Emperor Xiaoyao of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 298 There is a tree in the extreme north with black flowers and a big washbasin
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Jin Yu woke up amidst Yang Ying's complaints: "If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't let you make trouble. I dare not stay in bed today. My husband still has to worship ancestors." Jin Yu rubbed his eyes and yawned, while Ren Xuanxuan took care of it, but Xuanxuan was more obedient and helped Jinyu put on the dress without saying a word.

With the experience of last year, Jin Yu performed very well in ancestor worship this year. His respect and remembrance for Grandpa Tang came from the bottom of his heart.Standing side by side with Jin Yu, Yang Ying also looked solemn. Worshiping ancestors is a big event in her heart. A family comes first before a country.

Although Yang Ying can accept Xuanxuan to accompany Jinyu to mess around, she does not allow Xuanxuan to enter the ancestral hall for half a step. Those who just regard concubines as reproductive tools and playthings.Jin Yu asked himself that he couldn't be so inhumane, but he didn't force him to bring Xuanxuan into the ancestral hall to worship. Both of his women took the status quo as a matter of course, so he was naturally happy to pretend to be blind. How could a bowl of water be so easy to serve? flat?There will always be occasional bumps and spills.

After offering incense to Grandpa Tang, the young couple withdrew from the ancestral hall, and Jin Yu went back to his room to change into his gowns.The dress is very gorgeous, it shows your identity very much, and it has an evasive effect. The farmers stop or walk around when they see it from a distance.With Jin Yu's lazy nature, he felt awkward wearing a suit while studying, not to mention this kind of dress that is a sign of death in the eyes of snipers.Yang Ying seldom has the opportunity to dress so formally throughout the year. Whether she wants to tell everyone who is the hostess through her clothes, or quietly tell her parents that she is doing well, Jin Yu doesn't point it out. , cover her well so that no one will find out.

Households in Jinjiazhuang are not qualified to set up ancestral halls, but this does not prevent them from buying some sacrifices and worshiping their ancestors at home.The orphan group watched their classmates follow their father to pay New Year's greetings, their faces full of envy.After Jin Yu saw it, he realized that they also had parents. He was very lucky to meet Grandpa Tang. Although he may not be able to treat them like Grandpa Tang, he must try his best to help them become talents. Helping them is also helping himself. , This is my future team.

"Zhu Peng, Zheng Yue!" Jin Yu waved to the orphan group and called the two leaders over.

Hearing Jin Yu's shout, Zhu Peng wiped his eyes with his sleeve, and sniffled his nose, which was a little stuffy.Zheng Yue rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand, then glanced at Zhu Peng, and the two ran towards Jinyu in tacit understanding.

"Miss your family?" Jin Yu grabbed the heads of the two of them and rubbed them vigorously, it was fine, no brain oil.

"En." The two looked at each other, nodded frankly, and lowered their heads again.Everyone has never been ill-treated here, and it is much better than when their parents were alive, but they still miss the past, as if they can't justify it, and the two of them are a little bit conflicted and ashamed.

"People are not grass, how can they be ruthless? I was negligent." Jin Yu felt relieved. He didn't think it was wrong to miss his parents. Even if he himself was abandoned, he would occasionally fantasize about what kind of people his parents were. , I am afraid he is not a heinous person, is he?After all, he didn't strangle himself to death... Jin Yu patted the shoulders of the two of them, "You two are older children, you have to take good care of your younger brothers and sisters. Come home with me in a while and get some joss paper money, and share it with everyone, reminding you Stay safe, everyone, and don't leave open flames."

If there is something missing in a small family, you can either find some substitutes to make do with it, or grab the child and hand a few copper coins in your hand, "Go get some soy sauce"!Under Yang Ying's management, the Jin family has left the class of small households. There are rules about how much to keep, and what is consumed must be made up immediately. Come and open your mouth."Of course, it is still far behind Li Erye. The standard of Li Erye's enjoyment is "everything must be complete, I can leave it alone, but I can't have it when I want it", so arrogant!

As soon as Zhu Peng and Zheng Hao went out with a basket of joss stick paper money, Cheng Huaimo rode into the house on horseback. He didn't even have time to change his dress. He probably rushed over as soon as he came out of the ancestral hall.

"Brother, do you still have the flowers from last night? Another cart!" Cheng Huaimo entered the door and took off the cotton hat and gloves that didn't match the dress, howling excitedly: "Brother, I didn't see you last night, it's so beautiful ! Just like pear blossoms in spring, full of flowers, no leaves..."

"Thousands of pear trees are blooming, right?" Jin Yu glanced at Cheng Huaimo, and stretched comfortably on the chair.

"Yes! Yes! Big Brother's description is good!" Cheng Huaimo gave Jin Yu a thumbs up and continued to show off, "The funniest thing is those guards, pushing water carts and carrying buckets... Haha, I laughed so hard." Let me laugh for another 300 years.

Jin Yu gave Cheng Huaimo two white eyeballs, and thought, as if you didn't make a fuss when you first saw him.

"Hey..." Facing Jin Yu's blank eyes and silence, Cheng Huaimo's arrogance quickly disappeared, and he gave himself a guilty conscience: "This is not a father's fate."

"It's gone. Even if I have it, I can't give it to you. It's reserved for Huaiyu's wedding." Jin Yu spread his hands, what can you do to me?
"Add some more." Cheng Huaimo looked flattering, and then slapped his chest loudly, "What's missing, brother, I'll draw you from the mountains of swords to the sea of ​​fire!" He still remembers being assigned by Jinyu to collect eggs last year, and also I believe that my elder brother will not really let me go down the mountain of swords and fire...

"It's not difficult to prepare." Jin Yu changed his mind. A while ago, he still underestimated the ostentatious nature of the Cheng family's bones and birth. After the disturbance last night, everyone knows about the fireworks. I believe there will be many others Want to try it a few times, "The difficulty is that the raw materials are too difficult to get."

"This brother is the best!" Seeing Jin Yu let go, Cheng Huaimo hurried to promise.

"There is a kind of tree in the extreme north that grows when the sky is full of red, yellow and green lights. It takes about forty or fifty days to bloom. If you are lucky, it can bloom twice a year. If you are not lucky, it will bloom twice a year. It’s hard to bloom once. The flowers are easy to recognize, black and as big as a washbasin. You pick a dozen or so flowers, and I’ll process them again, and I think I can make a cart for you.” Jin Yu thought of the aurora floating in the sky The beautiful sky of the sky is nonsense.

"Ah?" Cheng Huaimo was stunned. He didn't expect it to be so difficult to make a firework, but he didn't intend to give up. "How far is the extreme north that brother said?"

"More than 1 miles? It's estimated to be less than [-] miles away." Jin Yu saw that Cheng Huaimo, the idiot, was showing signs of being angry for fireworks, and said the number slowly. Even if Cheng Huaimo really wanted to go, the old goblin would not agree. I would rather lame his legs than go to the North Pole to pick flowers.

Cheng Huaimo said with a sad face, "Is there no other way?"

"No." Jin Yu said that there was nothing he could do to help, "After Huaiyu's wedding, there is nothing left. This thing is not suitable for eating or drinking. If it is gone, it will be gone."

"Brother, where did you get that cheeky flower from before?" Cheng Huaimo didn't give up, and if he didn't ask clearly, he would be crippled by his father when he went back.

"When I came out of the desert, I picked it up under the body of the dead." Jin Yu smiled harmlessly, "That buddy has been sun-dried into a mummified body, and he still protects those flowers in his arms. What a good thing, and thanks to that buddy's habit of taking notes, otherwise even I wouldn't know where the black flowers came from."

"There's no other way?" Cheng Huaimo still didn't want to give up.

"It's gone." Jin Yu shook his head to help him give up.The composition of fireworks is not that complicated, and if it spreads out, Jin Yu is really very worried that a tiny bit of it will accidentally create a big killer.He is still wary of this era. In an era when property cannot be guaranteed and personal safety can be punished only by a word from the superior, he would rather keep more means of self-protection. If it is really a last resort, he will use Vote with your feet - get away!At that time, the black powder will become an excellent help, and it will also be the biggest reliance for him to rise again!
"Okay then." Cheng Huaimo sighed, and said dejectedly, "Brother, you need to have a good meal and comfort my wounded little heart."

"..." Jin Yu is also convinced of this foodie, he must be a Taurus!With a mysterious smile, "You can have this, and I'll give you some good things you haven't eaten before."

Anyone who eats food must have good legs. Wherever there is delicious food, he will naturally have legs... Jin Yu's sea cucumbers that have been soaked for several days can just be taken out to eat. Recently, he has been moving forward and back a lot. He planned to make up for himself, so that he could take advantage of Cheng Huaimo.

"It was fine when I came here, so it's going to snow after a while?" The dishes were not ready yet, and it was getting dark at noon!There is no electric light these days, and when it gets dark, we have to light candles, which is very troublesome.Cheng Huaimo muttered, and looked up to the sky curiously, but it didn't matter, he shuddered.

"Kidney deficiency? Why are you shivering? Isn't it cloudy?" Jin Yu teased Cheng Huaimo while eating melon seeds.There are no sunflower seeds these days, and I am greedy for roasted seeds and nuts. It just so happens that there are so many watermelon seeds now, so I just use them to fry some watermelon seeds.

"It's a solar eclipse, and someone is going to be unlucky again." Cheng Huaimo shook his head and sighed, before turning to heartless joy: "Fortunately, there are no fireworks today, otherwise they must have been lit, and it would be a disrespectful thing to be passed on to the court." charge."

"It means that your fate is good." Although Jin Yu disdains to educate Cheng Huaimo, he has also heard of some cases of being convicted of abnormal astronomical phenomena before. Not only is it a tool for governing the country, but it is also an excellent candidate for scapegoating.
In the era without sunglasses, Jin Yu was not interested in watching a solar eclipse, unless he wanted to be blind, watching a solar eclipse is far less fun than teasing Cheng Huaimo. "You should eat less of that sea cucumber in a while. If you eat too much, you will get angry and get nosebleeds."

"Just the little thorny bug that you received a while ago?" Cheng Huaimo refused to believe it.

"Where is it small? It must be bigger than your bug." Jin Yu glanced at Cheng Huaimo's golden section point, and smiled wickedly. The old ginseng after soaking hair is really incomparable to ordinary people.

"cut!"
