Taiguang First Year Moon 30

New Year's Eve

Early in the morning, the shrine in the backyard of the princess house began to burn incense, Ma Jin took his son Mare, knelt in front of the horse family ancestors, and then prayed for the parents and sisters of the previous life.

This is something that Ma Jin will do every year, although it may not be meaningful in practice, but it can also let Ma Jin calm his emotions when he is reunited on New Year's Eve.

I hope you are safe and healthy and all is well!”

Ma Jin secretly prayed in his heart, his face was much more difficult, he knelt next to Ma Le, thinking that his father was thinking of the late grandparents, did not dare to disturb, quietly knelt on the side and dared not speak, and the skillful turbulence was not like the usual little bastard king.

. . .

Ma Jin knelt on the futon in the temple, prayed for half a pillar of incense for the family of the previous life, only to get up straight, and then returned to normal, Ma Jin and inserted the pillar incense to the middle of the shrine, and took Mare out of the shrine and rushed to the backyard.

Because their family also went to the annual banquet in the palace in the evening, so they could eat dinner at home for many years at night, so Ma Jinsuo put up several tables at noon, called a group of apprentices and relatives, everyone gathered together to eat a reunion meal, which was also a joint farewell to the new.

Princess House, The Backyard

When Ma Jin and his son arrived, there were already many people in the yard, and several of them were talking with Yan Yan.

Yan Yan was last night near the curfew, only rushed back from the palace, the Queen Mother is sick, her daughter can not wait in front of, in fact, if it is not today is the New Year's Eve this year, the Queen Mother did not push Yan Yan back, I am afraid today's princess house is enough to have a hostess at home.

. . .

When the people in the room saw Ma Jin coming in, they all got up and saw the courtesy of Ma Jin, Ma Jin waved his hand and let the people sit down, stepped to the master seat next to Yan Yan, and then looked around and frowns.

“Why didn’t Uncle Zhou come here?”

The whole big man, can be called Uncle Zhou by Ma Jin, only the old housekeeper Zhou Fuhai, Ma Jin's men are only him, can just sit down in Ma Jin began to ask his whereabouts.

"Go back to the horse, the old treasurer went to Tianjin to see his grandson, people are not in Beijing, and when we send the letter to Tianjin, his old man did not have time to return."

Sun Youfu, who came back from Hangzhou, because Zhou Fuhai was promoted to the top, has been very close to the old housekeeper, and it is also the most well-known Zhou Fuhai movement.

"So it is, forget it, since Uncle Zhou is in Tianjin to see his grandson, let their family be safe and stable for a year, and when he comes back, I will look for him to talk."

Zhou Fuhai's son, also Ma Jin's size Zhou An, is now the Tianjin general military palace six pints of the captain, and because of this, he took a family of old and small to Tianjin life, of which only Zhou Fuhai can not be separated from Ma Jin, still live in Beijing, but after two months to run Tianjin to see the grandson.

Ma Jin cares about the old housekeeper is not young, do not want him to often run around the two places, he wants to return that week to Beijing, but the Beijing military position is small, Ma Jin has not found a suitable position for Zhou An, this matter has dragged on for a long time.

Now looking at Zhou Fuhai's big year and so back and forth, Ma Jin really impatient, secretly feel that this thing himself more snacks, save the old man tired out of a good, he regrets too late.

. . .

Zhou Fuhai, who went to Jinmen, did not mention that the rest of the people of Ma Jin had arrived this time, eight relatives of the disciples, plus all the famous disciples, and the major masters of his business and some of his cronies.

Among them, close-up disciples such as Baobao and Guo Tong, as well as well-to-faced subordinates such as comfort and Sun Youfu, even came with relatives.

When Ma Jin came to talk with Yan Yan, it was the family that these positions brought, especially the first group of women's army of Yanyan Zhang Luo, this time it was even more a non-fall, all present.

Everyone sat together and chatted for a while, the big disciple Bao Bao could not sit still, got up to Ma Jin, Yan Yanyang to say a word, to get up to go to the kitchen, Ma Jintong, but only according to his intention, not a moment old two Guo Tong, the old eight Luguang also ran out to see the lively.

After a while, Yan Yan saw that there were too many people in the room, the scene was a little annoying, and she took all the women to the back hall to talk.

As soon as Yan Yan, the princess and mistress, the rest of the people in the hall suddenly felt much relaxed, and the atmosphere slowly changed from prudence to active, and the laughter began to reverberate around the room.

. . .

“Do you remember this guy?”

Ma Jin and his disciples laughed for a while, and the treasurer of Xinhua Bookstore, comfortably, brought a handsome young man and asked, smiling.

“This is... Ansun, isn’t it?”

Ma Jin looked at the eyebrows in front of him, and recalled for a long time, only to say something uncertain.

"This is the boy, the owner, remember, ten years ago, when I was just following you, you invited our family to Ding Xianglou for the New Year, saw this boy, and gave him a red envelope."

It seemed that some of the thoughts seemed to come up with Ma Jin, and he began to help him remember.

"Oh, I remembered that I had sealed two or two red envelopes for this boy, and the boy turned his head to take the silver and ran to her mother for a pair of copper coins.

It's been ten years, this boy was so big, and now he's taller than me."

Ma Jin first talked about the fun things of the year, and then compared the height of Anxin, lamenting the time flying, and the comfort of others on the side were also joined together.

. .

Fortunately, Ma Jin did not pull the topic too far, simply a few words, and then focused on the An Xin in front of him, smiled slightly, and said the most common question of the elders to the younger generation.

“Have you ever studied, what books do you like to read?”

In the face of Ma Jin's questioning alone, his face also had a young Anxin obviously a little nervous, but it is estimated that he was taught how to speak by his father at home, although Anxin was a little nervous, but still successfully responded.

"If you go back to the adults, the boy is now studying in the class of Chunlei College, and later he worshiped Mr. Han Haojun as a teacher, and usually loved to read some scriptures and novels written by adults."

In the face of Anxin's intentional flattery, Ma Jin did not hesitate, this sentence he listened to more, asked ten people have nine people said that they love to see his novels, and the rest of them must like his articles.

Ma Jin, who was not interested in this, was somewhat surprised by what Anxin said about the teacher.

Han Haojun, the name Ma Jin is no stranger, it is that when he originally wrote the "Geography", he was one of the four deputy chief writers of Jiang Shen Hanyang, and now because of merit, he was promoted from the three-pin gift department, and Ma Jin was regarded as one of the leaders of the "Qiankun Grand Canon".

And Ma Jin knows this Han Haojun, a typical noble and arrogant venrit character, stubborn even his face may not be willing to sell.

Anxin, the son of a merchant treasurer, can be accepted as a disciple by Han Haojun in the three-pin Lang, and it can be seen that he must have surpassed the talent, and Ma Jin began to be curious about the young man in front of him.
