Early the next morning, Wang Xiang was still asleep in a daze, and Steward Wang, Aunt Lin and others had already gotten up early to tidy up and clean up the Hou Mansion.

According to the rules of previous years, the descendants of the Hou Mansion on the first day of the New Year can go home for the New Year, of course, not all the descendants of large families have such treatment, only the Lin Chuan Hou Mansion is like this.

Wang Xiang didn't know such rules, and when he got up, he was shocked when he saw Steward Wang, Aunt Lin and others waiting in the backyard with their burdens, and hurriedly asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

Steward Wang smiled and said, "We are here to say goodbye to the young master." ”

After speaking, everyone bowed to Wang Xiang for a New Year and said some auspicious words.

When Wang Xiang heard that they were resigning, where could he still care about what auspicious words they said, and hurriedly said: "Resign? Why quit? ”

Wu Shun, who came out with Wang Xiang, didn't know the rules of the Marquis Lin Chuan's mansion, and he was also surprised to hear that Steward Wang was about to resign, and asked, "But what's unhappy in the mansion?" ”

Last night's Chinese New Year's Eve banquet was fine, why do you have to quit early this morning?

As soon as Steward Wang saw Wang Xiang and Wu Shun's expressions, he knew that they had misunderstood, and explained to Wang Xiang in a whisper, and Wang Xiang realized that they didn't want to leave the Hou Mansion, but just go home for the New Year.

"The old marquis and the young master are sympathetic to our subordinates, and let us go home for the New Year from the first to the fifteenth day of the new year every year, but there is actually no one at home, if the young master finds it inconvenient, I will not go back for the New Year, and tomorrow I will let Degui go back and take the old woman of the family over the same."

"No, no." Wang Xiang shook his head and said, "It's right to go home for the New Year, I thought you were going to leave the Hou Mansion." ”

Laifu smiled: "The young master and the lady are so good to us, we don't want to leave if we drive us away." ”

"What nonsense, how could the young master drive us away."

was glared at by Aunt Lin, and Laifu scratched her head awkwardly and smiled: "That's what I mean......"

This kid has grown physically during this time, he has gained a lot of weight, and he laughs like a Maitreya Buddha. Maybe it's thinking about going back for the New Year to show off. Laifu is wearing a newly made jacket, a look at the handiwork knows that it is from a famous garment shop in Chang'an, customizing a piece of clothing to say less about two money, if it was before it must be reluctant, now, two money is really nothing to Laifu.

It's not just Rifle. Steward Wang and Aunt Lin were all wearing newly made clothes, and their faces were full of smiles.

"Are you all going back for the New Year?"

Listening to Wang Xiang's questioning, Steward Wang replied: "Dazhu, Erzhu and Xiaoya are not going back." ”

"Oh." Wang Xiang nodded and didn't ask why, Da Zhu, Erzhu and Xiao Ya were all adopted by Wang Bing since they were children, and Lin Chuanhou's Mansion was their home.

The New Year's red envelope is indispensable, and the Zhuang household on the village came to pay the annual profit a few days ago, and Wang Xiang gave them a red envelope. Naturally, there will be no shortage of Steward Wang's red envelopes, and a red envelope of fifty taels per person makes everyone very surprised.

Wang Xiang is not lacking in silver now, there are only three places set by the Wanguo Academy, one is to use the Sichuan Village sisters to successfully "buy" Wang Xiang's Fusang Kingdom, and there are the Turks and Tibetans who answered the questions at the court meeting, and the other seven places have not yet been decided. Since Li Er revealed the power of Tianleizi in front of the envoys and families of Fanbang, there has been an endless stream of people who come to the door to give gifts, all for the quota of the Academy of All Nations. The family also squeezed their heads and wanted to let the children of the clan enter the Gewu Academy to study.

After Steward Wang and the others left, the Hou Mansion was much quieter, and they played with Xiao Lori and Ju Yiya for a while, and the landlord Wang Xiang went out of the Hou Mansion alone with large and small gift bags.

During the Tang Dynasty, the atmosphere was open. Everyone likes to be lively, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, every household in Chang'an City has set up a banquet, neighbors greet each other for the New Year, go to whose house to eat whom, and there is a special name, called "Chuan Seat". Of course, these are all names that only rich and noble families have.

Wang Xiang didn't know these names, he just felt that it was appropriate to give the elders a New Year's greeting on the first day of the new year, and the reason why he didn't bring Wushun and Ju Yiya was because it was not very auspicious for women to come to the door on the first day of the new year.

Chang'an City on the first day of the Lunar New Year was not as empty and quiet as Wang Xiang imagined. The streets and alleys are full of children chasing and frolicking in new clothes, candy men, sugar gourd sellers, and there are really a lot of jugglers.

I went to Lao Cheng's Mansion first, no matter what aspect Lao Cheng is the most worthy of Wang Xiang's respect, if there is no Lao Cheng who has been secretly taking care of Lin Chuan's Mansion, I am afraid that Wang Xiang will not be able to survive when he comes to Datang, and he will completely decay and disappear.

It is worthy of the Mansion of Lu Guo, far from being comparable to ordinary rich and noble families, the door is like a city, the vermilion gate is full of traffic, and there is an endless stream of Chang'an nobles entering and leaving, and then thinking of the situation when he went out, Wang Xiang shook his head secretly.

Don't look at the endless stream of people who usually come to visit, at this time, the difference in the order of visiting the door can best see the problem, compared with Lao Cheng and Qin Qiong, they are still far behind......

Just a little emotional, Wang Xiang didn't particularly care about these things, and walked towards the gate with a gift bag.

Cheng Chuliang greeted the guests who came to pay New Year's greetings at the door early in the morning, and when he turned his head, he suddenly saw a familiar figure, and immediately left others and ran towards Wang Xiang.

"Zixin, you're here!"

Wang Xiang lifted the gift bag in his hand and said with a smile: "Yes, I came to pay a New Year's greeting to Uncle Cheng." ”

Cheng Chuliang slapped Wang Xiang's shoulder and smiled: "The old man has been talking to you early in the morning, come in with me." ”

It's a shame that during this period of time, Sun Simiao's martial arts practice has become much stronger, otherwise this slap is really not something that ordinary people can bear.

Cheng Chuliang left the others to greet a young man, many people were curious, and when they saw clearly that the person who came was the prince, they were relieved, everyone knew the relationship between the Marquis of Lin Chuan's Mansion and the Lu Guogong Mansion, and with Wang Xiang's current status, they didn't dare to have any dissatisfaction, and they all bowed their hands to Wang Xiang.

When I entered the Mansion of Lu Guogong, I found that the mansion was already holding a banquet, and I could hear Lao Cheng's hearty laughter from afar.

Seeing Cheng Chuliang bringing Wang Xiang over, Lao Cheng's eyes lit up, but he pretended to sit upright, Wang Xiang smiled slightly when he saw this, stepped forward and saluted respectfully and smiled: "The boy has come to greet Uncle Cheng for the New Year, I wish Uncle Cheng a safe and auspicious year." ”

"Good! Good! Lao Cheng's temperament was not serious, and he suddenly became happy when he heard Wang Xiang's blessing, and said with a smile: "Zixin, come and sit." ”

Cheng Chuliang rubbed his hands and smiled: "What about me?" ”

"You?" Lao Cheng glanced at him and said lightly: "Welcome at the door." (To be continued.) )
