Chapter 106 Gifts
Woke up early the next day, and continued to take Wang Dayou and a few others to make buns.
There were a lot of fermented noodles this time, and after a busy morning, I finally got enough for Lin Xuan's satisfaction.
After packing all the buns and glutinous rice balls with things and putting them on the carriage, Lin Xuan took Liu Da and the others out.
Lin Xuan rode on a horse and asked Liu Da, who was one body behind him: "Your family is from Guanzhong. Chinese New Year is coming soon. When do you plan to go back?"
Liu Day was taken aback, and said: "We are all the Lord's personal soldiers, and we still have to protect the Lord, how can we go back!"
Lin Xuan said: "Don't you want to go home and reunite with your family during the Chinese New Year? You can go back in two groups, one group will go back tomorrow, and the other group will be fine after the New Year."
Who doesn't want to go home to celebrate the new year? If it weren't for the fact that there are too few soldiers, he would like to give them a holiday every month.
Liu Da hesitated and said, "But, half of the people are missing, what about the safety of the Sir?"
"During the Chinese New Year, I will be in the city without any danger. I will leave for Luoyang on the fifth day of the new year. They just need to come back before the fifth day of the new year." Lin Xuan said indifferently.
"Thank you Sir!" Liu Da said gratefully.
He hasn't been home for a long time, and he also wants to go back to spend time with his wife and see his son.
"I told the cashier. When you leave, each of you can get five pennies. When you go back, let them go back on horseback, so it will be faster." Lin Xuan said.
Liu Dalian quickly shook his head, "My lord, this is too much, we can't take it."
They are Lin Xuan's personal soldiers. It is normal for Lin Xuan to give them some rewards during the Chinese New Year, but most people give them one or two hundred coins, how can they give so much.
"I'll take it for you. As long as you follow me faithfully, I won't treat you badly." Lin Xuan said.
He is not short of this little money, and Lin Xuan thinks it is a good deal for a little money to exchange for their loyalty.
Seeing Lin Xuan's insistence, Liu Da said gratefully: "On behalf of my brothers, I thank the Sir."
……
When he came to Cheng's house, Lin Xuan asked the concierge to go in and report.
Not long after, Cheng Chumo came out and led Lin Xuan in.
"See you, Uncle Process!" Lin Xuan cupped his hands and said.
Cheng Yaojin laughed, pointed to the beautiful woman sitting next to him and said, "This is my wife, you can just call me Auntie."
Lin Xuan hurriedly saluted, "See Aunt Cheng."
Cui said with a smile: "Why are you so polite, kid!"
Cui was born in Qinghe Cui, not Cheng Yaojin's original partner.
Cheng Yaojin's original partner died of dystocia when Cheng Chumo was born.
After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Qiwang of the five surnames married many heroes in order to maintain his status. It was at that time that the Cui family married Cheng Yaojin.
Although Cui is the continuation of Xian and not Cheng Chumo's biological mother, she treats Cheng Chumo as her own.
She was still a little dissatisfied with Lin Xuan before, after all, Lin Xuan made Wu Xing Qi Wang lose so much face.
But since Cheng Yaojin told her yesterday that Lin Xuan helped Cheng Chumo speak and let Cheng Chumo be reused by Li Shimin, her dissatisfaction with Lin Xuan disappeared.
Lin Xuan said with a smile: "It's not surprising that there are so many people, Uncle Cheng, Aunt Cheng, I brought some snacks for you to try."
After gesturing to Liu Da to bring things in, Lin Xuan said: "This is steamed stuffed bun, which is already steamed, and it can be eaten as soon as it is steamed. This is glutinous rice balls. After the water is boiled, put it in, and it can be eaten after it floats. "
Cui didn't pay much attention to it at first, but when Lin Xuan introduced it, she realized that she had never seen it before, and said happily, "I'll try it later."
Gift giving during the Chinese New Year is very particular, it doesn’t matter if it’s worth the money or not, it needs to be novelty, the more novelty, the more thoughtful the gift giver.
She had never seen the things Lin Xuan sent before, which meant that Lin Xuan put his heart into it.
"If Auntie Cheng likes it, ask Brother Chu Mo to let me know, and I'll deliver some, or I can teach you." Lin Xuan said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, let's talk, we must stay for dinner today, and I will cook myself." Cui said with a smile.
Cheng Yaojin said with a smile: "You must have a drink with this old man today, boy."
"Uncle Cheng, Aunt Cheng, I'm afraid I can't do it today. I'm the first one here, and there are still a few left." Lin Xuan said.
Like Yuchi's family, Qin's family, Li's family, and Niu's family, which are close to him, he didn't give it away. If he gave gifts to Cheng's family, but not to them, what would they think?
Cheng Yaojin regretfully said: "That will only be next time."
Lin Xuan sat at Cheng's house for a while, then left.
Cheng Yaojin asked Cheng Chumo to send Lin Xuan out.
"Brother Chu Mo, I'm going back to Luoyang to worship the ancestors after the next year. Let's get together at noon?" Lin Xuan said with a smile.
During the few days of Chinese New Year, Cheng Chumo and the others were busy, and they probably didn't have time to meet each other. After the year, I would go to Luoyang again. After this calculation, they would not see each other for ten days and a half months.
"Okay, are you going to Mingyue Pavilion? I'll send someone to notify them right away." Cheng Chumo said happily.
Lin Xuan quickly said: "It's not Mingyue Pavilion, just go to my restaurant, people don't need your notice, anyway, I'm going to their house soon, I will tell them."
He is going to be a son-in-law soon, and if he keeps going to Mingyue Pavilion, it will be troublesome if it reaches Li Lizhi's ears.
"Alright then!" Cheng Chumo expressed regret.
Lin Xuan left Cheng's house, went to several other houses, and sent gifts there.
The other families didn't give gifts to the Lin family, but when they saw Lin Xuan came to give gifts, they bought some snacks for Lin Xuan and asked him to take them back.
In this regard, Lin Xuan did not refuse, saying that the dim sum made by several of them is still delicious.
Finally, Lin Xuan came to the East Palace.
Li Chengqian has been thinking about what Lin Xuan said last time.
What Lin Xuan said last time had a great impact on him, but because the topic was too sensitive, he couldn't discuss it with anyone.
Hearing that the eunuch reported to Lin Xuan to see him, he said happily, "Please invite him in."
"Wait, go alone!" Li Chengqian tidied up his clothes and came to the gate of the East Palace.
……
"See Your Highness the Prince!" Seeing Li Chengqian coming out, Lin Xuan hurriedly saluted.
"Haha, please come inside, Lin Xuan." Li Chengqian said with a smile.
Li Chengqian led Lin Xuan to the main hall, and after ordering the maid to serve tea, he said with a smile: "Lin Xuan, Gu has already heard that my father will decree a marriage in the next year, congratulations!"
"I would like to thank His Royal Highness for your help." Lin Xuan said with a smile.
Li Chengqian said seriously: "If you really want to thank Gu, stay and chat with Gu."
Lin Xuan smiled wryly and said, "Your Highness, I have already said what I should say. Many things are still up to His Royal Highness. Others can't help you."
If Li Chengqian couldn't figure it out, it would be useless for others to help.
"Then why are you here this time?" Li Chengqian asked disappointedly.
Lin Xuan cupped his hands and said, "I made some snacks and sent some to His Royal Highness."
"Oh, thank you very much." Li Chengqian had no interest in dim sum at all.
"I still have something to ask for help from His Highness the Crown Prince!" Lin Xuan said.
"Let's hear it, anyone who can help alone will definitely help."
Although Lin Xuan was unwilling to assist him, he didn't mind selling Lin Xuan a favor.
