Chapter 138: Going out of the house after fifteen

The joyful New Year's Eve passed, and when the sky brightened again, people who had not slept all night also saved the New Year's greetings from each family. They gathered together last night and had already worshiped each other, and the New Year's money they should have been given was also paid.

There are also many candies and other things sent by Zhang's family to the children in the village, which saved the children the money to buy candy. Each kid also gave five hundred firecrackers, and still a small bundle of incense, leaving them to disassemble and set aside.

Everyone went back to their own houses, and the house was temporarily placed here. They would have to be used again on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, which is the day of the Yuanxi Festival. Li Xun also took his people away and returned to the village. He made an appointment when he left and came again in two days.

The old man from Shangshu actually didn't feel tired all night. Perhaps it was caused by the constant show, especially the crosstalk and sketches interspersed in the singing and dancing programs, which made people laugh, the sleepiness on their bodies disappeared.

Manager Wang asked the old man to arrange someone to see him off at dawn. Since Li Xun told her not to say the wrong thing, she really couldn't say anything. Sitting there, except eating and thinking about things. Maybe the things that happened today had a big impact on her.

She also saw the enthusiasm of the people in the inner courtyard of Zhang and Wang’s family to do their work, and no one else had to care about it. She was always happy when she had work to do it.

Looking at the clothes they were wearing, the hairpin on their heads, their white skin, and their conversation and behavior, they didn't expect that this was the servants in the village.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan returned home and fell asleep. They were also tired. Butler Zhang came to ask when he had something to do. They also had to take care of every family, pick up food, talk about what made the family happy, and perform two small shows. After a while, the child's body finally couldn't hold on.

Dazao and Xiaozao didn't feel sleepy at all. They were always in excitement. Today, they not only took revenge on Manager Wang, but also followed Madam Qiao to do things here, slapped him, and said a few words of relief. In their eyes, they were the best revenge.

Qiu Ju yawned the two of them to the yard. In a yard where their maids lived, she arranged a room and took them to the warehouse to carry things. She also had three clothes, shoes, two beds of bedding and pillows, and tools for washing. She also received two sets of clothes.

They had no money themselves, so the owner gave him a silver hairpin and wanted to exchange it for good when they had money, but this was already very good for them.

Hand oil, some gadgets for daily maintenance, and some handicrafts for decorating rooms.

When Qiu Ju asked the two of them for some four treasures of the study, the two blinked their eyes and asked, "Did you mention it wrong? This thing should be used for the head of the family and the young master?"

"That's right, the master and the young master use better than ours. We use medium ones, they are collected from other places, cheaper, and they were left behind when they were advertising in Shuiyunjian last time. They have never been useful. It seems that you are illiterate anymore. In the future, you have to learn to do things in the yard. At least you have to know words, be able to write words, and be able to keep accounts.

The inner courtyard of Zhangjiazhuangzi may be sent out to do things in the future. If you know nothing, how can you let you go out? In addition to learning these, you have to learn something else. Don’t worry, if you have time to learn, especially during the night watch.

There are not many jobs in the yard, so when you have time, you have to study. The yard specially hired a master to teach us. If you don’t understand, ask the master. If the master can’t answer, he will ask the butler, master and wife.

If the housekeeper, the master and the wife can't answer it either, it means that the question you are asking is another aspect. You can ask the young master and the young lady. Basically, the question is not a problem."

Qiu Ju talked to Dazao and Xiaozao. The more they listened, the more surprised and happy they became. Many times they dreamed that they could learn to read, but when they woke up, they still lived. Now the two of them felt that they were dreaming, and they were afraid of dreaming too much.

"Let's go, don't stand here and dazed. You guys have to rest first. I'll go back and sleep for a while. I'll do things when I get up at noon. I'll take a rest in the New Year. Those who went to bed early last night have to get up and do things now."

Qiu Ju can understand the performance of the two people at the time. Not many people can let their maids learn these things, and they cannot be used, unless they are the personal maids of some young ladies. Everyone in the Zhang and Wang family has to learn it, and they can't do it even if they want to.

Dazao and Xiaozao returned to their house in a daze. After Qiuju told them that they must not go out to do things now and leave, the two sat on the warm kang and looked at each other, not knowing how to talk.

But I understand in my heart that being able to find such a master is a blessing I have cultivated in my previous life and I must do my best in the future.

After New Year's Eve, it's fifteenth. During these days, the sound of firecrackers has never stopped. The two little kids from the village can go to the grocery store to get 500 firecrackers every three days. Who asked the village to do this? There is no shortage of this thing. It is the wish of all adults to give children a happy New Year.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the three monks still agreed to spend together. As a result, on the thirteenth day, Ge Yingxi from the Ge family village came over and wanted to join. Now they became four monks together.

Ge Yingxi had no choice but to do anything, and the pressure was too great. The gathering of King Zhang and Li Sanjiazhuang on New Year's Eve made the villagers of Ge Jiazhuang very envious. If they had something to do or not, they would talk about this together.

After Ge Yingxi found out, he sighed that when the three families were rich and powerful, he had to find a way to do it again. There was a fifteenth day, and now he had to spend a lot of money. Seeing that the three farmers were going to be together again, he came over to discuss that this would save some.

After receiving the three families' approval, Ge Yingxi trotted back to his farm and immediately asked the people in the inner courtyard to go out for advertisements. Now he would use this word and tell the merchant that the lanterns on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month are distributed by the owner's family, and each one is a family. As for new clothes, they are not needed. They are given during the Chinese New Year. They can't wear them for fifteen days and become old.

There are also firecrackers, just like lanterns, the Zhang family gave Ge Yingxi the cost price. Ge Yingxi did not forget the effect of the Zhang family's head illuminating the starry sky at this time last year. He also made people thorn torches. On August 15th last year, there was a moon in the sky.

Judging from the situation where clouds cover the moon on August 15th and snow turn on the lights on the lanterns on the 15th of the 10th of the 10th of the 10th of the 10th of the 10th of the 10th of the 10th of the 10th of the 10th of the 10th of the 10th of the 10th of the 10th of the 10th of the 10th of the 10th of the 10th of the 10th of the 10th of the 10th of the 10th of the 10th of the 10th of the 10th of the 10th of the 10th of the 10th of the 10th of the 10th of the 10th of the 10th of the 10th of the 10th of the 10th of the 10th of the 10th of the 1

After finishing all this, Ge Yingxi breathed a sigh of relief, sat at the door, looked at the bridge, and muttered, "I've been hurt by you."

I looked at the happy smiles on my farm again, and muttered, "But I think I can take it out and I actually earn more."

This fifteenth year, the old man from Shangshu naturally took his family to participate. He is the most satisfied with Zhangjiazhuang now. Except when he was walking around, the people he saw were all happy on his face. Everyone was happy, and he was happy to see him.

"Kang'er, have you seen it? This is the heart of the people. What the Zhang and Wang families do is to win the hearts of the people. Other families dare not do this like them, but they can make the people eat and wear warm clothes. You think of the people in your heart, and the people think of you in your heart."

When the old man saw such a farmhouse, he said to his son beside him.

Kanger nodded, "Dad, I know, I will definitely be a good official in the future, not be greedy for a penny, and think about the people all day long."

"I'm wrong. I won't let you be an official like this. Do you see the magistrate of County Cheng? Just be an official like him. You won't be short of money, and you can get a good reputation. The people under your rule will live a good life."

The old man has been an official for so many years, how could he not know which one is the most popular? County Magistrate Jia just didn't figure it out. He was far inferior to County Magistrate Cheng. As long as he did things steadily and made Sanshui County go further, he would not have less money and political achievements. Why bother?

"Dad, County Magistrate Cheng has just made some political achievements. They are greedy." Kang'er asked in confusion.

The old man smiled and said, "He is not greedy for the people's money. He is greedy for the money of Zhangjiazhuangzi. Do you know what he did when he went to Kyoto? He visited Shangguan one by one and organized poetry meetings. He spread Zhang Zhong's poems every time and went to various restaurants to entertain others. Do you think he has so much money?"

"Ah? So much money? The child understands, it was the money given to him by the Zhang family." The kanger now understood that as long as he had something to do with some wealthy families in the local area, helped them do some small things, and then improved the lives of the local people, then this official would be a good official.

The old man taught his son with the hearts of the people of Zhangjiazhuang, and the night slowly came. When it was dark, torches on the four villages were lit, and countless lanterns were carried by people, gathering towards the small bridge. Looking from the upstairs between the water and clouds, it was very spectacular.

"Let's go, grandpa, let's go down too." The old man's granddaughter saw so many lanterns and torches, and pulled grandpa out, and the other family members followed behind him.

Zhang Xiaobao also has an event this time, not the kind of staying up all night, and he made riddles for everyone to guess and get a prize. In this way, the people from the Zhang and Wang families took advantage of it. After all, there are many people studying and they have been studying longer. Unless a miracle occurs, they will be the ones who will take the lead.

The old man also guessed a few, won the lanterns and small toys for his granddaughter, so he stopped guessing and let others play with it. With his ability, he guessed this not-so-hard riddle, which was bullying, and this riddle was prepared for the merchants.

After a lot of fun, everyone dispersed again, and their joy and expectations for tomorrow hung the lanterns under the eaves of their house.
