Red House Farm Stay

Finally, when the Chinese New Year came, Jia Zhuo got a new set of cotton padded clothes, which were stuffed with cotton, which was very warm.But only the three children have new clothes, and the adults are all wearing last year's old clothes.

"Why do you make new ones? Last year's old clothes are all made of good materials, and we won't grow any longer. They are as warm as washing them in the sun." Mrs. Liu gave her daughter a sharp look, complaining in her mouth, but sweet in her heart.No matter what the family situation is, the caring of each child is better than anything else.

Even Jia Zhuo, who thought he was going to be an ancestor and coaxed him to confess, was still quiet, and he was more sensible than his daughter.The little thoughts I had earlier were also forgotten.This is the case between people. Those who have not gotten along with each other will feel that it is none of their business.Once you get along, you won't be able to let go if you have feelings.If something happened to Jia Zhuo now, she would definitely be more anxious than Grandma Liu.

"Let's make new clothes next year, one for each person." Grandma Liu touched Qing'er's new clothes and pinched Jia Zhuo's clothes, feeling that the cotton was enough, and the smile on her face deepened.

"It's cold, you stay at home to embroider and tie the nets, don't go out to suffer the cold." Ban'er also said that he took care of chopping firewood and carrying water at home.

"I embroidered piglets for my brother." Qing'er still remembered this incident, her face turned black, "You should embroider tigers."

Jia Zhuo pursed his lips and smiled, "Then I'll wait for Sister Qing'er to embroider the tiger."

"The color scheme of the Shu embroidery last time is different from ours..." Qing'er talked a lot when talking about embroidery.

"You actually remember all of them." Jia Zhuo's eyes were so frightened when she heard her report the colors of the twelve zodiac signs, but she didn't remember any of them.

Qing'er pursed her lips and smiled, and when the shopkeeper shook off the veils one by one to look at them, she was also staring at them.She thought, fearing that she might not be able to see her in the future, she might as well take a few more glances.In the end, she didn't expect that she would never forget this sight.

"You are really amazing." There is such a thing as talent in this world. Jia Zhuo has also tried it countless times. Embroidery is one of the treasures of Chinese civilization. It is good to learn to improve your style.Helpless, she just can't learn.

"Help me divide the thread, and I'll embroider a big tiger for you." Qing'er smiled and pulled Jia Zhuo away.

Farmers always have cats at home in winter, while rich people are the opposite. They go forward with gifts, visits, banquets, and activities of various names, wave after wave.

The ninth son was born in the Zha family of the Kangnan family, and is the youngest son of the direct branch. The wife of the magistrate of Wannian County is only a concubine, but she was raised in the wife's room, and she has a good relationship with this younger brother.

He was in Jinling, and the Zha family's social ceremony in Jinling City, but all the burden fell on his shoulders.Seeing the servants from his hometown, his face was darker than the bottom of the pot.

"It's really unlucky to see you again before you have walked hundreds of miles." Ninth Young Master came out of Kangnancha's house and went all the way north. He was going to turn south when he arrived at Jinling City. Home.The path happened to be a circle, and just after walking a small semicircle, I saw my family members and felt that I was still living at home, so I was naturally unhappy.

"Hehe, young master, don't say that. Once the young master leaves, the master and wife will miss him very much. Even the old slave will miss him very much."

"Go, go, who wants you, an old thing, to miss, by the way, my horses, are you careful, and the girls in my yard, how are they?"

"Okay, everything is fine. The old slave goes to see your horse every day, and the elder sister in your yard, the old slave has no way of knowing. However, it is good to have my wife here. Here, the old slave brought it The shoes and clothes are all prepared by the sister in your yard."

The manager put on an old face and said in front of Master Jiu.

"These girls, it's rare that I'm not here, so they should take a good rest." Even though he said this, he turned around happily, gesturing at his clothes and shoes, in a good mood.

"Where are you going today?" Young Master Jiu put on the new clothes made for him by his maid, and asked casually.

"I'm going to visit Jun's house today." The manager hurriedly handed over the gift list.

"Don't look at it, let's set up the car." The ninth son didn't pay attention to these vulgar things at all, and stepped out of the door in a few steps, followed by the anxious steward.

Wan Qing came out from the compartment in the house to clean things up, seeing a big bag of clothes and shoes, she had to grit her teeth.

There is a pot of bright red fruit in the reception hall of the Jun's house, which is very attractive to look at.It was also the first time for the ninth son to see him. After looking at it several times, he praised: "Jinling is indeed worthy of being under the feet of the emperor. There are such rare things. I have traveled to many places, but I have never seen it before."

"So you haven't seen it before." It was the young master of the Jun family who received the Ninth Young Master, and he looked forward to seeing it carefully, but now he said he didn't know him, so he couldn't help but be disappointed.

Seeing Young Master Jiu's surprised expression, he realized that he had said something wrong, and the young master of the Jun family hurriedly explained, "It's also an interesting thing to say, a family who just came to the city sent their maid to deliver such a pot of red fruits For the eldest sister, she liked it very much, and went to thank Miss Niu’s family according to the letter left by the person who sent the flowers. But Miss Niu’s family said that there was no such thing at all.”

"It was a trivial matter at first, but my sister was so focused on finding him. As a result, she almost searched all the ladies in Jinling City, but she couldn't find anyone."

Only then did Young Master Jiu laugh, "Isn't it because I was blackmailed by someone, but I can't do anything valuable as a gift."

"If that's the case, it's fine. If you can't catch anyone, you can just admit that you are unlucky. But there is a box of handkerchiefs in total, and there is a reward of two taels of silver. The gifts are really rare, so I don't have to lie to you like this." Let’s get something. No one has recognized it until now. These red fruits, after being picked and knotted, look like red lanterns. It seems that they can be placed until the New Year. My old lady said that when worshiping ancestors, It should be placed in the ancestral hall, so that the ancestors can also see these bunches of red fruits."

Ninth Young Master leaned closer and smelled it again, and he always felt that the smell seemed a little familiar, and he didn't know where he had smelled it before.

"Is this food edible?"

The young master of the Jun family smiled wryly, "It shouldn't be possible. The color is too bright, and it doesn't look like something edible. Dogs and cats, if they smell it from a distance, they will hide immediately. These animals have natural spirituality, so I'm afraid it can't be done." food."

"So, it's really an unsolved case." Ninth Young Master touched the red fruit with his hand and racked his brains, really unable to imagine what was going on.

"So, Lingmei is like crazy. She puts the red fruit here every day, thinking that if there are guests from all over the world, no one will know it. After half a month, no one knows it. There are still many people who want to exchange things.”

Naturally, the Jun family would not change, Jiu Gongzi knew that this was to gag him, and said with a smile: "This is a good omen, since you just moved here, someone sent such a big pot of red fruits, it seems to be God's will. God's will is unpredictable, I don't think you should look for it, just take care of it with peace of mind."

The young master of the Jun family's eyes lit up. What he said made sense. After seeing off the ninth son, he went back to Mrs. Jun's family.He called Miss Jun's family again, persuaded her carefully, and finally put out her idea of ​​looking for it again by saying that the power of the sky is unpredictable.

Although the ninth son said so at Jun's house, he told his brother-in-law and sister when he returned home.

"This matter is really strange." Jiu Gongzi looked at his brother-in-law and teased him, "Brother-in-law didn't think about continuing Qingtian's prestige."

"Young Master Jiu is talking nonsense, the affairs of the Jun family are not that simple." The county magistrate's wife spoke first.

"It's not uncommon. Many people have heard about it from autumn to New Year's. I don't think it's difficult to explain. It's probably someone who committed a crime and asked for it. Then it was too late, and the matter naturally went away." There is no more content. Even if the Jun family knew about it, they wouldn't tell a girl's family, let Miss Jun make troubles on her own."

"This argument is also an explanation." After hearing what his sister said, Young Master Jiu nodded clearly, still a little puzzled in his heart.

"No matter what, they always get a pot of rare things for nothing, and it's not a loss." The county magistrate's brother-in-law smoothed things over.He didn't want to get involved with such powerful people at all, let alone Qingtian's prestige, he didn't even want to wear a hat for him.

"Hurry up, eat this. I heard that you went to the fruit forest a few days ago and ate roasted birds from the children in your hometown. You are really a man. If you want to eat come back and tell me, can I make it for you? "The county magistrate's wife pointed to a plate of fried sparrows and asked him to eat quickly.

The home-fried ones are fine, the claws and heads are chopped, and cut into two pieces. They are marinated with seasonings and then deep-fried in a pan with low heat. They are yellow and clear, and they look appetizing.

Ninth Young Master grabbed one with his hand and gnawed it, and it was fragrant. He always felt that something was missing.After thinking about it, he asked, "Shouldn't I sprinkle something more?"

"What else to sprinkle, there is sauce on the table, you can dip it in." The county magistrate's wife pushed the sauce in front of his younger brother.

After dipping it in the sauce, Mr. Jiu ate three of them in one go. He was full of praise and coaxed the county magistrate's wife from ear to ear.

After removing the dishes, he slowly walked back to his room, but frowned tightly.I was still thinking about what the plate was sprinkled with, so that the originally plain barbecue suddenly became fragrant, fragrant and spicy.And after eating it, the stomach is warm, like a fire.

The rich have their own ways of celebrating the New Year, and the poor have their own ways of celebrating the New Year. There are also ways to give gifts for the New Year, but it’s a little simpler.Grandma Liu and the Wang family don't have any relatives anymore, but the Wang family does have clan relatives far away in the sky, and they have long since cut off contact.

But we also need to buy some annual gifts, and send some to the village head, the head of the village, and the people who have good friends in the village to walk around.

The Wang family also accepted the gift in return, two packs of brown sugar and a piece of flowered cloth were gifts from the Leng family, which were considered generous gifts.Touching the floral cloth, Mrs. Liu said with a smile that she would leave it to the two girls to make clothes in spring.

At this time, someone knocked on the door again.

When I opened the door, I saw a woman who had never seen her before, and someone brought in the New Year's ceremony.As soon as he opened his mouth, he was actually a servant of the county magistrate's family.
