Chapter 536: New Year
What happened that day in the East Building was like an inconsequential episode, and it didn't seem to have made any waves in Bai Qing's life.
Since that day, Bai Qing has continued to live a step-by-step life, running back and forth between the palace, the palace, and the yamen every day.
As for Gao Quanye, from his face, Bai Qing couldn't see the true thoughts in his heart, he was still the same as before, and he talked and laughed with himself in his spare time, if it was Gao Quanye a year ago, Bai Qing didn't have anything to worry about, but after a year, the current Gao Quanye couldn't understand Bai Qing.
The only thing that can be determined is that the boiling Northern Expedition, which was rumored before, seems to have disappeared during this time, and the slightest wind can no longer be heard, even on the streets and alleys, there are few people mentioning it.
Although it was the current result, it was indeed what Bai Qing wanted to see, but even Bai Qing himself didn't know why, and he always had some secret worries in his heart.
After the fifteenth year of Laba, there is nothing to do in the yamen, and it has become extraordinarily idle, and those officials or errands, after the daily response, most of them are gathered in the yamen to chat casually to pass the time.
This scene lasted until the twenty-third day of the lunar month, that is, the small year, after the small year, the yamen in the capital, in addition to a few people on duty every day, has entered the public holiday.
On the contrary, everyone's home has become a busy look, and there is a flow of people buying and selling New Year's goods everywhere, in the streets and alleys. A scene of a sea of people, the streets and alleys of this imperial capital were originally very spacious. But by this time, it was also crowded. It's a bit of a watery look.
And those subordinates in the Baiqing Mansion were also under the command of the official family, and they became busy. 24 dust sweeping room; Twenty-five, frozen tofu; Twenty-six, eat New Year's meat; Twenty-seven, slaughter the rooster; Twenty-eighth, put the face hair; Twenty-nine. Steaming steamed buns, everything is carried out in an orderly manner, and as for the masters like Bai Qing, they spend every day doing nothing.
However, Bai Qing is not idle, it is the Spring Festival soon, and he also wants to take this opportunity to walk around and contact his feelings. Although he is a celebrity in the eyes of the official family at the moment, there are still some old powerful families in this imperial capital, who are friends with the Tai Mansion. As the uncle of the Tantai family, he naturally needs to go through it.
In the midst of their own busyness, the day of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve has finally arrived.
Early in the morning. It was just dawn, and Bai Qing and his wives had not yet gotten up. Those subordinates in the house have already begun their work.
These days have already been purchased for the New Year. Neatly placed in the cellar and storeroom, the cooks in the canteen, already wielding sharpened kitchen knives, began to chop the meat on the cutting board, the crisp chopping sound, as if a cheerful music sounded, and for the first time, the subordinates of those helpers, some were choosing vegetables, some were washing vegetables, some were processing the ingredients that had just been made, some were killing fish, and some were mixing dumpling fillings, and when they worked, they didn't forget to laugh with each other. There was a smile on everyone's face.
It's the New Year, and everyone is happy from the bottom of their hearts, looking forward to having a better day to live in the upcoming new year.
When Bai woke up, it was already dark, and he gently removed Master Li's Hao arm that was on his shoulder, and then stood up and sat up from the bed.
Maybe because of her pregnancy, Master Li was a little lazy, so Bai Qing's movements did not wake her up from her sleep, and her slightly plump and delicate body was covered in the brocade quilt, revealing only a seductive fragrant shoulder, and her long black hair was scattered on the bed at will, which was a little more sultry.
Quietly put on his clothes, Bai Qing went out of the room, first moved his body slightly, and then began the morning exercise that had been practicing diligently, after sweating profusely, the whole person also became sober, back in the house, Master Li had woken up, under her insistence to serve himself dressed up, and then came to the courtyard.
At this time, those subordinates have already cleaned the entire house, even the window is spotless, it can be said that the window is bright and clean, seeing those who are busy, but their faces are full of smiles, Bai Qing's heart can't help but feel a little emotional, in the previous life during the New Year, he was also cleaning the room with his father, at that time he was always troublesome and a little reluctant, now imagine, that is not a kind of happiness, to here, he even has the opportunity to do it, there is no more.
In the morning, Bai Qing coaxed Bai Luo, under the smiling gaze of several women at home, they pasted a peach charm on the door of the house, that is, a couplet, although it is just a simple little thing, but there are not a few places in the house that need to be pasted by the owner, at the beginning, Bai Luo was still a little interested, but in the end he was just a child, and soon became interested, from time to time with a bitter face, looking at Li Qingzhao with a pitiful look, but Li Qingzhao turned a blind eye to his daughter's coquettishness, Watching the mother and daughter play weird, everyone couldn't help but laugh.
It was a long morning of work to finish everything, and after everyone had eaten something hurriedly, they went to rest.
In the afternoon, the people began to prepare the dishes for the evening banquet, the mouthful of iron pots, constantly smoking outward, the whole house, it seems to be filled with an attractive fragrance, a plate of delicate dishes from time to time is fried and plated, and then placed in a special food box to keep warm, those women, on the other side, while talking and laughing, a bread of dumplings, one by one to start quickly, not a lot of effort, it will be full of a food bowl.
For a whole afternoon, the air was full of sporadic crackling sounds, of course, the sound was not too loud, just "firecrackers", after all, although everyone will prepare some firecrackers at home for the New Year, but these firecrackers are to be used in the New Year's Eve to be set off, naturally not so extravagant at this time to take out for the children to squander, those children lit, is a cut of bamboo.
When night fell, from south to north, almost all the families in Daqi were immersed in a festive and peaceful atmosphere, and in the front hall above the Bai Mansion, there were also many large and small tables, and on the largest table in the center, the Bai Qing family was sitting.
One dish after another was served, Bai Qing looked at the women sitting in a circle on the table, with a smile on his face, and slowly picked up the wine glass in his hand.
The second year of the Great Qi Qingyuan is finally coming......
