When the old shopkeeper Li, Zhao, and Li Zhenniang arrived in Huizhou, it was the end of November, and Luo Wenqian went to Shizhou for a trip, and Qian Zhuang had accumulated a lot of things to solve, so he had to come back later.

And with Zhen Niang, they came back with Luo Ping'an and Ping'an's sister-in-law. Luo Ping'an and his wife came back earlier to inform the third uncle of the Luo family and help Luo Wenqian prepare for the New Year's Festival, and when Luo Wenqian arrived, he could give gifts to the Li family according to the rules.

This kind of annual ritual is generally given by the son-in-law to the Yue family, and it is counted from the time of the engagement, which is just an ordinary etiquette, and it is nothing, just because this time the Li Luo family is engaged in Nanjing, and there is also some taste of urgency at that time, that is, it is simply handled.

And Huizhou has always been courteous, so simple, it will inevitably make people feel that the Luo family despises the Li family. Therefore, when he was in Nanjing, Luo Wenqian told Li Jingfu that this New Year's gift would be heavier, and the scene would be bigger, and then the third uncle of the Luo family would also come forward, and then the relatives of the Li family would also be called, which could be regarded as another formality.

For Luo Wenqian's proposal, the Li family will not refuse, after all, this is good for Zhenniang, not to mention the reputation of Zhenniang Kefu, after all, she was withdrawn from her family, the previous engagement procedure was too simple, or the seventh grandmother of the Li family took the initiative to go to Nanjing, it is inevitable that people will mumble, then when Zhenniang marries into the Luo family, she will be looked down upon, therefore, Luo Wenqian's proposal is exactly in line with the heart of the Li family.

So it's decided.

At this time, the Li family and his party got off the boat at Yuliang Wharf, and the sky began to drift with broken snow.

"Sister Ping'an. It's snowing. Why don't you stay in the city today and wait until the snow stops before you go back to the village. Zhenniang stood on the dock and looked at the gray sky of the road. Looking at this day, it seems that it is going to snow heavily.

"No, I think it's going to snow heavily this day, and it's only seven or eight miles from here to our Luo Village, so call a car before the snow falls, and it will be there in a while." Luo Ping'an on the side said.

"Well, yes. I also saw that it was going to snow heavily. It's good to go back early, but it saves Zuihou blocking the road, but it's not good for you to call a car in this weather, so our Mofang car came to pick us up, you go to the city gate with us, and then let the big cow send you to Luo Village. "The old shopkeeper Li on the side said.

The big cow was sent by Li Jiamofang to pick up the old shopkeeper Li and his party.

"Well, Cheng, listen to the old man." Sister-in-law Ping'an is used to dealing with the Li family, and she is very familiar. He nodded unceremoniously.

So a group of people got into the carriage, and Luo Ping'an sat in the front of the carriage and sat with the big cow. All the way to the gates of the city.

And passing by Luojia Luo Mengzhen's chaste archway, Zhen Niang found that when I went to Nanjing to see the ruined archway, it had collapsed at this time, and a few big stones were gone.

The matter of the ugly woman, after drinking that day, the Li family told Luo Wenqian, Luo Wenqian recognized the ugly woman, and he was also quite excited, but the ugly woman was used to living in the Li family, and although her affairs were not too bullying, there was no need to publicize it, so she still had to be careful.

Therefore, in the end, the ugly woman still stayed in the Li family, and in private, the Zhao family told Zhenniang that when Zhenfa Niang married Luo Wenqian, when the time came, the ugly woman would go back to the Luo family with her.

And sure enough, when the carriage arrived at the gate of the city, the snow was blowing up, and Zuihou was fluttering with goose feathers.

"Wow, that's cool under the snow." Sitting by the car door, Ping'an Sister-in-law said, it is rare to see such heavy snow in Huizhou.

"Ruixue Zhaofeng year." Mr. Li's shopkeeper is also excited. Then several members of the Li family got out of the carriage.

"With such a heavy snowfall, let's call another carriage, there is still a way from the gate of this city to the Li family's mansion." Luo Ping'an said.

"This snow is so heavy that where can I call a taxi? Even if you have a car, you are afraid and don't want to go, afraid that you won't be able to come back. "Old Li shopkeeper said, and then said: It's okay, let's walk from the alley of Chengmen Cave, there are not many open-air places in this alley, and out of the alley, it is not too far to go over."

The old shopkeeper Li said and told the big cow who drove the car: "When you arrive at Luo Village, if the snow is still heavy, let him stay in Luo Village first, and then come back when the snow stops and leaves." ”

"yes, I see." The big cow should respond.

Seeing that the old shopkeeper Li said this, Luo Ping'an didn't say anything more, sat in the carriage and waved goodbye from the Li family, and then sat with the big cow, Luo Ping'an was also driving, just changing the big cow.

And the Li family took a few men and saluted and entered the Chengmen Cave Alley.

"The old shopkeeper is back?" The alley was full of acquaintances, and they all greeted the Li family when they saw it.

"I'm back, isn't it almost the New Year." The old shopkeeper Li also replied with a smile.

Then go all the way to say hello.

After a while, I arrived in front of the tiger stove of Shuibo, the door of the tiger stove was covered with water mist as before, and it was all water vapor, especially on this snowy day, the tiger stove was boiling hot water all day long, and a group of people gathered here to keep warm.

At this time, Shui Bo was still hunched over to add hot water to everyone. When he saw the Li family and his entourage coming, he also greeted: "The old shopkeeper, Jingfu's daughter-in-law, Zhenniang...... It's time to go home for the New Year, why didn't King Fook get together? ”

"Shui Bo is good, can his body be tough? There are still some things in Nanjing, and my father is one step later for us to come back. Zhen Niang stepped forward and said, and then took out some gifts she brought, tonic pine nut cake or something, and gave some candy and melon seeds to the mouth of the person sitting there.

"That's candy, isn't it? Zhenniang, I heard that you married Luo Wenqian of the Luo family in Nanjing? Is this true, we all listen to the rumors, but we don't know whether it's true or not? However, the girl of the Tian family and the Xu family made a marriage, and the scene was magnificent, and even the county parents arrived. The Tian family also specially painted the door of the house in vermilion. Aunt Ma on the side said.

It's just that the tone is not very sincere, and it seems to be watching a good show.

The Zhao family on the side was about to stare at her, when she lived in this area, she had a few quarrels with this Aunt Ma, and now she naturally understood that this Aunt Ma was laughing at her daughter's shabby engagement.

Zhen Niang knew her mother's temper, so she took the first step and smiled: "Aunt Ma said this." Which one can be compared with Miss Tian. The Xu family is the head of the Prime Minister's House. It's normal for ordinary people to have a bigger scene. If we ordinary people make a big scene, then we won't let people say that we are losers, and we won't be able to live. ”

On the other hand, the shopkeeper Li listened to Zhen Niang's words and nodded, this girl has been trained in the end, not only to do business, but also to be the shortest of such parents. I can also say it smoothly with a fight. It's hard to catch a little mistake.

"That's right, yesterday, the daughter-in-law at the corner of the street made a four-person sedan chair, and you were still saying that people love to live and won't live." Sister-in-law Huaide on the side also said to Aunt Ma.

As soon as Aunt Ma turned over the words and told Sister-in-law Huaide that she was leaking, she looked stupid.

"It's snowing heavily, Uncle Shui, Aunt Ma, Sister-in-law Huaide. Let's go home first, and go to my house when we have time. Zhen Niang looked at the glimmer of heaven in front of her. The snow was still buzzing down, and the sky, which had been a little brighter because of the snow, still seemed to be pressing.

"Okay, walk slowly, come and sit when you have time." Shui Bo smiled and nodded. Then the Li family and his party walked away.

And as the Li family and his party walked away, the tiger stove of Shuibo became more lively.

"I heard that the Xu family fell in love with Zhen Niang first, but the Li family was unwilling, and Zuihou cheapened Miss Tian." The daughter-in-law of the people who came to fetch hot water stepped forward.

"Impossible, if someone like the Xu family really takes a fancy to the Li family, can the Li family be willing? I think it's because Zhen Niang doesn't want to lose face, so she insists on spreading it like this. Aunt Ma on the side sneered.

"Sister of the Ma family, I don't listen to what you say, Zhenniang's girl is very sincere, how can she be the one who will let people spread such words." Shui Bo on the side was unhappy and glared at Aunt Ma and said.

"Okay, Brother Shui doesn't want to be right, then I won't say it, isn't it just that Zhenniang brings you good things every time she comes back, and you are bought when you are old?" Aunt Ma snorted.

"I'm telling you the truth, you ask everyone, Zhen Niang used to be a little greedy, but since then, everyone has seen what kind of behavior in their eyes and knows what they do." Shui Bo has some unrelenting ways.

"Oh, don't worry about this, anyway, Miss Tian has decided on the Xu family, and Zhenniang has also married Luo Wenqian, and there is nothing to fight for, but next year's Gongmo, I heard that the Cheng family withdrew from the election, then the Li family and the Tian family are close to each other, I'm afraid I will fight to the death." On the side, a hot man waved his hand. He doesn't like to listen to his parents' shortcomings, but Gongmo's election campaign is a big drama.

"What's the point of contention, don't look at the Tian family who has just been robbed of Gongmo, but the Cheng family is not very good, otherwise why would you withdraw from next year's Gongmo campaign, I see, with the Xu family behind it, next year's Gongmo is still the Tian family." Aunt Ma said again.

Huimo has been integrated into the bone marrow of every Huizhou person, therefore, each Gongmo election is also a major event in Huizhou, from Fuzheng County to the peddlers and pawns, all have their own views.

"That's not necessarily, the Zhenniang is still the worship of the princess's mansion, the princess's mansion is against the old mansion of the upper pavilion, just offset, to zuihou you still have to fight jishu, I think the jishu of the Tian family can't fight the Li family, not to mention the Li family, back then, if it wasn't for the immortal broken ink, the tribute ink would have already fallen into the pocket of the Cheng family, how could it be the turn of the Tian family." Sister-in-law Huaide on the side also said.

"What's wrong with the Princess's Mansion, Zhen Niang is just an ink-making messenger in the Princess's Mansion, Tian Ronghua, that is the daughter-in-law of the Xu family, can the Princess's Mansion contribute as much as the Xu family? We'll see. Aunt Ma said with an iron-mouthed and decisive expression.

"This tribute to ink and ink is based on ink skills, what does it have to do with everyone's identity? Besides, when the time comes, who will win in the end is not something that the Mo Secretary and the Xu family can say, and they must not invite the ink testers. At this time, Shui Bo on the side said angrily. There is no reason to fight for these.

At this moment, I heard another loud sound, and I don't know which firewood shed fell.

Shui Bo looked at the sky again, it was still snowing heavily, and he was impatient that these people were gossiping here, so he waved his hand: "It's a heavy snowfall, don't grind here, go home and see, such a big snow, maybe the firewood shed or something will collapse." ”

And they all dispersed.
