    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    In this way, I have been busy until the root of the year, until the twenty-seventh of the twelfth lunar month, when the financial meeting for the coming year is completed, the work of the year is considered to be over.

    But it would be a big mistake to think that you can have a few days of leisure during the Chinese New Year.  The Beijing inspection was shrouded in gloom. Except for close relatives of the same clan, weddings and funerals, even if they were of the same clan in the same year, they seldom interacted with each other.  As the Spring Festival coincides, of course we should take the opportunity of New Year's greetings to connect with each other and inquire about news.

    In the New Year greetings in the officialdom, the sooner the superior is respected, the earlier the first day of the lunar new year, the chessboard alley is full of mid-level and lower-level officials who are neatly dressed and holding plum red business cards with their names and surnames printed in black  , alias, stamped with a vermilion seal, and a small square stamp, for example, the eight characters: "Special trip to pay homage, not for other purposes".  Everyone still had some red satin purses in their sleeves, which contained as many as three or five taels of gold ingots, and as little as two or three taels of silver ingots, which were prepared for Mr. Mo Mo and the servants of the Shen residence  For a well-off Beijing official, this ceremony is quite heavy.

    Mo Mo knows that these are all pretense, the real purpose of coming to New Year's greetings is actually to find out the truth and seek protection, so he can only deal with it with strength In the past, most New Year's callers usually just ask the concierge to pay their respects, and then they don't have to.  To leave after an audience, only those with special relations will be led in by the servants to speak.  But this year is special, if you don't let him in and give him a gift, you don't treat him as your own and force him to change the door.

    Therefore, Shen Mo can only invite in one by one. The host and guest meet, say 'lucky' to each other, and sit in order.  The servant respectfully served a bowl of red dates, longan meat, and white sugar water. No matter what, it was necessary to have a small drink, because it is said that the guests should not sit idle on this day, otherwise both the host and the guest will be disadvantaged.  When exchanging greetings, there was Aji leading the very ordinary people to go to the hall to pay New Year greetings to the guests. It was really an opportunity to let them send money In fact, the young men of the Shen family really looked down on these dumb things, and had no choice but to pay for their father's love.  Career, can only sacrifice appearance again and again, sweetly shouted: "Happy New Year, Uncle and Grandpa, and New Year's greetings from my nephew" Then I bowed, took money, and withdrew.  The guests sat down for a while, listened to Shen Mo's words of reassurance, and got up to leave contentedly.

    He has persisted in this way for the third year of junior high school, and the people who pay New Year's greetings are gradually disappearing. Silence is good, but his three boys are all exhausted, leaning on the kang and shouting: "The neck is about to be broken, and the waist is also broken. In this life  All the good things to say'

    Mo Mo couldn't help smiling, and scolded with a smile: "With so much lucky money, can't you bear even a little bit of hardship?"

    "Who cares about it" Aji jumped up from the bed and said, "I didn't go out to play during the Chinese New Year, and I just recognized the uncle at home."

    "Okay, I see that you have performed well, so I will reward you" Shen Mo said with a smile: "I will take you out to play tomorrow, okay?"

    "Great" Ajihe cheered very much. Although he is usually not as bandit as the two brothers, his face is also full of excitement In the past six months, he has been studying with the prince in the palace all day, and Li Niangniang is very strict.  , really suffocated him too.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    ?Leave as soon as you say, the next day the three children get up early, urging the father over and over again to eat quickly, so that they can take them out to play.  Shen Mo ate slowly, and asked with a smile, "Where do you want to go?"

    "Qianmen!" Aji immediately suggested that it was close to home, just outside the door, and sold all kinds of strange things, which was very popular with the eldest son of the Shen family.

    "Stupid, the shops are closed for Chinese New Year." He said very disdainfully, "I have to go to Dengshikou at this time!"

    "You're not smart either." Silently scolded with a smile: "The lamps were only lit on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, why don't you go to see people put up the lamp racks now?"

    "Oh" Shiji scratched his head and said, "I'm too confused."

    "Xiao Pingfan, where do you want to go?" Mo Mo asked the quiet little son.

    "I'll go wherever my brother goes" Ping Chang whispered.

    "I don't listen to those two living bandits." Silently said with a smile: "I will listen to you today."

    "Then" Ping Chang whispered, "Can you go to the West City? I heard that the Chenghuangmiao book market is very lively."

    Silently said with a smile: "That's a good idea. There are all kinds of culture and martial arts there. Let's go to the Town God's Temple." He looked at Aji and Shi Shi and said, "Today is the fifth day of the lunar new year. There is still a temple fair"

    The two poor children have no love for the book fair, but when they heard about the temple fair, they immediately jumped up again.

    Shen Mo finished his meal, rinsed his mouth, got up and said: "Let's go after changing clothes." The three children hurried back to the east room, let the nurse and maid wrap them up,

    Shen Shen also entered the back room, and saw Bao'er standing in the stroller, staring at him with bright eyes.

    Silence bent down and kissed her daughter's??, let Ping Ping go back with the guards first, and walk around with Gao Gong by himself.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Gao Gong said that it's too noisy here, let's go to the flower market, it's quieter there, so we can talk to people.

    So the two went to the flower market west of the Town God's Temple.  Flowers have always been a favorite of Beijingers.  Perhaps it is because the capital is located in the north, and those who have lived in the capital for a long time will suffer from the bitter cold and even more bitter wind and sand, so they pin their longing for spring on the flowers that bloom at the beginning of the year.  There are flowers to be seen in all seasons, and green leaves to be seen in spring, summer, autumn and winter.

    Therefore, the flower market in Beijing is also extremely popular. There are several large flower markets scattered throughout the capital, and the Town God's Temple is considered very large.  As soon as you enter the flower market, it feels like you have entered the spring. There are so many kinds of flowers, and there are so many kinds of flowers that are everywhere in front of you.  There are cheap "can't die", cactus, swallow's palm and so on; there are moderately priced narcissus, azalea, bergamot, spring plum and so on, and there are also more expensive camellia, peony, wintersweet, clivia and so on; there are more expensive bonsai  , there are not only single plum bonsai, but also "Suihan Sanyou" where pine, bamboo and plum are planted together in one pot, and "Yutangchun Fugui" where magnolia, winter jasmine and peony are planted together in one pot.  Prepared by the money man.

    These flowers were all transported from the Shiba Village of Huaxiang, Fengtai in the southern suburbs of Beijing, where the water and soil are particularly suitable for growing flowers. As early as the Yuan Dynasty, there were many flower farmers. The flower and tree industry has been thriving for hundreds of years.  For the industry and commerce in the capital, this place is very representative¡ª¡ª

    Today is a little earlier I hope tomorrow will be earlier In addition, the high-profile incidents in this chapter are historical facts, not fabricated by me.  (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please visit www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!)
