After breakfast, the Yongfanyuan family of four got busy in three groups.
Because official orders to visit the palace are usually arranged on the third day of the lunar month, so on the first and second day of the lunar month, the matrons of each family are responsible for entertaining people who come to pay New Year's greetings.
Although the administrative affairs sent by Duke Sheng Guo's Mansion have nothing to do with the Zheng family, Sheng Xiangxun has a lot of relationship with the Zheng family herself.
For example, Sheng Xiangxun’s classmates, peers, colleagues, childhood friends, and friends;
There are also the old in-laws of Zheng’s natal family in Kyoto;
The entrance and exit rituals in these relationships all come from Yongfanyuan.
Oh, yes, it needs to be explained that despite the fact that big families in the capital usually communicate with each other eagerly, during these New Year days, each other would send their housekeepers or housekeepers around to bring special food and lanterns made in their respective houses to pay New Year greetings. .
It was not until the 16th day of the lunar month that each government began to prepare banquets to entertain relatives and friends, and this excitement continued until the 30th day of the first lunar month.
In other words, for more than ten days after the Lantern Festival, the wealthy families in the capital were busy between hosting banquets and rushing to the banquets.
Of course, such busyness has nothing to do with the four-year-old Shengyuan child.
Even though she is one year older, in the eyes of others, she is still a little girl with big breasts.
"Do you really want to go out with your father?" Mrs. Zheng originally wanted to take the little guy with her, but the little guy clamored to go out and experience things, and Sheng Xiangxun started talking to the guy next to her, so she had no choice but to agree. .
Sheng Yuan saw that her mother was a little jealous, so she blinked her eyes, shook her hands, and pretended to be helpless: "Mom, actually, I don't really want to go! But there's nothing I can do!"
Who made four-year-old Sheng Xiaojiuer have to personally welcome the first day of her appearance?
The baby can’t be persuaded!
Alas, who told the five-year-old Sister Yuan not to be in place yet? !
The baby had no choice but to cling to her! "
Zheng: "..."
Seeing this little thing messing around in a serious manner, Mrs. Zheng stroked her chest and quickly waved her away.
Go quickly! Go quickly!
When Sheng Yuan saw her, she jumped happily into her mother's arms, kissed her mother on the cheek, and then jumped away again.
"This little rascal!" Ms. Zheng looked at the little girl in amusement as she jumped away like a rabbit. She wiped her cheeks with a handkerchief speechlessly. The little guy was always playing tricks on people, and her cheeks were all from this little guy. saliva!
Since Grandma Yang had already gone out to pay New Year greetings from house to house, the one who was talking to her was the maid Lian Xin. She came over with red date tea and chatted with a smile: "Miss Third is smart and well-behaved. I want to kiss you!" "
Mrs. Zheng thought of her little girl who loved to be coquettish and clingy, and the smile on her face became gentler.
…
"Dad, why doesn't sister go out with us?" One hand of Sheng Yuan was held by her father, and the other hand held the lion hat on her head. She looked left and right at the high walls on both sides, feeling a little lonely. .
"Your sister wants to play with her friends. When they get together, they have to go to your husband's house to pay New Year greetings, and then go to the houses of close relatives to pay New Year greetings. If you think about it, it will be almost dark before they can go home!"
As Sheng Xiangxun was talking, he noticed from the corner of his eye that the little girl's hat was a little crooked. He saw that she was struggling to hold the hat while wearing webbed gloves. He stopped funny and straightened the hat for her, and then continued to lead the little guy. Go forward.
Sheng Yuan breathed in the cool air and exhaled hard. She felt extremely happy when she saw the white mist appearing in front of her eyes.
The reason why she and her father went to Qianjie Bookstore on foot was because since the Yan Dynasty, people with high official status were required to walk instead of driving when paying New Year's greetings on the first and second day of the lunar month. They said that this not only represented the sincere friendship between each other, It also means working hard throughout the year.
When Sheng Yuan learned about this custom, she secretly thought that this might be the reason why these wealthy families only send housekeepers or housekeepers out to pay New Year greetings during the New Year!
After hearing what the little guy said, Sheng Xiangxun felt funny at first. After thinking about it carefully, he actually felt that it was really possible.
"When I was a child, I walked with my grandfather. At that time, I thought it was probably because there were too many civil servants, military officers, emperors, relatives, and relatives in Kyoto. If we took carriages during the Chinese New Year, it would be faster to walk!"
Sheng Yuan didn't expect her father to think so much when he was a child. She sniffed her little red nose and asked curiously: "Dad, why do you want to greet your colleagues at the book club? Is it a big place? Can you put it in? Aren’t there so many officials?”
"Because it saves trouble and is simple." Sheng Xiangxun watched the little guy's eyes widen, looking around like she couldn't see enough, then he smiled and picked her up.
He was holding his little girl in his arms, and it felt like he was holding a small heater. He suddenly felt that he was really smart. This move simply killed two birds with one stone.
"Daddy!" Seeing that her father had stopped talking, Shengyuan hurriedly stretched his ears to remind him.
With his little claws grabbing his ears and lifting them up, Sheng Xiangxun grinned and weighed the troubled child: "How old are you? Why are you still stretching your adult ears like a three-year-old child?"
When Sheng Yuan heard this, she hurriedly let go of her hand and hid her little paw behind her back: "It's not my fault, it's the three-year-old sister Yuan who grabbed it!"
"..." Sheng Xiangxun had never seen such a quibbling little guy before, and asked her, "You are wrong! How old are you now, then Sheng Yuan must be responsible for how old you are.
You can't wait until you are twenty, make a mistake, and hold the nineteen Shengyuan in front of you responsible! "
"Hmm." Sheng Yuan puffed out her cheeks and looked more honest.
Sheng Xiangxun stopped talking and continued the topic.
"The book club we are going to is called 'Book Club'. It is a property under the name of the Hanlin Academy. It was originally called 'Hanlin Book Club'. Later, some censors criticized it, saying that it was using the name of the imperial court to attract business. Our then bachelor Just remove the word 'Hanlin'."
Sheng Yuan thought for a while and felt that this old man was very resourceful.
Just like your opponent gives you a straight uppercut, if you want to turn defeat into victory, or lose less embarrassingly, at least you have to hit back without thinking. It would be a bit ridiculous if you were silent for a while wondering whether to hit back with a punch or a kick. .
The old man did the same thing. He was probably stunned by the unexpected move of the censor, and he couldn't think of a better name, so deleting the words "Hanlin" was the most concise and effective way.
Just taking the name "Book Society", even the censor who is good at bickering, would not criticize these two words as problematic.
"Your boss is indeed a master!" Sheng Yuan couldn't help but praise her father.
Sheng Xiangxun was silent after listening to his little girl's analysis.
How was he going to tell the child that the old man might not have thought that much at the time, but was just a little lazy? !
But speaking of which, his daughter's brain circuit sounded a little familiar. It seemed that... Lord Shofu Zhang at that time also praised the old lady for his quick wit afterwards? !
