After a while, Sister Ge Qiu struggled to pull the cart and walked away, and Li Zhengping tried to catch up several times, but finally stopped. After all, he knew Sister Ge Qiu's temperament, and knew that if he stepped forward at this time, according to Sister Ge Qiu's temperament, he would not be able to stand it, so he didn't step forward after all, just watched from afar.

"Brother Zhengping, go back." Zhenniang said to Li Zhengping.

"Hmm." Li Zhengping nodded.

Then the two returned to the house, and Zhenniang told Li Zhengping about the things that Ergou had inquired about.

Since Ge Dana's death, Sister Ge Qiu has disappeared, and Zhenniang thought at first that Sister Ge Qiu had voted for relatives, after all, there are many relatives in the Ge family. However, Ge Dana's parents died when he was a child, and he was not less looked down upon by those relatives when he was a child, and he was not a good person, so after he made his fortune, he only cared about the ordinary brothers who followed him, and he didn't help his relatives, so Sister Ge Qiu Zuihou had nowhere to vote.

Ergou inquired for a long time, but Zuihou still heard from a guard in the yamen that Sister Ge Qiu was the old bearded head who went to Zuihou.

In a person's life, there are always a few times when he or she gives kindness to others, intentionally or unintentionally, and is remembered forever. And Gettana had such a time, it was this old beard.

This old beard was originally an old man on the outskirts of the city, and his family also had a few acres of thin fields, two sons, although it was not the top filial piety, but it was also considered to know the cold and the hot. Lao Hutou's eldest son took his family back to his daughter-in-law's house to pay New Year's greetings. I didn't think it was just in time for the White Lotus uprising. In the riot where all three members of the family died, Lao Hu Tou sold his family's land to collect the corpse.

Soon after, the Huaiqin River flooded, Lao Hutou's second son was called to repair the embankment, and was swept away by the flood. insisted on selling a few houses in the family to smelt the injuries of the youngest son, but in the end he did not save the youngest son's life, and the old beard was nowhere to be found after burying the youngest son.

At that time, it was Ge Dana who was in charge of this section of the embankment, and the experience of the old beard for many years also made people feel a handful of sympathetic tears, and Ge Dana also had a little sympathy, seeing that the old beard was not found, and it happened that he was looking for a coolie in the yamen. Doing the work of collecting night incense, although this work is hard. But no matter how you say it, you also have a place to rest, and you have something to eat, which is also a long-term plan. So he introduced the old beard.

The old beard was grateful. It's just that Gettana didn't take it to heart, and even forgot about it after a few months. But the old beard has never forgotten, because of a stinky old man who collects night incense in the past, coupled with Ge Dana's scenery, the old beard has not joined in the fun.

And this time Ge Dana suffered and died in prison, where would the Cao family take care of Ge Dana's corpse, Zuihou was still the corpse that the old beard took out of the yamen, and in addition, he gave Ge Dana a thin coffin that he had managed to scrape together money to beat in the past few years.

It was at this time that Sister Ge Qiu knew about the old beard, and the two buried Ge Dana, and the old beard saw that Sister Ge Qiu was not tolerated by the Cao family, and she was a woman who was separated from her, so she asked a yatou in the yamen to be a witness, set up a document, and accepted Sister Ge Qiu as her granddaughter.

The grandfather and grandson depended on each other, so Sister Ge Qiu got up early every day to help the old beard collect the night incense.

That's why Li Zhengping saw a scene this morning.

After listening to what Zhenniang said, Li Zhengping stood up and saluted Zhenniang with a straight face: "Thank you cousin for worrying about me." ”

Li Zhengping knew that if it weren't for his relationship, with the Ge family's intention to fight the Li family's ancestral property, it would be good that Zhenniang didn't hate Sister Ge Qiu, and there was no need to pay attention to Sister Ge Qiu.

"Brother Zhengping is too polite, family, don't be so polite." Li Zhenniang said, in fact, she was a little curious, and she didn't know what Li Zhengping would do next. I thought about it again, whether Brother Zhengping would get back together with Sister Ge Qiu, but according to Aunt Jingming's temper, I was afraid that it would be a little difficult.

However, thinking that this matter is still far away after all, and she is an unmarried girl, these things are not easy to inquire about: so he asked the question: "Then Brother Zhengping will go back before he came to Nanjing this time?" ”

"Don't go back, the seventh grandmother told me that you were going back to Huizhou for the New Year a year ago, and even the steward Zheng was also going back, so I stayed in Mozhuang and watched and took care of it." Li Zhengping said.

"Then it will be troublesome Brother Zhengping." Hearing Li Zhengping say this, Zhen Niang said, a few years ago, she, the second aunt, Zheng Fuli, as well as Master Ma, Sister-in-law Ma, etc., were all going back to Huizhou, and here in Nanjing, she was worried, no one from the Li family could take care of it, after all, during the New Year's Festival, some etiquette relations always have to go, and it would be better for Brother Zhengping to stay in Mozhuang.

What's more, he is familiar with Nanjing, and some of the contacts during this New Year's Festival can make people feel a lot more at ease.

"My cousin just said that it was a family, so why are you polite to your cousin? What's more, my surname is also Li, as the ancestral training said, the Li family can rely on Li Mo to eat, but the Li family must also do their best for Li Mo's development. Li Zhengping said.

Speaking of which, this cousin also really made him eye-catching, I thought that Li Mo was going to gain a firm foothold in Nanjing again, and he didn't have to think about it for a year or two to do things in a down-to-earth manner, but he didn't think about it, this is only half a year of hard work, Li Mo has been walking in Nanjing, especially when he first arrived, I heard that this cousin has become the ink-making worship of the princess's mansion.

In this way, my cousin's achievements are better than the blue, and they have surpassed the eight uncles of the year.

It's really unthinkable, so, it also shows the vision and courage of the seventh grandmother, Zhen Niang is a daughter's family at this age, no matter which family she changes, she doesn't dare to reuse Zhen Niang like the seventh grandmother.

Don't say anything else, let's talk about the Tian family, this time the matter of the Tian family, he also heard that the third girl of the Tian family, Tian Ronghua, is not known how many times stronger than his second brother, but the Tian family would rather use Tian Er, but they are unwilling to give Tian Ronghua the identity of a steward, just let Tian Ronghua help her second brother behind the scenes, but that is not justified after all, and where can Tian Ronghua command Tian Er. In the end, the Tian family was in a passive situation.

All of this is because Master Tian doesn't know how to use people. Don't dare to employ people.

In a word. Li Zhengping was quite touched in his heart.

Hearing Li Zhengping say this, Zhenniang smiled.

And for the next period of time, Li Zhengping was familiar with the foreign affairs of Mozhuang on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is said that he didn't know when he got into a relationship with Lao Hutou, and the two often drank a little wine together, as for whether Li Zhengping had seen Sister Ge Qiu, Li Zhengping didn't say, Zhenniang and others didn't ask.

It's winter in the blink of an eye.

And Zhenniang has been busy during this time. In addition, because of the reason of the birth ink, coupled with the gift ink of the New Year's Festival, the business of the ink village is completely opened, and there are some custom inks, including medicine ink, etc., and the order date has been scheduled to the year after the year.

All in all. The people in Mozhuang are also busy and their feet don't stick to the ground, that is, the second aunt. also shouted that he was a little unbearable, after all, the carved plates of the birth ink are extremely exquisite, and several apprentices are still far from being on the stage.

"Next year, I'll have to get two people from my mother's house." In the evening, after eating, Huang rubbed his eyes and leaned on the bed on the side, holding a hand stove, chatting with Zhenniang.

"That couldn't have been better." Zhen Niang said with a smile on the side, the Huang family is a family of carvings, and now the brothers of the second aunt are all famous carvers, and those who will not make a move easily are the children trained by the Huang family, which are also sought-after and very popular in the carving world.

"By the way, it's already November, and the ferry tickets can be booked, there are many people on the side of the New Year, so you have to book them early, be careful that you can't book the tickets." Huang asked Zhen Niang again.

"I've already booked it, and the boat on the fifth day of December can arrive before the New Year." Zhenniang said happily, after staying in Nanjing for so long, she was really homesick.

And this early booking of the ferry ticket is still reminded by Brother Zhengping, don't think that only the future generations will have Spring Festival, this era also has ah, especially in Huizhou, many people are doing business outside, and some do not go home for a few years, but most of them, a little closer, can go back this New Year's Festival as much as possible.

Therefore, the ship on the side of the year is particularly difficult to determine, and she can be regarded as having a relationship with the Huizhou merchant gang, otherwise, even if it is a month in advance, it may not be determined.

"Well, that's good." Huang nodded.

In this way, as the New Year approaches, it is time to send red envelopes, pack up, and prepare gifts that should be bought.

I received a letter from my eldest brother last month, my sister-in-law gave birth, or gave birth to a boy, in addition to Li Dalang, who wanted to be a daughter, was a little disappointed, the old couple of the Li family, the Zhao family, and the seventh grandmother were very happy.

So, inevitably, Zhen Niang went to the silver store to make a complete set of children's silver locks, including bracelets, etc., and then had to give grandmother, mother, uncle Zheng, and sister-in-law, in addition to other rooms to buy some clothes, Nanjing here in the clothes are colorful, attracting people.

The night before, I calculated the fabric to buy, and the next day, Zhen Niang took the list and entered the Yaojia cloth village next door.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Cao's family, dressed in a red jacket with silver edges, brown armor, but dressed as a serious wife, while Yao Niangzi and two guys were pulling material for her. It turned out to be a piece of azure satin, which is a good material, and the azure color is quite pure, in the words of later generations, it is high-end atmosphere.

The other piece is blue cloud silk, which is also the top haode material, which is basically more popular among some wives in Nanjing.

The Yao lady cut the material, wrapped it while the guy, and handed it to the Cao family.

"Thank you, then I'll go first, and let my master settle the money with you." As Cao said, he hugged the material and took the girl out of the store, seeing that Zhenniang just picked the corners of her mouth, as if she was smiling.

Zhen Niang was used to being indifferent, but at this moment, when Yao Niangzi saw Cao going out, she immediately took a few steps forward, walked to the door, and looked out again, until Cao couldn't see anyone, Yao Niangzi stomped her foot heavily, and then snorted hatefully: "Return my master...... What a shameless thing, your old man's bones are not cold...... Let's take the material and make a corpse skin and go down there to accompany your master. ”

Yao Niangzi's words were extremely vicious.

Zhenniang blinked to the side, what is the situation?

"Really, I don't pay every time I buy cloth, just wait for the yellow wolf to collect taxes, and the owner has to say forget it, it's not no, I'm afraid that the yellow wolf will make a bad tax on it." A guy on the side snorted and explained half-angrily. It's not good for the lady of the owner to scold people like this, explain a sentence, so as not to misunderstand.

Zhenniang nodded slightly, Ge Da took out the matter, and all the property in the family was seized, but Zuihou, the house at the corner of the street was in the hands of the yellow wolf, and even the Cao family and the yellow wolf also received it.

In this regard, in the area of Guanjie, I don't know how many rumors have been spread, but the yellow wolf and the Cao family are already embarrassed, plus the matter of Ge Dana, it was planned by the two of them, although the gossip is not good now, but the yellow wolf wants to dump the Cao family, so the two of them simply don't care about these gossips, so, gradually, they are not interested in what they say.

It's just that this Cao family, every time he takes advantage of the yellow wolf to do the errand of patrolling the fence, he is greedy and cheap, and he buys things on credit in this part of the official street, only waiting for the yellow wolf to pay, and the yellow wolf will generally appear when collecting taxes, so that the owners of each family in order to save worry even if they are not exempt from those credits, they are at most symbolic to collect a little, therefore, although everyone is polite on the surface, in fact, they hate to bite, and the words behind it are naturally not good.

Now, it is obvious that the Cao family wants to be greedy for Yao Niangzi's two pieces of material, Yao Niangzi is usually a money and a life, not to mention, this time Cao took the most haode material in the two pieces of cloth, or let Yao Dong's house invite someone to eat and drink before taking the goods, so, how can Yao Niangzi not hate to bite, it is not strange to scold people like this.

Here Yao Niangzi was puzzled, and said: "Don't be too complacent, doing such a thing, after all, it is a betrayal of human life, there is retribution, not not not retribution, the time has not come, if I am Sister Ge Qiu, I will burn the house with fire, and it is best to burn this pair of dog men and women to death." ”

"Okay, can this kind of thing be put on the lips? Sister Ge Qiu's whereabouts are unknown now. On the side, the shopkeeper Yao glared at his wife.

Yao Niangzi stopped talking at this time, and was busy greeting Zhen Niang, Zhen Niang gave Yao Niangzi the list of haode written before, and the material or something is to look at haode on weekdays, just cut according to the list.

And Zhen Niang secretly raised her eyebrows at this time, according to Ergou, Sister Ge Qiu has been helping Lao Hu Tou to collect night incense for some time, but these days, no one in this area knows that it is Sister Ge Qiu who comes to collect night incense every morning, which has its own reason why the big guy doesn't pay attention to it, in fact, there must be a reason why Sister Ge Qiu deliberately dodge, of course, she has been in a state of despair from the delicate girl that day to the current downfall, and it is reasonable to hide from her acquaintances in the past.

But suddenly, Zhenniang had a feeling that Sister Ge Qiu would have something else to ask for.

You must know that Ge Dana was killed by the Cao family and the yellow wolf, everyone knows this, and Sister Ge Qiu is not the kind of person who can hold back. But since the accident, Sister Ge Qiu has not been seen messing with the Cao family, which is unreasonable.
