Spring goes to autumn, and in the blink of an eye, it is already the end of the year.

Because of his superb cooking skills, Gu Qiurong was not busy with all the banquets he received until the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month.

Then he rushed to his uncle's house to return the fifty taels of silver he borrowed, and when he passed by the town, Gu Qiurong also bought a little gift for his grandmother, grandfather, uncle and aunt to bring over.

Half a year has passed, and the eldest uncle still hasn't dispelled the idea of letting Gu Qiurong be his daughter-in-law.

Gu Qiurong and the three of them hurried home after lunch, although their grandmother and uncle desperately wanted their mother and daughter to stay, after all, this year was the first New Year in the new house, and no matter what, they still had to go back to the new house for the New Year.

The time for the Chinese New Year is getting closer and closer, and the town can be said to be more and more lively, juggling, selling special things from other towns, children happily scurrying around the streets, and adults are busy buying New Year's goods.

Gu Qiurong saw the scene in front of her, her nose couldn't help but be sour, her grandmother was like this before, when it was the New Year, she took herself to the street to sell new clothes, and then bought New Year's goods, and finally her parents came back, and the family gathered around to have a reunion dinner.

By the time Gu Qiurong came back to her senses, Gu's mother had already purchased almost all the New Year's goods.

Looking at Gu Mule's closed mouth, this must be the first time she has spent such a free year since she got married.

When she got home, it was getting late, and after Gu Qiurong put down the things in her hand, she hurriedly ran towards the medicine stove.

Sure enough, the senior sister is still cooking her dark dishes in the kitchen, and the master is researching new medicines inside, as for the rich second-generation senior brother, most of them went home for the New Year.

Murong Feng smiled from ear to ear when he saw Gu Qiurong coming, "You little slippery head, why did you have time to come over today?" ”

Gu Qiurong said obediently while beating Murong Feng's back: "The apprentice naturally misses you." ”

Murong Feng laughed twice with "he~he", "You girl is sweet-mouthed, you say, what's the matter with me looking for your master?" ”

Gu Qiurong took out ten taels of silver from her arms and handed it to Murong Feng, "Master, this is the apprentice's filial piety to your old man, and the apprentice also wants to invite the master and senior sister to our house to celebrate the New Year together." ”

"I'll take the silver, but as for the New Year, although I am very greedy for your cooking skills, but your master and my brother are good friends, and we usually get together rarely, and only have time to get together for a good drink during the New Year every year."

Then the master pointed to a carriage at the door and said, "No, the carriage that your senior brother arranged for the teacher to pick up the teacher has been waiting for the teacher at the door for two days, but the medicine for the teacher still has eight hours to start, otherwise your little girl will definitely be in vain." ”

Gu Qiurong looked at Murong Feng's hand, only to find that there was really a luxurious carriage at the door.

At this time, the senior sister who made a fancy nose and face walked out of the kitchen with the dark cuisine she had developed herself, "Uncle, I just heard it in the kitchen, I want to go to my sister's house for the New Year, and you go to my brother's house to have a drink." ”

When Gu Qiurong heard this, she immediately grabbed Ning Xiang's hand with a happy face and said: "That's really good, it just so happens that I'm still worried that no one will write our family's Spring Festival couplets, and now I can save the money of asking someone to write the Spring Festival couplets." ”

Murong Feng looked at the two of them and said with a doting smile: "Okay, but Rong girl, take good care of your senior sister, don't spoil her." ”

Hearing this, Gu Qiurong pretended to be angry and said, "Hmph! Master, what are you talking about? It's like Rong girl is some kind of bad person. ”

As soon as the voice fell, the three of them burst out laughing.

"By the way, master, senior sister, why don't you come to my house tomorrow. When I went out, my mother told me that I must invite you two benefactors. ”

Hearing this, Ning Xiang immediately nodded in agreement, and seeing this, Murong Feng also nodded in agreement.

........

Chinese New Year's Eve

Every family is busy, and of course there are many things to do today! Paste Spring Festival couplets, paste window flowers, paste blessing words, paste New Year's paintings, light firecrackers, sacrifices, hang lamps, and so on.

After lunch, Xiao Yue'er has been learning couplets around Ningxiang, and Gu Qiurong and Gu's mother cut window flowers and Fu characters together.

Gu Qiurong looked at the few window flowers he had cut out by himself, and was very satisfied.

Xiao Yue'er stood by the window and said while applying paste with one hand: "Sister, mother, come and paste the window flowers, I have painted them for you." ”

When Gu Qiurong was pasting, she accidentally got the right paste, and the window flowers in her hands were firmly glued together in an instant.

Gu Qiurong's simple appearance amused the three of them.

Seeing this, Gu Qiurong asked with a little embarrassment: "Mother, what is this paste made of?" It's pretty sticky. ”

Before Gu's mother could speak, Xiao Yue'er on the side smiled first: "Sister is so stupid, this paste is naturally made of water and noodles, didn't my sister like to boil paste the most?" ”

Hearing this, Gu Qiurong scratched her head, "Is this okay?" It seems that the IQ of the ancients is really not to be underestimated. ”

The four of them were busy for a while, and finally they were done.

Gu Qiurong looked at the results and said with a satisfied smile: "This window is really beautiful after it is pasted." ”

Xiao Yue'er pulled Gu Qiurong and said coquettishly: "Sister, there will be a stall ceremony in our village in a while, let's go and join in the fun." ”

Hearing this, Gu Qiurong looked puzzled, "What the hell is the stall ceremony?" ”

Xiao Yue'er was slightly disappointed and said, "Sister, why did you even forget this?" This stall ceremony used to be your favorite thing to watch. ”

Hearing this, Gu Qiurong could also scratch her head in embarrassment, "Why do you want to call it a small stall, is there a big stall?" ”

"There must be, but I've heard that the big stalls are ceremonies that can only be held in the palace."

Then Xiao Yue'er urged a little impatiently: "Two sisters, let's go with me, the ceremony will start in a while." ”

Gu Qiurong followed Xiao Yue'er to the center of the village with a confused face, although the ceremony had not officially begun, there were already a lot of people gathered here.

Gu Qiurong and the three of them used their strength to squeeze it in.

I saw more than a dozen people beating gongs and drums, and more than a dozen people wearing various masks on their heads and jumping around in costumes like great gods.

"Brother, I didn't expect that there would be such a ceremony as a stall in their small village, but this small stall is really far worse than the big stall in the palace."

Hearing this, Gu Qiurong looked at the little girl who had just spoken with a little curiosity.

Seeing this, the little boy next to the little girl looked around very cautiously, and then lowered his body and told the little girl: "Little sister, you must not talk nonsense!" Have you forgotten what your father told us before you came out? ”

Gu Qiurong looked the two children in front of her up and down, and saw that the two brothers and sisters were wearing tattered cotton clothes and cotton pants.

Although they looked a little dirty, they didn't look like children of poor families from their delicate skin.

Gu Qiurong looked a little curious and asked like a little girl, "Little sister, can you tell my sister what the big stall you just said is?" And what is the function of this stall? ”

The little beggar looked at the brother next to her with a little grievance, and then said to Gu Qiurong: "If there is anything you don't understand about this sister, you just ask my brother, and he won't let me talk nonsense." ”

The little boy looked at Gu Qiurong and asked, "Sister of the Gu family?" ”

Hearing this, Gu Qiurong nodded, and said with joy in his heart: "I didn't expect me to be so famous?" Even the little kids know who I am. ”

The boy thought for a while and then said calmly: "Since you want to know, it doesn't hurt to tell you, this so-called Da Da is intended to "chase away the yin qi for the yang guide, and the day before the new year, the drum drives away the epidemic, which is called to expel it." ”

"The Yiyi selected the children of the Yellow Sect who were over ten years old, under twelve years old, and one hundred and twenty people as stubborn. All are made of red soap, and they are big moths. ”

"Fang Xiang's golden eyes, covered with bear skin, Xuanyi and Zhu clothes, Zhige raised his eyebrows. The twelve beasts have horns. In the yellow door, redundant servants shoot it to chase evil ghosts in the forbidden. ”

Gu Qiurong listened with a confused expression, although he didn't understand anything, he still had to pretend to understand, "Wow, you know so much!" Have you ever seen the legendary Great Stall? ”

Hearing this, the little boy was startled at first and then replied in a little panic: "I...... I haven't seen it, I've just heard what other people say, and I haven't seen it either. ”

After the ceremony, Gu Qiurong and the three returned home, and Gu's mother had already made dinner early.

After dinner, in order to kill the boredom of the New Year, Gu Qiurong also deliberately made a "poker" to teach Gu's mother and Sister Ning Xiang to fight the landlord.
