Chapter 142 Zhang Family's New Year's Eve!
The New Year's Eve of the Zhang family is a very bookish New Year's Eve. The first thing the old lady did was to invite the brothers who were about to take the scientific exam this time to her yard to give a lecture.
Then the old lady led everyone to worship their ancestors, informed them, prayed for the protection and blessings of their ancestors for Zhang Haoran and other brothers. In order to actively prepare for the exam, all sacrifices this year will be simple.
The old lady said that this year's Spring Festival, no extravagance, no firecrackers, no opera troupes, no lanterns, the only focus of the Zhang family is on this boy trial. For Lu Zheng, he was happy to see it.
Although Lu Zheng was unable to meet his ancestors, he actually received the vegetables from his ancestors on New Year's Eve. In the small courtyard of Xijiaoyuan, Lu Zheng ushered in the first New Year's Eve that he traveled through time.
With Lu Zheng's insistence, everyone drank some wine in the morning. After Ying'er drank, her face turned red, but she was in a very good mood.
As soon as the weather cleared, Ying'er said to Lu Zheng: "Young Master, you have been very tired after studying hard for the past few months. Tomorrow is the new year. Why don't you go out and relax?"
Lu Zheng did feel that he was too home recently, and his bones were itchy. He thought to himself and said, "Okay, the so-called way of opening up and relaxing the civil and military will take a few days off during the Spring Festival. Let's do this. Tomorrow we will go to Yushan. I have heard of it for a long time and I have never had the chance to go. It just so happened that the weather during the Spring Festival has turned clear, so I just went over and take a look."
"Ah..." Ying'er exclaimed, her face turned redder. Big grandma is in Yushan. Now the Zhang family says that Big grandma and Zheng Ge'er are close to each other, and Lu Zheng actually wants to go to Yushan at this time?
But Ying'er didn't say anything after all, and said, "That's fine! Why don't I go and tell Sun San and ask him to prepare the car?"
Ying'er personally arranged to prepare everything for the trip, so Lu Zheng asked Sun San to set off immediately and go to Yushan on New Year's Eve.
"My God!" Ying'er was so scared that she hurried over to stop her. She secretly blamed herself for talking too much, and couldn't help but blame Lu Zheng for being too impatient.
According to the rules of Jiangnan, New Year's Eve is a day for reunion in one year. You must never go out on this day. Moreover, generally speaking, going to other people's houses on this day is also a very rude behavior. Lu Zheng has to go out on New Year's Eve. Where can this be done?
Now the Zhang family was originally rumored about the matter between Lu Zheng and his big grandmother. If Lu Zheng did not spend New Year's Eve at the Zhang family, there would definitely be more and more rumors in the future.
Lu Zheng was very excited, how could the shadow stop him? Besides, Lu Zheng was alone, and the reunion of the Zhang family was meaningless to him. He was living under someone else's roof. When he encountered such a reunion festival, he simply wanted to go out and relax!
Ying'er couldn't stop Lu Zheng, so she was so anxious that she didn't know what to do for a moment. Fortunately, Zhang Jing was slightly drunk and wandered to the yard from outside.
"Oh, Brother Zheng, are you still going to go out on this day?" Zhang Jing laughed.
Lu Zheng was ordering to pack his clothes. Seeing Zhang Jing's appearance, he smiled and said, "Second Brother Jing, I'll go out for free and easy. I'm afraid I'll be trapped at home and can't go out today. But it's good that the whole family will be reunited every year. Not everyone has such blessings. Second Brother, I envy you!"
When Lu Zheng said this, Zhang Jing was full of bitterness. This morning, the Zhang family had a reunion dinner, and there was nothing wrong with Zhang Jing. The ancestors called Zhang Haoran and others to talk one by one. Zhang Jing was left alone and ignored him. During the Chinese New Year, he only drank two glasses of wine. The old lady scolded him for drinking too much. If it weren't for New Year's Eve, Zhang Jing would have been scolded today.
After the morning reunion dinner in great pain, he returned to Qiugui Garden. Hua Hanjun was busy with all the things at home and had no time to pay attention to him. A group of girls and mothers in the yard saw him in the house, and they all hid and avoided him, which made him feel very depressed.
He was thinking about Zi Yan, the outer room on the cross street, and he didn't dare to go out, so he came to find Lu Zheng when he was bored. His dignified second son of the Zhang family, Lu Zheng, in the whole family, became the only person who could talk to him.
"Good brother, you're the best to go out. I'll go out with you too. It's really painful to stay here. Although my grandmother said that this year is simple, according to the rules of previous years, even if it's a halved rule, I probably can't leave until the fifth day of the lunar month. How can I survive this day!" Zhang Jing said.
He was already ready to move, but now he saw Lu Zheng collecting things and wanted to leave. Lu Zheng laughed and said:
"It's okay if you follow me. As long as my second sister-in-law lets go, I will definitely take you out. I will help you come back when the sky falls. How about it?"
When Zhang Jing heard that Hua Hanjun was about to let go, he stamped his feet and said, "Brother Zheng, aren't you talking nonsense? You don't understand what your second sister-in-law is? He wants to tie my hands and feet up!
Okay, don’t you take me there, right? Then don’t go out. We two are blessed and difficult to share. I am satisfied with you with you during the Chinese New Year.”
Zhang Jing was playing tricks while drinking, and Ying'er breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Young Master, you can accompany the second master today. We will be able to go again tomorrow!"
Lu Zheng smiled and said, "I'll accompany you, Master Jing, this is the master? You can say it out loud. OK, Brother, don't play this with me. I have a way to make you retreat!"
When Zhang Jing heard Lu Zheng say so confidently, he also became angry and said, "Is that right? Brother Zheng, I only accept you, but for today's matter, my second brother really wants to see what you can do. I will depend on you today!"
Lu Zheng said: "The solution is very simple. Second brother, please hide in the car and listen. Second sister-in-law, look at your family. On New Year's Eve, you don't stay at home and insist on relying on me, and even say you want to go out with me!
I am alone and rely on others, and no one cares about wherever I go, but how can I do my best to be like this?"
Zhang Jing heard Lu Zheng say this in the carriage and laughed: "Brother Zheng, it's useless to shout out loud. Don't say you call me second sister-in-law, even if you invite your ancestors over, it will be useless.
Who would like to be the second master of the Zhang family? Anyway, I can’t stay in this ghost place for a day. Where can I live here and live in Cross Street for free?
Today is the Chinese New Year, I am still angry with a reunion dinner. Second brother, I really want to be a lonely ghost like your brother Zheng, and I am happy to be free and happy!”
Zhang Jing was talking loudly in the carriage. He drank a little wine and was very excited. He chatted alone for a long time but didn't hear Lu Zheng's answer.
He smiled proudly, lifted the curtain of the car and said, "How about it, Brother Zheng, have nothing to say? Hehe, your second sister-in-law, I have a way...uh..."
Zhang Jing lifted the curtain and jumped out of the car, and the words in his mouth came to an abrupt end.
He stared at the front with a very wonderful expression. In front of him, about two or three meters away, there was a woman in red shirt standing pretty. Who would it be if it were Hua Hanjun?
Zhang Jing saw Hua Hanjun and was sweating all over his body. Subconsciously, he was silent. His previous intention of drinking was stimulated and he was completely awake.
"Hua...hua...sister, why are you...you are here?"
Hua Hanjun's face was as cold as ice, and her eyes were as fierce as a knife. Zhang Jing couldn't help but shrink her neck. Her previous momentum was completely relieved and she stammered:
"Brother Zheng...you, why didn't you say anything when your second sister-in-law comes? OK, it's the New Year today, I won't be having fun with you. I'll go back first, go back first!"
Zhang Jing said he would go back and turn around and leave. Hua Hanjun looked cold and said, "Slow down!"
Zhang Jing's body stiffened, as if he had been imposed on a fixed body. His feet immediately took root and he did not dare to move any more.
"Sister Hua, today is the New Year, don't be angry, okay? Let's go back together, there will be..."
"Okay!" Hua Hanjun sneered, raised his hand gently, walked to the center of the yard, and said, "The second master of the Zhang family stayed at home and felt like he was staying in a cage. My surname was Hua, and my surname was Zhang could not stay, and my surname was Hua could not stay even more!
Anyway, I have arranged the family affairs. Don’t you envy Brother Zheng’er for his idle clouds and wild cranes and lonely ghosts? Then we will go out with Brother Zheng and stay at home this year. It’s time to go out for a walk!"
When Hua Hanjun said this, Zhang Jing's soul was scared. On New Year's Eve, Hua Hanjun actually wanted to go out too? There are so many things happening around the Zhang family before and after the New Year, which one can lack Hua Hanjun?
Before and after the New Year, if the Zhang family had no Hua Hanjun, could this festival continue? Zhang Jing thought so in his heart, but how could he dare to say these words to Hua Hanjun?
He just thought Hua Hanjun was talking angry, and immediately turned his eyes to Lu Zheng and said, "Good brother, are you talking about it, are you just not helping your second brother?"
Lu Zheng laughed and said, "Second brother, what can I do? I don't know how to make this happen. Otherwise, my second sister-in-law will find her brother-in-law and run away together on New Year's Eve. If this happens, then the Zhang family's lintel will be ruined. Second sister-in-law, do you think this is the reason?"
Hua Hanjun's face turned red suddenly, and her previous aura could no longer be held. She stomped her feet hard, pointed at Lu Zheng and cursed:
"You kid, you can't spit out ivory. Who wants to run away with you? Be careful that your second brother is angry and cut off your tongue!
Hey, I understand, Lu Zheng, you are going to go to Yushan, are you just thinking about your sister-in-law? That happens, I am going to go to Yushan today, so you leave first, and I will go out later.
You, Brother Jing, can’t stay at home, so you will go to Yushan to check it out. This year, my ancestors said everything was simple, and I don’t need to care much about the family affairs. Even if I go to Yushan, I will pray for the old lady!”
