On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, Jiang Zhilu invited the people from the big room to join the new year. Jiang Liyuan insisted on going because he was angry with his brother.

Jiang Zhiyuan didn't want to go to the house of some little kids, so only Ma Ruyue took Jiang Jingyuan and the other two as the plenipotentiary representatives.

"I really want to invite you." Ma Ruyue smiled so hard. Xiaonian said that she had made a full table of tables. Not only did she invite her own house, but she also invited people from the Ma family.

Of course, the Tan family would not come, and finally came a generation of Ma Rujian.

"Of course, it's another year, and our family finally looks like a family." Jiang Zhilu said: "Half a month ago, my brother asked someone to send a message to bring money back, and said he was promoted to a small official. Sister-in-law, I'm not young anymore, I'm going to the border."

"No!" Ma Ruyue shook her head: "Although you have grown up, you are not yet sixteen years old. Another thing is that the family also has the responsibility to take on it."

Seeing Jiang Zhirong being an official can make money, the child's enthusiasm was also mobilized, but he didn't know the risks at all.

The power of role models is endless, maybe the remaining three people want to follow the boss's path.

Ma Ruyue sometimes wondered if she sent the four brothers to the border to fight, it would be fine. If there was a person who was too long and too short, would Lan crawl out of the underworld to find her?

After all, it was the path she brought to her.

No, you have to leave one anyway.

"Sister-in-law, we will take care of ourselves." Jiang Zhiqing pointed to the food on the table and said, "These are all made by my brother and I burn the fire, and my second brother is just in charge of the command."

There are two large bowls of roast chicken, fried meat, and one bowl of fish. It turns out that the feeling of the New Year is that it has to be more than every year during the New Year.

"It's been another year." Ma Ruyue sighed: "It's really easy to live, I've been here for more than three years."

For more than three years, only she knew the meaning of the time she had passed. On Ma Rujian and Jiang Zhilu, they sounded like they had been married to the Jiang family for more than three years.

"Sister, I'll pick you up on the second day of the first lunar month. We won't come when we go back." Anyway, Jiang Zhiyuan is going to take the exam, so he doesn't care about this so-called home and let them go.

"Okay, I know." Ma Ruyue had already made up her mind and would take Jiang Jingyuan with her when she returned to her parents' home.

The New Year’s Eve dinner at Jiang Zhilu’s family tastes nothing good, but it’s so rich and full.

After Jiang Jingyuan finished eating, he asked Ma Ruyue if it would be the New Year at home tomorrow.

"Yes, we also have chicken, meat and fish." Ma Ruyue smiled and said, "There is also the bacon and sausage that my mother brought us. I will ask you to compensate you tomorrow, it will be so delicious."

Ma Ruyue’s idea was to make sausages at the beginning, mainly thinking that Ma Ruhai would eat more dishes when she got married.

Some people are born to not eat spicy food, and Ma Ruyue also specifically instructed Tan to make some sweet taste.

This taste is Jiang Jingyuan’s favorite.

"Sister-in-law, I wonder if my aunt has all this food?" Jiang Jingyuan looked at the table blankly and said, "Where are you going? It's the New Year, will she not come back?"

The child is very sensitive. Since she recovered from the illness, she has found that the situation at home has been different.

The eldest sister-in-law circled around herself all day long; the elder sister circled around the stove all day long; while the elder brother only watched around her sister-in-law.

Well, I can tell my sister-in-law about this, because I am afraid that she will worry.

The aunt became a code name. When you can see her in your dream, you will be in vain when you wake up.

This little girl misses her own mother.

"My aunt is so capable and so powerful, she must have these foods." She placed her in that small yard. She was not lazy and could make money, so she could naturally buy food.

Jiang Jingyuan felt relieved when he heard that his aunt could eat it.

Little did he know that at this time, Qiu Shi was in Lan's mansion, the relative of Mrs. Li, staring at the embroidery in her hand in a daze.

"Qiu Niang, are you missing home again?" An embroidered lady named He came over and said with a smile: "I think you have been in a daze for a long time. Come on, hurry up, this is the wedding date, we can't afford to delay."

"I'm sorry, I..." Qiu Shi's face turned red: "I just miss the child..." After saying that, she immediately started to move her hands.

In the words of Mrs. He, this is a dowry that cannot be delayed and there is no chance of stopping the New Year.

Jiang Wenyuan recovered from his home, but this time he went out and coaxed a few taels of silver from Gu's family.

After searching for three days, she has searched all the small Yichang County town, but there is still no trace of her.

Where will she go?

Jiang Wenyuan stood at the intersection of the street, and the street in the night was empty.

The swaying lanterns cannot drive away the cold wind. Every household is reuniting for the New Year. The sound of firecrackers makes Jiang Wenyuan feel like a moving dog, nowhere to go and nowhere to find.

She is a weak woman and has no relatives and friends in Yichang County. Where can she go?

Jiang Wenyuan slowly walked towards the land temple beside the city.

In order to save expenses, he spent the past few nights here.

It’s another year, tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the Jiangjia Dam is also about to worship ancestors.

In previous years, it was a world of old men. If you don’t stay at Jiangjia Dam this year, you can guess that it will be in front of Jiang Zhiyuan Station.

In the eyes of those old men, Jiang Zhiyuan could bring a lot of benefits to the Jiang family.

In the dilapidated temple, Jiang Wenyuan stomped an old bamboo basket he picked up yesterday and lit it for warmth.

These nights, I took a nap while guarding the fire and went out to find someone when it was dawn.

The bamboo strips cannot withstand burning, and in a while, the temple will turn black. The red lights of stars make Jiang Wenyuan feel particularly helpless!

what to do?

Go home or continue looking for it?

He didn't dare to use it after having a little money on his body. He had thought about it. After finding Qiushi, he took her to a place where no one knew them and lived a good life.

He only wants to protect this weak woman if he is in any rules and etiquette.

There were footsteps coming in the dark, and Jiang Wenyuan shrank in the corner without saying a word. He knew that this dilapidated temple was not his own. Every time in the middle of the night, two or three beggars would come back to spend the night.

"It's another year." One of the older ones said: "Tomorrow's first day, we will go to the big temple, and there will be more people burning incense and worshiping Buddha, so we will definitely have better luck."

"Stop teasing, those ladies and ladies are talking about doing good deeds, but they are reluctant to give us some charity." Another said: "When we see us, we will only shout to stay away from her, and say that it is a foul air when we meet us."

The same is true.

"Or, let's go to Yi'anzhou Prefecture." The two beggars discussed: "This place is too small, there are not many rich households, and the prefecture is different. There are many officials and many businessmen. I heard that among rich households, people earn more monthly money now than in Yichang County..."

Rich people nowadays?

These words reminded Jiang Wenyuan.

Yes, Qiu's helplessness can give rich people a place to stay.

The next day, Jiang Wenyuan went door to door to find out which wealthy families had a young woman named Qiu.

"No, there is no new servant in our mansion." The old lady beside Mrs. Qian looked at the young man in front of her and said, "Are you missing? Why don't you go to report to the official? Maybe you still have a chance to find him."

What did the reporter say?

I can't even say that I am from Qiu's family, let alone that I'm not really lost, I just don't know where she is going.

On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Jiang Wenyuan went door to door and looked for Qiushi.

Jiangjia Dam is a different scene.

In the conference hall, I was still very moved when I looked at the crowded Jiang man Ma Ruyue.

The most important thing about a family's development is its prosperity.

Jiang Jingyuan was wearing a red jacket and was held by Ma Ruyue as he watched them worship their ancestors.

Jiang Zhiyuan was originally a boy from the third generation of the Jiang clan, but now he is standing in front of the second elder, the clan leader Jiang.

Because the old master Jiang Er said that this young young man is a lucky star of the Jiang clan, he will go to Beijing to take the exam this year, so that he can stand at the forefront, so that the ancestors of the Jiang clan can see clearly, and bless him to win the top scorer.

Ma Ruyue didn't see Jiang Wenyuan in the crowd. She heard that she was sick, but she hadn't recovered yet?

I saw Gu in the dam of Jiangjia Dam and asked about Jiang Wenyuan's body.

"Oh, it's hard to say." Gu looked at Jiang Jingyuan, and then said to her: "Jingyuan, go and play with the sisters in the clan."

The river view is far away.

Living in the mountains for a long time, he had no interaction with the children of the Jiangjia Dam clan.

"Go, look, that young lady is playing shuttlecock, let's play together." Ma Ruyue knew that Gu had something to say to him, so she specially sent Jiang Jingyuan away.

"That's not a young lady, that's Jiang Siyang from the second wife, and Jingyuan's eldest niece." Gu said with a smile: "Go, Jingyuan, you are their aunt, and you are the oldest, and you are playing with your nieces."

Jiang Siyang is about seven or eight years old, but he is a little shorter in age.

"It is said that a young house will be born in the old age, but the big house will be born in the old age." Ma Ruyue looked at Jiang Jingyuan and walked over timidly, with curiosity and uneasiness on her face, and was still a little sad. She lived on the mountain for a long time and was isolated from the world, making the child as brave as Qiushi.

"The real old age has not come out yet." Gu said with a smile: "I will see you in three months."

It refers to the one in the womb of the second wife Yun.

Haha, I was originally a grandson, but I wanted to raise him as a son.

The status and status have been much higher!

Ma Ruyue was thinking about it, but Gu invited her into the room and talked.

"This child is just a stubborn child, and I can't persuade him." Gu said, "I don't know if you can see that. Anyway, Qiu has nothing to do with the big house anymore, so I'll tell him about it. You still need not mind."

Only then did Ma Ruyue realize that Jiang Wenyuan went to the county town to look for Qiushi with illness.
