Red House Shoufu

Chapter 281
Thousands of households always exchange new peaches for old talismans.On New Year's Eve, the Lin Mansion became noisy the moment the morning bell rang.

After getting up, the Lin family cleaned the courtyard and the room first, and then used red paper-cuts or red cloth strips to decorate the household items to add some festiveness to the arrival of the Spring Festival.

In the arrangement of items, there are three kinds of decorations that are indispensable, that is, Spring Festival couplets, New Year pictures and statues.

The red light has been hung up, and Lin Shu is splashing ink, and one after another Spring Festival couplets are constantly being born under the pen. After Lin Lu pasted the Spring Festival couplets at the gate, a long hanging firecracker was lit.After a long time of crackling, Daiyu put down her hands covering her ears.

Lin Shu put down his pen, rubbed his hands together and asked Daiyu: "Is the guest house ready? Brother Shiying should be there in the afternoon. With his temperament, if he doesn't arrange it early, he might turn around and go to the inn to stay. "

Daiyu nodded: "I ordered someone to clean up the Qingyu Courtyard. The kang is already burning and the stove is ready. It happens to be next to Fangwu Courtyard."

Zhen Shiyin's family temporarily lived in Fangwu Courtyard, and Tang Xiong was Zhen Ailian's savior. When Tang Ying came, it would be convenient for him to communicate with Zhen's family.

As for Zhen Yinglian, Lin Shu couldn't directly say that Xue's maid, Xiang Ling, was Zhen Yinglian, so he had to wait for Xue Baochai to come to visit her home for New Year's greetings, so that Zhen Feng could meet her.The red rouge mole is so obvious that Zhen Feng, who misses his daughter, must recognize it.

"Master, the neighbors of our workshop have come to ask you for a letter."

Lin Lu walked over blissfully. It was the honor of the whole family that the head of the family was so loved by the neighbors and braved the severe cold to come to the door of the house to ask for words.Except for the royal family, no one in the capital can have such glory!
Daiyu's eyes were bent, and she arranged for people to carry the tables, chairs, pens, ink, paper and inkstones to the door, and urged Lin Shu to help the neighbors write Spring Festival couplets.

Then she carefully arranged for the servants to prepare the brazier, so that Lin Shu must not be frozen.When Lin Shu came to the gate of the mansion, no less than a hundred people had already gathered at the gate.

"Hello, bachelor!"

"Hi Liuyuan Gong!"

"Wen Kuixing has come out, his father, quickly bring Gouwa and let Wen Kuixing touch his head!"

……

Huanghuafang is next to Guozijian, and has always attached great importance to the study of imperial examinations.In addition to two or three official residences, the remaining more than 200 households are mostly ordinary people's homes.

However, there are quite a few people with fame and fame. According to Lin Lu, there are no less than 30 people with fame above the scholar level, and there are eight of them in Juren.Not to mention in the capital, even the entire Great Chu is one of the best.

Now Lin Shu, Wen Kuijun, and Liuyuan Lang appeared in the workshop. The people of Huanghuafang believed that if they could post a piece of blessing written by Liu Yuanlang at home during the New Year, their children would be able to gain fame and honor their ancestors.

The tables and chairs were placed in a place sheltered from the wind, and Lin Shu looked at more and more people, so Fangzheng negotiated that every household should be given two blessings, otherwise, if he wrote Spring Festival couplets, his hand would have to be broken.

The people who can live in Huanghuafang in Beicheng are all from well-to-do families. Everyone who receives the blessing will give the gift prepared in advance to Lin Lu who is beside him.

A few eggs from this family, a piece of bacon from that family, and a live chicken or duck were given to Lin Lu.Lin Shu just glanced at it casually, and when he wanted to stop him, Lin Lu shook his head quietly with him.

Suddenly, there was an extra piece of greased paper on the table with a bunch of candied haws on it.A small head with braids appeared next to it, shaking.

Lin Shu leaned out, and it turned out to be a little doll who often played at the door of the house.

"Tiger head, is this candied haws for me?"

Hutou is only five or six years old, his father Zhang Wu is an errand in Shuntian Mansion, and he came from the Ninth Rank Shuntian Mansion to take care of the mill.Lin Shu glanced at the crowd, and sure enough, he saw Zhang Wu looking here not far away.

Seeing that Lin Shu saw him, Zhang Wu bowed his hands in salute, and Lin Shu nodded as a gesture.Hutou licked his lips and swallowed: "My father said that I gave the candied haws to Mr. Wen Kui, and the master touched my head, so I can be a master in the future."

The crowd was amused by Hutou's childish words. Lin Shu picked up the candied haws and bit one, and handed the rest to Hutou who was about to drool.

He chewed a few mouthfuls and swallowed it, then touched Hutou's small head, and said kindly: "Hutou must remember to study hard. There are roads in the mountains of books, and diligence is the path. Learning is boundless and hard work. This reading There are no shortcuts, you must study hard and make progress every day!"

Then he wrote eight words on the red paper: study hard and make progress every day.

"Here, take it home and ask your father to post it for you in the house. Study hard, and when you pass the Jinshi exam in the future, remember to treat me to candied haws."

After Hutou took it, he patted his small chest, and said boldly: "Master Wenkui, don't worry, when I am admitted to Jinshi, I will treat you to ten bunches of candied haws!"

Hahahaha...

The crowd burst into laughter again, Hutou ran back to Zhang Wu's lap on his short legs, and Zhang Wu bowed to Shuchang Lin to express his thanks.

"Liu Yuanlang, my baby also wants to take part in the scientific examination, can I ask Liu Yuanlang to touch the top?"

"Your baby is still in your stomach, how can you let Liu Yuanlang touch it?"

The bustling crowd waited in line, chatting vigorously over and over again.From time to time, there are people chatting about nasty jokes, which are funny and happy.

Lin Shu wrote the word "Fu" without distraction, and occasionally said a few words to people he knew well.It wasn't until the last word "Fu" was written that he rubbed his wrists and stood up.

The people who had received the blessing basically did not leave. Everyone gathered around the door of the Lin Mansion, chatting about the past and the future, and seemed to be full of hope for the coming nine years of governance.

After seeing Lin Shu finished writing, they all bowed their hands and thanked Lin Shu.Lin Shu saluted back, got up and said: "Thanks to the love of all the neighbors, today I can write a few blessings for everyone to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new. This is Lin's blessing."

He pointed to the pile of eggs, bacon and other things beside him with his hand, and said with a smile: "Mr. Lin deserves everyone's kindness. Why don't you send these things to the nursing home? It's a gift from Huanghuafang to those poor people." A little warmth, what do you think?"

"Liu Yuanlang is well said!"

"What Wen Kui-jun says, I will do as I wait!"

"Then I'll go get the steamed bun again, how can such a small amount be enough?"

……

Fangzheng of Huanghuafang cupped his hands and said: "I admire the benevolence and kindness of scholars. It's better if each family has surplus food, take some more and send them together. Although it's a drop in the bucket, it can always help a few people."

Lin Shu didn't stop these people's actions, turned around and asked Lin Lu a few words, then pressed his hands and said: "Only when the Holy King is alive, can we have a stable life. Today, on New Year's Eve, we will raise food and money in the name of thanking Shengen." Cloth, send it to the nursing home. The Lin family will send 5000 taels of silver, food and meat, etc., and send it to the nursing home with the neighbors!"

"Okay! I'll go together later, Bu Renshan thank you for your grace!"

……

Crackling, crackling...

A pair of big Spring Festival couplets are pasted on the door of Huanghuafang: "Love connects with charity children to moisten the rain and dew, change the old appearance of thousands of families; thank Shengen in Huanghua neighborhood, and enjoy Chunhui for thousands of miles."
