Phoenix Hairpin Chapter 137: New Year
The new year of the ninth year of Yongjia came in the heavy snow.
It snowed all night and stopped at five watch. As soon as you step on it, it is a deep foot socket.
As a courtier, I have to enter the palace early in the morning on New Year's Day. Today, Emperor Yongjia is leading civil and military officials and a group of princes to sacrifice to the gods and the imperial temple, and there is a grand banquet in the palace.
I ordered the ladies to get up early and enter the harem to meet the Empress Dowager Zhao, Queen Qiao.
The maid-servants and personal soldiers of the Lu Mansion, all dressed in thick cotton-padded clothes, came to greet the master with joy.
Lu Mingyu and Shen Lan sat in the inner hall with a large basket of copper coins beside them. There is a reward for those who come to please. Lu Fu's reward was also interesting, so he went to the basket and grabbed a handful. Grab as much as you can.
The maids with small hands and weak hands can't hold a few, and the stewards with palms as big as palm fans are different from the personal soldiers. Reach out for a slick, and it is full of copper coins. It made the maids' eyes turn red with envy.
Shen Lan was the first to see such liveliness, and said with a low smile, "It's interesting to have such a red seal."
Lu Xuan hurriedly smiled and said, "This is what the fourth sister came up with."
"It's the New Year, let's make it a festive and lively one." Lu Mingyu smiled and said, "I have prepared enough chicken, duck, fish, and wine in the kitchen. On New Year's Day, let everyone have a good meal."
Why are the soldiers of the Lu family loyal to their masters and not afraid of death?
Here's why.
Lu Lin governed the army strictly and trained his own soldiers, never soft-hearted. However, in addition to being fierce in training, it is extremely good for the personal soldiers.
The money is rich every noon of the month, so you can dress warmly and eat well. If you are killed in battle, you will have rich pensions and money to settle down. Those who are injured and have nowhere to go, stay in the Lu Mansion as a pensioner.
Lu Mingyu had been in charge of the family for six years, and treated the soldiers equally well.
In this way, the personal soldiers are also loyal to Lu Lin's father and daughter.
Shen Lan listened silently, remembering each one in her heart.
Lu Mingyu is about to get married, and in the future, the inner house will be handed over to her. She can't be compared with Lu Mingyu, at least, can't chill everyone's heart.
"Fourth sister, it's cold today, shall we eat hot pot for lunch?" Lu Mingyue suggested with a look of anticipation.
Lu Xuan is also very greedy: "Yes, yes, there are frozen sheep in the house, sliced into thin meat rolls, rinsed in a hot pot, and dipped in some spicy oil and autumn oil, not to mention how beautiful." /
Shen Lan also likes to eat hot pot. However, as a bride and a second sister-in-law, you have to be reserved. So, she swallowed quietly and said nothing.
Lu Mingyu knows more about Shen Lan, and jokes with a smile: "Second sister-in-law doesn't say a word, don't you want to eat?"
Shen Lan was no longer reserved, and immediately said: "The soup is the most delicious with pheasant hanging."
……
The fragrant and steaming pheasant soup is tumbled with green vegetable leaves, white bamboo shoots and tofu.
Lu Mingyu holds a frozen leg of lamb in his left hand and a thin dagger in his right hand. With a slight movement of his right hand, the slices of mutton as thin as cicada's wings flew into the pot like snowflakes.
Slices of lamb fell into the pot, tumbled in the fragrant chicken broth, and were scalded in an instant.
This is not the first time Shen Lan has met. Every time she sees it, she always marvels: "Xiaoyu, you are amazing!"
Lu Mingyu laughed casually: "The trick of carving insects is nothing."
She has practiced martial arts and swords since she was a child, and has also practiced archery hard. Fallen leaves and flying flowers in her hands can also hurt people.
Shen Lan sighed sincerely: "Xiaoyu, how do you feel about a peerless master?"
Lu Mingyu gave a thoughtful look, and then replied seriously, "I'm used to it, so that's it!"
Shen Lan spat at her with a smile.
Lu Mingyue and Lu Xuan were busy bowing their heads and eating and drinking, and soon sweat broke out on their foreheads.
After cutting a leg of lamb, Lu Mingyu sat down slowly, took a sip of fruit wine, and ate a sip of hot lamb. This day is really arbitrary.
Lu Lin, father and son, returned home after dark.
In the evening and at noon, they also eat a hot pot of pheasant soup.
Lu Fei wanted to show his hand in front of his new wife, so he brought a frozen leg of lamb. Before he cut a few pieces of lamb, Shen Lan smiled and said, "It's better for Xiaoyu to cut it quickly and well."
Lu Fei: "..."
Amid the laughter, Lu Fei looked at Lu Mingyu helplessly: "Fourth sister, can you save face for the second brother?"
Lu Mingyu replied without sincerity: "I didn't mean it either."
After dinner, everyone gathered in one place to play cards and throw dice. Lu Mingyu was so lucky that he won away the private house that Lu Xuan had saved for a year.
Lu Xuan thumped his chest and feet in chagrin, which made everyone feel happy again.
……
On the second day of the new year, married Lu Mingfang and Lu Minghua returned with their husband-in-law.
From the third to the sixth day, relatives and friends walk around each other. The Lu Mansion was already prominent, and after Lu Mingyu and the second prince got engaged, the word "geng" should be added before they became prominent.
In the past few days, the people who came to the door to vote for the post were like Jiang Zhiqing.
Most of them were removed from the sieve, and the Lu Mansion was still very lively with people coming and going every day.
As a prince, Li Jing is constantly entertained at various banquets every day. Only showed up on the third day of junior high. It didn't stop until the New Year's Day.
In the past few years, Dawei has been fighting for territory, but Yan and Chu have not calmed down much. However, Dawei Jingcheng is a bustling scene~IndoMTL.com~ The Lantern Market on Shangyuan Festival is also the busiest time of the year.
Lu Lin told Lu Fei with a smile: "I'm going to the military camp, you don't go today. Accompany Mr. Shen to the lamp market to see the excitement."
Lu Fei responded with a smile.
Zheng Zhong has already decided on the restaurant with the best location. It is very convenient to watch lanterns, guess riddles, eat Lantern Festival and watch juggling. Zhou Li and Lu Minghua also returned to the house early, and everyone was talking and laughing, preparing to go to the lamp market together.
"Fourth Sister," Lu Minghua asked with a smile, "Will His Highness the Second Prince come today?"
Lu Mingyu said with a casual smile: "I specifically told me before that I would like to enjoy the lanterns with me on the Spring Festival, and it should come soon."
Li Jingqian personally brought a New Year's gift over and invited her to visit the Lantern City on the New Year's Day. The fiancé actively looked for various opportunities to be courteous, but Lu Mingyu did not refuse, so he agreed.
Before she finished speaking, Qiyun came to report with a smile: "Miss, the second prince has come down."
Li Jing often visits the door, and the Lu family was flattered and cautious from the beginning, but now they are not used to it. No one even went to greet Lu Mingyu.
Fiancée couples held hands and kissed each other as soon as they met. They were too annoying.
Lu Mingyu walked to the front door, and a handsome young man in a jade-green robe came into view.
After a year, Li Jing became taller and slender. Standing with a smile, eyes like the spring breeze.
Lu Mingyu glanced at the past, opened his mouth and said, "It's so cold, why are you wearing such thin clothes?"
Li Jing: "..."
The peacock who opened the screen, accidentally met a fiancee who didn't understand the style, and was really depressed.
