Ping'er put down the wine glass, brought a few dishes to Jia Cong, and asked, "Third master, tomorrow is the New Year, how do we arrange it in the house?" ”

Jia Cong really doesn't know about this matter, I don't know how this ancient person spent the New Year, and he estimates that he will go back to Rongguo Mansion for the New Year, so let Ping'er be the master here.

"Sister Ping'er, I don't know much about these things, you can make your own decisions about this matter, you look at the arrangement, even if I don't spend the New Year here, so many people in the house also need to live, let everyone have a lively New Year, we don't lack this thing."

Ping'er nodded and said: "Third master, when I followed the second grandmother to take care of the housekeeper in the past, I knew that the main activity of Xiao Nian on this day was to sacrifice to the god of the stove, send the king of the stove to heaven to say good things, and then clean up the house." ”

Listening to Ping'er say this, I remembered in a trance that when I was a child, I followed my father to worship the Lord of the Stove, eat sugar melons, and clean the house.

According to my father, the most important custom of Xiao Nian is to sacrifice to the god of the stove, and folklore has it that every year on the twenty-third day of the lunar month, the prince of the stove will go to heaven to report the good and evil of the family to the Jade Emperor, so that the Jade Emperor will reward and punish.

When sacrificing to the stove, the sugar melon sticky should be melted with fire and applied to the mouth of the king of the stove. In this way, he can't speak ill of the Jade Emperor. ’

Exactly: a bowl of clear soup poems, the stove is in the sky today; If the Jade Emperor asks about human affairs, articles in troubled times are worthless.

It seems that the customs of this young year are not much different from what she has experienced before, since Ping'er knows, let her watch and prepare.

"Sister Ping'er, then follow the previous arrangement, and when I come back from there, we will worship here again."

Ping'er nodded and said, "Knowing the third master, I will first take someone to clean the house, prepare the things to worship, and wait for the third master to come back." ”

Jia Cong smiled: "Sister Ping'er, I'm most relieved." ”

glanced sideways at Xiaohong, and said: "Xiaohong, if you miss your parents, go home and celebrate the New Year with them, give you a day off, anyway, it's not far away, if you want to spend it here, you can decide." ”

Xiaohong followed her to Zhuangzi for more than 20 days, and she hadn't seen her father and mother for so long, so she probably felt a little homesick, and she was very happy when she heard this.

"Thank you, third master, I'll go home and take a look, if my father and mother are at home, I'll stay, if they don't have time, I'll come back."

This master celebrates the New Year, and the minions have to be busy, running before and after serving the master, and when the master is served, they can have time.

Especially those maids and maids, they have to serve the master to eat, and after the master has dinner, they can help clean up before they can have time to eat.

The six of them happily had a reunion dinner, and now this group of little girls are dependent on themselves to survive, and they really regard this place as their home.

After dinner, Jia Cong took a little rest and went to Rongguo Mansion East Road Courtyard.

I went to my small courtyard to take a look, and it was still tidy, and it seemed that someone came to clean it on time.

When he came to Jia Yu's yard, he met Mrs. Xing, and Jia Cong hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "The child asks Mrs. for peace." ”

When Mrs. Xing saw that it was Jia Cong, she couldn't help but be stunned, didn't she say that this kid went to live in Zhuangzi? When did this come back?

"Brother Cong, didn't you go to Zhuangzi to practice martial arts? How's it going over there? When did you come back? ”

Jia Cong arched his hand and said: "Back to Mrs., I have a good life in Zhuangzi, the second brother Lian came to me a few days ago, saying that the master asked me to come back before the new year, and I only arrived home this evening." ”

Mrs. Xing still admires this nominal son very much, and even did what she didn't do by chance, allowing herself to get a lot of benefits out of thin air.

What makes her even more envious is that she has a huge family property at a young age, and she is richer than herself, if it weren't for seeing Mrs. Wang's fate, she couldn't help but want to reach out.

"Brother Cong'er, you are busy cultivating outside every day, and you don't have time to take care of your huge family business, if you need it, I can send a few people over to help you."

Jia Cong was slightly stunned when he heard this, what does this mean? Is it a temptation? It is said that with the previous Mrs. Wang, there should be no other thoughts, is there really such a stupid person? It doesn't look like it.

"Thank you Mrs. for your concern, the child has already begged Sister-in-law Feng, and asked Sister Ping'er to come over and help me take care of the family business, there are few people over there, and there is not much to do, it is enough to have Sister Ping'er."

Mrs. Xing was a little disappointed when she heard this, she was just trying to test it, and said lightly: "That's good, I'm relieved that Ping'er is here, since the master is looking for you, then you should hurry up, he is still drinking in the lobby." ”

"Yes, ma'am, the boy is gone."

Jia Cong came to the lobby, Jia Yu was really still drinking with the little wives, this little life is really comfortable.

Jia Cong stepped forward and saluted: "The child greets the master, the master has been looking good recently." ”

Jia Yu glanced at Jia Cong, pointed to the side, and said, "Sit down, when did you come back?" ”

The concubine next to her hurriedly moved her position and asked Jia Cong to sit down, "Third master, please sit down." ”

Jia Cong nodded, sat down directly next to him, and then said to Jia Yu: "The child only came back this evening, and he came over after dinner." ”

"Well, I called you back because of some sacrificial activities during the New Year, as a descendant of the Jia family, you must attend. Another is that Zhang Moyan of Wudang has already replied and promised to teach you kung fu, and he will wait until the end of the New Year before he can come to the capital. ”

These are all expected by Jia Cong, tomorrow's Xiaonian sacrifice, just follow Second Brother Lian.

Wudang Zhang Moyan's news made Jia Cong a little happy.

Although he is practicing the same now, it is still good to be able to study it systematically, and the Wudang School practices internal kung fu and pays more attention to health preservation, while what Lao Guogong left behind is obviously external kung fu.

"I know, sir, I'll come over early tomorrow."

"Also, we have to pay more attention to the affairs of Jia's Mining during this time at home, and your second brother has also told you something, right?"

"The second brother told me, and I also analyzed it with him, mainly because the time for our opening was too hasty, there was no time for publicity, and every emerging thing needed to be recognized by people.

This year, we will take it as publicity, and next year I believe that the business will get better and better, and our honeycomb coal can be operated all year round, and it can also be used in summer, and it is more convenient and affordable. ”

Jia Yu thought for a moment, nodded and said: "What you said has some truth, you can discuss this matter with your second brother again, and strive to open up sales as soon as possible, otherwise it will be uncomfortable to see such a big stall but not making money." ”

Jia Yu didn't see a profit, he was a little out of breath, it's only been a few days, it's only been about twenty days, this is too uncomposing, and it's really tight on money.

"Knowing the master, the child will try his best to help the second brother increase sales, and strive to make you profitable in the fastest time."

Jia Yu nodded with satisfaction, "Do you want to have a drink with me?" ”

Since Lao Tzu has brought it up, let's drink some.

Let people bring wine glasses, Jia Yu's concubine came up to pour wine, and while the two of them were talking, you drank a cup of me one by one, but it also had a sense of father's kindness and filial piety, and its happiness.
