Xiaohong knew that Li Zhao didn't pay attention to this, so she explained: "Your Highness, you have become the nominal master of Jiaozhou. As long as the local aristocratic families are close to you, they will come to visit you tomorrow."
"The folks here remember your kindness and will naturally come to visit you."
Li Zhao suddenly realized that this familiar yet unfamiliar feeling from his previous life was back, and he was really not used to it.
Thinking that this was his first New Year working hard here, he decided to go to bed early.
"About tomorrow's reception..."
"Your Highness, please rest assured, Uncle Zhong has made all arrangements." Xiao Hong reminded softly.
"That's good!" Li Zhao immediately went to take a bath.
When taking a bath in winter, the last thing he wanted to do was get out of the tub, because the hot water was so comfortable.
It was so cold when he got up that he felt like Xiao Li Zhao was about to freeze to death.
Even though he had such generous conditions, he was still shivering from the cold. I really don't know how ordinary people survived this cold winter.
However, what makes Li Zhao very strange is that there is no greenhouse effect in this world. Logically speaking, it is winter and there should be heavy snowfall.
Why is there only a biting cold wind this year but no snowflakes falling?
Li Zhao wrapped himself in a fluffy blanket and got into the bed. The bed had already been warmed by the little maid next to him.
Li Zhao fell asleep almost instantly.
…
early morning.
The cold fog is thick.
The dead grass on the roadside is already covered with frost, and most of the villagers in Longmen Village have already gotten up.
They wrapped themselves tightly and started cleaning their houses and courtyards with gloves on.
Zhao Jingru also started to sigh. It was really too cold in winter. It was so cold that she was shivering all over, no matter how thickly she wore it.
Yaya's ears were red. She got up earlier than Zhao Jingru and Jianjia. Jianjia had already boiled hot water, otherwise she would not be able to wash her face this winter.
Yaya took off her gloves and shouted to Zhao Jingru: "Sister, we are going to see Brother Zhao later."
The village was full of joy.
Everyone greeted each other and cleaned the road.
When all preparations are completed, they go to the ancestral graves of each family with incense and candles to pay homage to the dead clan members.
This is a custom that has been passed down for thousands of years.
The men in the village are all honest and hard-working people. Throughout the year, apart from Qingming Festival and Double Ninth Festival, the only time to pay homage is the Spring Festival.
The dead grass in the wilderness and in the mountains and forests often grows very fast. Let alone how many months it takes to clean it, it can still grow horribly in just one month.
They usually clean the grave and its surroundings before adding incense.
Dead grass and trees are easy to ignite in winter. If a fire is caused by this, the consequences are unimaginable.
Although the rescue measures in this era were poor, people had a strong awareness of fire prevention.
After Zhao Jingru washed up, she found that Yaya had pushed her mother out.
Her father was buried not far away. The road was smooth and it wouldn't be too difficult to get there.
Zhao Jingru and Jian Jia knew how Yaya's father died, and Li Zhao also helped Yaya seek justice.
When they came to the grave, Zhao Jingru and Jian Jia were not afraid, but only sad.
They were supposed to be a happy family of three, but their family was ruined because of the Du family.
In fact, there are many families like Yaya, all thanks to the Du family and others.
That is to say, after Li Zhao came here, this kind of bullying of the people will gradually become less common.
The grave was not very clean, but this was the limit of what she could do.
Yaya's mother looked at the grave with tears in her eyes, speechless for a long time.
Zhao Jingru accompanied their mother and daughter to offer incense and kowtow. Yaya's mother couldn't help but burst into tears. However, she was not accusing her, but announcing the good news.
Although the child's father passed away, their family's life was not very difficult.
Zhao Jingru listened quietly, and then she realized that Yaya's mother's gratitude to Li Zhao had reached a level that ordinary people could not understand.
Perhaps, Li Zhao was the god who saved their family.
Yaya's mother also said that everything was fine at home and life was getting better, and she also met the kind-hearted Zhao Jingru.
There is hope every day, so he should not worry there. If possible, it would be good to reincarnate as soon as possible.
When Zhao Jingru paid homage to her ancestors in the past, she had never thought about this, nor did she understand it.
She felt that paying homage to her ancestors was more like a ritual.
To this day, she discovered that dead relatives and ancestors are also a kind of spiritual sustenance.
Neither Yaya nor her mother complained about the unfairness of life, but instead held hope for the future and gratitude for the present.
Because the people in Longmen Village take good care of them, Zhao Jingru also takes good care of them, and even Li Zhao does the same.
"Dad, Yaya will take good care of mother when she grows up!" Yaya always had a smile on her face: "You don't have to worry about us living a bad life. Brother Zhao is a very good person. Now everyone in our village has There’s a lot of food, a lot of food, so there’s no need to worry about going hungry.”
"Dad, we will go with the village chief and the others to pay New Year's greetings to Brother Zhao later. Next time we come to see you, we will have to go to the Qingming Festival..."
It was getting light.
When Zhao Jingru accompanied Yaya and her daughter back, they met many familiar people who had also returned from the cemetery. Everyone who saw Zhao Jingru would greet Zhao Jingru enthusiastically.
Zhao Jingru suddenly felt that this year was much more interesting than the one she spent in Prince Zhao's Mansion.
"Maybe... my decision to stay here was right."
The smile on Zhao Jingru's face grew wider, and she was suddenly very interested in the future described by Li Zhao.
Maybe one day, Li Zhao's ideal world will come true in his hands.
That should be unprecedented and unprecedented!
The Chinese New Year is always happy, especially for children, who can wear new clothes and shoes, and eat many delicacies that they can’t usually eat.
"Yaya!" Many children came running over. They were going to pay homage to King You with their parents today.
King You is their head of household, as well as their parents.
Yaya held Zhao Jingru's hand, pushed her old mother to greet them, and walked towards Prince You's Mansion.
It was still scary when all the people in Longmen Village gathered together. After more than half a year of hard work, the people in Longmen Village have taken on a completely new look.
They would never dare to think about everyone changing into new clothes in previous years, because everyone is more concerned about how not to starve to death.
How could his face be as red as it is now?
Everyone was holding gifts in their hands, which was their way of expressing their gratitude to Li Zhao.
Li Zhaocai discovered that the Spring Festival in ancient times was indeed more interesting.
He went to bed early yesterday, and Li Zhao didn't feel angry when he got up in the morning.
When he saw the bright smiling faces with happiness, he also smiled.
Today, You Wangwei also got up early and helped Li Qingwei prepare the things he needed. When guests come, they must bring out good things to entertain them.
"Don't be stingy, let them eat well today!"
