Chapter 16: Festival

Wu Kui was also quiet when he was buried. Several hired helpers carried the coffin to the selected burial site, put the coffin in and changed the shovel. Cao Muwen picked up a handful of paper money and slowly sprinkled it in.

"The Tomb of Shi Wu Kui." Cao Muwen meditated on the words on the tablet in his heart. After staring for a long time, Wei Manliang also left after setting up the monument. And he still wants to stay here for a while.

Alas~~, Cao Muwen sighed in his heart. At this time, he was not so bored. In fact, Cao Muwen has been regarded as a guide to the Ming Dynasty for half a year, as if he could better help him adapt to this era. After all, Wukui is over 100 years old, and at least he has rich life experience. He learns from him not only "doing" but also all kinds of forests in daily life.

In the past six months, Cao Muwen has become more and more adaptable to this, and those who just arrived have now been completely eliminated. In the past few days since Wu Kui's death, he has become more and more aware of this. He stood up, gently shook the soil on his shirt, stared at the monument for the last time, and turned back.

Cao Muwen thought, "Maybe it's just starting now."

Now, Cao Muwen is one of the works in Daxing County. The old one won't go, and the new one won't come. Cao Muwen felt a sense of joking in his heart.

There are still nearly ten days before the Spring Festival, and the government will take a "vacation" during the Spring Festival. Most of the government officials will order them to go home to prepare for the Spring Festival and prepare for the Spring Festival. If it is not a human life or a major case, the government will not open the door. Therefore, Cao Muwen wanted to go to the government to register before childhood.

In the past few days, Cao Muwen carefully checked what Wu Kui left for himself. Some clothes, books and so on, and his wooden box - toolbox. Cao Muwen opened the wooden box and looked at various "tools" in his heart. The general autopsy can't be a little disrespectful to the deceased, so most of Cao Muwen in these "tools" have never seen Wu Kui use it, and he doesn't know anything about it.

For good, many of the books left by Wu Kui are "professional books", in which there are many introductions to the methods and processes of inspection; more importantly, there are also introductions the use and functions of various utensils, which is a reassurance for Cao Muwen.

"It's good to have time to read it slowly, but I'm not afraid of my own indiscriminately." This man breathed a sigh of relief.

I came to the official's room in the government gate again, which made Cao Muwen sigh a lot for a moment. I remember that the last time I came with ~~~

After the lord registered with himself, he thought of Cao Muwen with a smile.

"Little brother, we will also be colleagues together in the future. We need more support each other." The one said.

This surprised Cao Muwen. Although the chief official is not an official, he is also a regular member of the imperial court, and he himself should have worked in the government office for many years. Even if you are a county magistrate, you have to give three points of thin face. How can you show off your low status first? Besides, you are still a newcomer to the workplace. Because of the source, I couldn't speak for a while.

"Uh, this. You are too~~"

"Oh, Wu Zheng is the chief official here." Wu Zheng and Cao Muwen did not answer for a moment, so he had to introduce himself.

Cao Muwen settled down and smiled, "The younger Cao Muwen is a new masterpiece. This, the junior's skills are shallow and weak, and adults should order more in the future. The younger generation is very grateful. Originally, Cao Muwen wanted to say "pick up more" when he opened his mouth, but when he thought that he was a masterpiece, it was impossible to improve at all. Where did the "pick up points" come from? He also thought about it. When he dealt with people in the government at a young age, he should pay more or less attention to words. Don't attract some " Mouth disaster. I have to use "on-demand" to show my shallowness. I hope that when I come here for the first time, I can get the protection of some seniors, that's all. Finally, he was called "adult". Although officials can't be called "adult" no matter how old they are, it is a strong flattery to call him in private.

"Oh, hehe, oh, young people, don't be so modest." Wu Zheng said with a smile, and the two short beards on his jaw trembled slightly.

"Well, I still have business to do. You go back first."

"Well, that junior left first." Cao Muwen replied.

When he came out of the government, Cao Muwen was a little happy. I didn't expect this "human resources director" to have a good personality, although I don't have any contact with him at work. However, it is better to have a relationship with the supervisor who is in charge of his monthly money.

It seems that nothing has happened to me in recent days. When he had free time, Cao Muwen carefully took care of his new home. After all, it's the Spring Festival, so it's better to decorate it. First recruit the landlord to push off his own house. Because he plans to live with Wu Kui in the future. In fact, he has spent more time there than in his own home in the past six months. After finishing the house deed, he brought his belongings to Yuan Wukui and cleaned it up by himself. Cao Muwen feels like a housewife.

As soon as this word is mentioned, it seems that the image of Wei Manliang's daughter-in-law will automatically appear in Cao Muwen's mind, which is not what he thinks. However, that image matched Cao Muwen's long-standing impression of an ancient housewife, and he was immediately impressed.

Suddenly, Cao Muwen remembered. Yesterday, when he was reading the book left by Wu Kui at home, Wei Manliang also came to look at himself and asked him to come home for the Spring Festival tomorrow night. Ah! It's today. Cao Muwen was very surprised. It seemed that he was only busy with family affairs these days. He was alone and was not popular. It's the same as a few days. If you have a job now, you won't starve to death.

When I went out in the evening, I found that I was indeed an otaku. Not only did it turn out, but the habit had not been changed in ancient times. After not going to the street for a few days, I found that the scenery on the street had changed.

All kinds of restaurants, restaurants, shops, and street vendors on both sides of the street are newly decorated. The door of the slightly larger store is affixed with inverted Fu characters.

Is it possible that the modern habit of pasting Fu characters upside down is passed down here? Cao Muwen thought in his heart. Many stores still have Spring Festival couplets on their doors. Coincidentally, there was a couplet on the door frame of a pub on the left. Cao Muwen was thinking that he had not been on the street for many days, and he did not walk out of the door, just like a daughter who had not left the cabinet, and he also wanted to see more on the street.

The couplet I saw is "Spring breeze enters the house, and the years are full of blessings", and the horizontal criticism is "New Year's Day". It seems that there is no technical content and there is no rhyme. But it's also simple and straightforward. For example, Spring Festival couplets, what they want is to respond to the scene. Shops post some for money and blessings, and they want stability in the coming year, so they have nothing more.

Well, in ancient times, people were also happy in poverty. As long as they were a little stable, they would be satisfied. Hey, I really don't want to make progress." Cao Muwen is also very happy.

Walk a few steps and see another one. Fuwang, wealth and good luck, family prosperity, people's career prosperity", and the horizontal criticism is full of joy. It's similar. Along the way, the Spring Festival couplets on the door frame were all for this, and I didn't have any interest in looking at a few more pictures.

At this time, there was a shout. Cao Muwen turned his head and saw that he was a seller walking in the streets and alleys. When he came to Cao Muwen to take a closer look, the seller was only ten years old. Uh-huh~~, but the eyebrows are clear. Seeing that he sells melon seeds, walnuts and other nuts, it is suitable to buy them for Brother Wei, Cao Muwen thought so. I went to visit several times before, and my hands were empty. I measured that my face was like a wall, and it was inevitable that I had some conscience in my heart.

"Well, buy something. After all, I also have income." Cao Muwen comforted himself and thought to himself, "It seems that in case you lose your job one day, you don't have to buy anything to come to your door."

spent more than ten cents to buy some food. Cao Muwen turned around and walked to the alley where Wei Manliang lived. Looking at the pedestrians on the street all the way, the vendors did not feel that the road was far away.

I wanted to surprise him, but Cao Muwen planned to enter the door quietly. He didn't think about it. As soon as he entered the door, he was facing Wei Manliang. It shocked him.

"Hey, Brother Cao, why don't you come here and say anything? Come in quickly." Wei Manliang's face was full of joy. It turned out that Wei Manliang also estimated that Cao Muwen should be coming soon. He was about to go out to have a look, but he didn't expect to come out by himself as soon as he arrived at the door.

The two began to talk in detail again. Wei Manliang was also happy to learn that Cao Muwen had been registered in the government. Cao Muwen also said, "I didn't expect that you were penniless when you came here. If you didn't help me, you would have to sleep out. Brother, I'm very grateful.

Wei Manliang laughed and said, "Where is it? I just helped my brother find a place to live. It doesn't matter. But brother, you taught me a lot of words. My daughter-in-law is still praising me!"

When Sister-in-law Wei, who was making dumplings, heard this, she suddenly turned red to her ears. Ascension shouted, "Don't talk nonsense." Wei Manliang became more popular when he heard this. He opened his mouth and laughed again. After a few glasses of wine, even his face turned a little red.

The dumplings are made and put into the pot, and the room is warmer than before. The night was getting dark, and at this time, there was a crackling sound of firecrackers on the street. There were also faint shouts of children, and it must be those naughty children who went out to the street to play. And the atmosphere in the room is also very warm. For a moment, there was continuous laughter.

It seems that the discomfort has dissipated for a long time, Cao Muwen thought. You have really integrated yourself here.

After Cao Muwen and Wei Manliang talked happily with each other, it was time to say goodbye. Cao Muwen was about to get up and leave. At this time, Mrs. Wei took out a big burden from the inner room, which seemed to contain a lot of food. Cao Muwen smelled a smell of food when he sat at the table.
