The official road of the farmer

On the 28th day of the year, in order to reflect the joy of the army and the people, the imperial court issued red cloth and red paper, and asked the ingenious buddies to cut paper and bunch of flowers, and paste them in the streets and alleys outside the house.

Not only that, the officials who stayed in the city for the New Year personally wrote couplets to the people to express their best wishes to the people.

Of course, this was also Ye Junshu's idea.

Obviously, this is another very good idea. When the officials tried to do this, it was obvious that the gap between the government and the people quickly melted away.

The officials each set up a booth where they wrote couplets for the common people.

The civil servants competed with each other invisibly, competing for their literary talent, racking their brains to write couplets.

Ye Junshu has seen countless couplets, and he naturally stands out. His couplets are simple and straightforward, with beautiful and profound meanings, and are the most popular among the people, so he has the most people in front of him.

No matter how hard the other officials tried, they couldn't compete with Ye Junshu in popularity, but they were convinced after reading the couplets written by Ye Jun in the past, and they couldn't write too many different couplets for a while.

At the beginning, the common people were very reserved, and Ye Jun wanted whatever he wrote.

When someone tentatively asked if he could have which pair, and after getting Ye Junshu's good-tempered response, he gradually let go.

"Master Ye, I want Heshun to have a hundred blessings, and the word Ping'an is worth a thousand gold."

"Master Ye, I want the one with good things coming."

"Master Ye..."

Every time their officials write a couplet, they will read it out, and the onlookers will remember what they think they like more.

Ye Junshu responded to every request.

However, the popularity of the couplet written by Ye Jun is one thing, and his face is also full of presence.

Among the officials, he is the best looking, so most of the older brothers, middle-aged brothers and younger brothers are in front of him.

Deng Hongyuan's appearance is also excellent, and he is the second most popular.

This is an era of looking at faces.

Since the common people approached cautiously and found that these officials were very approachable, they boldly spoke up.

Speaking of the latter, the soul of gossip ignited and began to ask——

"Where is my lord from? How many people are in the family? Is there a contract?..." And so on.

Ye Junshu: "..."

Ye Junshu's face was almost frozen with laughter.

When Li Yu came out, he saw such a scene.

Maybe he paid more attention subconsciously, and Li Yu could also understand the emotions under Ye Junshu's gentle expression. Seeing his embarrassment at this time, he felt very funny.

Li Yu looked at it for a while, walked over, and stood beside Ye Junshu, and the people who were watching immediately stepped back, and a circle was immediately emptied in front of Ye Junshu.

It's really that Li Yu's aura is too terrifying, ordinary people can't bear it, and he is wearing a mask, so he is very difficult to provoke at first glance.

Ye Junshu's booth was immediately cleared up, and he heaved a sigh of relief.

Such enthusiasm is really overwhelming.

He smiled brightly at Li Yu, it was better for Ah Yu, and he felt sorry for him.

"Ah Yu, have your affairs been arranged?"

After returning from Yongcheng two days ago, they immediately started working. As the Chinese New Year approached, they had to strengthen their patrols.

The same rice feeds all kinds of people. Most of the common people are simple and honest, but there are also cunning and cunning people, so we have to guard against them.

Li Yu went to arrange patrols.

Li Yu nodded slightly when he heard Ye Junshu's question.

He took a look at Ye Junshu's stall, because he wrote a lot, there were not many red papers left in his hand.

Ye Junshu rubbed his wrists, from writing in the morning until now, even though he used to practice handwriting in hundreds of articles, he still feels a little tired at this moment.

Ye Junshu can take a breather, while Deng Hongyuan has fallen.

At the beginning, he was proud that his popularity was finally higher than Ye Junshu's, but it didn't take long for him to be complacent, and he couldn't handle it by himself.

I just can't lose my temper.

The bosses are all present, smiling and very kind. If he lost his temper, wouldn't it leave a bad impression?

Deng Hongyuan had to say nicely that he was close to the people.

Ye Junshu finished another couplet, and the booth was empty.

But this does not affect his good mood.

He tilted his head slightly, and said to Li Yu: "Ah Yu, what couplet do you want, I will write it for you!" It can be pasted on the door of the room where he lives temporarily.

Li Yu said: "You can write whatever you want."

He felt that the couplets written by Ye Jun had very good meanings, and he liked them all.

This is not acceptable, he wants to give Ah Yu a unique one.

Ye Junshu thought for a while, picked up the brush and wrote a couplet that he hadn't written before——

"Peace and peace for a moment, long for a long time to miss Qianqiu."

After Ye Junshu waited for the handwriting to dry, he carefully rolled it up, and then said with a smile: "Ah Yu, let's post couplets together tomorrow."

Li Yu responded well.

Just pasting couplets is a bit monotonous, so Ye Junshu simply kept a few pieces of red paper for cutting window grilles.

He saw that Lu Geer and Nan Ahmo would cut paper every year, and other children would do it themselves with great interest, and Ye Junshu would also play with it. It can be said that it is an annual group activity of their family.

But Ye Junshu can only cut simple flowers and small animals, not more complicated ones.

but it does not matter.

How great it is to be able to celebrate the New Year with Ah Yu and experience the days of living together in advance.

Ye Junshu felt very happy as long as he imagined that scene.

Li Yu listened to Ye Junshu rambling about his plans for tomorrow, and he felt that he was looking forward to the new year.

What he looked forward to the most when he was a child was the Chinese New Year, because only then would he have the opportunity to reunite with his family and see his father and brother.

However, he didn't know when it started, he no longer looked forward to the New Year's Day.

Listening to Ye Junshu's picture at this time, he suddenly felt that Chinese New Year is a very warm and interesting event.

Li Yu held the rolled couplets in his hand, when someone came over again, Ye Junshu took a look, huh!Still an acquaintance.

It was Grandpa Fan and his grandson who came here, and Ye Junshu greeted the grandpa and grandson affectionately: "Hi, Uncle Fan, hello, good boy, how many couplets do you want, Grandpa?"

Uncle Fan seemed to be in a very good mood, and his life was looking forward to it, and his whole person looked different.

Uncle Fan said kindly: "I just want two sets."

"Okay, sir, what content do you want?" Ye Junshu read several of the more popular couplets he just wrote.

Upon hearing this, Uncle Fan quickly picked out his two favorites.

Ye Junshu responded, spread out the red paper, rubbed the ink, and prepared to write.

Seeing Li Yu kept looking at this side, Ye Junshu asked with a smile: "Ah Yu, do you want to write?"

Li Yu hesitated for a while, and then said: "Is it okay?"

"Of course!"

Ye Junshu saw Uncle Fan who was holding the cub and smiling all the time in front of him, thought for a while, and asked him again: "Uncle Fan, do you mind?"

"I don't mind." Uncle Fan waved his hand.

Speaking of which, Ye Junshu hasn't read Li Yu's handwriting yet!

Ye Junshu stepped aside and asked Li Yu to stand over.Li Yu was still somewhat interested in this, so he did not refuse.

So Ye Jun read the couplets, and Li Yu picked up the pen to write.

His handwriting is like his person, with a kind of sharpness, and the sharpness that hits the face between horizontal strokes and vertical strokes.

After Li Yu finished writing, he put the pen aside, "It's a shame."

Ye Junshu praised: "Good handwriting!" As expected of being from a family of generals, he couldn't even write such domineering handwriting.

Li Yu didn't practice handwriting very often. He was a martial artist, and he preferred dancing with knives and guns to practicing calligraphy, playing the piano and painting. His family's handwriting was almost based on a template, and it could only be said to be correct.Naturally, it is not as good as Ye Junshu's daily practice, and he can also practice his own handwriting.

Ye Junshu naturally praised it highly, and he also made a well-founded comment instead of empty praise.

He really liked Li Yu's calligraphy.

He saw that the handwriting on the couplet had dried, so he rolled it up, then handed it to Uncle Fan, and said with a smile, "Uncle Fan, I would like to wish you a Happy New Year in advance."

During the New Year's period, Ye Junshu may not have time to pay New Year's greetings.

Ye Junshu reckoned that they should go back soon.

Uncle Fan also said, "Happy Chinese New Year."

The boy who had been quiet all this time suddenly said, "Happy Chinese New Year."

Ye Junshu was really pleasantly surprised, it was not easy to listen to the boy talking, he leaned slightly, and replied with a smile on his face, Happy New Year.

There were red envelopes for the New Year, but Ye Junshu was unprepared. He groped for a while, but before he found anything, Li Yu handed him some caramel wrapped in small paper.

Ye Junshu smiled at Li Yu, then took it over and handed it to the boy, as a New Year's gift.

Guai Zai looked at his grandfather, Uncle Fan did not refuse, so Guai Zai stretched out his small hand to take it, "Thank you uncle." When he said this, he looked at Li Yu timidly.

Then Uncle Fan took the couplet and led his grandson, and left slowly.

"Ah Yu, why do you carry candy with you?" Didn't you always dislike these sweet things?

"Ah?" Li Yu replied flatly, "It's for you to eat." Take some with you, and when Zizhou wants to eat, he can feed it.

Ye Junshu: "..."

He stared at Li Yu, thinking 'viciously' in his heart, that day at the inn, he shouldn't show mercy!

Ye Junshu managed to get Ah Yu's consent to give him a kiss.But he was afraid that Ah Yu would not be able to accept excessive intimacy, so it took him so much effort to use his reason to overcome his impulse, and he only kissed him a little reservedly.

If I knew that he would not be so pure, I should give him a wet kiss or something to let him know that he is a man!

They set up at the gate of the yamen for a whole morning and half an afternoon before closing the stall and going back.

The results were very good, and everyone was very happy.

Have a good year this year!

Ye Junshu enthusiastically pulled Li Yu to cut the window paper, seeing that Li Yu couldn't do it, he also acted as a master, teaching Li Yu hand in hand.

Although he is not very good at it, he can teach you how to cut big flowers!

On New Year's Eve, Wan Xingchang gathered all the officials to celebrate the Spring Festival together.

They are away on business and cannot reunite with their families.It is also fate that we are rarely together today.

So they began to toss about the government office.

Ye Junshu: "..."

Although he really wanted to celebrate the New Year with Ah Yu alone, he knew it was not realistic.

Fortunately, they can put up couplets and window grilles together, ignoring other people's words, it can be regarded as a world of two.

Ye Junshu reluctantly gave some psychological comfort.

The New Year's Eve dinner is eaten by officials.

During the time in Jinjiang, the supplies were not very abundant, and they usually did not eat very well. They only saw a little meat every few days, and the rest of the time they ate coarse grains.

The common people eat worse than they do, and there is nothing to complain about.

However, those who are used to rich clothes and good food, after a long time, their faces are a little disheveled, lacking oil and water.

Ye Junshu is okay, he has Ah Yu who goes outside to open a small stove from time to time, and sees the rare New Year's Eve dishes with several meat dishes on the table, he is very calm, and the other officials maintain a bit of stability, but they don't look at the meat. , betrayed their inner restless thoughts, really wanted to put the meat in their mouths!

Wan Xingchang is considered to have the highest official position here, and he will give a speech as a representative to summarize this period of time.

Everyone was praised, even Ye Junshu was named and praised several times.

Ye Junshu's small eyes glanced at Li Yu who was several seats away from time to time.

He really wanted to sit with Ah Yu.But this seat is particular. As he is, he has to sit on the top seat, but he can only sit on the bottom.

There are a lot of people here who either have higher qualifications or higher official positions than him!

After Wan Xingchang finished speaking, he tilted his head and asked Li Yu in a warm voice if he had anything to say. Li Yu had nothing to say, but Wan Xingchang said so, and Li Yu still wanted to say a few words.

He said a few words, and then it was over.

Then Wan Xingchang opened his mouth to eat.

After Wan Xingchang picked up the first chopsticks, several pairs of chopsticks quickly picked up the sliced ​​meat, he didn't care about giving in, and only focused on feeding the gluttons in his stomach.

Ye Junshu really wanted to pick up some food for Li Yu, but it was too far away, so he had to give up.

After the lively New Year's Eve dinner, the New Year's Eve began.

When several civil servants got together, there were a lot of things to play with, such as drinking orders, pairings, and composing poems. Ye Junshu was also dragged to participate in several games.

When the bustle dies down, it will be the next morning.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the officials who hadn't slept all night had a simple breakfast and went back to their houses to rest.

Ye Junshu followed Li Yu dawdly, and when they returned to the house, when there were only two of them left, Ye Junshu couldn't help but stepped forward and hugged Li Yu.

Ever since they talked, Ye Junshu had been sticky, and Li Yu felt that this was not going to work, so he was about to push him away, and then give him a serious education.

Ye Junshu said sullenly, "Ah Yu, I miss the children..."

The gesture of refusal suddenly turned into appeasement, and Li Yu comforted: "We will go back soon."

"Um……"
