Chapter 577 Worship (2)
The three thanked each other beamingly, and got busy again.

Lu Mingxuan saw that several people were very busy, but they had their own way, and she was getting in the way, so she brought Danqing Danbi back to the main room.

Since the first snow fell in mid-November, the capital has experienced four or five heavy snowfalls intermittently. Now this snow started to fall on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month. It has been three days and three nights since now, and the chill has naturally become stronger. As a result, Lu Mingxuan felt the cold was unbearable as it was only a short distance of tens of feet from the kitchen back to the main room.

Danqing had served her for several years, knowing that she was afraid of the cold, he put a hot hand stove into her hand as soon as he returned to the room, and hurriedly made a cup of tea.

Lu Mingxuan drank half of it slowly, feeling warmer on her body, and stood by the window with a hand warmer wrapped around her. Looking at the heavy snow falling from the sky, she sighed: "It's really beautiful to be covered in silver all over the place this day. It’s beautiful, but it’s unbearably cold, and all the flowers and trees are covered by heavy snow, even the plum blossoms and pines and cypresses, all of which are bare at first glance, except that they are white, no matter how beautiful they are after a long time, they will not be beautiful.”

"Madam thinks the view is not good. We can cut some window grilles and stick them on the windows. Isn't it colorful and colorful?" Danbi interjected with a smile, "I remember my mother used to Every Chinese New Year, I have to cut all kinds of window grilles. Although I am clumsy, I have also learned a lot of tricks, but it is a pity..." Before I finished speaking, my face was already sad.

Lu Mingxuan remembered that the reason why she came to Beijing with Ling Mengqi at the beginning was because her relatives were gone. Knowing that she was hurt by the scene, she hurriedly smiled and said: "This is a good idea. I will also have some, but not many Maybe there are not as many tricks as you know, why don't you teach us, cut more and paste them everywhere, and it will be more festive to look at."

Fortunately, Danbi has never had a sad temperament, and after serving Lu Mingxuan for the past two years, she also knows some rules, knowing that it is absolutely impossible for a slave to touch the master's misfortune on such a happy day, so she just took care of it. He cheered up, and said with a smile: "Then I'll go get all kinds of paper, scissors, and gold and silver tinfoil." After speaking, he ran away.

After a while, Lu Mingxuan really came back with a lot of things, and then Lu Mingxuan called Xia He and Caizan to come. The five masters and servants were all very interested, but the level was uneven, and Danbi did the best cutting, so temporarily I became everyone's master, pointing this and that from time to time, and soon everyone got started.

After more than an hour, there were a lot of brightly colored window grilles on the table, such as "Magpies Climbing Plum Blossoms", "Two Dragons Playing with Pearls", "Peacocks Spreading Their Tails", "Tiannv Scattering Flowers", "Two Immortals in Harmony" , "Three Friends of Suihan"... everything you need, it's really beautiful.

Lu Mingxuan looked at them one by one, and the more she looked at them, the more she fell in love with them. She was busy and ordered someone to go to the kitchen to make rice milk. She personally led Danqing and the others to paste up the windows of the main room. Sure enough, it instantly added color to the entire main courtyard. Not a lot.

As a result, when Ling Mengqi came back in the afternoon, he thought he was dazzled at first glance. It's winter, where did the red flowers and green grass come from on the window sill?
When he got closer, he realized that it was the window grilles, and he could vaguely hear bursts of laughter coming from the room. Ling Mengqi's heart suddenly became warm. What he had always dreamed of, wasn't this kind of thing? Plain but meaningful happiness, this kind of warmth of being able to celebrate the new year with the one you love?
With a smile on his face unconsciously, he strode into the room: "What are you master and servant talking about, so happy?"

When everyone saw him coming back, they hurriedly smiled and bowed their knees to salute, and then filed out. Lu Mingxuan stepped forward to help him untie his cloak, and said with a smile, "When I had lunch and had nothing to do, I cut with Danqing and the others for a while. The window grilles aroused everyone's interest, and they all begged me to cut them again during the Lantern Festival."

Ling Mengqi smiled and nodded: "If you like it, you can cut it every day, so when I come back, I can see the red flowers and green grass from a distance. I'm still wondering where the red flowers and green grass come from. This snow can't be said. It won't melt until February, and it will be more colorful, and people will be more happy when looking at it."

The husband and wife were talking about homework, Danqing and Danbi brought hot water, so Lu Mingxuan personally helped Ling Mengqi to wash up, changed into homely clothes, and it was time to hand in the application.

Lu Mingxuan ordered everyone to gather together, and she and Ling Mengqi sat at the head. After receiving everyone's gifts, she immediately ordered the tiger to spread out the rewards. A basket full of rewards was ordered by Lu Mingxuan in advance. The brand-new clear money exchanged by people is nearly 200 taels in total, and it is only about three taels to each person, which is not too much.

But what is rare is that the lottery is good, everyone's face is full of joy, before accepting the reward money, they thanked Ling Mengqi and Lu Mingxuan: "Thank you for the reward, sir, and thank you for the reward, madam." After receiving the reward, thank you again.

Huzi saw it in his eyes, and couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. He has been with the young master for so many years, and this year is the most lively and comfortable one. Sure enough, it is different after having a wife, and the house is finally gone. It's just a house, but a home. I just don't know how soon I can have my own little home and live the same happy life as the young master?Maybe, after a few days, I will ask Sister Danqing's intentions with a shy face, and then I will ask the young master and wife to make decisions for me?

As soon as the reward money was over, Nanny Duan began to lead the people to set up the New Year's Eve dinner. A total of five tables were opened. Ling Mengqi and Lu Mingxuan set up a table in the inner room, and Hu Zi led the men in the back seat of the main room Two tables were set up in the hall, and Nanny Duan Danqing led the female relatives to set up two tables in the flower hall.

Everyone was a bit reluctant at first, but later not only Lu Mingxuan told everyone to 'just open up', but even Ling Mengqi also said the same thing, everyone gradually let go, eating and drinking, talking and laughing, In the end, they even played drumming and passing flowers. Whoever gets the flowers when the drums stop will perform a show. After a while, some people will sing little songs and tell jokes, which attracts endless applause from others. lively.

When Lu Mingxuan heard it in the inner room, she couldn't help laughing and said to Ling Mengqi: "I really didn't know that Mrs. Liu was so good at telling jokes, Apple and Xiaoxiu sang so well, it seems that our family is full of talents. I don't know if you are used to it or not, if you think they are noisy, if you think they are noisy, I will let them continue in the wing room."

"Why, it's too late for me to like this kind of excitement." Ling Mengqi shook his head with a smile, then shook Lu Mingxuan's hand and put it to his lips: "Xuanxuan, thank you for allowing me to taste an unprecedented feeling of happiness. For a moment, I really wish I could let time stay at this moment forever, I wish I could let the whole world know what a wonderful wife I married and how happy I am!"

Lu Mingxuan was a little embarrassed by what he said, but more sweetly, she said softly, "I'm not as good as you said."

The couple got bored for a while, seeing that it was still very lively outside, Ling Mengqi whispered to Lu Mingxuan about the business: "I have already agreed with His Royal Highness Duan Wang and Shi Ziye that Princess Duan and Shi Zi's wife will take care of you more tomorrow. I have already greeted Commander Cao and Deputy Commander Gao, and asked Mrs. Cao and Mrs. Gao to take care of you. Besides, I have placed another man in the palace. If you see anything wrong, you will set it on fire. The next time I give you that kind of signal flare, the person I planted will come to you immediately, don’t worry, I will let you go in and come out safely.”
