Chapter 257 Luxurious New Year Ceremony
Heavy snow has swirled down again.

Chen Fan stood under the eaves watching the snow.Zhang Ci came over, took her hand, and dragged her into the house.

"It's the same in the house, it's too cold outside." He said standing behind her.

She leaned back and leaned into his arms: "The sight outside is good."

"Let's change the yard next year, just the two of us. I'll accompany you to enjoy the flowers and snow in the yard."

"Living in the same courtyard makes people feel like living in the same house," Chen Fan said.

"Then live in the same room." His voice was vague.Chen Fan seemed to hear it clearly, but he didn't seem to hear it clearly, so he pretended to look at the snow.

"Xiangjun should have an independent courtyard." His voice this time was very clear.

"I should also have an independent yard. After all, I am your husband in name, not a child."

It seems to be the reason.

"Then how to arrange the courtyard? There are only two in the main courtyard." Chen Fan turned his head slightly and looked at him.

Zhang Ci looked at her lips, endured it, and answered the irrelevant question: "We can also pay homage first."

"You are only sixteen, can you worship?" Chen Fan couldn't help chuckling.

"It's not that there are no ones who get married when they are sixteen, and there are couples who don't get married." He subconsciously replied.

"Do you have a roommate?" Chen Fan tensed up.

"No, no, no, there are no men in our family. We get married after the crown ceremony, and we don't take concubines." Zhang Ci quickly explained.

"Have you any sisters? Do their husbands take concubines?"

"I have two older sisters, and their husbands both have concubines. This is very common, we can't ask others."

Chen Fan was silent.The two quietly embraced each other and watched the snow.

Huai Shan and Ru Hui are going back to Liu's house, Yang Yun and Yang Hong are also going.

Yang Hong was obviously more sensible, and took the initiative to ask Liu Huaizhen for his health.Liu Huaizhen's body has also recovered, and she has been busy with things in the shop recently.

The old lady looked at the four children cheerfully: "They all grow stronger and better looking. The tea and food in the Junfu in this township is really nourishing."

Huaishan stomped her feet: "Grandma, how can a girl be described as strong."

The old lady resolutely refused to change: "It's just strong, it doesn't look fat, but the complexion is much better."

Yang Yun threw himself into the arms of the old lady: "We eat very carefully at the Xiangjun Mansion, and we exercise every day. Now I feel full of strength and I am not afraid of being tired at all. I am also very happy at the Xiangjun Mansion. They have never The red face got into a fight."

Yang Hong refused to accept: "They also blush when they argue."

The Liu family all laughed.Huaizhen patted her son's head: "Can Hong'er recognize them?"

Yang Hong shook his head: "I have never been able to argue. Mr. Cui and the others also cannot argue against Chen Zhongyan."

"Then learn more from them, and it will be more than enough to argue with others later." The old lady said with a smile.

Both the Chen family and the Liu family prepared gifts for Yang Hong and Yang Yun to take back.Looking at the cloth, Yang Tian said with a sneer, "Is this mocking our Yang family? There isn't even a single piece of brocade, it's all Gebu bamboo cloth."

"There is still fur, which can keep out the cold." Yang Yun reminded.

Fur is expensive.

"So what? A group of dogs who look down on people." Yang Tian said bitterly.

Yang Hong frowned, feeling very uncomfortable.

This is how he came here for so many years?
"The Liu family is making fun of us, right?" Yang Tian looked at Yang Hong.

"No." Yang Hong was a little displeased.

"You spoke for the Liu family so soon? The Liu family..." She suddenly looked out the door and closed her mouth in horror.

On the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, the academy finished its last day of classes and assigned winter homework to the students.Each student is given a report card with a rating from one to five stars.Their respective works were also taken home by them.

"How many of their works are there? I don't know what the family members think." Chen Ying said with a smile.

"You will be motivated when you see the gap. Some families support a scholar with all their strength, but they don't know how well that person is studying in the academy." Chen Yue said.

"Boys have been divided into two classes, will they be divided again next year?" Chen Ya was curious.

Boys were divided into classes according to age at first. After learning for a period of time, they were taught in different levels according to their progress. Those who learned quickly went to practice calligraphy, and those who learned slowly stayed in the classroom to read and memorize and do arithmetic.

Later, those who are good at reading and arithmetic are assigned to Class A, and then Class B, Class C, and Class D.

The academy didn't send the students in Class D back home. After all, they are all well-behaved, and literacy education is still necessary.

Cui Yunlang and the others are going back, Zhang Ci and Chen Fan have prepared many gifts for them.

Kang Xucai refused all the time: "It really doesn't take so much. Our knowledge has grown so much, it would cost a lot of money to put it elsewhere. We have benefited from coming here."

"Discussing articles is friendship, and you still have to pay for doing things." Zhang Ci said.

They reluctantly and happily accepted it.

The Xiangjun Mansion distributed luxurious annual gifts to all the villagers: a teaspoon of salt for each person, about five grams; brown sugar for about five grams; and a catty of high-yield rice seeds for each person.There is no distinction between men and women in the New Year ceremony, and even the baby in the arms has a share.

The villagers were shocked again. They were instantly pleasing to the eyes when they saw the girl in the family, and they were also gentle when they saw the pregnant woman's belly.Those families who gave birth to several girls and no sons immediately hugged each other and cried.

They cried once when the fields were divided, and now they cry again.

It turns out that girls will also be missed by others, and girls will also be valuable.

The Xiangjun's mansion was cleaned up inside and out, and red envelopes and New Year gifts were distributed to those who stayed behind. Another village was sent over by ink sticks, and Xiangjian was in charge of the one in Yema Mountain.The distribution of red envelopes for the other farms is handed over to Chu Sheng and Qing Ji.

Everyone returned to Wangjiadun.The household registration is here, and they still want to come back here for the New Year.

The villagers of Wangjiadun gathered around, and Wang Lizheng said with a hearty smile: "I have met the Lord of the Township, I have met all the young masters and ladies, welcome back for the New Year."

Chen Fan asked Lizheng to send four catties of rice to each household, and the villagers cheered on the spot, with enthusiastic words of thanks popping up one after another.

Baiju cheered happily: "Mr. Xiang is back! Young masters are back! Ladies are back!" She is so lonely here.

Qin Zheng joked with a smile: "The flowers and leaves are so clean, you can't just wipe them one by one."

"That's not true. After the snow melts, everything is clean."

The children went to their companions with presents, and the servants carried things and furnished the house.

After everything was arranged here, Steward Li came to report the matter and led everyone to look around the Su Garden.Those who rented gardens for banquets gave gifts, and Butler Li placed some decorations in various places.

"What is this? It looks like a tiger and a bear." Chen Zhongliang looked at an ornament and asked curiously.

"This is Pixiu, which is called the five auspicious beasts together with dragon, phoenix, tortoise, and kylin. The one with one horn on its head is called Tianlu, and the one with two horns is called evil spirits. Pixiu accepts food from all directions and can only go in and out, which can attract wealth and treasure. .” Zhang Ci said.

"Then the business people can make a lot of money by placing them in the store?" Chen Zhongliang is very good at thinking.

"We don't have any in our store." Chen Zhongzhu said.

Zhang Ci smiled: "We don't have any in the store."

Chen Xiu stared at it for a while, then said: "The implication is pretty good, but I don't think it's harmonious in this room."

The atmosphere doesn't match.

Butler Li touched his forehead.

Chen Fan smiled: "Everyone can see it when they come to hold a banquet. It's very lively talking about who's been here and what gifts they gave. Let's put it away for this year and put it away next year."
