Send away, send away, send away quickly
The next day, bid farewell to the old and welcome the new.
Shen Hua woke up very early and was very interested in pasting the couplets crookedly, with a lot of paste on her hands.
The couplets were bought a few days ago, and the paper-cuts with complicated patterns were cut by Yi Cui herself. The lanterns were hung high, all in the plain white color that should be expected during the filial piety period.
Shen Hua got off the stool and couldn't stand the sticky feeling, so her sudden whim disappeared. She handed these to Cheng Gui in a blink of an eye.
She washed her hands carefully.
The children in the alley all wore masks, holding hands and laughing and joking. When they saw Shen Hua, they even came over specially.
"Sister Shen, who posted the couplets in your home?"
Shen Hua was about to point at herself proudly.
"The post is too ugly. If I post it like this, I will definitely get beaten up by my mother-in-law again."
The purse hanging around her waist was specially prepared by Shen Hua. She had a lot of money, so she would buy some food from time to time, and she would always give some to the children in the alley.
Every time at this time, I can always hear them say "Sister Shen" and a beautiful compliment.
Shen Hua had heard many words. They were flattering, gentle, and flattering. This was the first time she was called ugly.
What is the difference between the ugly couplets she posted and her ugly ones?
The little lady pursed her lips.
If there is a choice, one is hypocritical and the post is good, the other is seeking truth from facts, Shen Hua is hypocritical, so she is willing to choose the first one.
"Is this candy for us? Sister Shen can come to me next time. I'm the best at giving candy."
Under the expectant gaze of children, Shen Hua did the most abominable thing.
She took out a piece of candy, stuffed it into her mouth in front of everyone, and tied the purse tightly. She looked like the most vicious bad girl.
"Sister, I ate it myself. It's so sweet, but it's a pity that you guys didn't share it."
Successfully drove away a group of children.
Shen Hua snorted and turned around: "Their masks are quite interesting."
"Today there will be exorcisms and parades on the street, playing and singing to get rid of evildoers and protect auspiciousness. Nuo Weng and Nuo mothers are surrounded by thousands of children and eight hundred masked children and guardians. These children are presumably going to follow the procession in the parade. Now, madam, do you want to go take a look?"
Shen Hua had never seen it before, but after hearing the words, she became interested.
"Cheng, please tell Mom Cheng and the others to stop working. It's not too late to come back and prepare meals after watching the excitement."
"Eh." Ninglu responded and hurriedly called for someone.
Cheng's mother is preparing chickens and ducks, which are prepared to worship ancestors and welcome the Stove King.
"My wife let me go because I am considerate of you. This is your first year abroad, so naturally you can't be too careless. I won't join in the fun."
"There are many children on the streets, following Nuo Weng and Nuo Mu. You must take good care of my wife."
Shen Hua took the two maids and Cheng Gui out.
The streets were bustling with people, the gongs and drums were noisy, and everything seemed new to Shen Hua.
She also specially chose a mask. She also didn't forget to greet the three of them.
"You guys come and choose too."
When I was withdrawing money, I was bumped on the shoulder by someone coming from the opposite direction.
The girl's body was hit so hard that she stumbled back a few steps and almost fell. But when the man saw that he was in trouble, he just buried his head and left in a hurry.
"Madam, are you okay?" Yi Cui asked hurriedly.
Shen Hua was angry: "Stop!"
Cheng Gui reacted and grabbed the man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks who was holding the child. He was a man who did rough work and was very strong, so he quickly suppressed the man.
Shen Hua ignored the mask and angrily stepped forward on her cotton embroidered shoes. Her index finger almost hit the middle-aged man's face.
He has always been squeamish and domineering.
"Do you know how valuable I am? If I fall to the ground and die before I recover, you will have to pay for it!"
“The road is so wide, who can’t hit me?”
The middle-aged man looked doubtful and a little anxious. He obviously didn't want to get entangled with Shen Hua.
He struggled, but still couldn't move.
"My lady, you are fine at the moment. You can't bully me, an ordinary citizen, just because you have more people?"
Seeing that Shen Hua didn't speak, he could only say impetuously: "Okay, you name a price, can't I pay for it?"
It's okay if he didn't say this. As soon as he said this, Shen Hua laughed angrily.
She looked the man up and down sarcastically.
Finally it fell on the child who was motionless and wearing a mask as if he was frightened.
"He's just dressed as a pawn, how much money can you give me?"
"First of all, if you apologize nicely and get scolded a few times by me, for the sake of New Year's Eve, let's forget about it. Now, this matter must not be kept private."
"Yicui, bring that kid over here."
The man suddenly became excited and his face became distorted.
"What are you doing! No matter what, it's me who is at fault. How can you rob my daughter?"
People in the surrounding area and on the street gathered around.
One is strong and the other is weak, the contrast is sharp.
Many times, people always subconsciously believe that the weaker party has been wronged, so they put their self-righteousness on the opposite side of the stronger person.
"You girl, you have to spare others and spare them. You live your whole life, why do you care so much about it?"
"It's a big holiday, I just don't care about this. Look, the poor kid is so scared."
Shen Hua didn't say let him go, so Cheng Gui would never let him go.
The two sides were in a stalemate, watching more and more people pointing fingers. The middle-aged man's face turned red.
"Your daughter?"
Shen Hua laughed.
"You are dressed in the most ordinary way. This winter coat has been washed over and over again and has faded. It doesn't look like it keeps you warm anymore."
"This child's outfit is a new product from Yunxiang Pavilion. The embroidery on it is more familiar to me. It comes from Shenjia Embroidery Workshop in Fengzhou."
"If you say she is a child of the royal family, I will believe it, but if you say she is your daughter, I would like to ask you where you stole it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding area fell silent.
Cheng Gui kicked the man to the ground. The man refused to let go and staggered forward along with the girl.
She was silent, something was really wrong.
Yi Cui's face suddenly changed, and she and Ning Zhu worked together to pull the girl down into her arms.
Shen Hua stepped forward and opened the girl's mask.
The little girl couldn't look more charming and innocent, as if she had been raised carefully. She didn't even blink, she just stared blankly. Her eyes were unfocused.
The middle-aged man hissed: "Don't slander me!"
"It is up to Jingzhao Mansion to decide whether to slander or not."
Shen Hua said calmly: "Since you are noble, please report to the official."
"Bah! What a heartless piece of shit!" the people began to scold him one after another.
"Report to the official, this matter must be reported to the official. If it weren't for this lady, all the children would have been kidnapped! Are there not many children lost in Shengjing in these years? These kidnappers are not afraid of thunder!"
Yicui: "Madam, what about this little girl?"
Shen Hua is most afraid of this: "Send them together. By the way, we can ask about whose family has lost their child."
As she said that, she was about to put the mask back on the girl. When she saw her blinking in confusion, she seemed to be conscious.
Shen Hua: "Hey! Which family are you from?"
Cui Rong was shaking all over.
"Wow!" The cry was earth-shattering.
It makes people feel distressed just to look at it.
Shen Hua's ears hurt from the noise, and she quickly said to Yicui: "Send away, send away, send away quickly."
