Chapter 86: Chinese New Year's Eve (2)

Previous Chapter

Before Feng Yin could stretch out his hand, Wen Shuo snatched the fire fold and said, "She won't, you let her come and order the yard by herself, I have to teach her." As he spoke, he pointed to the direction of the house with his head, and said to Li Ji, "Brother Li, go and call your mother-in-law out. ”

Li Ji then remembered that there was a mother-in-law living in this courtyard, and he really had to call them over, so he nodded and ran towards the house quickly.

As soon as Li Ji left, Wen Shuo glanced at the fairy feather flute on Feng Yin's head, he snorted, and said, "You and your father-in-law went to the night market, and you didn't even call me along, it's too boring!"

Feng Yin looked at him, then lowered his head, "You know everything?"

Wen Shuo naturally knew what the word "all" meant, and he didn't hesitate, and immediately nodded, "Well, my father-in-law has already told me." ”

Feng Yin went to look at him again, with a hint of complaint in his eyes, and muttered: "I thought you had a good way, but this is the case after a long time." Saying that, the complaint in her eyes deepened a little, and continued, "No matter how much it is a strategy, this is also a big deal, before you tell your uncle, why should you talk to me first!"

Wen Shuo laughed evilly, and leaned closer and said, "Oh, our eldest lady is scared!"

Feng Yin glared at him, and still felt palpitations when he thought about it, "You still have the face to say, as soon as Uncle said it, it frightened me, but fortunately, I reacted quickly, and I suddenly thought that it was your plan." ”

Wen Shuo snorted nonchalantly and said, "I knew you were timid, so I didn't tell you." Do you think, with your guts, don't you dare to agree to do it when I say it?"

Feng Yin bit her lip, still a little aggrieved, "That's what I said......"

Wen Shuo didn't wait for her to finish, and said: "Besides, how shrewd the father-in-law is, if the two of us collude, wait until he discusses it with you, and you can know that there is a problem by looking at your reaction. After Wen Shuo finished speaking, he looked at Feng Yin again and asked, "Did you say that?"

Feng Yin was blocked by him and had nothing to say, so he had to reluctantly nod.

Wen Shuo reached out and touched her head, and said with a smile: "That's right, you just listen to me, I will definitely be able to help you move out." As soon as you move out, everything else is fine. ”

"Then ......" Feng Yin also wanted to ask what the uncle had told him specifically, and even more wanted to ask him about his future arrangements, but the door not far behind him opened at this time, and Li Ji followed behind his mother-in-law and walked towards them.

Wen Shuo shook his head slightly, and Feng Yin had to close his mouth.

Seeing her mother-in-law coming over, Wen Shuo called out very regularly, "Hello mother-in-law," and her mother-in-law had already learned from Li Ji that they came over to set off firecrackers because of the second master's meaning, so she didn't ask anymore, just nodded and stood aside.

Li Ji pulled the firecracker over, handed the end of the lead to Feng Yin's hand, and said, "Miss, have you learned?"

Feng Yin was stunned, looked at Wen Shuo, and then nodded.

Wen Shuo brushed the fire fold in his hand, handed it to Feng Yin, and instructed: "Take your hand back as soon as the lead is burned, cover your ears and run back, remember?"

Feng Yin looked at the long string of firecrackers, and let out a sigh of some weakness before nodding and taking the fire fold.

She was actually a little scared, so she took a deep breath before carefully approaching the flame in her hand to the lead. The lead was a little, and a string of small flames hissed outward, burning upwards quickly, and Feng Yin immediately withdrew his hand, and was pulled back by Wen Shuo three steps back.

Li Ji also reacted quickly, threw the string of firecrackers as soon as the lead was reached, and quickly turned around and retreated to the side.

"Papapa, Papapa......" The red firecrackers swirled and exploded on the ground one by one, the sound was deafening, and the red debris floated outward and scattered, falling on the threshold and snow, and after a while, a large piece of it accumulated, and the dense red was very beautiful.

Feng Yin was a little afraid of the sound, but she was very excited by the novelty, she covered her ears in vain, craned her neck and laughed vigorously at the crackling firecrackers.

Wen Shuo stood beside her, turned his head and blew out the fire fold in her hand, and pulled it into his hand, frowning and shaking his head when he saw that she had never seen the world.

The sound of firecrackers lasted for a while, and many girls and family members heard the movement and couldn't help but turn their eyes. Some of the girls who passed by even stopped not far from the door, looking at this place in amazement, and discussing with each other.

Li Ji stood at the door generously, looking up at them one by one, looking cold. The heart said, what if our eldest lady doesn't like the general and the lady, and the second master is in pain! The young lady's waist will be straight in the future, and there will be nothing less than what should be, I see who of you dares to be presumptuous on weekdays!

In fact, if you really want to talk about status, Feng Yin can't be liked by the general and his wife, his mother-in-law has long left his wife's side, and Young Master Wen Shuo is not born to the second master, so in the eyes of the people, it is really Li Ji, the housekeeper in the second master's courtyard, who is the most offended, so the girls and family members who pass by don't dare to be too presumptuous, and they all salute this side before passing.

After this string of firecrackers was released, most of the evil anger in Li Ji's heart finally came out, but he felt that it was not enough, so he raised his head again and shouted to the sky, "The firecrackers are burned out, the mountains, evil ghosts, and the night are all eliminated, and I wish the eldest lady a smooth and prosperous year!" After shouting, he turned around and respectfully saluted to the wind.

When he went down, the people who could see the scene near the small courtyard were all in trouble. It is the rule to give the master a salute after this "Chinese New Year's Eve", and it is reasonable to say that these subordinates should give this salute to Miss Fengyin. But they don't regard Fengyin as the eldest lady in their hearts, and Fengyin has never had a New Year's Eve in the courtyard before, so everyone has been mixing up this gift.

But today is different, Steward Li Ji personally came to celebrate the New Year's Eve for the young lady, and took the lead in saluting the words, needless to say, it must be the second master's idea, they are watching from the sidelines, if they don't follow Steward Li to carry out this ceremony, it seems that they can't say it, and maybe they will offend the second master. But if you really want to talk about it carefully, firstly, they are not the subordinates in the courtyard of Fengyin, and they could have avoided it, but they ran over by themselves, which is a trouble they found in vain; second, many of them are indeed disrespectful to Fengyin, so they are not willing to grovel to her at all, so they are really unwilling to bow to her suddenly in vain.

So, at this moment, the people were stunned in place, and no one took the lead in saluting.

Seeing that the two sides were at a stalemate, the scene was a little embarrassing for a while. But Li Ji held his breath in his heart, if they didn't salute, they would never get up.

Feng Yin was a little embarrassed and wanted to help Li Ji up and end the game immediately, but Wen Shuo grabbed her arm and resolutely didn't let her move a step.

Feng Yin felt that the scene in front of him was really not good, and his face couldn't help but darken, sighed lightly, and lowered his head.

At this time, the mother-in-law, who had been standing silently aside, suddenly walked out, she slowly stepped out of the courtyard door, walked to the open space in the middle of the door, flicked her sleeves, slowly but respectfully bent down and saluted, and repeated Li Ji's words in her old but firm unique voice, saying: "The firecrackers are burned out, the mountain, the evil ghost, the night, all the elimination, I wish the eldest lady a smooth and prosperous year!"

When she saluted, some of the people were shaken. Moreover, the mother-in-law was brought over by the lady from her mother's house, and she was the lady's nurse, and she was extremely close to the lady, so naturally it was from the lady's side.

They can't be sure or guess, so some people are shaken, afraid that if one does not do well, they will offend both the second master and the lady.

Under this wavering, some people can't hold their breath. A little girl put down the flower pot in her hand, bowed tremblingly, and whispered: "I wish the eldest lady a smooth and prosperous year...... Ruyi!"

Then, she stretched out her hand and pulled, and the two little sisters beside her also put down the flower pot in their hands, saluted with her, and said in unison, "I wish the eldest lady a smooth and prosperous year!"

It's like a dam collapses and tears a hole, and the rest won't last long. So, one after another, those who were still waiting and watching couldn't hold it anymore, and they bent down and saluted, and said their congratulations, "I wish the eldest lady a smooth and prosperous year!"

Feng Yin looked out, obviously relieved, but for some reason the corners of her eyes turned red, she lowered her head for a while before hiding the water light again, and when she raised her head, she wanted to get them all up, but Wen Shuo pulled her back, and quietly glanced at her.

Wen Shuo took a step forward and coughed, and Li Ji looked up.

Wen Shuo looked at him, and pointed at the people outside with his chin, Li Ji immediately understood, he smiled at Wen Shuo, and raised his head and shouted again: "The firecrackers are burned out, the mountains, evil ghosts, and nights, all of them, I wish the eldest lady a smooth and prosperous year!"

This time, after he finished shouting, the subordinates finally shouted out the sentence in unison, "I wish the eldest lady a smooth and prosperous year ahead!"

Wen Shuo then let go of the hand that was holding Feng Yin's arm, and reached out to help him up immediately.

Feng Yin let out a long breath, feeling so comfortable in his chest for the first time in four years.

She walked out of the courtyard gate, walked to her mother-in-law, bent down and helped her up, only to look down at everyone and speak, "Get up." ”

One by one, they stood up, and looked at the dead man by the door, and then turned and fled in twos and threes.

Feng Yin didn't want to speak, so she helped her mother-in-law and walked into the yard.

Wen Shuo hugged the bamboo basket and pulled Li Ji to follow behind them, with a cheerful face, "Okay, next, let's paste the Spring Festival couplets well." ”
