This is the first Spring Festival that Chu Li has spent in Changqing Street. He has been wandering away during the Spring Festival for two consecutive years, which makes everything he sees now very novel. He spends his whole day either helping Shen Luzhu decorate the inner courtyard or accompanying him. I took Uncle Chu to the market to do some shopping.
It seems like I have returned to my childhood. Although my life was poorer at that time, my mood of looking forward to the Chinese New Year is the same as now.
Since the Shen family and their grandfather's family also moved to the county town, the Chu family's New Year has become more lively and interesting. Most shops will be closed during the New Year, and the three families have few relatives and friends visiting them in the county town.
Simply taking a break from their busy schedule, several families gathered in the east courtyard of Chu's house all day long, either eating hot pot and roasting meat, or dividing into groups to play cards and chat.
This year, two more baby babies were added to the family. Even Huanhuan and Xixi from the Chu Ping family, Zhengzheng and Chu Ping, have turned into little brothers and sisters. Speaking of the twins of the Chu Ping family, they are simply a mishmash of twins. The little devil and the little crybaby are reincarnated.
Huanhuan is the elder brother. He is chubby and chubby. He is very lively and active. He can't sit still all day long. He either goes to the host's house to attract cats or sneaks away to the west's house to play with the dogs. He never has a moment of leisure. Since he and his parents are in the county seat. I saw a play here and dreamed of becoming a majestic hero all day long.
Xixi is the younger sister, maybe because she is a girl. She has been different from her elder brother Huanhuan since she was a child. She has a pretty face and is really cute. She is absolutely spoiled by Chu Ping. She is very squeamish and is always aggressive. Cry for you.
Compared with the twins in Chu Ping's family, Zhengzheng seems to be a bit unique. Although he is only less than one year older than Huanhuanxi, now apart from occasionally coquettishly flirting with his parents in private. , the rest of the time he is just like a little adult.
After the New Year, when Zheng Zheng was one year older, Chu Yi and Shen Luzhu planned to send him to a private school after the New Year. However, before that, there was one big thing to do, and that was Chu Li's studio.
It has been delayed from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, and Chu Li's studio will finally open on the 16th day of the first lunar month. In addition to recruiting a few students in the future, the studio also plans to do some business of helping people paint, and also make some picture albums. , paint and paper buying and selling.
Chu Li selected a few of his own paintings, framed them and hung them in the studio. They were both for display and decoration. According to Chu Li's wishes, the opening ceremony was not too grand. He just set off some firecrackers and invited relatives and friends to attend. After a banquet, there was no lion dance or gong and drum troupe.
After the studio opened, Chu Li spent most of his time here, sitting in the shop, either copying some famous paintings by famous masters, or painting people walking on the street. Anyway, when there was no business, he just concentrated on it. Painting on the ground, no matter what you paint, as long as you can paint, it is good and happy.
At the end of the first month of the first month, a piece of heavy news suddenly came out in Xing'an County. The King of Northern Jin Dynasty was about to seize the Ningchuan Prefecture. Yamen at all levels were ordered to make preparations to build the royal palace in Ningchuan Prefecture and to select a site on a mountain in the north of Xing'an County. Other courtyard.
This King of the Northern Jin Dynasty is said to be the seventh prince of the current Holy Emperor. He has only come of age this year. According to the rules of the Daqian royal family, all adult princes, except the prince, must be granted vassal status. The seventh prince was no exception. Before the first month of the year had passed, news of the construction of the palace and other courtyards had spread all the way from the capital to Xing'an County.
It may be a good thing for the people of Ningchuan Prefecture to have a prince living in the place where he has been living, but it may not be good for the officials, especially Xin County Magistrate of Xing'an County, who is very worried now. .
It wasn't that Magistrate Xin was afraid of the powerful, or that he had done something shameful during his term of office, but it was actually the location of this other courtyard that posed a big problem for him.
