Fleeing the wasteland and farming: don't panic, the family's metaphysics boss

Chapter 159

It was getting dark, and people who had been out for a busy day all returned home, either resting or chatting with their families, to relieve the fatigue of the whole day.

Qingyu's family had something to do today, so they returned earlier than usual.After arriving home, the family was not in a hurry to cook and eat, but sat under the willow tree by the lotus pond to enjoy the coolness.

A few bright yellow lanterns are hung on the tree for use at night.There was a small round table under the tree, a few chairs and stools, and six people were lying or sitting, chatting casually.

Wen Ya first talked about the Guan Wanghui.

".The King of Guan will celebrate with the city that day, and even the women in the boudoir who don't leave the house on weekdays will go out on that day.

During the day, it is the bustle of the common people, with all kinds of activities, juggling, eating, drinking, watching and playing. I heard that every year on that day, the streets will be blocked and difficult to move.

But the highlight of Guan Wanghui was at night.After dark, the state pastor will first bring all the subordinate officials in the city to hold a sacrificial ceremony at the gate of the inner city.

After the grand ceremony is over, those rich merchants from aristocratic families who are worthy of the name will start to "invite the king".That's the real deal. "

After Bai Ri was invited by Wei Pingxiao to attend the Guan Wang Hui, Wen Ya purposely inquired about everything about the Guan Wang Hui with the disciples in the cabinet.

"What is the way to invite King Guan? Why invite King Guan?" Hongtao looked at Wen Ya curiously.

"Bring good luck. As for this invitation method, I heard that it is a competition among rich merchants from aristocratic families. I heard that each family will parade the streets to invite gods in various tricks, from the inner city gate to the outer city. The gate of the city will not end until midnight.

And after the end, a leader will be elected.The leader will be awarded the title of 'King Guan'.Guan Wang keeps everything safe and is a symbol of good luck, so whoever "Guan Wang" falls into will have good luck for a year. "

Xu Lan had also heard these words during the day, but she had always had doubts in her heart, so she couldn't help but say at this time, "Who will the 'King Guan' fall into, and will that family really have good luck?"

Heart also looked skeptical, "I never heard that there is a 'King Guan' who is in charge of luck." Could it be that she has lived in vain for more than 200 years?
However, Qing Yu said: "It is not 'King Guan' who really brings good luck, but the people who hope for good luck. As long as the people firmly believe in it, they will first consider that there is a 'King Guan' at home in whatever they do. people.

Rather than saying that "King Guan" is the god of good luck, it is better to say that it is the belief of the common people.Whoever their faith falls into, won't that family be lucky. "

Xu Lan suddenly nodded.

Hearts breathed a sigh of relief, "Sure enough, it's still a trick to fool people. It can't compare with me."

Wen Ya continued: "Last year's 'King of Guan' was the Si family. The year before last, the 'King of Guan' was the He family. The year before last it was the Si family, and the year before last it was the He family. In short, in recent years, it was the Si family. The two come in turns."

He sneered again, "The Si and He families are not like brothers, Zhou Mu's move has balanced the power of the two families."

"Based on this, it's the He family's turn this year." Shi'an said.

Chasing the Wind also smiled sarcastically: "Since it's all pre-determined in advance, it doesn't matter if you don't participate in the King Guan meeting or not."

Wen Ya shook her head in denial, "I think I can participate. Although 'King Guan' is a default decision, those who can invite King Guan are all well-known wealthy businessmen from aristocratic families. Even if we are ranked last, we are still on the list.

Shange is only slightly famous in the inner circle now, and most people have never heard of it. Participating in this Guan Wang meeting is a rare opportunity for Shange to show up. "

Qing Yu nodded slightly: "The King Guan Meeting is indeed not to be missed. A Niang can find out, how did those who participated in the previous years do it?"

"I also inquired about it. Except for a few heads fighting for beauty, there is nothing special about it. Last year, there was even a family that made a big drum with a width of about ten feet. They invited actors to sing on the drum, but they were laughed at. For a while."

Qing Yu thought for a moment, then said: "Although we are not as good as those rich merchants, we can't lose Shange's face."

Several people nodded.Chasing the wind calculated the time and reminded: "The fifteenth day of next month, there is only one month."

"We have to hurry up." Wen Ya hummed.

After this talk, Hongtao talked about what he and Qingyu had gained during the day with great interest, "Today we mortgaged eight houses, and starting next month, we will be able to collect rent money like homeowners."

Wenya Shi'an and Xu Lan didn't know about this, so they were a little surprised.

Qing Yu then explained: "You guys went out early in the morning, before I had time to say it, I discussed it with Dad, the deposit is 500 taels, and the commission for Qian's second child is 15 taels, now we have 130 taels left on hand. "

Heart added excitedly, "Although we go out for 500 taels now, we can get back the money after a year, and we can collect at least [-] taels of money this year."

Wen Ya was surprised and happy, nodded her head and said in praise: "One hundred taels of silver a year is definitely enough. It's really good to use the extra 500 taels to make money."

Xu Lan looked at the others in shock.She suddenly felt a sense of great joy and rejoicing. With such a family, she must have great expectations for her future.

Shi'an looked at Qingyu with a smile, and also talked about his own affairs, "A guest I met last month sent me an invitation card today, inviting me to go to the banquet in two days." He took out one invitation.

"Let me see which one it is?" Hongtao leaned closer, but she focused on it, "An official in the inner city?"

As soon as they heard that they were officials, several other people became serious.Shi'an passed the post over, and said, "I've calculated this person's horoscope, and he's not a villain."

"But you must be cautious." Chasing Wind reminded.

"What kind of official is that?" Hongtao asked curiously.The official position was not stated on the post, only the name and address.

"Book Cao." Shi'an replied, "in charge of money and food books." Xu Xiucai was afraid that he would not know, so he not only told the post's identity, but also told him a lot of precautions for making friends with officials.

The post was passed around, and finally returned to Shi'an, and Shi'an put the post away again.

Zhufeng stretched his waist and moved his toes, "I plan to go to the countryside tomorrow. Although I haven't been to the field for two days, it feels like it's been a long time. Uncle Xu is alone in the countryside looking after me in the medicine field. I'm sorry too."

"Grandpa likes the medicine field. If you let him take care of it, he won't be happy in time." Xu Lan said with a smile.

"There is also the matter of the lease with the He family. The head of the village said that he would go back in two days. It will be tomorrow. I have to go to the scene to confirm the situation before I can rest assured."

In this way, everyone will not persuade him.

"Then how are your feet?" Wen Ya asked.

Zhufeng moved twice, and said with a smile: "I am a genius doctor Zhufeng, how can I be stumped by a small fracture."

Hongtao rubbed her belly, "I'm hungry."

"I'll cook." Xu Lan got up quickly.

"Let's go together." Wen Ya said.All six of them got up and walked towards the inner courtyard.
