Chu Qingzhi looked at him and said with a smile, "We will do it again next year, and make more, shall we?"

Chu Xuyuan nodded, and suddenly turned to look at Chu Qingzhi expectantly, "Fifth Sister, can we cook more sausage for dinner?"

Chu Qingzhi smiled, "Okay, you can go get it."

"I'm going." Chu Xuyuan happily went to the old house, took the sausage and ran to the kitchen, threw the sausage into the water to soak, and steamed it for a while before eating.

With a smile on her face, Chu Qingzhi turned around and went back to the house.

……

Lunar New Year's eve.

The firecrackers sounded in unison, and the old symbols were replaced with new ones.

Chu Qingzhi opened the window, took a deep breath of air outside the window, and refreshed her heart.

It snowed last night, and the sky and the earth were all white, covered with silver, and frozen for thousands of miles.

Shuang'er flew over and stood on the windowsill, "Qingzhi, Happy New Year's Eve!"

As soon as it said it, the other parrots followed suit, and the room became lively, as if it wasn't so cold anymore.

Chu Qingzhi touched Shuang'er's back, "Happy New Year's Eve to you too!"

With that said, she went to fetch food for the parrots.

Today's food is more plentiful than usual, a group of parrots rushed over happily, "It's delicious, it's delicious."

Chu Qingzhi let them eat, and she went downstairs.

Downstairs, Grandpa Chu and Chu Rong were pasting Spring Festival couplets at the gate, while Chu Xuhua and Chu Xujin were posting couplets at their own home, but they haven't come yet.

Chu Qingning put a red bracelet on Chu Qingzhi, "Fifth Sister, Happy New Year's Eve."

Chu Qingshuang, Chu Xuyuan, Chu Qingyan, and Chu Xuyao ​​came over, "Fourth Sister, Fifth Sister, Happy New Year's Eve."

Chu Qingning put red bracelets on Chu Qingshuang and Chu Qingyan.

These bracelets were made by herself.

Then he took out two pieces of pendant jade with red tassels from his purse and put them on for the two younger brothers, "I wish you success in your studies."

"Thank you fourth sister."

After Chu Qingning gave the gift, it was time for Chu Qingzhi to give it. She directly gave the four of them a longevity lock and put it on their necks, "It's pretty nice."

The four touched the longevity lock happily, "Thank you Fifth Sister."

Chu Qingshuang gave each of her two younger brothers a pen rest made by herself, with colorful patterns on it, very delicate and beautiful, and gave Chu Qingyan a little girl decoration, "I made them all by myself."

"Thank you, Sixth Sister."

After the three younger ones thanked each other, they ran out, and the eldest brother and sister-in-law, the third brother and the third sister-in-law could ask for gifts, and they could receive a lot of presents today.

On New Year's Eve, when the children at home were asking for gifts, the prelude kicked off...

"Crackling——" After breakfast, the village began to hear the sound of firecrackers, one after another, crackling non-stop.

At home, the women are busy making lunch for the whole family in the kitchen, and the men put up couplets and set off firecrackers to prepare for ancestor worship, which is full of festive atmosphere.

Children in the village go out together to beg for candy from door to door. Children represent hope, which is equivalent to sending blessings at home.

Chu Junbao was the king of children, ran into the yard, and shouted loudly with a smile, "Grandpa Chu, happy New Year's Eve."

Grandpa Chu came into the room and brought a big tray full of food, he said with a smile, "You take whatever you want, take as much as you can eat."

The children grabbed a lot of it, and put it in their pockets while eating, which was very funny.

"Grandpa Chu, thank you, let's go to the next one."

"it is good."

In groups, the children went to Tang Jinghong's house with a whoosh.

Standing at the gate, the Queen pointed to the left, "A little bit to the left."

The emperor wanted to post Spring Festival couplets for fun, but he couldn't post them well. He and the queen have spent a lot of time here.

Tang Jinghong made breakfast and came over to ask the two of them to eat it. As for the little prince, he had already gone to Chu Qingzhi's place. He probably had eaten all the food, but the two of them hadn't finished posting the Spring Festival couplets yet.

"Your majesty, why don't I come?" Tang Jinghong looked at the clumsy emperor and couldn't help it.

The queen also said, "Give it to Brother Tang, otherwise we can spend the whole morning here."

Helpless, the emperor had no choice but to step aside and give the Spring Festival couplets to Tang Jinghong, "Yu Ni, I find that you despise me very much."

The queen looked up at the sky, "This must be your illusion."

The emperor stood up and stood shoulder to shoulder with the queen, watching Tang Jinghong put up the Spring Festival couplets. Tang Jinghong didn't ask anyone to guide him, so he put them up in one go.

emperor,"……"

It makes sense to be disgusted with yourself.

The queen glanced at the emperor, went into the room and took out another couplet, "Brother Tang, here it is."

Tang Jinghong posted it again, "Okay, let's have breakfast." I have to go to worship the ancestors in a while.

Worshiping ancestors on New Year's Eve is an annual event, which is very important. After breakfast, every household in the village needs to go to the ancestral hall to prepare.

After breakfast, Chu Qingzhi, the emperor and empress, took the little prince to the county town to distribute annuities to poor households.

Tang Jinghong was a great general who was valued by the villagers the most, and was strongly required to participate in the preparations for the ancestor worship, so he couldn't go with Chu Qingzhi.

Wen Shaoyuan's household registration has already joined the Chu family village, and he is counted as a member of the Chu family village, so he is going to help Tang Jinghong.

……

Shuiyun County Government.

When Chu Qingzhi and the others arrived, there was already a long queue at the gate of the county government office.

The county magistrate and government officials are maintaining order.

The county magistrate quickly walked towards Chu Qingzhi, and when he saw the emperor when he was speaking, he was immediately terrified and afraid to speak.

The emperor's identity cannot be revealed now, the county magistrate only saluted, and did not dare to bow down, but because of this, it made people even more nervous.

Chu Qingzhi said, "My lord, just give out the taels of silver. After taking the taels of silver, everyone go home early to prepare for New Year's Eve."

The county magistrate nodded, and then waved to the yamen servant, "Hurry up, line up in three teams, and distribute money to everyone at the same time."

"Yes, my lord."

Everyone was rushing home for the holidays, and they moved very quickly. They quickly lined up. The government officials verified the household registrations and letters of recommendation in everyone's hands.

The gate of the county government office became busy in an orderly manner.

There were many people passing by to watch.

"Growing so big, it's the first time I see a silver tael."

"Me too. It is estimated that only our Shuiyun County in Daling can do this, and other places may not even dare to think about it."

"It's not that there are Chu Qingzhi everywhere, it's because of our luck that we have the opportunity to see this rare scene."

"..."

The people talked a lot, and all of them reached the emperor's ears.

He came to Shuiyun County for half a month, and almost every time he came out, he could hear people praising Chu Qingzhi. He had read many history books, and such a person had never been recorded in the history books.

He glanced at Chu Qingzhi, a beautiful girl who was particularly eye-catching in the crowd, as if her whole body was glowing, as if it was not surprising that anything happened to her.

An old man in ragged clothes walked over tremblingly, leaning on a cane with an anxious expression on his face, "Is there any silver taels left? Can I get the silver taels?"

Everyone make way for him...
