The next day is the eighth day of the new year, and this street is full of shops, so the sound of firecrackers has not been interrupted since the beginning of the morning, and the whole street is full of gunpowder smell, which is what adds to the atmosphere of the year.

Xuan Miao'er was not exempt from vulgarity, which made Xuan Anrui and Qianmo hang two strings of whips with sticks and go out.

As soon as Xuan Anrui and Qianmo went out, Hua Jiye came in, took off his coat when he entered the house, and then knocked the ash on his sleeve: "I was whipped all the way, and I collapsed into ashes." ”

"Won't you come back in a while? On the eighth day of the new year today, which shop doesn't let go of whips in the morning?" Xuan Miao'er walked to the basin, washed him a cloth towel and handed it over.

Hua Jiye wiped his face: "You have no conscience, didn't I want to come over early to help you release the whip?"

Xuan Miaoer couldn't cry or laugh: "I'm so many men, no one can let go of the whip, but I understand your kindness." ”

Hua Jiye finished wiping, walked to the basin by himself, washed the cloth towel, and put it on the shelf: "Why am I here too, just go out and let them whip Qianmo." ”

"Go ahead, I'm afraid of the whip, so I don't go out, just listen to the sound at the door." "Xuan Miao'er didn't go out.

Not long after Hua Jiye went out, there was a burst of firecrackers outside, which crackled and also indicated that business would be prosperous in the coming year.

put the whip, Hua Jiye and they came in, Xuan Miaoer is not good to take Hua Jiye to the backyard alone now, because she is thirteen years old, even if she is a businesswoman, she is not so particular, but she can't be alone with a foreign man.

There are not many people in the store today, only Zhou Yuguang came today, and the rest of Xuan Miaoer gave them a few more days off, anyway, the art gallery is not busy in the past few days of the New Year, and the entertainment venues such as the tavern and the Qinglou are the most lively in the first month.

Zhou Yuguang came and started to work, upstairs and downstairs to clean up, Xuan Miaoer and Hua Jiye went upstairs to chat, this upstairs is also a shop, so there are also people going up and down the stairs, not counting the two alone, the two are upstairs talking about interesting things during the New Year.

At noon, the family next to Mr. Huafu Hua sent an invitation again.

The family Ding was not surprised to see Hua Jiye when he came in: "Eldest son, the master asked me to send an invitation to Miss Xuan." ”

Hua Jiye frowned, what are you going to do with this? But he can't be too sensitive: "My father invited Miss Xuan? This is a good thing, hurry up and give the invitation to Miss Xuan." ”

The family Ding took a step forward and presented the invitation card to Xuan Miao'er with both hands: "Miss Xuan, our lord will invite Miss Xuan to have a light meal at home tomorrow afternoon, and go to see the plum blossoms in our house by the way." ”

Xuan Miaoer turned out the invitation, glanced at Hua Jiye, and couldn't see anything on the guy's face at this time, since it was Hua Jiye's father's invitation, wouldn't it be a direct slap on Hua Jiye's face if she didn't go, she had to go: "Then the troublesome little brother went back and told Master Hua that I will definitely go to the banquet on time tomorrow." ”

The family Ding looked at Hua Jiye with a smile, waiting for Hua Jiye to give him a reward, Hua Jiye really didn't let him down, he grabbed Erlang's legs, and threw over two pieces of broken silver: "Don't run in vain, Miss Xuan is my friend, when she goes to our house, you have to wait well." ”

The family was naturally happy when he took the silver, smiled from ear to ear, and hurriedly bowed: "Don't worry, the eldest son, the little one must have ten heart eyes to serve." ”

Xuan Miao'er couldn't help but smile and looked at Hua Jiye's hanging appearance: "Are you at home tomorrow?"

"If you go to my house, I must be here, how can we compare our friendship with others, originally Zhang Gongzi asked me to go to Yihong Mansion, I will go to him later, and make an appointment to go the day after tomorrow." Hua Jiye continued to cross Erlang's legs, snorting.

Seeing that there was nothing wrong with him, the two of them couldn't interject when they spoke: "Eldest son, Miss Xuan, if it's okay, I'll go back first to restore my life." ”

Hua Jiye waved his hand: "Go back, go back, don't leave when you're done, what do you want to hear?" Go home, if you dare to tell my father, I'm going to Yihong Mansion, I'll chop you up and feed the dog when I go back." ”

The family was so frightened that he sweated: "No, no, the eldest son, I have the strictest mouth, not to mention that the eldest prince gives so much silver to the small one, and the small one can't be ungrateful." ”

"Get out, get out, if you don't say it, you have that mouth to say. Hua Jiye looked impatient.

The man hurriedly said goodbye to the two men and trotted out.

The man walked away, and Xuan Miaoer laughed: "Hua Jiye, you are like schizophrenia this day, and I have been bluffed by you." ”

Hua Jiye smiled bitterly: "Do you think I'm willing, otherwise I can live so comfortably all these years? ”

"It's not easy, our family is much better now, I hope you will come out early, what are your plans for your family?" Xuan Miao'er hadn't asked before, but she had recently contacted Master Hua and Mrs. Lan a few times, so she tried to inquire.

Hua Jiye didn't want to hide it from Xuan Miaoer: "I haven't sorted out the mess of my family yet, I don't value those family properties, but I can't cheap those outsiders, half of the Hua family's family business belongs to my mother, I can't let it be given to those wolves, and the cause of my mother's death, I have always had doubts." ”

Xuan Miao'er didn't expect so many things here: "I have heard a lot about this deep mansion compound before, you have to be careful, Mrs. Lan's greed is too great, your two younger brothers don't have any ability, but they are that kind of ruthless." ”

"You can see that I am very good at reading people, don't worry, I have lived in this environment for more than 20 years, and the time of danger has long passed, I have no wife and no children, and they can't do anything about me. Hua Jiye said it easily, but there was bitterness in his words.

"What about after that?" asked Xuan Miao'er with a frown.

Hua Jiye shook his head: "Actually, I'm very conflicted now, I'm afraid to find out the cause of my mother's death, because this matter is inseparable from these people in Huafu, and I can't leave there before I find out." ”

Xuan Miaoer stretched out her hand and wanted to pat Hua Jiye's hand to comfort him, but she felt inappropriate when she stretched out her hand, put her hand on the teapot, and poured a cup of tea for Hua Jiye: "Everything has to end after all." ”

"You're right, I've been sending someone to secretly check on it lately. As soon as Hua Jiye finished speaking, he heard the sound of someone going upstairs, so he stopped talking about it and changed the subject: "Tomorrow you go to our house, I will definitely ask the kitchen to make you a flower chicken, my new chef's skills are not bad." ”

Xuan Miaoer also knew that someone had gone upstairs when he changed the topic, so she hurriedly said: "That's a good feeling, I like to eat in addition to painting, and let your kitchen prepare more desserts." ”

"Okay, don't worry, it's all your favorite food. Hua Jiye looked at her dotingly. (To be continued.) )
