Chapter 362: A New Product from Another World
Ren Tian lobbied very accurately, and in the second half of the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, goose feathers and heavy snow gradually drifted. And the silence of the city was also broken by the women who sat in the hall to keep watch, and they stayed up all night without sleeping, just to set off firecrackers to welcome the new year, according to the custom. The diligent lit the firecrackers when he was in the child, and as soon as the time passed, the crackling and joyful firecrackers sounded one after another to welcome the New Year.
Those who sleep lightly, such as Qianyu, will be woken up, if it weren't for Chu Han by his side, don't expect to fall asleep again in the second half of the night.
Those who sleep deeply, such as carefree and autumn cicadas, are at most awakened by the first sound of firecrackers, then open their eyes, blink twice, and then turn their heads back and continue to sleep. The next year is a woman's business, and it has nothing to do with men, whether before or after marriage, men can sleep a complete and good sleep as usual, and they don't have to work as hard as women.
New Year's greetings on the morning of the first day of the new year. Although Chu Han did not have any relatives in Shunfeng City, Chu Mansion ushered in a wave of people~~ They all came to pay New Year's greetings with gifts in the whistling north wind that swept by their ears.
Generally speaking, even if it snows on Chinese New Year's Eve, it will stop the next morning, or it will become sporadic light snow.
But no one expected that this year would be so different from previous years. The ground was already silvery white, covered with cold air everywhere, but large snowflakes were like a fan that didn't want money, and they still attacked pedestrians in the howling bitter cold wind.
Tai Shu, who came first, is better than Shi Fei, a person who practices martial arts, has the ability to resist the wind and cold, but Shi Fei's husband is much more embarrassed, even if he is supported by his wife, he walks quite slowly in the cold head wind.
Not only him, but on the streets that have been covered with snow, almost every ordinary person who goes out to pay New Year's greetings is to shrink his neck and bow his head slightly, and walk forward in small steps against the wind.
When they met acquaintances who also came out to pay New Year's greetings, although they also smiled and congratulated each other on the New Year, because the wind was too strong, the wind and snow poured into their mouths, so they stopped talking too much, making the streets not as noisy as on the first day of the previous year.
At this moment when the footprints are covered by the falling snow in a blink of an eye, no one feels beautiful and romantic, only thinking about how to avoid the invasion of the relentless cold wind.
If there are guests, it is natural to receive ~~ even if it is a subordinate.
Chu Han, who was keeping the New Year in bed and letting Jin An and Jin Quan set off firecrackers to pick up the New Year, got up to wash, and Qianyu, who was sleeping lightly, also got up, and then, Qianruo also got up, so the three of them washed their faces and teeth under the service of Qiu Yin.
After washing up, Qianyu and Qianruo first squatted slightly to Chu Han and said, "The wife has an auspicious New Year!" ”
Looking at the smiles on the faces of the two, Chu Han kissed each of them on the forehead, and then took out two paper red envelopes that had been prepared long ago from his sleeves, handed them to them, and said with a smile: "Accept the red envelopes, accept the festivities, we will have a prosperous life this year!" ”
The two took it with a smile unceremoniously: "Thank you, wife!" ”
Chu Han put on a cotton hat for them, carried Qianruo to the main hall first, and then came back to pick up Qianyu.
When the three of them arrived, Shi Feicai knelt on one knee with his husband and Tai Shu: "My subordinates have seen the young master and the young master!" ”
Then he got up and bowed and said, "My subordinates have given New Year's greetings to the young master and the young master's husband!" ”
Qianruo held three cloth red envelopes in his hand, walked over with a smile on his face, and handed them to the three people: "Accept the red envelopes, accept the festivities, this year's day, everyone is having a prosperous life!" ”
"Thank you, young master! Thank you, young master! The three of them did not shirk, and took the red money bag to thank them~~ Within half a month from the first day of the new year to the Lantern Festival, even if they have small grievances and festivals on weekdays, they will not and cannot refuse the red envelope, because rejecting the red envelope is refusing to bless.
What's more, this is the best opportunity to reconcile, people are taking the initiative to make peace with red envelopes, what are you still hypocritical? If you lose a relationship, you will be talked about being stingy and narrow-minded.
"Let's all sit down and eat a bowl of dumplings together in a while." Chu Han smiled faintly, "After eating, you two should go to pay New Year's greetings, and Liu Liyao will stay for lunch." With such a big wind and snow, he is pregnant, so don't take him around, bake the fire here and warm up, just talk to Qianyu Qianruo and them. ”
"Yes, young master!" Shi Fei hurriedly said: "Then it will bother the young master and the young master!" ”
She originally wanted to send her master home to rest after greeting him, and she didn't plan to take him elsewhere. As soon as Chu Han said this, she gladly accepted it, the three pregnant husbands were together, and they were not afraid of having no topic to talk about, and their husbands could just ask them a thing or two, after all, the young husband had been pregnant for several months, and no matter how he said it, he had more experience than his own husband.
Subsequently, knowing that the head of the house and the master and the husband had gotten up, the servants and servants of the Chu Mansion went to the main hall one after another to pay New Year's greetings to the head of the house and the two side husbands, and the financial housekeeper Qianruo distributed the four red cloth money bags prepared, and he was happy and emotional: he used to be a slave, and every year he received red envelopes from the master of the palace, but this year he became the master of the red envelopes......
The two kitchen women who took turns to cook dumplings and pay New Year's greetings were very happy to find that there were eight taels of silver in it after opening the red cloth money bag.
The two people who cleaned the courtyard and guarded the door were equally happy to dance after looking at the silver in the money bag.
The four of them were all happy, and the small resentment that they were not idle on the first day of junior high immediately disappeared.
Not only did the subordinates in the Chu Mansion get a New Year's red envelope, but even Lao Wei, the car woman who stayed behind for the New Year because the distance was too far, also got a share.
In the main hall, the charcoal fire in the three braziers burned vigorously, because the wind and snow were too strong, the hall door was also closed, only a trace of the window was left to release charcoal gas, and the lamps and candles on the four copper candlesticks were all lit, and the candlelight made the hall appear warmer.
Shi Fei and Tai Shu and others were eating dumplings with bowls, and the three leaders of the first meeting also braved the wind and snow to come early to pay New Year's greetings, and then there were the shopkeepers of the Zuixian Building, the shopkeepers of the Chu Group, the gold tellers, the twelve new stars, the other innkeepers who were benefited by the Chu Group, and the representatives of the villagers outside the city who were favored by them......
Qianruo began to have morning sickness when he ate dumplings, and as long as he had morning sickness, Chu Han didn't care about anything, no matter who the person who came to pay New Year's greetings was, after saying sorry, he would hold him in his arms as if no one was around, patted him slowly, and fed him with a cup.
No one expected that so many people would come to pay New Year's greetings one after another, Qiu Yin and Qiu Cicada were too busy, Ren Tianyou, who got up late, was woken up by Chu Han's transmission, and after washing up at speed, he hurried to help socialize.
Shi Fei and Tai Shu took a look, yes, don't rush to pay New Year's greetings to your relatives, let's help here first!
The rich people who came to pay their respects to the New Year looked at the young lord Chu who was cold and indifferent and silent in front of people, but he was gentle and caring for the beautiful husband in every way, and he did not care about the face of being a woman.
Wuwu, who got up the latest, slammed into the hall door with his head in a rat-hugging manner, and at first glance he was stunned for a moment when he saw so many people sitting in the hall. But he was just stunned for a moment, his eyes fell on Chu Han's side, and he hurriedly ran over to help pat his back: "Brother Qianruo, are you uncomfortable again?" ”
Qianzhi vomited for a while, then eased up a little, raised his head and smiled reluctantly: "It's okay, it's much better." ”
He turned to Chu Han and said, "Wife, if you go back to the house, otherwise it will ruin everyone's interest." ”
Chu Han took out a handkerchief and wiped his lips and said, "As soon as you leave, I will follow you to take care of you, Qianyu has no one to take care of, so I have to go together." Isn't it rude to the guests that the hosts are gone? Besides, they all have husbands and children, and they have already gone through this experience, and they will understand. ”
When everyone heard this, they hurriedly laughed and agreed: "Yes, yes! ”
Yi Weiwei smiled and said, "I think when my husband was pregnant, he vomited more than you!" ”
Shopkeeper He patted his thigh: "What you said reminded me that my junior is pregnant, and I don't know if I vomit or not, I have to go back and take a look!" Young Master Chu, after drinking your tea, I'll go back first, you guys sit down for a while, He Mou will go first! ”
Chu Han helped Qianruo get up and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper He has broken the bill, go slowly." Tianyou, send him to the shopkeeper for me. ”
Ren Tianyou just stood up, and the others also put down their tea bowls and said goodbye one after another according to the words of the shopkeeper.
Chu Han greeted them one by one, and Ren Tianyou sent them outside the Chu Mansion at one time.
Seeing that everyone was gone, he was busy checking the gifts piled on the table to see if there was anything delicious.
"What a glutton!" Chu Han shook his head with a smile, didn't care about him, and ordered, "Qiu Yin, let the kitchen cook a bowl of dumplings for Wu Wu, and then get me some cotton, needle and thread, scissors and new cotton cloth, and the tea bowl will be collected later." ”
"Yes, young master!" Qiu Yin reflexively responded, and then was stunned: Scissors? Sewing?
The others were also surprised, and said without worry: "Sister Chu, what do you want needlework and cotton cloth for?" ”
Chu Han said lightly: "You'll know in a while." ”
Then he led Qianruo to sit by the brazier, and asked Jin An to bring the summer recliner to put on the brazier, and spread a quilt for Qianyu to lie down. As soon as Ren Tianyou and Wuwu saw it, they sat around. Chu Han beckoned to the three of Shi Fei: "Don't stand, come and sit." ”
So everyone sat around the brazier.
When Qiu Yin took the things, Chu Han sewed them by himself.
Few women can do needlework, everyone's eyes are unblinking, and when she says "okay", she doesn't understand: the crooked stitches are ugly or not, but what is this palm-sized square with two straps sewn on?
Chu Han hung the straps on both sides of the homemade thing on Ren Tianyou's ears and said: "This is called a mask, wear a thickened one with cotton in winter, which can be windproof and warm, and a thin one in other seasons can prevent wind, sand and dust." Go out and try it and see how it goes. ”
Ren Tianyou immediately walked out wearing the strange new thing, and nodded straight after coming back from a circle in the courtyard: "Not bad, not bad!" It's warm and doesn't interfere with breathing! By the way, how did you come up with this brain? ”
When he saw it, he immediately clapped his hands and shouted: "This is good, this is good!" Sister Chu, I want it too! ”
Qiu Cicada also coaxed: "I want it too, I want it too!" Let my brother sew for me at night! ”
Qian Yu on the recliner sat up and held his stomach and said, "Is the wife planning to make it in batches and sell it?" ”
Chu Han smiled: "Not bad." She looked at Shi Fei and Tai Shu, "I'll make a few more scarves and shawls in a while, you come over to see after the New Year in the afternoon, and go to the fashion clothing shop Manager Li on the third day of junior high school, and let her hurry up to make masks, scarves and shawls of various colors and patterns when the market opens on the eighth day of the new year, and embroider the four small words 'Chu Group' on the corner." I will tell you about the various ways to wear the other two things, as for promotion, Xu Qirong and Luo Rui can, and then hire a few people with better looks and figures
, a man with an extroverted personality who is more open-minded, arrange a catwalk ......"
