MTL - Traveling Through Ancient Times To Be a Shopkeeper-Chapter 71

Lunar New Year's eve.

The new year is coming, the first year after coming to the Dajing Dynasty.

Before Yin Chengfeng returned to the imperial city, he brought New Year's gifts, first-class spring tea, first-class porcelain, cloud brocade, bird's nest, ginseng... It was quite generous, and there were more than half a year's dividends, which amounted to more than ten thousand taels.

It seems that the sales of white sugar are very high.

The New Year’s Eve reunion banquet at Weicheng’s family is prepared by all the family members by themselves. Compared with buying from outside, making it yourself is more New Year’s flavor.

The New Year's Eve reunion banquet was in charge of the reunion banquet with Aunt Mao and her servants, and Wei Cheng brought his wife, Wei Hu, Wei Yi and the others to prepare the miscellaneous things.

During the Chinese New Year, we need to prepare melon seeds, peanuts, candies, hemp balls, fried spring rolls, rice cakes, window grilles... I have to buy melon seeds and peanuts, and I make other New Year's goods by myself.

Post Spring Festival couplets...

Zhou Yuan smiled and asked, "Husband, do you want to write the Spring Festival couplets yourself?"

"Uh, no need." Wei Cheng blushed, "Buy—"

His calligraphy is like a ghost drawing talisman, which is good for exorcising evil spirits and driving away Nian beasts!

Zhou Yuan covered his mouth and smiled, Wei Cheng smiled indulgently, knowing that his wife was teasing him.

"Master can't write Spring Festival couplets, I can write, let me do it." Wei Hu put on a posture, and there was red paper, pen and ink on the table next to him, and he dipped the banknotes with ink, and swayed the red paper... ..

Everyone expected, and waited—

After the pen stopped, Wei Hu held up the couplet, and said loudly in satisfaction: "Okay, it's finished, let someone paste it!"

Zhou Yuan: "......"

Wei Cheng: "......"

Wei Lei: "..."

Everyone:"........"

What the **** is that? !

The writing is crooked, the ink is still on the surface of the couplet, a little ink horizontally, a little ink vertically looks like an earthworm...

"...Let's go to the county town to buy it while it's early." Wei Cheng thought, making no compromises with him.

Wei Hu protested: "Master, why don't you post what I wrote? My handwriting is not chic. Don't everyone write that calligraphy like that. You can't tell what the calligraphy is. What I wrote can still be seen as calligraphy. .”

Wei Cheng: "...The characters written by calligraphers are calligraphy, and the characters written by you are ghost symbols. Can you compare them!"

If he really sticks it on the wall, his face will be lost for the next year!

The others covered their mouths and laughed.

Butler Mao finished laughing and said, "You don't need to buy it, the old slave has already bought it in advance." The red paper, pen and ink prepared were all for the occasion.

"It's Uncle Mao who has the foresight." Xiaoliu smiled and said, "If Wei Hu's Spring Festival couplets are posted, you don't need to go past New Year's Eve, just step over and prepare to drive away the Nian beast."

"That's right, Miss Xiaoliu is right." Qiaoxi smiled.

Wei Shidao: "Uncle Mao, where are the Spring Festival couplets? My brother and I will post them." Posting the Spring Festival couplets written by Wei Hu is still unnecessary.

Uncle Mao's grandson Xiao'an said: "Uncle Wei Hu's writing is so ugly."

The others couldn't help laughing out loud.

Wei Hu put on a tiger face: "..."

Wei Cheng smiled: "Actually, it's not impossible to post..."

Looking at Wei Cheng unanimously, Zhou Yuan opened his mouth in a small circle, and the others were stunned. Master, think twice, do you really want to hang up the couplet written by Wei Hu?

Wei Hu was happy, because the master still has vision, and then hurriedly asked: "Master, where to post, I will post where you say."

The crowd waits—

With a smile in his eyes, Wei Cheng said slowly, "Then stick it to the door of Wei Hu's room."

Hahaha! !

Everyone burst into laughter, joyous laughter spread in the front hall—!

Wei Hubei: Master, you are kidding me!

 …

Under the darkness of night, there are lights and festoons, and the lights are bright.

No matter the servants or the masters of the Weicheng family, they sit together at the New Year's Eve reunion banquet. The delicious food is rich and the whole family is happy!

And every household in Nanshan County, Aunt Yang's family in the suburban houses, Yang Dashan and He Fan's family who were once poor and couldn't afford rice grains, and other poor families can eat on New Year's Eve since they work in the workshop. After a meal of meat, the whole family sat around under the candlelight, smiling, having a happy reunion dinner happily and contentedly.

Not only them, but also the homeless workers who work in the workshop and take the workshop as their home. There are more than a dozen or twenty people who cook and sit around for the reunion dinner together. Everyone smiles happily. There is a tall and thin man next to the brother's mother and son. He has the reflection of the brother in his eyes, and the reflection of him in the eyes of the brother.

The tall and thin man is my brother's husband, and he came here with the cargo ship. On the day he delivered the goods to the grocery store, Wei Cheng asked his brother to wait at the door of the grocery store. When the tall and thin man appeared, my brother burst into tears. The **** broke, and he rushed over quickly, crying: "A Tie!"

The tall and thin man He Datie was stunned, his body stiffened and he looked at his elder brother who threw himself into his arms and cried. The throbbing pain, he clumsily comforted: "Don't, don't cry, I, I am here!"

From the day we met again, He Datie didn't fully recover his memory, but he vaguely recalled some scenes. He remembered the time when he and his brother were unmarried... Hearing that Fu Lang was kicked out by the family, he was with his son. Almost starving to death and freezing to death on the street, He Datie was furious and heartbroken. He hugged his husband and son tightly, feeling their existence. That day he remembered the scene of the child's birth—

He Datie did not recover all his memories, but he knew that the elder brother beside him was his husband, and the son beside him was his son.

He did not choose to return to his hometown. He chose to settle down in Nanshan County with his husband and children. For the others who fell into the sea, my brother told them their identities. They had family members, wives and children. .

He Datie: "Thank you Boss Wei for reuniting our family."

"Yes, thanks to the boss, we can all have enough to eat, and don't have to suffer from cold and hunger outside."

"We have to work hard to repay Boss Wei."

"Yes, we will work harder next year!"

 …

Refugees set up shelters outside the grocery store.

Outside the open space of the shed, several large pots were set up, and the big pots cooked a big pot of rice, with minced meat, dried shrimps, and vegetables in it, and a big pot of bone soup was boiled next to it, and the soup was boiling—

Some refugees are cooking rice and soup, some refugees are sitting around the fire, smiling under the light of the fire, they are all waiting for the New Year’s Eve dinner—

This New Year's Eve dinner was the best they had ever had!

Qinghe Village.

The Zhou family's reunion dinner was eaten in silence by the adults, while the children ate with joy.

Zhou Yuan's second sister-in-law Zhou Yang and third sister-in-law Zhou Wang returned to Zhou's house during the Chinese New Year, and they both bowed their heads and ate quietly.

Everyone in the family is here, except Mrs. Li.

Shitou is an older child, and he is already a governor. He knows that his mother has done something wrong and cannot go back to Zhou's house, so he was sad and ate in silence.

Zhou Yong picks up vegetables for his son.

Zhou's father and Zhou's mother looked at their grandson, and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. The adult's fault must be borne by the child, so I don't know what Li will think when he finds out, and whether he will think more about his son.

And far away in Lijia Village.

The Li family didn't see the Zhou family coming to give the New Year's gift, let alone pick her up, so they felt a little bit in their hearts. Li Shi couldn't hide it, so she was kicked out by the Zhou family and couldn't go back. When she went back, she had to tell the Li family about her reconciliation. .

The Li family cursed, cursed the Zhou family, and cursed the Li family.

In the past, they would have gone directly to Zhou's family to settle accounts with them, but Zhou's family was backed by Wei Cheng, so they dared not, and if they reconciled, they would not be able to stop them, so the result would still be the same.

It's even worse for Mrs. Li in the Li family!

She didn't have to eat the New Year's Eve dinner, and every family was having a family reunion dinner, so she hugged herself in the corner of the woodshed and cried.

If nothing happened, would she eat and live in Zhou's house?

Why does her family treat her like this.

What did she do wrong!

 …

—

Wei Cheng's family finished the New Year's Eve dinner.

Wei Cheng and Zhou Yuan sat at the main seats, Wei Lei sat on the right side, and the servants of the family stood, waiting for the New Year red envelopes to be distributed.

The first one to go up is Xiaoan.

Xiao An: "I wish Uncle Cheng and Uncle Yuan a happy and healthy New Year, please give me a red envelope—"

Everyone laughed, it was normal in the front, but what was the talk in the back.

Wei Cheng smiled and said, "Xiao'an, who taught you the last sentence after you tell Uncle Cheng? Uncle Cheng will give you a big red envelope after telling Uncle Cheng."

As soon as he heard that there was a big red envelope, Xiao An did not hesitate to betray him, pointed with his little hand, and said crisply: "Uncle Wei Hu taught it."

The unanimous expression on the scene: it is this unreliable big man.

Wei Cheng and Zhou Yuan handed the red envelope to Xiao An, Wei Lei also handed out the red envelope, Xiao An stood beside his grandparents, Uncle Mao and Aunt Mao smiled, "Don't listen to what Uncle Wei Hu says in the future."

Xiaoan had a red envelope and smiled happily; "Understood, I won't listen to Uncle Wei Hu next time."

Wei Hu: "..."

Wei Hu was the second to jump out, grinning, and said loudly: "I wish the master and the master a long life, give me a big red envelope—"

Longevity is a good word, but can you stop saying it so funny.

Wei Cheng didn't stare angrily, and still gave the red envelope. Zhou Yuan covered his mouth and smiled: "Wei Hu, put this red envelope away, and use it to marry a wife next year."

Wei Cheng smiled and gave a daughter-in-law a look of praise.

Xiao Liu smiled and said: "Wei Hu, you have to keep it well, don't disappoint the Lord's kindness."

Uncle Mao: "The old slave will supervise."

Aunt Mao: "Wei Hu marries a daughter-in-law, this matter is left to the old slave, and he will definitely help Wei Hu choose a girl who can manage the house."

Wei Cheng said solemnly: "Leave it to Aunt Mao, choose carefully, and Wei Hu will definitely be satisfied with the selection."

Wei Hu: "..."

For the first time, I felt that money was hot.

.........

After the red envelopes were handed out, Wei Cheng sent people to the front hall to watch the year, whether it was chatting or drinking, they could play leaf cards as they wished, while Wei Cheng sat on the sofa in the living room in the backyard with his wife in his arms to watch the year.

I don't know when it will start to snow outside.

Zhou Yuan: "Husband, it's snowing, the yard is covered with lanterns, it's beautiful to illuminate the snowflakes."

Wei Cheng put his arms around his wife and asked gently: "Do you want to go out and see?"

"No." Zhou Yuan shook his head, "It looks better just like this." Looking at Snowflake in her husband's arms is not only beautiful, but also very warm.

"Okay, let's see it this way." Wei Cheng's deep voice was more gentle.

The two quietly looked at Xuehua and chatted, chatting—

Wei Cheng realized that there was no response from the person in his arms, he looked down, with a smile in his eyes, and softly called: "Yuan Yuan."

"Huh?" The voice was sleepy.

"How did you keep the old age at home?"

Zhou Yuan raised his spirits: "...with the family, around the stove, eating melon seeds and chatting, and every time I dozed off in the middle of the New Year's Eve, my mother would not let me sleep. Pull me to chat non-stop, if you are really sleepy, pull me out together to blow the cold wind to refresh you, if the snow is thick, you can make snow to play, so you won’t be tired after playing.”

Wei Cheng looked at the thin layer of snow in the yard, and it was useless to build a snowman. Seeing that the person in his arms dozed off again, he asked softly, "I'm sleepy, shall I carry you back to sleep?"

"No." Zhou Yuan hugged the man with both hands, rubbed against Wei Cheng's arms, and said softly, "Accompany husband, this is our first year together, how can I sleep, I just take a nap, husband, look Wake me up if I fall asleep."

They are all used to going to bed early, and they want to fall asleep when they go to bed, and the husband's arms are comfortable, and they want to sleep even more.

Wei Cheng looked at his daughter-in-law rubbing against his arms, rubbing against him, and his heart was burning, and that soft voice was like being coquettish, Wei Cheng's eyes deepened, and his deep voice said seductively: "Yuan Yuan, my husband has a way to keep you from falling asleep. , and let you keep the old age, do you want to?"

"want-"

Zhou Yuan raised his clear eyes, his eyes were full of moisture, looking at people full of expectation, Wei Cheng's throat rolled, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Don't go back on your word."

Zhou Yuan blinked, why did he feel that her husband's voice was hoarse.

Wei Cheng picked him up, Zhou Yuan exclaimed, and he instantly woke up, only then could he clearly see the scorching heat in his husband's eyes.

Wei Cheng lowered his head, stared at the person in his arms, and said in a hoarse voice, "Let's go back to the room."

Zhou Yuan's face flushed instantly, he was so nervous that he forgot to react.

Wei Cheng carried the man back into the room, and directly pressed him on the bed. Wei Cheng moved closer to Zhou Yuan's ear, and said in a low voice, "Yuan Yuan, we are going to watch the New Year together..."

This watch, "keep" all night!

—

The imperial city in the distance.

Yin Mansion.

Mrs. Yin asked: "Where did you three young masters go? You didn't go to the flower hall to watch the new year, and now you are gone!"

The servants in Yin Sanshao's courtyard lowered their heads, faltering and daring to speak.

Mrs. Yin directly showed the aura of being the mistress of the house, and scolded: "Speak! Where did the third young master go!"

The servant did not dare not to speak, and tremblingly said: "Go back to Madam, the third young master said, go and climb the wall!"

Wall climbing? !

Mrs. Yin was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that she laughed and scolded, "This child is just doing something rude."

Knowing her son's whereabouts, Mrs. Yin didn't care about it, and took the nurses and maids around her back to the flower hall to watch the new year.

Those who are older than the Chinese New Year know how to run outside.

The side wall of Qi Mansion.

Yin Chengfeng climbed up the wall with all his might, and he did not forget to remind his subordinates who were supporting him with both hands: "Yan Yi, don't drop me, your young master."

Yan Yimu said with a straight face: "Young master, wouldn't it be better for this subordinate to take you directly over the wall, you have to climb it yourself."

"What do you know? It's fun, it's heart." Yin Chengfeng snorted.

Yan Yi rolled his eyes in his heart, he had to make a fuss during the Chinese New Year, if he fell off the wall and alarmed the guards of the Qi Mansion, there would be another joke in the Imperial City for entertainment tomorrow.

Yin Chengfeng, who finally climbed up the wall, sat straddling the wall and asked, "Yan Yi, did you hand over the letter to Yi Yi?"

Yan Yi replied: "The letter was handed over to the young master by my subordinates."

Satisfied, Yin Chengfeng jumped off the wall and landed easily without disturbing the guards in Qi's residence.

When Yan Yi heard that his young master had landed safely, he raised his breath, jumped over the wall, and landed beside his young master without a sound, and then walked ahead to clear the way for his young master.

Qi Yihan used the excuse of being uncomfortable, and took his attendants back to his courtyard ahead of time, wearing a white cloak, standing in the small pavilion in the courtyard and waiting.

When Yin Chengfeng approached, Qi Yihan happened to see him and smiled at him. Yin Chengfeng was stunned when he saw the smile of the person he was thinking of.

The beauty is like a bamboo, elegant and graceful, with a faint smile, slowly flowing into his heart.

Yin Chengfeng strode over, stood in front of Qi Yihan, and said in a low voice, "Yi Yi, I'm here to accompany you to celebrate the New Year."

"I know." The beauty's voice was soft and clear.

He said that he is here, and he will accompany him during the New Year.

When he heard that people were returning to the imperial city, he was waiting...

Yin Chengfeng couldn't help hugging him into his arms, Qi Yihan's ears were rosy, Yin Chengfeng leaned into his ear, and said in a low voice, "I miss you."

After hearing Yin Chengfeng's words, Qi Yihan thought of his mother's words. She said, marry to the Yin family. Yin Chengfeng is the third young master of the Yin family. As him, it is inevitable to take concubines. You have to understand.

He understands that as long as Yin Chengfeng has him in his heart, he will try to accept him, unless his heart falls on others in the future, then he will be alone for the rest of his life.

Yin Chengfeng didn't know that his daughter-in-law was in his arms, and her thoughts were far away.

If he knew it, he would swear to God that he would not take a concubine if he was killed!

But he doesn't know.

He looked at Qi Yihan, hugged the person in his arms to relieve his lovesickness, and then let go of the person in his arms. He lightly kissed Qi Yihan on the forehead. Cheng's apology, but also love for the person in front of him.

Yin Chengfeng's soft kiss brought Qi Yihan back to his senses, and he took the initiative to snuggle into Yin Chengfeng's arms. Yin Chengfeng was excited and hugged the person in his arms tightly again, only to hear the man in his arms say: "I miss you too."

Yin Chengfeng felt extremely satisfied.

Hold on and don't let go.

Yan Yi, who was watching the wind from a distance: "..."

It's not easy to watch the wind, and they were all caught. People must have been waiting behind the pillars for a long time, so he didn't notice it.

Qi Mingheng stood quietly in the darkness, stood for a while, and left without saying a word, leaving a meaningful look before leaving.

Yan Yi mourned silently for his young master.
