Chapter 23: The New Year's Day
After a night of firecrackers, the streets and alleys of Jianle City on the first day of the Lunar New Year are full of men and women walking, riding horses, or sitting in cars, paying New Year's greetings everywhere, as well as sending prayer posts.
Li Sangrou and the four of them had no New Year's greetings, nor did they give them New Year's greetings.
Early in the morning, Li Sangrou sent New Year's money to the three of Dachang, ate dumplings on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the four of them came out in four new clothes and went straight to Liangmen.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, you must look new from head to toe from the inside out, this matter, Dachang is very insistent, Li Sangrou doesn't care, then follow Dachang's meaning.
The Golden Retriever is quite persistent about the dumplings on the first day of the Lunar New Year, this dumpling has to be vegetarian dumplings, the egg and leek filling is the most authentic, and Li Sangrou doesn't care, then follow the Golden Retriever.
As for the New Year's money, the dark horse thinks that if you don't get the New Year's money, you can't call it the New Year, and Li Sangrou doesn't care, so follow the dark horse, and Li Sangrou, the boss, will send a small gold coin to each of the three people on the morning of the first day of the new year.
The four of them went straight to the beam gate in the joy of the city.
From the first day of the Lunar New Year to the third day of the Lunar New Year, it is open.
During the winter solstice, it was also put for three days, but at that time, Li Sangrou and Golden Retriever went to Jiangdu City, Dachang and the dark horse had to prevent being touched by others, and they had to dig out their minds to take advantage of it, and they didn't even pay attention to whether they put the winter solstice or not.
Li Sangrou has heard and heard many legends about Guan Pu, but she has never seen it.
Jiangdu City strictly forbids Guan Pu, General Wu hates gambling the most, and where he is, the word gambling is not allowed.
Now, she wants to see it.
……………………
Gu Xi spent the Chinese New Year's Eve in the palace as usual, first accompanying the emperor to a reunion dinner, and then going to Ming'an Palace to celebrate the New Year with Gu Jin.
On the first day of the new year, the Zhengdan festival is usually a whole day from morning to night.
The next day, the two princes went to the Daxiangguo Temple to pray for incense, and Gu Xi and the envoys of the Southern Liang went to the imperial garden outside the city to feast and drink.
The third day of the first lunar month happens to be the beginning of spring.
The second prince, the titular governor of the palace, wants to whip a spring ox in the city for a day, persuade ploughing and pray for blessings, and Gu Xi has to be with the second prince, dressed as a farmer, accompanied and dispatched, and is busy until midnight.
It wasn't until the fourth day of the Lunar New Year that Gu Xi had a little time, sitting in his courtyard, drinking a cup of idle tea with Wen Cheng and Wen Shunyi, and flipping through a thin stack of posts.
Every Spring Festival, although there are only a few New Year's greeting posts he sends out, the New Year's greeting posts he receives are to be packed in baskets, but there are only a few that can pass through Wencheng and then be handed to him.
"There is no Miss Li, she didn't come back?" Gu Xi flipped through it,
"It's not that I didn't return it, it's that I didn't send it out.
She and her three subordinates went straight to the outside of the Liang Gate early in the morning on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and only went back after dark.
The second day of junior high school went to Fengqiu Gate, and yesterday I went to Song Gate, and I didn't leave until the gong sounded before and after the time and the Guan Flutter was over. ”
Wen Cheng smiled wryly.
"I thought, in the middle of the night, the third watch knocked on the door to send a New Year's post, it's really not very suitable, this post is ......"
According to custom, it is not appropriate to send New Year's greeting posts on the third day of the new year.
The New Year's greeting post that his family father wrote repeatedly failed to send out.
Gu Xi's face was a little unsightly.
After all, his post can't be sent, and this is the first time that he has grown so big.
Wen Shunzhi looked at Gu Xi's face, and smiled with Wen Cheng: "Miss Li loves Guan Pu so much? ”
"It was said that Miss Li didn't pounce, but only watched her three men pounce.
Her three subordinates were not very lucky, they all lost more and won less. ”
"Didn't pounce on a handful? Just watch? Gu Xi was surprised, this was a little incomprehensible.
"Well, I said I was very focused."
Wen Cheng spread his hands, he was also very puzzled, just watching without pounce, he could watch it for three days in a row.
Gu Xi raised his eyebrows, and for a moment, threw a few posts in his hand on the low table, looked at Wen Cheng and said:
"I heard that the dark horse has copied the old accounts of other people's tooth shops? Or did he let the Yaxing copy it to him? ”
"Hmm." Wen Cheng's expression was complicated.
The bold ruthlessness of Miss Li's two subordinates, he was amazed.
As for the Yongping Marquis Mansion, as the prince said, it is too stupid and too ruthless.
These two dental shops are really pitiful, one family lost thirty or forty thousand silver, and the old bottom of one family was copied clean.
"That golden retriever is certainly not a fuel-efficient lamp. Such three people obey Miss Li and regard her as God, which shows that Miss Li acted ...... in the past."
Gu Xi dragged his voice, didn't say the words later, looked at Wen Shunzhi from Wen Cheng, and continued:
"In the future, don't be careless with Miss Li, don't be rude.
Also, just move people away and know what she's doing, and don't have to keep an eye on them.
I think what she doesn't want us to know, I'm afraid we won't be able to keep an eye on it. ”
"Okay, over there in the Yongping Marquis Mansion?" Wen Cheng asked.
"Who are you worried about? Miss Li or the Marquis of Yongping? Gu Xi looked at Wen Cheng and asked.
Wen Shunzhi laughed.
Wen Cheng was a little embarrassed, "No, after all...... Ahem, I was overly cautious. ”
"Before the Marquis of Yongping knelt at the gate of the palace, that Miss Li was in our Jianle City, and she didn't even dare to drink a sip of wine, why didn't she dare to drink it?
I'm afraid that my tree is not thick enough and not strong enough.
If the Marquis of Yongping dares to use official coercion to pressure her, she will immediately pull out my banner and press it back.
Rest assured! ”
Gu Xi glanced at Wen Cheng obliquely, don't worry, what he said is quite meaningful.
Wen Shunzhi's eyebrows were slightly raised, but he glanced at Gu Xi obliquely.
Wen Cheng smiled wryly, lowered his head and did not speak.
