The wealth of rebirth is deep in the mountains

Chapter 189 Annual Ceremony in Kyoto

Even if everyone knew that it was the young master of the Cheng family who caused the trouble now, the Lu family, as the biggest victim, could not be blamed.

What should I do to not hurt Cheng Ziheng's face, and to make this matter harmonious.

Xiaomi let go of her braids irritably, and the shadow reflected on the wall under the light looked a bit like a lunatic in a martial arts novel.

Qing Hua'er was originally guarding the end of the kang, occasionally turning her head to see the shadow, she immediately closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.Today's master is so scary, I should hurry up to find Zhou Gong to play chess, and when I have free time tomorrow, I will go to find Niu Sheng to see what good things my brothers brought back for her and Qingyu.

Thinking of this, the little girl slept soundly, and the shapely snoring of the little girl made Xiaomi jealous.

She simply didn't worry about it anymore, and wrote down the matter exactly, and after a few instructions at the end, she stuffed the letter paper into the envelope.

When the lights were turned off, she couldn't hold back, opened the box and took the brick love letter, put it beside the pillow, sniffed the faint fragrance of ink, and slowly fell asleep...

The world is impermanent, and many things will not develop according to your expectations, but whether it is difficult or smooth, there is such a person in my heart, who is as reliable and warm as the magic needle of the sea, and there is no need to be afraid of any storm...

The night of family reunion is naturally lively and joyful.Every household in Laoxiongling went to bed at midnight after gossiping, and when they woke up early, every family had a sore throat and smoke, but it didn't go to bed at midnight.

Just like Feng Jian is Xiaomi's magic needle, the Lu family is the backbone of the entire Old Xiongling.

Even if the workshop in the south ends hastily, but with the presence of the Lu family and the presence of Xiaomi, there will be no shortage of everyone's work and everyone's good life.

Sure enough, after breakfast, Boss Lu brought the things he bought from the south, and just got out of the mountain pass on a sledge.

Xiaomi called Bihe, and sorted out the workbook while counting the accounts, and quickly sorted out the wages of the villagers.

So Old Master Feng shouted, and the villagers came to collect the money with smiles.

In addition to the wages that the Lu family should have paid at the beginning, every penny was sent to their hands, and every villager who followed the south also got two taels of silver for their hard work.This is all out of the pocket of the Lu family, not included in the dividends distributed to the village at the end of the year.

Old Master Feng took the account book and yelled loudly, "No, no! Everyone has received their wages, and there will be dividends at the end of the year. This is an extra two or two, but it is too greedy."

However, Xiaomi insisted on the division, and said with a smile, "I have to say something for the folks, Old Master Feng just doesn't hurt his back when he stands up and talks. This person travels from south to north, eating wind and drinking dew, Old Master Feng didn't hurry, so it's not I know how hard it is to travel. Two liang of silver is not much, so it’s good for uncles and brothers if they don’t think it’s too little.”

Everyone also made fun of it, and begged for agreement with a bitter face, "That's right, old Uncle Feng, we dare not say anything else, the snow particles we ate along the way weighed two catties, and our intestines are still cold right now!"

"Get out! You lazy bastards, Xiaomi has been used to it for a year, and you need money to do some work!"

Old Master Feng also scolded with a smile, "After a while, it will be Xiaomi's wedding ceremony. Now that you have taken Xiaomi's hard-earned money, you will put in more effort to follow along. Don't embarrass our old Xiongling girl! "

"Old Master Feng, don't worry, everyone remembers it!"

Everyone chatted and laughed a few more times, and then they all dispersed.Xiaomi brought old Master Feng two packets of snacks from the south, and when he was ready to send him out, he hurriedly started sorting out the annual gifts of each family.

The annual ceremony at the academy has been prepared long ago, but after delivering the annual gift to Chen Xin in Kyoto, I need to add some more...

Mrs. Jiang's son Jiang Dali and her daughter-in-law Cuilan are both in Xiaozhuang, Kyoto, and they can't come back during the Chinese New Year.The old lady and the old man were at home with their grandson, the old man was watching the greenhouse, helping to feed the deer, and the grandson was reading, so she devoted herself to Lu's kitchen.

Now hearing Xiaomi's order to make dumplings stuffed with mutton, I hurried to plan the snowdrift in the corner of the courtyard.

The snowdrift is the natural big refrigerator in winter in the Northland. If there is too much meat to eat at home, pour water on it and freeze it into ice cubes, and throw it into the snowdrift. It is not afraid of drying and can keep fresh. It is extremely convenient.

Pick a bunch of scallions from the courtyard wall and prepare the seasoning.

So when Xiaomi came back after changing into coarse clothes, she called Qing Hua to pull fresh green onions in her greenhouse.

Aunt Jiang was reluctant, so she persuaded, "Girl, let's put this spring onion, the taste is not much worse."

Xiaomi blushed, but she couldn't say that these dumplings were going to someone who was hungry for dumplings, so she said vaguely, "The family members are back, and it's not bad to eat a few green onions."

But once this excuse comes out, it is necessary to prepare more dumplings for the whole family.Although the eldest brother and his wife have entered the city, but there is a big belly man like the second brother Lu, but they dare not do less.

In desperation, Xiaomi moved the battlefield to the backyard again. Mrs. Tie, Feng Niang, Aunt Han, Qinghua Qingyu and Mrs. Jiang, all the old and young girls joined the battle.Those who minced meat, those who kneaded dough, and those who rolled skins were very busy.

Mrs. Tie and Fengniang Xu Shi's hometown is in the south of Dayuan, and they rarely eat dumplings, and they don't even know how to make dumplings.But I learned it from Xiaomi the day before yesterday, and I got started quickly.

Everyone collected firewood with high flames, and after a whole morning's work, they made a few big white and fat dumplings covered with curtains.

Xiaomi picked the best hundred and ten of them, carefully placed them in one place, sent them outside to freeze well, then poured them into a clean cloth bag, and put them in the Chen family's annual gift.

Feng Niang accidentally saw it, and she waited to repay her master. The two masters and servants confirmed the guess that Chen Xin was in love with Xiaomi.

So this meal of dumplings, Xiaomi ate absent-mindedly, planning to add something to the New Year's ceremony in "Kyoto", Mrs. Tie's master and servant were secretly worried that Xiaomi was so infatuated, that he might not be able to persuade him to turn around.

The Chen family's lunch was also extremely rich because of the return of their daughter and son-in-law.After dinner, Boss Lu followed shopkeeper Chen to restaurants and grocery stores, leaving Chen Yuexian to talk to his wife.

Speaking of the dangers of Laoxiongling being besieged by soldiers and horses and the earthquake, even though Mrs. Chen had lived for decades, she couldn't help wiping away tears with her daughter.

"Yuexian, you don't know. Mother thought she would never see you and your eldest brother again. The time at Laoxiongling had no effect on our family. Your father valued love and sent me to the farm, and then took me to the farm. The people went to Laoxiongling to help. Those guys who took them gave money to the An family, and they really rushed there. Fortunately, Lu Laosan recognized a good gentleman, the dean of the Wasteland Academy, and those whores were scared Retire, this will keep you safe."

Chen Yuexian had heard his brother-in-law talk about this a long time ago, and he was shocked when he heard it, and broke out in cold sweat.After all, this is a big event to slaughter the family. If one is bad, she and Boss Lu will be homeless.And before she got married, there were rumors about Kefu, so it would be logical to recite the name of Kefu's family again.

Fortunately, this catastrophe passed smoothly.

She is married to the Lu family, so she knows more about the truth. Naturally, she doesn't think like my old lady that the key to crossing the catastrophe is to rely on the old headmaster who has never met, but I can't explain this in detail to my old lady.

So, she changed the topic, "The earthquake happened earlier, did the family get frightened?"

Sure enough, Mrs. Chen changed her mind when she heard the words, "The earthquake is nothing. It shook twice and stayed up in the yard for half the night. Your father and I are fortunate that you and your elder brother are not at home, so we can avoid this disaster." Shocked. It's just that my mother regrets letting you marry the Lu family. The Lu family is a good family, but things happen one after another, and my mother is always afraid that you will be implicated."

Chen Yuexian quickly took the old lady's hand, and said with a smile, "Mother, when a girl gets married, she can't just enjoy life and not suffer. Besides, I have a good life in Lu's house. When I got home last night, the workshop produced such a big My father-in-law and my sister-in-law didn’t complain about it, and my sister-in-law even shared 3000 taels of silver for my husband and I to build a private house on the spot!"

"Really? 3000 taels! That's quite a lot!"

As a mother, I am most happy that my daughter is living a good life. Now I hear that Xiaomi has more silver than my daughter's dowry when I make a move, so I can't stop smiling from ear to ear.

"Your husband's family is so sensible! The parents are here, and the children have no selfish property. Others are afraid that their children will have ulterior motives, but the Lu family loves their children so much."

"So, mother, don't worry, my life is going well."

"Oh, so you were waiting for me here. She's really an outgoing girl, she won't say anything bad about your husband's family!"

"Mom, what are you talking about!"

Chen Yuexian leaned close to his old lady, laughing and quarreling with her.

The mother and daughter talked for a while, and when Boss Lu came back, they left and went back.

Shopkeeper Chen ordered, "Tell Xiaomi that the caravan has been found, let her deliver the things tomorrow, and take them to the academy and Kyoto for convenience."

"Okay, thank you dad."

Boss Lu and his wife agreed and went back to Laoxiongling.

When Xiaomi got the news, he hurriedly put his things together again, and finally shut himself up in the room to write for half the night, and even changed two candles...

As the end of the year approaches, the town outside the Wasteland Academy is more lively than usual.

There is no other reason, that is, the students who study hard should put down their books at this time, go around the town, buy some local products or buy some food, and prepare to go home.

In the tea shed at the entrance of the town, a fat boy in blue jacket and trousers was holding a teacup. Chen stretched his neck and looked towards the intersection, which made the old man who guarded the tea shed couldn't help but greet with a smile, "Little brother!" , Come in and sit for a while, be careful to drink up the wind."

"Old man, I'm not cold, the padded jacket is thick!"

Gouzi smiled and shook the wolf fur hat on his head, showing off, "This hat is warmer!"

The old man thought of the winter clothes of his little grandson, and he really envied him, "You, a good owner. I heard that your son eats whatever, so he will give you what to eat, and teach you to read and write?"

"Yes, my young master said that all the servants in the family can read and write, and I can't fall behind."

Gouzi lifted his chin, very proud.But there was a tea guest next to him, with a wicked mind, seeing the dog's handsome face, he teased and said, "Yo, there is such a lovely little book boy, put it on me, I have to love it so much."

Gouzi heard the maliciousness in these words, turned around and gave the man a hard look, and when he was about to speak, the old man at the tea stall pointed to the outside and said, "Look, little brother, that's Bei'an Prefecture team?"
