Splendid Pastoral Wife

Chapter 120 Buying New Year's goods, a plague occurs (5)
After the completion of this matter, it has already entered the twentieth of the twelfth lunar month. Tian Liusu was waiting at home for news of the sale of Wenxi's Poria cocos paste, while leading Xue Ling and An Anlele to prepare for the New Year every day.

The 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month is a folk ceremony for offering sacrifices to stoves. Legend has it that the Stove Lord is the god who is in charge of managing the stoves of each family. Will ride up to heaven to report to the Emperor of Heaven the good and evil of the family in the past year, and the Emperor of Heaven will decide the good and bad fortune of the family in the coming year according to the report of the Stove Lord. Since the report of the Stove Lord is very important, a Worship ceremony, commonly known as Jizao.

At dusk, candy, melon seeds, dried meat, dumplings and other foods are placed on the table as tributes, praying for the safety of the whole family.

On the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, the year of chaos, the kitchen god will not come back until New Year's Eve. During this period, there is no god's jurisdiction and no taboos, so this is a good time to adjust your life.

On this day, Tian Liusu ground millet into noodles, steamed soft cakes in a pan, and then fried a pot of ointment, as well as some sweet potato fries and lean meat balls.

On the 27th and 28th of the twelfth lunar month, take a bath. During these two days, you need to concentrate on bathing and washing to get rid of the bad smell of the year and prepare for the new year in the coming year.

27 On this day, Tian Liusu and Xue Ling boiled two large pots of boiling water, used soap to wash all the clothes, shoes and socks worn by themselves and their two children, and bathed Xue Linghu, so that his wounds could not be touched. Tian Liusu wrapped its tail in an oilcloth and let An An carry it. She and Lele put it in the bathtub and bathed it.

On the 28th day, the two boiled a large pot of boiling water for bathing themselves and their children.

Early in the morning, there was a sound of shouting and shouting outside the door. Tian Liusu was overjoyed, and hurried out to have a look, only to see a group of carriages coming outside, loaded with poria cocos, shopkeeper Zhu and Ah Fu were directing the people Unloading the truck, Wenxi was dressed in brocade, standing in the yard as indifferently as jade, holding an exquisite box in his hand.

Tian Liusu was puzzled, and guessed in his heart, now that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, could it be that Wenxi has sent her New Year's goods?If this is the case, then what he gave must be something extremely good, well, Wenxi's product must be a high-quality item.

She asked Xue Ling to help the two children take a bath first, and she greeted them out.

"Susu, I finally made it back before the Chinese New Year." Wenxi was meticulous at all times, even if he led the convoy on a trek, he didn't look busy.

"Have you checked the accounts everywhere?"

"It's over early, Susu, I have some good news for you." Wen Xi said with surprise in his eyes.

"Wait, let me guess, Poria cocos paste is selling well?" Tian Liusu blinked and looked at Wenxi excitedly and expectantly after speaking.

"Well, it's an unexpected hit, and the things made by Tufangzi are authentic."

"Really, in fact, the recipe is not earthy, why do you have to label it as earthy?"

After Tian Liusu finished speaking, he pointed to the box in his hand and asked, "What is this?"

"Open it yourself." Wenxi said and handed the box to her, pointing at the box with her long and slender fingers.

After hearing what he said, Tian Liusu already had a guess in his heart, he stretched out his hand and slowly opened the exquisitely crafted box about a foot wide, and as the lid was slowly lifted, a silver light burst out instantly, piercing One can hardly keep one's eyes open.

Inside the box lay a box full of shining white silver ingots, spread out vividly in front of her eyes, instantly fascinated people's eyes.

"Wow, so many?" Tian Liusu fixed her eyes on the box of silver ingots, as if she was afraid that if she didn't pay attention to it, it would fly by itself. In the previous TV series, when the landlord Laocai got the silver, he couldn't help putting the silver in his mouth and biting hard.

With a "bang", she almost knocked out her teeth, and she cried out in pain, "Oh, it's really real money."

Wenxi couldn't help shaking her head when she saw her money-lovers, and said, "Susu, you are questioning my character, how could I fool you with fake money?"

"Ah, that's not what I mean, what I mean is... the first time I saw so much silver, I couldn't believe it. Don't mind."

"I know, this is a share of 2000 taels of silver in total, and I'll exchange it all for you. I know you don't like silver bills, you like this kind of real thing."

"Yes, I really like real money. That silver ticket is so light and insecure." Tian Liusu said happily, still holding the box of silver.

"Well, Susu, how are you feeling these few days? Have you remembered whose daughter you are?" Wenxi changed her voice and asked her about her memory.

Tian Liusu frowned. When Wenxi mentioned this topic, she seemed to recall something in her mind. It seemed to be her childhood, but it was not a memory of her previous life, but a child in rags. In a dilapidated courtyard, there was a loud cry for help, and a woman with a shiny black hair was poking her body with a silver needle in her hand.

"Ah..." As if she was on the scene, she suddenly felt pain like being pricked by a needle, and the blood in the capillaries everywhere was surging. She shook her head, and the box in her hand fell to the ground with a "bang". He covered his head and raised his head to the sky, screaming loudly.

"Susu..." Wenxi quickly picked up the box on the ground and covered it, then stretched out his fingers, a silver needle dangling between his fingers, he grabbed her arm and stabbed the silver needle at the Shenmen acupoint, Tian Liusu The turbulent emotions were slowly calmed down immediately, she was gasping for breath, and her body was weak, Wenxi pulled her over and leaned her into his arms, then reached into her lap and hugged her into her arms. in the house.

The two children in the room were taking a bath. Seeing that Tian Liusu was ill again, they suddenly became nervous again. Fortunately, Tian Liusu did not faint this time, which meant that the detoxification pill had already worked, and she just remembered some fragments. It's just that I can't bear it for a while and I'm weak.

"Mother, mother, are you okay again?" An'an and Lele quickly took a shower, put on their clothes and ran to the kang, looking at Tian Liusu lying on the kang, shouting nervously.

"It's okay, mother is just a little tired, she needs to rest, and she won't vomit blood or faint like before." Tian Liusu thought of the time when Li Er stripped all the sweet potato seedlings for the first time when he worked hard for dozens of days. The scene seems to have passed for a long time.

"Where's the silver? Just dropped all the silver on the ground, go out and get it back for me." Tian Liusu seemed to have dropped the silver on the ground thinking of what happened just now.

"Here it is." Wenxi took out the box from the side of the kang and handed it to her.
