems, he has now gone up to three floors, I don't know if he can go up to six floors like Chen Zhuangyuan back then."
"Pity Miss Li, the incident with Chen Zhuangyuan back then was also a good story in Qiantang, but why did it become like this?"
"You men are like this, do you still think about women who share weal and sorrow when you are developed? Fortunately, Miss Li woke up early. ”
People on the street gossip from time to time, although Chen Yu is now beside them, but the changes over the years, and few people know Chen Yu, so at this moment, few people know that he is Chen Tingyu, the champion of Qiantang back then.
"Well, this Qiantang man is such a gossip." Chen Yu said embarrassedly.
Who knew that Shen Fei looked around, and then asked Chen Yu with a blank face, "What's wrong?" What happened? Shicai didn't hear clearly. ”
"Less, let's go to the Drunkard Building to have a look."
"My lord, are you going to save the scene?"
"Save your uncle, can't you go and see the excitement?"
"Oh, is it to watch the excitement or to watch the miss?"
"What did you say?"
"Oooh, nothing."
The two soon came to the drunkard building, the drunkard building was blocked by the water pavilion, only occasionally the little guy in the store would go out to report the good sentence made by Gui Gongzi, every time the little guy came out, those who watched the excitement were excited.
"Hangzhou hasn't been so lively for a long time!" Chen Yu smiled self-deprecatingly.
Because there is Gui Cao to answer the question, so many sons present did not go in, nonsense, isn't it looking for a face to hit when you go in now? Do you dare to guarantee that your talent is higher than that of Master Gui?
Chen Yu looked up, but saw that Li Ziqi was looking down, but he also happened to see Chen Yu, and he was stunned for a while, Gui Cao seemed to have found something, and he also looked at it, and happened to see Chen Yu, with a smile in his eyes.
"Is Chen Yu Chen Zhuangyuan here?" Gui Cao's voice was very loud, and the crowd suddenly quieted down, Chen Yu? Chen Yu is here? Where is it?!
Shen Fei listened to his words, frowned, and whispered to Chen Yu, "My lord, what do you mean by this?" ”
"Oh, young man, with sharp edges and corners, dare to love and hate." In fact, since Gui Cao said those few words on the broken bridge, he knew that this Gui Cao was a person who loved and hated, and was jealous and hateful, but at that time he smiled slightly, and he didn't break it, and he didn't think that this guy's comparison was also very heavy, and he seemed to be very confident in his own literature.
Chen Yu ignored Gui Cao, turned around and prepared to leave.
"Master Chen, you're here, why don't you come up and make a few poems and a few pairs, so that the students can have a good year?"
At this time, the crowd finally recognized Chen Yu, and I don't know who shouted, "Ah, it turns out that it is really Chen Zhuangyuan, I saw him outwitted the head of the house five years ago, and the competition of the head of the two cases, it was a once-in-a-millennium encounter, it was really Chen Zhuangyuan!" ”
Chen Yu wanted to leave in a low-key manner, he really didn't want to see Li Ziqi and Gui Cao together, that would only make his heart ache, but he couldn't leave if he wanted to leave today.
Chen Yu shook his head, and when the crowd saw that he was about to speak, they suddenly fell silent.
Who knew that he said: "No, Lord Gui has broken so many poems, which is already very remarkable, and everyone must be very satisfied with this year." ”
If it was five years ago, Chen Yu might have gone up to compete with him, but after becoming an official all these years, he gradually understood some truths, and his body and mind gradually became calm.
So he felt that there was no need to compare anything with Gui Cao, not that he felt that he couldn't compare with him, after all, this chasing Weng Lou was his Chen Yu's family property in the final analysis, and those pairs were also hung up by himself a year or two ago, and it was normal to be able to come out.
However, the people in the crowd who read will not just let Chen Yu go, they have to ask Chen Yu to come with a poem, and Gui Cao on the third floor also said: "My lord, it's hard to be gracious, why not have a poem?" Just think it's for Miss Li, after all, you once fell in love, write poems to explain, right? ”
"Gui Zishi!" Li Ziqi said angrily, "What are you going to do?" At the beginning, your words and actions on the broken bridge were quite inappropriate, and now you are saying such things, are you sincere in trying to embarrass Chen Tingyu? ”
"I don't know what embarrassment is not embarrassing, isn't it embarrassing that he abandons you? He thought he was the champion and could do whatever he wanted, and today I will get justice for you! ”
"Don't be so impulsive!" Li Ziqi actually wanted to say that those who originally had this kind of thought were slapped in the face by Chen Yujie in the end, why do you bother to suffer for yourself, but he didn't say this after all, for fear that Gui Cao would have something in his heart.
Chen Yu shook his head, glanced at Li Ziqi, and then said lightly: "Mingyue should laugh at me if she is affectionate, laugh at me now, lonely and sad, wandering alone." Recently, I'm afraid to talk about current events, so I'm knitting Lan Xiang. The moon is shallow and the light is deep, where to find the clouds in the dream? ”
After he finished speaking, he seemed to be unfinished, but it was obvious that he was in the mood, so he continued to sing: "Pillow incense, flower path leakage." Meet according to the appointment, after dusk. In the season, the cold people are sick and the wine is cold, the east wind is plowed, and the pear blossoms are thin all night.
Cover the silver screen, hang the green sleeves. Where to blow the flute, the pulse is slightly funny. The intestine is broken and the moon is bright and red cardamom, the moon is like that time, and the person is like that time? ”
This poem tells the past and Li Ziqi's past little by little, the moon is still the moon at that time, but the person is no longer the you at that time!
There was a deep sadness in the tune, and several students who were full of feelings had even begun to hide their faces and weep.
At this moment, Chen Yu's eyes gradually overflowed with tears, so he continued: "Whose family courtyard is still standing, Yansu carved sorghum, monthly silver wall, I can't distinguish the petals of the flowers." This situation has become a self-contained memory, scattered mandarin ducks, the rain is slightly cool, six or seven years ago I dreamed! ”
After three poems, he waved his hand and left, with a resolute step in his footsteps, three words, emotional progression, the last sentence draws an ending, six or seven years of time, just when we dream of it!
And at this moment, Gui Cao was also stunned on the third floor, no matter what, he couldn't believe that Chen Yu's talent could be so high, this drunkard Lou's poetry was right, but he studied it for a long time before he dared to come over!
But before he could continue to think, the shopkeeper ran up and said: "Master Gui, the master of our family is Chen Tingyu Chen, you are simply playing a big knife in front of Guan Gong, and you don't give up if you don't know you like you, is this boring in the end?" You don't have to go down in the back of this, what do you think? ”
What do I think? I still have a face! Gui Cao left in a gray manner!
