Chapter 217 Six Years of Spring

Fangjiazhuang.

The villagers are particularly busy.

On the one hand, as the end of the year approaches, the vegetable business is getting better and better. Medium-sized families who used to be reluctant to eat can also try it out while they are in the holidays.

The villagers are also afraid of being poor, so of course they are unwilling to miss this great opportunity to make money, and they want to make more money at this time.

On the other hand, all households are preparing for the holiday. The profits on the farm this year are good. Of course, you have to have a good New Year to be worthy of the hard work of the year.

This time, they finally gritted their teeth and "luxury".

It is said to be a luxury, but in fact it is just a few more kilograms of meat, and it is still the cheapest pork. Because Fang Yiai brought his cooking skills across time and space, pork is no longer considered cheap meat, but the price is not as good as mutton after all.

Of course, Fang Yiai was not stingy. Each family sent some meat to him, which was enough for the villagers to have a good New Year.

The fragrance is everywhere in the village, and Fang Yiai is a good person to eat. Fang Mansion never lacks delicious food, so naturally each family has learned a lot.

Susan led Qiaoer and the others to prepare New Year’s goods for the holidays and gifts for New Year’s greetings.

On New Year's Eve, the family should have reunion, but because Fang Yiai was confined, he had to spend the day in the village. He had to worship his ancestors on this day, and Fang Xuanling had to attend the grand ceremony the next day, so he had to stay in the city.

After getting busy, there was no time to play. Fang Yiai was lying on the bed alone, a little bored.

This was his first year in the Tang Dynasty. He originally wanted to understand the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty's New Year, but his injuries were not good and he could only lie on the kang. Moreover, it was still during his confinement and could not leave the gate of the Fang Mansion, so he could only wait for the next year.

With each other's busy schedule, New Year's Eve arrived quietly...

Even on New Year's Eve, the villagers of Fangjiazhuang were still busy and did not rest until evening, but the women at home had already prepared the New Year's Eve dinner.

Fang Mansion.

Inside the house, there was a steaming hot area.

In order to take care of Fang Yiai, this New Year's Eve dinner was eaten in the bedroom. Of course, there was also a banquet in the mansion, and the maids and servants in the mansion gathered together.

They couldn't hide the smiles on their faces, because today not only were there new clothes to wear, but they also received a "red envelope" when they greeted the young master and his wife.

Just now, Qiao'er has become a little rich fan. She keeps touching her newly-collection purse and smiles from ear to ear. Her natural thicker is naturally much thicker.

Fang Yiai reached out to snatch her, which scared her to dodge her quickly. After dodging, she realized that the young master was teasing her and said angrily, "Young master hates it!"

As the hostess, Susan showed her face outside and rushed back.

For Fang Yiai, a later generation, dumplings are naturally indispensable during the Chinese New Year, so in the middle of the dining table, there is a plate of steaming dumplings.

Dumplings were not rare in the Tang Dynasty. They have appeared since the Han Dynasty. When they were passed down to the Tang Dynasty, they looked no different from later generations, but they were called "Curvey Moon-shaped Wontons".

The whole family stays up to the New Year together.

When bells and drums came from Chang'an, he knew that the hour had arrived, and it was already the sixth year of Zhenguan.

A servant in the yard ignited "firecrackers". The bamboos "cracked" in the fire, and the sound was a little dull, and it was not as loud as the firecrackers.

Fang Yiai did not use gunpowder as firecrackers.

First, because Li Shimin asked for confidentiality, he dared not provoke Li Er now, for fear of being grabbed by his braid and taking it out. Second, he didn't want to let the gunpowder spread, become a weapon for aliens and attacking his own people in the future.

The first day of the Lunar New Year.

On this day, Fang Yiai rarely got up to bed in the morning.

He had no choice but to learn that he was spending the New Year in the village, and the villagers were so excited.

I will definitely come to pay New Year's greetings this morning. He doesn't want people to be stuck in bed. How can he maintain his glorious image as a young master?

Although, after he got up, he was still lying on the kang...

As soon as I had breakfast, a group of children ran in and bowed to the end and said in unison: "I wish you a young master, a young lady, a new day, a lot of children and a lot of blessings!"

Fang Yiai smiled unnaturally. He was a human being in two lives. He was also the first time he was an elder to accept New Year greetings from others. It was quite novel...

Susan made preparations in advance. The children who came to pay New Year's greetings each had a "red envelope" and the money was not much, only one or two yuan.

He knew very well the principle of "supreme a mie and fighting against a mie hatred".

However, this is already a lot of money for children from poor families. Although the village has become rich this year, the villagers are used to hard life and their lives are still very frugal.

The children are also very strict. Although they don’t have to worry about food and clothing, it’s hard to have money in their hands.

Seeing them one by one, they laughed so hard that they were grinning to the back of their heads. They bowed a few more times and said a lot of auspicious words before they jumped away.

However, they were not happy for too long. I heard that most of the money fell into the hands of their parents, saying that they were kept for them to study.

It's almost noon.

Susan also took a carriage back to Chang'an. She wanted to go back to pay New Year's greetings to Fang Xuanling and Lu. In the afternoon, she went to some elders' homes to pay New Year's greetings on behalf of Fang Yiai.

As Fang Yiai's apprentice, Li Tai and Li Chunfeng came to the mansion together shortly after Susan left.

Li Chunfeng has been busy with the Ministry of Works, and Li Tai hasn't come for a long time since the last conflict. Today, when he saw Fang Yiai, he also had a cold face.

Fang Yiai could understand, and after a few greetings with them, she couldn't help asking: "Qingque, Changle... Princess, how are she doing?"

He had to worry about it, and he was still blaming himself. He didn't dare to inquire from other places, worried about being used by those who were interested.

Fortunately, no worse news has been heard.

Li Chunfeng looked at his master with deep meaning, his eyes were extremely complicated, and he couldn't help thinking: "Can you be sure, Master and Princess Changle, really..."

Thinking of this, he was already dry and quickly cut off this thought. He didn't dare to think about it anymore. He always felt a chill around his neck.

It's really too dangerous!

On the contrary, the little fat man did not express surprise. He seemed to have expected this, but his face was a little dark.

"It's mute! You said it!"

After not seeing the answer for a long time, Fang Yiai couldn't help but urge him. Due to the pressure of his master, Li Tai said with a stern face: "Sister Changle is living a good life, please don't bother her again."

“That’s good.”

Hearing this, he breathed a little relieved.

Seeing the two apprentices looking at him, he took off his airs as a teacher, cleared his throat and said, "After the New Year, the official road is ready to bid. When everything comes back to life, work will start, so you will be very busy. After this matter, you will be taught a new lesson to your teacher and you will be able to achieve the feat of flying."

"Disciples must do their best."

Li Chunfeng said excitedly that everyone in the world has a dream of flying, not to mention that he is a Taoist priest who is full of yearning for "God of Heaven".

Hearing this, the frost on Li Tai's face melted away, but he didn't want to be too excited and seemed too flattering, so he just held it.
