Chapter 305 A Rare Leisure

The first day of the twelfth lunar month, the beginning of the alternation of the old and new years, is naturally also valued by the people of Yinzhou.On this day, early in the morning, Xiaodouzi and Xiaoqi, who were in charge of cooking in Taoyaju, got up and were busy making noodles and picking beans.

However, before the two of them had finished their breakfast, it started snowing again, and soon the yard was completely white.

Xiaodouzi waited for the steamer to be put on the pot, and after heating up the fire in the stove hole, he was temporarily free and said, "I'll go to the shed to make a fire, young masters and ladies like to warm up."

Xiaoqi was picking soybeans, and saw that the sky was already pale, and his hands were faster.

Xiaodouzi quickly lit a fire in the shed next to the stove, and brought a bowl of shelled peanuts to roast next to it.

As soon as he finished his work, he looked up and saw Miss San standing in the snow. He quickly bowed, "Good morning, Miss San."

Qing Yu gathered the collar of her coat and walked over, "What did you do this morning?"

Xiaodouzi hurriedly said: "Steamed buns, today is the first day of the twelfth lunar month, and you have to eat buns in the morning to flourish in the coming year. In addition, you also fried soybeans and melon seeds that can be eaten by biting; peanuts were burned beside the fire. "

Qingyu nodded and sat down by the fire.

Xiaodouzi was clever and asked, "Miss San, do you want to warm up another pot of wine?"

"Give me a pot of rice wine brewed by Xu Lan." Qing Yu leaned on the chair and read the book.

Xiaodouzi said "Hey", turned around and went into the stove to get the wine. After a while, he came out with a pot of rice wine, warmed it on the fire, and then went back to the stove to get busy.

Qingyu picked a few half-roasted peanuts and peeled them to eat. Before eating a few, Heart also came over yawning.

"I smelled the smoke from the fire when I was still in bed." Sitting next to Qing Yu, she asked again, "What's for breakfast?"

"Buns." Qing Yu handed her some peanuts.

Heart was still a little awake, leaning on the recliner, watching the snowflakes rustling outside while eating, and slowly fell asleep with her eyes closed.

After a while, Wen Ya also came out, seeing Qing Yu and Hong Tao in the shed, she was a little surprised, "Why did you get up so early." Then she also sat by the fire.

"Wake up when you wake up." Qing Yu smiled and said: "Today is the birthday, is Senior Sister going out?"

"Don't go out, stay at home today."

At this time, Xiao Qizi came out with a plate of fried soybeans and melon seeds, said hello to Qingyu and the others, then put down the soybeans and melon seeds and went back to the kitchen.

Wen Ya grabbed a handful of melon seeds and ate them, "At this moment last year, we were still in Chengyang County, and in the blink of an eye, another year has passed."

Qing Yu smiled slightly: "Well, time flies by quickly."

"Speaking of Chengyang County, I just think of my little apprentice. I don't know what's going on now. Did you embarrass me as a genius doctor?" Zhuifeng walked through the snow with his hands folded and his neck shrunk.

Shi'an walked behind him, strolling in the courtyard, compared with Zhuifeng, he looked quite elegant.

Hongtao woke up again at some point, saw her shrinking her neck and ran over to chase the wind, clicked her tongue, turned her head to Qingyu and Wenya and said, "What should I say, the demeanor before was just pretending, look, now There's no one else around, so it's just showing off."

Zhuifeng ran over, shook off the snowflakes all over her head and body, and kicked the leg of the chair under Hongtao: "As long as you look up and down, let's not dislike anyone."

Shi'an walked over with a smile, "We have to chatter early in the morning, the house must be lively today."

Zhuifeng grabbed a handful of melon seeds and looked at the others, "Aren't you going out today?"

Several people shook their heads.Heart stretched comfortably on the recliner, and muttered, "It's been a long time since I've been idle like this. Now I'm all preparing for the New Year, and I don't have much to do."

Not long after, Xu Lan, Xu Shanci and Ye Qiu came to the fire one after another. The whole family chatted and laughed, and they didn't leave until breakfast was served.

……

After breakfast, Qian Lao Er and Liao Matchmaker came to visit. They brought a basket of salted duck eggs and two jars of wine.

Zhuifeng led the second son Qian, and had tea and chats with a group of old men such as Shi'an Xu old man Ye Qiu in the main room; Liao Matchmaker came to the shed to warm up with Wenya Hongtao Qingyu and others.

What women say is nothing more than the parents' short-sightedness.Matchmaker Liao never moved her eyes from Xu Lan's body after she sat down. Finally, she couldn't bear it anymore, so she smiled and said to Wen Ya, "Ma'am, did Xu Lan say he kissed her?"

In fact, these words were just a prelude, she guessed that Xu Lan definitely didn't say kiss, otherwise why would she be busy working in the kitchen all day, if she really said kiss, her husband's family probably wouldn't agree.

Xu Lan blushed, lowered her head and said, "I will never marry in this life."

Matchmaker Liao committed a matchmaking problem, thinking that Xu Lan was worried that her husband's family would dislike her working outside, so she smiled and said: "I have talked to many people about matchmaking, if Miss Xu Lan is interested, please tell me." your request.

I know that the first rule is that the husband's family must not interfere with your affairs.Don't worry about this, I'm going to find it for you, it's definitely not an ordinary layman. "

Xu Lan was a little embarrassed, she shook her head and refused: "Thank you for your kindness, Auntie, I have made a vow that I will never marry in this life, so Auntie doesn't have to worry about it."

Matchmaker Liao was a little surprised, thought for a while, and then smiled and said: "That's because I'm busy, Miss Xu, don't blame me, that's just my fault, when I see a good girl, I can't help but want to find a good thing for her Son.

After that, if you meet someone you like, remember to come to me. This age doesn't matter, no matter what age, look at my aunt, I don't marry until I'm in my thirties.

I don't regret it at all. On the contrary, I'm very grateful. Fortunately, I didn't find someone to marry. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to wait for Brother Qian now. "

Xu Lan smiled gratefully at Matchmaker Liao.

After Liao Matchmaker finished speaking, she asked half jokingly and half tentatively: "Is the Eldest Young Master also of marriageable age?

I know a lot of ladies from high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the inner circle. If the eldest and young master have a favorite, even if it is the state pastoral mansion, I can match you up. "

After all, he is the son of an immortal master, not to mention the state shepherd's mansion, she thinks that the emperor's relatives are worthy of it.

Wen Ya hadn't spoken yet, but Hong Tao couldn't help laughing, "It's a marriageable age."

Matchmaker Liao also laughed, "That's right, men are only allowed to get married when they are fifteen, and if they really need it, I can match anyone, no matter who they are."

Qing Yu couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled.Although Wen Ya also wanted to laugh, but she is a "mother" now, so naturally she can't make a joke, so she can only hold back, and politely refuses: "It's up to him, don't be in a hurry."

Matchmaker Liao didn't care either. Originally, she was just asking habitually, but she didn't forget the identity of the noble person in front of her. In terms of identity, in this world, I'm afraid it's really hard to find someone who can match the Xianshi's family.
