Chapter 858(1/2)
The light of the moon reflects, the clear and bright light is flawless.
On the verdant side of the lush and secluded tanus, the starry eyes of the man smiled, lightness and hope, like rhythmic notes, bringing Xu Changqing's body and mind to a brighter and more.
What Xu Changqing was most afraid of before was that Zhang Baozhu was "cold treatment" for him.
The kind of non-response of "resisting people from thousands of miles away" even if it has the power to open mountains and fill the sea, it cannot do anything at all.
At this time, this warm and lively family life seemed to have changed Zhang Baozhu in a subtle way.
Seeing Xu Changqing smiling foolishly like a child, Zhang Baozhu's pretty face turned red and she spat softly: "You, why are you smirking? Today is New Year's Eve, I just don't want to lose your face."
But she was obviously a little bit like "no silver here."
Xu Changqing hurriedly beat the snake and smiled and said, "Baozhu, then I am so flattered. Are you doing well these days? Are there any things you don't adapt to? I heard from the maid that you were sick a few days ago. Didn't you have a good meal?"
Seeing that Xu Changqing obviously didn't want to change her words, Zhang Baozhu glared at Xu Changqing fiercely, but Xu Changqing was unmoved at all and still looked at her with a silly smile.
Zhang Baozhu was so thin-skinned that she couldn't hold on after a moment, and said angrily: "Are you so idle tonight? I feel a little uncomfortable and I'm going to go back and rest."
As he said that, he turned around and wanted to leave.
Xu Changqing seemed not to let her go easily, followed quickly, and said with a smile: "Baozhu, I have always wanted to find you a drink. Thank you for helping me pray for Buddha when I went to war, but I never had a chance. I finally met it today, and it would be really unreasonable not to drink a drink. Otherwise, if Buddha blamed him, you and I would not be able to bear it."
“…”
Zhang Baozhu's pretty face turned redder and she was speechless.
Xu Changqing is so clever and shameless. He can make up such a reason for this kind of thing...
It’s not that she didn’t want to have a good chat with Xu Changqing, or even have a drink of wine, but at this time there were so many people and the two of them were nameless, so it was definitely not the time.
Just as he was about to find a reason to refuse, Xu Changqing whispered again: "After the sacrifice to the ancestors, I will set up fireworks, I will arrange this place and meet in the pagoda. By the way, Baozhu, you bring a few side dishes and a few pots of good wine, and that's it."
After saying that, Xu Changqing blinked at her and then left quickly.
"This bad guy..."
Zhang Baozhu bit her red lips hard. Is this guy a worm in her belly?
But if she agreed, wouldn't it... that would make Xu Changqing even more arrogant...
For a moment, Zhang Baozhu was a little messy. It took a while for her to adjust and went to the children to watch the fireworks and continue to adjust.
But at this time, neither Zhang Baozhu nor Xu Changqing noticed that a slightly small and pretty figure appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Look, you don’t have to worry about robbers like Xu Changqing, you can easily find his feet!
My mother was right, 'There is no cat in this world that doesn't steal fishy food!'
After that, she must take Dong'e with her to catch her, and take a look at the ugly face of Xu Changqing, the evil thief!
...
New Year's Eve is very relaxing and freehand for the children, but Xu Changqing really can't relax. He has many things, the most important of which is worshiping ancestors.
According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty at this time, today we will "report our work" to our ancestors and put a perfect end to this year.
By the first day of the Lunar New Year, including the second day of the Lunar New Year, it will be a larger and more serious ancestor worship.
In short, it means to invite our ancestors to come and offer good wine and meat to bless the new year with good weather.
If there are many brothers and sisters in the family, just leave it to the second and third brothers to preside over the presidency, then as the head of the family, you can be more relaxed.
But Xu Changqing's lineage is the only one who can do this, and no one except Xu Changqing can do this.
Later, the Xu family's "family children" including Zhao Zengjin, Ergou, Wang Anshan, Mao Qun, Mao Tiechhui, and others will come to kowtow to the Xu family's ancestor Xu Da and Xu Changqing's grandfather and father's tablets, including Xu Xin, Dalang, Erlang and others will also come to accompany him.
The Xu family’s ancestral hall is not far from the restaurant. This is planned and built by Xu Changqing’s mother, Yang.
In the blink of an eye, Yang had been widowed for more than ten or twenty years. If it were in peace, it would have been a long time since it was established.
Even though Yang had already had many imperial edicts because of Xu Changqing and didn't care about these, she still valued the ancestor worship.
After all, Xu Changqing was definitely a talented person at this time. Even if she went underground, she could explain to Xu Changqing's father Xu Huchen, including the ancestors of the Xu family.
When he arrived at the ancestral hall, Yang was indeed busy here.
Seeing Xu Changqing coming, Yang's mood became a little brighter, "Have the children arranged it?"
Xu Changqing smiled and said, "Mom, everything has been arranged. I'll wait for you to say hello, and the little guys will come to help you."
Yang immediately gave Xu Changqing anger and said, "How old are you, don't have a good job?"
But as she said that, her mood became much brighter and she asked Xu Changqing to start working.
Xu Changqing also gave a wink at the housekeeper next to her and asked her to bring the children over quickly.
Otherwise, in this state, Yang will be in love with the scene, recalling the past, and secretly hurting the mind, and things will not be beautiful. Children must use their children to firmly grasp her energy, so that she has no time to think about those messy things.
"Grandma, Xin'er kowtowed to grandma."
"Grandma, I'll kowtow to you too."
"And I, and I, I want to kowtow to my grandma..."
Soon, it seemed like the devils entered the village, and a group of little guys flocked to him.
Poor Yang was watching the ancestor tablets, but he was instantly destroyed before he could really get into the state. He was afraid that these little guys would hit each other and hurriedly got up and grabbed one: "You little guys, oh, my little ancestor, whoever wants to run around will be beaten, grandma will hit someone's board today!"
But her threat seemed to have no effect.
The little guys who suffered grievances on their mother's side on weekdays would come over to complain to her. Knowing that she would never punish them easily, they soon surrounded her.
Xu Changqing and the girls who rushed over later looked at each other and couldn't help but smiled knowingly.
...
After the ancestor worship is over, it is time to have a real fun, and you can play whatever you want.
A few days ago, Xu Changqing worked hard and had finished the land that should be plowed. He didn't have to deliberately accompany anyone tonight, so he found an excuse for official business and went to the inner study room first.
Watching Xu Changqing running directly towards the intermediate courtyard, Kong Sizhen, who had been staring at Xu Changqing in the corner, couldn't help but sneer: "Dong'e, have you seen it? The fox's tail is finally revealed! Let's keep up quickly!"
As he said that, he pulled Dong'e and chased him.
"Zhenzhen, this, this..."
Dong'e was a little frightened, but was pulled by Kong Sizhen to have no refutation.
Dong'e has been a little confused in the mansion these days, but Kong Sizhen is smart. Yesterday, he became almost familiar with the terrain of the mansion.
She grew up in Shenyang Imperial City since she was a child, and she still has a certain talent in this regard.
Even if he was half a beat slower than Xu Changqing, he could guess what kind of misfortune Xu Changqing would definitely go to his private study.
Even if she was caught, she was not afraid. She had already thought about the reason and invited Xu Changqing to their side tonight.
Perfect!
Even though it was a big night tonight, the defenses in the front yard of the Guandong Intermediate Court were still very tight, mostly female guards.
These female guards are basically the families and relatives of the model army's fallen son. They are strictly screened and carefully trained before they can be started. They may still lack the ability, but they are not even loyal.
Their interests have long been closely tied to Xu Changqing.
As soon as Dong'e saw these female guards who were patrolling back and forth, he became a little worried. Kong Sizhen was not guilty and directly used the reason she had already made up: "Dong'e and I want to invite the Marquis to spend the night in Yuyuan tonight."
"Uh, it's..."
The female guards knew their identities naturally and did not dare to blame them too much. They simply searched their bodies and let them go directly.
After passing through several lines of defense, they finally arrived at the small garden at the back door of the inner study room.
Next to a big tree, there is a small door that is used by wealthy families to hide their splendor in golden houses.
Kong Sizhen winked at Dong'e and pulled her and gently pushed open the small door.
When he came inside, Dong'e's heart was beating around 'bang' and almost couldn't breathe anymore. He hurriedly said: "Zhenzhen, let's not do anything randomly, right? What if the Marquis is angry..."
"Oh."
Kong Sizhen sneered: "Dong'e, don't be afraid. Even if he is angry, I have a way to deal with it! Don't worry, even if something really happens, I will take it all out!"
"this……"
Dong'e was too young, and Kong Sizhen was her only friend in this strange environment, so she could only nod.
...
Inside the study room.
Xu Changqing was leaning against the window, staring at the huge sand table.
Although the situation is good this year, it has reached a critical link in which quantitative change leads to qualitative change!
Even though there is no big problem with the general direction at this time, there are still many places that Xu Changqing needs to carefully consider in terms of details.
Note.
If you take a wrong step, money is a trivial matter, but it will waste precious time.
Even if Xu Changqing could not fully understand the situation of the entire world at this time, he understood that he could try his best to control the situation and avoid detours. When the Ming Dynasty and Han people broke out, they would have stronger spare energy.
In other words.
To be continued...
