Liu An Hua Ming You Yi Village

Chapter 196

The New Year's goods are basically complete.

Du Yu gave something to the people from the other courtyard of the Chu family. Although the people from the Chu family were not in the capital, this courtyard gave them a stable life for a long time. They are very good.

After they moved to their own house, Second Sister Chu brought people over to congratulate them.

They also gave them green vegetables grown by themselves in the greenhouse. It is really rare to eat these green vegetables in winter.

Du Yu also discussed it with his eldest cousin. If he has money on hand next year, he can ask people to build a few greenhouses on his farm, grow some vegetables, and sell them in winter, so he can make more money. It's gone, otherwise there will be nothing to do throughout the winter, and it will be wasted in vain.

Hu Xin thought it was a good idea, but he didn't want Du Yu to worry about it. He would handle it.

No matter how tight the money was, Du Yu also made a suit of clothes for each of the servants in the family.

For those who celebrate the New Year, wearing new clothes is the New Year.

Because I moved here in a hurry and I didn't have time, so I asked the clothing store to come to measure the size and send it out after it was done.

She herself had a lot of materials on hand, so she paid the tailor's wages, and the new clothes came into her hands.

The Hanlin Academy over there is also about to close on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month.

Before leaving, one of them, Wang Hanlin, asked Hu Xin if he had found the house now and if anyone would bother him again.

Hu Xin hurriedly said: "Thank you for your relationship, sir. The house has been found, and no one troubles me. If you have time after the Chinese New Year, sir, I will invite you to my house. My wife has nothing else. Not bad."

Of course you have to be more modest outside, so Hu Xin only said that his cousin's cooking skills are not bad.

Wang Hanlin himself is a food lover. Hearing what Hu Xin said, he smiled and said, "Okay, after the Chinese New Year, I'll eat there."

For Wang Hanlin's concern, Kang Yuanxing said to Hu Xin: "Mr. Wang is really kind to us people. I figured out about your house. He asked someone about it."

The Imperial Academy knew about this matter, and Hu Xin was still a member of the Imperial Academy, so he was bullied like this, and the top and bottom of the Imperial Academy didn't say anything, so he could come out with this tone, although he wouldn't look for it in the open Troublesome, but still made a stumbling block secretly.

Didn't that person say that he has something to do with Prince Jing's Mansion?
You must know that after the Shu Jishi of the Imperial Academy was dismissed for three years, there were many censors. I filed a lawsuit, anyway, the people in King Jing's Mansion are not so well-behaved.

People from Prince Jing's Mansion were accused, and were scolded by the Holy One. You can imagine King Jing's mood, and finally inquired about it because he offended people from the Imperial Academy.

And it was because of a son's concubine, so his concubine was severely punished. Of course, the Mi family had to be disciplined too. The old master of the Mi family could only keep silent. Let them be merchants?
Others are just princes with no real power, so they can scold him casually.So Master Mi is even more dissatisfied with his wife, Mrs. Mi.

"The king of Jing is just an idle clan, and he is not close to the current emperor. Since Wang Hanlin can make a qualified head for you, we will not be afraid of him." Kang Yuanxing said.

For this kind of behavior of accepting the daughter of a merchant's family for money, they, the members of the Hanlin Academy, especially look down on it.

You know, what happened this time severely slapped the Imperial Academy in the face.In particular, everyone knows that Hu Xin was hated by the Mi family because he did not accept the money and women of the Mi family. This kind of character is appreciated by all the officials of the Imperial Academy, so it is not unexpected to stand up for Hu Xin .

Hu Xin said: "It's all about your love for me."

Kang Yuanxing said: "That's why you deserve them to do this." For others, if they accepted the benefits of the Mi family, people like Wang Hanlin might despise them in their hearts.

In short, don't underestimate the people of the Imperial Academy, the academicians of the Imperial Academy are still the emperor's close ministers, and they can see the emperor's face more than King Jing.

Du Yu didn't know about this matter, but it was a good thing that the Mi family didn't bother them anymore.

One day before the Chinese New Year, Hu Xin and Du Yu invited all his contemporaries in the Imperial Academy and others.

It was the first time for Du Yu to handle this matter alone, and she didn't make any mistakes. She is still very proficient in eating, so although she didn't hire a troupe like Mrs. Kang, she was also appreciated by everyone.

Everything is gradually familiar, and everything is difficult at the beginning. Du Yu hosted such a banquet once, and felt that it would not be a problem to hold it in the future.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Although it is not the first time for her and her eldest cousin to celebrate the New Year outside, it is the first time in the true sense that they are celebrating the New Year in their own small home.

Although there were only the two masters, there were eight or nine servants, and the servants were rewarded with two tables of wine, one table for each male and female, and Du Yu and the eldest cousin were at the top table. After the dishes were served, no one was served. They all sat down to eat together, including Mrs. Yao and others in the kitchen.

Sometimes, having fewer employees has the advantage of having fewer employees. When there are more people gradually in the future, it will be divided into shifts, and it is impossible for them all to sit together.

After the banquet, everyone stayed in the same room to watch the New Year. This year, it went smoothly. Although there was such an episode later, the result was good.

If it wasn't for the lack of people, she would definitely have gotten into a fight with them.

This horse crane was played by someone in Kang's family last time. Du Yu took a look around and found that the rules of mahjong are similar to those of the current mahjong.That is the ancient mahjong.

The women in the inner house are bored, and it is also a good pastime to play horses and hangers to waste time.

In some families, the elders like to play, and they can also let the maids play with them, that is a complete joy.After all, they have become old ladies, and they can enjoy family happiness every day without having to be a housekeeper.

I kept watching until midnight, and I kept thinking of the firecrackers outside, and the people who set off fireworks, which lit up the night sky. It is said that there will be salutes and fireworks at the Duanyang Gate. The capital is different from other places.

They also set off firecrackers and fireworks here, and Du Yu and his cousin could see clearly when they were sitting in the room.

After a while, the air was filled with the smell of firecrackers.

The little girl has already gone out to watch the excitement.

After all, I was still young, and I didn't say that I missed my loved ones at this time.Now her family is really divided into three places, one is with her father, one is with her elder brother, and the other is Xiaoya herself, who followed to the capital.

Because Hu Xin has not been formally conferred an official yet, he is officially conferred, and his grade is not up to the mark, and he is not qualified to go to the court on the first day of the first lunar month to congratulate the emperor on the new year.

So on the morning of the first day of the first lunar month, they first went to pay New Year's greetings to Hu Xin and the concubines who were in the Imperial Academy, and then went to Grandma Huang's place.

Although Grandma Huang's mother-in-law is a bit outrageous, Grandma Huang and Uncle Huang are both good.

The friendship between the two is also deeper than before.

When they got there, Grandma Huang left Du Yu and the others for lunch.

Grandma Huang is familiar with Du Yu, so she has a lot to say to Du Yu.

Especially on the first day of the first lunar month, their Huang family had to pay New Year's greetings to Dafang from all ethnic groups.

Isn't it because the Huang family has no titles, so everyone is basically in the same situation, but, "Oh, I don't have the titles anymore, and I still want to live the same life as before, why can't I think about it so much?" Grandma Huang said with emotion .

Since the age of 31, she has experienced various unsatisfactory things. Like her mother-in-law, she likes to pay attention to ostentation.

But this ostentation has to be piled up with money.

Moreover, the most terrible thing is her mother-in-law. During the New Year's Eve dinner, she ate sea cucumbers made by Dafang over there. She didn't know if it was for show or something. Grandma Huang's mother-in-law said directly that this sea cucumber is not as good as Their home is good.

With just this sentence, it was like stabbing a hornet's nest, and Grandma Huang's face turned green at that time.

There were also a lot of people in the big room, so they immediately came over and asked Grandma Huang's mother-in-law.Mainly, how did they get such good sea cucumbers.

And Mrs. Chu, who stabbed the hornet's nest, was very proud of seeing the envious and jealous eyes of others. She actually agreed to it when others asked for it.

Grandma Huang was annoyed. Although it's hard to say this because of the New Year's Eve, she felt aggrieved.

"You gave it to us with good intentions, but who knows that it disappeared like this. It's all my fault, just don't let her see it." Grandma Huang said.

After hearing this, Du Yu hurriedly said: "You don't have to blame yourself, what does this have to do with you? Besides, after the things are delivered, they are yours. What you do with them is your own business. I still have some. When I go back, I'll send someone to bring you another bag."

Grandma Huang hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Don't, as much as you give, you won't have much. Don't give it away in the future, and you will disappoint your heart." My mother-in-law has been shown off, and their family's current situation is not satisfactory, okay?

But the mother-in-law likes to show off everywhere, slapping her swollen face to pretend to be fat, making her teeth itchy with hatred. Last time her husband said that she would not be allowed to come out to meet guests,
But the New Year's Eve can't help but let her go to the big room for a reunion dinner. Who knows, there will be problems after eating.

She didn't even ask herself what was the use of the things that Grandma Hu sent over, so she just gave it away.

It's also because she shouldn't be filial to her mother-in-law. She thought the sea cucumber was a good thing, so she asked the kitchen to make it for her. She just remembered it and showed it off on that occasion.

It's terrible!How could she have such a mother-in-law?
