The splendid countryside of the princess

Chapter 164 It's Another Year, New Year's Benefits

"Third brother, it is still useful for you to go out to study. I firmly support you, little girl. When my mother beats you next time, I will tell her not to slap your butt so that it is swollen. At most, I will spank your butt ten times." Just a few times! Haha..."

"You little girl, you are a bad little girl. There are less than a dozen hits at most. Maybe my mother only wants to hit twice. Oh, it turned into a dozen hits after you said it. I have to be grateful to you." Thank you for your help, then the third brother, I am at a loss!"

"Haha..." Tang Feng and Tang Dai burst into laughter when they heard this.

The third brother is so cute and funny, with him at home, you can always look for him to have fun and amuse yourself!The three brothers and sisters were talking and laughing in the hall, and then went to their own business.Because in the 24th year of the twelfth lunar month, not only do we have to sweep the dust, but we also have to sacrifice to the Kitchen God. Everyone is busy.

Tang Dai thought about it for a while and took Xiaoqing to Tang Butcher's house, because there were so many people in the chili workshop this year, and they wanted to give out welfare. In previous years, the welfare included pork, so this year is no exception. A few pigs, killing three during the Chinese New Year, giving out benefits, giving them away, and eating the rest at home is enough.

When they came to Tang Butcher's pig case, Tang Butcher was not there, only her wife was helping to look after the pork stall, saying that Tang Butcher went to help the village to kill New Year's pigs today.Tang Dai told the old woman why she came, and the old woman asked enthusiastically when, Tang Dai said that it would be the 25th of the twelfth lunar month tomorrow, but three heads had to be slaughtered.

After hearing this, the woman hurriedly agreed on behalf of Butcher Tang, saying that it happened to be out tomorrow, and it was a coincidence that she didn't make an appointment with him.After Daisy Tang thanked her, she took Xiaoqing back home. When she passed by the house of the village chief's grandfather, Tang Wangwang, she heard someone calling her in the house, so she hurriedly walked in. It turned out that it was Li Guihua who greeted her.

"Little girl, it's the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, are you still busy outside?" Li Guihua, who was sitting on a small stool in the main room, was washing something with her hands, asked.

"That's right, Aunt Osmanthus, aren't you busy too? Brother Jingou, your school break, why didn't you go to my house to play?" Tang Dai glanced at Tang Yushun, who was also helping to wipe the dust.

"I...I'm reading at home!" Tang Yushun said weakly, his voice was like a mosquito in summer.

"Huh? Don't rest even after the holidays?...Ah, Brother Jingou, if I hadn't seen you, I would have forgotten to ask you, how did you do in this year's exam?"

Hearing this, Tang Yushun put down the dishcloth in his hand, a trace of shyness appeared on his face, and he murmured and didn't know how to answer Xiaoniu Sister. It wasn't that he didn't pass the exam, but he felt that his ranking was too low, so he was embarrassed to say it.

"What's the matter? Didn't pass the exam?" Tang Dai observed Tang Yushun's face and asked in doubt.

"No, no... no... no, I passed the exam, but the ranking is too embarrassing, it's the third from the bottom of the list, I'm embarrassed to tell you."

"Isn't it good to pass the exam? You look like this. I thought you didn't pass the exam again. It scared me." Tang Dai was relieved when she heard that, and patted her flat chest with her small hands.

It is better to have a bad ranking than not to pass the exam!

No wonder the village chief's grandfather's family is so low-key. It turned out that they disliked the bad ranking. This is a comparison with the third brother. If she didn't think of it today and asked, she would have to keep it secret.

"Little girl, am I too stupid? I also worked very hard, but I just failed in the exam. You see, your third brother is only a little older than me, but he studies so well. In the academy where there are many talents, he can The name is now at the top. I feel a little discouraged about myself." After Tang Yushun finished speaking, he shrugged his head, a little discouraged.

"Brother Jingou, you are only 12 years old this year. It is already remarkable to be a scholar at this age. It's not that you are stupid, but that you take my third brother as a comparison object, and you are too demanding of yourself. Like my third brother It’s only in rare cases that he is highly sensitive to book knowledge and has a strong ability to accept, you don’t have to compare with him, just learn from yourself, understand?”

"Really? Sister Xiaoniu, do you think I'm good? Then I won't compare with your third brother, I will compare with my classmates. You are right, my classmates took the exam together, and I only have three I passed the exam, and once you say that, I have confidence!"

Tang Yushun listened to Tang Dai's enlightenment, thought about it, and felt that what Tang Dai said was right, he regained his energy in an instant, his shrugged shoulders straightened up, and a pair of big apricot eyes glisteningly looked at his little sister, who was so amazing , Every time he speaks, he can speak to his heart!
"Of course, you are great, very good! My Tang Xiaoniu's brother, no matter who he is, how can he not be good? You have passed the exam, so you have to go to the county school next year, right?"

"Yes, my grandfather has signed up for me in the county school, and I will go to study after the Chinese New Year."

"Okay, Brother Jingou, then you continue to work hard and strive to participate in Qiuwei in three years. If you can win in one fell swoop, then your grandfather, Uncle Zhuzi, and Aunt Osmanthus will be too happy to sleep."

"Hey... Thank you little girl, I will." Tang Yushun laughed twice, picked up the rag and began to wipe the dust again.

"Little girl, you are the best, so you told him in a few words. Don't you know? You know that you are at the bottom of the exam, and you are unhappy and unhappy when you go home. You ignore me and Uncle Zhuzi. It's still him When Grandpa asked, he realized that he was not happy because he did not do as well as he expected in the exam. He told us again and again not to let us go out and talk about it, it was too shameless. Haha..."

Li Guihua complained to Tang Dai, and finally laughed happily. It was a happy thing to be a scholar in the exam, but when I arrived at her house, it was cloudy all day, so I couldn't talk about him. His grandfather said it was a child who wanted to improve performance, with him.At last Tang Yushun's face brightened, and Li Guihua smiled happily.

"Haha...really? Brother Jingou, you are too demanding of yourself. It is a good thing to have high demands on yourself, but it will be counterproductive if you pass it. My third brother also arrived home the day before yesterday. You can go to my house when you are free, and meet my elder brother , the third brother chat more, gain more knowledge, it is also good to ask them for advice, reading can not just be mere rote, you have to expand your horizons and the depth of knowledge."

"Okay, little girl, I'll listen to you. I'll help my mother clean up today, and I'll go find your third brother tomorrow." Tang Yushun hurriedly nodded in agreement.

"Then you are busy, I am leaving."

When the two returned home, Tang Dai told Mrs. Li that she had called Butcher Tang home tomorrow to kill pigs, and Mrs. Li nodded and said she understood.At this time, Tang Hua also came back from the embroidery shop in the county town for the New Year, and it was Bai Ci who sent her back again. Seeing the two of them being so close, and Bai Ci being considerate of Tang Hua, Tang Dai smiled and narrowed her eyes.

"Baici, how did you do in the autumn exam this year? Why is there no news?"

Because of Tang Yushun's matter, Tang Dai reminded her of Baici's time to go to the Juren examination this year, why one or two, if she didn't ask, no one would mention it.

"Ha... I took the exam, but I didn't pass the exam. I'm not that kind of material. I made an agreement with my father that I won't take the exam in the future. I will wholeheartedly follow him to learn business. My sister will marry and go home, and live a peaceful life."

Baici raised his head, he didn't pass the Juren exam after six years, he wanted to feel a little bit ashamed, but he said to Tang Dai with a complacent look.Anyway, he has a wife and everything is fulfilled now, although he is still halfway to be his wife, but his fiancée is also a wife!

And last month when the eldest girl was married, his family had already sent someone over to ask for a date at the eldest girl's house. Little girl, Aunt Li has already agreed to their family's application date. The wedding date will be on August [-] next year. In a good time, he can't wait to marry the big girl back, so what kind of study should he stop? In the future, he will do business well, support the big girl, and support the children who will be born in the future!

"Oh...so that's the case. I said why there was no noise at all. I went to celebrate Xiao Laba's birthday on the eighth day of the lunar new year. I forgot to ask, but your sister didn't say anything. Depending on the situation, are you going to take the exam again?"

"Hey, yes. I told your sister too. From now on, I will do business and support her with peace of mind." After Bai Ci finished speaking, he reached out and hugged Tang Hua who was sitting next to him.

"Let go!" Tang Hua blushed, opened Bai Ci's hand, and glanced at his sister embarrassedly.

"Baici, remember what you said, be nice to my second sister after getting married, if you dare to bully my second sister again, be careful I will kick you again." Tang Dai glanced at Baici and threatened him.

"I'll be nice to her, you don't need to tell me. Hey, Tang Xiaoniu, you're still yelling, it's not big or small, when will you change to brother-in-law?"

"What are you in a hurry for? As long as my sister hasn't married you, you won't be. Wait until you get married."

"Big girl... look at your sister, you have to talk about her, she is always so big or small, I don't have any face at all. Big girl... I want to hear her call her brother-in-law." Bai Ci said to Tang Dai Helpless, he began to play rogue with Tang Hua again.

"Stop, stop...Bai Ci, why are you showing off your affection in front of my sister? I have a thin skin, and if you want to hide and show off, I can't stand it."

"Okay, you sent me home, and I'm here too, you should go back!" Seeing what his sister said, Tang Hua looked at her and Bai Ci with a pair of clear and smiling eyes, his face turned even redder, and he was about to push him away. Bai times back.

"Big girl... It's New Year's Eve today, and you actually kicked me out! If I don't leave, I want to eat at your house, and besides, your shop is closed, and it won't be until after the New Year..." I saw you!

Bai Ci didn't finish his sentence, but Tang Hua understood what he meant, glanced at his sister, blushed and hurried back to his embroidery room on the third floor, without saying anything about Bai Ci.

Bai once saw that Tang Hua really understood what he meant, and didn't chase him away. He was so happy that the root of his tail was itchy, and he gave Tang Dai a sideways glance, and stepped upstairs, chasing Tang Hua like a follower. .

Seeing the wind blowing under his feet and the corners of his clothes flying, Tang Dai couldn't help twitching her eyes and shook her head.Before Baici met his second sister, he was in love with flowers all day long, attracting bees and butterflies, but now that he meets his second sister, he becomes a wife and slave.Ah, the creatures in this world are really one thing and one thing!
So, it's not that you are bothered, but that you haven't met the person who allows you to concentrate on your life, understand?

And from this point to that point, will Feng Rongruo be the one in her lifelong couple?And is she the one in his heart who has been on top of his heart all his life?

In the world, there has never been an eternal oath; everything needs time to prove!

On the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, Tang Dai, as in previous years, began to distribute New Year benefits and had her annual leave.

The 120 workers in the chili workshop (Ms. Tang Zhang was thrown into the dark guard camp by Feng Rongruo, and Aunt Tang Dai made up for it when she came, so there are still 120 workers), got up early in the morning, had breakfast in a hurry, and went to the workshop Came to line up, waiting to receive the wages of the twelfth lunar month and this year's benefits.

All of them were still wearing the winter overalls issued by the workshop. The men were still in cyan, only the women were changed to dark red by Tang Dai. The clothes were neat and capable, and both men and women showed a heroic spirit. .

All of them stood proudly and neatly, bathed in the envious gazes of the villagers, neither in a hurry nor in a hurry.Because Tang Xiaoniu, the little boss, said yesterday that this year's welfare is three catties of pork, two catties of peanuts, two catties of sunflower seeds, and the bonus is [-] copper coins.

And the five people who were rated as the most active and serious are doubled on this basis, and the one who advances is doubled. That No. 1 is really amazing. This year’s Chinese New Year’s pork at home, roasted seeds and nuts are not used by themselves. bought.

Seeing that a hundred and twenty people had all arrived, Tang Dai came out with the management staff of the workshop. Uncle Li Xiaofu and uncle Tang Dagui, the two of them carried a large basket of copper plates.Xiaobai still kept a cold face, standing on the side to protect.

Now Xiaobai has completely given up on his former master, that unreliable one, who threw him into this small mountain village, will not call him back.At the beginning, Xiaobai's psychological gap was still quite big, but the new master was also good. He followed her to eat and drink spicy food, and rarely did those dangerous things. He ate and drank enough every day, and then went to sleep in the chili workshop. Don't have a good day.

The only fly in the ointment is that there is no daughter-in-law to warm his bed. Alas, it is a bit difficult to find a wife for him who looks cold when he sees people. One day, he will talk to his new master and let her find a way to find him for him.

Looking at the large basket of copper plates, everyone's eyes lit up.Tang Dai ordered the men in the team to follow her into the workshop, and brought the prepared pork, roasted seeds and nuts, and a basket of red bags. Inside the bag was the year-end bonus, which the family wrapped overnight.

All the things were carried out and ready, the little uncle took the account book, read a person's name, and the person came out, first went to Tang Dai to receive salary, and then went to Tang Dagui to receive benefits. 120 people sent it out, and it took more than an hour to send it all out.

After posting, seeing that everyone hadn't left yet, Tang Dai spoke on behalf of the workshop, meaning that as long as everyone was united and worked hard, she would not treat everyone badly.This year-end benefit is proof, and the top five high benefits are proof.

After Tang Dai finished speaking, everyone expressed that they would still work hard next year and follow the chick to make a fortune.After being lively for most of the morning, the villagers gradually dispersed.Everyone is saying that everyone has made money growing peppers, and those who work in pepper workshops have also made money. This year's Tangjia Village is different from previous years, and every household can have a good year.

The workshop was shut down and closed for the Chinese New Year. Tang Dagui, his uncle, Xiaobai, his aunt, mother and son all followed Tang Dai back home.After returning home, Tang Dai wrapped her uncle's salary of this month, ten taels of silver, plus a bonus of 20 taels of silver, in a big red envelope bag, and gave it to the little uncle.

From the kitchen, he took out two pieces of ten catties of meat, ten catties of peanuts, and ten catties of melon seeds, and put them on my uncle's donkey cart.Because these were agreed upon by my uncle before he came to the workshop, my uncle didn't refuse, said goodbye to Tang Dai, and drove back to Lijiazhuang in a donkey cart to celebrate the New Year.

The workshop was closed, and my aunt, mother and son had nowhere to go, so Tang Dai had to let her live at home. There was a vacant room next to her mother on the third floor, which was cleaned up for her mother and son to live in.

Aunt Lu and Aunt Li in the tofu shop at home asked their mother, Mrs. Li, to increase the amount by 30.00% according to the welfare standard of the chili workshop, so that they both stopped and returned home for the New Year, while the tofu shop cleaned up. Clean and closed.

The family is all busy, and only those in the county are left.Let Xiaobai take the carriage, Xiaoqing, and the three of them went to the county seat again, went around the two tofu workshops in the county seat, distributed the wages and benefits, and also asked them to clean up the tofu workshop and have a good time years.

Tang Dai has completely handed over the "Opportunity Can't Miss" store to Aunt Xiaomei. The money invested at that time and the subsequent share should go to Tang Dai. Aunt Li Mei will give a lot of it. From now on, this shop will be Aunt Xiaomei that's it.

Since Aunt Xiaomei's family came to Chang'an County to open a shop, life at home is getting better day by day. , used, worn, never tight.

Not only the scholar-in-law was coaxed to be happy, he felt that he had face, the two elders in the family even praised everyone they met, saying that her daughter-in-law was a good fortune to the Wangfuwang family.Three years ago, the fortune teller was very clever. I don't know when I will see the fortune teller again, but I have to let him pinch again. The two of them always don't know how long they can live. Shou, enjoy this good day.The days are better, they can't bear to die!
Aunt Xiaomei's family is now the richest man in their village. Not only did the family build a big house, but the eldest daughter also found a wealthy family in the town as she wished, and she will be a young mistress in the future. So, Aunt Xiaomei from the Wang family is here The status of the family can be said to rise with the tide.

After staying in Chang'an County for three years and being a proprietress for three years, Aunt Xiaomei is no longer the uninformed village woman she was three years ago, and she also understands that the fortune teller back then was actually sent by Tang Dai to help her. Apart from being grateful to the chick, there is nothing in return.It's just that I talk to my mother and the third grandmother from time to time, saying that even if you are a cow or a horse, you can't repay the little girl's kindness.

The third grandma still lived a long time and was wiser than her daughter. She told her that helping her was the chick's repayment of her kindness.As long as she manages the store well, she will repay the little girl's favor if she lives well.The chick doesn't need you to think about repaying the favor, if you do this, you will live up to the chick's intentions.

The third grandma's eyes were seen by Tang Dai, and she took medicine and got an injection, but it didn't get worse.And it's comfortable to live with her daughter in the store, her son-in-law treats her better than his unfilial son.Therefore, it is more conducive to her condition, and it also allows her to enjoy a few years of happiness.

Three masters and servants, Tang Dai, went to the Evergreen Restaurant after finishing their work in the store. Tang Dai mainly wanted to ask about the dividends of the restaurant this year, to see how much she could get.And what about the income, whether it has decreased or increased during the Chinese New Year.Ouyang Qing is not here, she has to ask.

Shopkeeper Ouyang took the account book, Tang Dai read it at a glance, and closed the book happily, thinking that the white money was in his pocket again, praised shopkeeper Ouyang, had lunch in the restaurant, and then went leisurely back to catch up.

Today is 26, Feng Rongruo is driving faster than them, she should have arrived at Ning Mansion, I don't know how things are going?

At this time, Ning Mansion, Ning Zhi Mansion, who was also busy with matters related to the New Year, came in to report that a young master Feng from outside the mansion had come to visit.

Master Feng?Which Feng Gongzi?Feng is the national surname in Fengnan Country.

After listening to the doorman's description of the appearance and clothing of this Young Master Feng, Zhifu Ning immediately understood that this is Feng Rongruo, the son of Feng Rongruo from Prince An's Mansion, who did not know what happened. He ran out of the mansion to meet Feng Shizi.

Not everyone can provoke this cold-faced killing god? !You can't let him wait at the gate of the house for too long!He is in his prime, and he hasn't worn enough black hats yet, so he doesn't want to retire to the countryside so early.

While running, I searched in my mind, thinking that I haven't had any major problems in my official business these days?This New Year's Eve, why did the emperor send Prince Feng to find him?The more I thought about it, the more panicked I became, and my feet ran faster.
