Chapter 290: Chinese New Year's Eve

In a blink of an eye, it was the twenty-third, the time of the small year sacrifice. In the kitchen of the Chen family, there are statues of the Lord of the Stove and the Grandmother of the King of the Stove, and offerings of fresh fruits, mash grains and sugar melons. Chen Liuye was finally picked up from Baoxiang Temple, and everyone lost a lot of weight.

In the next few days, he wanted to go back to Baoding to worship the ancestral ancestral hall, but Gu Jinchao did not follow Chen Sanye, and it was not until the twenty-eighth that it was really lively.

The maids and servants in the house received new clothes for the New Year. Gu Jinchao's mansion has just been divided into two twelve-year-old girls, one of whom is the leaf picker who was sold from Sichuan to Beizhili.

When Gu Jinchao went to the attendant to pick a girl, the good-looking ones or the clever ones were all in front of her. Picking up leaves is also called Erya, squatting on the side to wipe the cabinet, and his hands are full of frostbite. Gu Jinchao recognized her at once, in her previous life, she was later sent to serve her, and in this life, she was still called by her mother-in-law in the attendant office, combing two small buns, with a yellow face and thin muscles.

The mother-in-law who followed her said: "That girl is quick with her hands and feet, I didn't see the third lady here!" ”

The second girl didn't dare to lift it, so she was so frightened that she asked for peace, hurriedly packed up the linen cloth, and went out with great difficulty.

Gu Jinchao noticed that the cotton shoes she was wearing were too worn, and there was a hole in her big toe.

In the previous life, the master and servant depended on each other, and in the end, she died there with herself.

Gu Jinchao nodded at the little girl who was standing in front of her, with a somewhat calm eyebrows. She was naturally happy to be hit by the third lady, but she quickly suppressed it. Gu Jinchao nodded to the second girl who walked to the door again: "Stay that too, and send it over together in a while." ”

Erya looked back, still not understanding what had happened. I saw that everyone surrounded Mrs. and went out, and the nurturing mother-in-law came over, looked at her a few times, and couldn't help muttering: "How did this get into the eyes of the third lady...... "Anyway, it is an honor to be selected by the third lady, even if you go to the third room to be the last girl, as for the big girl, they can't think of it."

Er Ya soon came over with another little girl who had been spotted packing up her things, and the people in the attendant office were surprised to see this little girl soaring into the sky. Erya was also surprised, when she came, she saw a girl picked, and I heard that it was Aunt You in the fourth room, who was very imposing, and picked the two most clever. Those like her can't even look at it......

The second girl came to the third room nervously, and was given a name by the lady to pick up leaves, and another little girl gave her a pick-up autumn.

When Qingpu got married, several girls in the Jin Dynasty room went to send it, and the ladies of each room sent someone to bring a box of money, she married very beautifully, but unfortunately Gu Jinchao couldn't go to see it. Two girls came to fill the vacancy of employment.

Gu Jinchao doesn't plan to promote Shiye for the time being. Picking up leaves to do things collides, and it is not suitable for personal service. However, it is still okay to let her leave the attendant office and come to Muxitang to live a more comfortable life.

On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, when the Spring Festival couplets and window flowers are pasted.

Gu Jinchao accompanied Chen Xi to cut the window flowers to play, and the more Chen Xuan wanted to paste them, he seemed happier than usual.

Chen Sanye watched in the house, and Jin Chao accompanied them in the courtyard to paste window flowers, all dressed like balls. Soon after the plum blossoms outside the house, the plum blossom branches were folded and inserted into the plum vase and placed on the Duobao Pavilion.

Chen Sanye smiled, Jin Chao and the child played well. He looked down again.

In the study, Chen Xi muttered to Gu Jinchao, and Gu Jinchao nodded in support of her: "...... Yes, you can take the brush! ”

Chen Xi hesitated a little when he held the brush, and after a while he took the red paper and brush to find Chen Sanye, and Gu Jinchao followed behind her with an inkstone. Chen Sanye raised his head and saw Gu Jinchao and Chen Xi standing in front of him, looking like they had something to ask.

"What's wrong?" He asked softly.

Gu Jinchao saw that Chen Xi didn't speak, so he said, "Third Master, ask for a Mobao." ”

Chen Sanye saw the red paper...... It turned out that he wanted him to help them write Spring Festival couplets!

"Bring it." He put down the book, took the brush, spread out the red paper on the kang table, dipped it in the polished ink, and began to write.

Chen Xi looked at his father's eyes with more admiration, and waited until he walked out with the Spring Festival couplets before talking to Gu Jinchao in a whisper.

Chen Sanye listened to her praise herself in the back, shook his head, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

After pasting the Spring Festival couplets, it was almost noon. The two children went back.

Gu Jinchao walked in, and Chen Sanye held her hand to help her warm up first. Ask her, "Have fun?" ”

The girl brought the hand stove over, and Gu Jinchao pulled out her hand to hold the hand stove. She plays with the children and likes these two children. didn't really think it was funny, Chen Sanye asked her why this was like asking a child. Gu Jinchao could only reluctantly nod.

Chen Sanye thought she was very cute, and hugged her and sat on his lap. Gu Jinchao was stunned for a moment, his arms were wrapped, and he picked up his book again. didn't do anything, just hugged her and read a book together.

It was snowing outside the window again, and the sky was getting a little overcast.

Gu Jinchao was a little worried, the plum she planted was not very cold-tolerant, and in such extremely cold weather, I am afraid that it will not be able to bloom. I'm going to say hello to Mrs. Chen in a while, I'm afraid I won't even be able to walk......

Sure enough, after a while, Mrs. Chen sent a message over, saying that there was no need to say hello today.

As a result, she was held by Chen Sanye and read a book for an afternoon, and her back was sore. He didn't let go of her until it was time for dinner.

Gu Jinchao quietly stayed away from him, and Chen Sanye didn't care. After dinner, Gu Jinchao went to his study to continue practicing seal calligraphy, and now he has written a little well. wrote it to Chen Sanye, and Chen Sanye also felt that she had made significant progress.

"How are you going to reward me?" He flipped through a few pages with his fingers and asked her.

Gu Jinchao asked him rhetorically: "What reward?" ”

"I'll teach you how to practice calligraphy, you can't teach it in vain." Chen Sanye explained to her, "You always have to be paid. ”

Do you want to be paid too? It is not natural for a husband to teach his wife.

Gu Jinchao smiled bitterly: "Okay, what do you want." ”

Chen Sanye thought for a while and said, "I haven't thought about it yet, but you come over first." He beckoned, Gu Jinchao could only walk over, and sure enough, he was hugged into his arms again. Gu Jinchao felt that he was at a loss, gritted his teeth and said, "Third Master, let's talk about it first, there can only be one reward." ”

"Hmm." He answered. "How much more can you give?"

The candle flame flickered, and there was silence for a while. However, Chen Sanye soon had an idea, and Gu Jinchao asked him curiously: "What is it?" ”

Chen Sanye said, "Well, I'll tell you at night." ”

…… Isn't it night?

The next day, Gu Jinchao finally understood what the reward was, and she felt that this person was more well-dressed. How can there still be that posture!

…… On the thirtieth day of the lunar month, Gu Jinchao got up very early. Go with Sanye Chen to greet Mrs. Chen.

The children were dressed very festively, and it was lively inside.

Chen Sanye and Chen Erye talked, Gu Jinchao and Yu Wanxue discussed the matter of sealing the red in the third room, and every year during the Chinese New Year, they had to give the servant woman a certain amount of red, and first told her the amount, so that she could reward people in private according to herself.

As he was talking, Chen Xuanran and others came to say goodbye.

Old Madam Chen pulled Chen Xuanran to speak: "...... Where did you go with your brothers, only to come at this time! ”

Chen Xuanran said: "On the way, I talked to the seventh brother about the old days, I didn't have time to come back when he was in Hualang, now I will make up for him." ”

Chen Xuanqing stood behind him with his back hand, just smiling.

Chen Xuanrang couldn't sit still, and pouted Chen Xuanran: "Big brother, you haven't come back for a year." Let's test Hualang's talents. ”

Chen Xuanan was a little curious: "Second brother, how can this be tested?" ”

Chen Xuanran quickly asked Chen Zhao to take her small drum and said, "Beat the drum to pass the flowers, and the person who receives the flowers makes a poem, which needs to be a pun text." Can't do it...... "A few brothers often take Chen Xuanqing to do bad things, and the general punishment is to punish alcohol, but today at home...... Chen Xuanran paused and said, "Just punish copying Buddhist scriptures!" "Also to my grandmother's appetite.

Mrs. Chen smiled and played with the young people. Chen Xuanqing was a little helpless, when the brothers played like this, Chen Xuanran would always fix him.

Sure enough, the drumming stopped just when the flower reached him. Chen Xuanran smiled and said: "Let's Tanhualang is newly married, let's use the seventh brother and sister as a pun!" ”

Yu Wanxue was a little embarrassed, and Gu Jinchao also felt a little bad, and was about to say that he would change the topic otherwise. However, Mrs. Chen didn't mind: "It's okay, Xuanqing, you just do it!" ”

Yu Wanxue's cheeks were slightly red, and several cousins-in-law smiled and signaled to her.

Chen Xuanqing has not published an article for a long time, Chen Xuanran knows Chen Xuanqing's talent, and he must have made it easy for him to do the article. I don't know if I've been reading for an extra year, and if I've been more diligent.

Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Chen Xuanfeng also joked to him: "Tanhualang, if you can't do it, you have to copy Buddhist scriptures!" ”

Chen Xuanqing's face was calm, and after a while, he lowered his eyes and said, "I can't do it, I'm willing to punish you for copying Buddhist scriptures." ”

Chen Xuanran was stunned for a moment, and for a while, the atmosphere in the western room was condensed. Yu Wanxue's face was also pale, the story of Chen Xuanqing's seven-step poem is well known to everyone, and she naturally knows it...... With her as a material, why can't you do it?

It was still Chen Xuanran who played a round: "It seems that the seventh brother is really retreating if he doesn't advance, it's not enough to punish copying Buddhist scriptures, you have to drink with me for a while!" ”

Chen Xuanqing raised his head and smiled in response.

Chen Sanye came over, and when he saw Chen Xuanqing also there, his face was cold.

Everyone except Mrs. Chen stood up and saluted him, and he bowed his head. He walked over and said to Gu Jinchao: "What are you talking about, you can hear laughter from afar......

Gu Jinchao also felt embarrassed for Yu Wanxue, and just said: "Beat the drum and pass the flowers." ”

Chen Sanye sat beside her and watched with her for a while, and there was nothing left to see. He was also with her all day.

In the evening, he accompanied Mrs. Chen to keep the New Year, and Chen Xuanfeng took Chen Xuanyu and a few people to set off firecrackers, which was very lively. After a while, everyone left one after another. Gu Jinchao chatted with Mrs. Chen for a while, a little drowsy, and when Mrs. Chen also went to rest, she rested on Sanye Chen's shoulder.

Except for the sound of firecrackers, it was quiet all around.

Gu Jinchao suddenly spoke to him softly: "Third Master, do you doubt my ......?"

She drank some rice wine and went up.

Chen Sanye touched her head and said nothing. She must know something......

After a while, he picked her up, and the two of them went back to Muxitang.
