The wife of a woman collecting herbs cannot be bullied

Chapter 237

"...The elders won't come. This is also a practice for many years. The main reason is that our house does not have corresponding elders to entertain them. They don't bother to waste time with us. If you have time, you can arrange to go to another house." Chu Xu said.However, it's hard to say whether elders like aunts and aunts will come and sit down...

It is also important to know which one to eat New Year's wine. Of course, the more important people should go first. Otherwise, they will not go or just leave after drinking a drink.Families with a quiet year of wine are generally those with no foundation. On the contrary, the families of high-ranking officials and dignitaries always have long queues of cars and horses in front of their doors.

However, in addition to married and unmarried men, married girls and sons-in-law in each house and family, those who are in Beijing have to invite them once.Moreover, daughters who are married at the time of confession do not return home to participate, and New Year's Wine is a rare and good opportunity to meet, but those who are willing to meet can continue to communicate in the future.

Chu Xu’s colleagues are familiar with him because they have been invited once. Needless to say, there are only a few who fill in the gaps and fill in the gaps. Counting them, there are more than five or ten people. .

Shi Chuying and Chu Xu looked at the dates and set the annual wine on the sixth day and the 11th day of the first lunar month. Chu Xu copied his hand and wrote posts from his colleagues. It's too much.

It was the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month when the posts were sent out one by one, and it was almost the day when the imperial court usually sealed the holidays, but this year there was no news of the seal.

In fact, due to the two major events of bandits and heavy snow blocking roads in recent years, the seal of the imperial court has been delayed for several days this year, and the official announcement of the seal has arrived on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month.

The seals of the imperial court began to be amplified, and the seals would not be opened until the twentieth of the first month. Moreover, if there is no mistake, when the seals are opened, there should be new movements in the bandit suppression that has been brewing so far.

Of course, these are things to follow.

In addition to these things, Shi Chuying and Chu Xu also have another big event, which is the New Year's election ceremony!
Gifts for the old man and the old lady during the Chinese New Year, gifts for the elders in each house, gifts for the courtyards below each house, and even children's gifts; Give it away, those who have never received it, give it what should be given away.

Fortunately, the stewards of the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard have already started working on these matters. As long as Shi Chuying and Chu Xu have nothing special to add to these matters, they have drawn up the list and prepared the items.

Since it was the first time for the two of them this year, they were a little too tired, so they simply closed their eyes and covered it up. Anyway, Aunt Yue and the stewards of the outer court were capable, and they didn't have any important people here, so they almost passed.There were only a few, and Chu Xu thought about it and changed things.

In a blink of an eye, it's the 23rd lunar month festival.

This day is mainly for tossing men, the so-called: men do not worship the moon, women do not worship the stove.It was the first time for Chu Xu to be the head of a household, and even the winter solstice was followed by the main branch of the main branch. This time it was his first time as the male master to officiate, so he was still very careful.

In the big kitchen of the mansion, there is a shrine dedicated to Grandpa Stove King, which enshrines the portrait of Grandpa Stove King. It seems that after a year of smoke and fire, it is no longer what it looks like. Chu Xu worshiped and took off the portrait. I personally stick the prepared candied melon on the mouth of the Stove Lord in the portrait, and burn the grass horse tied by the cook together with it, in the meaning of "God says good things, and the world brings good luck".Just waiting for the New Year's Eve to post a new portrait of the Stove Lord.

In this day without the supervision of the Stove Lord, people can also let go of their stomachs and eat Hesai for a while, not afraid of being blamed by the gods.

From this day on, all parts of Dachu officially entered the rhythm of Chinese New Year.

It was also on this day that the imperial court officially announced the 26th seal.

But the imperial court is so busy, which of the people below will not be free as the year approaches?The days that should have been let go, but now there is actually not much to do if you don't let go.

In the past two days, Chu Xu went to the camp every day to order something and then went back. Except for walking around with his friends occasionally, the rest of the time was spent on 'strengthening troops'.

It’s not an exaggeration to say that, apart from seeing the sky brushing his horse, staring at people feeding the fodder, and rubbing his Moon Inviting Sword every day, he cherishes it very much.

Shi Chuying finally couldn't help it and said: "I think that suppressing bandits is actually a group fight, and a machete should be more suitable; a sword should be suitable for a one-on-one fight, at most a pair of three or five people, no more than that;

If I were you, hurry up and choose a big knife while the weapon shop is still open, that guy is heavy and powerful, and it will be as easy to use as beheading and cutting melons; you take a sword and face a group of swarms , The bandit holding a big knife feels a little weird! "Suppressing bandits is not about being handsome, it's about being practical.

Chu Xu snorted and looked over. Shi Chuying said this, and he also felt a little weird, but he had never used a machete or anything.

"Cough! Sword skills are different from sword skills. If you insist on using sword skills to use knife skills, it will be nondescript and awkward. It's better to be like this!" It seems that it is too late for him to change now, Chu Xu stroked his chin and thought for a while Fan.

"You polish it every day. The Yaoyue Sword is also made of two or three ounces of fine steel. You don't think about going to the weapon shop to upgrade it?" Shi Chuying curled her lips, this person is so stupid.

"Upgrade? How to upgrade?" Chu Xu heard this word for the first time, and he didn't understand it for a while.

"How simple. There is nothing in the capital. You go to the weapon shop and ask them to add some fine steel to forge it again. It will always be better than the original material and retain your original sword spirit. Isn't it equivalent to an upgrade?" Shi Chuying rolled his eyes at him directly, and said to himself, his school is not very good, is it?It's not that she looks down on it, but it's too much to not even know about it.

Chu Xu frowned when he heard this, and then abandoned Yaoyue and rubbed his chin to think for a long time, it seems that this is really the case.

He got up suddenly and yelled: "Good wife, thank you, brother has something to go out..." Yaoyue whirlwind who was holding him disappeared...

This man...
