After wearing the book, she got the wrong script

Chapter 158 The New Year Comes

On New Year's Eve, dumplings are made and firecrackers are set off.

After the lively meal, before the stomach could digest it, everyone got together again to make dumplings for dinner. Bai Fu secretly put new copper coins into a few dumplings, and hid aside with Luo Jin Xiaoliang to drink Tea and small talk.

"I heard that there is a custom of offering sacrifices to ancestors during Chinese New Year. Brother Luo, you can go to work if you have something to do, and you don't have to stay with us all the time."

Luo Jin was still in his filial piety, so he knew that there were a lot of specialties without asking, but Luo Jin never took the initiative to mention his own affairs, so Bai Fu had to speak for him.

Luo Jin nodded.

"On the first day of the lunar new year, I will go to the ancestral hall of the clan to worship. Xiaobai doesn't have to worry about it."

After a while, he asked again:
"Doesn't Xiaobai worship ancestors?"

Now he already knows that Xiaoliangbag and the others are not from the Western Regions, and he also knows that the food is not from the Western Regions, but he sees through and never reveals, and never inquires about Xiaobai. He only knows, what he needs to know, Xiaobai Bai will naturally tell him.

Bai Fu smiled.

"There are too many ancestors, and I don't know who to worship. If the worship is mixed up and the incense is not enough, the ancestors may fight."

Luo Jin didn't understand this, but he didn't ask further.

Xiaobai sometimes likes to talk to herself at home, which makes people feel that what she needs is an audience rather than a trial.

At home, it's good to be at ease.

Although there is no need to worship the ancestors, everyone still symbolically worshiped the God of Wealth at night, and Bai Fu worshiped the God of Wealth as a representative, especially devoutly.

Sky Lingling, Earth Lingling, can you make me rich?
Everyone who was originally serious: "."

The scene suddenly became a little nondescript.

I don't know who took the lead to laugh out loud, and then everyone let go of their laughter and couldn't help it. Finally, they followed suit and worshiped together.

Amidst the noise, Xiao Liang handed Bai Fu a bowl of dumplings. Bai Fu took the dumplings and went back to his room. He put the dumplings in front of a bullying self-portrait, folded his hands and prayed in a low voice:
I pray to God of time travel, bless my son to grow up healthy and happy.

The night was deep, but the Prince Regent's Mansion was as bright as day.

The yard is full of lanterns of various styles, which are loved by children nowadays.

Because the young master said that the new year should be lively, the regent ordered everyone in the mansion to celebrate and celebrate the new year's eve.

The maids and servants were afraid that it would not be lively enough, so they talked and laughed at the top of their voices in the yard, and the servants also kept setting off firecrackers one after another. Everyone was smiling so hard that they couldn't see their teeth, and they were not at all calm and calm as before.

At this moment, the inside of the house is another scene.

Yuan Tao sat in front of the big table filled with precious delicacies, eating quietly without saying a word.

The regent glanced at him, and pushed a plate of braised octopus in front of his son, "Don't just eat that plate of stewed octopus, try this plate of braised octopus too."

The servant at the side hurried forward to help Bu Cai.

Looking at the mountains of dishes in front of him, Yuan Tao couldn't help but roll his eyes and look at his father, "Is this the surprise that father said?"

Ever since he was kidnapped by his father and returned to Yuandu, Yuan Tao has been depressed and didn't give his father a good look. Until a few days ago, General Bing revealed that his father would give him a big surprise on New Year's Eve this year, let him wait and see.

He kept his eyes open and waited, thinking that the surprise he wanted would come.

Who would have expected a table full of octopuses!
Who wants octopus!Who said octopus is a surprise!

Seeing the strange atmosphere between the father and son, General B, who was left behind to have the reunion dinner with no relatives and no reason, laughed dryly twice, and opened his mouth to smooth things over:

"Didn't Xiao Shizi say he liked octopus the most in Qingzhou? The prince asked people to inquire for a long time before he found it. It cost a lot of money to transport it from the seaside."

Yuan Tao: "."

The octopus I'm talking about is this octopus?

Little octopus is my mother's nickname, okay?
The little guy jumped off the chair angrily.

"Then I said I want sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn. Why haven't you found them after searching for so long?"

He put those seeds in the bag with his own hands!

When his mother traveled through time, he also saw Bao disappear in front of his eyes. His mother likes to plant this kind of thing on the balcony so much, and she will definitely not stop planting the seeds when she sees it.

If you find these crops, you will surely find your mother!
This.
Naturally, it's because your father didn't bother to look for it.

General B scratched his head and glanced at the regent.

The regent was eating octopus leisurely, and he didn't intend to answer at all. He suddenly suspected that the prince kept him for dinner so that he could deal with the little prince, and immediately regretted it, but it was too late to regret it at this time, so he had to bite the bullet and answer:

"Xiao Shizi, didn't you hand over the matter of finding these crops to Shen Shangshu recently?"

Mentioning this, the corners of the Prince Regent's lips curled up slightly. This Shen Shangshu is still useful, so I'll leave this job to him in the future, so that he won't be caught by his son all day because of this matter.

Shen Shangshu, who was away from home for the New Year, sneezed several times in succession.

Hey, it's good to have more daughters, so many people miss him in the new year!
The regent put away his complacency, glanced at his son, and signaled him to sit down and have a good meal.

When Dad became serious, Xiao Shizi was still a little scared, knowing that he had made trouble for no reason, he sat back on the chair sullenly.

A fat hand reached out and took a fruit in front of him.

"If you don't eat this, I will eat it. Daddy said that the family doesn't have enough money, so we need to save some money."

Xiao Shizi: "."

He glared at Yuan for a moment, then turned his head and shouted for pleasure.

Leshi opened the door and entered the room, and then heard Xiaoshizi ask him if the Shen family's money had been delivered, Leshi had already prepared, and hurriedly handed over the banknote and account book.

"Concubine Shen's dowry income totals 16 taels this year, please check it out."

Xiao Shizi curled his lips into a smile, and raised his chin to signal Leshi to hand over the ledger to his father.

The Regent and General B looked at each other and took over the ledger.

They knew about the fact that their son had Shen Shiniang's dowry in his hands, but last year's income was only [-] silver, so why is it so much more this year?
When I opened it, I found that everything else hadn't changed much, because the income of Youao Kyushu Auction House had increased significantly.

Feng Lao’s authentic work, Seed Auction
The regent's forehead was throbbing with veins.

"You asked me to spend a lot of time to find the precious crops, just for this?"

Do you know how much troops it cost him!

Xiao Shizi didn't look at the account book, he didn't care at all, he just needed to know how much money he could get, and it was a little strange to hear that, he leaned over to take a look.

"These are all planted in my mother's village. How come I don't know when Shen Shangshu sold them?"

The regent asked again:
"What's the matter with this old Feng's authentic work?"

Xiao Shizi confessed honestly:

"I saved an old man on the way. He had no money, so he wrote a lot of words to me. Shen Shangshu saw it and wanted to go."

The regent narrowed his eyes slightly.

Shen Shangshu.

On the morning of the first day of the new year, the sky was bright.

Bai Fu opened his eyes in a daze, and saw the smiling little heads of Xiao Liang and Dan Niang beside the bed, he was still a little dazed.

"What time is it? Why do you get up so early?"

Last night, the vigil lasted very late, and Bai Fu felt as if he had just fallen asleep, and he was extremely sleepy at the moment.

Xiaosi's deer eyes are full of smiles.

"Xiaobai, it's getting late, didn't you say that you can get a big red envelope if you go to bed early to pay New Year's greetings at the beginning of the new year?"

Bai Fu: "...then you don't have to come before dawn."

"It's getting late, it's still snowing outside, it's just darker." Xiao Liang helped Tanniang speak.

Bai Fu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, took out the red envelopes he had prepared in advance from under the pillow, and handed them over, "Maximum two, are you satisfied?"

"Thank you Xiaobai!"

Xiaoliang Danniang took the red envelope and ran away happily.

The people on the left and right were also awake, so Bai Fu had no choice but to get up, walked to the window, pushed it open, faced the snow-white yard, and stretched with a smile.

so good.

Another new year.

Luo Jin gave everyone lucky red envelopes at home in the morning before leaving the house.

He sold the house to pay off the debt, and now he can only go to the cemetery in the suburbs to worship his parents.

The Luo family moved to Bailu Town from other places in the generation of their grandfather. The grandfather of the Luo family had tea-making skills, so he bought a field in Bailu Town to grow tea and make tea. Later, he successfully started to operate a tea shop.

His father inherited his grandfather's craftsmanship and had some business acumen, so he managed the family shop prosperously and opened branch shops in other places.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and I didn't know who my father had offended. The shop was suddenly closed down by the government, and he owed a whole lot of debts.

After that, my father kept saying that doing business was not the way out, and told him to get a good name and leave his business status, so that he would no longer have to live a life of mermaid.

At the time he didn't understand the meaning of the words.

Later, when his father and mother passed away one after another, and the creditor came to him, he realized the hardship of being a merchant. After his home was beaten and robbed by debt collectors, he went to the government to submit a certificate.

The government directly dismissed him with the sentence that the debt dispute between merchants is not under the government's control.

It is said that Daye Kingdom now favors merchants, but that is only a special case during the imperial examination process. In other aspects, merchants are the targets of contempt and suppression by other industries.

After paying homage to his parents, Luo Jin drove home in a donkey cart, passing by the former shop of his family, seeing that the former tea shop had been converted into a jewelry shop, he hesitated for a moment and stopped the car.

Naturally, the shop will not be open for business on New Year's Day, he just wants to take a look, after all, it is the place he used to come to when he was a child.

While looking at the shop, the corner door on the side of the shop suddenly opened, and a person walked out, holding several boxes in his hand, some of which covered his face, it seemed that the owner of the shop or a clerk came to pick up things, Luo Jin withdrew his gaze and planned to leave.

The man suddenly called him, "Brother Luo?"

Luo Jin looked over and was taken aback, "Why is Brother Mingfang here?"

Since Qiu Wei, Yan Ming has not come to the academy again. Luo Jin heard from his classmates that Yan Mingfang failed to pass the exam. He was discouraged and decided to go home and take over the family business
Luo Jin glanced at the shop signboard, Yan Yuxuan said, "So this is your shop."

Yan Mingfang's eyes flashed, he put the box aside and walked over, bowing his hands politely:
"I haven't congratulated Brother Luo for being admitted to Master Juren yet."

Luo Jin returned the gift and thanked him, Yan Mingfang immediately said:

"This is from a relative's house of mine. I'll come here today to pick up some things to go back to the ceremony."

That's it, Luo Jin nodded without thinking too much.

"Brother Mingfang, if you have something to do, go and do it. I just happened to pass by and stopped to take a look."

Yan Mingfang said some polite words and left. Luo Jin got into the donkey cart and glanced at the sign before leaving. What a coincidence.

Thinking about Yan Mingfang's failure, he sighed again.

Yan Mingfang was on par with him in Caixue. If he performed normally, he should win the exam without any problem. This time...it's a pity.

From the first day to the third day of junior high school, the bustle of Baifu courtyard has never stopped.

Even if it was snowing heavily, it still couldn't stop people from going out to worship the New Year. On the fourth day of the lunar new year, old Carpenter Li brought his disciples and grandchildren here, and the blacksmith uncle also stopped by.

"It's a world of ice and snow, it's not easy to come here, try my signature dim sum."

Xiaosi'er's family went to a neighboring village to pay New Year's greetings, and only foreign languages ​​were left in the house, and Bai Fu happily greeted the guests.

The uncle blacksmith looked around with curiosity, "Your house is really exquisite."

Bai Fu smiled and followed him to look, her house was naturally different from other places.

"It's not thanks to the two of you."

Old Carpenter Li felt relieved when he heard people praise the house he had built, and he said with a cheerful smile:
"It's all because you have a clever mind, otherwise my apprentice and grandson would not be able to build such a good house in our lifetime."

"Old Uncle Li is humble"

Bai Fu advised tea, and waited for Old Carpenter Li to take a sip before seriously saying:
"It's always the easiest thing to talk about. It's so good to be able to put it into practice. To be honest, I'm also quite surprised. Thank you, Uncle Li!"

"That's right, with your skills, Old Li, you can afford Mr. Bai's compliment."

The uncle blacksmith didn't talk much, but these days he got to know Bai Fu very well, and unconsciously he talked a lot, agreeing naively.

Lao Li waved his hands modestly, and the eyes of Lao Li's craftsman and apprentice also flashed with pride, yes, it is the most difficult to do it, and he is the one they say can do it.

He, Qiao Daniu, did not expect that such a good house would come from him. He looked at Bai Fu with piercing eyes, and remembered the words of great talent that his master praised, and admiration flashed in his eyes.

So young.

"Actually, Uncle Tie is also responsible for this." Bai Fu pointed to the simple sofa behind him, "Look carefully at this, is there anything special about it?"

The blacksmith uncle got up to check, touched this side and looked over there, and quickly ahed, pointed to a corner and said happily:

"It's a nail!"

It turned out that the batch of iron nails that Mr. Bai asked him to drive back then were used to strengthen the furniture!
"That's right," Bai Fu said, "With these iron nails, this batch of furniture was completed so quickly, so I owe it to you."

The blacksmith uncle scratched the back of his head, a little embarrassed, "What is this little thing, old craftsman Li is still very good."

Iron nails are not small things, they have many uses, Bai Fu smiled and didn't answer this question.

During the Chinese New Year, everyone likes auspicious words, and old Carpenter Li gladly accepted them, and at the same time, he did not forget to praise each other in business.

"If you want me to say, your craftsmanship is better. I heard from my daughter-in-law that now people in our town are proud of being able to buy your pot. My wife hasn't bought one yet. Or else For Mr. Bai's sake, how about arranging a queue jump?"

The uncle blacksmith blushed when he was praised, and he went straight to where.

A few people came and went and chatted for a while, seeing that the snow outside was getting heavier and heavier, worried that the road would be difficult, so they said goodbye and left.

After seeing off the guests, Bai Fu stood at the door for a while.

The snow on the road had reached her ankles, and there were children in the village playing in new clothes in the distance. The laughter was so loud that it reached her.

It was the first time for Bailu Town to have such a heavy snowfall, and it must be the first time for these native children to play in the snow like this.

It is said that the auspicious snow heralds a good year, and I hope her babies will have a better harvest next year.

She was thinking that she would buy some more fields to stockpile in the next year, and in another year, when she earned her first pot of gold, she would promote crops such as sweet potatoes and potatoes to benefit more people.

Natural disasters and man-made disasters were frequent in ancient times. In case of a bad year, it may save many lives.
