Lord, don't be afraid, the princess is not angry

Chapter 22 New Years
Although Sun's behavior makes many wives look down on her, there are also people who like her temperament. The street where she lives is mostly military officers, and many of the newly promoted military officers are from common background like Cheng Dashan, and they marry mediocre backgrounds. The woman with the highest official position among them has been sealed, but Sun has never met her.There are also some wives of military generals who are descended from the general family and are more lively than the young ladies from the scholarly family.After meeting Mrs. Sun several times at the banquet, seeing that although she was born in the countryside, she is not vulgar and petty, and she has a calmness that some noble girls don't have, so I got in touch with her.

Mrs. Sun is a pig slaughterer, she should have the calmness she should have, she also knows the face that should be maintained, and she has met a few wives who can talk, and one of them lives diagonally opposite her. It was the closest to her, and after talking a few times, she often came to Cheng's house to visit.One person came, and the others followed suit. Sun's life in Chang'an became more and more lively, but her stomach still didn't move, which made her feel a little annoyed.

On New Year's Eve, the mansion was very lively with lanterns and festoons. When the family worshiped their ancestors, all the servants were asked to retire. The five of them plus Xiao Hua stayed in the main courtyard to watch the new year.Both Sun and Cheng Dashan drank some wine and talked about the past with great interest; the three sisters listened with interest.Zhuhua was still young, and she wanted to survive the old age, but she fell asleep unknowingly, and didn't even hear the sound of cannons being fired in the middle of the night.

The first day of the lunar new year is the day when the emperor formally enthrones and sacrifices to heaven, even though the new dynasty has been in operation for half a year.The day was selected by Qin Tian, ​​and it is said that it is a rare good day in recent years.Cheng Dashan went out early in the morning and hadn't come back by noon.Zhuhua was wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket, staying inside and refusing to go out, it was too cold outside, she wondered if the people in Qin Tianjian had grudges with the civil servants, those civil servants were probably going to be sick from the cold after half a day.Fortunately, the opening of the court will be on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, and the illness will always be cured after half a month of recuperation.

In previous years in the village, the three sisters would go door-to-door with a group of children on the first day of the new year, and when they returned, their pockets would be filled with candies.There is no shortage of all kinds of sweets and snacks this year, and the three sisters can still play with cannons to their heart's content, but there is always a little less flavor of the year.The Cheng family has no relatives in Chang'an, and Cheng Dashan has quite a few friends, but they all got together before the year and gave boxing gifts, and they didn't come to pay New Year's greetings during the first month.

"It's still more fun to celebrate the New Year in the countryside," Zhuhua said.

Jinhua feels the same way, even Yinhua misses the excitement of the New Year in the countryside.The street outside is still lively, but there are too many people, especially on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. I heard that there will be a lantern festival on the street, and the emperor will enjoy the lanterns with the people at the city gate.Jin Hua always wanted to meet the legendary emperor with her own eyes, so she begged Sun and Cheng Dashan to watch the lantern on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and they both agreed.However, she herself was not healthy enough, and she had a fever that morning during the Lantern Festival, so she could only recuperate at home.

In the evening, Cheng Dashan took Jinhua and Yinhua to see the lanterns, and Mrs. Sun stayed to take care of her, but Cheng Dashan and the others came back soon. They went too late, and there were too many people on the street to squeeze in. Squeezing and crying, Mrs. Sun said that if there are too many people, they will come back, and the three of them will come back obediently.

At the end of the new year, Mrs. Sun invited Dr. Bai to check her pulse again. Zhuhua saw that Mrs. Sun was not sick but took medicine all day long, so she vaguely guessed something.It's just that Cheng Dashan had to go out before finishing the medicine this time.

"There are gangsters in the south who are making trouble. The emperor sent General Si to go there. General Si ordered me."

The General Si mentioned by Cheng Dashan was the family where Sun went to the banquet for the first time. After hearing this, Sun asked, "Do you have to go?"

Life is good now, so why continue to fight and kill, Sun thought distressedly.

"I must go." Cheng Dashan looked smug, and he wanted to earn some more credit while he was young, so that at least Mrs. Sun could enter the palace to meet nobles like other wives in the New Year.

"That's fine, you pay attention to safety." Since it can't be changed, Sun can only accept it.

The next day, Mrs. Sun packed his luggage for him. He packed several large boxes in a daze, which surprised Cheng Dashan, who used to go empty-handed and didn't even bring his clothes.

"Will it be too much?"

"I know. I'll look at the reduction." Sun asked Cheng Dashan what he brought for wars before, but he didn't bring anything, sometimes he frowned fiercely after changing his clothes every six months.The last few boxes of things were reduced to a burden, and Sun asked Qin San to explain it to him because he was afraid that he would misplace it.When Cheng Dashan went to suppress the bandits, the few close to his subordinates naturally took them with him.

After ten days, Cheng Dashan set off.Once Cheng Dashan left, it was inconvenient for Mrs. Sun to go to any banquet, so she stayed at home with peace of mind.On the contrary, she invited the nanny who she wanted to invite years ago, and it was thanks to her new friend Mrs. Yan.

Mrs. Yan is the descendant of the general family and the only daughter in the family. Because of her temperament and self-willedness, it was difficult to find a family back then.Later, she was rescued by someone when she went out in shock, and a marriage was made.General Yan, who rescued her, was just an inconspicuous young general at the time, and he was considered the right family after a fallen general.Mrs. Yan's father valued this son-in-law very much. It must be said that General Yan's ability to be a third-rank military officer was due to his father-in-law's efforts.In this way, he naturally dotes on Mrs. Yan.Although Mrs. Yan was a bit savage before she got married, she always made troubles at home. When she got older, her temper improved a lot. In addition, she gave birth to two sons in a row. These two monkeys made her unable to exert herself to be self-willed.

After getting acquainted with Mrs. Sun, others sneered at Mrs. Sun as a butcher in the countryside, but she secretly admired her. Soon she and Mrs. Sun became handkerchief friends when she was six years younger than Mrs. Sun.She has always disliked the demeanor of those big ladies, but she still has to learn the rules that should be learned, which was what her mother said a lot back then.As soon as she heard that Mrs. Sun wanted to find a foster mother for her three daughters, she remembered the very strict Mrs. Wang who had taught her before, and begged her mother to inquire. Knowing that Mrs. Wang was free now, she discussed it with Mrs. Sun. went to ask her.

Wang Momo is now in her fifties, and she brought a ten-year-old girl named Que'er with her when she came to Cheng's mansion.Both she and the little girl, Que'er, were neatly dressed and combed their hair meticulously.Mrs. Yan was still a little apprehensive when she saw her, but after seeing the ceremony, she obviously felt dissatisfied with the way Nanny Wang looked at her.Did she do something wrong again, she wondered uneasily, and after chatting for a few words, she excused something to leave at home.

The three sisters had already met Wang Momo, and Wang Momo's complexion was not very good when they came in, especially Zhuhua was holding a little flower.Zhuhua had heard earlier that a well-behaved nanny would be coming, and when she saw Wang Nanny, she guessed her identity.She doesn't have any resistance to this, she treats it as military training when she grows up, she has survived the military training, how can she survive this?

Facts have proved that she still thinks too simply.On the same day, Grandma Wang said that the three sisters' clothes, walking posture and salute were useless in front of Sun. Sun laughed a few times, and wanted to follow suit, but she gave up the idea and said that she had something to do and left.

It's too disrespectful for Zhuhua to still slander, when she lowered her head and found that Xiaohua had also run away, the corner of her mouth twitched and she sighed angrily.
