Ou Suying has developed her career conscientiously, and finally bought her own house in Chang'an, which has the highest housing price in the country's first-tier cities. The house is not big, the courtyard is connected to a smaller courtyard, but it is enough for Ou Suying.

In the Han Dynasty, the west was respected, and naturally the room on the west side was used as the master bedroom, and the south side was the kitchen, which freed up a cloakroom, and the other houses were vacant to put some miscellaneous items and the like, but it was also very spacious.

Buying all kinds of furniture and decorative curtains, and working hard for a week, Ou Suying moved in.

Home is a haven for one's body and soul, and he doesn't want his private space to be disturbed, so Ou Suying does not recruit servants to serve him. I have hands and feet, what do I need a maid to do? Otherwise, you need to go out to take a carriage, but the carriage and horse shop is nearby, so I walked over and rented a car and rented a 'driver', which was very convenient.

But there were no servants to disturb them, but there were people who came every night without shame.

Prince Liu Ju does not live in his Changding Hall every night, and always has to go around half of the city to Yongmen European Mansion. used to live in the downtown Xianle Fang, and the prince Liu Ju still avoided it, but now he has his own house, and the prince Liu Ju is really unscrupulous.

"What's yours is mine, Suying, why are you so clear with me?"

"Hehe, is yours also mine?"

"Of course"

"Then I'm also the prince?" Ou Suying replied.

Prince Liu Ju couldn't cry or laugh, "You are the crown princess"

"Don't be close, I'm still young, I don't want to marry so early, let alone marry you? How can I be comfortable now when I enter the palace. ”

Ou Suying was sure that she loved Liu Ju very much, and she also believed that Liu Ju loved her very much. However, I am still not ready to get married, and I mind that the crown prince Liu Ju married Liangdi in the palace, and asked me and Liangdi to look up and see each other, kill me. Although her boyfriend is a prince and has a big family, she should still be financially independent, and Ou Suying firmly believes this. If you meet a bad mother-in-law, or the prince has a change of heart, etc., and you break up with Liu Ju, you can't live that kind of miserable life in the cold palace. I want to rely on my own ability, advance is respected, retirement is also expensive, marry you will be a wife, if you can, divorce the little wives and let them find their true love, if you don't marry, I am also a career woman with fame and fortune, and I don't rely on men to support her.

Ou Suying's cooking skills are average, occasionally on the lower side, but the most worrying thing is to do laundry.

It doesn't matter if you don't have a washing machine and laundry detergent, Ou Suying grew up in an orphanage and later studied alone, so she washed clothes by hand. But after the dirty clothes were piled up in a wooden basin, cold water was taken from the well, and a few times with the wooden chase, a speechless thing happened.

"The color fade is so bad!" Fortunately, I didn't put the white clothes with these pieces. Is it because the quality of the clothes I bought is too poor? I didn't spend a lot of money, and I really didn't save money for myself and Liu Ju when I bought clothes.

Ou Suying looked at the turbid water, sighed deeply, took out the wet clothes and put them on a stick to dry, and didn't even bother to wring out the water on the clothes, anyway, the sun is good, or it won't be long before it will be dried.

Ou Suying complained to Bian Linglan about the heavy discoloration of her clothes, and asked Bian Suzuran to accompany her to buy some good clothes, and was laughed at by Bian Suzulan for several minutes, "Isn't it normal for clothes to fade when they are wet?" Who told you to change your wash so diligently? ”

"Huh? Normal? Why didn't I notice it fade before? ”

"Have you done your laundry before? If you like the clothes, we will buy a lot of them for you to change, you won't not find them, right? Bian Linglan looked at Ou Suying's expression, and really didn't realize that her clothes were different. I can't help but envy Ou Suying's extravagant past life.

Ou Suying was even more impacted.

I didn't need to do it myself before, so I didn't pay attention to this. Thinking about it now, it seems that he is the most diligent in changing his clothes, changing every day, the friends of the Dao family, Liu Hong, the king of Qi, and those palace people, and even the prince Liu Ju, Chuan Gu, etc., who have been traveling with him, do not often change their clothes. Bian Linglan's clothes are rarely changed, and they are rarely repeated, and she doesn't wear a piece of clothing once or twice. It turned out to be a fade, and it didn't look good after washing it after a few washes.

Things like incense sachets that are loved by the people of Chang'an are not just to cover the smell of sweat without changing clothes, right?

Fortunately, I hugged the thigh of the crown prince Liu Ju, otherwise the money for buying clothes alone would have spent my salary poorly.

The Han people respect black, and only those with noble status wear black clothes. The dye of the black cloth, said to be some kind of grass juice, belongs to the stain that cannot be washed off, but it has become a dye that people like at the time that does not fade, remember that the curtain of the Changding Palace likes black cloth, and the large living room of Princess Dangli's house is also decorated with black cloth.

Compared with the colors of the cloth that is too saturated, the black cloth is indeed much more stable and solemn.

At dusk, when Ou Suying returned to Ou's house after work, he found that the clothes that had fallen off were still looking good after drying. The color saturation is not so high, the color is not too bright, similar to 'high-grade gray', and there is more of a smoky feeling, but it is more in line with your own aesthetics.

When sharing this discovery with Liu Ju in the evening, he was heard by Kawatani, and Izuya laughed wildly for a long time, as if he had heard a big joke. "Nanxing, can you deduct Kawasani's wages?"

"Yes"

"Alas, it can't be like this, Nanxing, Suying, won't your conscience hurt if you do this?"

"The money is so heavy, it's not convenient for you to hold it." Ou Suying teased, and then asked Liu Ju, "Why don't you have banknotes?" I mean, light money, like this fabric, lighter, you look at the weight of those copper plates, silver and gold, it's really inconvenient to hold. ”

Liu thought for a while, "There have been people who use deerskin coins, although they are light, but they are worn badly, and the anti-counterfeiting is not good, and it is not as convenient as the current three coins." The Emperor has asked the doctors of the Juxian Pavilion to find a way to deal with this problem, but there is no solution for the time being. Suying, what do you suggest? ”

"All I can say is what I have in my hometown, and as for how to make it happen, you know, I'm a scumbag-"

This Han's clothing dye technology and coin anti-counterfeiting are not very good, but the household registration management is already very strict. The matter of registering Ou Suying is thanks to the fact that the backer is the prince, and it is troublesome to replace others. Look at the description on the family registration paper"······ Tiny inch Qianfa ······" Ou Suying still twitched the corners of her mouth, although there is no photographic technology, but the text description is too realistic, and it has to leave palm prints, five fingertips and palm prints with clear lines in the palm, but it is not the kind of TV series that casually suppresses the red whirring. This identity anti-counterfeiting is very advanced. However, if it is not a wanted criminal or something, the household registration officer will not be idle and go door-to-door to check the household registration.

When reporting for his career, Ou Suying wanted to write 'dancer' in his book, but Liu Ju insisted on not allowing it, and finally wrote a 'business'.

First snow.

Gu Shanqi hurriedly went to a house outside Yongmen with a cloth bag in his arms.

"Suying, Suying, come on."

"Gu Shanqi, you're here!"

"Give."

"What's that?" Ou Suying opened it and saw that it was a long cloak of white velvet.

"This is the best fur cloak in my Gushan shop, I specially brought it to you, but I was reluctant to sell it."

"Thank you so much, this winter in Chang'an is really cold, and I don't know if I live too close to the Wei River, I always feel that the cold wind blows on my yard." Ou Suying said, and put the cloak on. A month ago, Ou Suying bought a house here and moved out of Princess Dangli's mansion.

Kawatani also stretched his hands, shrunk his shoulders, and when he heard the words of the two, he interjected, "Suying, don't listen to his nonsense, there is not a word of truth in the merchant's mouth." ”

"Shut up, the most important thing for our business family is faithfulness."

"When you gave the fur cloak to Nanxing, did you say that it was the best in your shop? You sent a collar sleeve to Bailiqing, did you say that it was the best? You sent wool boots to Xuanshen, did you say that it was the best? When you gave me the sheepskin shoulder, did you say it was the best? Everything in your house is the best, isn't it? Kawatani revealed.

Gu Shanqi narrowed his eyes coldly, "You give me back that wool shoulder, take it off now, I can take it back and sell it at a discount!" ”

"How can I ask for it?"

The two chased into the house. Ou Suying watched the two of them play, and also entered the house with a smile.

Several people gathered around the charcoal fire, boiled hot wine, and drank together to warm up.

In the afternoon, the wind and snow were a little lighter.

"Are you going back?" Ou Suying asked.

"The prince hasn't come yet, what are we going to do when we go back?" Kawatani replied.

"If there is snow today, will he still come?"

Gu Shanqi looked at the snow scene outside, "There is a knife, he wants to run towards this." When the snow stops, he'll be almost here. ”

A few people were chatting and heard the sound of cars and horses outside. The crown prince Liu arrived, and the snow just stopped.

Bai Liqing and Xuan Shen helped Liu Ju down.

A few people stepped on the snow, one deep and one shallow.

"Shall we stay in the house today?" This is the first snow of the year, and Ou Suying wants to go out to enjoy the snow, but it is too cold.

Liu Ju drank a glass of mulled wine, "Let's go fishing in the Wei River." ”

"In the winter, it's so cold, are there any fish? The river is frozen. ”

"It's only when it's icy that it's good to fish!" Kawatani said beamingly.

When a few people came to the river, it was indeed frozen, but the ice was not very thick, and people could not step on it.

Kawatani snorted and stretched out his feet to explore the ice, "If only it were thicker." ”

Liu explained to Ou Suying that after the heavy snowfall, a kind of cold fish came out of the river, and it could be caught by digging a hole in the ice, casting a net or fishing. The cold fish is white and flat, and the meat is firmer and chewier than other fish.

This time, the ice was not thick enough to go fishing in the middle of the river, so a few people found a sheltered place by the river to fish.

Ou Suying and Liu Ju leaned together, and the other people put away their fishing gear, sprinkled fish food, and left with a good look, hiding in a place that was not in the way of the eyes to keep warm. After a while, the vertical line moved slightly, and Liu Zhen caught a cold fish. Liu Ju took the cold fish off the hook and handed it to Ou Suying. Ou Suying held the fish and put it in the bamboo cage behind him.

Turning to look at Liu Ju, who was concentrating on hanging the bait, Ou Suying really felt that the person in front of him was omnipotent.

"Thousands of mountains and birds fly away, and thousands of people disappear.

Lonely boat, fishing alone in the cold river and snow. ”

Such a poem suddenly popped into Ou Suying's mind. Liu Ji looked back at Ou Suying when he heard this, and his eyes flashed with surprise.

"I don't remember whose poem it was!" Ou Suying confessed. Liu understood it and also recited a poem.

"The snow stops the cold fish, and the shadow moves the lover.

Meet with the white head, and there is no doubt about love. ”

Ou Suying took Liu Ju's hand, "Will there be a Spring Festival here?" ”

"Yes, when spring begins, it is the Spring Festival."

Ou Suying wanted to go to meet his parents with Liu Ju during the Spring Festival, when everyone was lively. According to Chinese custom, it is a traditional and romantic event for young men to bring their girlfriends home to meet their parents during the Spring Festival. The two have been dating for nearly half a year, and their love is as deep as this. Whether you want to marry him or not, you want his parents to know and approve of you.

"How do you celebrate the Chinese New Year?" Ou Suying asked.

"Celebrating? No. Whenever the ice and snow melt and the vegetation regreens, the Chinese people are more likely to get sick, weak and weak, and even cough and salivate. It is a time when people think that the Spring Festival is bad. During the Spring Festival, we make some firecrackers, beat the bottom of the pot, knock on the pot and other rituals to drive away the plague gods. ”

Ou Suying understood, what kind of plague god is evil? Everyone had the flu in the spring and had a cold.

Why did the cold virus exist in the Han Dynasty and spread until 2031 and evolve?

Looking at Ou Suying's expression, Liu Ji guessed that the meaning of the Spring Festival was different for Ou Suying. "How do you want to celebrate? If others don't celebrate, I can celebrate with you. ”

"The plan of the day lies in the morning, and the plan of the year lies in the spring. In my hometown, spring is the same as morning, it is the beginning, it is a good time, it should be valued, and happy. We would get friends and family together to celebrate and set off fireworks. On the last night of the year, called Chinese New Year's Eve, people eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner and watch the Spring Festival Gala performance. Keeping midnight and not sleeping, we call it New Year's Eve. Then at sunrise, firecrackers are also set off to call the New Year. Isn't there a lot of things? South Star"

"Sounds interesting, how do you teach me how to do it? I also want to feel what you said about the Spring Festival. ”

"Uh-huh."

Just do what you say.

The two of them carried the results of the fishing battle and went to Xianle Fang, and called out to the people who were huddled in the house to keep warm.

Everyone cooks together, cooks delicious cold fish soup, makes flying goose dumplings, arranges a simple and joyful little program, eats, sings and drinks together, and dances around the fire until late at night. Liu Ju wrote the word 'Fu' on the red silk and hung it on the lintel of Xianle Fang.

The cold fish soup is very brilliant and is quite popular. Ou Suying pestered to ask Liu Ju the secret recipe.

Hanyu is deeply favored by Liu Ju, and it turns out that he has a unique approach. The condiments are common, but this fish is first grilled and half-cooked and boiled in the soup. The final product has the freshness of the fish soup, but also has a bit of burnt taste, and the fish meat is not weak. "How did you learn such a complicated approach?"

"He was self-taught."

"Self-taught?"

"Kawatani, I can't stop your mouth when I eat!"

"Tell me! Hey, Nanxing? Kawatani? Thymegreen? Ou Suying smelled the gossip and didn't want to let it go easily, but Liu Ju bit it to death and didn't say anything, and the others naturally wouldn't speak. After questioning for a while, Liu Ju changed the topic and led Ou Suying's target elsewhere, and laughed for a long time.

"Nanxing, I'm so sleepy, let's sleep."

"It's not midnight yet." Liu Ju refused, and rubbed Ou Suying's face to prevent her from sleeping. Ou Suying regretted that she said that she was going to keep vigil for the New Year's Eve.

With the shouting of the watchman, midnight finally arrived.

Ou Suying and Liu Zhicai lay down and fell asleep. It didn't take long for him to wake up with the sound of crackling outside the door. Ou Suying opened the door and saw Baili Qing and Gu Shan Chi burning bamboo tubes. The bamboos were burned with a popping sound.

Kawaya leaned against the pillar with sleepy eyes, saw Ou Suying, and asked, "Ringing, is it over?" I can't go back to sleep. ”

Xuan Shen stood aside holding the dried bamboo that had not yet been burned, and also stared at Ou Suying, waiting for her answer.

Ou Suying lit the fire, "Throw it all in and go back to sleep." The corners of his mouth couldn't hide a smile.

This year, so happy!

Breaking the old and welcoming the new, the new year, is also a good thing and a good thing.

Kwai Sui, who had stopped due to illness (chemotherapy to treat cancer), came back again, and the swan misunderstanding was resolved, and he saw a lot of familiar things, and he also made a new breakthrough in his career.
