Chapter 18: Dumplings
When Ling Jun arrived at the Good Doctor's Workshop, it was already completely dark, and on the street, many children who received red envelopes from the Good Doctor's Workshop were happily frolicking, carrying lanterns and setting off firecrackers to celebrate the New Year. --
Ling Jun remembered the mark of the Good Doctor Workshop clearly, and couldn't help but be stunned when she saw the red envelopes in the hands of those children clearly painted with the mark.
His little 'female', how many people have given Red Envelopes for the New Year?
It's not that he's stingy and reluctant to let her take the money out, but ...... The tree is very popular, and her money is 'exposed' like this, if she is seen by people with bad intentions, she will be worried in her heart......
As the saying goes, don't be afraid of thieves stealing, just afraid of thieves, most of the villains are like this, as long as you can get money, you don't care if you are a good person or a wicked person, in case ......
Sighing lightly, Ling Jun pulled in the reins, urging Jingyun to speed up, in the past, he only thought that it would be good to make his little 'girl' happy, and give her more money to 'spend', but he never expected that she would use such a method to 'spend' the money he gave her!
Accumulating virtue and doing good deeds, helping the poor, is of course a good thing, but now she is a commoner, just imagine, she is a commoner, she does more things than the government, more popular than the government, how can those "adults" in the government sit still, how can they ask for merit and rewards from above, and add officials to knighthood?
Although the town is small and regulated, it is not different from other places.
If there is a greedy person who is greedy for money, vainly trying to murder the little 'girl' of his family, robbing money, and there are officials who are jealous of her, covering up and conniving, and turning a blind eye, wouldn't that be ......
It seems that it is time for his husband to come forward and teach his "ignorant" little 'woman' a good lesson!
The lights in the good doctor's workshop are bright, the shop 'door' is wide open, and at the 'door' entrance, there is a table with a red cloth, Liu Qingxin is standing behind the table, and is distributing red envelopes to dozens of children gathered around the table, Sister-in-law Jiang stands aside, holding Xiaobao who has grown up several times, and each child who receives the red envelope will happily pinch the 'hair' pen on the table, run to the red cloth next to the wall, and write the words "so-and-so for Your Majesty's praise" crookedly.
The little 'girl' in his family is really a 'flower'.
Ling Jun sighed, and in his mind, he could already vaguely emerge that Emperor Longqing, who regarded his good name as his life, would 'revea' his expression when he saw this "generous gift".
A child, give a red envelope of five coppers, in the whole town, all the children combined, at best, that is, four or five hundred, 'spending' less than three thousand coppers, less than three taels of silver, plus that one red cloth, two taels more...... But these New Year's gifts that can't be used for five taels of silver are sent to Emperor Longqing, but what is allowed is that it can make him happy, and he feels that he is more satisfied than the congratulatory gift that he bought for 500,000 taels of silver!
"Madam, the third master is back!"
Sister-in-law Jiang's eyes were sharp, and she saw Ling Jun riding from a distance, her face was happy, and she hurriedly stretched out her hand, tugged at Liu's light-hearted sleeve, and "reminded" her, "Madame, look!" Over there in the alley! ”
Although I heard from Gu Luochen's subordinates that Ling Jun was going to come back to accompany her and Xiaobao for the New Year, thinking of Ling Jun's identity and the tense situation in Yanjing, this kind of unreasonableness could not be a promise made by Ling Jun, a cautious person, she didn't take it to heart, and she didn't take it seriously. [There are almost all the books I want to read.,It's much faster than the general station to be stable and updated.,There's no ad reads for the whole text;.] ]
Therefore, at this moment, listening to Sister-in-law Jiang, Lingjun is back, Liu Qingxin couldn't help but be stunned, looked in the direction she pointed, and when she really saw Lingjun, a feeling of surprise filled her heart in an instant.
He actually came back to celebrate the New Year with her!
It's not just talking!
Seeing that Liu Qingxin was only standing in place, looking at herself in a daze, completely ignoring the children who were reaching out to her to ask for New Year's money, and their expressions were complicated, and there seemed to be water flashing in their eyes, Ling Jun couldn't help but smile, jumped off the horse, walked straight towards her, took the unfinished red envelopes in her hand and stuffed them to Sister-in-law Jiang, and took Xiaobao in her arms, "Why is this expression?" Didn't you stand here on purpose, waiting for me to come back? ”
"Who was waiting for you! Lecher! ”
The joy in his heart was indescribable, but he refused to lose half a point to Ling Jun, Liu Qingxin turned Ling Jun fiercely, so he twisted himself and went to the good doctor's workshop, "Come back so late, is it reasonable?" Have you had dinner? ”
"I'm afraid of delaying my journey, I don't dare to eat enough for lunch, lady, you let people make me yang 'spring' noodles to eat, okay?"
Ling Jun knew that Liu's light heart was just hard-mouthed, and he didn't really complain that he was late when he came back, so he rubbed it beside her with a smile, and flatteringly 'touched' a small box from his own shirt and handed it to her, "For your New Year's gift, I specially made it made, look, do you like it?" ”
It is the nature of a 'woman' to like gifts and surprises, and Liu Qingxin is also a 'woman', so she is naturally no exception.
Turning his head, he glanced at Ling Jun, and seeing his smile like a 'spring' wind, Liu Qingxin couldn't help sighing, and refused to admit it in his mouth, but in his heart, he already understood that in this round, she lost, and she had no power to fight back.
"Returning the favor?"
Liu Qingxin said as she took the small box that Ling Jun handed to her and flipped it in the palm of her hand.
"It doesn't count."
Ling Jun hugged Xiaobao and rubbed it beside Liu Qingxin, stretched out a finger out, pointed to the small box, and motioned for Liu Qingxin to open it, "This gift is something I prepared early in the morning, and I want to give it to you as a New Year's gift. ”
"Who doesn't want your return gift!"
Liu Qingxin didn't rush to open the small box sent by Ling Jun, only scolded him, put the small box into the purse hanging on his waist, stretched out his hand, and took Xiaobao from his arms, "New Year's Day, what kind of yang 'spring' noodles to eat, I asked the cook to bring you some food to cushion your stomach first, and after a while, it's time to eat dumplings!" ”
"Dumplings? Over here...... Eating dumplings too? ”
Ling Jun grew up to seven years old in the barracks, and what he ate and drank was no different from that of the soldiers in the army.
At that time, Lingjun didn't know his true identity, and he had always regarded the old general as his grandfather, so he naturally couldn't help but be filial to the old general's sick person for deliciousness, and it was precisely because of that incident that he was young and left a "demon" in his heart, and he had no ability to resist dumplings, a very ordinary food.
As long as it is dumplings, no matter what kind of filling, he loves to eat them, and he can eat them all-you-can-eat, no, to be exact, he can eat them all-you-can-eat.
Of course, Ling Jun's hobby is known to no one other than himself.
"Don't like to eat?"
Ling Jun's question made Liu Qingxin unconsciously stop, turn his head, and look at his face, "What do you want to eat?" Rice cake? Or ......"
"Dumplings!"
Lingjun, a person who loves dumplings so much, how could he let the dumplings in his mouth fly away inexplicably? didn't have time for Liu to continue to talk lightly, so he hurriedly "shouted" his wish, "Is there a cabbage pig 'meat' filling, or a radish pig 'meat' filling?" ”
Ling Jun's childish reaction amused Liu Qingxin at once, looking at his performance, she unconsciously thought of herself, thinking of the scene in her previous life, when her master had just brought her home from the orphanage.
A large plate full of dumplings, full of forty, five-year-old her, she didn't even think about it, she ate that plate to the bottom, if it weren't for her master afraid that she would eat too much, she would be able to eat it cleanly!
"You like dumplings too?"
The same hobby, it is always easy for people to be unconsciously close, listening to Ling Jun, also like to eat dumplings, Liu Qingxin couldn't help but be stunned, in her mind, want Ling Jun to be born in the royal family, to the worst, is also raised under the 'door' of General Jiang, should be what you want to eat, and you will not be wronged to the extent that you want to eat something but can't, "In the palace...... Won't the cook know how to do it? ”
"What else do you need to like reads;!"
Ling Jun was naturally embarrassed to tell Liu Qingxin that he was a "demon" left when he was a child, coughed unnaturally, changed the topic, and put the matter over, "It's like, En...... It's like I like you, does that need a reason? ”
"Dengzi!"
Liu Qingxin was amused by Ling Jun's sentence, blushed, and scolded him, so he hugged Xiaobao, sped up his steps and walked to the backyard, while walking, he followed the sister-in-law Wang who was working in the shop and ordered, "Sister-in-law Wang, let the kitchen cook some dumplings, the old man is in a hurry to come back, and he hasn't eaten dinner yet." ”
The folk New Year is not as dull and boring as in the palace, and craftsmen can always make something new to support their families in order to make money, and sell them to people who have been busy all year long, want to rest, and want to be lively, such as firecrackers.
Xiaobao is a bold and outrageous child, not only is it not like other people's children, but he trembles with fright when he hears the sound of firecrackers, but he is ...... As soon as I heard the sound of firecrackers, as soon as I saw others lighting firecrackers, I danced excitedly, and I cried if I didn't buy it......
Liu Qingxin "struggled" with him for a while, and saw that this kid was twisted in temper, and resolutely refused to accept softness, afraid that he would be really hungry, so he had to give in by himself, and let Sister-in-law Jiang buy a lot of fireworks that would not sound and come back, and let Xiaobao see the excitement, Xiaobao "got his wish fulfilled", and he no longer made a fuss, and after watching the fireworks "flowers", he ate "milk" well, and after watching the fireworks "flowers", he went to sleep obediently.
Ling Jun didn't know about this, so naturally, he couldn't help but be surprised that a lot of fireworks were placed on the wall in the yard, "Careless, why did you buy so many fireworks 'flowers'?" Did you put it on tonight? ”
"Coax Xiaobao to eat and sleep, I was afraid that the weather would be dry and dry, and it would not be safe to put it in the firewood room, so I asked Brother Zhang to pile it up in the yard and put on oily paper to prevent 'moisture'."
Liu Qingxin was already surprised by Xiaobao's habits, and when he heard Ling Jun ask, he replied to him casually, "Come into the house first, you have an empty stomach, no firepower, and it's not worth it if you get sick for the New Year." ”r
