Volume 1 The Walking Boy in the World Chapter 16 New Year's Greetings
Yu Yu happily returned to the house and saw the doll holding a chicken leg in one hand and a sausage in the other, eating with a greasy face.
"Doll, stop me!" As he spoke, Yu Yu slammed into the table and joined in.
After the storm passed, Yu Yu covered his stomach and was satisfied, the doll's big red cotton jacket had already been thrown aside, and he lay on the table with a round snow-white belly.
At this time, Yu Yu finally had time to check the embroidery bag sent by Miss Liang, and put the purple gold embroidered bag aside, Yu Yu was stunned by the white embroidery bag, the embroidered bag was not the size of a tea bowl, and the bag was embroidered with white clouds and cranes.
Opening the embroidery bag, Yu Yu was stunned.
"It's ......"
The doll was lying on the table, squinting at Yu Yu's actions, seeing Yu Yu take out two embroidered bags from his arms, he couldn't help but come to Yu Yu, first looked at the purple gold embroidered bag, and then looked at the white embroidered bag in Yu Yu's hand, sniffed it, and immediately smiled, squeezed his eyebrows at Yu Yu, and sneered again and again.
Yu Yu ignored the doll and poured the big money in the embroidered bag into his hand, no more, no less, a whole sixteen weird treasure coins were lying neatly in Yu Yu's hands, don't look at the treasure money is not big, but it is heavy, and the weight is heavy enough.
Yu Yu had never seen this kind of treasure money, so he couldn't help but be a little curious, and put it in front of him to take a closer look, and found that the treasure money was engraved with a flowing water pattern, which was very exquisite.
"What kind of money is this? It's beautiful, but I don't know if it's practical. Hide the treasure money and embroidered bag, Yu Yu secretly thought in his heart that after all, it was sent by Miss Liang, not to mention the practicality of the treasure money, just the identity of Miss Liang, thinking that these treasure money must be extraordinary.
New Year's Day
Heavy snow covers the mountains
Yu Yu came to the town early in the morning before dawn, and it was necessary to pay New Year's greetings as soon as possible!
I have visited several rich people's homes, of course, the main gate will not let him in, but I have seen the stewards of each family at the back door, said a little polite New Year's greetings, and handed over a box of snacks by the way, which is regarded as a New Year's greeting, go away, and sell firewood in the coming year.
The housekeepers are still good to speak, see that most of the Yu Yu are kind and pleasant, Yu Yu's firewood is famous in the town, the thickness of the firewood is uniform and burn-resistant, there is no shortage of catties and short two, and Yu Yu is also diligent, hands and feet are quick, sometimes the stewards have a small errand to run errands, command, Yu Yu will also readily agree, obey the words, do not say the quick to do things, the key is fast.
Yu Yu will also come to things, never forget to visit these stewards during the New Year's holidays, say some pleasing words, these stewards are slaves on weekdays, when they are people, they are used to being sent by people, but Yu Yu is praised to the sky and satisfies their vanity, so Yu Yu is deeply liked by these stewards.
After so many years in this market, Yu Yu has long understood this truth, and after worshipping the New Year, he was in a good mood, while thinking about how much firewood he could sell this year and how many more copper plates he could earn, and he came to the school unconsciously.
Yu Yu stopped, straightened his clothes, and knocked on the door knocker.
After a while, the door of the school was opened, and Mr. walked out of it, and Yu Yu bowed and saluted: "The student has seen Mr. ”
Mr. also put on a new dress today, dark green satin, his posture looked more upright, the heavy scholarly aura on his body was condensed, he glanced at Yu Yu with a smile, and said slowly: "Come with me." With that, he led Yu Yu to the study.
Yu Yu followed Mr. into the study, and as soon as he entered the room, a clear and elegant aroma penetrated into his nose, which shocked people and smelled very good.
Yu Yu also came to Mr.'s study for the first time, and he couldn't help but take a few more glances after being curious, the interior decoration of the house was simple and simple, with a table of eight immortals, a clerical case, and a red sandalwood bookcase.
But, not extraordinary!
There is a rockery on the table of the eight immortals, the rockery is not big, vivid, there is a jungle on the mountain, lush, there is a clear stream between the mountains, it flows slowly, there is a small waterhole at the foot of the mountain, the wonderful thing is that the flowing water is not stopped, the waterhole does not overflow; on the paperwork, the four treasures of the study room are arranged neatly, a ring ruler, two stone carved seals, the wonderful thing is that a bottle of delicate brass sandalwood stove is emitting white smoke, the white smoke condenses but does not disperse, gathers into a lotus leaf-shaped, fluttering and misty, like a white cloud in the sky, pleasing to the eye, the fragrance in the house is the white cloud of this group.
Bypassing the bookcase, more than a dozen strange-shaped little elves on the red sandalwood bookcase, without wings, but can fly in the air, shuttling back and forth in a book of classical inscriptions, as if cleaning and tidying, those elves saw Mr. come in and stopped their work, knelt down and saluted out of thin air.
Yu Yu has gained a lot of knowledge this time, and he is surprised, but fortunately, his mind is stable, so he will not be at a loss and panicked.
The gentleman saw Yu Yu's performance in his eyes and waved away the elves.
The two came to the table of the eight immortals and sat down, a few elves flew forward, I don't know where to find a delicate teapot, take a few emerald green leaves on the rockery and put them into the pot, and fill the waterhole with spring water, and soon there was a faint aroma in the pot.
Smelling this aroma, the placket on Yu Yu's chest squirmed, and the doll got out of it, and when he looked at it, his mouth pouted, and he jumped on the table, regardless of the hot tea in the pot, picking up the teapot was a burst of cow drink.
Yu Yu was very angry and just wanted to scold the doll, but Mr. signaled that it was okay.
Mr. was not angry, and those elves seemed to be accustomed to it, but the next scene to see Yu Yu was even more dumbfounded, only to see the doll drink tea, jumped off the table of eight immortals, climbed on the paperwork, there were already a few elves waiting there, the doll lay down on the desk with a big grin, and a few elves ran up to pinch their shoulders and beat their legs, as if they had known each other for a long time.
The gentleman looked at everything in front of him lightly, but Yu Yu was not calm.
"This ......," Yu Yu was speechless.
On the table of the Eight Immortals, several elves refilled the tea, waited until the aroma was fragrant, and poured the tea into the teacup.
"The doll is stubborn by nature, and if you live there, you can train him well. The gentleman spoke.
The doll suddenly squeaked at Mr., as if provocative, Yu Yu couldn't sit still anymore, and walked to the bookcase to reward a chestnut.
The gentleman smiled silently.
At noon, Yu Yu left the school.
When leaving, there were two more things in his hand, a delicate white jade plate, the jade plate was engraved with a landscape, despite this, Yu Yu still recognized that this jade card was the one that Miss Liang had brought before, but for some reason it came to Mr. Hand, and it was also engraved with a landscape;
As he was walking, suddenly there was a noise from the street in front of him, and a crowd of people gathered around him.
Yu Yu walked through the crowd and stepped forward to check, squeezed through the crowd and saw an old man and a young mother and daughter kneeling in front of the pharmacy, the old one was in his thirties, less than forty, and the child was eleven or twelve years old, and the two were crying.
The town is not big, Yu Yu's memory is good, and he recognized the mother and daughter at a glance as villagers in Jiawa Village, south of the town, and they have a good relationship with Yu Yu's family.
Yu Yu's family lives at the foot of Wuzhi Mountain, but it is very close to Jiawa Village, only two or three miles away, you can see at a glance, the village is not big, thirty or forty families, the mother and daughter are both surnamed Jia, and Yu Yu will shout Aunt Jia when he sees it on weekdays.
Aunt Jia's man is a slender man, the purest mountain man, with two arms, sometimes far away from the boat, can not go home once a year, so most of the family affairs are handled by Aunt Jia alone, because the man in his family is not at home all year round, so it is relatively late to have children.
When Yu Yuniang was still alive, Aunt Jia was idle at home, and occasionally went up to the mountain to collect medicine and earn a few copper plates to subsidize the family.
After a long time, I found that there was one more family at the foot of the mountain, and it was a foreigner, Aunt Jia was inevitably curious, and she would always come over to sit when she was okay on weekdays.
It's just that although Aunt Jia is a village woman in the mountains, she is quite kind-hearted, unlike other long-tongued village women who chew their tongues indiscriminately, because their own men are also away from home all year round, so Aunt Jia knows very well that it is not easy for a woman to run a family alone, and it is hard to run the housework alone, and the gossip between villages and towns is even more headache.
Although I can't see a man in this foreigner house for a long time, Aunt Jia didn't chew the root of her tongue behind her back, seeing that Yu Yuniang didn't go out of the door all day long, she looked sick, and sometimes occasionally helped Yu Yu's mother and son, in fact, when Yu Yuniang was alive, the mother and son didn't worry about their livelihood at all, and they had to accept it when they shirked it.
Later, Yu Yuniang died, Aunt Jia saw that Yu Yu was pitiful and would secretly help Yu Yu, no way, they are all poor, Aunt Jia's family is not rich, and Aunt Jia said it at home, it doesn't count, the men of the Jia family take care of the money very strictly, so Aunt Jia doesn't dare to do too much, of course, even so, she has helped Yu Yu a lot, and all these Yu Yu are kept in mind.
