Chapter 259 Winter Solstice, Fireworks Are Beautiful(1/2)
Shopkeeper Ji Da has said that the most important thing in the Ji family is talents, which means that there must be many outstanding shopkeepers in the Ji family now. With a little rectification, I believe the Ji family will be able to regain its former glory.
At that time, all the financial resources in the world can be used to support Xiao Jinglan.
When Xiao Jinglan and Feng Wuyou came, most of the things inside had already been packed. After staying for another day, they were almost sorted. Uncle Yan also made a register of these things.
The rest is just a matter of transporting it to the capital.
The capital Xiao Jinglan chose was Weiyuan, where Cheng Huang once served as a general. It was the heart of the Sixteen States of Yanyun and was not bordered by any of the four borders, but it was very convenient for central control.
The emperor had put a lot of effort into placing Cheng Huang there.
After everything was sorted, they set off for Weiyuan. The group took another paved road that was flatter, but Feng Wuyou, Xiao Jinglan, and Yan Lin still returned to Xiaoye Village by the same route.
.
For them, it is closer to return to Weiyuan from Xiaoye Village.
It was already night when they returned to Xiaoye Village, so they decided to stay here one more night.
Because they had participated in the Winter Hunting Conference earlier, the villagers greeted them very enthusiastically when they saw them, and Xiao Jinglan and Feng Wuyou also responded with smiles.
This was the first time Yan Lin saw Xiao Jinglan and Feng Wuyou looking so down-to-earth, and he couldn't help but find it very interesting.
There are red lanterns hanging everywhere in the village, which looks cheerful.
"Are you planning a happy event?" Feng Wuyou asked.
Qian Xin smiled and said, "Madam, today is the winter solstice. I want to make some lanterns and make dumplings."
It turns out that dumplings are also eaten here during the winter solstice. Feng Wuyou was surprised at first, but then remembered that modern customs were inherited from ancient times, and couldn't help laughing.
"Your Majesty, let's make dumplings too." In his previous life, Feng Wuyou didn't have much family, so he spent the Winter Solstice and New Year in the army. Although it was lively, it was different from now.
Now, there is Xiao Jinglan, right?
Seeing her excited expression, Xiao Jinglan smiled and said, "It's okay, but whoever makes it eats it, and you're not allowed to take it from others."
"good!"
Now that you have decided, get ready immediately.
They came back so late, it was difficult to prepare all the materials, but Xiao Jinglan didn't know how, but he actually got all the materials.
Qian Xin and Qian Yue were rolling out dough, while Feng Wuyou, Xiao Jinglan and Yan Lin were making dumplings.
Feng Wuyou had been in the army for so many years and thought that her skills were very good. But after seeing Xiao Jinglan's skills, she realized what really good skills meant.
Xiao Jinglan's hands don't know how long they are. They can really do anything. Feng Wuyou just made the dumplings not too ugly, but Xiao Jinglan can actually wrap the dumplings into more than a dozen flower shapes.
The little rabbits, piglets, and ducks are so naive and adorable.
Feng Wuyou took advantage of Xiao Jinglan's inattention to steal a few and put them at her place.
Xiao Jinglan wanted to take it back: "We agreed that we will eat what we have and we can't take it from others."
Feng Wuyou quickly stopped him and said loudly: "This is what I made, and Yan Lin will bear witness!"
Seeing that he could no longer stop him, he quickly called Qianyue: "Qianyue Qianyue, hurry up and cook. Remember, this is my responsibility."
Today there is no dignity or inferiority, and a group of people laugh and make a fuss.
Xiao Jinglan was just talking, so Feng Wuyou naturally took the dumplings over.
While waiting for the dumplings to come out of the pan, Xiao Jinglan went to wash his hands. Feng Wuyou stared at his slender fingers: "How come you can even do this?"
Did she really doubt that there was anything in the world that Xiao Jinglan couldn't do?
Xiao Jinglan said casually while wiping his hands: "When I was injured, my hands were not very flexible and I couldn't control my strength. Uncle Yan asked me to practice by pinching things."
The calm words made Feng Wuyou feel distressed.
At that time, Xiao Jinglan was really bruised and struggling, right?
The hands that are accustomed to holding swords have to hold small pieces of dough. How much perseverance is required to survive such a difficult moment.
"Let's go, the dumplings are about to be cooked."
Holding Feng Wuyou's hand and walking back, Qian Xin and Qian Yue filled several plates with the dumplings just as they were coming out of the pan. Different fillings were put into their own bowls, whichever filling they wanted to eat.
After eating a few pills, Feng Wuyou ate one stuffed with winter mushrooms, which was picked from the mountains near Xiaoye Village and was particularly delicious.
Feng Wuyou immediately took another one, dipped it in vinegar and handed it to Xiao Jinglan's lips: "Your Highness, please try it."
This action was so natural that when Yan Lin discovered it, he subconsciously wanted to stop it.
The prince doesn't like eating mushrooms because they have a strange smell.
However, before she could speak, she saw Xiao Jinglan biting it obediently with a smile on her face.
Yanlin silently picked up a dumpling and stuffed it into his mouth.
Forget it, in front of the princess, there is no such thing as habits.
Xiao Jinglan ate the dumpling, and as soon as he chewed it, he showed a strange expression.
He opened his lips slightly and spit out a round copper coin.
"It's the prince!" Qian Xin immediately shouted and stretched out his hand to Xiao Jinglan: "Good luck and good luck, bring me the red envelope!"
When she shouted, Yan Lin also reacted and extended his hand with the same shout. Even Qian Yue joined in the fun.
Xiao Jinglan frowned and put the copper coin into Feng Wuyou's hand: "Ask the princess for it."
"Why!" Feng Wuyou quit, she still wanted to ask Xiao Jinglan for a red envelope.
But Xiao Jinglan left her speechless with just one sentence: "You said you wanted to support me."
Xiao Jinglan was so confident in eating soft food, what could Feng Wuyou do, he had to accept his fate and pay for it.
At this time, another bright light flashed outside. Qianxin was startled for a moment, and then shouted happily: "Fireworks, they are fireworks!"
Some people can make fireworks in this era, but they are very rare. I didn't expect to see them in this small Xiaoye Village.
Feng Wuyou was also a little surprised, and immediately pulled Xiao Jinglan into the yard.
I saw that half of the sky was colorfully reflected by fireworks. Although it was not as colorful as modern ones, it was still enough to be called gorgeous on such a winter night.
The whole village became lively, every household came out to watch the fireworks, and the children screamed with joy.
After coming to this era for so long, Feng Wuyou finally felt something at this moment.
She seems to have really integrated into this era, feeling the joys and sorrows of the same era, and savoring the joy of the same era.
Late at night, after a lingering love affair, Feng Wuyou fell asleep a little tiredly. She slept until midnight, and she touched the side of the bed in a daze, and then suddenly opened her eyes.
There was no one around, and even the bed was cold.
She sat up and felt nervous. Where would Xiao Jinglan go at this time?
I put my clothes on and went out. I was about to go to the next door to ask Yanlin to help me search, when I looked up and saw the figure in the yard.
With a slender figure, wide shoulders and narrow waist, even from her back, she is so beautiful that people can't take their eyes away.
He stood there silently, looking at the snow in the yard, not knowing what he was thinking.
Feng Wuyou walked over and walked up to behind him before Xiao Jinglan reacted.
"Why are you coming out like this?" He immediately frowned when he saw Feng Wuyou's attire.
It was such a cold day and I was only wearing a windbreaker outside.
"It's not cold." He walked up to her and hugged her, whispering: "But do you think of your mother and concubine?"
The winter solstice is a day to reunite with family members. When the dumpling eater took out the copper coins, Xiao Jinglan looked dazed for a moment. No one else could see it, but Feng Wuyou would not miss it.
Xiao Jinglan paused, then stretched out his arms to hug Feng Wuyou.
"In the past, during the Winter Solstice, my mother would make dumplings for us. On this day of the year, she would cook with her own hands."
Usually they can't get together, and they are too busy during the New Year. On this day, the timing is just right.
"Wuyou, do you feel aggrieved?"
If it weren't for him, this little phoenix would have lived the peaceful life he wanted, but now, it is filled with endless turmoil and running around.
Although I came out of Beijing, I faced more difficult situations and challenges after arriving in Weiyuan.
She followed him and never had a comfortable day.
What's more, there is Mrs. Xiao who is making things difficult.
After Mrs. Xiao came back, she really suffered a lot of grievances, and he knew it all.
Although he tried his best to protect her, Mrs. Xiao was his mother after all. As long as she had this status, he would always be in trouble and fail to protect her well.
He knows better than anyone how proud Feng Wuyou is, but she has been patient for him.
"The fireworks are beautiful." Feng Wuyou did not answer Xiao Jinglan's words, but moved to another topic.
"It must have taken you a lot of effort to prepare these fireworks."
How could a small place like Xiaoye Village have such a rare thing like fireworks?
Unless it was prepared by Xiao Jinglan.
