The hilarious New Year's Eve passed, and when the sky lit up again, those who hadn't slept all night also saved the things of each family's New Year greetings. They gathered together last night and worshipped each other, and the New Year's money that should be given was also given up.
There are also a lot of candies and other things issued by Zhang’s family, which were given to the children on the Zhuangzi. This saved the children the money for buying candies. Each little kid was given 500-ring firecrackers, which was still a small bundle. Fragrant, leave it for them to take apart.
Everyone went back to their homes and put the house here for now. It will be used again after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, which is the eve of the new year. Li Xun also took the people away and went back to Zhuangzi. An appointment was made when he left. The sky is still here.
The old man who is still a good book never feels tired all night. Perhaps it is caused by the constant appearance of the show, especially the crosstalk and sketches interspersed in the song and dance show, which makes people laugh when he is sleepy. It was gone.
The manager Wang asked the old man to arrange for someone to send it away at dawn. After Li Xun told her not to say the wrong thing, she really didn’t say a word. She sat there, thinking about things except eating, maybe What happened today had a big impact on her.
She also saw the enthusiasm of the people in the inner courtyard of Zhang Wang's family that they didn't need to take care of them at all, they were rushing to do their jobs, and their faces were always beaming.
Looking at the clothes they were wearing, the hairpins on their heads, their fair skin, and the way they talked, it was unexpected that they were the subordinates on the Zhuangzi.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan went back home and fell asleep. The two of them were also tired. Butler Zhang came to ask when he had something to do. They had to take care of every family member, pick up vegetables, talk about things that made the family happy, and perform two more times. A little show or something, after tossing down, the child's body finally couldn't hold it.
Dazao and Xiaozao did not feel sleepy at all. The two of them have been in excitement. Not only did they take revenge on Guan Shi, but they also followed Qiao Niangzi to do things here, slapped them, and said a few words of relief. In the eyes of both of them, it was the best revenge.
Qiuju yawned and led the two to the yard, arranged a room in the yard where their servants lived, and took them to the storeroom to pick up things, three clothes and shoes from inside to outside. There are also two sets of bedding and pillows, as well as tools for washing up.
They didn't have any money, so the master gave a silver hairpin and changed it when they had money and wanted to use it well, but this was already very good for both of them.
Hand oil and some gadgets for daily maintenance, as well as some handicrafts for decorating the room.
When Qiu Ju proposed some Four Treasures of Study for the two again, the two of them blinked their eyes and asked, "Is it a mistake? This thing should be used by the Patriarch and Young Master?"
"Yes, the master and the young man use better than ours. We use the medium ones. They are all collected from other sources. They are cheap. They are still used when we advertised in Shuiyunjian last time. They have been useless. , It seems that you are illiterate, and you have to learn in the future. To do things in the yard, you must at least know the characters, be able to write characters, and be able to keep accounts.
Zhangjiazhuang’s inner courtyard may be sent out to do things in the future. If you don’t know anything, how can you let you go out? In addition to learning these, there are other things to learn. Don't worry, you have time to learn, especially during the night watch.
There is not much work in the yard, so we should hurry up when we have time. A master was specially invited to teach us in the yard. If we don’t understand, ask the master. If the master can’t answer, ask the housekeeper, master, and wife.
If the housekeeper, the master, and the lady are also unable to answer, it means that the question you are asking is something else. You can ask the little son and the little lady. Basically, the problem is not a problem. "
Qiuju told Dazao and Xiaozao. The more they listened, the more surprised they were, and the more they heard, the happier they were. Many times they dreamed that they could learn to read, but when they woke up, they lived the same life. Now the two of them feel that they are themselves. It's dreaming, but too many dreams make you scared.
"Let’s go, don’t stand here in a daze. Rest first, and I will go back to sleep for a while. I will have to do things after I get up at noon. The rest is rotated during the New Year. Those who slept early last night have to get up and do things now."
Qiuju can understand the performance of the two people at the time. Not many people can let the maids learn this. It is not necessary, unless it is the close maids of some little ladies. But everyone in the Zhang family's family has to learn, whether they want to learn it or not no.
Dazao and Xiaozao returned to their house in a daze. After Qiuju told them that they must not go out and do something and leave, they sat on the warm Kang and looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
But I understand in my heart that being able to find such a master is a blessing that I have cultivated in my previous life, and I must do things well in the future.
…
After New Year’s Eve, it’s fifteen. During these days, the sound of firecrackers has never stopped. The two little children of Zhuangzi can go to the grocery store to pick up 500-ring firecrackers every three days. Who made Zhuangzi do this? There is no shortage of this thing. It is the wish of all adults to have a happy New Year for children.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the three Zhuangzis still discussed and spent time together, but on the 13th day, Ge Yingxi of the Gejia Zhuangzi came to him and wanted to join him. This time, he became the four Zhuangzis together.
Ge Yingxi couldn't help it. The pressure was too great. The party on the New Year's Eve of Zhang Wangli's three Zhuangzi made the Zhuangzi of Gejia Zhuangzi very envious, and talked about it together if there was nothing to do.
After Ge Yingxi knew about the wealth of the three families, he had to find a way to get it again. It happened to have a fifteen. This time it would cost a lot of money. Seeing that the three Zhuangzi were going to be together again, he looked for it. Come and discuss it, so you can save some.
After receiving the consent of the three companies, Ge Yingxi trot back to his own village, and immediately asked the people in the inner courtyard to go outside to advertise. Now he will use this term to tell the villager that the lantern on the fifteenth day of the first month The master’s family will have one for each family. As for the new clothes, they don’t need it. They are given during the New Year. You can’t wear them for fifteen days before they become old.
There are also firecrackers. Just like lanterns, the Zhang family’s cost price is given to Ge Yingxi. Ge Yingxi has not forgotten that at this time last year, the Zhang family’s head of the family illuminates the starry sky together. He also made people pierce the torch. Last August 10 There is a moon in the sky at five.
According to the situation of clouds covering the moon on the 15th of August and snowing on the lights on the 15th of the first month, today’s 15th is a sunny day, and the stars can be seen. It should be a good weather.
After finishing all this, Ge Yingxi was relieved and sat at the door, looking at the bridge, and muttered: "I have been hurt by you."
Looking at those happy smiles on Zhuangzi again, he muttered: "But if I take it out and look at it a lot, I actually earn more."
For this fifteenth, the old man who didn’t know what Shangshu naturally took his family to participate again. He is now most satisfied with Zhangjiazhuangzi, except when he walked around, he saw people with joy on their faces. It looked like everyone was happy, and he was also happy when he looked at it.
"Kang, have you seen it? This is the people's mind. What Zhang and Wang's family do is to collect the people's mind. Other people dare not do like them, but they can make the people eat and dress warm. You are thinking of the people, the people. I think of you in my heart."
When the old man saw such a dealer, he said to his son beside him.
Kang'er nodded: "Father, the child knows, and the child will be a good official in the future, not greedy for a penny, thinking about the people all day long."
"That's wrong, I didn't let you be an official like this. Did you see the magistrate of Cheng County? Just be an official like him. You won't be short of money, you will get a good reputation, and the people under the rule will have a good life. "
The old man has been an official for so many years, how can he not know which kind of official is the most popular? The county magistrate Jia just didn’t want to understand, it is far worse than the county magistrate Cheng, as long as he takes it seriously, let Sanshui County Furthermore, there will be no shortage of money and political achievements, so why bother.
"Father, the county magistrate Cheng has just made a political achievement. They are greedy." Kang'er asked inexplicably.
The old man smiled and said, "He is not greedy for the people’s money, but Zhang’s Zhuangzi’s money. Do you know what he did when he came to Kyoto? He visited Shangguan one by one and organized a poetry club. He always preached Zhang Zhong’s Shi, even went to various big restaurants to entertain others, do you think he has so much money?"
"Ah? So much money? The child understands, it is the money given to him by Zhang's family." Kang'er now understands, as long as he has a relationship with some wealthy people in the local area, help them do small things, and then take the local If the people’s lives have improved, then this official is a good official.
The old man taught his son with the hearts of Zhangjiazhuangzi, and the night slowly came. When it was dark, the torches on the four zhuangzi were lit, and countless lanterns were picked up to the place of Xiaoqiao. Gathering away, watching from upstairs between the water and clouds, it is very spectacular.
"Go, grandpa, let's go down too." Seeing so many lanterns and torches, the old man's granddaughter pulled grandpa out and other family members followed.
Zhang Xiaobao also has an event this time. It’s not the kind of person who spends the night. He makes lantern riddles for everyone to guess, and the guess is rewarded. In this way, the people of Zhang Wang’s two Zhuangzi take advantage. After all, they have more people studying, and The time is longer, unless there is a miracle, or they will take the big head.
The old man also guessed a few, and won the lantern and small toys for his granddaughter, so he stopped guessing and let others play it. Guessing this not difficult lantern riddle based on his ability is bullying, and this lantern riddle is for the dealer. We prepared.
After the excitement, everyone dispersed again, with joy and anticipation of tomorrow, hanging the lantern under the eaves of their home.
Father Zhang was also ready to leave at this time, and he was going to the state middle school to take the exam. After he finished the exam, he would directly participate in Chunwei.
