A little sweet through the fragrant

The New Year customs in Kyoto are not much different from those in Fucheng. After the firecrackers to welcome the New Year are released, it is necessary to go to various houses to pay New Year's greetings.

The red envelopes were all prepared in advance, twenty more than what Ye Cunshan said when he came back.

The copper plate wrapped inside is taken as the middle number, and there are 25 Wen in each red envelope.

There are so many people to recognize, and I have to go there in the morning, so I have been busy for several days.

Fortunately, it was the imperial examination year, so there was a lot of walking around, but everything was kept simple.

On the fifth day of the lunar new year, Cheng Wenrui and Lu Ying brought people back to Beijing, and they also made an exception to enter the palace to face the saint.

Follow-up to deal with chores, until the eighth and ninth day of the eighth and ninth day, I have time to deal with family and relatives.

At this time, Kyoto has become completely lively.

Candidates from other places gather, and there are no vacancies in the inns all over the city.

The restaurants and teahouses also have elegant gardens, which were also crowded with waves of tourists after the market opened on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

Du Zhichun sent a message to Ye Cunshan, asking him to go out to meet friends through literature on the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month.

Ye Cunshan told Yuncheng about this, and Yuncheng told him to drink less, "Don't drink too much, do whatever you like."

Ye Cunshan should go down.

He won't mess around for face outside, he will do what he promises.

When the two cousins ​​came back, they wanted to come to pay New Year's greetings, and they both met.

According to the seniority of Lu Ying and Cheng Wenrui, they should go to the Lu family first.

But they didn't have a separate family, so they had to go to the largest one in the mansion, or go to Cheng's house first.

Yun Cheng still has a flower dew prescription in his hand. He wanted to give it away twice earlier, but he kept it because the Cheng family was the master of the Cheng family.

Now that Cousin Wenrui's position as the eldest son and grandson is more and more stable, he can stand up outside, and he is married and has a son. Grand Master Cheng will not touch him no matter what.

This year's New Year greetings, many relatives are here, they don't want to be too outstanding, they all say auspicious words in a proper manner, and give ordinary little red envelopes.

This is the second visit, mainly to see cousin Wenrui. According to the customary exchange of favors, they also give the younger generation the prescription to Brother Chuan.

On the other side of cousin Lu Ying, there is nothing else to offer for the time being. Yun Cheng thought, at this age, getting married should be the top priority. Waiting to meet and have a good chat, prescribing the right medicine is better than giving foreign things.

After the agreement, Yun Chengpa pulled out the Hualu recipe and asked Ye Cunshan to copy it again, "Your handwriting is good, write it down, and I will draw a flow chart."

Today, the whole family of four went, handed over the post early, and someone led the way when they entered the door, and went directly to Cheng Wenrui's yard.

I haven't seen him for a few years, but Cheng Wenrui looks more and more like his father in appearance and temperament, his face is tougher, his warm eyes have become sharper and restrained, and he smiles like a son of an aristocratic family. Generally speaking, he is much calmer.

When we met in the early days, he was able to travel far away to do errands alone. After years of experience, there were changes everywhere.

Ye Cunshan's studies are being watched, and Cunyin's shop is being steadily prepared. He doesn't talk about annoying things, but talks about homework and asks about Yuncheng's plans.

He is very interested in Yuanyuan. When he went to Ju'an Mansion, Yun Cheng had a big belly and hadn't given birth yet. When he gave birth, he had already gone to other places.

Over the years, I have traveled all over the world, but never went to Fucheng again.In the year of marriage, Ye Cunshan went to the capital, but he did not bring his family with him. This was the first time he saw Yuanyuan.

Yuanyuan has come to Cheng Cheng's house many times, and she is always confused about Cheng Wenjie's appearance. This year's Chinese New Year is also the time that Yuanyuan has seen the most relatives in her history, and she has formed a habit. Open your mouth, and you will be silly when you don't come.

Yuanyuan's eloquence is not bad, it was honed by Ye Cunshan's interactive questioning.

Cheng Wenrui asked her questions, and she could answer them.

After a few more conversations, the social cattle attributes that are in the same line as Cunyin are aroused, and she wants to tell people stories.

The cousin listened while hugging Brother Chuan, while Yuanyuan kept watching the baby while she was telling stories.

So after the story is finished, let her sit by the couch and watch brother Xiao Chuan.

Every family is busy during the year, and they don't pay one day of New Year's greetings. They chatted about the same, so they took out the prescription.

After a round of refusal and obstinacy, and after saying dozens of times that it was for the child, this gift was given away.

Visiting Lu's house the next day was more lively than Cheng's house.

Both Lu Ying's parents were there, and there was a poetry reception in the flower hall in the backyard.

On this cold day, I invited an opera troupe to my house and they are still singing.

When they entered the door and heard the sound, they all froze in place, feeling that it was not the right time.

The housekeeper, Ma Liuer, led them into the house, "It's all juniors playing around, the master and wife are waiting for you, and so is the young master."

They thought they were the guests of other members of the Lu family, but after entering the house, they found that the poetry reception was held for Lu Ying.

To put it bluntly, it is a large-scale blind date meeting.

Cheng Yudie said, "I chose to do it today. He will be waiting for you at home today. He hasn't gone out. I can't find him any other day."

It is also painstaking.

She wants to hug Yuanyuan when they meet, and Yuanyuan just came to pay New Year's greetings a few days ago, she likes her, and she reaches out to hug her.

After Yun Cheng and the others were seated, they asked where Lu Ying was. Cheng Yudie said that he was accompanying the guests in the backyard, "Someone must watch over the master's house."

She sighed, "Although marriage affairs are always not going well, he still gives me face. I wonder if it will be smoother today."

It was the first time for Cunyin to enter Lu's house, and he was very nervous, holding a cup and sitting upright.

Cheng Yudie asked him if he wanted to play in the backyard, "You can also help me watch Brother Dianying, don't tell him to fool me."

She told Yun Cheng and Ye Cunshan: "There are many brothers and sisters here, and there are also young men and women of the right age. If you go around, you may be able to meet a good marriage."

It happened that Lu Ying came from behind, before the person arrived, the voice came first, and he asked why.

Cheng Yudie was angry with him, "Of course I have a bad relationship with you."

Lu Ying was wearing a dark blue uniform with silver gray wristbands around the cuffs and a jade belt around her waist.When striding forward, he comes with a sassy and coquettish air.

As soon as he sat down on the chair, he leaned in deeply, and was commented by General Lu: "soft bones."

Lu Ying said lazily, "You didn't scold me like that when you beat me up."

He greeted Yuncheng and the others, "Yuanyuan is so white, I didn't even recognize it."

Yuanyuan turned her head from Third Aunt's arms, staring at Lu Ying with big eyes.

Kid King's children's fate is not for bragging.

In Yuanyuan's memory, Lu Ying's image has long since faded away, only gifts that are left a few times a year.

She likes fluffy, soft and warm things, and the fur Lu Ying gave her is enough for her to wear until she is ten years old.

I just took in a little milk dog a while ago, and it was time to refresh my impression.

After staring at him for a while, matching the impression with the face, I looked at him and smiled sweetly.

Yuncheng said to him: "We thought we could thank you in person when we arrived in Kyoto, but we didn't expect it to be delayed until the next year."

Lu Ying waved his hand, "Between brothers, why are you being polite?"

He came back for a few days, and he would enter the palace during the day, and he had to walk around with some officials.

It is not convenient to go out to visit relatives at night, but it is enough to listen to the news at home.

He knew the situation of Yun Cheng and the others, so there was no need to repeat it.

Speaking of the subsequent arrangements, he listened for a while.

Ye Cunshan would probably return to Cheng's house after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month to resume his daily study.

After the fifteenth day, Yuncheng and Cunyin will take care of the house.

To take care of the children, to prepare for the opening of the store, Yuncheng also has to start drafting and writing a new book.

The family of four was busy with arrangements, and there was no sign of the fifth person.

He frowned, didn't hide his surprise, and looked at Cunyin: "Are you not married yet?"

Cunyin sat by the side obediently, and was named for no reason. When asked such a question, he immediately rebelled, "Aren't you also married?"

Lu Ying's posture didn't change, she just said foolishly, "Yeah, I didn't make it either."

He has a frank face, with an attitude of what can you do to me.

Stare twice more, and see that he is still smiling.

Cunyin thought he was not as thick-skinned as him, and lowered his head to hold the teacup, the tea had already been drunk, and he could touch the tea leaves underneath with his mouth again.

Lu Ying asked someone to refill his tea.

Chu Yin's face immediately turned red.

Yuncheng saw that there was no tea in the cup, so he patted Cunyin's hand, and said to Lu Ying, "Cunyin has always been very grateful to you, and you are still talking about it at home, so I am sorry to come here."

Lu Ying said it was okay, "Brother, it's normal to be shy."

Ye Cunshan looked at him sideways, "You don't call him a brother now" was written all over his eyes.

Cheng Yudie told him to sit upright, "Put your tone down, it's not to ask you to look at each other, who are you pissing off?"

Lu Ying sat upright obediently. It seemed that during the blind date, she was always lazy and a bit ruffian.

People who value his family history also respect his character at a respectful distance, no wonder it has not been going well.

Yuncheng came today because he planned to ask him about his marriage to see if he had any worries.

For example, there are people you like and psychological shadows.

He wanted to go to the poetry reception, Cheng Yudie asked Lu Ying to take them there.

Lu Ying led the way and walked side by side with Ye Cunshan, reminding him friendly: "A few sour scholars have come, they are a little younger than Wen Hao, and they are reciting sour words."

In the past, introductions are indispensable, and after introductions, people will be dragged to make gestures.

Ye Cunshan looked at him, then at Cunyin who was following him, and thought he should go there.

He continued to use Liu Wenbai's character design. When Lu Ying introduced him, he just finished his name, and he announced his family name, saying that his hometown is Shangougou, his ancestors were butchers, and he was a college scumbag.

Lu Ying: "..."

Later, Cheng Yudie sent them a ride, and without entering the yard, he told Yuncheng and Cunyin, "Keep in mind what I said, there are only so many people in the capital, it's not easy for me to set up a round, you can help me watch Come on, don't let him fool me."

They agreed.

Yuncheng and Cunyin have a division of labor, Cunyin is good at socializing, so ask him to play with those single brothers and sisters, chat with clichés, see who has a good impression of Lu Ying, and write it down first.

On the other hand, he went to Lu Ying to ask about the situation, and checked the news later.

Cunyin looked at Yuncheng for a long time, Yuncheng touched his face, "What's wrong?"

Cunyin shook his head, "It's okay, I'm going."

He is familiar and lively, and he has been staying in the shop for several years, staying at the front desk for a long time, dealing with all kinds of people, and he has developed his eloquence.

Young brothers and young ladies of the same age are easy to coax. According to the sales rules, when you see someone, you have to praise them, and you have to pick a position to praise them. If the person smiles, you will successfully build up the basic trust, and the follow-up inquiries will go smoothly.

Seeing him talking, Yuncheng squeezed in, completely amazed, and turned to look for Ye Cunshan.

Ye Cunshan was with Lu Ying, cut into the topic according to Yuncheng's plan, and asked him how he procrastinated until now, "Cousin Wenrui's child is one year old."

Wen Hao is also married, if Wen Hao is not still in the Guozijian, and caught up with the year of the township examination, he should have a child.

Lu Ying said that he was busy a few years ago.

Yuncheng came here at this moment, and he agrees with this point, "Now I'm free, can I take a look?"

Lu Ying just looked at the people in the yard.

They are all at the best age, male and female, and they are very pleasing to the eye.

The actors on the stage have all been carefully dressed, and everyone on and off the stage is beautiful.

He thought it was funny, "Why do you two come to join in the fun?"

He also pointed to the banker who had a hot chat with someone, "You called him? Let him come back soon."

Yun Cheng didn't bark, "It's okay if you procrastinate all the time. If you have any requirements, please speak carefully, and the third aunt will definitely listen. If you press too much, you will be annoyed."

He also stated his guesses, and asked Lu Ying if there was someone he liked, or if he had any concerns, or someone who was more idealistic, and he didn't meet the right person.

Ye Cunshan answered abruptly, "I heard someone was injured in a bad position..."

He glanced down, and the words behind him were self-evident.

Lu Ying originally had a glass of wine, but she couldn't drink it anymore, "Are you two trying to get mad at me?"

Yun Cheng asked: "Do you have any difficulties and can't tell?"

Lu Ying shook her head, "It's not a problem, it's almost interesting to anyone."

Yun Cheng understood.

His previous inference was correct, Lu Ying really wanted to find someone who was like-minded.

"Third Aunt said there was a child from the general's family running in?"

It's okay if you don't mention it, but if you mention it, Lu Ying will be angry.

"Wen Rui and I are going to Liao City for disaster relief this time. It snowed there in October, and several villages in the north of the city were buried. After the news came to Beijing, Wen Rui sent someone to set off. I just came back from Huai City. I am more familiar with the snow environment, so I went to help. After a few days, my father brought people here to help, and they were all teenagers."

He doesn't speak ill of others, but uses himself as an example, "Military generals are not necessarily neat people. For example, in the past, did they look like they were doing business? They were similar to me back then."

Seeing these people is like seeing his past self, and it hurts his head to scold him.

Because of the severe snowstorm, it was impossible for General Lu to engage in personal affairs, and the main thing was to work.

Those who brought them, most of them disliked the cold outside, knew the danger on the way back to Beijing, and were willing to stay warm on the kang, anyway, they didn’t have to worry about eating and drinking, and just waited to return to Beijing to receive the reward.

A few people, especially a few individuals.

Lu Ying didn't even want to mention it, "I'm very ambitious, I went to Wenrui to be courteous, and there were bed climbers, my father brought people back at that time."

No one in this generation of aristocratic sons is more outstanding than Wen Rui. Lu Ying can barely understand their behavior, "But Wen Rui is married, and they are rushing to become concubines. When I come back, my father will have to scold me!"

Brothers and sisters who are well raised at home, go out and become concubines, doesn't that sound good?

"It doesn't sound good," Yun Cheng asked him, "What about you?"

Lu Ying glanced at him, lowered her eyes and drank, "Yes, I kicked him down, and went to the door yesterday to apologize, and it's private."

He kicks hard, and the opponent wants to be famous.

The man was brought by his family, and he bowed his head to the steps, so he can still get along in the future.

Yuncheng had nothing to say, and gave Ye Cunshan a wink.

Ye Cunshan asked: "Then what do you think?"

Lu Ying said Suiyuan, and thought of another thing, "Oh, by the way, I need your help with something, you go and tell my mother, tell her that I have someone in my heart, and I am in contact, and tell her not to arrange a match for me. , If we arrange it again, my little love will fly away, and there will be no talk about my marriage."

That's not going to help, it sounds like a joint scam.

Lu Ying said it was true, "I got along well with him in Huaicheng, I'll try again."

Ye Cunshan: "Then you didn't say it earlier?"

Lu Ying: "It's too far away, now I think I can work harder."

It is indeed too far from Huaicheng to Kyoto.

Anyway, Ye Cunshan was not willing to ask his children to marry far away, so Lu Ying's marriage is still a mystery.

Lu Ying asked them to think about it, and he got up and went to the stage.

The theater stage was set up on the martial arts arena, on a large flat ground, without any shelter or obstruction.

The side verandah provides protection from the wind, and long narrow wooden planks extending from the edges serve as stools.

If you think this place is simple, you can also go to the nearby Nuan Pavilion, and you can listen to the play.

People who are used to staying in Kyoto are resistant to frost.

The snow has been shoveled on the ground, wrapped in a cloak, holding a hand stove, and doing activities outside, it is not so cold.

Most people are playing outside, and foreign visitors like depositing money have to follow outside if they want to squeeze in and make clichés.

The one who came out to pay New Year's greetings, he was not as delicate as the young lady, and he didn't bring the hand stove that he got on his birthday, when he talked to people, his hands were tucked into his cloak, and his ears were red from the cold.

Lu Ying sat next to him, blocking the wind blowing from the side, and stuffed a glass of soju in Cunyin's hand, "Can I drink it?"

Depositing the silver hand through the cloak, afraid of spilling the wine, he hurriedly reached out to catch it from inside.

The wine was still hot, and his fingertips were too cold to feel hot.

I asked him if he could have a drink, but he didn't answer. He took a sip and was so hot that he didn't want to drink it anymore.

"Too intense."

The strong wine is only warmed after drinking, and it won't hurt you if it boils. You can stay at home, and you can send it back to him if you are really drunk.

Lu Ying didn't bother to talk about this reason, "Don't drink anymore? Then give me the cup."

Cun Yin's throat was still hot, watching him not speak for a long time, he finished the glass with his head up, covered his mouth with a dry cough, and returned the glass with one hand.

The cough brought on the heat in his body, and he quickly became dry.

Lu Ying asked him what he found out.

There were no people left here, there were standing and sitting people, he came over frankly, speaking without hiding or avoiding, asking a question was as casual as a normal conversation.

Cunyin squeezed his throat, "I found out that you have a bad temper, and you're still a picky pick."

The people next to him laughed, and Lu Ying also laughed, asking him if he had any more.

Cunyin's family is not good at drinking, they all drink by the glass, and each has its own wine.

He has a violent personality, even when he is drunk, after trying his best to restrain himself, when he speaks again, he brings some grievances that he can hardly suppress.

"He also likes to provoke people."

This sentence is very light, suppressed by the tones of the opera, the wind blows in the opposite direction, and there are noisy young people standing on the other side.

Cunyin felt that he should not be heard, and looked up at the excitement on the stage, with tears in his eyes, which were hazy.

Lu Ying called him, but he ignored him.

So Lu Ying did it herself, put on the cloak and hat for him, covering his red ears from the cold.

The hat is big and the fur is so warm.

As soon as you put it on, the heat rises.

Maybe it was wrapped up, which gave him a sense of security, and Chu Yin could quietly look sideways, looking around from the corner of his eye.

There are playful fluff in his sight, a bit like when he was hiding in the grass and playing hide-and-seek with others when he was a child.

You can see it, but you can't see it clearly.The seam in the gap was too big, and he couldn't hide it.

Lu Ying asked him, "Why didn't you wear that red cape?"

Cunyin raised his hand and patted his face. The temperature on his face was much higher than that of his hands, so he didn't move his hands away, and put another layer of cover through the hat.

"I've grown taller," he said.

After speaking, he didn't want to sit here anymore, he wanted to go home.

Standing up and wobbling, Lu Ying gave him a hand.

Cuyin also asked him a question, "Did you receive the letter I wrote to you?"

Lu Ying asked which one it was.

Cunyin asked back, "Which letter did you receive last?"

Lu Ying said it was blank.

"You wrote it later?"

Chu Yin said no, "I didn't write it down."

Lu Ying didn't say whether she believed it or not, she took a little visual inspection of Cunyin's height and called Ye Cunshan to come over.

"One glass of wine is enough to get drunk."

Yun Cheng followed, feeling a little embarrassed, "My family doesn't drink well, and they all drink in one glass."

Cunyin drank less often than Yuncheng. Once he was so drunk that he didn't dare to drink again when he woke up. Today, he couldn't walk with strong alcohol.

Ye Cunshan carried him on his back and said goodbye today.

Lu Ying walked beside her and asked Yun Cheng how he was thinking.

Yun Cheng's expression was indescribable, "Can you convince his parents? Huai City is really too far away, most people would not marry far away."

Lu Ying: "How do you know if you don't try?"

Yun Cheng sent out a soul torture: "Then do you want to go back to Huai City?"

Lu Ying didn't say a word, Yun Cheng couldn't believe it: "You want letters to convince you? Relying on letters three times a year to get someone to come and marry you from afar?"

Lu Ying: "...Don't talk about this, can you help?"

Yuncheng: "We are willing to help you with your matter, but you have to be prepared for bad results. If you say this, Aunt San will definitely not believe you."

It's enough to have someone to help.

Lu Ying helped carry Yuanyuan to the carriage, Yun Cheng stayed a step behind and told Third Aunt about this.

Cheng Yudie really didn't believe it, "You guys have discussed it and lied to me?"

Yun Cheng said no, "It took us a long time to ask. My cousin said that he didn't talk about it before because he was too far away, and he wanted to try again."

Cheng Yudie: "That means you were deceived by him."

Yuncheng tried to work harder, but Cheng Yudie didn't want to listen anymore, "I just said he has a lot of money, you go back first, I want him to look good after today's show."

The mission failed, and he went to the side of the carriage with a face full of shame.

Lu Ying said it was all right, "In the future, once you see my mother, tell her once, and she will believe it after two or three times."

Yun Cheng: "..."

He got into the carriage, and when he was far away, he said to Ye Cunshan the same way, "I think both mother and son are not easy to mess with, and I said three times, I will hide and go away from now on."

Ye Cunshan laughed at him, "Are you not grateful now?"

Yun Cheng waved his hand, "Brothers, why are you being polite?"

The author has something to say:

It's almost here, Xiao Cunyin has grown taller and grown up, the dowry shop and wedding dress are all in preparation, just waiting to get married =w=

Good night, readers!

see you tomorrow!
