Ye Wenxin and Song Yintang are still in correspondence, no more than when Song Yintang went to Yanjing, but there is still one after ten days and a half months, she never avoids Shi Gui in her letters, Shi Gui does not look closely, refills some tea for her, and then retreats again, and goes to the West Chamber, peeling oranges with Qiu Niang to keep the New Year.

Because it was the first year of the Chinese New Year, Shi Gui also bought two pots of small lucky oranges, which could only be placed on the bed table of the Luohan bed, and a basin was placed in a room, tied with red streamers, and it was good to add some joy during the New Year.

Compared with the original Song family, Ye Wenxin was also happy, picked a few golden red colored tassels, hung them on the golden Fu Tangerine, a room with this bright color, looking at the people in a happy mood, when Ye Wenxin wrote a letter, he looked at the pot of Fu Tangerine, simply adjusted the paint, and painted a pot for Song Yintang in the blank space of the letterhead.

Shi Gui peeled melon seeds and walnuts a few times, Qiu Niang had a stomach plan, she was a blessing in disguise this time, after seeing more, the more she felt that her daughter was a knowledgeable person, she was only a few years old when she could say that she moved into the town and opened a dumpling wonton shop, she and the green calyx really relied on the money she saved, otherwise she would not be able to get out of Chen Niangzi.

A few people sat on the Luohan bed, lit a charcoal basin on the ground, since they planned to live together, Shi Gui spread out the words and said: "We also have to take a charter out, don't worry when we go, thanks to the girl's blessing, take a boat together, you can save a lot of fare, but when you get to the place, I don't know how big the girl's brother's house is, and we can't live in vain." ”

"That's natural, her sister and brother are already difficult, that is, there are mountains of gold and silver, and they have to be frugal if they don't make a living in the future, where can we eat and live for nothing. Qiu Niang thought about it and said: "According to me, we will also set up a wonton stall when we get to the place, you don't say that the place is close to the sea, since it is close to the sea, let's make fish and meat dumplings and fish wontons, I don't know how the people in that place eat, whether it is salty or light." ”

There is a stall on the wharf, and someone has to support it, the business there is good, and not ordinary people can open it, Shi Gui thought about what Ye Wenxin said about Suizhou, and still felt that he had to go to the local area to take a look, no matter how good he thought about it at this time, if it was not practical, it would be in vain.

"I still have some savings, and when we get there, we don't have to set up a stall immediately, we have to settle down first, and then we have to see what kind of business we can do. "Shi Gui doesn't have much silver in his hand, but there are a lot of things, and the next time Gao Jia comes again, he will ask him to sell, Suizhou is a port, and Western things come in from this port, and gems and beads are especially cheap, if you sell them there, you will sell them cheaply.

Calculate that there is always fifty taels of things in that package, gold bracelets, gold earrings, and strings of fragrant beads, silver jewelry, and then sell the silk and satin materials, about this number, the silk and satin are sold, and they will not be able to wear them in the future, if it is not for the news suddenly, it will be more valuable to sell it in the summer.

Shi Gui abacus, Qiu Niang also pointed out the silver, she and the green calyx only have five dollars of silver, do a day's business and one day into the account, where can the two be idle, know that they will use money in the future, and want to go to the stall, tired is tired, and it is also a reliable livelihood.

Shi Gui calculated an account, and it was enough to make a shop there, and persuaded Qiu Niang: "There are so many people in the city, it is snow and rain, and it is not easy to go. ”

Where can these two rest, knowing that Shi Gui is still embroidering a handkerchief to save money, and he is becoming more and more idle, Xizi sat on the corner of the bed, watching them settle accounts, Shi Gui had a small calculation in his hand, kept taking the paper to write down something, and sighed: "We still know too little." ”

The travelogue and Ye Wenlan's letter only write how to prosper, and Yan and Ye Wenlan don't do business, where will they write about how much the shop is rented and sold, thinking that the price in Suizhou is only about the same as that of Jinling City, and I have to ask Gao Jia.

The night is getting thicker and thicker, and it is snowing in the sky again, Shi Gui is guarding the window, and sees that the sky is a little bright, it is fireworks in the city, Qiu Niang touched her daughter's sideburns: "You go to sleep quickly, Ming'er has to follow the girl to Song's house." ”

When Shi Gui returned to the house, Ye Wenxin had just finished writing the letter, drank a bowl of sweet soup with red dates, and was ready to go to sleep, the days were getting closer and closer, and the expectations were getting deeper and deeper.

Shi Gui blew the lamp, and there was a burst of firecrackers outside, thinking that the New Year had passed, so the cannons were fired, and the two closed their eyes listened to the crackling cannons and fell asleep, and the next morning of the second day, Qiu Niang came to knock on the door, afraid that they would be late for the New Year, and they would have to rush to the early morning for the New Year.

Since you are going to come to the door to pay New Year's greetings, you can't dress too plainly, Shi Gui turned out a blue jacket for Ye Wenxin the day before, with silver silk flowers woven in it, combed his hair and then put on the Dongzhu hairpin, and the bottom is a silver striped skirt, all of which are plain, and it is not rude to look at it.

As soon as the city gate opened, Gao Jia drove out of the car, he waited by the door, Mrs. Liu also gave him a bowl of sweet soup, this bowl of soup for the New Year had to be drunk before it was complete, and then ate two ingots eggs, Shi Gui helped Ye Wenxin out.

Entering the city by car, Shi Gui kept asking Gao Jia, asking him how much the shops in the east and west cities cost, Gao Jia knew a lot, pointed twice, Ye Wenxin chuckled when he heard it: "Are you really planning to open a store and do business?"

Shi Gui smiled slightly: "Naturally, you have to make a living, it's difficult and not afraid, you can't sit and eat empty." "After asking Gao Jia, I knew that there are many doorways here, the shop is easy to get, but the business is difficult to do, Shi Gui doesn't want Qiu Niang to come and go in the rain, and it is better to have a house in the backyard to live in.

She was full of the days when she arrived in Suizhou, and she was still planning to get to the place, but Shi Ju waited in front of the door early, took the New Year's goods to welcome Ye Wenxin in, and pulled Shi Gui's hand: "Go to me to eat dumplings." ”

Yongshan Li Ye Wenxin is not the earliest, it is later than Song Mian, it is already full of people, Zezhi is a few of them, Gan is leading a pair of children, his eyes are gray, and he doesn't look energetic.

Ye Wenxin came, so the girl hurriedly took the mattress, put it under her knees, and kowtowed to the old lady seriously, and the old lady beckoned to her: "You come, give you a big red envelope." ”

said that it was a big red envelope, but it was a thin red envelope, that is, it was too much, even Shi Gui got a purse and a few silver bills, Shi Gui stood on the edge of the house, his eyes swept away, Song Jingtang sat still, Song Zhimei also lowered his face, or Song Jingtang opened his mouth first: "Grandmother, let Chengyi give you New Year's greetings." ”

Chengyi is the little baby he saved, let him come to pay New Year's greetings, Jin Sailan is also coming, Gan Shi squinted his eyes, but Song Jingtang did not look at his mother, but looked at the old lady, and there was a very pleading tone.

The old lady didn't answer for a long time, pushed the snack box in front of her, and asked Ye Wenxin to eat butter soaked snails, Ye Wenxin pinched a handkerchief and held it, and the old lady said, "Call him." ”

Shi Gui had heard about this Jin Sailan a long time ago, but he had never seen it, as soon as the old lady was inside, the bead curtain sounded outside, obviously she had been waiting for a long time, the old lady's face looked a little better, but Gan didn't look at her son at all, and she was sad, Jin Sailan opened the curtain and came in, leading Chengyi in.

Chengyi is only more than four years old, it is the age of likability, when he came, he learned to speak, smiled when he saw the old lady, did not recognize life at all, wore a red jacket, and raised his hands to greet the New Year.

Jin Sailan was wearing a red dress and a gold jacket, she knew that Gan couldn't get used to her, so she still led Chengyi to worship the New Year, several people each gave New Year's money, Chengyi took a few red envelopes, and held them in his small hands, with a smile on his face.

The old lady's age, she was naturally happy to see him, beckoned him to come over, and gave him a nest candy, even Jin Ceran had a seat, sitting at the end, Shi Gui looked at her willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, and she looked very ideaful, and she didn't know if she could get married as she wished.

Zezhi sat next to Ye Wenxin, Chengyi didn't recognize life at all, his eyes were staring at the silk silk on her skirt, Zezhi untied it and played with it, he also knew that he would look at Jin Celan first, and when he saw her nodding, he was relieved, and he pulled it in his hand with a smile, and pulled me with Zezhi.

Shi Gui remembered that he was going to eat dumplings with Shi Ju, so he went out with the excitement and discussed with Qibao, before he walked to the bamboo forest in front of the secluded fence, and saw a few light bamboos waiting for her.

Today, because of her coming, I asked the kitchen for a pot to eat shabu fish balls, drank two glasses of wine, as well as roast duck and white-cut chicken, one dumpling per person, half a plate was gone, and Danzhu said while eating: "I don't know when you will be able to come back and eat wine with us in the future." ”

Shi Gui raised his glass and touched it with one of them: "There is no certainty in the world, I can always come to see you." "A few people knew that they couldn't, but they all laughed, you have a chopstick and I have a chopstick, and I have eaten all the fish balls.

Everyone knew that it was the last time they got together, and Danzhu sighed: "It turned out that I would add makeup when I got married, but I didn't add any of them." At that time, I joked that Shi Ju's embroidery was good, so I had to ask her to embroider a hundred sons and thousands of grandchildren.

As soon as he said this, he had to be punished for drinking, and when the banquet was opened, he was not allowed to say the words of parting, Danzhu violated the rules, fined a glass of wine, gnawed a duck and ate a chicken, and lay on the bed, one by one, holding hands and talking, coming to the Song family, there are really only these few who are really good with her: "If you can come in the future, come to see me." Fingers hooked fingers, and the four of them agreed.

No matter how reluctant you are, you still have to separate, the shipping schedule is set for the beginning of February, everything is packed into the box, and when you leave, you heard a happy event, saying that Song Jingtang's family affairs have been decided, Gan's family is relieved, locked in the house and cried for a day, Song Jingtang took Chengyi and Jin Sailan to guard the door, Jin Sailan made soup with her own hands, and kept it warm on the stove, waiting for her to open the door.

From sunrise to sunset, Gan opened the door and took a bite of soup, even if he recognized her, Song Zhimei wanted to stop her again, the first two agreed, it was useless for her to persuade her brother, and the Song family was ready to do a happy event again.

On the day of February Erlong raised his head, Shi Gui's family followed Ye Wenxin on the official ship, the old lady Song asked someone to take them to Suizhou, and the willow trees on the bank only emerged tender yellow buds, there was a celebration in Jinling City, and the dragon danced through the street, Shi Gui opened the small window of the boat and looked out, looking at the red and yellow lanterns hanging in the city, and the boat left the peach leaf ferry and went to the heart of the vast river.
