Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    It was not yet dawn and the sound of firecrackers was heard by the Kitchen God, who urged us to open the door early.  Zhong Kui hung up the new painting first, and the red spring poster sold well.

    The aroma of Atractylodes in the furnace is lingering, and there is a yellow paper divine tablet with the name of Tianzun written on it.  The ashes of burned paper are not swept away, and the sun sets and people are drunk and undressed.

    The first day of the Lunar New Year is New Year¡¯s Day, and people¡¯s task on this day is to pay New Year greetings.

    At the fourth watch, Zhao Hao was woken up by Zhao Shouzheng, and then he kowtowed to his father to pay New Year greetings.

    After the father and son had finished dressing up, they came out and sat down in the main room to receive New Year greetings from the juniors, guards, and servants.

    Today, all the students took off their usual black cotton trousers and jackets and put on the New Year clothes that Master customized for them at Yunjinji in Dashilar.

    The eldest brother wears a white jade red tassel hair crown, a crimson satin slit round collar robe, a crimson gold woven satin belt, a gourd-shaped jasper pendant hanging around his waist, and a black gold  Patterned deerskin warm boots.

    Several junior brothers also wear the same uniforms and boots as the senior brother, but the colors are different.  The second senior brother is orange, the third senior brother is persimmon yellow, the fourth senior brother is blue, and the fifth senior brother is sky blue.

    Zhao Hao naturally did not forget his two nephews and made them the same outfit.  They are also distinguished by color Zhao Shixi is blue and Zhao Shizhen is purple.

    When the seven people stood in a row under the hall and kowtowed to their master and great-uncle, Zhao Hao was so happy.

    "Okay, they are all good kids" Zhao Shouzheng took out the red envelopes he had prepared and handed one to each of them.

    Then Zhao Hao also gave a red envelope.

    After the seven people stood up, the senior brother said with a proud look on his face: "Everyone, can you tell if there is anything special about the dresses that master has customized for us?"

    "Then what else can't be seen? Spectrum." The second senior brother glanced triumphantly, and the three junior brothers and Zhao Shizhen said:

    "You haven't learned it, have you? Let me tell you, this light is divided into seven colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, which correspond to the colors of the seven of us."

    "Wow, that's it" The third and fifth senior brothers, who have always been obsessed with "Geometry", exclaimed and wondered when they would be able to catch up on this lesson.

    Zhao Shizhen was deeply moved. It turns out that my uncle treated me and his disciples equally. It seems that I don¡¯t need to be too inferior

    "Uncle, you are so kind. I promise to be obedient in the future" Zhao Shixi cried even more.

    Although he didn¡¯t dare to say it, he always felt in his heart that Zhao Hao looked down on him and treated him like a servant.

    Today he realized that he was wrong. In the eyes of his uncle, he, his apprentice, and Zhao Shizhen, whom he valued, all had the same status.

    "It's just because I was so incompetent that my uncle wanted to beat me" Zhao Shixi thought silently.

    As everyone knows, Zhao Hao just wanted to recruit a gourd brother, so he did something for him.

    "Well, if you study hard in the future, your uncle will naturally treat you better." Of course, a good teacher must not let go of any opportunity for bad influence.  Zhao Hao showed a kind smile and said:

    "You've been doing well these days. I'll give you two days off during the Chinese New Year, so you can relax."

    "Hey, thank you, uncle!" Zhao Shizhen was so excited that he touched the burrs in his arms and thought that he could finally spend it

    ??~~

    When the apprentice nephew retired, Gao Wu and Cai Ming led a group of men from Caijiaxiang in. They all knelt down on the ground with a roar and wished the master and the young master a happy new year.

    A dozen loud voices rang out at the same time, almost knocking over the roof.

    "Okay, everyone has worked hard in the past year." Zhao Shouzheng happily helped Gao Wu up, took his hand and said, "I'm really sorry that you can't reunite with your family during the New Year."

    Gao Wu looked at his old club silently, speechless for a long time.

    Zhao Hao knew that such vain polite words were too difficult for Brother Gao

    He took out the red envelopes and gave them to the guards one by one, and also helped Gao Wu out of the siege.

    ¡°Now these ten or so men from Caijiaxiang are no longer the temporary helpers before.

    Before leaving Jinling, Zhao Hao signed a five-year guard contract with them. They are already the official guards of the Zhao Mansion - they have uniform clothing, generous welfare benefits, high compensation for work-related injuries, and every year.  There are even big red envelopes to get during the holidays.

    " Such a good job, I can't find another place even if I carry a lantern."

    After the guards left happily, about 20 people including the housekeeper, cook, and maidservants also came in to kowtow to pay New Year greetings.

    Although they were originally hired by Zhao Jin, Zhao Hao also made it clear to them that whenAfter father and son get married, everyone can choose in both directions.

    So although they are panicking these days, they are more careful about how they work hard.

    Therefore, Zhao Hao is quite satisfied with them.  To celebrate the Chinese New Year, everyone also gets a red envelope.

    Of course, it is much smaller than the one given to the guards

    After receiving the New Year¡¯s greetings from his family, Zhao Shouzheng stood up and said, ¡°Father, I went to the porridge factory to visit. If I go out too late, I will be blocked at home by New Year¡¯s greeters.¡±

    "Well, then I'll go out quickly." Zhao Hao nodded and said to Calabash Baby: "You can go and greet the New Year separately. It's enough for one of you to stay at home to receive the guests."

    The disciples and nephews left in response, and the room suddenly became quiet.

    Zhao Hao said to his father: "Why do I feel like I am missing someone?"

    "Is there any?" Zhao Shouzheng didn't feel it.

    "Yes" With a sad and indignant protest, Fang Wen appeared and said aggrievedly: "You haven't given me a red envelope yet."

    "Hey, what were you doing just now?" Zhao Shouzheng quickly gave him a red envelope.

    "Brother Gao and I kowtowed together" Fang Wen took the red envelope and packed his luggage for the master to go out.

    "You kid, if you hang out with them, who can see you?" Zhao Shouzheng smiled and said, "Stand forward next time, remember?"

    ¡°I¡¯m afraid of standing in front of others, so I stand back without realizing it¡­¡±

    The two of them talked and went out. Zhao Hao smiled at Zhao Shizhen, who was temporarily acting as his book boy, and said, "Let's go too."

    ??~~

    Gao Wu then drove Zhao Hao out of Chunsong Hutong.

    Zhao Hao is going to Wu Shilai¡¯s house first.

    Normally, of course, we should first pay New Year greetings to the eldest princess.

    "But the eldest princess and her family went to the palace last night to accompany the emperor's brother to celebrate the New Year. They were frustrated by red tape all night, so they naturally had to catch up on their sleep after returning home.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????? together off  The eldest princess was afraid that Gan'er's trip would be in vain, so she sent someone to send a message the day before yesterday, asking him to go elsewhere to pay New Year's greetings.

    He and his father can just come to the house to catch lunch.

    Zhao Hao went straight out of Chongwenmen and saw that the streets were full of people wearing new clothes and new hats and going to pay New Year's greetings with great joy.  Even the carriages and horses are scrubbed and wiped clean, and the rich people also change the carriage clothes into festive red and green colors

    There are no shabby shacks that are an eyesore, no homeless people in ragged clothes, and no beggars pestering passers-by. The appearance of this city has really changed.

    "I think Mr. Xu Ge should be very satisfied" Zhao Hao put down the car curtain with a sarcastic smile on his lips.

    ¡®However, my mentality is a bit dangerous¡¯

    There were few cars on the first day of the new year, so we arrived at Wu Shilai's house without knowing it.

    After exchanging New Year greetings with Wu Kangyuan, he led Zhao Hao to the back house to meet Wu Shilai.

    "My uncle hasn't gotten up yet." Wu Kangyuan whispered: "I spent the whole night at Shuntian Mansion last night, and I haven't been at home for the New Year."

    "What happened?" Zhao Hao asked casually.

    "Hey" Wu Shilai walked out with dark circles under his eyes, sighing and saying, "Weren't you made trouble by those refugees?"

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong with them?¡± Zhao Hao¡¯s ears perked up when he heard the word ¡®refugee¡¯.
