Chapter 665 Chapter 665: Prelude to the Dragon Slaying Bureau (Part 2)【Ask for a monthly ticket】
Year twenty-nine, daytime.
Because of the war not long ago and the lack of preparation time, even on a big day like the New Year, the festive atmosphere in Sibao County is not strong. Even though the conditions were limited, Shen Tang still ordered people to clean up the government office, arrange some festive decorations, and told the common people in the city that from New Year's Eve to the seventh day, there would be lights and fireworks in the city at night.
Fireworks should be watched in a fixed place.
With four years of hosting experience, I am very familiar with this matter.
Shen Tang, the hands-off shopkeeper, felt at ease.
No, it is not accurate to say that the shopkeeper is throwing away.
She is preparing to press the money right now, and this matter cannot be left in the hands of others. Children's, adults', bulging mini money bags are piled up in hills. I used to be too poor, and the money I gave was only one or two coppers, but this year it has been fully upgraded!
Little angel Lin Feng also came to help.
After all, in such a large government office, there are not only a few confidantes who pray for goodness, but also a large number of Cao officials. For small benefits such as a lottery, we must not forget these hard-working screws. While filling it with broken silver and copper coins, Shen Tang murmured, "...Alas, what a pity, this year's sports meeting will not be able to be seen. It must be very lively at Zhisuo Ruyao, right?"
Longwu County has several Chu Yao townships, and the autumn harvest in the territory exceeded expectations, and every household of the common people saved some food reserves. With food in hand and no panic in their hearts, they can now enjoy the atmosphere of the New Year with a more relaxed attitude.
Lin Feng replied: "I received a letter from the teacher a few days ago, saying that the sports meeting is well prepared and the scale is much larger than last year."
From the third session, there is no limit to the number of participants.
Common people in the territory who are interested can also sign up to participate.
Winning or losing is not important, the key is participation.
"It's a pity that I can't see it. I don't know who will get the pig this year... Tsk, I haven't had time to taste it yet..." A New Year without a full pig feast is meaningless.
Fattening pigs, isn’t it just waiting for the New Year to be slaughtered?
Lin Feng had long expected that Shen Tang would recite them, and said with a smile: "The teacher knew that the Lord would recite them, so not only letters were sent over a few days ago, but also the chef of Ruyao's office and the ten-headed chef The selected pig was sent to the East Kitchen."
When Shen Tang heard this, his saliva began to squirm.
"He who knows my stomach has no obscurity."
year twenty-nine, nightfall.
Although this year's situation is special, Shen Tang's tent is not full of staff, but everyone who should be there has arrived, and it is quite lively to watch.
"Shaomei, happy new year."
Hand out the pressed mini red envelope.
"A happy new year, my lord."
Liao Jia came first. Today I specially changed into a bright red toga, and even the flowers on the Futou hairpin looked festive. He smiled and took Shen Tang's pressured money, and with a pinch of his fingers, he knew that the lord was not harmed by Xun Zhen this year, and the small treasury was a little fuller.
Others also rushed forward.
Luan Xin also brought his wife and children to the banquet.
As soon as he entered, Luan Xin's wife's expression became a little unnatural, and she took the three children to her side. Without him, all the people present went to the banquet alone, without their wives and belts. Although there are several female monarchs, they are all unmarried by their attire.
This makes her family very special.
In fact, she judged wrong.
In addition to Luan Xin's family of five, Xun Zhen also brought her son.
Luan Xin also sensed his wife's emotions, secretly pursed his lips, and stood where he was, not knowing how to advance or retreat. Until Shen Tang came over to say hello: "Gongyi, happy new year. This is Mrs. Zun and your son, Lingmei? They are all born well, and they only pick their parents' strengths..."
Shen Tang's fingers were itchy, and he couldn't help pinching the youngest girl, that chubby, pink and tender little face, the feeling of pinching is really amazing! I pinch and want to pinch. The other party first looked at Shen Tang uneasily, probably remembering the instructions from his parents before going out, and said crisply: "Mr. Shen, have a healthy New Year."
The other two older children also followed suit.
"Yeah, well, well-being, well-being, well-behaved boy." Shen Tang took out the most special three big red envelopes from his sleeve, and gave them to the three children respectively. His eyes were shining brightly, and there was an inexplicable ... excitement that Luan Xin and his wife could not decipher?
Can you not be excited?
There are many singles in her tent, and there are very few new generations.
Before, they only gave red envelopes to the children of Jiang Sheng's family and the daughter of Ning Yan's family, but when Shen Zhi's daughter was born, the new year had already passed. This red envelope is very comfortable to give.
"Thank you Shen Jun."
The three children are very polite.
Luan Xin and his wife also received the pressured money, although he had already passed the age of receiving the pressured money, but he still took it, and asked Shen Tang casually: "My lord, why don't you see the family members of other colleagues? Or is it set up separately?" Reception?"
Shen Tang glanced at the disappointing crowd.
asked back: "Is it because they don't want to come without their families?"
Madam Luan Xin was delicate, and thought that the others did not let their family members follow them because of the war. When she thought about who her opponent was, her expression froze slightly, and she felt uncomfortable standing here.
Who knows, Shen Tang made up his mind: "Not to mention raising such icy and lovely children, it would be great if they could find a woman to marry first. In the past, they would have to pay an extra poll tax!"
To put it simply, it is illegal to marry if you are over a certain age.
Not only will you be punished, but you will also have to pay more taxes.
Although Shen Tang herself advocates free love, she has a group of single dogs under her tent. As the protagonist, she is also very stressed.
Why?
Because marriage and childbearing also belong to the scope of happiness investigation.
There are too many single dogs, which reflects that the company's benefits are not good, employees cannot support their families, or frequent overtime work squeezes employees, squeezing employees' time and energy for marriage and childbirth.
No matter which item, Shen Tang felt that he was wronged.
These single nail households may not be solved by Cupid shooting golden arrows with Gatling. They don't want to get married and start a family. Where can Shen Tang go to develop sustainably, oppress...ah no, train their next generation? Therefore, she found Luan Xin more pleasing to the eye.
Luan Xin: "..."
There aren’t so many taboos about going up and down during Chinese New Year, so Gu Chi choked out: “My lord, have you ever heard what is meant by ‘acting from above to below’?”
Shen Tang looked at him angrily: "Gu Wangchao!"
However, Gu Chi is really not afraid of death.
"If the lord sets an example, we must follow suit."
Shen Tang didn't believe that he couldn't cure him, so he pointed to the maid at Bucai and said, "Remove Gu Duyou's drink and change the milk."
Gu Chi: "..."
The other people watching the fun couldn't help laughing.
Gu Chi, who was watched by the crowd, said angrily: "Why are you laughing? Everyone is not younger than me, and they are all alone. It's hard to be old? I have a marriage contract, what do you guys have? All on one side go!"
Shen Zhi smiled and said, "I have a daughter."
Lin Feng also followed suit: "I'm still young."
Bai Su, who rarely changed into a pretty red outfit, took a sip of his drink, blushing on his cheeks: "I have no shortage of people to like."
Gu Chi: "..."
Take a deep breath, this day is impossible!
(╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻
"Let's have fun with the lord."
The fifth New Year was spent with congratulations.
Thirty years, the lanterns are like daytime, and the sky is full of fireworks.
Even though the notice has been publicized in advance, the common people in Xiaocheng are still very restrained. After nightfall, not many tourists came out to play on the street. It wasn't until the fireworks lit up the sky that more and more common people couldn't help their curiosity and went out with their families to enjoy the fireworks in Lantern City. Bewitched by the dazzling fireworks show, their nerves that had been strained for many years were temporarily relieved...
Shen Tang likes to sit on a high place and admire the world, as if she can grasp the fleeting beauty by raising her hand.
"Dongfeng puts thousands of flowers and trees at night, and blows them down, and the stars are like rain. BMW carved cars are fragrant all over the road. The sound of the phoenix flute, the light of the jade pot, and the dance of fish and dragons all night..." Shen Tang can now perfectly control the words and spirits and no longer lose control , It's been a long time since I've had an oolong in my literary style.
Of course, in order to arrange this year's fireworks, she doesn't have much style left. Looking up is the bright fireworks, bowing the head is the variety of life. In her mouth, she whispered this poem full of magnificence: "... I searched for him thousands of times in the crowd, and suddenly I looked back..."
"Suddenly looking back..." Shen Tang paused for a moment, and couldn't help remembering that from the time he just crossed over, he was alone, to now, there is a group of like-minded friends behind him who are worthy of entrustment, "I can't bear the gift, and I can still sleep and dream. "
Someone is spoiling the scenery under the roof.
"Isn't it thirty today? Tomorrow is also the first day of junior high school."
There is no good moonlight to give at all.
Shen Tang, who was expressing his emotions, darkened.
Threatening below: "Xun Yong'an, if you don't want to be whipped by your father during Chinese New Year, you'd better treat yourself as dumb!"
Someone below immediately shut up.
Following, Shen Tang heard a slight chuckle.
Her heart skipped a beat.
The whole person is hanging upside down under the eaves, eye-to-eye with Xun Ding in the private room of the restaurant. To be precise, Xun Ding is looking at her, and she is looking at Gongxilai. Gong Xilai was also taken aback by the bat-like Shen Tang, but quickly calmed down again: "Shen Jun."
Shen Tang was heartbroken: "I have owed my entrustment!"
Now it was Xun Ding's turn to feel his heart skip a beat.
"My lord!"
Hao Daer's voice was pleading.
Shen Tang said bluntly: "It's useless for you to call me a princess. Before Gong Xiqiu left, he entrusted Alai to me, and asked me to guard against fire and theft, Xun Yong'an. You're lucky, I won't have an empty nest with you during the New Year's Eve." The old father was watching the night together, and asked Alai’s sister to come here to watch the fireworks and visit the lantern market. Tell me honestly, is your boy uneasy and kind? You are going to wait for Gong Xichou to come back, give him a big surprise, and make him happy to be an uncle If you dare to do this, Gong Xiqiu will not only beat you, but also me!"
Xun Ding: "..."
He didn't quite understand Shen Tang's words.
But the core meaning is understood.
Immediately blushed and waved his hands: "No! No!"
Looking at Gong Xilai nervously, for fear of being misunderstood. Although it is very cool to pit Gong Xiqiu, he will never use such a low-key and irresponsible way. If you like someone, you must go step by step. Even if he knew it was difficult to get Gong Xichou to nod.
Shen Tang had had enough teasing, and felt at ease.
Before leaving, he did not forget to tell Gongxi to come.
"Your elder brother ordered, don't go through the gate control before going home."
Gong Xilai blushed and said, "Yes."
When Shen Tang disappeared, Xun Ding asked Gongxi to come.
"When is there access control?"
Gong Xilai also shook his head: "I don't know."
Of course she didn't know, because it was Shen Tang's nonsense.
Luan Xin and his three children watched the lanterns and flowers together. There were more and more people on the street. His wife looked at him worriedly, "Do you want to find a place to rest?" The three children were restrained at first, but they are children after all. , soon relaxed and troubled.
Luan Xin has difficulty in legs and feet, and it is difficult to follow.
He waved his hand: "No, it's okay as a husband. It's rare for the children to be so happy. There are many people on the street, so don't worry if you don't follow."
The eldest son is fine, but the second son and youngest daughter can’t stay idle.
The wife hesitated to speak.
She was not only afraid that Luan Xin would be tired, but also worried that Luan Xin would think of unpleasant things. There were such activities in the past, he was always bored in the study alone, otherwise he would stay in the official office and refused to come out. Luan said: "There is no need to worry so much."
He paused and said, "It's all over."
People with cultivation qualifications are mostly precocious.
Luan Xin could remember things when he was very young.
He clearly remembered that he came from an ordinary family, not the son of the Luan family whose ancestors were famous for a while and then fell into decline. Parents keep a small business and support the family, poor but stable. But the word stability is a luxury in this world where one can change two nationalities in one lifetime. So the war caused him to lose his parents. He fled with the refugees and made a living by begging.
I remember that it was an equally lively Shangyuan Festival.
This festival belongs to the romantic, the talented and the beautiful, and he is just a shivering bug curled up in the darkest corner of the city. But even bugs like light and heat. When he was young, he couldn't help being tempted and tried to join the crowd, followed by a speeding carriage and the severe pain that ran over his right leg...
It’s just that these pains seem insignificant after many years of breaking the hamstring, cutting off half of the patella, and pouring boiling water.
The wife bit her lip lightly: "But..."
Luan Xin felt that there was not much literary spirit left in the Dan Mansion, and said gently and elegantly: "Didn't the lord say that? This fireworks and lantern show is prepared for the common people in the city, not just who it belongs to..."
The world in his eyes is more splendid than others.
Since you can see it, why don't you come and take a look?
The wife stopped persuading after hearing the words.
Just pay more attention to staring at the three children and not running around.
Luan Xin sighed: "My husband is a Wenxin scribe, which kidnapper can abduct someone under the nose of a Wenxin scribe?"
The wife said: "It's not just about being stolen by kidnappers."
There are so many tourists, it hurts to be knocked down.
Luan Xin dragged his immobile legs, and slowly followed the first and third children in front, not forgetting to remind them to walk carefully.
At this time, the fireworks show reached its climax.
A family of five came to the central venue.
There was a lot of space here, and the common people who came over were all stopped by the rope, and there was only one person in the center of the venue. This person is tall and tall, with a mediocre appearance, exceptionally dark skin, and a simple and honest smile. A bucket of red molten iron was burning beside him.
All the tourists held their breath.
finally-
clang!
The scorching hot molten iron swayed in the air.
When iron trees and silver flowers fall, thousands of stars bloom.
This is real! Compared with Yan Ling's performance, there is another kind of grandeur and magnificence, which is dazzling.
_(:з」∠)_
Iron flower, really cool.
