Chapter Ninety-One: Chaotic Love
On the twenty-third day of the lunar month, the small year belonging to the Yun family of the official eunuch family has arrived, and on this day, the main sacrificial activity is to send the king of the stove to heaven.
This kind of thing must be done by Yun Chu, the head of the family, and the main thing to do is to put the offerings in front of the stove god in the kitchen, and invite people to enjoy them, and after enjoying them (in fact, people eat them), Yun Chu pasted the maltose on the mouth of the stove prince, hoping that he could bring honey to his mouth, and only said the good things of the Yun family, not to say, Yun Chu likes to kill people indiscriminately.
Therefore, Yun Chu felt that maltose was not safe, and used honey to paste the mouth of the stove god tightly.
There are actually a lot of gods in the Yun family, there are the god of the stove, the god of the door, the god of the well, the god of the toilet, and there is also a god of the middle slip that Yun Chu has not figured out until now.
It can be seen that it is not without origin that the ancients said at every turn that there are gods with their heads three feet high.
Yun Chu always felt that the god of the stove would steal food, the god of the door would take a nap, the god of the well would run out in the middle of the night to be scary, the god of the toilet would peep, and the god of the middle slip would see all the details of Dunlun between him and Yu Xiurong...... Because they don't have curtains in their house.
In Datang, even the god of the stove is divided into three, six, nine and so on, for example, the god of the stove of the Yunchu family will go to heaven to report on the twenty-three, and come back on the day of the thirtieth, and the god of the stove of the ordinary people's family must be ranked behind, and the twenty-fourth can go to the sky, and the thirty can come back, as for those who live on the ship, the god of the stove can only go to heaven at twenty-five and come back at thirty, which may have a lot to do with the degree of wealth.
After the twenty-third passed, Jinchangfang stopped trading, and the craftsmen no longer went out to work, except for the people who were responsible for environmental sanitation in Jinchangfang, they were basically completely idle.
Liu Yi's son got a lot of live pigs from Weinan, as well as chickens, ducks and geese, and killed more than 100 pigs in one go for everyone in the city to share.
Chickens, ducks and geese are basically distributed according to the household registration, so that everyone can have a fat year.
Liu Yi sent people to smash the ice on the lotus pond in Jinchangfang, found some people from other places who wanted money and didn't want to die, and jumped into the mud pond to dig lotus roots in the cold winter.
This year, he will dig lotus roots, and there will be no roots left, because next year, he plans to plant all the water lilies.
The lotus root, which has been sleeping in the muddy water for half a winter, tastes just right at this time, and is as crisp and sweet as an autumn pear.
Cui Shi asked Liu Yi to take home a few thousand catties, put them in the grinding disc and grind them into juice, and after constantly washing, filtering, and precipitating, he got hundreds of catties of lotus root powder.
This thing is paired with dried fruits from the Western Regions, which tastes sweet and silky, and is a good tonic in winter.
The Yun family's gift for the New Year this year is lotus root powder and quilt.
Yun Chu asked Naha to take a lot, and went to the Great Ci'en Temple to send it to Xuanzang, he felt that in a cold night when he was translating scriptures, Xuanzang could get such a bowl of warm and sweet lotus root powder, and he should be able to cherish this world a little more.
After Li Hong's child got a big portion of lotus root powder, he was moved to tears, because Yun Chu was the only good person who gave him a gift.
He was really poor this year, and he always thought that there were only 20 flower bears, but he never thought that those flower bears could be so edible.
He is a prince without a fief, and all the money on his body comes from the rewards of his father and mother, and he originally lived a very prosperous life.
Since Hua Xiong came, he no longer had any extra money in his hands, and even the money he gave to the nurses, palace people, and eunuchs for the New Year was borrowed from his mother.
That's right, it's borrowed, according to his mother's words, when he is crowned king next year, and he has a fief, he will have to pay back twice as much as he borrows.
He was also told that it was not that the royal family had no money, but that whenever the royal family made any decision, it had to consider the consequences.
Since he is a kind-hearted person who wants to raise the flower bear, then he must take on this responsibility, and he needs to use his own strength to raise and fatten the flower bear, and he can't die in vain.
Only in this way can he be consistent and not give up halfway when he needs to feed the people of the fiefdom in the future.
Fortunately, his panda Dafu will make money, especially from his father, which can be regarded as saving Li Hong's life.
The gift sent to Li Ji was accepted by Li Ji, and there was a return gift, but it was just some dried fruits, ordinary items, and the value was basically the same as the gift sent by Yun Chu.
Among a group of veterans, only Liang Jianfang's return gift was the same as in previous years, so when Yun Chu was preparing for the New Year, he personally went to Liang Jianfang's mansion to greet this old guy.
As for the others, forget it.
Yu Xiurong looked at the names on the list, sent one, and crossed out one, until she saw that the last one was Liu Renliang, and she felt very embarrassed.
Because, the gift of Liu Renliang's family was sent to Yun Chu in advance, and the gift was very simple, it was a jujube cake, a dry soup cake, that is, dried noodles, a woodblock painting depicting the gods of the gods, and a book of "Rites" that he had annotated himself.
Such a gift is not rich, because of the book, so the value of the gift is difficult to estimate.
"According to the gifts that our family gives to others, prepare one as usual, I think Lao Liu seems to like puff pastry buns very much, you might as well prepare more."
Prepare some tea leaves and send them with a set of pots and cans of tea, so that his lunch will be more hearty than usual. ”
Yu Xiurong muttered: "Liu County ordered a person to take two copies of the five-grade official's salary, how could he live such a hard life?" ”
Yun Chu said with a smile: "The gap between people is bigger than the gap between people and pigs.
Lao Liu, even if he nibbles on Hu Cake, in his opinion, is already a blessing, while other people, even if they choke on jade grains, they feel unpleasant.
I heard that his wife's appetite was not good, so I sent more lotus root powder, and in the future, our two families may come and go more frequently. ”
Yu Xiurong is a smart woman in ice and snow, and there are no signs of mental decline because she is pregnant, just a New Year's gift list, you can see a lot of things.
For example, in previous years, the Yun family's New Year's gifts to those veterans were far heavier than this year's, and the veterans' return gifts were even richer.
Only this year, the gift of the Yun family is a courtesy New Year's gift that is not salty or light, and similarly, the veterans' return gifts are even more casual.
From here, it can be seen that everyone's friendship has ended here.
Presumably next year's New Year, there will be no more old generals on the Yun family's New Year's gift list, just like there is no longer Li Yifu on last year's New Year's gift list.
Many times, human affection fades as they walk, and some people walk and can no longer find it.
There's nothing to regret about that.
Yun Chu received a letter from Di Renjie from Bingzhou.
As soon as the letter was opened, Yun Chu's face was filled with a warm smile.
Although Di Renjie's letters are full of crazy show-offs, the main content of showing off is to live up to his eight-year wait, and his wife Wang is completely worthy of his wait for another eight years...... Character naturally goes without saying, it's just ......
It's just that there is not a word in the back, and he doesn't know that part of his wife can fully surpass the god of desire in his heart.
It must be like this, and by the way, it left Yun Chu with a suspense.
After reading this letter, Yun Chu burned it.
It's not that he doesn't respect Di Renjie's letter, but this guy specially reminded him that he would burn it immediately after reading it.
It is estimated that after marrying the Wang family, this guy was full of ecstasy, there was nowhere to vent, and no one to tell, so he had to reveal it slightly in the letter to Yun Chu, and regretted it after writing it, feeling that the things in the boudoir of his husband and wife were not enough to communicate with outsiders.
In the mood of wanting to show off and keep it secret, I had to write a good letter with this disgusting look.
Yun Chu is very happy for Di Renjie, under blind marriage and dumb marriage, he can still get a favorite wife, I have to say that this person's luck is really good, even God takes care of him.
In the constant busyness, the five years of Yonghui are about to pass, and Datang is about to usher in the six years of Yonghui.
According to the history books, this period of time is called "the rule of Yonghui", which is a rare period of time when the world is peaceful, the country is rich and the people are strong.
Naha and the big fat women stuffed the bamboo into the fire and roasted it, and then there was a crackling sound of firecrackers in the fire.
Hearing the sound of firecrackers, Yun Chu couldn't help but look at a cabinet that he had locked.
In that cabinet was filled with a cabinet full of granular gunpowder made with the classic gunpowder recipe.
Really speaking, the things in it are real firecrackers, and they are the kind of big firecrackers that are super loud.
At present, this thing is still kept in the deep boudoir and no one knows it, once it is really time for her to come out of the cabinet, if no country is martyred for her, Yun Chu feels that this girl is a loss when she marries.
"Brother, brother, come quickly, you are the one missing."
Naha's voice rang out outside the study.
Yun Chu blew out the candles fixed on the iron shelf, locked the study door, and took Naha's hand to the back house to participate in the Yun family's annual Chinese New Year's Eve gambling competition.
When Yun Chu entered the door, Naha immediately couldn't wait to take off her shoes and sit down at the bottom of the warm table, and without waiting for Yun Chu to sit down, she took a long breath and blew down at a large row of copper coins on the table.
This girl may have practiced hard, five people, five copper coins per person, a total of twenty-five copper coins, and she blew eleven of them in one go.
Seeing Naha triumphantly put eleven copper coins into the money bag tied around his waist, he arrogantly said to Yu Xiurong: "It's your turn." ”
Yu Xiurong didn't dare to use too much strength, so he exhaled softly, blowing the copper coin like this, it was naturally impossible to blow the copper coin over.
Next it was Cui's turn, the old woman took a deep breath and blew it down violently, the movement was very loud, and the copper coins were blown up and down, but none of the copper coins were willing to turn over.
I didn't see how hard the old monkey was, and he blew over the remaining copper coins in one breath.
The old monkey also proudly loaded the copper coin, looked at Yun Chu and said, "Quickly release the money, release the money quickly, and watch the Buddha kill the Quartet today." ”
