men and women

In previous years, when it started to snow in Kyoto, Gu Xinyue would do nothing to start the cat winter.Not this year, I was still busy until the [-]th of the twelfth lunar month.Twenty days later, I can finally calm down and enjoy the New Year.

In fact, apart from Ding Xiang, other people can also serve as a guest cook, but Ding Xiang still leaves Zhang Mansion every day and hurried across half of the city to return to Shen Mansion. The affairs of the government relieved Gu Xinyue from his boredom.

Yue Hujia is also very desperate in Zhang Mansion, and has been fanning the flames, causing Zhang Jintian's wife to quarrel with Zhang Jin's people, and he also goes all out to quarrel with Zhang Jintian's wife. Zhang Mansion is as lively as singing a big drama every day.Zhang Jintian has regained a little consciousness. In fact, he has always been conscious, but he was sick and couldn't speak, but now he can talk. Every day he sees the house so lively and he doesn't make a sound, but why he doesn't speak when he sees Boss Yue.

"Did Boss Yue talk to him first?" Gu Xinyue was wearing a winter coat with a wool scarf, sitting cross-legged on the heated Kang, and was trimming a small potted plant with scissors.The four maidservants were all sitting nearby, some were peeling walnuts in their hands, and some were playing with potted narcissus plants, listening to gossip.

"It doesn't seem to be." Ding Xiang thought for a while and said, "The grandma of the Zhang family forbids Boss Yue to stay at home for the New Year and has been making troubles. Fortunately, Dr. Wu said that Master Zhang is just recovering now. Boss Yue will be fine if he insists on it for a while." Out."

"Did Doctor Wu say where he will celebrate the New Year today?" Gu Xinyue asked.

"When I asked this question, Dr. Wu still said I was stupid. Where else could he go to celebrate the New Year in Kyoto now? He said that the young master dug him out of the mountain nest, and if he didn't entertain him for the New Year, we wouldn't see each other in the future." Ding Xiang was somewhat Aggrieved to say.

Gu Xinyue smiled, "His room has been prepared a long time ago, since Boss Zhang is almost ready, let him come back."

Ding Xiang nodded again and again, she could come back sooner, the cook of Shen Mansion guarded the door every day to block her, asking her to teach some Chinese New Year dishes.Although the young master hasn't asked her to cook for the whole family yet, she still has to be prepared.During the Chinese New Year, the young master can't eat separately from the old lady.

Because of the ingenious national department store, Shen's Department Store had a booming business years ago. After Shen Heli gave red envelopes to his subordinates with a smile, he closed the shop and prepared for the New Year.

Nowadays, there are happy Chinese New Year scenes everywhere in Kyoto. When Jiang Chengjun was in charge of the local government, he always took a state of recuperation for ordinary people. After a year and a half, it has been quite effective. Most people can still afford new clothes for the New Year, and they are willing Buy some candy for your child to sweeten their mouths.

The state government has long been closed for holidays. The Governor's Mansion is both an official residence and a private residence. Jiang Chengjun lives in the Governor's Mansion. If there is any urgent business, he can handle it in time.He didn't say anything about his relationship with Chen Xinghan, but he didn't hide it either.Those who know know it in their hearts.

The end of the year was approaching, and Chen Xinghan from the front line hadn't come back yet, and Jiang Chengjun, whose stomach had started to hurt, became more and more upset.If he is unhappy, he can't see others celebrating the New Year happily.Let the spies on Donglin Island clean up the relationship between Li Xiang and Wang Sun.As a result, the spies hadn't acted yet, so Wang Sun dropped a large bomb first.

He sent a letter to someone with background in Kyoto, saying that he wanted them to prepare girls of the right age and go to Donglin Island for a draft.The latter and the two noble concubines are waiting.After Jiang Chengjun heard the news, the pea yellow in his hand stopped by his mouth, and he was extremely shocked.

Was it his own idea or the idea of ​​his advisers, his own idea or the idea suggested by someone with ulterior motives.Is this still the era when he used the back position as bait and let several big families be used by him like donkeys hanging by carrots?

A puppet dynasty living in a corner, is this trying to use the power of the queen's mother family to return to Kyoto?

Jiang Chengjun thought it was funny, so he thought he might as well add fire to him.He asked the spies on Donglin Island to secretly send the official letter used by the puppet dynasty to the people with background and real power in other states with the same tone.Anyway, watching the excitement is not too big.Even if the general trend will think that this is Wang Sun's foolish dream, it is just a laughing stock, but it is inevitable that someone will be tempted, so Jiang Chengjun thinks it is necessary to add a layer of chains to these tempting people, and he sent this private letter to the newspaper , and let the newspaper do a special feature, the feudal emperors of the celestial dynasty, do we still need it?

The news caused an uproar. People from all walks of life, democrats, came and went in the newspaper, whether they were neutral or supported or opposed, as well as high-level irony and humorous metaphors.In short, it was very lively during the Chinese New Year.

Shen Heli walked home excitedly with a potted plant in his arms. He specially asked someone to find it. The plum tree potted plant, which is half an arm long, seems to be able to be played with in the palm of his hand. It is now in full bloom, like clouds and snow. Kit Kat and delicate, with bursts of fragrance.

Thinking that Gu Xinyue would like it when he saw this, Shen Heli didn't feel heavy any more, he had to hold it by himself and show it to him.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw a strange man, about 25 or [-] years old, with delicate features, and now he was smiling proudly, holding Gu Xinyue's hand and saying something.

"Is there a guest at home?" After a pause, Shen Heli entered the room with a smile and said.

Gu Xinyue looked at him, and the servants got up to salute one after another, "Master is back."

"What are you holding in your hand?" Gu Xinyue asked when he saw what was covered in gauze in his hand.

Shen Heli put the bonsai on the kang table, "A friend gave me such a gadget, I thought you would like it, so I brought it back." Shen Heli took off the gauze and the panorama of the plum tree was revealed.

"Hey, plum, tall and clean, branches, clear and vigorous, flowers, colorful and in full bloom, if it is a plum grove, the plums will condense the clouds, like a heaven, fragrant, elegant and fragrant, and the fragrance can't be found anywhere." Siqin Wu said disdainfully. "Mei rhymes are four expensive, rare is not expensive, thin is not expensive, fat is expensive, old is not expensive, new is expensive, and content is not expensive. You don't care about any of them. You artificially cultivated it to be small and exquisite, so that the noble Plum blossoms are like peonies and peonies for people to play with and entertain, which is simply insulting."

Shen Heli was taken aback by the words, and went to look at Gu Xinyue, Gu Xinyue smiled and touched the plum blossom on the branch, "Don't listen to him, people who are used to destroying flowers with hot hands can also say that others are insulting."

"This little plum tree is small and delicate, and it's rare to be surrounded by flowers. It took a lot of effort to get such a one. I like it very much." Gu Xinyue said, "This is Wu Siqin, looking young, you have to call him regardless of age or seniority. Uncle, he is the most absurd and rude person, just speak straight, don't mind."

Wu Siqin continued to sneer and said, "The plum tree blooms well, but it has no fragrance at all. It looks delicate, but it has no character at all. Little Yueyue, long time no see, you have become a person who doesn't agree with you anyway." Every day, people who go to Huguo Temple to live for ten days to appreciate plum blossoms say they like this kind of thing."

"Your room has been arranged. Daimei took Dr. Wu to have a look. If there is any inconvenience, you can change it now." Gu Xinyue said.

Wu Siqin nodded at him, smiled and said that the boy was extroverted, and walked out.

Shen Heli sat down beside Gu Xinyue, "Who is he?"

"My mother's dowry doctor." Gu Xinyue said, "He has no relatives and apprentices, and usually lives in seclusion in the valley. This time, I invited him out of the mountain for the sake of Boss Zhang. It happened that at this time, I left him at home for the New Year's Eve .”

"Your mother's dowry doctor?" Shen Heli asked in surprise, "Then how old is he this year?"

"He stood up quickly when he was with my mother, and now he is more than 50 even if he is not [-]." Gu Xinyue said, "He is good at taking care of himself, because he doesn't want to be discussed and questioned, so he lives alone. His real age Don't tell them." Gu Xinyue smiled when he thought of something, "Although he might play a prank and say it first."

"This is too amazing." Shen Heli couldn't believe it. "No matter how much you take care of it, you won't be so young. I thought it was about the same age as me."

"A 60-year-old woman still has a face like a spring flower, and it's not uncommon for a girl to look like a girl." Gu Xinyue said.

"If his medical skills are so good, how could it be when you were sick?" Shen Heli asked.

"Because he failed to cure my mother, he went to retreat to practice after seeing my mother away." Gu Xinyue said, "I was not so sick that I needed him to come to cure me, and I was looking for an offering at home A doctor from my hometown, unexpectedly, his drug boy was bought and gave me birthworms. When she found something wrong, Zeng Ma went to him. At that time, the birthworms had already taken root, and the only way to get rid of them was to have sex with a man. At that time I'm only 11 years old, it's very dangerous, and Su Qingzhao has already made a fuss about me being planted with fetal worms. So there's nothing I can do about it."

Shen Heli stopped his waist and rested his head on his shoulder, "I'm sorry, I made you sad when talking about the past? Stop talking."

"There's nothing to be sad about." Gu Xinyue smiled lightly.It’s just that the process is a bit more troublesome, but the final result will be the same. Shen Heli looked over him at the potted plants on the table, “Looking at it this way, it really loses the flavor of plum blossoms. Give it to Queming. Children’s houses will have a good time watching it. In [-], I will accompany you to Huguo Temple to see plum blossoms."

"There's no reason to return the things you gave away." Gu Xinyue said, "I like it if I say I like it, and put it on the case."

Shen Heli buried his head in Gu Xinyue's neck, "How could it be so good, so good." He murmured.

Thirty Chinese New Year, in the morning, Shen Heli's father's spirit card must be invited out. I told Gu Xinyue to do these things this year. Gu Xinyue prepared the sacrifice according to the way he remembered. Shen Li saw this year's grand sacrifice. , said to Gu Xinyue in relief, "You've bothered."

The New Year’s Eve dinner at the Shen’s family in previous years included Uncle Yin and a few homeless young men besides the family members. This year, there was another Sissi Wu, who sat at a big round table and looked very lively. The New Year’s Eve dinner was brought by Ding Xiang and Zeng Ma. Cooked by the chefs of Shen's Mansion together, it took a whole day of painstaking effort to cook a table of delicious dishes.

Uncle Yin held the wine glass, "I'm afraid the emperor's imperial banquet in the past was nothing more than this."

After the meal, Shen Heli handed out red envelopes, and Que Ming clamored to set the table when he got the red envelopes. Playing mahjong and vigil after the New Year's Eve dinner has also been a habit for many years.Shen Heli smiled and said, "You just took my red envelope, and now you want to use the red envelope I gave you to earn brother's money."

"Hehe, big brother spends money in other people's pockets all year round. He only takes money out of his pocket on the New Year's day. If you miss it, you have to wait another year." Shen Queming said with a smile. Nian loses, even if he is specially fed to him, he can't fool around, it's really weird.

There are a lot of people this year, and there are two tables in the warming room. Those who play mahjong play mahjong, and those who don’t play mahjong sit on the kang and eat melon seed snacks, and some stand on the side of the table to watch.

After four rounds, Shen Heli didn't win the first game, and the golden melon seeds in front of him as chips were replaced by the second game. Que Ming, Uncle Yin, and Wu Siqin, who were at the same table with him, were naturally overjoyed.Shen Heli leaned back depressed. This year's luck was particularly bad. When he saw Gu Xinyue and Zeng Ma who were sitting on the side, Shen Lishi's eyes lit up when they chatted with each other, "Yuezhi, come and play a game."

"I won't." Gu Xinyue said.

"It's okay, I'll teach you, it's very simple." Shen Heli said as he stood up.

"No way, big brother, it's agreed that I won't get up this year when I'm seated." Shen Queming stopped him, "I've only lost four rounds, so is big brother afraid?"

"I'm afraid?" Shen Heli said, "Your sister-in-law is bored on the side, come, Yuezhi." Shen Heli insisted that Gu Xinyue come over, and the two sat side by side. .

After one round, Gu Xinyue told Shen Heli to shut up. In the second round, Gu Xinyue was confused. In the third round, Gu Xinyue was confused. After Gu Xinyue had messed up ten times in a row, Shen Queming said pitifully, "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!" If my sister-in-law continues to mess around like this, my private room will be empty."

Wu Siqin also said coldly, "Whoever played cards before should be the one who should play now. It doesn't matter if you come in and make a move."

"No way." Gu Xinyue said with a gentle smile, "Didn't it be agreed before that once you sit down, you won't get up, so you only lost ten rounds, are you afraid?"

"I was wrong, sister-in-law." Shen Queming wanted to cry even more when he heard this.
