Chapter 80: The Misunderstanding of the New Year (I)
Who is it? Who's sticking to the root of the wall?
Is it the second daughter? My first reaction was that she, with the character of the second daughter, the possibility is very high. I didn't see her when I came back that day, and I didn't come out until Lanling left. After the weather turned cold, the family of three slept on the big kang, and the second daughter had not found a chance to stick to the wall for a long time, if there was a condition, I think she would not let it go easily, especially when I was alone with Lanling.
However, the suspect is not only the second woman, and Ying also has a motive for committing the crime. Since she tricked me with a handkerchief that day, she hasn't mentioned the matter of Lanling, but if she doesn't say it, it doesn't mean that she doesn't want to. Maybe she wanted to further prove the relationship between me and Lanling, so she didn't trigger it, and when the evidence was conclusive, she would take down the criminals in one fell swoop and catch them all.
"Hehe", self-deprecatingly reached out and patted the door of the head, it was really nerve-wracking. Yiying's character will never climb to the root of the wall to eavesdrop, if she has something in her heart, she can't hold it for so long, she would have tortured me to extract a confession a long time ago, there is no need to sneak around. And listening to her tone of deception that day with her handkerchief, she didn't care much about the affairs of me and Lanling, but only symbolically admonished a few words; Otherwise, Ying instructed the second daughter, and the two women who both wanted to know the inside story colluded with each other to use the second daughter's business advantages to obtain first-hand information?
Crazy, I can go to the criminal department like this, and be the captain of the criminal investigation team or something. In the Chinese New Year's Eve, a family of three happily celebrated the New Year, and I smoked something early in the morning.
"What is the husband thinking about in the morning?" Ying on the side reached out to probe my forehead, and moved my chin again, "Stick out your tongue." ”
"Oh!" I stuck out my tongue long and made an imaginary hanged man's expression, my eyes deliberately turned upward, and my white eyes flashed back and forth, disgusting.
"Bah! What does it look like for the New Year. Ying was twisted aside by my grimace, "No tongue coating, it's all fine, get up quickly, there are a lot of things going on today." ”
"The second daughter is still sleeping, be quiet." I pointed to the second daughter in my sleep and reminded Ying. In order to decorate the room for the New Year, the second daughter wrung the window flowers for a night last night, and not long after she fell asleep, her red face crawled on the pillow, and there was a thin snoring sound.
"Oh, forget about her, tap." Ying helped me tiptoe into my clothes, and whispered in a low voice: "Poor, I stayed up all night, and today I told her to sleep well, and I have to keep vigil at night." ”
"What are you going to do in a while? The lady took a good look at me today, remind me more. I pointed to my head and reminded her that I wasn't a normal person yet. I don't know anything about how big families celebrate the New Year, so don't make jokes. How can we say that we are also celebrities now, and it will have a bad impact when it spreads.
"Well," Ying nodded knowingly, and took a fur collar to wrap around me, "I will first order my subordinates to boil more hot water, and the husband will bathe first, and then go to the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors and add more offerings." This year, our family is doing well, and the concubine has ordered more preparations. Hey, where did you kick your shoes when you climbed up last day? Ying covered her jacket and climbed the edge of the kang to look for my shoes.
"A little bit of movement," I saw her tossing vigorously, and the sound was a little loud, "You go to the bed, I'll find it myself, it's not cost-effective to catch a cold in the New Year." ”
"Don't look for it," Ying opened a camphor wood box on the side of the kang and touched a pair of new shoes to come out, "Go down and put this new pair on it, the second daughter Layue gave it to you, and the girl's craftsmanship is still eye-catching." ”
"There is no shortage of money to spend, don't do this at home in the future. I'm worried about either of you two if you're tired, and you won't allow it in the future. "Touching the thin needlework on the new shoes, there is no feeling of excitement, and I feel uncomfortable in my heart. It turned out that I had seen other people take the soles of their shoes, and they brought thimbles and made their hands full of needle holes, and the second daughter was only a little older, so she had to do this rough work, so how could I, a man, bear to wear it. "Don't allow it in the future, let me see which of you two takes the soles of your shoes, I'll really hit it."
Hearing what I said, Ying looked at it intently for a while, "It's wordy, get dressed and go down quickly, don't worry about women's affairs." It's still busy out there. ”
"Well, go down, you can wear it quickly, you're not in front of you, I don't know what to do, I'm panicking." put on the new shoes that the second daughter took care of herself, and was ruthless before standing on the ground. Suddenly thinking that there was an auspicious word at the end of the year, Chong Ying said softly: "Lady, come here, I have something to say to you." ”
Ying saw that my expression was different from before, and moved to the edge of the kang with a puzzled expression, "What do you want to say?" ”
I hugged Ying over, held her into my arms, and gently kissed her surprised little face, "Lady, I've been working hard at home for a year, and it's been hard." "I wanted to say something auspicious, but when I saw her pointed little face, I couldn't help but dot on her, and even changed my words." Lady, Happy New Year. Seeing that Yingxiao's eyes were watery, he hurriedly added.
Ying wiped the corners of her eyes indiscriminately, "Really." The New Year's Day makes people cry. After saying that, his face was buried in my chest, and his shoulders twitched uncontrollably, and it took a while before he raised his head, took out a handkerchief and kept wiping it on my shirt, "It's all you!" If your clothes are dirty, change them! ”
The auspicious words are not good, failure! Gotta adjust the atmosphere, it's lifeless. "Did the lady eat sugar gourd before going to bed last night?"
"Yes." Ying didn't know why, and nodded.
"Didn't rinse your mouth after eating?"
"No, I was so sleepy, I went to sleep."
"I say, a smell in your mouth, you smell it yourself." While Ying was holding her nose and smelling her breath, I turned around and headed for the door.
When I opened the door, Ying realized that I was teasing her, and threw the handkerchief in her hand at me.
The servants of the family had been busy early, and as soon as they left the back house, they saw the money steward wearing a thick sheepskin coat coming over with two rolls of paper, his nose and fat face were red from the cold, and it seemed that he had been waiting outside the door for a while.
"Little Hou Ye, good year! In addition to the old cloth and the new, the old man brought back the door gods in our house early in the morning, I'm afraid of disturbing you, so I'll wait for a while. "When Steward Qian saw me coming out, he hurriedly gave me an early greeting.
"Well, Uncle Qian has a good New Year!" I also politely replied with a salute and congratulated me twice: "I also wish Uncle Qian all the best and all his wishes come true." ”
Maybe my New Year's greetings were too advanced and too straightforward, and the old housekeeper was moved by the chaos when he listened to it, and he made a gesture, "Xie Xiaohou Ji Yan, Xie Xiao Hou Ye!" Listening to your words, the old man's heart is warm, old man..."
It's over, "Don't be warm, hurry up and pick up the door." I'll see how it works. "Yes, just these two congratulatory words, the effect is very good, and I will use it all when I see my acquaintances in the first month. Look at the door god first, I like these folk customs, interesting.
The housekeeper first rushed to the old door god who had worked hard for a year and made two strokes, and then took a small wooden shovel to carefully invite the original door god down, the wind and the sun were blowing, the paper was brittle, and if you accidentally got it, it would fall apart.
I pointed to the black-faced door god and blurted out: "Wei Chi Jingde!" ”
"Huh?" The old housekeeper didn't understand, so he quickly turned around and asked, "What does the little marquis command?" What's the well? ”
Oolong! Wei Chi Jingde and Qin Shubao have only passed away not long ago, and they have not been promoted to door gods so quickly, and now they should ask....ask: "Who is this?" I asked, pointing to the one that the butler had just put up.
"O god, great immortal! , exorcise evil spirits and catch ghosts, bless the house from being invaded by demons, and be safe and healthy for all eternity. Saying that, you bowed to the door, spread out another painting in his hand, and introduced: "This is Yu Lei, the younger brother of the gods, both brothers are immortals, the old man hurriedly invited the two of them to talk." ”
Shen Di, Yu Lei? I don't have any impressions, I don't know it. They all bared their teeth, not as kind as Grandpa Qin Yu. When I think of the door god, I think of Qin Yu on the right, who is much colder than Chang'an, and I don't know if I have received the fur and fur that I entrusted someone to carry last month. God bless, it's good not to make any changes in the spring of Tubo, and it is my biggest wish this year to let Qin Yu come back with all his beards and tails. Thinking of this, I also learned from the appearance of the money housekeeper, respectfully bowed to the door god, and made a wish with all my attention
