Chapter 411 The New Year in Ancient Times 1
It's New Year's Eve again, and this year, Su He's surroundings are still bustling.
Simple and sweet.
Mu Tou and his two friends did not forget to read even during the Chinese New Year. They studied every day according to the academy's schedule. Miao Miao finally acted like a caring sister and poured hot milk tea for the three of them and gave them various snacks.
Mu Tou looked at his sister with emotion, thinking that she had finally grown up.
"Brother, lend me some money. I want to buy a storybook."
Mu Tou immediately frowned, "Didn't my sister give you fifty taels? Why did you spend it all so quickly?"
"No, I still have a little, but the New Year is coming soon. As a brother, are you so stingy?"
"No."
Miaomiao immediately took the milk tea away, but confiscated the snacks, which she gave to Qu Qing and Xu Wenyuan.
"Hmph, I didn't find it. I'll go ask my sister for it."
Mu Tou felt very heartbroken as he watched his sister walking away.
"Sister, I want to keep my New Year's red envelope myself."
Miaomiao rushed into the kitchen and hugged Su He and acted coquettishly, but was flatly rejected by Su He.
"No, you're going to buy the storybook again. From now on, you'll have to pay two taels of silver per month, no more."
Miaomiao looked at her sister in shock, "But I have an appointment with the bookstore owner. There will be new books this afternoon."
"Then go with Tiantian to have a look. If you don't buy anything, just say you don't like it."
The brother was heartless and the sister was unfeeling. Miaomiao left angrily.
After a while, we went to the stable.
"Brother-in-law~"
Liu Niang waited until Miaomiao left and then pleaded with Su He.
"Give her some money during the New Year. You always say she's still young. Let her be happy. We don't have any acquaintances in the capital, and she has nothing to do except reading storybooks."
Su He thought about it and agreed. "I will give her two taels of silver later. If there is no more, I will let her go to the academy with me in the spring and earn money for herself."
Liu Niang also thought it was good. It didn't matter to her at her age. When she had nothing to do at home, she would do needlework to pass the time, and buy groceries and cook at regular times.
Young people like them still need to go out for a walk.
"Go find her quickly and let Mu Tou and the other two take them there. Today is New Year's Eve, go and persuade the three children not to work so hard."
Su He listened to the advice and went. After finally persuading the three scholars to come out, he saw Miaomiao coming out of the stable happily.
Su He narrowed his eyes at her, "Are you going to get the money?"
"Ah, no."
Miaomiao felt visibly guilty, after all, it was the first time she did such a thing.
"Sister, my sister must have asked Xiaobai for money."
Miaomiao looked at Mu Tou angrily, "Stinky brother, what do you want to control?"
Su He glared at Miaomiao, then turned and spoke to Mu Tou.
"Go ahead, relax today. You are only allowed to read half a day in the next three days. Combine work and rest."
"Got it, sister (Sister Lotus)"
Mu Tou and the other two took their purses and went out with Miaomiao and Tiantian.
Miaomiao laughed arrogantly as soon as she went out. Xiaobai gave her ten taels of silver.
"Brother, please treat me and Tiantian to candy."
Mu Tou glanced at her, but finally didn't say no.
"Brother Mu~, I want one too!"
"Me too, me too, I want a little white rabbit!"
Mu Tou rushed over and beat Xu Wenyuan and Qu Qing, the two funny guys.
"I'll give you two fists to eat."
Miaomiao and Tiantian followed behind and laughed.
Su He on this end was silently questioning Liu Bai.
Liu Bai silently washed his hands and handed over all the silver in his arms.
"This is the commission I earned from selling Jin Nanzhu's dowry. A total of 100 taels. I gave 10 taels to Miaomiao. The rest is all here."
Su He nodded with satisfaction, took it, counted out 50 taels and returned it to Liu Bai.
"Don't give me any more. Keep it for yourself."
"it is good."
Liu Bai agreed without hesitation.
"Let's go to the wine shop and buy some fruit wine. This is our first New Year in the capital, let's celebrate."
Su He called Liu Bai and went out together.
Liu Niang watched them leave with a smile, then turned back to continue cutting vegetables.
"Hehua, Liubai, what a coincidence. Where are you going?"
Kim Nam-joo was going out arm in arm with Li Mingfeng, who was on a rare vacation.
"Let's go to the wine shop and buy some fruit wine."
"I'll go too. Husband, let's go buy some too."
Li Mingfeng nodded to Su He and the others good-temperedly, then agreed seriously.
"Okay, should we go ask my mother-in-law?"
"No need, I know what my mother wants to drink, I'll buy it and ask Xiaolan to deliver it to her."
It was rare for Kim Nam Joo not to chatter nonstop to Su He. Now she was chattering around Li Mingfeng. The other three people just needed to listen without moving their mouths.
There is absolutely no use for it.
When they arrived at the wine shop, Su He and Liu Bai looked at each other, and they quickly bought some wine and ran away.
"Lotus, where are you going? We might be on the same route."
Jin Nanzhu looked at Su He running away in confusion, "Mingfeng, don't they want to be with us?"
"No, this year they must want to go home to spend time with their families on New Year's Eve. Let's buy some wine and go back. Let mother-in-law have dinner with us today, and we'll go see my parents tomorrow."
Li Mingfeng spoke slowly and Kim Nam Joo suddenly became happy again.
"That's true. Let's go find mom right away."
After Wang Rou recovered from her injuries, she bought another house and moved in.
Since then, she has stayed in the house and never left. Jin Nanzhu thinks that her mother is sad about the dead followers. Those who escaped with her were her confidants, and most of them died at once, so it is really hard to let it go.
Rural Village
Zhou was sitting on the edge of the kang coughing, and Yueran carefully brought in some medicine.
"Mom, you'll be fine after taking the medicine."
Zhou touched her youngest son's head and said, "Mother knows. Yueran, please get out of here quickly, or else mother will infect you."
"I watched my mother finish drinking the medicine and then left. I took the bowl with me."
Seeing her son's determined expression, Zhou could only pick up the medicine and drink it all.
"Mom, you have to rest well. If you are still not well tomorrow, I will give you some magic medicine. Don't worry."
Yue Ran patted her mother's arm, took the bowl and left the house.
Zhou laughed, she guessed that it was Su He who gave it to him.
Lotus is always so considerate. Even after people leave, they are still remembered.
This year, Yanzhi bought a lot of lanterns according to Suhe's instructions.
According to Suho's rules, the children drew lots to choose lanterns.
This year's New Year's Eve was still celebrated in the meeting room, and this time, Tietou opened the show.
"This year, our tea stall... is distributing dividends. Aunt Yanzhi will get 320 taels, and Aunt Guihua... Aunt Hehua is not here, so her share of the silver is with me for now. I will give it to her when she comes back next year."
Tietou divided the money quickly, and then said some encouraging words. Thus began the annual meeting.
The children were still running around happily, but they always mentioned Su He when they talked.
"The lantern Sister Lotus gave me last year is still lit. I already have seven rabbit lanterns, and each one is a little different."
Jiaojiao said to Baoer.
"Bao'er's is also beautiful. My lantern is also beautiful. I will tell my cousins Hehua and Miaomiao when they come back. Dashan bullied me again."
As Baoer spoke, he pursed his lips in grievance, and his eyes suddenly filled with tears.
When Shitou, who was passing by, heard this, he immediately captured Dashan, asked him questions and started beating him.
The adults were all watching the fun and had no intention of pleading for Dashan.
Especially my mother Wen Niang, who was drinking rice wine at the side and shouting the loudest.
"This brat must have gotten into trouble again. Shitou, beat him hard and teach him a lesson."
Dashan was so angry that he cried out, "I didn't do that. I am innocent. Brother, I just ate one extra bowl of meat. Aunt Hehua said that children cannot be beaten during the New Year."
Sun was originally still laughing, but tears started falling.
