Training Tai Sui

Chapter 91 Happy New Year

In the early morning of the first day of the lunar new year, even before the sky was completely bright, the whole Qinjiazhuang was boiling, and every household, whether it was Qin Feng or ordinary village households, began to worship their ancestors.

Qin Feng and Liu Wanting, under the guidance of Qin Hua, used three animals to worship their ancestors, and read a sacrificial oration, basically saying that everything is well for the children and grandchildren, and the new daughter-in-law came to see you in the first year , and brought you some delicious food, and then the ceremony is considered complete.

The three animals will be enshrined in the ancestral hall for three days, and then burned to ashes, which is probably the same as the meaning of burning paper money in later generations, thinking that it can be enjoyed by the ancestors.

Then a group of people moved to the front yard, Qin Feng sat on a chair, led by Qin Hua, and all the farmers gave New Year greetings to the master's family.

To be honest, the ceremony was a bit boring, but Qin Feng could only sit there blankly. These days, mavericks are not encouraged, and the doctrine of the golden mean is the rule of life.

Qin Feng nodded, called everyone, and then said with a smile: "I also wish everyone good luck in the new year, with good weather and good harvests in the new year."

For farmers, there is no sincerity in wishing them a fortune. Crops are their lifeblood.

Then came the servants and maids. This time, it was Qin Feng and Liu Wanting who accepted everyone's New Year's greetings.

Liu Wanting took out the red envelopes with a smile on her face. These things are the benefits of servants and maids, and ordinary farmers do not have them.

"Go and rest for a while when you're tired. I'm going out to pay New Year's greetings, and I'll bring you something good when I come back."

To be honest, yesterday was a bit busy yesterday, both Liu Wanting and Wan'er were a little out of spirits, so Young Master Qin waved them to go back to sleep.

As for the rules... For Qin Feng who has no elders, his words are the biggest rules in the entire Qin Family Village.

It is a custom to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year. Even if you meet an elder on the street, you have to kneel down to pay New Year's greetings, there is no room for negotiation.

The only luck is that the Qin family has no relatives and only one family of friends, otherwise Qin Feng would have to become Qin Crazy.

Under the escort of Qin Lang, Qin Feng rode the flowered horse straight to Daxing City.

Diao Xiang's family lives in the east of the city, which is regarded as a gathering place for officials. Although the house is not big, Daxing City is very expensive. Anyone who can have a house in the city will not be too poor.

When they arrived at the gate, the concierge clearly recognized Qin Feng, he didn't even need to register his name, he just asked Qin Feng to lead Qin Lang in, and asked someone to feed Qin Feng's fancy horse some fine food.

winking.

Although he is just a servant, Qin Feng's principle is that people respect me one foot, and I respect others one foot, and threw a piece of scattered silver over at random. go.

"Thank you, Young Master Qin!"

The concierge thanked him with a smile on his face. Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, the only day when tipping can be received openly, and those who don't know how to cherish it are fools.

The Qin and Diao families have a good family, so Qin Feng came to the backyard without any scruples, but he didn't want to see Diao Xiang's mother Huang, so he quickly put the box in his hand on the ground, bowed and saluted : "Happy New Year, Auntie."

Mrs. Huang was startled by the sudden appearance of a strange man, but after seeing the person, she said angrily: "You boy, I don't see you coming to the door on weekdays, so I came early at this time, could it be that you are here to ask for a reward?" ?”

"That's right." Qin Feng got up with a playful smile, and said jokingly: "My little nephew counted his fingers and knew that my aunt must have prepared a big ingot for me. I wonder if that's right?"

Huang said helplessly: "You kid, go in quickly, your uncle is going out, if you come a moment late, you will miss it."

As Shaoyin of Jingzhao, Diao Yun is not as leisurely as Qin Feng. It is unavoidable to pay New Year's greetings to superiors, and exchanges of courtesy between peers and acquaintances.

Seeing Qin Feng approaching, Diao Yun was still smiling, but when he saw the heavy box in his hand, Diao Yun's face turned cold, and he said angrily: "Ziyu, when did you learn that trick in the officialdom?" Set? Come to this old man, what gift do you want?"

Qin Feng rolled his eyes at Diao Xiang who was winking at the side, opened the box directly and said: "Uncle, it's not a valuable thing, it's just some food, it's my nephew's honor to my uncle and aunt."

Seeing that it was not gold or silver, Diao Yun calmed down a bit, but at a glance, he found many things that he had never seen before.

"What is this?"

Looking at the crab with its fangs and claws, Diao Yun was a little puzzled, can this thing be eaten?

Qin Feng introduced: "Uncle, this is a hairy crab. Wash it and steam it in a wok. It's a delicacy without any condiments. It's perfect for drinking."

"This is roast duck. It's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Slice the meat and eat it with this pancake. It's fat but not greasy."

"This is a homemade hot sauce, and it tastes best when eaten with steamed buns."

"This is..."

Listening to Qin Feng's eloquent introduction, Diao Yun and Huang Shi looked at each other helplessly. This kid didn't learn how to give gifts in the officialdom, but how could he turn into a foodie?

Huang who came back to his senses said with a smile on his face: "It just so happens that your uncle is not at home today, and the three of us have dinner together."

"That's the best way." Qin Feng agreed first, and then said: "My nephew has another family to report to his uncle and aunt. After this year, my nephew will move back to the city."

"It's fine to move back. Let's rent a small house. I'll go to the official department to see if there are any vacancies in the official position. At least let you regain the official position. Even if I die tomorrow, I will have the face to meet your father." .”

Diao Yun thought that Qin Feng didn't want to stay in Zhuangzi, so he wanted to find him a job, otherwise with a small Zhuangzi, living in the city would be tight.

"Thank you uncle for your concern, but there is no need to worry about the residence. My nephew plans to move back to the old house."

"Old house, back then... where did you get the money?"

Diao Yun's eyebrows were frowned. He knew the housing price in Daxing City very well. Although the Qin family's old house was a bit older, it was bigger than his house. With the [-] mu of Zhuangzi, Qin Feng might be in the next life. Don't even try to buy the house back.

Qin Feng smiled wryly, and tactfully told the story that his family had to rush from Zhuangzi to the city when the emperor gave an order.

Huang Shi and Diao Xiang couldn't believe it. They never expected that Qin Feng could get the emperor's favor.

Only Diao Yun was not too surprised, and asked, "But is it related to that person?"

This is about Yang Guang, Qin Feng nodded, and Diao Yun sighed: "You, why do you have to follow your father's old way... Forget it, after all, the sacred destiny is hard to break, alas."

It's good that Yang Guang is the king of Jin, but once he gets involved in the matter of seizing the heir, let alone Qin Feng, even Yang Guang, the king of Jin, may not be able to save his life.In his opinion, facing the prince, Qin Feng is even more different from ants and elephants, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he can be manipulated by others.

Diao Xiang didn't see the hesitation in his father's eyes, and said excitedly: "That's a good relationship, Brother Ziyu, come back to the city, and our Daxing Shuangjiao will roam Daxing City again!"

"What nonsense!"

Diao Yun said unhappily: "Look at Ziyu, now people take care of a Zhuangzi in an orderly manner, and look at you little bastard, who eats and spends time in the city every day, and starts to study after a year. If you don't make progress, the old man will I'll kill you, a pig and a dog!"

Master, did I become someone else's child once?

Qin Feng helplessly looked at Diao Xiang, who was suffering from the storm, and made a very shameless grimace, which made Diao Xiang couldn't help laughing, and then...

"Father, don't hit dad, can't I study?"

Seeing Diao Xiang jumping up and down to avoid Diao Yun's attack, Qin Feng knew for the first time that a fat man can be so flexible.

In the last life, people always heard that every fat man is a potential stock. Qin Feng didn't believe it at the time, but now he finally sees it. With Diao Xiang's skill, he can practice gymnastics in future generations and become a flexible fat man.

I don't know if he was affected by Diao Yun's emotions, but the next meal was rather dull. After the meal, Diao Yun didn't go to pay New Year's greetings, but directly pulled Qin Feng to the study, and asked, "Ziyu, what's wrong with you now?" It's just you and me, tell uncle honestly, are you going to help King Jin..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but Qin Feng understood what he meant, nodded heavily and said: "Uncle, that's right."

"Confused!" After getting the answer he expected, Diao Yun was not happy, but anxiously said: "Ziyu, your father was... you know the prince has been the prince for three or four years now, and he was the prince for six years before?" The son of Sui Guogong for seven years, what does King Jin have? There is no one who supports him in the civil and military courts!"
