Chapter 52 send away, send away, send away soon
The next day, bid farewell to the old and welcome the new.
Shen Hua woke up very early, and with great interest, he pasted the couplet crookedly, with a lot of paste on his hands.
The couplets were bought a few days ago, and the complicated paper-cuts were cut by Yicui herself. Lanterns hung high. It's all the plain white that should be in the filial piety period.
Shen Hua got off the stool she stepped on, and couldn't bear the sticky touch, and the sudden whim also dissipated. In a blink of an eye, he handed these over to Cheng Gui.
She washed her hands carefully.
The children in the alley were all wearing masks, holding hands and laughing. Seeing Shen Hua, she came over specially.
"Sister Shen. Who posted the couplets in your family?"
Shen Hua was about to point to herself proudly.
"The posting is too ugly. If I post it like this, I will definitely be beaten by my mother again."
The purse hanging around her waist is candy specially prepared by Shen Hua. She has a lot of money, so she buys some food from time to time, and always distributes some to the children in the alley.
Every time at this time, I can always hear them say sister Shen, a beautiful compliment.
Shen Hua has heard a lot. Complimentary, gentle, flattering, this is the first time she has been called ugly.
What is the difference between the ugly couplets she posted and her ugly?
The little lady pursed her lips.
If there are choices. One is hypocritically saying that the post is good, and the other is seeking truth from facts. Shen Hua is hypocritical, so she is willing to choose the first one.
"Is this candy for us? Sister Shen can find me next time. I'm the best at posting."
Under the expectant eyes of the child, Shen Hua did the most hateful thing.
She took out a piece of candy, stuffed it into her mouth in front of everyone, and fastened her purse tightly. Like the most vicious bad girl.
"My sister ate it herself. It's so sweet, it's a pity that you don't have your share."
Successfully drove away a group of children.
Shen Hua snorted softly, then turned around: "Their masks are interesting."
"Today, there will be exorcism parades on the street, playing and singing, eliminating evildoers, and protecting auspiciousness. Nuo mother is surrounded by thousands of children and 800 child guards wearing masks. These children presumably want to parade with the procession. Now, can my lady go and have a look?"
Shen Hua had never seen it before, but after hearing it, she became interested.
"Success, let Cheng's mother and the others stop busy. It's not too late to come back to prepare meals after watching the excitement left and right."
"Hey." Ning Lu responded, and hurried to call someone.
Mother Cheng is handling chickens and ducks, which are prepared for offering sacrifices to the ancestors and welcoming the Kitchen God.
"The lady let the old slave go, it is the lady who is considerate. This is your first year abroad, so naturally you can't be too hasty. The old slave will not join in the fun."
"There are many children on the street, follow Nuo Weng and Nuo Mu, you must take good care of your wife."
Shen Hua took the two maidservants and Cheng Gui out the door.
The street was bustling with gongs and drums, everything Shen Hua saw was new.
She also chose a mask specially. Don't forget to greet the three of them.
"You also choose."
While withdrawing money, he was hit on the shoulder by an oncoming person.
The girl's body was hit and she couldn't help but staggered back a few steps, almost falling. Seeing that he had caused trouble, the man just kept his head buried and left in a hurry.
"My lady, are you okay?" Yi Cui hurriedly asked.
Shen Hua was annoyed: "Stop!"
Cheng Gui reacted and grabbed the man with the sharp mouth and monkey cheeks who was holding the child. He does rough work and has great strength, so he can quickly suppress people.
Shen Wei ignored the mask, and stepped forward angrily stepping on cotton embroidered shoes. The index finger almost hit the middle-aged man's face.
is always coquettish and domineering.
"Do you know how valuable I am? If I fall to the ground and die if I don't recover, you will pay for it!"
"The avenue is so wide, who is it better to bump into me?"
He struggled, but still couldn't move.
"My lady, you are fine right now, why can't you bully me, an ordinary person, just because of the number of people?"
Seeing that Shen Wei didn't speak, he could only say impetuously: "Okay, tell me a price, can I still pay it?"
It's fine if he doesn't say this, but when he said this, Shen Hua laughed angrily.
She looked the man up and down sarcastically.
Finally landed on the motionless child wearing a mask as if frightened.
"It's just a pawn, how much money can you give?"
"At first, if you apologized loudly and I scolded you a few times, for the sake of New Year's Eve, this matter will be forgotten. Right now, this matter must not be private."
"Yicui, bring that little devil here."
The man suddenly became excited, and his face became distorted.
"What are you doing! No matter how wrong I am, there is no reason to rob my daughter?"
People from the surrounding streets surrounded him one after another.
One strong and one weak, the contrast is sharp.
Many times, people always subconsciously believe that the weak side has suffered a lot of grievances, so they put their self-righteous heart on the opposite side of the strong person.
"You girl, you have to forgive others and forgive others. Why do you have to be so fussy in your life?"
"It's a big holiday, I think it's okay, look, the poor child is scared to death."
Shen Hua didn't say let him go, Cheng Gui would never let him go.
The two sides are at a stalemate, seeing more and more people pointing fingers. And the face of the middle-aged man became more and more red.
"Your daughter?"
Shen Hua laughed.
"Your outfit is the most ordinary. This winter coat has been washed and washed, and it has faded. It doesn't look warm anymore."
"This child's body is a new product of Yunxiang Pavilion. I am more familiar with the embroidery on it. It comes from Shenjia Embroidery Workshop in Fengzhou."
"If it is said that she is a child of the royal family, I will believe it, but if it is said that she is your daughter, I would like to ask where you stole it from?"
As soon as the voice fell, the surrounding area became silent.
Cheng Gui kicked him to the ground. The man refused to let go, and the girl was led to stagger forward.
She kept silent, something was wrong.
Yi Cui suddenly changed her face, and joined forces with Ning Zhu to pull the girl into her arms.
Shen Hua stepped forward and opened the girl's mask.
The little girl couldn't be more delicate and naive, as if she had been carefully raised. He didn't even blink, just stared blankly like that. Eyes are out of focus.
The middle-aged man hissed: "Don't slander me!"
"Whether or not to slander is determined by the Jingzhao government."
Shen Hua said lightly: "Chenggui, report to the official."
"Bah! You utterly devoid of conscience!" The common people began to scold.
"Report to the official, this matter must be reported to the official. If it weren't for this lady, the children would have been abducted! Is there still a small number of children lost in Shengjing these years? These abductees are not afraid of lightning strikes!"
Yicui: "Lady, then this little girl."
Shen Hua is most afraid of these things: "Send them together. By the way, find out who lost the child."
As she spoke, she was about to put the mask back on the girl. I saw her blinking in a daze, as if she had become conscious.
Shen Hua: "Hello! Which family are you from?"
Cui Rong was shaking all over.
"Wow!" The cry was earth-shattering.
It hurts to look at it.
Shen Wei's ears hurt from the noise, and she hurriedly said to Yi Cui: "Send it away, send it away, send it away quickly."
