After returning to the capital, Lin Jue wanted to report the matter to Fang Dunru and Yan Zhengsu several times, but he never got the right opportunity. Fang Dunru and Yan Zhengsu seemed to be even busier since they came back from the inspection below, and Lin Jue had no choice but to put this matter aside for the time being.

On the twenty-third day of the lunar month, on the day of the new year, Shen Tan came back from Hangzhou and told Lin Jue in detail the news that the little county lord had arrived in Hangzhou safely, and Lin Jue's heart was completely let go.

After the New Year, the New Year is approaching, although the hostess is not at home, but under the auspices of Green Dance, the preparations for the New Year in the house are still in full swing. Every day, Lu Wu and Qianqian were nowhere to be seen, and before dark, the two of them always came back with a cart of things with red faces and screaming. Arouse the crowd of servants in the courtyard.

Lin Jue was speechless about this, and inadvertently checked the things they bought and found that many of them were luxury goods. Originally, I also lamented that Green Dance has also changed, and those who used to spend money to buckle the rope will not be willing to buy these useless things at all. Later, when I inquired, I found out that it was all Qianqian insisted on buying, and Green Dance really couldn't resist her, so she could only fulfill her wish.

"I've wanted to change these lights for a long time." Qianqian said.

As a result, the lanterns in the corridors of the inner and outer courtyards of the house have been replaced with a new batch of palace lights.

"I've long seen that these furnishings don't look good." Qianqian said again.

As a result, the tables and chairs in several flower hall houses have been renovated.

Lin Jue was speechless at this little girl, but he felt that it was nothing. It doesn't cost a few bucks, just end up happy. Besides, Qianqian is also quite tasteful, and the replacement of the furnishings is still quite suitable. It's just right, and it feels good.

Qianqian also knew how to take proportions, and the furnishings in the courtyard of the back house where Lin Jue and the little county lord lived did not move at all. The hostess is not at home, but her identity and majesty are still there, and if she rashly moves the furnishings in her room, she is afraid that she will be deflated when she turns back.

Under the call of Green Dance, on the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, the Lin family launched a large-scale cleaning and recuperation activity. The yamen happened to be on holiday today, and Lin Jue was driven around at home, and there was no place to stay. In the end, he simply took Lin Hu to Xishuimen to find his brother Ma Bin for a drink. When I came back in the evening, the mansion was completely renewed, with red lanterns shining on the red pillars and green glass reflecting the green glass through the green screens. The ground is clean, the flowers and trees are repaired, and the already exquisite house is like a fairyland in a painting. Lin Jue's feet fell somewhere.

In the midst of the bustle and hustle and bustle, the New Year of the sixth year of Da Zhou Qingfeng is approaching in the blink of an eye. The atmosphere of the New Year of the Great Zhou Dynasty is already very strong, pasting Spring Festival couplets, setting off firecrackers, greeting New Year's stickers, and sending red envelopes. Some of the basic customs of the New Year in later generations were already formed in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Three days after the Grand Theater recessed, Lin Jue took Xie Yingying, Qin Xiaoxiao and others to their home for the New Year. The reason for picking up Qin Xiaoxiao was to reunite their sisters, otherwise Bai Bing would have to celebrate the New Year with Qin Xiaoxiao, and Lin Jue felt a little less fun.

On the evening of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, although the hostess was far away in Hangzhou, it still did not prevent everyone from having a lively reunion dinner. Even because the hostess was not there, everyone let go a little, drank to the fullest, and did not have to be too careful in speaking.

And they ate and drank until the hour of the child was over, and they all celebrated the New Year, and then they dispersed. Lin Jue drank the wine and was full of interest, and he was dizzy and wanted to have a night talk, but Bai Bing accompanied Qin Xiaoxiao to sleep, and Qianqian pulled Lu Wu away. Xie Yingying actually wants to go back to the apricot garden, where is Lin Jue willing to follow. At that moment, he pulled Xie Yingying back to the room, tossed it around, and then fell asleep contentedly.

At dawn, the sound of firecrackers outside failed to wake Lin Jue, but the slightest coolness on his face woke Lin Jue up. Lin Jue opened his eyes in a daze, and saw a big eye staring at him up close, and he jumped up in fright.

"Hahaha." Holding a bamboo pipe in her hand, she leaned back and smiled towards Lin Jue's blowing Qianqian.

"What for?" Lin Jue shouted. Looking around left and right, Xie Yingying was no longer around, she should have already gotten up.

"Happy New Year, Master Lin, get up quickly. How can you, the head of the family, lie in bed on the first day of the new year, the whole family is waiting to give you a red envelope for the New Year, do you want to sleep and hide? Qianqian laughed loudly.

Lin Jue smiled bitterly: "Qianqian, why are you trespassing, this is my bedroom, why are you so ignorant of the rules." ”

Qianqian said indifferently: "What's this?" They won't come in and wake you up, so I'll have to come in and call you. I didn't touch you, I didn't peek at you, I just blew a few breaths in your face, you big man cares so much. ”

Lin Jue was speechless, until she took possession, this little girl was very eccentric and naughty, so it was better to teach her a lesson.

"Qianqian, how do I know you didn't peek at me? I'm sleeping naked, you little girl, don't you? Do you want to see it? Okay, I'll let you see enough. ”

Lin Jue made a gesture to lift the quilt covering his lower body, Qianqian was shocked, covered her face and rushed out screaming, Lin Jue laughed.

There was a cry of inquiry outside, presumably someone else asking what was going on. Lin Jue got up satisfied. He was indeed naked, and he slept with Xie Yingying several times last night, of course, naked. But he wouldn't take the quilt seriously, otherwise Qianqian would have nightmares for a few days. Although teasing this underage little Lori in this way was a little excessive, it somehow made Lin Jue feel better.

After dressing and washing, when I came outside, the women's volleyball team sat in a row under the corridor, competing like a group of flowers and butterflies. They all wore new clothes that were specially cut for the New Year, tailor-made in the colours of their own choosing. Lin Jue suspected that they had gotten up so early to put on their beautiful new clothes in a hurry.

"Happy New Year, Childe." When the women saw Lin Jue come out, they got up and saluted.

"Okay, new year, new atmosphere, more and more beautiful." Lin Jue nodded with a smile, and looked over one by one, Lu Wu was wearing an emerald green heart, delicate and lovely. Xie Yingying was wearing a red brocade robe, beautiful and moving. Bai Bing is dressed in a pink and white robe, as delicate as a pink plum blossom in the snow. This scene is really pleasing to the eye.

Green Dance combed Lin Jue's hair bun, and everyone followed Lin Jue to the front hall, Lin Jue personally offered incense, paid tribute, and bowed to the spiritual position of the ancestors and parents of the Lin family, and then came to the front hall steps.

In the courtyard, Lin Hu had already summoned dozens of servants and maids from the Lin family to wait here. These people are wearing new clothes and hats, and they are waiting with great anticipation. I knew a few days ago that Lin Gongzi was going to give out big red envelopes in the New Year this year, so everyone was looking forward to it.

"Happy New Year, everyone." Lin Jue wore a melon skin hat and a blue flower robe, living like a rich man.

"Give the lord a New Year's greeting, the lord is promoted to become rich, his wife is beautiful, his children and grandchildren are extended, and he is full of blessings." Everyone said in unison.

Lin Jue laughed and glanced at Xiaohu, Xiaohu blinked proudly, this is exactly the lip gloss of the people he taught.

"Hahaha, well, you are also rich, and you are also blessed. Xiaohu, where is the red envelope ready? Don't pick it up yet. Lin Jue said with a smile.

Lin Hu promised loudly, and as soon as he waved his hand, several servants carried several large baskets from the side, and the bamboo poles were heavy, and the baskets were full of red cloth bags.

"Wow!" The crowd's eyes widened and they screamed.

"Come on, let's send red envelopes together. Green Dance, Yingying, Bing'er, and Qianqian help together. Lin Jue greeted with a smile.

Several people hurriedly stepped forward, stood on the first step with Lin Jue, and picked up the bag containing real gold, white eyes and red cloth, and there was a tempting sound of silver two pounding inside. Lin Hu picked up the roster and called someone on the side. The servants of the Lin family stepped forward in turn, took the two bags of red silk and silver from Lin Jue and the others, and smiled from ear to ear.

"Thank you, sir. The old man lived a long life. This was said to Lin Jue, and Lin Jue accepted it calmly.

"Thank you, little lady, little lady is the best." This was said to Midori Dance, and Midori took it lightly.

"Thank you...... Yingying girl, I wish Yingying girl to be famous all over the world, and the business of the Grand Theater is booming. This was said to Xie Yingying, who smiled and nodded.

"Thank you, Miss Bai, I hope Miss Bai will marry our master soon." This was said to Bai Bing, Bai Bing's face was flushed and he twisted.

"Thank you, Miss Qianqian......" this was said to Qianqian.

Qianqian is gone. Said to the little guy in front of him: "Hey, why don't you have a lipstick here?" Bully me. Not! ”

The little guy was only fifteen or sixteen years old, a little servant who pulled horses and fed horses, and he didn't dare to speak when he saw the people in the inner house on weekdays.

"Qianqian, don't bully him." Midori laughed.

"Why, you all have people wishing this and that, don't say a word about this wood, just take it and leave, this can't be done." Qianqian shouted unrelentingly.

Lin Jue smiled and said to the little guy: "You just say a good word, save trouble." ”

The little guy stumbled for a long time, blushing and stammering, "Congratulations...... Wish...... Miss Qianqian...... Give birth to a noble son early! ”

"Hahaha."

"Hehehe."

"Hee-hee-hee."

For a while, dozens of people in the courtyard burst into laughter, and some even burst into tears. Qianqian cried for a long time, stomped her foot and pointed at the little guy and shouted: "Okay, wow, you wait for me, I won't teach Xiaohu to beat your ass when I turn back." You bully me, you bully me. ”

Lin Juexiao's stomach hurt, and Lu Wu hugged Qianqian to comfort her, which calmed Qianqian's anger.

After the red envelopes were distributed, Lin Jue spread paper and pen in the hall and began to write New Year's greetings. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, you can't visit the door, but the New Year's sticker still has to be sent, which is nothing more than greetings. Like Mr. Fang, Yan Zhengsu and Guo Kun, as well as former colleagues and current colleagues in the Yamen, they all want to send their names. The senior official position is higher than Lin Jue, such as Fang Dunru solemnly suppresses them, and they will only write back and forth when they receive a famous post. So Lin felt that he should hurry up and write a prayer post.

In fact, there were not many acquaintances, so Lin Jue quickly wrote a stack and handed it to Lin Hu to send his servants to ride horses and send them separately. Turning his head to drink tea, he discussed with the women about going there in the afternoon, whether to go to the temple fair or to the Bianhe River to see the New Year's activities. was discussing it to a heated point, but I heard the servant report that the little prince Guo Kun was visiting.

Lin Jue was very puzzled, why did this eldest brother come to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year? If you want to worship, you should go and see him first. It's weird, too.
