Chapter 537: New Year's 2
This Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, but the most important meal in the Baifu in a year, can not be described as not rich, although it is not as luxurious as the Manchu Han banquet in the later life, but the current Baifu can be described as a big business, there is no shortage of money, so this chicken, duck, fish, meat, pigs, cattle and sheep are not lacking.
Even those subordinates, the food on the table was equally sumptuous, and this day was also the day when the government allowed them to drink openly, and those subordinates also feasted one by one.
After three rounds of wine, the hot dumplings were served, Bai Qing and his women all ate in small bites, and they paid attention to food and sleep on weekdays, but this rule is completely no longer cared about today, even Bai Qing and his women were eating dumplings while talking and laughing.
The master's family is still like this, not to mention those subordinates, it is rare to be so free, they are also laughing and laughing, and the entire front hall is filled with an extremely festive and joyful atmosphere.
In this era of no Spring Festival Gala and no Internet, people still have their own entertainment methods to celebrate this day of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new.
The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner did not last too long in a cheerful atmosphere, and those subordinates did not indulge too much even on days when there were not too many rules, and after tidying up the front hall, the subordinates retreated one after another to rest early, and those who stayed to keep the New Year were only white.
The other women, Tantai Dragon Dance and Master Li were tired at this time. After the excitement of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, I was already a little tired. They went back to their respective rooms early to rest, and Li Qingzhao stayed with Bai Luo for a while. Xiao Bailuo was also sleepy and dozed off, so Li Qingzhao took her to leave early, and only Fang Jinzhi was left in the house.
The two of them played backgammon for a while, played a few leaf cards, and after setting off firecrackers with the next person, they also went back to their respective rooms to sleep.
The first day of the first month.
Maybe it's because of the late sleep, Bai Qing got up a lot later today than in the past, and after the morning exercise and freshened up, he went to the canteen for breakfast. Next, in the front hall, Bai Qing and Tangtai Longwu sat at the top, and Li Shishi, Li Qingzhao and Fang Jinzhi, who had given him a salute to the two of them, sat beside the two of them in turn, and then the subordinates in the house were also lined up in a line, coming in and kneeling on the ground to salute the master's family, and Bai Qing also took out the red envelopes that had been prepared a long time ago. They were given to these subordinates, and at the same time, they did not forget to encourage and admonish.
After doing all this, the door of the White Mansion was officially opened, and it didn't take long. Those who come to visit the door for the New Year have already begun to flow in an endless stream.
The morning is basically spent in these pleasantries, and after the lunch break in the afternoon. Bai Qing got into the carriage, which was also in the imperial capital. I started to visit the big guys.
In addition to the Taifu Mansion, Yang Shihan, Zong Ze, Liu Zhongwu and other old ministers. They all need him to visit, and there are also those old ministers who are good friends with Yutai Feicong, and he also came to visit to contact the feelings.
After returning to the house, just to catch his breath, Menzi came over to tell him, saying that Yan Wang Gao Quanxi was here, Bai Qing hurriedly went out to greet him, and after a pleasantry, he naturally left him for dinner.
On the second day of the first lunar month, early in the morning, Bai Qing dressed up in a new dress, and after worshipping his ancestors in the ancestral hall built in the backyard, Bai Qing accompanied the Lantai Dragon Dance back to the Shantai Mansion near the Fengqiu Gate.
Compared with the bustle of the White Mansion, the Tangtai Mansion is a lot more deserted, which is not difficult to understand, after all, the owners of the mansion are only the old man and the Feifeng couple who have stopped asking about political affairs, and the more it comes to this time, there is still no news of the Longyue of the Tai, which has become a pain in the hearts of all family members.
At noon, a family banquet was naturally unavoidable, Bai Qing did what a junior should do at the dinner table, and he was also extremely respectful to Yutai Yuanye and Tangtai Feicong.
In the past year, the old man who doesn't care about political affairs seems to be much older, although his spirit is strong, but after a few glasses of wine, his face still shows a bit of dazzling bright red.
During the banquet, the three of them also talked a lot, from family affairs to state affairs, and then to the big and small things that have happened inside and outside the court these days.
The other party is his elders, and they are all people who practice martial arts, so Bai Qing inevitably ate a few more glasses of wine during the banquet, but fortunately, what he is drinking in the house now is the fruit wine made by Bai Qing's people, the degree is not high, mellow and delicious, otherwise, Bai Qing would have been drunk in the morning.
As for the Tangtai Dragon Dance, after arriving at the Tangtai Mansion, he was dragged into the room by Bai Qing's mother-in-law, Yu, and said some whispers between women.
The two women hid in the house and talked for a while, and when it was in the afternoon, a little drunk, Bai Qing said goodbye to her parents-in-law's family and rode back to her house in a carriage.
Fortunately, among his own women, only the parents are alive with the dragon dance, otherwise, on the second day of the new year, he is really a little lacking in skills, Bai Qing sat in the carriage, dozing off slightly, and at the same time some excited brains were constantly thinking nonsense.
After returning to the house, after waiting for Bai Qing to drink some hangover tea, he lay down and rested with Bai Qing.
In the next few days, Bai Qing didn't go out again, but there was still an endless stream of visitors to the house, and even he couldn't help but be a little tired mentally.
During this period, what made Bai Qing feel a little surprised was that Yue Fei, who was now living in the imperial capital, also brought his two adopted daughters Yue Yun and Yue Lei to visit the mansion.
Regarding Yue Fei's visit, Bai Qing didn't quite understand what she had in mind, but since he came, he naturally didn't want to be too cold, but fortunately, Yue Fei didn't stay long, and after greeting for a while, he got up and said goodbye.
After sending Yue Fei away, he was just about to take a breath, but unexpectedly, there was another unexpected visitor from the house......
