It has been half a month since Xie Yushu finished drawing these drawings, and the Chinese New Year will be in twenty days.
At this time, the smell of the New Year is everywhere. Han Zhongyu is busy with the year-end performance appraisal of officials. Xie Yushu, who is rarely idle, takes her grandson aunt Qu Xiaodie Nanxing and her two children to go shopping together to buy New Year goods!
Fruits, pears, dates, peanuts, couplets, New Year pictures, chickens, ducks, fish, fireworks, whatever they saw on the street, they pulled them into the car. Xiao Haitang and Chu Jinyu were even more fond of sweets with their left hand and sweet cakes with the right. What a joy!
Even Qu Xiaodie and Nan Xing were nibbling candied haws and melon seeds in their hands. Aunt Su frowned all the way, fearing that their bold appearance would make others laugh!
But everyone is busy buying their own New Year's goods, so they don't have so much energy to stare at others. A few girls are shopping and eating leisurely, which is very enjoyable!
In the end, Aunt Su couldn't stand Xie Yushu and Qu Xiaodie's persistent pursuit, so she actually took a roasted sweet potato and started eating it. Needless to say, she was a little uncomfortable at first. After a few bites, she saw that no one cared, so she actually joined in the shopping. Team!
Qu Xiaodie said proudly
"Look, sometimes you don't have to care too much about other people's opinions. Everyone is busy with their own lives, and no one cares about us!
We should behave when it is time to behave, and relax when it is time to relax. We are always so tense, how tiring it is! "
"Xiaodie is right. You don't have to be tense all the time. When you work, work hard. When you play, play hard. Only by being relaxed can you last a long time!"
Xie Yushu agreed.
After hearing this, Aunt Su swallowed the roasted sweet potato in her mouth and said
"That's not to say that the owner of the village has a good temper, has no airs, and loves to manipulate the people below. In the capital, any master who doesn't show off will have to be scolded and punished if he doesn't pay attention!"
Xie Yushu said
"Then keep your caution until we have the opportunity to enter the capital in the future. When the time comes, we will compete with them all!"
Speaking of this, Aunt Su immediately felt confident
"Don't worry, Master, I don't dare to say anything else. As for the rules, I have taught all the maids in the palace, so I guarantee they won't make any mistakes!"
"Well, the people in our villa can learn how to advance and retreat so quickly. You take the lead. I will give you a big red envelope during the Chinese New Year!"
"This is all the slave's business!"
After the group finished shopping for the new year's goods while chatting and laughing, Qu Xiaodie and Aunt Su took Begonia back first.
Xie Yushu thought that Chu Jinyu would have to trouble Han Zhongyu in the future, so she specially bought Yipinxuan's newly baked charcoal-grilled hooves, and asked Nanxing to buy Tan's famous local glutinous rice wine and lead Chu Jinyu to visit Han Zhongyu.
It can be regarded as a simple apprenticeship ceremony. Since Han Zhongyu agreed to tutor him, he can be regarded as his teacher. The ceremony cannot be discarded!
As for why other people's apprenticeship ceremony involves tea, wine, famous paintings and ancient books, but Chu Jinyu's apprenticeship ceremony involves newly baked charcoal-grilled hoof meat?
Xie Yushu is not one of the poor ones, she doesn't even take advantage of anything a little more elegant!
It's unlucky for Han Zhongyu, he only has hooves to eat when he accepts students!
When they arrived at the government office after shopping, Han Zhongyu was still busy. Xie Yushu and Chu Jinyu waited in the side room for a while. After the person reporting official business left, Han Zhongyu came over to take a look.
Hearing that Xie Yushu made a special trip to bring Chu Jinyu to give him the apprenticeship ceremony, she initially resisted, but when she saw the charcoal-roasted hooves brought up by Nan Xing, which was carrying fragrant kisses, she swallowed back half of her excuses, helped him up and bent down to salute. Chu Jinyu took the elbow obediently, took a few pieces of the sword and ate it directly.
Xie Yushu saw that his food was quite delicious and asked
"So delicious?"
"Yeah! Not bad, I happen to be hungry!"
Xie Yushu looked around and saw that there happened to be a teacup. She directly took the wine jar and poured him a glass of wine.
"Na! The hoof is like wine, the more you drink, the better you get!"
"I accept your good words!"
Han Zhongyu was really hungry. People came to report on official duties one after another. At noon, they all had a hasty meal of dry food, and there were a bunch of discounts that they didn't read. He probably had to work the night shift today, and Xie Yushu just happened to bring some food, so he just finished eating in a row. Forget it.
Although he only uses local materials, cuts them with a knife, and eats them with his hands, Han Zhongyu has the ability to eat meat with his hands very elegantly!
Xie Yushu was enjoying watching it until she was caught by Han Zhongyu, for fear that Han Zhongyu would give her a sentence
"How unbecoming is it for a woman to stare at a man like this!"
Then he pretended to be natural and refilled Han Zhongyu's glass of wine, then changed the subject with a guilty conscience.
"Master Han is so dedicated to his job, he is really a role model for us!"
Of course Han Zhongyu saw through her little thoughts, and felt a little happy in his heart. On the surface, he pretended not to care, and calmly wiped his hands with a handkerchief, but in fact, he was excited inside.
"The way she looked at me just now! Did she think I was quite handsome?
Will she like me too?
It seems that this skin is not useless!
I have to show the embroiderer later what kind of clothes look good on me and what new clothes are popular in the capital! "
Xie Yushu looked at Han Zhongyu slowly wiping her fingers without raising her head. She thought that he found that she was staring at him and was unhappy, so she thought about withdrawing, or she had to apologize, because he was fascinated by the apology. It’s quite embarrassing!
So he coughed lightly and said
"Well, Mr. Han, if there's nothing else, just go ahead and get busy, I'll take Jin Yu back!"
Han Zhongyu was about to leave as soon as he heard this, and he was visibly unhappy.
Xie Yushu took a look and found that he was indeed unhappy and his face turned ugly. He just pulled Chu Jinyu away and fled first. He should forget about this trivial matter in a few days!
As a result, as soon as she walked to the door, Han Zhongyu suddenly remembered that the person she was looking for had arrived and was in his house, so he stopped her.
"Wait a moment, the blacksmith and porcelain master you asked for have arrived and are at my house.
Originally, I wanted to ask Liu Nan to bring the people there tomorrow, but now that you are here, just in time, just bring the people there. Come on, I will see you off! "
"Ah! Arriving so soon?
I thought it was time to celebrate the New Year! Aren't you very busy? I can just go get them myself! "
"Let's go. The person who came to report has already left. I've been sitting here all day and I want to do some exercise. It's not too late to come back and read the notes!"
When Xie Yushu heard this, she obeyed him. They went to Han Zhongyu's house to call the two masters and their family members, and returned to the villa together.
Han Zhongyu actually delivered it to the gate of the villa as he said, and gave Xie Yushu the deeds of sale of the two masters and their families. When he saw Xie Yushu and the others entering the villa, he took two guards, Han Zhong and Han Yi, back.
When I went back to review the folding papers, I felt miraculously tired without even realizing it. I had a smile on my face all night, as if there were flowers on the folding papers!
Han Zhong and Han Yi simply didn’t even notice!
Xie Yushu settled in the new master and got to know each other. The master blacksmith is called Zheng Dacheng. It is said that his father gave him this name because he hoped that he would become a successful blacksmith. Now he is thirty-two, and he is a blacksmith. A small success.
Also present were his wife and two children.
The porcelain master's name is Zhou Shuo, he is in his early twenties, and he has his mother and younger sister. Her mother is in her forties and her younger sister is fourteen.
It was all in the capital that people were interested in his craftsmanship. He was rescued by Han Zhongyu. Zhou Shuo even went to jail. The case was overturned by Han Zhongyu. Now that he heard that Han Zhongyu needed it, even if he handed over his body deed, he didn't say anything and the whole family came. .
