Chapter 63: New Year's Greetings

ps: Thanks to the brothers who rewarded: the sorrow of the rose, the little bone bookworm!

......

"How did Chang Yao die?"

Fang Xing felt a layer of fine sweat appear on his back. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Chang Yao is the official of the Shuntian Mansion, which is equivalent to the president of the court of the municipality directly under the central government. This man usually looks strong and healthy, and I haven't heard that he has a hidden disease.

Who could it be? Fang Xing had a headache, but he didn't see Xin Laoqi's somewhat strange expression.

"Young master, after I heard the news, I went to the side of Chang's house to inquire, and it turned out that Chang Yao was fine that morning, but he died after breakfast."

Fang Xing and Xin Laoqi glanced at each other, "Is that the day you went to deliver the letter?" ā€

"Yes, that morning."

Fang Xing waved his hand to let Xin Laoqi go back, but he was a little lonely and proud.

"I'll let a pusher hang me with a letter, it's not worse than Zhuge Liang!"

That letter was sent by Fang Xing to Xin Laoqi, originally intended to hold Chang Yao back, and wait until those assassins were handed over to Zhu Zhanji, and then make plans.

But who would have thought that Zhu Zhanji would actually go back to Jinling with the prince, Fang Xing still felt a little numb at that time, but now it was refreshing.

But what about those assassins?

Fang Xing scratched his head a little, but Jay Fang, who knew the news, had an idea.

"Young master, no one will find out about selling them to those traffickers."

Fang Xing asked, "What human trafficker?" Where can it be sold? ā€

Jay Fang's face showed a ruthless look, in the three years of filial piety, if he hadn't been ruthless, I was afraid that Fangjiazhuang would have been swallowed up a long time ago.

"Young master, I heard that there is a family that specializes in handling the private affairs of those big families. As soon as they buy people, they will drug them and send them to the mines......"

Those big families have some unsightly things, and of course they must be cautious in dealing with people, so such a business was born.

Fang Xing was a little hesitant, but thinking that those people were all here with the purpose of wanting their own lives, he finally agreed to this treatment plan.

Jay Fang greeted Xin Laoqi and disappeared with his family.

Can't let the thief stay in the village for the New Year, this is Jay Fang's wish.

After Fang Jay left, Fang Xing was stunned for a long time, until Xiaobai came to inform him that he was going to prepare something to worship his ancestors, and then he shook his head and walked out of the study.

In the north, it is the first day of the new year to worship ancestors, and if the conditions are good, you have to prepare three animals, so you have to start preparing from today.

Fang Xing didn't understand, Zhang Shuhui was also a novice, so he didn't find his feeling until Jay Fang came back.

"I'm so tired!"

The dinner was very rich, because Fang Xing had celebrated the Chinese New Year's Eve before, so although tonight's dish was not dazzling, it was very real.

A copper pot sits on top of a charcoal stove, and the milky white soup base inside is gurgling hot.

The square table in the middle of the digging room was full of meat and vegetables, Fang Xing took a few slices of mutton into it, and beckoned: "You two hurry up, this mutton slice is not delicious when it is old." ā€

Zhang Shuhui and Xiaobai each put their favorite vegetables in the pot, and after they were blanched, they were dipped in hoisin sauce and eaten, which was extremely delicious.

The mutton slices entered his mouth, Fang Xing took a sip of wine, looked at the wife and concubine with peach blossom faces on the opposite side, and felt that he was already a little drunk.

"Husband, it's not enough to just eat meat."

Zhang Shuhui sandwiched a piece of boiled soft glutinous potato slices and put it in Fang Xing's bowl, and then saw that Xiaobai was also dumbfounded, so she smiled and gave her a slice.

This is still a child who has not grown up!

After eating, the family went to bed early.

……

Early the next morning, before dawn, Fangjiazhuang was boiling, and every household began to worship their ancestors.

Under the guidance of Jay Fang, Fang Xing and Zhang Shuhui used three animals to worship their ancestors, and also cut straw paper, and finally completed the ceremony.

These three animals will be kept for three days, and then burned to ashes, probably the same as the paper money burned in the future, thinking that this will be sent to the ancestors.

Then in the front yard, Fang Xing sat on a chair, led by Jay Fang, and the farmers of Fangjiazhuang paid New Year's greetings to Fang Xing, the main family.

Fang Xing nodded, called everyone, and then said with a smile: "I also wish everyone an auspicious New Year and a bumper harvest in the new year." ā€

Then there were the servants and maids, and this time even Zhang Shuhui was present.

After the New Year's greetings, Zhang Shuhui took out the red envelopes prepared last night and sent one to each person.

"Okay, I'm going out to pay New Year's greetings, and I'll come back and bring you good things."

Fang Xing saw that Zhang Shuhui and Xiaobai were a little in good spirits, so he let them sleep back. As for whether it is in line with the rules or not, he is the boss in this family, and everything he says is the rules.

The rule in the north is to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year, and when you meet elders on the street, you have to kneel down on the street to pay New Year's greetings.

Fortunately, Fang Xing only needed to go to one house, so he rode a big white horse and entered Beiping City under the escort of Xin Laoqi.

Chen Xiao's family lives in the official palace area, don't look at it now, but when the capital moves to Beiping Mansion, the land here will be appreciated with the dough.

When he arrived at the gate, after the porter saw that it was Fang Xing, he didn't even use the New Year's greeting register, so he directly asked Fang Xing to take Xin Laoqi in, and asked someone to lead the horse to feed him a good meal.

Fang Xing smiled, directly threw a silver horn over, and then took a big wooden box in Xin Laoqi's hand and carried it in with difficulty.

"Thank you for your son's reward!"

The concierge is also interesting, because today is the first day of the new year, so there is no taboo for him to receive a reward.

Fang Xing arrived in the backyard and happened to see Chen Xiao's mother Ma Shi coming, so he put the wooden box on the ground and bowed down to greet the New Year.

Ma Shi was startled by Fang Xing, who suddenly appeared, and only after seeing it clearly did he pretend to be disgusted: "You kid, you don't usually come, but you're here to ask for a reward at this time!" ā€

Fang Xing straightened up with a smile and joked, "That's, my uncle has prepared a big ingots for me?" ā€

Hearing what Fang Xing said interestingly, even the maid who was holding Ma couldn't help but purse her lips and smile.

"You kid, hurry up and go in, your uncle just hasn't gone out yet!"

As the general judgment of Shuntian Mansion, Chen Jiahui had to go to Shangguan to pay New Year's greetings today, so after seeing Fang Xing come in with a wooden box, he frowned and said, "What is that?" ā€

Fang Xing pretended not to see Chen Xiao who was frowning on the side, opened the wooden box and said, "The little nephew has prepared some food, which can be regarded as honoring his uncle and aunt." ā€

As soon as Ma heard this, he took a look, and it turned out that he didn't know many things.

Fang Xing introduced: "This is foie gras, which is the best way to eat steamed buns." ā€

Nima! If people in the future knew that Fang Xing used foie gras to sandwich steamed buns, they would probably have to despise it.

"This is a hairy crab, steam it in water at will, dip it in ginger vinegar and wine, even my uncle and aunt can eat it."

"This is a plate duck, and my uncle is the best for drinking."

"It's ......"

Chen Jiahui and Ma were relatively speechless, thinking to themselves, where did they get the ingredients?

Ma Shi was the first to wake up, and she said with a smile: "Okay, it just so happens that your uncle is not at home at noon, so let's eat together." ā€

Fang Xing hurriedly said: "There is one more thing to tell my uncle and aunt, I will go to the capital after the year." ā€
