A poor family counterattacks, she is beautiful and sassy on the way to the imperial examination

Chapter 97 97 New Year
The Ministry of Rites, Minister of the Ministry of Rites.

Lu Chengda was reading his father's letter, facing his wife and children sitting beside him.

Said: "Father mentioned in the letter that in his hometown academy, there is a female student he is very optimistic about, who came to the capital and asked me to take care of her."

After finishing speaking, Lu Chengda's expression was calm, and his tone was without any emotion.

"It doesn't matter what she does, she is just a female student, how much talent can she have.

If you have time, you can tutor our son, but now he hasn't even passed the exam for a scholar! " Mrs. Lu Yu's tone contained disdain for her father-in-law's recommender, as well as worry and expectation for her son.

Hearing her mother's words, Lu Xuanning said displeasedly: "When you talk about the students from the grandfather's academy, you just talk about her. Why did you bring me with you? It's really unlucky."

After speaking, he stood up, "I won't come back for dinner tonight.

mother!Don't wait for me. "

As soon as the voice fell, the person had already walked out the door.

Master Lu was about to get angry when he was interrupted by the teacup that Madam Lu handed over in time.

"Master, drink tea and don't get angry with Ning'er. Young people are just playful, and they will be sensible when they get older."

Lu Yujiao, who was sitting by the side, curled her lips when she heard her mother's words. His elder brother cared about eating, drinking and having fun, but he was bored to look at the book more than once.

Lu Shan Changren looked at his wife angrily, "A loving mother is a loser, so she shouldn't listen to you and keep him by your side.

If he had listened to his father early and let him take him back to his hometown academy to study, he wouldn't be close to the crown, and he wouldn't even pass the exam as a scholar. "

After speaking, Mr. Lu stood up and left without letting go of his anger.

Leaving the mother and daughter alone in the room, Mrs. Lu was angry at her husband for not saving her face, and reprimanded herself in front of her daughter.

He raised his hand and waved down the teacup, turned his head and saw his daughter's dull look, and cursed angrily: "I want you to be of no use, and I won't please your father.

Make a bitch's daughter a favor with your father. "

Obviously this was not the first time this happened, Lu Yujiao lowered her head and let her mother vent before she was released.

With a gloomy face, she thought that she was not as loving as Lu Yurou's father, and it was because her mother was not as gentle as Aunt Wang, so she could blame her.

An Chuxia didn't know that Master Lu mentioned her in his letter from home, which caused the already existing chaos in Master Lu's family.

If she knew, she should be grateful for how wise she is, and didn't go to them to take care of herself.

On New Year's Eve, in the small courtyard of Erjin, where Anjia rented, red couplets were pasted up and red lanterns were hung up.

An Jinchen cooked a pot of stewed duck, goose and pork.

An Chuxia thought that the tofu that represents Fu and Fu on the Chinese New Year table has not been made by anyone in this dynasty, so she thought about waiting for the opportunity to make tofu.

Soybeans can not only make tofu, dried tofu, tofu skin, yuba, stinky tofu, stewed tofu...

A range of soy products.

Thinking of this, An Chuxia knew what to make her brother and brother Runsheng do for a living.

But today is the new year, not the time to talk about this.

An Jinchen, Runsheng and the others looked at the chef at today's New Year's Eve dinner, and rubbed their eyes together.

They saw Shi Yu with a childish face holding a spoon that didn't match him, stirring in the pot.

In less than an hour, a table of seemingly delicious meals was served on the table.

When the first firecrackers crackled, the New Year's Eve dinner officially kicked off.

Then the firecrackers were set off until dark before the New Year's Eve dinner.

An Zixi finally showed his boyish appearance today, happily hanging firecrackers on the treetops in front of the gate and lighting them up, with the sound of crackling firecrackers.

Everyone sat at the dinner table, An Chuxia brought a jug of wine and filled it up for everyone, Gu Fangmiao looked at the delicious food on the table and already salivated.

An Chuxia smiled and raised her wine glass to everyone and said, "I wish everyone health and joy in the new year!"

The others also raised their wine glasses and said to her and Gu Fangmiao: "I wish you two, too, that you can win the Toad Palace in this year's spring!"

Everyone drank the wine in the glass after blessing each other.

After eating the food on the table, everyone couldn't help but praise Shiyu's craftsmanship, and An Chuxia also fried jade vegetables with a piece of meat.

The jade cabbage here is somewhat similar to the modern cabbage, but not exactly the same. It is slightly sweet and crisp in the mouth, and it is an extremely cold-resistant vegetable.

There is no greenhouse here, and this plate of vegetables was bought at a high price.

Maybe some businessman planted it on the hot spring village, taking advantage of the years ago to sell it for a good price.

After An Chuxia, Gu Fangmiao, and An Zixi, who was restricted to drink, were full, they got off the table and walked to the side to watch. An Jinchen and the other men continued to drink.

Seeing that Gu Fangmiao was bored, An Chuxia went back to her room and brought Go to teach her how to play backgammon.

This is also something she bought to pass the time because she thought that everyone at the New Year's Eve vigil would be bored.

Backgammon is easy to learn, and Gu Fangmiao learned it quickly.

However, Gu Fangmiao, who knew the rules, was quickly connected by An Chuxia, but every time An Chuxia lost to Gu Fangmiao in the last move.

An Zixi, who was watching from the side, was very anxious, while An Chuxia just smiled.

The men who didn't know when they had finished drinking came here to watch the two play chess.

"Zixi also wants to play chess?!"

Runsheng went to find a piece of paper and asked An Chuxia to draw a pattern, took the black and white chess pieces and took An Zixi to the side, and also played backgammon.

An Jinchen also followed. The three of them were over there, playing chess while discussing, which was very lively.

An Chuxia gave up the seat to Runsong who had already watched the meeting, and asked him to play with his beloved chess basket.

Finally heaved a sigh of relief, walked to the side and sat down.

Shi Yu brought her a cup of black tea soup, An Chuxia took a sip and looked up at him, "You bought tea with your own money again?"

Unexpectedly, after taking a sip, Shi Yu was found to have changed the tea leaves, his eyes flashed and he whispered, "I just bought a little bit!"

An Chuxia frowned slightly and didn't say anything else, after all, the tea might be bought for himself, so it's hard for others to say anything.

Runsong didn't wake up Gu Fangmiao, who was already dazed on the couch, until he heard that someone was already setting off fireworks and firecrackers to welcome the New Year.

Shi Yu brought a cloak for An Chuxia to wear, and the four of them stood on the porch, watching An Jinchen, Runsheng and An Zixi, and took out all the fireworks and firecrackers they bought and set them in the middle of the yard to light them.

For a while, the firecrackers on the ground crackled, and the fireworks exploded in the sky. Although they were not as dazzling as modern ones, they also had a special charm.

Runsong stood behind Gu Fangmiao and helped her cover her ears. The little girl, who was about 1.6 meters tall, only reached the tall Runsong's chest.

Shi Yu looked at the two with some envy, and happened to be seen by Run Song who turned his head.

Run Song raised one thick eyebrow, showing a smug expression on a rare occasion, and Shi Yu glared at others, turning his head away from them.
