Volume 10 Chapter 22 (1/2)

After the late autumn, just into the winter solstice, there was a light snow in Zhongzhou, Yunqin, which became colder day by day.

After the Leng family replaced the Huang family, Wen xuanshu, the former head of the official department, took over as the first assistant of Yun Qin. In the past, the annual official performance assessment of the whole Yun Qin started ahead of schedule, many officials were removed, many officials were promoted, and the whole Yun Qin Dynasty hall was cleaned up again.

Most of the low-ranking officials of Yunqin just went with the tide and met the storm with great uneasiness. They did not know what kind of confrontation the holy master had with those who were behind the nine heavy curtains. But since those who knelt outside the hall of Jinluan were forcibly removed, everyone knew that the southern expedition was almost certain.

The old chief assistant who heard about it also began to fall ill. The attorney general and some other people put their last hopes on the long princess.

However, after the whole autumn of anxiously waiting, these people found that pingsu, almost like Zhou Shoufu, kept absolute silence in front of the emperor's strong will towards the princess Chang, who had great influence on the Yunqin Political Bureau.

……

In the house of Dasheng Goldman Sachs, charcoal was lit in the copper basin, and every room was warm as spring.

Sheng Manying has replaced a new yellow wolf fur coat, but it has some of the reckless flavor of the rich in Shanyin province.

Before the founding of the state of Yunqin, many businesses in Shanyin were mainly engaged in escort business and escort business. Later, although many businesses were bigger and had abandoned their old businesses, they still had that kind of crude and arrogant atmosphere. Many of the old houses of businesses even enshrined the broadsword used by their ancestors when they went to the ancient road of the Jianghu.

He was looking, creaking. The door was pushed open. A * * year old boy in a cotton padded jacket pushed the door in a gust of wind. When he crossed the threshold, he stumbled and fell to the ground. However, the boy didn't care at all. He immediately got up, rubbed his knees and shouted excitedly at him: ”father, uncle and uncle, they have arrived. Mother asked him to I'll call you. ”

”Panic!”

Sheng Manying laughs and scolds, but his face doesn't have much stern meaning. He puts down the book in his hand, tightens his collar, and strides out with the boy running happily.

Only in the Grand Courtyard with extraordinary momentum, there are lights everywhere. There is no grand atmosphere. In the central hall, there are more than ten big and high shopkeepers, all with their families. The mahogany round table, which can hold all these people to sit down on one side, is amazingly large. However, at the east end of the hall, there is an incense table, a big iron pot, boiling soup, and a big fat sheep.

Previously, I just sprinkled some salt foam and wild onion, but I didn't put wine, ginger and other things to remove the smell. At that time, the whole hall was full of hot air. The strong smell of sheep and wild onion was intertwined, all of which was the smell of grass.

Seeing Sheng Manying go out, more than ten shopkeepers and their families, including the big shopkeeper Mu Zongli, salute one after another. Sheng Manying bows to greet them. After a lot of fun, he sees a servant deliver a red copper tray and a meat chopper to Sheng Manying. Sheng Manying connects them. He strides forward and cuts off the sheep's head, picks them out and cuts a piece of hot mutton Munch in your mouth.

And he put the tray containing the sheep's head into muzong's hands. For a while, cheers and noises shook the hall. More than ten shopkeepers cut meat one after another. Stacks of eager potted vegetables were also placed on the table like running water.

Shanyin province has the longest history in Yunqin, most of which have some unique gatherings and rituals.

When the first snow comes to dashenggao every year, there is such a sheep's head feast. It was originated from the founding of dashenggao. One year, a group of brothers couldn't even eat meat for a long time, and it was snowing. Sheng's ancestors came up with a way to use up their spare money, buy a sheep, pretend to be a wild sheep, and design to run in deliberately when entertaining brothers The excuse is that God is helping them. Seeing that they can't eat meat, they all send a sheep to their door when it snows. At that time, the morale of those brothers who were demoralized was greatly shaken, and the prosperity was so high.

Later, although the old people in dashenggao understood what was going on, eating the same pot of mutton in the first snowfall became the custom of dashenggao, which means not forgetting the embarrassment at that time, and reminding themselves that even under such embarrassment, as long as they don't give up, they can still survive and enjoy themselves.
