Chapter 150 New Year's Day
After realizing what he was thinking, Xia Ting almost couldn't help laughing out loud.
So, in fact, I couldn’t say it well in my bones, and I really inherited my father’s business genes.
Unfortunately, even though the Dayu Dynasty's requirements for women were not as strict as the previous dynasty, there were very few women doing business.
If poor people can’t have enough food, there may be women who do some small business deals.
However, there are very few men who go on business. People like Xia Siye have been criticized for being rebellious, and even fewer women.
Therefore, even if Xia Ting has genes, she cannot really do what her father is like, and it is even more impossible for her to take over her father's mantle.
Of course, even Xia Ting thought that businessmen were working so hard that they were running out all year round, and there were so many unknown dangers. Just think about it and know that my father would definitely not agree!
However, Xia Ting was not very interested in this. He just felt that after hearing that the reward was a medicine soap recipe, he subconsciously thought and had some meaning, which made him think a little more.
Xia Ting really lets Xia Ting drag his sick body to go to business, but Xia Ting feels that he really can't do it!
Although the formula of medicine soap is just a thin piece of paper, it will definitely attract the attention of others if it is taken out, so Xia Ting is not in a hurry to read it.
After the dumplings, the New Year’s banquet will be almost done, and the rest of the time will be to stay up to the New Year.
Everyone stays together every year, so that it will be more lively and avoid missing out on it because of sleepiness.
Although Zizhou City has suffered a disaster this year, the prosperity of the city has not been affected much, so the sound of fireworks can be heard from time to time.
The Ding Mansion was naturally prepared, and the servants were waiting in the front yard early in the morning, waiting for midnight to arrive, and they could start setting off fireworks after the master ordered them.
As everyone talks and laughs, time passes quickly.
However, Xia Ting's health has not yet been well maintained. She rarely stayed up late. She used to take a nap and then get up and continue to guard.
So, the old lady asked Xia Ting early on whether her body could withstand it.
Xia Ting didn't force himself to hold on. If he fell ill on New Year's Eve, wouldn't it affect everyone's mood during the New Year?
So, the old lady arranged for Xia Ting to take a nap at the guest bedroom for a while. It was almost midnight when Baoqing and the others called it up.
After tidying up my clothes, I went to the living room and followed everyone to stay up to the New Year.
When the hour arrives, it means that the old year has passed and the new year has begun.
Everyone gave each other a happy New Year greeting. The red envelopes will not be sent at this time, but will only be sent tomorrow morning when we greet each other during New Year's greetings.
So, everyone just said auspicious words and then bowed to each other and the New Year was over.
Of course, if the younger generation wants to watch the fireworks, they can watch for a while.
The old lady was already tired and naturally would not stay there at this time.
Uncle Ding and the others were exhausted, so they soon dispersed and took a rest.
Although Xia Ting took a nap, his head was still very heavy now, and he had to go to Baima Temple to check in tomorrow morning, so he must be fully energetic.
Therefore, even if she had the energy to guard her, Xia Ting was not ready to join in the fun.
Ding Yanrong pulled Ding Qingrong to continue watching the fireworks. Ding Yurong came to ask Xia Ting, and knew that she was not going, the other party was preparing to go back and rest.
Master Xia Si sent Xia Ting to the gate of the yard. He did not go in. He looked at Xia Ting's yard locks and then turned around and returned to the living room.
Due to the Zhou family, Mr. Xia Si was too lazy to move back to the west wing, and still lived in the living room.
Anyway, the conditions are not bad. He will return to the capital for the New Year. He will stay for a while and he will not choose a place.
Because it was too late, Xia Ting took a shower and went to bed after she went back.
The next day, the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Xia Ting got up early.
Usually, you don’t want to greet the elders, but it’s not possible on the first day of the Lunar New Year. The younger generations need to greet the emperor. After receiving the red envelope, they also need to have the first meal on the first day of the Lunar New Year together before they can disperse themselves.
Three days before the New Year, they all went to their respective relatives, and officials did not visit each other for the time being.
Uncle Ding’s Yue’s family is in the capital, and it takes time to get around. Uncle Ding’s annual leave is only on the ninth day of the lunar month. If he really travels between Zizhou City and Beijing, time will be delayed on the road.
If you make such a struggle, it will delay the social engagement between Mr. Ding and other officials.
Therefore, Uncle Ding will not go to the capital.
When Ding Erye had just had a breakup with the Zhou family, he needed to stay away from each other, not to mention that Yun County was farther away from Zizhou City, and it would take half a month to go back and forth.
Ding Erye’s annual leave is only a few days, so there is no need to do so.
What's more, now that it's all broken, it's impossible for Mr. Ding Er to go!
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, everyone in the mansion went to the old lady's courtyard again and asked the old lady for her first. The juniors honestly offered tea to the elders and greeted the New Year, and then happily took the Hongfeng to eat, so that they could do their own things.
I heard that Mr. Xia was going to take Xia Ting to White Horse Temple. Although the old lady was unwilling to do so, she didn't say anything.
After all, going to burn incense on the first day of the New Year is even more sincere. If the old lady hadn’t allowed her to go, she would have wanted to go.
"There must be many people burning incense today. Listen carefully and don't be hit by others." The old lady knew that there would definitely be many people going to burn incense in Zizhou City today, so she worriedly reminded Master Xia Si.
In addition to the normal good sign of asking for a post of incense on the New Year’s Day, there is also because several counties below Zizhou City have suffered severe disasters this year. Many people want to pray to God and Buddha, seek peace of mind, and also find a place to rely on.
Therefore, there must be many people coming and going. The old lady is afraid that Master Xia Si is a big man who is careless and will not be able to take good care of Xia Ting.
Xia Ting is not as weak as other girls. She is very weak. If someone hits her, the old lady will be worried when she thinks about it.
"Don't worry, mother, I will pay attention." Mr. Xia Si did not say anything more, but instead expressed obediently that he would pay attention.
Seeing this, the old lady was a little satisfied.
Because he went to the temple to burn incense, Xia Ting changed into plain clothes after returning to pay New Year's greetings.
A water-green cross-collar wide-sleeved short dress with dark flowers, paired with a duck-yellow quiet dress.
The hair is still a simple double-snail bun, and the headdress is made of light blue jade jewelry that is slightly simple but does not give people an overly pale feeling.
Aunt Chi was afraid that Xia Ting would be frozen again along the way, so she wanted to put two more clothes on Xia Ting. In the end, Master Xia waved his hand and said, "One piece is enough, wear so much. If you enter the inner room, you will rush together with cold and hot, your body will not be able to bear it."
