The wife of a woman collecting herbs cannot be bullied

Chapter 572

Shi Chuying didn't let them go back empty-handed. There were no fish, shrimps and crabs in the inland Zhuangzi, so someone picked up a few barrels for them to fill. When they went back to celebrate the New Year, they added some vegetables. They dug a few lotus roots and added five taels of silver to each person, which was regarded as a red envelope. , others are taken to the street for shopping, and you can find what you like to buy...

Shi Chuying and her family's New Year's ceremony this year is out of the usual way, because these things are not dared to sell new colors in shops now, and there is really nothing good, so they changed to lotus root and fish and shrimp.

These things are all from their pond. Because of the white lotus and yellow lotus planted, the fish, shrimp and crabs here are very fat, and the taste is particularly delicious. They are welcome everywhere.But not everyone can get it.

The New Year gifts in the distance were loaded and sent out, and Li San and others went to Lianhua Mountain to inspect the industry and came back. At least they brought back more than 3000 taels of income, including two 'Xiaobai'.

Shi Chuying only took out the bank notes of the two of them, and asked Master Li to bring them there, and she didn't have to worry about whether they saved it or spent it.

On the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month, the sage announced that he would close his pen. From this day until the twentieth day of the first lunar month, for a whole month, the officials in the court did not have to go to work, the students did not have to attend classes, and all walks of life began to welcome the arrival of the New Year.

Dachu finally ushered in the first heavy snow this winter.

"This year's Chinese New Year happens to be during the guarding period. The whole country can't see celebrities, can't entertain, and can't set off fireworks and firecrackers. Just light the lamps, and nothing else." Chu Xu discussed the New Year with Shi Chuying.

"Ice lanterns are still poured. As long as they don't make colored ones. It's not taboo to light up anyway." It's dark even if it's not the New Year.When Shi Chuying thought that her son would have a hundred days in the first month, she couldn't help but make calculations in her heart.

"Tell me, do we need to postpone Brother Zhao's daytime banquet for a few days?" If you say that this saint is also unpleasant, you will not be able to do it someday. The day is so close, it is not for others Is it a hundred days to add congestion? !
Shi Chuying felt upset when she thought of this, so she didn't care much about these vain rituals of the saint.

Of course Chu Xu understood that Yingying's narrow-mindedness had committed another mistake, and said with a smile, "You're still angry! We are doing well. There are two birthdays in our camp, and they are much worse than us."

"Huh? This is really..." Sure enough, there is a comparison to understand, and Shi Chuying is much more comfortable now.

"I have one thing on my mind these days, one thing on the other, it's so trivial, I really want to take my son back to the mountains, how easy and comfortable it is..." Shi Chuying kissed her son's sleeping face remember.

Chu Xu smiled and said: "If you have a son, you don't want your son and his father? You two left together, can I bask in the moon alone here? Don't be angry, you will be fine tomorrow, I will take you two to the street Going around can always make you happy."

"That's great. I'm just about to pick some materials. After the guarding system is over, it's time to make clothes for the family." The master of their house didn't make new clothes for the New Year, and only changed the winter clothes they had prepared for plain white ones. For the sake of face, the servants have made two low-key new clothes.

That being said, I don’t know how boring it is until I’m on the street. The shops in the entire Dongshi Street are still used goods. When asked about new designs, no matter if it’s the shopkeeper or the clerk, they only let them come after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month...

It doesn't matter that other shops are like this, even Dongshi Street is like this, this year is destined to be dull.

However, each family has its own affairs, and no one can really stop the pace of life and mourn for a certain person.

On this day, Mrs. Zhou from the old house visited again with her little daughter.

Shi Chuying welcomed him into the West Flower Hall to entertain guests, without him, Chu Xu was still at home.

"My brother and sister are always warmer here than ours." Zhou's girl untied her cloak, and she took off her younger daughter's cloak with her own hands, and the girls stepped forward to take it.

"Hello, Auntie!" Sister Ning saluted Shi Chuying earnestly, her little face flushed from the cold was still stiff, and she had a strange expression when she spoke.

Shi Chuying touched her little face, "Ah, why is it so cold?" Then she went to shake Sister Ning'er's little hand, which was fortunately warm.

"Isn't there a carbon basin in the car?" Shi Chuying couldn't help but cast a glance at Mrs. Zhou, and carried Sister Ning onto the kang, and asked the girl to take off her little boots, and sat on the hot kang to keep warm.

"Release, but this year the amount of carbon in the mansion is limited again. I have a lot of children here, and I'm afraid of freezing at night, so I burn more, and naturally there will be less during the day."

Shi Chuying raised her eyebrows, is this the beginning again?

Zhou Shi glanced at Shi Chuying with a smile, and sat down on the kang to keep warm.

Yulu brought hot tea and fruit juice, as well as snacks and candies, obviously for Sister Ning.

Mrs. Zhou helped her daughter get a cup of hot peach juice, watched her drink half of the cup in small sips, and took a few sips of hot tea herself.
