After putting these two things down, the Tang family was going to talk about Tang Que's tuition. Tang Que had already planned this matter, but because these plans involved the poisonous widow, they could not tell Tang and Zhang that they were only anxious. Originally, they planned to fill the hole with the dowry brought by their daughter-in-law, but now that their son is unwilling to do so, they can only find another way. But in this situation at home, what else can they do besides worrying?

Tang Que was so anxious that he couldn't bear it when he saw that the Zhang family of Tang and Zhang were anxious about this matter, so he simply ran to Liu Lizheng's house and asked him to help him. The two set up a plan to cheat and said that the fee was borrowed from the Liu family in the name of Tang Que and would be paid back again in the future. At least, it relieved the sorrows in front of the old couple.

All things were mixed in, and after Tang Que cleared the family's affairs, it took more than half a month to calculate that Lin Xuezheng, who was patrolling the county magistrate Zhang, should return to the county school, so he said goodbye to Mr. Yan and others and moved to the county town.

This is the second time Tang Que has traveled to Yunxi County in more than a year. Thinking about the first time he went to the county town last year, Tang Que couldn't help but slow down and carefully looked at the familiar city gate tower in front of him and the lively scene of people coming and going down the city gate tower.

Just as he was browsing the dark and stupid ancient city walls with his eyes, he heard a shout from afar, vaguely calling his name. When Tang Que turned his head and looked, he couldn't see clearly because of the crowd. He was wondering if he had heard it wrong, and saw the crowd in front of him, wearing a tender yellow 5-fold skirt and squeezed over.

Because the person was too crowded, Lancao had a layer of sweat on her forehead, but her red face was filled with a smile that could not be concealed.

It’s a pity that she has hoped for over ten days, but now she has finally waited for someone.

Lan Jie'er first greedily looked Tang Que up and down carefully before reaching out to pick up the bedding in his hand, "Why do you still bring this? The house is ready for you."

"I don't want to take it, but I don't agree to my mother." Tang Que didn't give Lancao bedding, but only handed over the bookcase, and asked a beautiful girl to carry a shoulder pole! "There are so many people."

"It's been over half a month, and people are about to get moldy. Today, the sun is so warm and everyone wants to come out and take a walk. Isn't it squeezed together?" Lan Jie'er walked towards the city with her bookcase in her back and walked towards Tang Que, chattering and talking nonstop, "I went to the city gate early in the morning. Fortunately, I came early, otherwise it would be difficult to hire a donkey cart."

"Thank you for your hard work." Tang Que agreed but didn't hear Lan Jie'er talking. When he turned his head, he saw that the girl was staring at the side in a daze. The two she looked at were obviously young couples who had just gotten married. Because there were too many people, they were afraid of being squeezed. The young couple held hands in the crowd, with tenderness and sweetness between their eyebrows and eyes. It seemed that they were really loving and harmonious. And Lan Jie'er looked at them with envy.

Seeing this, Tang Que shook his head and smiled, stretched out his hand to hold Lancao's little hand, and continued to walk forward without saying anything.

In later generations, not to mention holding hands in front of people, even gnawing on their mouths is nothing, but this was the Tang Dynasty, and in broad daylight, Tang Que's generous behavior made Lan Cao'er's face turn red at first, and then a strange layer of brightness was covered with her face, and she suddenly lost words, and she followed Tang Que silently like a young wife who returned to her parents' home.

Until she got on the donkey cart parked on the right side of the city gate, Lan Cao'er didn't let go, and just held Tang Que's hand and went all the way to the house where Du Widow bought in the county town.

Yunxi City is backed by Dajian Mountain and facing Shuanglong River. The entire county town is built on a basin between mountains and rivers. The construction pattern in the city is typically imitating the Chang'an imperial capital. The entire county town is neatly divided into four pieces by cross-shaped roads. Each piece is exactly a fang area, and each fang area is a separate living space. Among the four fangs, the two fangs facing the city gate are mostly civilians, and as for those with some power and wealth, they live in the latter two fangs, which is no different from other cities.

The tung oil shop of the poisonous widow is the largest tung oil merchant in the county, so it is naturally located in the Xifang behind. The house she bought in the city is in the same tung area. Although the county school is not located in this tung, it is only separated by a street in the middle. Such a location is not far or near, which is exactly what Tang Que wants.

This is a small courtyard with two entrances and two wardrobes. It is not large in size but is better than Yajing. Because the study has been newly renovated recently, there is a faint fragrance of varnish floating in the courtyard. Although it was just a quick turn, Tang Que fell in love with this place almost immediately.

After seeing the courtyard, Tang Que went to the west wing to sit down. According to the habit of the poisonous widow Lao Zhuangzi, this was the place to be prepared for her.

After sitting down, Lancao went to burn the hot water for washing, and Tang Que casually flipped over a pile of colored paper on the table beside him. Some of these colored papers were cut, and some were not yet formed. It was obviously all masterpieces of Lancao.

There are only seven styles of paper-cutting of orchid, namely chicken, dog, pig, sheep, cow, horse, and humans. Not only does it not have a bird, but there are not even any tricks. When Tang Que turned over the paper-cutting, he saw a book pressing under the pile of papers. When he picked it up, he read it, it was a book called "The Monthly Order and the Marquis". The page he opened was printed with paper-cutting styles. I guess what Lan Cao learned was the way it was in the book, and there was a small word next to the pattern:

According to the "Question and Answering Customs" by Dong Xun, a native of Jin, the "Man's Day" is from the 8th day of the New Year (the first day of the first lunar month). The ribbons are cut and the animals are roosters, the sky is clear and the air is bright, and the people are peaceful and the country is prosperous, and the four barbarians come to the court. The second day is a dog, and there is no wind and rain, and it will be ripe. The third day is a pig, and the weather is clear and the king is peaceful. The fourth day is sheep, and the complexion is warm and there is no disaster. The ministers follow the orders of the king. The fifth day is horse, and the world is ripe. The sixth day is ox, and the sun and the moon are clear and the year is ripe. The seventh day is a man, and the sun and the sun are clear and the sun is clear. The sun and the sun and the sun are clear and the sun is clear. The seventh day is a man, and the sun and the sun and the sun are clear and the sun is clear. The stars are seen at night, and the people are peaceful and the country is peaceful and the king and the ministers are harmonious. The eighth day is a valley, and the day is clear and the stars are clear at night, and the grains are abundant.

After seeing this passage, Tang Que understood it. It seems that this person cuts ribbons every day just like looking at the vernal equinox. They use spring to divine good fortune and bad luck throughout the year, which is a real folk custom.

He was watching interestingly. Lancao was already walking in with a copper basin. Tang Que put down his book and went to wash. "Sister Lan, do you still remember what weather was on the seventh day of the first lunar month?"

"The seventh day of the first lunar month?" Lancao skillfully helped Tang Que roll up his sleeves. After thinking about it, he said, "If you want to say that the seventh day of the first lunar month this year is a good sun, but it is very dark at night. Not to mention the stars, even the moon cannot be seen."
