On the first day of the Lunar New Year, before dawn, some families would burn firecrackers to welcome the God of Wealth, and the Su Liu family was no exception. The sound of banging firecrackers kept coming and going, making it impossible to sleep.
Now that she was awake, and it was the first day of the Lunar New Year, Su Liu got up early to freshen up, put on a rose-red Butterfly-colored Confucian jacket, an autumn-colored pleated brocade skirt, a pair of red coral earrings on her ears, and a bun on her head.
A girl's bun has a sapphire golden phoenix inserted in the mouth, and three thousand blue hairs hang down on the back of her head. She wears a pair of coral necklace curtains on both sides of her hair, pressing her hair down, and the coral beads are looming in her hair, which is stunning.
It's good-looking.
When they walked out of the room, they saw Su Xiao and Chen Ye talking and waiting. When Su Liu came out, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"Sister, Happy New Year, I wish you all your wishes come true and everything goes well."
The two of them congratulated in unison.
Su Liu agreed with a smile and looked at the two of them carefully. Chen Ye was wearing a brand-new blue brocade robe with a side-breasted right hem, a wide-brimmed belt made of blue satin around his waist, and a dark blue cloth scarf on his head. He looked gentle.
With a slight smile, he looked handsome and elegant, and he certainly had the demeanor of a scholar.
Looking at Su Xiao again, after the New Year, although she was thirteen years old, her figure had already opened slightly, the baby fat on her face gradually faded away, she had a small face with oval seeds, her small mouth was slightly red, and her eyes revealed a cunning look from time to time.
She is radiant and very aura. She wears a pink pomegranate and butterfly flowered scholar's coat, a purple-red butterfly embroidered brocade skirt, a bun with pearls and crystal beads, and a short hairpin with gold flowers and ruby on each side. It is really stunning.
Pretty and lovely.
Although they were peers, Su Liu was already engaged and considered an adult, so each of them gave a purse, which contained a crabapple golden barley seed. She said with a smile: "Sister Ye also wishes Brother Ye that all his wishes will come true and that he will be a high school student in the future."
No. 1, wish us good luck in our little New Year."
The two of them thanked her with a smile, and went hand in hand to Mrs. Chen's house to pay homage and serve tea.
Mrs. Chen had long been sitting on the main seat in the main room with a few purses beside her. She was looking forward to it. When she saw Su and Liu's arrival, she immediately narrowed her eyes with a smile.
Arranged in order from left to right, the three of them knelt down, made a big salute first, and congratulated Mrs. Chen in unison, which made Mrs. Chen extremely happy: "Get up quickly." Then he stood up and helped a few people up personally.
Look at this, look at that, all with smiles in their eyes.
"Mom, send out red envelopes quickly." Su Xiao reminded anxiously.
Mrs. Chen pointed at her forehead with a smile and said, "Is it going to happen without you?" After saying that, he took the red envelope on the side and stuffed it into her hand, and gave it to Su Liu and Chen Ye respectively.
"Thank you, Mom." Su Xiao smiled and put it into her sleeve, and then flattered her: "Mom, you look really good dressed up today."
Mrs. Chen blushed, touched her cheek, and said angrily: "It's just your mouth that's full of honey, you're used to coaxing people."
"Mom, you are very well dressed like this." Su Liu said with a smile: "The money is earned and spent, and the clothes must be worn after they are made. Only then can they be worthy of their value. It is wrong to keep them in the cabinet."
"
In order to celebrate the festival, Mrs. Chen wore a crabapple red coat with ten thousand characters for longevity, a horse-faced silver silk embroidered peony brocade skirt, and a filigree gold inlaid jade red gold walking wave inserted into the flying moon bun.
He also wore two silver hairpins and two hairpins, and a jade bracelet and a gold bracelet with twigs on each hand. He looked dignified, wealthy, and extremely generous and decent.
Mr. Chen rarely dressed up so grandly. It was once to treat guests on the 20th of the twelfth lunar month, and now it is the Chinese New Year, it is another time.
"In the future, I will earn more money and dress my mother up like a fairy." Su Xiao giggled.
"How much money can you make?" Su Liuha asked.
"I have thought about it for a long time. I want to make money from women, make rouge powder, and let all the women in Daqi use the powder made by me, Su Xiao." Su Xiao said arrogantly.
"Yes, then we will wait for your fans." Su Liu only thought she was joking, but he didn't know that Su Xiao really had this intention in mind and was also very talented in this area.
After the mother and son talked for a while, the servants came to kowtow to pay New Year greetings. As masters, Chen and Su Liu both encouraged them and gave them red envelopes.
When Mrs. Cui and others went down, Ning Guang and Tietou and others came to pay New Year's greetings.
Facing these men, Mrs. Chen seemed a little embarrassed. They just bowed to each other, while Ning Guang stared at Su Liu with joy in his eyes, which made Su Liu blush.
When Su Xiao saw him, he winked at Chen Ye and greeted Ning Guang with a smile. Instead of calling him brother Ning, he directly called him brother-in-law, which made Ning Guang happy and gave him a big red envelope.
The whole family had breakfast lively and then went out to visit relatives to pay New Year's greetings.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, we don’t go to distant places to pay New Year greetings. We always pay New Year greetings to each other in our own village. We talk and gather together, and the children are even happier. They go to this house and that house to pay New Year greetings and ask for red envelopes. If
If the family is poor, instead of giving red envelopes, they will give a handful of candies or something.
Su Liu and the others were all grown up, so naturally they would not run around like children. They would follow Mr. Chen around the village and pay New Year greetings to familiar people. Of course, they also received several red envelopes and countless others.
of envy and praise.
In a farmer's house, New Year's clothes are considered good even if they don't have patches, let alone new clothes. The clothes worn by Mrs. Chen and the others are considered to be first-class. Even the average thick-walled people in the town probably don't have the same clothes.
They were dressed appropriately, which meant that they were ladies and gentlemen, which is not bad at all.
After leaving Sun Xiucai's house, mother and son walked back, meeting familiar and unfamiliar people along the way. They said hello to each other and asked a few people to go to the banquet. Mrs. Chen all agreed with a smile.
"It seems like we need to cook more banquets at home." Su Liu said with a smile.
"That's right. We are all fellow villagers, so it's better to get closer." Mrs. Chen smiled softly.
Su Liu nodded. Even if not all the families in her family and the village were close to each other now, they were much better than before.
Although Su Liu goes her own way and doesn't pay too much attention to reputation like the ancients, Chen pays attention to a good reputation and she is happy to have it. It is worth spending this little money to get closer to others.
"Mom, sister, we are on such a narrow road, should we turn to another road?" Several people were walking and talking, and Su Xiao suddenly called out.
Following Su Xiao's gaze, it turned out that Su Jinfeng and Su Chuntao were arguing about something, and they could only hear a faint noise coming from them.
"Let's go to the East Lane?" Mrs. Chen said to Su Liu as she was impatient to see them and didn't want to mess with him on the first day of the new year.
If Su Liu doesn't comply, why should they get out of the way? Are you afraid that they will lose their teeth?
"Mom, let's just go this way. We haven't done anything wrong, so what are we afraid of?" Su Liu said lightly and walked forward slowly. Chen had no choice but to follow.
As he got closer, he heard the quarrel between the two getting louder and louder. Su Liu just pretended that he couldn't hear it and ignored it.
"Su Liu, stop right here."
Wanting to walk by quietly, but not getting what he wanted, Su Liu turned his head and said calmly: "Is something wrong?"
Su Jinfeng stepped forward and saw how many people were dressed. Her eyes lit up, and then she was filled with envy and jealousy. This little bitch was actually dressed up so well.
Su Chuntao also saw it clearly. Compared to Su Jinfeng, she wanted to put all Su Liu's jewelry and clothes on herself.
"Su Liu, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, you don't even show respect when you see me?" Su Jinfeng raised her chin and her eyes fell on Su Liu's head, Jinbu Yao.
"Who are you?" Su Liu asked with a smile instead of anger.
Su Jinfeng choked and twitched the corner of her mouth, saying, "I am your aunt. When you see me, you should salute."
"Really? What kind of aunt? I remember, I have nothing to do with the Su family anymore, right?"
"Huh! You don't recognize your relatives when you become rich, you have white pigeon eyes." Su Jinfeng was furious and taunted loudly.
"Well, it's good that you know, why don't you get out of the way?" Su Liu smiled slightly, stretched out a hand to straighten the hairpin on his temples and said: "Not only do I have white dove eyes, I'm also a wolf with white eyes, and I've been a fox for thousands of years.
The demon has a dark heart. If you don't want to suffer any disaster, just go ahead and play, and don't provoke me."
Su Jinfeng let out a silly hiccup, but didn't know how to retort. Didn't Su Liumo change his temper? He actually showed weakness to her? Didn't he quarrel with her?
But she didn't know that Su Liu didn't bother to argue with her at all. He kept saying curse words, nothing new, and he was in a big mood for the New Year, so why should he ruin his mood?
Taking advantage of Su Jinfeng's dazed moment, Su Liu pulled Chen and the others away gracefully. Until no one could see them anymore, Su Jinfeng said to Su Chuntao belatedly: "Is the one just now really Su Liu?"
Su Chuntao sneered disdainfully, ignored her, and left quickly. She also wanted Mrs. Zhou to buy more jewelry for her, otherwise how would she be able to meet people? She was outshone by Su Liu's cheap hooves.
Already.
"I think Jinfeng's temper is getting more and more unruly. How can she propose marriage if she refuses to give up her temper?" Sitting in her room, Ms. Chen shook her head and asked.
She has a bad temper, is lazy, her family is not particularly well off, and she doesn’t know how to do farm work or housework. Who would want her? She is not an offering to a Bodhisattva.
Su Liu smiled and said, "Mom, you don't have to worry about this. Let's prepare the children to come and pay you New Year greetings."
They went to other people's homes to pay New Year's greetings. There was a lot of coming and going, and those people would also come to sit at home, so Su Liu had already asked them to prepare tea and snacks.
Unexpectedly, the first one to come to pay New Year's greetings was Su Yindan from the old house.
"I wish you a happy new year and good fortune." Su Yindan knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Mrs. Chen. The sound made Su Liu and others tremble.
"Get up." Ms. Chen was also very embarrassed, but since the visitor was a guest, especially with such a young child, she couldn't care less and handed him a red envelope.
Su Yindan happily ran over to pick it up, and opened it on the spot. She was so happy when she saw that it was only half a penny. Su Liu took the opportunity to ask: "Yindan, who asked you to come here to pay New Year's greetings?" Yindan has never been here before.
In their family, she didn't believe that this silver egg would come here to pay New Year's greetings on his own so thoughtfully.
Sure enough, Su Yindan said cheerfully: "My grandma asked me to come. She said that if I kowtow to greet the New Year, the aunt will give me a big red envelope, so I am here." After saying that, he grabbed another table.
He ate some food and ran away.
Su Liu and Mrs. Chen looked at each other, both of them dumbfounded. Ms. Huang is really not ashamed of herself, but she can be disgusting from time to time!
Why have you been feeling out of shape these past two days? It’s so hard to write words. Let’s go to the last chapter first. Don’t wait. I’ll update it when I have time during the day~
