Chapter 649: Chinese New Year's Eve for All
Chapter 649: Chinese New Year's Eve for All
When the Chinese New Year's Eve of the fifteenth year of Zhenguan came, Chang'an City remembered the rumbling bamboo cannons, and among these sounds, it was amazing to Fangfu.
The common people didn't know what the bamboo cannon in the house was made of, and the sound was like thunder, and the house trembled three times.
Since Fang Yiai invented the Fangfu Gala, this special entertainment has been retained, and of course, the old man and the Lu family are also the biggest fans of the party. This year's party is more exciting than in previous years, because there are several rare performers on the stage this year, Youlan's dance, Wang Danyi's qin, and Li Xueyan's sword. In short, Fang Yiai didn't dare to go up and be embarrassed, except for replying to those few songs and playing with knives, he really had nothing to do.
The party won a burst of enthusiastic applause, after all, the old man is old, as soon as the time arrived, he and the Lu family went back to the room to rest, as for the young people, they still continue to play, but Changle and Linglong are not so casual.
As the key protection object of the housing government, no matter what Linglong and Changle do, they are watched by the old mother, but this old mother was personally arranged by the Lu family, and the two of them can't resist even if they want to.
When the trouble reached the fast time, Fang Zhizhi issued an order to disperse, and the people scattered, and Fang Zhizhi pulled Fang Zhizhi to run the living room to roast the fire, and kept vigil on Chinese New Year's Eve, but the habits of the two brothers over the years, even if they became married and had a daughter-in-law, the two of them have not changed.
"Second brother, after the New Year, Zuo Wuwei will be transferred back to Chang'an, and when the time comes, you will have to be busy!"
"Hehe, even if there is no Zuo Wuwei, you can't live in peace, the case in Luozhou is still pressing, if it is not solved, Your Majesty will definitely urge it!" Fang Yiai is not optimistic at all, no matter what, as long as it has something to do with the monkey spirit, it will definitely be complicated, I want to find out, unless the monkey spirit is stupid.
"Well, second brother, you don't have to worry too much, the matter of the monkey spirit has been investigated for several years, and your majesty won't be too urging if you want to come!"
"Big brother, don't just talk about me, what about you? Has your sister-in-law been pestering you every day lately? Fang Yiai smiled evilly, and his eyes were still squeezed.
As soon as she heard this, Fang Zhizhi was depressed, since Changle and Linglong were pregnant, Du Shi was stimulated, as long as there was no menstrual affairs, she had to come back almost every day, according to her meaning, if she didn't make some movement, she wouldn't stop.
"You still say, if there is no movement, there is no movement, and if there is movement, it is two people, but it is bitter to be a brother. When your sister-in-law looks at me now, it's like seeing a lamb, and she is a little scared of being a brother! ”
"Haha, big brother, do you want the little brother to get you some medicine to make up?" There are a lot of medicines in Fang Yiai's hands, like what is related to Yang Dan, Fierce Tiger Whip, anyway, messy things, Wen Luo can pour them out.
Fang Yizhi smiled bitterly, and scolded with a fire stick, "Get out, do you still need that thing for my brother, don't be too happy, if some whole two girls come, your mother will have to urge you!" ”
Laughing, midnight came, this time Fang Yiai personally lit the largest firecracker in the house, the cannon bamboo is enough to have three taels of gunpowder, that loud noise, so that the four families and eight neighbors are a little inferior. Especially in the Cheng Mansion in the south, listening to the loud noise, Cheng Biting Jin came up on Cheng Chumo's head, "Idiot, listen, how capable Fang Jun is, when can you make such a loud noise." ”
Cheng Chumo was very unhappy in his heart, why did this father mention Brother Jun every day. Cheng Chuliang is worthy of being a concubine, that brain melon seed is a good one, seeing that the ancestor has signs of making a fortune, he hurriedly said, "Father, why are you angry, Brother Jun is your son-in-law, there is a way to be a son-in-law and half a son, with Brother Jun's surname, isn't it your son." ”
"Well, that makes sense, hahahaha" Cheng Biting Jin was very useful, and laughed with a big belly, Cheng Biting Jin After the rain was clear, the two brothers of the Cheng family gave a thumbs up together at the stroke.
The house was full of joy, but only Xu Hui was still that faint look, and now Xu Xian has also returned to Jiangnan, as the second daughter of the Xu family, Xu Xian has no reason to stay in the Fang family for the New Year.
When many people had fallen asleep, Xu Hui still didn't feel sleepy at all, she opened her eyes and looked at the carvings on the bed. The little wooden box that once belonged to her was gone, and the saddling poison was naturally gone. She knew that Fang Yiai was angry, but what she wanted was this effect, and when she saw Fang Yiai's angry appearance, she felt a kind of happiness in her heart.
Once, she thought that she was simply because of hatred, but when the bereaved love left and there was no one in the house, she had a feeling of loneliness in her heart. When there is no one, she can't be happy anymore, even if Fang Yiai is so angry that she vomits blood, she is still not happy. I always felt that I could control myself, but for more than a year, she still fell into the West Cross Courtyard.
Thinking about his thoughts, Xu Hui put on his clothes and stepped on embroidered shoes to the cabinet next to the couch, which was more than one person tall and had an oval roof on it. Standing on tiptoe, Xu Hui reached out and touched the top of the cupboard.
In a thick piece of yellow paper, there is a beautiful painting. There is a woman in the painting, this woman has phoenix eyes and bright eyes, and her eyebrows are like mountains, and the woman in this painting is Xu Hui. I remember that during the Lantern Festival, Fang Yiai asked Yan Guoshou to paint this painting, and at that time he also accepted a student named Di Renjie, but unfortunately, Fang Yiai was very shameless and accepted Di Renjie, but he never taught him anything.
Xu Hui touched the face of the person in the painting, and there was a joy in her heart, she felt that she was very conflicted, even she didn't know what to do, that day, she seemed to tell Fang Zhiai that she had nothing to do with Kangzan, but when she saw Fang Yiai's cold gaze, she swallowed the words.
On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the cold wind blew on the lintel, Xu Hui didn't know what the future would be, in short, she couldn't escape the West Cross Courtyard in this life, unless it was death.
Winter is cold, but for people on Chinese New Year's Eve, it is warm, they either sleep, or around the charcoal basin to say these words, there is nostalgia for the past, there is hope for the coming year.
Wu Cao is a special woman, since she was sensible, she has longed for a different life, but when she grew up, she realized how ridiculous these ideas were. This person, every step he takes, he must think clearly, once he takes the wrong path, it will be difficult to turn back.
For others, the Chinese New Year is a thing worth celebrating, but for Wu Cao, it is meaningless. In addition to being one year old, what is the point, Xikuan Courtyard can't go back, Yangzhou can't go back, when she walked into the Changsun Mansion, the result was already doomed. Sister Wu Shun is a strong and assertive person, she almost regards her brother-in-law as her own, how can she allow her sister to come together with the eldest grandson's family?
Changsun Chong once came to the inn, and he wanted to invite Wu Cao to the house, but Wu Cao resolutely refused. She wasn't holding any illusions, but she didn't want Changsun Chong to be too proud, for men, things that are too easy to get are often not cherished.
Walking on the street, a cold wind blew, Wu Cao hugged her arms, at this moment, on the desolate road, she was so lonely. It's been so cold and cold, and before that, my brother-in-law would have put a cloak on her, but now I can only hug myself. The cold wind was cold, but it was not dry, and Wu Cao knew that it was about to snow, maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow.
Thoughts are a raging spring, and they are not stained with tears until they are needed. Wu Cao has never longed for warmth like now, she needs a hug, or a shoulder, this person must be strong and confident. Look at the lantern at the gate of the house in the distance, there is a big house word written there, and there are a few people who point bamboo cannons at the door, they are so happy. I don't know what it will be like in two years, maybe by then, she will have become the young lady of the Changsun Mansion. Although she is grateful to Changsun Chong, Wu Cao knows very well in her heart that Changsun Chong is not the man she wants, her man must be a hero who stands up to the sky, a man who can suppress her Wu Cao, but Changsun Chong can't do this.
If there is a chessboard, then Wu Cao is a chess player, and Changsun Chong is the most dazzling chess piece, although the chess piece is dazzling, but it is a chess piece after all.
After pausing for a while, Wu Cao silently walked towards the road he had come from, and on the way, the patrol soldiers did not meet, but ran into a few beggars on the street, one of whom was a young child holding a bowl and squatting in the corner. Without much thought, Wu Cao threw all the copper coins on her body into the child's bowl, in fact, Wu Cao didn't have much money on her, but she didn't care, because she just wanted to make herself smile.
"Thank you" The little beggar had tears in his eyes, how difficult it was to meet a good person on this Chinese New Year's Eve. The little beggar had never seen so many years, dozens of wen, enough for him to live for two months.
"No thanks, I want to thank you" Wu Cao smiled, although it was night, and he couldn't see Wu Cao's specific appearance, but the little beggar still felt that this sister must be a great beauty, she was not only beautiful, but also the kindest person in the world.
Wu Cao didn't know what the little beggar was thinking, and she left quietly. If she knew what the little beggar thought, she would not help but laugh, for she had not known what kindness had been since her father's death. No matter what she does, she will only do it from her own heart, and if she does, it must be because of something, not because of kindness. In this world, people die every day, some freeze to death, some starve to death, and some die of exhaustion, and individuals have their own lives.
Tongtu Inn, as soon as Wu Cao came back, the shopkeeper greeted him, and now there are no guests in the inn, so Wu Cao is alone.
"Miss Wu, are you back?" The shopkeeper smiled brightly, and his eyes kept glancing at Wu Cao's clothes, as if they were made of gold.
Wu Cao pursed his lips and smiled, raised his hand and asked, "Boss, why are you staring at Wu Cao so much, but what's wrong?" ”
"No, Miss Wu misunderstood, as soon as you left today, someone brought some food, and now it's hot in the kitchen!"
"Eat?" Wu Xiao's face was puzzled, who would send food in the middle of the night on Chinese New Year's Eve?
"Yes, Miss Wu, please go back to the room first, and the old man will go and fetch the hot food!" After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he happily stroked the white beard and left, he felt that this martial girl was not an ordinary person from the beginning, but he didn't expect him to guess correctly. Let's take the person who delivered food today, who is burly and tall, with brocade clothes and jade belts, and looks like a rich son.
After the shopkeeper sent the food basket into Wu Cao's house, he withdrew. Wu Cao opened the food basket with some doubts, the food in the basket was very simple, just two bowls of dumplings, but seeing these two bowls of dumplings, Wu Cao's eyes were moist, and at the same time, there was a smile on his face. Who sent the dumplings, no need to ask, she also wanted to get it, who else could there be besides that brother-in-law?
Eating hot dumplings, Wu Cao's heart softened, do you want to go home? No, that brother-in-law is so hateful, is it like buying her with only two bowls of dumplings?
Wu Cao knows what she wants, and what she wants is not just care, but also a kind of trust. She hopes that she can do what she wants to do like Zheng Liwan, and she is not just a little woman who opens her mouth to talk.
In the west courtyard, Fang Yiai squinted at Wang Danyi's jade hand, and he didn't know if those two bowls of dumplings could buy back Wu Niangzi's heart, but that was what he should do, no matter what Wu Cao did, she was Wu Shun's sister after all. Is this going to kill this sister-in-law, I'm afraid someone in his room really can't do it.
