Chapter 334 The end of the year

Since the return of Rongfu, Lin Jinrong has felt that life is going by so fast that there are new things every day,

I have something to worry about every day.

There are many differences between Beijing and Pingzhou. Since the twelfth lunar month, the poor have the joy of the poor, and the rich have the joy of the rich. The poor are divided into groups, pretending to be women's gods and ghosts, beating gongs and drums, and coming to the door to ask for money. It is commonly known as "beating night Hu" is said to be able to exorcise ghosts and evil spirits. Such a person will come to the door every three or five times, and Lin Jinrong always gives some rice every time.

Rich families set up banquets, make snow lions, hang snow lamps, invite friends, and drink and reunite whenever it snows. Lu Yan was invited to be a guest for nearly half of the time. Every day, when she returned home, she kept the smell of wine and ate a lot. She had to pay back the dinner. Fortunately, the family was rich in resources, and Chunya and Mother Sha could do it, so she was not tired.

This is just daily life, not to mention all kinds of festivals.

On the eighth day of the lunar month, Lin Jinrong sent away countless monks and nuns who came to the door, and led Mam Sha and others to cook Laba porridge and some specialty cakes. He also received many gifts while giving them everywhere.

On the 15th, the emperor held a rehearsal to celebrate the Lantern Festival of the Lantern Festival in the Baozhang Palace outside Jinglongmen. It was night. At night, Lu Yan took time to lead Lin Jinrong to take a car to see the bustle. Before he got home, he was already sleepy. He almost fell asleep in Lu Yan's arms.

On the 24th, during the New Year, people in Beijing should ask monks or Taoists to recite scriptures on this day and night, prepare wine and fruit for trial, burn the family to replace paper money, paste the statue of the stove prince, and wipe it on the stove door with wine lees, which is called "drunken life". At night, he also had to light a small lamp under the bed, which was called "light exhaustion", which made Lin Jinrong worried and always worried that it would get up.

So, I'm busy every day and it's finally New Year's Eve.

It was night. Nuo opera was held in the palace to exorcise evil spirits, and the city was full of firecrackers. Lin Jinrong and Lu Yan surrounded the stove to keep the night. After three o'clock, they fell asleep with the landing.

Lu Qian looked at her quiet sleeping face and raised abdomen. Listening to the sound of firecrackers outside the window, he suddenly realized that they had been husband and wife for nearly three years. Recalling the past, he was so moved for a moment that he couldn't help kissing Lin Jinrong's forehead gently to remove the hairpin on her head. There was Halfway through, Lin Jinrong suddenly woke up. He suddenly turned his head and pulled a belt. The hairpin slipped from Lu Yan's hand and slid down from his robe, which could fall to the ground.

Pick it up again, and the hairpin has a crack. It is one of the pairs of gold-inlaid white jade plum hairpins that Yang Mo gave to Lin Jinrong.

Lu Yan knew that Lin Jinrong liked this pair of hairpins very much. What's more, he always felt that it was not good at the beginning and the end of the first month. He was afraid to show it to her, which made her feel uncomfortable. She quickly put the hairpin into her sleeve with her back and made a playful look to cover up Did you wake up?"

Lin Jinrong slept muddle-headed and didn't find anything. He only opened a pair of slightly confused eyes and whispered, "I'm dreaming."

Lu Yan saw that her forehead was sweaty and her face was red. He couldn't help loving and pitiful, and took a small silk handkerchief

The heart wiped away the sweat for her and whispered, "What did you dream about?" Lin Jinrong blinked and exhaled gently: "It's nothing, it's just a random dream. It's almost seven months old. It's time to find a nursing mother and a midwife.

In the dream, the child is about to be born. According to the customs, the Lin family asked Mrs. Gong to send a painful gift and a wet nurse. Gong Mammy told her that the wet nurse was carefully selected by Dow to help her take care of the children, and she could use it at ease. She was extremely happy. She secretly said that it was always inconvenient for the wet nurse she found in Beijing to take her back to Pingzhou, so she asked the wet nurse to come forward to see, but the wet nurse's face could always be seen clearly. When the baby was born, the wet nurse picked up the child and handed it to her. She suddenly saw that the wet nurse was actually Wen Niang, so she suddenly woke up in fear.

First, she fell asleep, and then suddenly woke up and said that she wanted to find a wet nurse and a midwife. Her nature really reminded me more and more. It is said that pregnant women are happy and angry, which is really true. Lu Yan couldn't help laughing: "You were not in a hurry earlier, but you were in a hurry when you woke up. Where can you find someone in the middle of the night? It's always necessary to ask someone to visit carefully. This is a big deal, and it can't be careless at all. Lin Jinrong smiled and said, "I didn't say I was looking for it now. I mean it's time to start.

You can ask a few fellow villagers another day, but there are suitable candidates to recommend. I don't ask for anything else, but your hands and feet must be clean and you must do things carefully.

Lu Yan nodded and said, "Don't worry, I can save it. Let's take off your clothes and then go back to sleep?" Lin Jinrong couldn't sleep: "Are you going to keep the night together? I fell asleep earlier, and now I will stay with you. Isn't there a big dynasty meeting on New Year's Day? When you take a nap, you should go." Lu Yan then discussed with her: "The first month in Beijing is the most lively. Starting from tomorrow, the government will ban the people for three days. Needless to say, in the evening, not only ordinary people, but also the daughters of your family will come out to play and gamble. There are many people who go to the pub and teahouse to eat and drink. No one will laugh at anyone without avoiding suspicion. I have arranged for Lu Liang to go to the New Year's Day tomorrow, and I will go after the end of the court, which I have to come to the house in person. If you have the spirit, you can receive New Year's greetings, and if you don't have the spirit, go to bed. After dinner in the evening, I will take you out for a walk and see the hustle and bustle, so you must refresh yourself. Lin Jinrong answered, but said, "But I'm so clumsy now." Lu Yan smiled and said, "Isn't it just that you use more materials to make clothes? I look good. Let's not be crowded in crowded places, just watch the hustle and bustle from a distance.

"Good." Lin Jinrong answered and played with his fingers. Lu Yan looked down at her and stroked her hair one by one. Gradually, Lin Jinrong couldn't stand it and closed his eyes again.

When she was asleep, Lu Yan carefully laid her flat, covered her with a quilt, gently moved her numb legs, and stretched out. He turned around and took out the Meihuā hairpin in his sleeve and looked carefully at the lamp. He said that he was lucky enough not to break. He just asked someone to inlay some gold wire to cover it, so he put a pair of hairpins into his sleeves and hid it carefully.

The next day, when Lin Jinrong woke up, Lu Yan had already left the door. After serving her for breakfast, Douer brought a lacquered plate of New Year's door to show her. She smiled and said, "These were all thrown by the servants. Several families next door went to the door in person, but they all knew that Grandma's body was not as good as usual, so Mother Sha and Sister Chunya came forward to entertain her, and no one

Lin Jinrong took over the stack of New Year's doors and looked at them, but they were all good three inches wide paper, rolled into chopsticks, tied with red wire. Then he took a pair of New Year's door list prepared by Lu Yan earlier, and made sure that there were no mistakes and omissions. He just put them aside and asked, "When did Lu Liang leave the door?"

Douer smiled and said, "I went there just after dawn, and it's time to come back." As he spoke, he heard Cherry come in and said, "Grandma, Manager Yao is here."

Lin Jinrong hurriedly called in.

Yao Zhuo, dressed in new clothes, lowered his head and said to Lin Jinrong under the curtain after the end of the week, "I won't close the business these two days. I'm afraid that more guests will get up later. Because I'm afraid that I'm too busy, I came early to pay New Year's greetings to my

Lin Jinrong smiled and said that he had worked hard. He ordered Douer to bring up the reward money he had prepared for a long time, and asked Yao Zhuo to scatter for her. He said a few more words of encouragement, and then sent him to eat.

Yao Zhuo said, "Grandma, I have something to tell you. In the past two days, there have always been people wandering around the shop, asking questions, but they don't buy anything. It's not appropriate to look at it. It makes people follow, but they are lost. I'm afraid someone will come to explore the truth and say that she knows it with grandma. Grandma knows it well.

Since the winter solstice, the business of this shop has been going high, and it is inevitable that some people will be coveted. Lin Jinrong thought for a moment and said, "I know. You go back first and take good care of yourself. Don't be greedy for money. Don't do inappropriate business. I have my own opinion."

Yao Zhuo agreed to retreat and didn't mention it.

Lin Jinrong picked up a New Year's door from the paint plate. Looking at the beautiful small regular script written on it, he made up his mind in an instant.

Near Shen, Lu Yan came out of a family to pay New Year's greetings, turned over his horse, ordered a long life to keep up, and headed for the Tang family's gold and silver shop.

This Beijing is rich and luxurious. On New Year's Day, there are no restrictions on whether it is a folk or a rich family, and there are no restrictions on women's travel. When women go shopping, they have to buy things. Places like the Tang family's gold and silver shop must be the top priority. Therefore, the Tang family's gold and silver shop has been fully prepared for a long time, placing all kinds of exquisite and eye-catching jewelry in an eye-catching place, waiting for people to buy at home.

Lu Yan came here to customize incense balls for Lin Jinrong and others in the past. He was barely familiar with it. When he went in, he called the clerk over, took out a pair of gold-inlaid white jade plum huā hairpin, and showed the crack to the clerk: "Let's see if there is any way to cover it up The guest will wait a moment. We need to ask our third master about this. At a glance, the man recognized who this thing came from, and saw that Lu Yan's appearance was extraordinary and did not dare to neglect it. He diligently invited Lu Yan into the elegant room to sit and drink tea, and then took the hairpin and went inside. In a while, a young man in his twenties came in and said, "Your Majesty, this is our third master. This pair of hairpins came from him. You can tell him your request.

Lu Yan saw that although Third Master Tang was a craftsman, he was gentle and behaved very decently, so he came forward to salute and talked to him and told all the requirements.

Third Master Tang looked at it carefully and smiled, "It's not difficult. Take a very thin gold wire plate and set it with cloud patterns, so you can't see anything." After chatting with Lu Yan, he asked with a smile, "I don't know how Mr. Wu is now?"
