Chapter 235: Celebrating the New Year (2)
Before, Shen Yun consulted Qi Bo, and knew that this kind of New Year's visit in the neighborhood was only a slight sitting, and for the master's family, if he issued a red envelope, he could serve tea to the guests.
He was about to send the little guy to his father, when Master Chen stretched out his hands with a loving face: "Come, good grandson, come to grandfather." ”
Shen Yun took the opportunity to send the little guy over. A few polite words with Mr. Chen, and served tea to the guests.
said that he was sending off guests, so he accompanied Master Chen to the porch, who had already taken his hand and said in a loud voice: "Brother Shen, stay, please stay." ”
Hehe, that's interesting. In half an hour, Shen Yun had an additional "Brother Chen" in his fifties in Xiandu.
Waiting for Qi Bo to send the Chen family back, Sister Ah Hua ran out of the ear room and bent over with a smile: "The way Second Master Chen called himself 'little nephew' just now, it's really funny!"
Everyone is happy - this Second Master Chen believes that he is a good citizen, and he usually meets them outside, and he never has to look at them squarely.
Shen Yun stroked his forehead. In fact, he was also embarrassed to be called "Uncle Shen Shi" by an uncle who was one or two rounds older than him, okay!
Over there, the Chen family returned home. As soon as the door was closed, Second Master Chen was unhappy: "Dad, it's just a half-grown boy who has not dried up, and your old man can't help but exalt him too much!"
It's just a small steward of Tiger Leap Hall. When he first arrived, he had no roots in the fairy capital, and he was not willing to go to this door. It's just that because of the majesty of his father, he had to follow along. Who told him that his martial arts qualifications are not good, and he can't pass the test! His own father has already released his words: as long as he doesn't pass the test, this family can't be scored. Therefore, he can only honestly be a filial son in front of his father.
Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the kid's house, his father lowered his posture a lot, and even rushed to call himself "Brother Chen" and call the kid brothers. And his good eldest brother not only didn't find a way to stop him, but also called himself "little nephew", so that he had to pinch his nose and recognize a "Uncle Shen Shi" who was several years younger than his son!
Ouch, his face is gone!
Master Chen didn't bother to pay attention to him, bent down to pick up his youngest grandson, and said with a smile while walking towards the main house: "Let's go, go to my grandfather's house to eat lucky oranges." ”
"Time (eating) Fu Tangerine. The little one held the big orange in both hands and giggled.
Second Master Chen had to say more later, but he was gagged by Uncle Chen's eye knife.
"Half-grown boy who has not dried up?" Uncle Chen sneered, "In two years, people can let you go up and call 'Uncle Shen Shi', that is a great lift for you." ”
So powerful? Second Master Chen was stunned. I have to ask again, Uncle Chen has already carried the corner of his robe, and hurriedly went to the main house - that Shen Ye's bright hand today is too amazing. Was it unintentional, or did he deliberately show his hand in front of their father and son? If it was unintentional, it showed that Shen Ye's bottom was deep. If so, what does he mean? Oops, I still have to sum it up with my father.
Second Master Chen was left in place, how annoyed he was. With a roll of his eyes, he put his hands up, looked back at the direction of the Shen family, and pulled the corner of his mouth - hehe, it's a mule or a horse, you have to pull it out to know wow!
After the Chen family left, it didn't take long for those who handed over the posts, as if they were lining up, and one after another also came to the door.
are all neighborhoods, and Shen Yun treats everyone equally: go to the porch to welcome guests, please enter the main house, pay New Year's greetings, send a red envelope, and serve tea to guests.
It seems that this is the etiquette in Xiandu, and the heads of these families also saw him sent to the porch, so they took his hand and said, "Brother Shen, stay."
There are only nine households in this street, including the tenant in the backyard. In less than two hours, the men of the eight households, from the head of the house to the dolls who were still nursing, all appeared in front of him.
According to the custom here, the neighborhood greetings last until the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, but never more than noon every day.
It's almost lunchtime, which means that today's visit is finally over. Shen Yun breathed a sigh of relief: one morning, he recognized eight old brothers in their fifties and sixties, and the "nephews" and "nephews" walked all over the place, and they were also drunk.
"Master Shen, will you be able to open the door tomorrow morning?" Qi Bo sent the last neighbor and came back to ask for instructions.
Shen Yun waved his hand: "Before, didn't Mother Qi and Aunt Luo say that they were going to the Heavenly Emperor Temple to burn incense in the second day of junior high school? I heard that the food in the temple fair was good, so we ate out at noon. ”
"Yes. Qi Bo rubbed his hands happily, "I'll go and tell everyone to prepare." ”
When lunch was set, everyone knew that they were going out tomorrow, and everyone was smiling. Especially Sister Ah Hua, chattering about tomorrow's travel plan: "I heard that Li Ji's rouge gouache is the best, mother, go buy a box tomorrow." Oh, I heard that there is a noodle cake stall at the end of the street, and there are more than a dozen flavors of wedding cakes, Qi Ma, let's go see it......"
Shen Yun listened for a while, and found that it was all "heard", and his heart was very strange: the temple fair in the back street of the Heavenly Emperor Temple was notoriously lively in Xiandu. It's not very far from here. Why is it that Sister Ah Hua has all "heard", but she has not "seen" it with her own eyes?
"Sister Hua, haven't you been to the backstreet temple fair?" he asked.
Without waiting for Luo Ahua to answer, next to her, Lao Luo replied first: "She went out to play, who will do the work in the kitchen?"
Sister Ah Hua was stunned for a moment, and then nodded vigorously: "Yes." The slave family had to cook at home. ”
Is this really the case? Shen Yun noticed that Aunt Luo was sitting on the side, her face was a little unnatural.
At this time, Qi Bo sighed and said to Lao Luo: "Lao Luo, this is your fault. Shen Ye is not an outsider, what should he not say to Shen Ye? Besides, Shen Ye knows, and he will take everyone out tomorrow, and he will have a good idea in his heart. ”
Lao Luo blushed: "I, I'm also afraid of the New Year, which will make Shen Ye unhappy......"
Looks like something is really wrong. Shen Ye waved his hand: "I am unscrupulous, I don't believe this." ”
Lao Luo responded with a "hey" and talked about a past incident ten years ago:
For untouchable families waiting for rice to be cooked, it is a luxury to visit the temple fairs in the backstreets. That year, Lao Luo worked hard to the end, and finally saved two taels of silver, so he took his wife and daughter to go to the backstreet temple fair.
I don't want to, I met a son-in-law at the temple fair, and when I saw that Aunt Luo was good-looking, I wanted to rob people on the street.
Fortunately, the three of them had a lot of luck that day, and it happened that a man in black rushed out of the crowd at that time, and then a duck shouted 'catch the assassin'. Hulala, countless black-clothed guards with big knives appeared from all directions.
Suddenly, the crowd was in chaos.
Lao Luo reacted quickly, pulling his wife with one hand and his daughter with the other, and escaped from the back street in the crowd.
After going back, they were afraid that the prince would come to the door, so they moved as quickly as possible. Since then, Lao Luo's family has not visited any temple fairs. People will deliberately dress brightly when they go out, however, Aunt Luo tries not to go out, and if she really wants to go out, she will try to clean up her sloppy.
As soon as Lao Luo finished speaking, Aunt Luo hurriedly lowered her eyes and said, "Just now, Qi Bo has told the slave family to prepare in advance. Tomorrow, the slave family will also smear their faces with stove ash. Thinking that it was the New Year, he immediately felt that it was inappropriate, and quickly changed his words, "There is nothing to see in the temple fair, the slave family is not going, stay at home to take care of the family......"
It turns out that what Ziber said earlier about preparing was referring to this!
What is this called!
Shen Yun clenched his fists and said to himself in his heart: Aren't you yourself wearing a dark and rough face all day long?
Although he was a little wronged, he was as strong as a cloud in the immortal capital, and his fist was only so big, so he could only smear his face now.
He waved his hand to interrupt Aunt Luo's words: "The ashes are too fake." After a while, ask Lao Luo to come to me and get you some disguise powder and potions. The disfigurement powder does not fade when it is wet, and it needs to be wiped on the face with a potion to wash it off. ”
Everyone looked relieved. Especially Aunt Luo stepped forward gratefully and saluted Shen Yunfu: "Thank you, Master Shen." ”
Shen Yun only felt that the wine-brewed balls in his mouth looked like they were soaked in bitter water.
In the final analysis, I am not strong enough, and my fists are not big enough! Otherwise, it is those who have bad intentions when they go out to smear their faces!
