Chapter 085: There are many things to do on the first day of the new year
Since Wei Xuan finished reading the letter and asked where it was sent from, the look on his face became much heavier. After sending the letter, he kept sitting at the table, staring at the letter sent by Jiang Feng, and didn't move.
Chu Jianniang came over with the boiled tea from outside, put it on his side, and when she saw him like this, she asked.
Wei Xuan loosened his brows, and immediately turned his face to look at her in pale pink, as if he was admiring a lotus. Fang Si said slowly:
"As far as I know, the military camp where Jiang Feng is located is in the Sichuan Prefecture area. Later, I heard that the recruits from Sichuan Prefecture entered the northwest, Liaodong and other places in batches, but I did not hear that there was a division to the south. And Jiang Feng's letter was sent from the south. ”
"You mean...... Chu Jianniang rolled her eyes and looked at the letter, then looked back at him.
Chu Jianniang sometimes had too many thoughts in tandem, and as soon as Wei Xuan's words came out, she naturally also thought about whether Jiang Feng was not in the army? But we can't speculate. A little suspicious:
"Will there be a batch to the south? It's just a transfer that looks at the ignorance, but it is operating in the dark? After all...... Some military strategies, try it and do it. ”
Wei Xuan didn't expect her head to turn so fast, and said such things, and said such things, and said with a smile: "You little village woman, you actually know military strategy?" It seems that your ancestors really have been big officials. ”
Chu Jianniang smiled, "That's, maybe you have been a prime minister." ”
Seeing her little mouth raised proudly, Wei Xuan also laughed, and seemed to be a little unable to twist his head twice, "What the lady says is what it is." That's what you think, but I'm not sure. After I go to Beijing, I will ask someone. ”
"Well, I'm going to have to ask. If you are in the court, if he is in the army, there are some things that cannot be ambiguous. ”
When he said this, Wei Xuan's heart was broken, and he couldn't help but pull her over and sit on his lap, and wrapped her in his arms and kissed her, "The lady is really thinking about her husband, and she really loves her husband." ”
Chu Jianniang was slightly shy and avoided her head.
Du Xiaojiangfeng is unreliable, but I hope it is a normal transfer of recruits in the army.
……
Two days later, it will be the 30th Chinese New Year's Eve. Early in the morning, every household cuts window flowers, sticks window paper, pastes lanterns, and the couplets on the door are completely renewed.
At night, it is the lighting of the lamps to keep the New Year, and the sound of firecrackers catches the Chinese New Year's Eve. The ancestral temple of Longshan Village also set off fireworks and lit the dragon lantern on the roof, which can be described as the roar of thousands of cannons, a hundred flowers blooming, reflecting the bright lights of the entire mountain village.
Many children carry lanterns, running around the head and end of the village, and the sound of firecrackers and fireworks comes from time to time, and the laughter is so happy. provoked Chu Jianniang to stand in the courtyard and couldn't bear to enter the house, but she didn't dare to leave the courtyard, she only looked up excitedly and stared at the fireworks scattered on the sky, immersed in it.
In the past, Chu Jianniang lived lonely. Since I can remember, Chu Jianniang's New Year has been coming outside, and there is no saying that she is keeping the New Year at home. Keeping the New Year's Eve is all the business of the Wang family. This year...... Very different.
Watching the slammed fireworks disappear, and after they disappeared, new fireworks slammed off, Chu Jianniang grinned more innocently than a child.
"I counted, and there were eighteen fireworks on the side of the ancestral temple."
Chu Jianniang wanted to say this to Wei Xuan beside her, but on one side, Old Man Wei stood among them at some point and acted as a wall.
Looking at Wei Xuan through the old man Wei, Chu Jiaoniang's face was gray, and as if she had been suddenly grabbed with her pigtails, she was excited for a while and restrained.
Wei Xuan looked at it and snickered.
Old man Wei was self-aware, coughed, and said intentionally: "In the sound of firecrackers, the year old is removed, the spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu, and all things welcome spring and send remnants, and the end of the year is tonight." I'll take a look outside. As he spoke, he walked out of the courtyard with his cane.
Chu Jianniang: "......"
Wei Xuan continued to make some kind of expression of watching the play, and the smile on his face was not very happy.
And Chu Jianniang had a dark face, not very embarrassed, and said, "Dad...... He read the poems all over. ”
"Well, here you go."
Chu Jianniang: "......"
She is very afraid that some of her actions will provoke the eyes of others, so she has always disguised herself tightly and was careful with every step. She was afraid that others would find out that she was actually a heartless person. Her restraint...... It's kind of innate.
It was only at this moment that Wei Xuan touched her little bit of emotion, and realized that she was also a careful person, and like him, she didn't dare to laugh and be happy. Obviously I'm a child at heart!
Chu Jianniang's hand was unconsciously warm, and it was Wei Xuan who came over to take her.
I saw that he also looked up at the bright fireworks, his eyes were bright, and he said softly: "Count how many there are over there." ”
For a while, it seems that there is a layer of warmth overflowing in my heart, which is very satisfying.
The excitement of Chinese New Year's Eve continues until the first day of the new year. Early in the morning of the first day of the new year, there are many people who visit relatives and friends to worship the New Year, and they say good New Year, and the joy is on their faces.
After exchanging blessings with both sides of the neighborhood, a room of people prepared ingredients and pastries at home, waiting for the second junior high school sister to return to the door, and the atmosphere was also peaceful and beautiful.
There was also the Shen family who did not go out to visit relatives, but something happened to the Shen family, which made the Shen family, which should have been a joyous one, feel like being poured a basin of cold water at this time, and it was not festive at all, and even depressing.
Outsiders are rumored that last night, someone threw a child at the door of Shen's house.
Yesterday's Chinese New Year's Eve, the vigil until the lights were turned off after three watches, there was nothing abnormal, but when the door was opened early this morning, I don't know who put a basket in front of the Shen family, and inside the basket was a baby, as big as Shen Yunyan's son.
There were also two sets of clothes next to the baby, one was a woman in crimson and the other was a child. Shen Yunyan only looked at these two clothes, and the whole person suddenly seemed to be hit by something.
This garment...... Isn't it that she lent the clothes of the dumb daughter-in-law and her son on the day when the little sister of the Wei family gave the wedding wine?
Immediately, Shen Yunyan's face stiffened.
"Dad, mother, you help take care of the children, I'll go out." With that, he went out.
The Wei family, Wei Xuan and Old Man Wei, father and son, finally moved out the chessboard that had been dusty for several years, and planned to play two games by the charcoal stove. (If you want to say that there is Yaxing in the village, there is indeed only the Wei family.) However, when the two of them had just set their hands ready, they heard someone shouting outside:
"Is Wei Xianggong here?"
When a few people in the house heard the noise, they went out to see that it was a servant.
The official ran all the way, the male hat on his head was already crooked, and his forehead was oozing a lot of sweat in the first month of the cold winter.
Wei Xuan greeted and said, "Your Excellency, this is ...... What's wrong? ”
The official straightened his hat, and was still panting: "My lord asked you to go, there is a murder case, and the old man Tanhua is not there, and the lord is scratching his head." ”
On the first day of the first lunar month, someone died on the first day of the new year, which is not very good. Several people in the room didn't know about the yamen outside, only that it was a dead person, and several people were stunned for a while.
Wei Xuan didn't hesitate, he turned around and said that he would go back. So he went to the county with the officials.
As soon as Wei Xuan left with his front foot, Shen Yunyan followed with his back foot, and before he could even say the words of New Year's wishes, he hurriedly pulled Chu Jianniang and walked out, and said in his mouth: "Something happened."
At this time, Chu Jianniang really felt that something was wrong, either the official took Wei Xuan away, or she was pulled away by Shen Yunyan. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, their family is busy!
Chu Jianniang was dragged back to the Shen family by Shen Yunyan all the way, and when she arrived, Shen Yunyan didn't say anything, and hugged a child to show her.
At first, Chu Jianniang thought that the Shen family had a guest and needed her to do something, but when she explained, she said that this child was the child of her dumb cousin-in-law, and she was instantly dumbfounded.
"This, this...... What's going on? ”
"I wonder what's going on? This morning I heard a noise at the door, and I thought it was a village child who was crying because he was scaring someone with firecrackers early in the morning. Who knew that when the door was opened, it was this basket. Am I doing sin, or have I been taken as a bodhisattva? The child was thrown at my doorstep. ”
Shen Yunyan's two willow eyebrows were about to be twisted together, and there was no place to vent her anger.
Chu Jianniang even questioned: "I don't understand...... How did the mute woman lose her child? According to the last time we saw her for the first time, that child is like her life, how can we give it up? ”
Chu Jianniang recalled the look in the eyes of the mute woman, this child seemed to be the last bright hope she gave birth to in despair, and like Shen Yunyan, she was a person who could do anything for the child, and she would never be a person who would lose the child.
"I thought the same thing, but now this kid is literally lost at my doorstep! What does it mean? As he spoke, he stomped his feet angrily.
Shen Yunyan was still in a hurry and had no clue, Chu Jianniang couldn't help but want to give her a look and say a few words to her, but she just thought about it.
After thinking quietly for a while, Chu Jianniang made a proposal: "Why don't we go over and ask, I'm afraid something happened to her family?" Otherwise, it wouldn't be like this. ”
This proposal and idea is correct, but if something doesn't happen, how can you just lose your child casually?
Shen Yunyan suddenly seemed to be pointed out a way, calmed down, and nodded: "Go, go and ask." ”
