Chapter 197, Happy New Year (1)

From Mrs. Chengpingbo, she has not received support from King Liang Ren of Jin. Lin Peng is better at taking the single gang in terms of safety. Even if he brings Hou San, he is still a mess. Whether his cousins ​​escape or embarrassing, he has no other concerns.

This is why he hesitated to bring the rich people in the earth.

Lao Sun came and the big rock hanging in Lin Peng's heart fell to the ground. The benefits of bringing three local rich men were instantly highlighted. These three could pay a lot of money at any time, which was a good thing.

Sitting down next to the fire, Lin Peng waved his hand a little lazy to gather everyone. When Hou San saw this scene, he thought Lin Peng wanted to get out of the way, so he also grinned. The five people concentrated on getting the ground map, the city, the salt merchant, etc. to unfold. At the end, Zhou Dabei stared at him, Li Yuanbao opened his mouth, and Yao Fuxing sucked his nose, emitting the same question: "Boss Lin, you know Xi Xian very well."

Lin Peng smiled mysteriously and lustfully. Of course, the disagreements and family conflicts in these private salt families were provided by Mrs. Chengpingbo. Can it still be fake?

There are both profits and losses in business. The journey of death does not have a deep scar on the five people here. The fire is burning brightly. They heated up discussing that in the days before going home to prepare stocks after the beginning of spring, this trip to Xixian will not be in vain.

......

Mrs. Xi didn’t know how other people’s housewives celebrated the first lunar month. Since she got married, she has counted her dates every year in the first lunar month.

Since her mother-in-law, Mrs. Xi, she has been lying in bed sick all year round. Jiang, who has not yet lost her childishness, has been in charge of the family. She quietly swallows her tears in the envy of others. Seriously, she has not spent any New Year leisurely in the Xi family. Her densely packed relatives like arrows sometimes make her remember all the memories. If she recognizes this person, she forgets that person. She needs to regain the contacts she has had in the past with the reminder of the waiter.

"The old lady is here to pay New Year's greetings."

Jiang was stunned with the tea bowl in his hand and asked the Tongfang Lingque who came in: "Where has another old lady from the two old ladies who have just sent away the two houses?"

Ling Que smiled and said, "You think, our house head is no worse than that of the official family."

Jiang Shi took out a hint of clearness in her dizziness, her face was slightly dim, and she said reluctantly: "Is it my aunt Wan's mother's old lady? If you have nothing to do, let me take good care of the fifteenth girl, don't treat her motherless daughter for a long time?"

"It's not her." Ling Que smiled: "She's family is here again this year, which is even more complete than last year. Her husband's wife and daughter-in-law are more lively than having a reunion dinner."

After hearing this, Jiang calmed down. She smiled slightly: "The man in the front of her room and the son-in-law are in the study now?"

“Yes.”

Jiang stood up and went in. Those who often served her knew that they were changing clothes and treating guests solemnly. They did not dare to follow in a negligent manner to change Jiang's clothes. Jiang took out the letter from Tang's mother to read it again, even though she restrained herself, she smiled proudly.

Aunt Wan and her mother and old lady are birds who always sing in the forest of Xi’s family. Jiang did not receive a letter from Xi Duanxiu for help, and Xi Duanxiu could not not ask for help. The most likely person to receive the letter was Aunt Wan and her mother and old lady.

Can guess what the other party is saying, and you will never worry about meeting guests with countermeasures. Jiang even smiled and told Ling Que on the way to go: "Look at the movement of the master in the study. If he loses his temper, huh?" She thought in a daze: "This is impossible. This is the first month. If the master does not lose his temper," Jiang was worried again: "How can you keep him angry?"

"Brazier reduces charcoal."

Xi Chonggu signaled the servant to go to his side to change tea, and whispered that the dullness in his chest gave him a million-dollar pressure on the battlefield, and every word the guests said increased the pressure.

The servant looked embarrassed and lowered his hands: "If you reduce it, it will be extinguished. It is better to remove the brazier." He understood the crux of the problem, but he could not explicitly drive away the guests. His master was the general's position as a general. The most annoying thing was to listen to the family's shortcomings. People who talked about this family's shortcomings usually did not show their talents, which made people unable to respond whenever he talked about them.

Xi Chonggu waved his hand, and the servant stepped back silently, looking at the master frown and continued to listen. The servant and Jiang responded with sympathy.

The guests sitting opposite were Wan’s husband, Wan’s two brothers, and Xi Duanxiu’s letter of help written by her hand, which caused the three men to speak endlessly, as if they forced Xi Chonggu to reply before they could stop.

Xi Chonggu chewed the tea without any taste, sipping hot tea until his tongue numbly lost his sense of taste, his head no longer weighed down in sweat, his eyes returned to strength, and the guests' voices suddenly became accustomed to the sound of aunt Wan's husband even showed a moment of silence. This person is Xi Chonggu.

"I understand what you mean and what your sister mean. Let's say this, don't say that King Jin and Mrs. Chengpingbo have no affair. Even if there is, I will only go to believe in His Highness King Jin. He still recognizes my uncle, so he cannot hand over Mrs. Chengpingbo."

As Xi Chonggu said loudly, the guests began to sweat, soaked in the cold like snow in the yard, and emerged layer by layer in their hesitant shock.

"This... Chonggu, how do you judge their innocence? Civilians must have a reason to soar,"

Xi Chonggu asked in a deep voice: "How do you know that they are not innocent?" He glanced at the letter with contempt: "Duan Xiu's letter cannot be used as evidence."

"But she is your real sister. Before the old lady passed away, she told her sister who was well taken care of in front of her relatives..."

Xi Chonggu interrupted him: "So I got engaged to the King of Jin for her, and I am the most noble person in the family now!" After saying that, he immediately stood up and looked at the guests in an orderly tone. The man Xi Duanxiu called Wan's aunt and uncle was also Xi Chonggu's elder, but Xi Chonggu would do his best in the Xi family.

"Come with me!"

Three people followed obediently.

Jiang listened with a smile as Aunt Wan and her mother-in-law spoke loudly. She had long been muttering in her mind, and it started again. When the fifteenth girl was not married, the old lady seemed to protect the orphan. Where was the questionable brother and sister-in-law her turn? After the fifteenth girl got married, the old lady still did not lose her face. Today, the theme of her protection is that the fifteenth girl cannot share the favor with others.

Jiang couldn't help but be funny. Everyone said that she was amazing. There were many concubines in her room, including His Highness King Qing, His Royal Highness Prince, His Royal Highness King Zhou, etc., and there were famous concubines around her. Why can't there be one in the King of Jin's mansion?

As she was dealing with the guest, she watched the girl pour fragrant tea frequently and said goodbye after drinking a lot. She replied to the big master and the man from her family. Xi Chonggu brought Aunt Wan's husband and brother in big steps.

His sharp eyes swept across Jiang's face, and Jiang's hair exploded. She lowered her head as if nothing had happened, asking Xi Chonggu to sit down and hand over the battlefield in front of him.

"Chonggu..." The old lady's nagging was not knocked down by a pot of fragrant tea. After Xi Chonggu sat down, she drank two large bowls of fragrant tea and shut up. She supported her daughter and ran to the clean room as if she was running away. Her son-in-law and son also remembered the tea they drank too much. The whole family came in neatly and headed straight to the clean room.

Xi Chonggu waved his hand impatiently, leaving only the couple in the room. He raised his eyebrows and asked coldly, "What's wrong with Duanxiu?"

His wife is the person he feels most at ease when he goes out. Xi Duanxiu's thirty-two dowry and dowry were organized by Jiang. Xi Chonggu didn't believe what the whole family of aunt Wan knew. Jiang's will never hear about it. The faint anger made Xi Chonggu's rough face look even more ugly when he was blown by the wind and sun.

Jiang directly sent Tang's mother's letter. Tang's mother wrote the letter with caution and truth. She described the whole incident without exaggerating the resentment towards Tang's family.

After reading it, Xi Chonggu wondered: "Wuhan? Is it her again?"

Jiang began to get angry faintly and passed it on to her husband, letting him know that this matter was not just anger, and that he was also the one who should be angry the most.

Xi Chonggu turned a blind eye. He read the letter twice. Aunt Wan's family came out of the clean room with a calm expression. She said that she could still hold on if she had a few more bowls of fragrant tea. She waited for Xi Chonggu's reply during this time of persistence.

Xi Chonggu spoke destined to disappoint them. In front of him was a fool. They could not see the importance of the widow of Chengping Bo’s mansion to the King of Jin. They only saw that the aunt of the Xi family was bullied and her reputation was bullied by Mrs. Bo. Whoever was in charge of the family would be in charge, and the other women of King of Jin were in charge of the King of Jin.

"You are the great housekeepers of the Jin Palace, but you can't take care of the Chengping Bo Mansion. No matter how unbearable Mrs. Chengping Bo is, it cannot hinder you, the great housekeepers of the Jin Palace, and you can't even hinder this. If you can't see clearly, you come to persuade me. It can be seen that the Princess Jin's confused thoughts were caused."

The old lady moved her crutch uneasy and tried to interrupt Xi Chonggu's unceremonious accusation, but as soon as she said "Zhonggu", she was ignored by Xi Chonggu.

"I am my brother and I choose a good marriage for my sister. I can't take care of the affairs between husband and wife. Who has three wives and four concubines? I'm so bold to pick His Highness King Jin. I dare not. He is Your Highness and I am a general. My status is far inferior to him. Besides, if there is a woman, I am a three-point lower than that of my sister, the one who marrys my sister is naturally the one who bows his head. This matter is as I said."

Xi Chonggu squinted his eyes with Jiang: "I wrote to the King of Jin in your name and said that he knew he was wronged and gave him some good New Year gifts. Besides, I would say something about me. If he could not hold on to Chengping Bo Mansion or was taken to the capital for interrogation, I would wait to see him laugh at him."

“Hey….”

In the guest's exclamation, Xi Chonggu threw down Tang's mother's letter, and his big strides were as fast as a meteor. He left in a blink of an eye and could not see the figure. He expected that the study room would be quiet for the next few days. At least, no one in the family of aunt Wan dared to talk to him again.

Jiang was both angry and funny, chasing Xi Chonggu, and he wanted to catch him back and ask again. He was like this every time he was like this. He would never figure out the vague things when it was involved in family matters. Your sister did not write a letter to her family, but instead sent a letter to her aunt Wan's family. She was very confused first and then married, and Xi Chonggu did not mention it at all.

Jiang did not feel happy when he sent off aunt Wan's family. He shook his face alone in the gap between guests and felt a little frustrated: "What is this? It's not about protecting your shortcomings, it's not about blaming you, it means it's not about reasoning. It's his ability to mix up the water."

Then he hated Xi Duanxiu. The Lu Mansion attacked the widow under your rule. Instead of protecting you, you sent your husband to doubt their innocence. If someone killed someone, you handed the knife. This is a great ability, but it is just to restrain the Tang family.

At night, Jiang's breathing was relieved and he gave him some gifts to King Jin, another letter written according to Xi Chonggu's wishes, and a few words of explanation to the dowry, and gave it to the postman who delivered the letter to Tang's mother to bring it back.

The postman returned to Nanxing quickly. On the 16th day of the first lunar month, the lanterns were roaring. The streets were very lively, and the pedestrians could hear the sound of the words. The young man in the Longmen Trading Company held his chin and sulked. Look at me and I look at you, and you all expect others to come up with good ideas.

During the Chinese New Year and the holidays, it is a benefit for those who have not grown up. They can eat on holidays, eat at sea, and participate in the plays at that time.

The old shopkeeper of Feiqian hummed a small song and held the wine gourd and was guarding the courtyard gate tightly. The sound of speech coming from outside made the teenagers approach crazy.

"Mom, I want rabbit lamps, I want five, no, I lift one of each of my five fingers..."

"Dad, buy me the Chang'e osmanthus lantern for a month. Hurry up, you'll sell it out if you don't squeeze it forward..."

The little tree was confused and looked at the sky, as well as the hydrangea lanterns, the eagle lanterns, the big bear lanterns... in his mind, the warmth of the few taels of silver he saved last year was the only day he had been looking forward to in the year. He was also planning to bring up the lanterns well, because he was one year older next year, and I'm afraid he would be embarrassed to mention them again.

And some snacks.

Red date cake, red bean cake, brown sugar cake, white jade cake, white fragrant cake, white kernel cake... Although it is not as delicate as the snacks of Pingbo Mansion, it is also Xiao Shuzi's thoughts.

Thinking of Chengping Bo Mansion's dim sum, his saliva flowed quietly down the corner of Xiao Shuzi's mouth, his confusion turned into fascination, and what flew across his mind were Bo Mansion's dim sum, pine nuts, walnut yam and honey cake, rose and mango two-color prunes... No, Xiao Shuzi hugged his head in pain. He wanted to eat delicious food, and he didn't squat in the business as the shopkeeper said.

The sixteenth year, the old shopkeeper didn’t force the teenagers to practice hard tonight. The old shopkeeper who was free to hold the wine gourd was happy with the teenagers from time to time: “Go to sleep, go to bed early today, just treat it as a holiday for you, don’t think about going out, and don’t even think about watching the lights. Haha, who made you offend the big shopkeeper, and you also want to have a job in each section of the Longmen Trading Company. The big shopkeeper should not offend, learn more in the future..."

The boys led by Xiao Shuzi rolled their eyes to fight, and Old Manager Fei smiled and scolded half-truely. At this time, a little boy ran up the steps, looking six or seven years old, the reason for the big jacket, his arms were bulging, his sleeves were heavy, and his eyes were staring at Fei Qian with black beans, and he shouted: "My name is Lin Huzi, I'll ask Brother Xiao Shuzi to pick up the jacquard lantern."

Lin Huzi said, touching the snacks in his arms and the candy in his sleeves, and not falling out. Sister Cha Xiang stuffed too much, saying that these were not enough for Xiao Shuzi to eat alone, but Lin Huzi could only bring them so that he had to bring them to Xiao Shuzi intact.

Fei Qian stared at him: "Whose child is you dare to come out alone? Aren't you afraid of a kidnapper here?"

"Not afraid!"

Lin Huzi raised his hand and said, "A kidnapper reported to the official ten taels of silver. If you see a kidnapper, remember to make a share of me. I will go to school this year, and I know this is called a share of those who see me."
