Chapter 245 New Year's Eve
The incense case has been placed, and Mrs. Huo is also here, she is wearing a rose-wrapped gown, a leather cloak with a scarlet face on the outside, no hood, revealing a snow-white rabbit lying on her head, and the opal shines in the morning light.
Seeing her sister wearing an official uniform and walking in all directions, Mrs. Huo still couldn't hold back, and covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed.
Huo Roufeng took the lead in kneeling, praying silently in her mouth, no one knew what she was talking about, until she shouted long live, and everyone shouted with her in a daze, the two little girls protected the official hat on Huo Roufeng's head one by one, but in the end the hat still fell off, so she hurriedly put the official hat back on her back.
Except for Huo Roufeng herself, no one knew that she was not kneeling to the person on the dragon chair now, but the former owner of the Forbidden City, her mother.
This Forbidden City was taken by his mother from the hands of Emperor Wai of the previous dynasty, and in the end, his mother also died in the Forbidden City.
She didn't know where her mother's soul had gone, and she might still be in the Forbidden City, looking coldly at the group of ghosts.
After worshipping the Forbidden City, everyone returned to the hall, Huo Da Niang and Huo Roufeng knelt down at the two empty Taishi chairs at the top, and then Huo Da Niang sat down at the bottom, and Huo Roufeng gave her sister a New Year's greeting.
Mrs. Huo smiled and took out a red seal from her arms and handed it to her, saying, "When you grow up a year old, you have to be well-behaved." ”
Huo Roufeng's heart was sour, when his father was alive, he would say the same sentence every Chinese New Year.
She grew bigger and bigger, but her father couldn't see it.
She couldn't help herself cry, and pretended to be happy: "Hey, sister, didn't you say that you won't give me New Year's money for the New Year this year?" ”
Mrs. Huo said with a smile: "If you don't give it, you won't give it, and you will really not give it in a few years." ”
Huo Roufeng giggled, took the red envelope into her arms, sat down beside her sister in a few years, and said, "I will grow up in a few years, and I don't want you to give me New Year's money." ”
Mrs. Huo said angrily: "Just you? My sister doesn't believe it, I'm afraid you'll chase me when you're in your thirties or forties. ”
This time, the maids in the hall all laughed.
The stewards of each courtyard brought their subordinates in turn to pay New Year's greetings to the Huo sisters, and Lu Yun and Cai Qin took out a plate of red pies and sent them down, and let the little maid take the broken silver and copper coins, and sent them to the rough maids and ladies in the outer courtyard.
Shuangjing Hutong is full of laughter, Huo Da Niang gave everyone a holiday, from the first to the fifth day of the first year, the shift in the house on duty, in the capital home home for the New Year, there are relatives to go to relatives, from Hangzhou will meet to go shopping to play small cards, this is the first Spring Festival after the Huo family to the capital, everyone is very happy.
At this time, the shopkeepers of the various shops in the capital have also arrived, and everyone has come in to greet the owner of the New Year, they are different from the people of the Huo family, although they have already given New Year's gifts, but today they came over, and they all brought small toys to Huo Roufeng.
The shopkeepers are not qualified to give the ninth master New Year's money, but it doesn't hurt to play small things.
So by the time the shopkeepers went to the front hall for a reunion dinner after paying their respects, Huo Roufeng had already received a lot of delicious and fun food.
There are the latest clay figures of the clay figurine, there are birds with brackets from the West, as well as the kite of the Li family in Weifang, the twelve-colored candy of the sugar six sons' family, and even the goldfish in the blue and white porcelain jar, and the rabbit in the small cage, among which the gift given by the female shopkeeper of the cloud embroidery workshop is the most chic, which is a complete set of puppets, which is said to be brought from the south.
Huo Roufeng didn't want to go to dinner, if it weren't for Cai Qin telling her that this was the annual reunion dinner of the shopkeepers, and she, the ninth master, would have to attend, she would rather be hungry than play with this puppet.
Therefore, at night, Huo Roufeng refused to sleep, and asked a few girls to play for her in the house with puppets, and the play was made up by her according to the appearance of these puppets.
The dress of these puppets is different from the drama they often watch, it is said that it is the style of the south, this south will definitely not be Jiangnan, Huo Roufeng suspects that it may be Liangguang or Fujian.
So she said to Cai Qin: "Tomorrow I will carry these puppets to the carriage, and I will bring them with me when I go to the barbecue." ”
She wanted to ask Zhanhuai if he knew the origin of the puppets.
At this moment, Xiao Ye came in and said, "Ninth Master, Zhang Xuan asked someone to pass a message from the front yard, saying that Doctor Luo personally came to the gate to report the news, saying that the child had been found, please don't worry about the eldest lady and the ninth master." ”
Huo Roufeng sighed, thinking that this Xiao Yuan was really naughty, so many people searched for a day and a night to find it, and he didn't know where he ran to on a cold day, maybe he was already frostbitten.
She said to Xiao Ye: "Go get some medicinal herbs and let Dr. Luo bring them back." ”
Xiao Ye turned around and was about to go out, when he was stopped by Cai Qin: "How can there be any medicinal herbs for the New Year, Ninth Master, you might as well replace them with supplements." ”
Huo Roufeng touched her nose and muttered: "There are so many things for women, and they are annoying." ”
Then she waved her hand and said to Xiao Ye: "Go ahead, just change it to a tonic, or make up anything." ”
Her sentence "There are so many things for women, annoying" was still heard by Cai Qin, Cai Qin looked at the back of the ninth master walking to the back room with his hands behind his back, pacing in all directions, and couldn't help but worry, the ninth master should not really become a man one day.
She thought about it again, if the ninth master really became a man, wouldn't that be a great thing? The Huo family has a future, the ninth master can marry a wife and have children, and the old man Huo can also be blind under the nine springs.
Just thinking about it, she shed tears, thinking that this was the New Year, and she couldn't shed tears, so she quickly wiped them away.
After all, the ninth master still can't really become a woman, or if the ninth master can't become a woman, and the longer he grows, the more he looks like a man, what can he do in the future?
She herself is about to get married, even if the marriage has not yet been completed, but depending on the meaning of the eldest lady and the ninth master, she must be married.
She got married, what should the ninth master do?
Jiu Ye is becoming more and more like a man, who will he marry in the future?
Who would marry a man?
The more Cai Qin thought about it, the more she couldn't think about it, and she wanted to cry again.
And Huo Roufeng played for a day, she was already sleepy and tired, her head hit the pillow, and she fell asleep.
In the dream, she and Zhanhuai played with those puppets, and Zhanhuai also sang, which was very ugly.
At this time, in the Huo Jiadong Mansion, Huo Sijin was lying on the bed, but he couldn't sleep for a long time.
It was only today that she met her brother for the first time, the elder brother who had been studying at Taishan Academy.
Everyone thought that Huo Dagongzi would be able to arrive in the capital two or three days ago, but no one thought that he would not arrive until noon on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
