The grass in the factory should be plucked

Nangong Qinghe picked up a piece of peach blossom paper and wrote a poem.

"The affectionate moon should shine on me, shining on me to cross the Magpie Bridge early. After years of separation, we meet in one night, just like the golden wind and jade dew. Holding hands, weeping, ten years of separation, how much do we miss each other?"

"Heaven and earth are just like this, filled with sorrow and parting, heartbroken everywhere. The clouds and rivers are vast, and there are thousands of barriers and gates, but we have been looking at each other for centuries. Until the end of time, will you promise to grow old together, day and night?"

He used the legend of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl to imply that he and Jiang Li were also close yet far away, unable to meet each other despite their longing for each other. He asked her if she would allow him to grow old together, and be together day and night until the end of time?

After receiving the letter, Jiang Li was confused. What does this mean?

In fact, Nangong Qinghe wrote this poem quite straightforwardly, but Jiang Li was not from this world, so she had no idea about the legend of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl and the meeting on the Magpie Bridge, which all the girls in the boudoir knew.

Master Mingxuan only taught her to read history and understand reason, and never taught her poetry, let alone tell her any love stories like the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, the Seven Fairies descending to the earth, etc., so as not to corrupt his own little disciple.

So she couldn't understand it at all!

Nangong Qinghe's lingering feelings were like playing the lute to a cow.

As for the words "lovesickness" and "grey hair", she felt something was wrong, and she didn't dare to ask others about it. Subconsciously, she didn't want to think about it that way, and just thought it was a code word.

After reading it over and over again and still not understanding it, I wrote back, saying that the lyrics were well written, and I should not write anymore because I couldn't understand it! Can we talk about it? Also, don't write to me if there is nothing else!

After all, sending a message by someone else is not as secretive as sending it by Little Lihua, and the risk of leakage is too great.

Nangong Qinghe was uneasy for a few days, but after receiving the reply, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He just thought that she hadn't figured it out yet, so he had to suppress his feelings temporarily.

He didn't know, as Shen Muchun said, it wasn't that he was not smart, but that he met the wrong person. If he met the right person, just a glance would make his mind turn a thousand times and he would come up with endless ideas.

Jiang Li is now concentrating on the New Year's Eve.

Every year on New Year's Day, the emperor would put down his pen and the government offices would seal their seals. From the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month to the 20th day of the first lunar month, normal office work would resume.

This means that during the New Year in the Chu Dynasty, everyone from the emperor to the government officials would have a full month off!

It was not very convenient to frequently enter and exit the palace during this period, so Xie Changan agreed to let Jiang Li go home for the New Year and let the substitute maid in the laundry department dress up as her and stay in the cold palace.

Anyway, everyone in the palace thought that Concubine Yu was disfigured, and the issue of establishing a crown prince has attracted everyone's attention, so no one should pay attention to the cold palace anymore.

When Jiang Li learned that Xie Changan agreed to let her go home for the New Year, she was so overjoyed that she jumped into his arms and kissed him on the face.

"Brother Changan, you are so nice!"

Xie Changan was caught off guard by her kiss, and his breath was choked. He pulled her out of his arms and calmed himself down: "Let's talk about business first."

"We still have to arrange for duty during this period, so don't play too crazy."

"Okay." Jiang Li responded obediently.

As long as she can go home for the New Year, she is willing to be on duty every day!

"Where are the clothes..."

Seeing her well-behaved face, Xie Changan couldn't help but tease her.

"I will learn..." Jiang Li said with a bitter face.

He took her into his arms again and said with a low smile, "You kissed the left side just now, how about kissing the right side?"

"Don't even think about it!" Jiang Li broke free from his arms, giggled and ran away.

When Aunt Lian learned that Jiang Li could stay at home for a full month, she cried with joy and began to prepare New Year's goods in a big way.

There is no need to buy chicken, duck, fish and meat in advance, just ask the restaurant to deliver them to your home when the time comes.

She asked Manager Liu to buy more rare goods such as delicacies from land and sea.

Jiang Li said that they would invite Mr. Xie from next door to their home as a guest, so they would have to prepare a few tables of decent food.

We also need to write Spring Festival couplets, paste blessing characters, cut window flowers, and prepare more firecrackers and fireworks, because the playful little cat at home will definitely set them off every day.

The red envelopes for the servants at home and the shop owners and clerks had to be discussed and prepared by her and Manager Liu. Jiang Li had no time to take care of this.

The most important thing is to make new clothes and jewelry for the baby little cat!

In the past, when she was in the farm, Mrs. Jiang gave her very little monthly allowance, and during the New Year she could only scrimp and save to make a new dress for the girl.

Now that the girl can earn her own money, Aunt Lian is eager to make up for what she owed her girl over the years!

On the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, the East Gate Yamen held a sealing ceremony.

At noon that day, Liao Wuyong came to the East Factory and personally led everyone to perform the sealing ceremony.

Lanterns are hung high in the main hall, and all official seals are placed on the desk in the middle of the hall.

Liao Wuyong led the people from the East Factory to respectfully burn incense to the portrait and tablet of the founding general of the Great Chu, kowtow and salute, and then stick a red paper seal with "Seal for Good Luck" on the seal box.

At this point, the sealing ceremony is complete.

The firecrackers were crackling and everyone was very happy because it was time for a holiday!

Liao Wuyong glanced at the petite girl among the secret guards and smiled, "Changan, come with me."

After a pause, he added, "Take your little secret guard with you."

When Jiang Li heard that Liao Wuyong wanted to see her, she suddenly felt uneasy and extremely nervous.

This is...an ugly daughter-in-law wants to meet her parents-in-law?

Under the urging of the crowd, Xie Changan pulled the little girl, who had shrunk like a quail, over and went to the inner hall to meet Liao Wuyong.

Xie Changan led Jiang Li to kowtow to Liao Wuyong: "I wish our foster father a long life, happiness and health!"

Jiang Li whispered, "I wish Lord Governor a peaceful new year and long-lasting happiness."

Liao Wuyong smiled and said, "Okay, okay!"

He took out two red envelopes and handed them to the two of them respectively: "I will be on duty in the palace during the New Year, so I will give you the red envelopes in advance. I hope you will be happy and everything will go well."

"Thank you stepfather!"

"Thank you, Lord Governor!"

Liao Wuyong heard her tender voice and saw that she was young, so he couldn't help but smile and said, "When will you change your words and call me foster father?"

Jiang Li was so embarrassed that her face turned red all the way to her ears.

Xie Changan was also a little embarrassed: "She is still young, let's talk about it next year."

Liao Wuyong smiled and said, "Since you have chosen her, you should give her a name as soon as possible. Godfather is not the kind of person who would break up a couple."

"Yes, I will follow my godfather's teachings!"

After Liao Wuyong left, Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief.

"Lord Governor has such a strong aura!"

It makes people feel involuntarily afraid.

What's more, she felt guilty.

Xie Changan smiled and said, "Godfather has officially recognized you."

Jiang Li blushed: "You haven't met my mother yet."

Xie Changan said seriously, "I was just thinking about discussing with you when to go and pay respect to my mother-in-law. Do you know where she is buried?"

Jiang Li's eyes turned red: "I'll go back and ask Aunt Lian. I haven't paid homage to my mother yet. I only burned some paper money and incense on her death anniversary."

Both of them simultaneously ignored her biological father, Minister Jiang.

Xie Changan thought about the information he got from investigating the Jiang Mansion and was quite disdainful of Minister Jiang.

How can such a villain who kills his partner for money and eats up all the family members be worthy of being the father of little Li Nu!

After the sealing ceremony, Xie Changan had already booked a banquet at the Longmen Restaurant in advance, so he went to have dinner with the people from the East Factory.

He did not allow Jiang Li to join the dinner party on the grounds that she was a woman and could not drink much, and sent her back first.

Jiang Li took the carriage that Longmen Trading Company came to pick her up and went back to her new house happily.
