With such a chapter name, 96 himself also wanted to laugh at O(∩_∩)O

===========================================================

Even if not everyone is happy, this year has come in its footsteps.

Firecrackers broke the silence of the night, and Zhen Xuan held Tang Pozi in her arms and kept vigil in the house with Mrs. Li, Ji and Zhen Heng.

Zhen Heng was young, and he fell asleep by Lu's mother earlier, and when he heard the sound of firecrackers, he opened his eyes in a daze, and smiled toothily: "Firecrackers, it's good." ”

That appearance amused everyone, Mrs. Li looked at Zhen Heng lovingly, and said to Lu's mother: "It's too late, take him back to sleep." After speaking, he turned his head to look at Zhen Xuan, "You can go back too, you will get up at dawn." ”

Zhen Xuan nodded in response, and when she lay down on the bed, she was sleepy, and before she fell asleep, she thought that it had been another year before she knew it.

Mr. Ji's family arrived on the morning of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year like last year, and Mr. Ji was in excellent spirits, and even Mrs. Li was infected when she saw it, and there was a smile on her face.

When Zhen Xuan and Zhen Heng met, Master Ji told Mrs. Li about last year's business with a smile on his face: "The disaster has passed, the harvest on the Zhuangzi will be good, and the sales are basically there, and there is no worry about selling." Looking at the things sent by Zhou Zhuangzi a few years ago, how did the old lady taste it? ”

Zhen Xuan remembered that at that time, Wangzhou Zhuangzi sent a few chickens and a few baskets of eggs, and the rest of the vegetables were fresh and pickled, and Mrs. Li especially liked the pickles. said that it was very clear to eat these things when he was old, and after tasting it, he divided the piano and sent it to a few concubines.

Sure enough, Mrs. Li smiled and said, "That pickle is so good." I sent it to my sister-in-law and sister-in-law, and they all said it was delicious. ”

When Master Ji heard this, he hurriedly said, "Since the old lady likes it." Pickled vegetables are made by Zhou Zhuangzi all year round, and I asked them to send some seasonal ones every month, eating radishes in winter and lotus roots in summer. ”

"You have a heart. In the summer, I don't have an appetite, so I have to eat this pickled vegetable especially for dinner, and I am waiting to eat it. ”

Master Ji was overjoyed, and he fell out with the Pei family for the Ji family a few years ago. He was annoyed, so he didn't come to the door again, until he was cheeky and begged for a dowry, he felt that he couldn't stand the Ji family and his niece, and he wanted to be closer to the Pei family more and more in the past two years.

Pickles are cheap. It's just a coincidence, so Mrs. Li is willing to reach out and ask him for it, and if Mrs. Li can be happy, why not do it.

After talking about Zhuangzi and talking about the shop, Master Ji said: "The shop business has a little look, but it can't be compared with before, I think this is also a helpless thing, and the people have less spare money in their hands." There must be less to buy. I guess it's going to be better this year. ”

Mrs. Li naturally understood the meaning of this, Ji's dowry had already been given to Yu Hui, and Master Ji couldn't let Zhen Xuan blindly suffer, and would work hard to earn the dowry for Zhen Xuan. Mrs. Li smiled and waved her hand, and said, "I don't know about this business. But listening to what you said, if you can get better day by day, there is hope, and this matter is not in a hurry. ”

Master Ji hurriedly responded a few times.

While Mrs. Li and Master Ji were talking, Yu Jun beckoned Zhen Xuan to the side and said, "The garden next to the hot spring, I heard that the Xia family started construction a few months ago, and we will start construction after the New Year." ”

Zhen Xuan was stunned when she heard this, the word Xia family was circling in her mind, and she remembered the narrow alley that day, and Xia Erye rescued Tao Aya.

Unconsciously, Zhen Xuan asked: "Cousin is coming back this time, are you going to visit Second Master Xia?" ”

Yu Jun was stunned for a moment, and asked curiously, "I told you about the second line of the Xia family?" ”

Zhen Xuan was stared at by Yu Jun's eyes and turned red, Yu Jun is a shrewd person, if he talks nonsense, it is not good, so he said: "Didn't you just meet Aunt Jiu when you came back?" I got a gold bracelet from her, and asked the sixth sister to draw some patterns, and took it to Linglong Pavilion to melt the bracelet and beat it again. At that time, I listened to what Shi Niangzi of Linglong Pavilion said. ”

After listening to this, Yu Jun said with a smile: "I said, I don't remember telling you this." I'm going to visit Second Master Xia this time. ”

Zhen Xuan opened her mouth, she wanted Yu Jun to bring another word of thanks, but after thinking about it, she had already asked Shi Niangzi to bring it once last time. This time, I asked Yu Jun to help again, but I was a little insincere, so I swallowed my words again, thinking that when I went to Linglong Pavilion to pick up jewelry in a few days, if Second Master Xia was there, I would personally thank him.

After Jin and Ji finished talking, they came over and said to Zhen Xuan: "Sister Xuan is intimate, and I know that I like that palm screen, and I actually embroidered a pair with my own hands." ”

Yu Cong leaned over and grinned: "Cousin Xuan, you don't know what to do, my mother opened the box and looked at the screen, and knew that you embroidered it, and her eyes were red." ”

Jin turned his head and patted Yu Cong lightly on the back, and said angrily: "You are embarrassed to say, why didn't you think about embroidering something for me?" ”

Yu Cong smiled and hid behind Zhen Xuan: "I still don't show up my little bit of female red, and I'm embarrassed." ”

"I don't embroider well, don't work hard, see who wants you in the future!" Kim laughed out loud after speaking.

Ji also smiled on the side, although Zhen Xuan hadn't embroidered anything for her, but there was a painting hanging in her room, Zhen Xuan said it didn't look good every time she saw it, and she stopped her if she wanted to change it, and her daughter painted it herself, no matter how good.

On the seventh day of the first month, Yu Junyi came back, and talked with Master Ji in the house behind closed doors before coming out for almost an hour.

Ji and Jin were a little uneasy when they saw it, and even Mrs. Li asked a few words.

Master Ji was full of red light and explained: "The ancestors of the Ji family still have hundreds of acres of land in the north, and they have always grown cotton. The road is long, the cotton is tepid, and I haven't bothered much over the years, except for the annual personal accounting, the chief steward only comes once every three or five years. Xia Erye didn't know where he heard that we had cotton, so he said that he wanted to harvest it, not only a few hundred acres, but a thousand acres. ”

After hearing this, Mrs. Li didn't know the origin of the Xia family, so she asked again, and when she knew that Lu Dao was an imperial businessman, she frowned, looking thoughtful.

Master Ji was originally satisfied with this business, and the price given by Second Master Xia was higher than the market price, as long as the cotton quality was good, no matter how much it was, it would be collected. But now looking at Mrs. Li's appearance, Master Ji muttered in his heart, and asked cautiously, "Does the old lady think there is anything wrong?" ”

"In the business done by the royal merchants, the royal ones are the big ones. When he asked for so much cotton, he didn't just ask you to buy it, but he would also buy it from others. If you buy it, you have to sell it, how much can the people buy? I guess it's all going to be sold to the imperial court. ”

As soon as Mrs. Li's voice fell, before the others turned around, Master Ji had already understood, his face turned pale, and said: "The Xia family is doing the brocade cloth business of the imperial court, but it seems that they are not touched." ”

Old Madam Li snorted and shook her head disapprovingly: "A century-old imperial businessman, it is not a commodity, but the trust of the imperial court. Now there is no rumor at all, it can be seen that it is an extremely secret matter, and the emperor naturally wants to find the most trusted person to do it. The Xia family dares to buy from you, firstly, the Ji family is now Baiding, and secondly, I believe that you will not talk nonsense. After that, Mrs. Li glanced at all the people in the room and said coldly, "Those who are here now, whether they understand it or not, should not have heard it." Maybe we're too careful. ”

Zhen Xuan responded with everyone, but she couldn't help thinking about it in her heart, and slowly became transparent. Shocked, she looked up at Mrs. Li, and saw that she was staring at herself, Zhen Xuan hurriedly lowered her head again.

The Xia family has a large amount of cotton to harvest, and where can it be used to make cotton cloth alone, unless it is to make cotton clothes.

The ladies of the harem of the imperial city don't need so many cotton clothes, and there is only one explanation, that is, military supplies.

Although the Xia family has never been involved in the military business, this time they may not be forced to go to Liangshan by the imperial court, just because they have won the trust of the imperial court because they have won the trust of the imperial court for a hundred years.

The imperial court has not fought a war for a long time, and at this time it is secretly preparing military supplies, I am afraid that I want to fight with whom.

The atmosphere in the room was a lot heavier, Yu Jun hurriedly changed the topic, and said to Zhen Xuan: "The prince asked me to bring a message, the two young ladies of the Yan family will invite you and the second sister to come over tomorrow." ”

Before Zhen Xuan could speak, Yu Cong was energetic and said, "It's still the same as last year?" I'm looking forward to that. ”

This time, the Jin family did not go with them, and Yu Jun got into the carriage with them, saying that the prince had asked him to play chess together.

When the carriage arrived at the Yongliang Palace, someone led the way to both sides, Zhen Xuan and Yu Cong entered the Evening Feng Pavilion together, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw Mu En sitting at the table drinking tea.

When Mu En heard the sound, he turned his head elegantly, squinted his eyes and smiled: "Sister Xuan is willing to come and see us, tell me yourself, how many times have you been in the past year?" ”

Mu Yi took Yu Cong's hand, answered, and said: "No, Sister Cong only comes to Yongzhou once a year, we don't annoy her, it's Sister Xuan, obviously she lives in Yongzhou, and she doesn't remember to come over to play all year round." ”

When Zhen Xuan heard this, she looked at Mu En and Mu Yi, and knew that they were not really angry, so she was relieved.

A few steps forward, Fu bowed down and said: "It's my fault, I didn't expect to come over to say hello to the two sisters, the two sisters have a lot, spare me." ”

Mu En laughed, looked at Zhen Xuan and said, "It's okay to spare you, you can make today's tea." ”

Zhen Xuan nodded, Mu Yi still didn't follow, and chased after him: "This year's Flower Dynasty Festival, we are going to go out to play, you also come, call a few sisters in your family, there are many people, it will be lively." ”

Poria came up with the tea vessel, Zhen Xuan got up and wanted to clean her hands, but was stopped by Mu En, and said: "Drink the ones that were boiled before and replace them with new ones, these are all good teas, it's a pity not to drink it cold." ”

The four of them played for a while, Yu Cong was not good at this, frowned and meditated, and saw Mu Yi smile happily.

After playing for a while, there was a maid outside the door who passed the word, saying that Yan Mu'an and Yu Junzheng were coming to the Evening Feng Pavilion.

Zhen Xuan looked up at Mu En when he heard this, and Mu En also looked completely ignorant, and shook his head half-loudly: "Second brother is really lucky, I know that there is tea to drink today." (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
