Chapter 373 Staying New Year’s Eve
There were several bags of food on the top of the basket. Liu Hanyue opened them one by one and looked at them. They were all ordinary food. However, thinking that these were made by Yan Shu himself, a smile flashed in his eyes.
After taking out the packets of food, what was placed underneath turned out to be something wrapped in red silk.
Liu Hanyue curiously picked up the red silk cloth and opened it. When she saw what was wrapped in the red silk cloth, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes.
It's actually a ginseng?
He has relied on ginseng to survive since he was a child, so he has seen many ginsengs over the past century. This one is definitely considered the best ginseng among century-old ginseng.
Sometimes I really can’t understand her. Judging from the information about her, she has lived in the countryside since she was a child. She has never left Chiyang County before fleeing famine. Her parents and brothers are also ordinary farmers in the countryside. But she not only knows martial arts, He also has superb medical skills, and even a ginseng plant given out casually is a treasure that is hard to find.
He had to admit that he was really curious about her.
-
It's late on New Year's Eve and people don't sleep, and they are tired of welcoming the new year.
Tonight, every household is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and the sound of crackling firecrackers fills the sky.
In the evening, the happiest people are the children. The sound of children laughing and playing can be heard from time to time in the alley.
The Yan family prepared a full table of New Year's Eve dinner, and the whole family put on new clothes and prepared to eat and watch the New Year's Eve.
Yan Shu likes to wear plain colors on weekdays, so Liu Wenniang made her a vermilion coat this time. The collar and cuffs were sewn with a circle of white rabbit fur. The coat was also embroidered with red plum blossoms, which matched the soft ones. The satin fabrics are perfectly blended together. The lower body is paired with a lotus root pink skirt and embroidered shoes of the same color. The whole person is full of girlish vitality. The long hair that is usually tied up casually is also tied up in a unique bun tonight. Two silver hairpins inlaid with rubies and several hairpin flowers were inserted as decorations, as if they were fairies floating out of the scroll.
When she walked into the main room, the whole family looked at her in unison.
"My little sister is so beautifully dressed tonight." Yan Wen was the first to praise with a smile.
Yan Wu raised his chin proudly: "I don't care whose sister it is, my little sister is a rare beauty even if she only wears plain clothes."
Yan Huai nodded in agreement.
Jiang Ci didn't speak, but his eyes were the hottest. The moment Yan Shu walked in, he never took his eyes away from her.
Yan Shu spun around in a circle with a cute smile on his face.
"My mother's craftsmanship is good. I really like this dress."
Liu Wenniang smiled and said: "My dear, red matches your skin color better. When the spring gets warmer, I will make you a pink dress. A girl of your age should wear something more colorful."
"Better say goodbye, mother. The pink color is really too eye-catching, so plain clothes are better."
As soon as she finished speaking, Yan Shu noticed Jiang Ci staring at her. She walked straight to Jiang Ci, looked him up and down, and smiled with satisfaction.
Tonight, Jiang Ci was wearing a black robe embroidered with elegant bamboo patterns, making her whole body more upright and handsome. The material was made of high-quality silk and satin, which she personally selected from the space and gave it to Liu Wenniang to make. .
Jiang Ci always wore light colors, mainly white and cyan, giving him a gentle and elegant gentlemanly temperament, but she had seen him wearing black night clothes, which gave him a strong sense of oppression. , so when she saw this piece of silk in the warehouse, she thought it was more suitable for Jiang Ci.
"Not bad, this dress fits you very well."
"Second aunt is good at craftsmanship, and the clothes she makes are not inferior to those of the embroiderers."
Yan Wu stretched out his arms and ran to Yan Shu to show off: "Little sister, what do you think of this second brother?"
The clothes of Yan Wen, Yan Wu, and Yan Huai were made of fine cotton. Because the three of them often worked, they chose darker colors. As the saying goes, a man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle. The three brothers tonight Even after putting on new clothes, they all look extraordinarily handsome.
"Second brother puts on this new clothes, he really looks like the knight who robbed the rich, gave to the poor, and traveled around the mountains and rivers."
This compliment really touched Yan Wu's heart, and he beamed with joy.
Liu Wenniang looked at the children dotingly: "Okay, let's sit down and eat. After dinner, we will go outside to set off firecrackers."
Tonight's dinner was particularly sumptuous. The family sat around the Eight Immortals table and had a happy reunion dinner.
After the meal, Liu Wenniang took out the New Year's money she had prepared. The money was wrapped in red paper. Each paper package contained ten taels of silver, which looked heavy.
"You need some lucky money during the New Year, and all of you children will have a share."
"Thank you, mother."
"Thank you, second aunt."
Everyone received the New Year's money, and Liu Wenniang sighed: "After tonight, you are one year older. The eldest and second eldest will be nineteen in two years. It's time to start a family and start a business. Other people's children are like yours." I’ve already given birth to sons at this age.”
Yan Wen and Yan Wu had a look of embarrassment on their faces.
Yan Wu chuckled: "The eldest brother hasn't gotten married yet, so it's my turn."
Liu Wenniang glared at Yan Wu: "He was only born a moment longer than you, so you should complete the matter of starting a family and starting a career together."
Yan Wu had a dark look on his face. He didn't want to get married at all. He wanted to cultivate immortality and have magic like his younger sister. This was his lifelong pursuit...
Yan Wen didn't know what he thought of, but kept his head lowered and said nothing.
Yan Shu glanced at Yan Wen and said with a smile: "Eldest brother, second brother, do you have a girl you like? If you like her, I will ask my mother to find a matchmaker in the next year to come and arrange a marriage."
"No...no, we have just settled down, so we should first think about how to make a living. As for the marriage between me and the second child, there is no rush."
"Yes, we are not in a hurry." Yan Wu nodded in agreement.
It was impossible to get married. He had thought about it. If his mother wanted to force him to get married, he would pack up his clothes and run away at night. He might visit famous mountains and find the place where the old immortal lived.
After collecting the New Year's money, the family set off firecrackers in the yard. Watching the fireworks rising in the night sky and listening to the bursts of firecrackers, Yan Shu was immersed in the joy of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new.
Her right hand was suddenly held by someone, and then the other person's fingers passed through her fingers and interlocked with hers.
"May the flowers be like Qingqing's every year, and the people remain the same every year."
Yan Shu's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and she looked sideways at the young man beside her. His gaze was as hot as fire, and the sparks fell on her heart, burning her whole heart.
The flowers are similar year after year, and the people are the same year after year. She actually looks forward to it.
Staying up late means the whole family sits together to eat and drink. After midnight, Yan Shu finally couldn't hold back the sleepiness.
The flavor of the New Year in the 22nd century has been diluted a lot. It was the first time to celebrate the New Year in ancient times. She wanted to persist until the end, but in the end she was defeated by her will.
"Shu'er, you have to go to the ancestral hall to worship your ancestors tomorrow morning, so go to bed quickly."
Liu Wenniang prepared the offerings for ancestor worship in a basket in advance. When dawn tomorrow, the men of the Yan family will go to the Yan family ancestral hall to worship their ancestors.
Originally, women were not qualified to worship ancestors, let alone married women. However, Yan Shu took the whole clan to escape this year and made many contributions along the way. Even her name and achievements were recorded in the family tree. She naturally has status. Worship ancestors with your tribe.
"Then I'll go back to my room and sleep, and you guys should go to bed early."
