Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the year has passed, and the time has come to the fifteenth day of the first month of the twenty-second year of Yongzhi.

Today is the Lantern Festival, but the Guangde Baihu Office is not closed like other yamen, but continues to exercise its own functions.

Of course, Chen Xiaoting will also consider the rest of his subordinates, so from the first day of junior high school to the present, only one-third of the people in the hundred households are on duty every day.

In fact, this model has actually increased everyone's burden compared to before Chen Xiaoting became a hundred households.

After all, in the past, from the first day of the first month to the fifteenth day of the first month, the hundred households basically did not do anything in this half month.

However, Chen Xiaoting himself is in the Baihu Office, so that others can't gossip, after all, the official university has already set an example.

Today is the Shangyuan Festival, but Chen Xiaoting did not leave the yamen until the afternoon, and from tomorrow the hundred households will resume normal duties.

When he returned home, Chen Xiaoting saw a girl flying out of the yard, and looked at his sister Xiaoyu.

And Chen Xiaoting also stopped and said to Chen Xiaoting: "Big brother, you are back!" ”

Chen Xiaoting nodded and asked, "Let's eat Lantern Festival together tonight, where are you going?" ”

Chen Xiaoyu blushed for a while when she asked this, and only listened to her: "Big brother has forgotten, there is a lantern festival at Qiyuan Bridge tonight, and the sister of the Zhao family asked me to go with her to see it!"

"Oh......" Chen Xiaoting replied meaningfully.

"Pay attention to safety in the big night, come back early!" Chen Xiaoting admonished, just like an old father.

After Chen Xiaoyu answered casually, he left with great interest, which also made Chen Xiaoting feel the vitality of the young man.

Looking at her distant back, Chen Xiaoting couldn't help but think of today, six years ago, and that day was also the Shangyuan Festival.

At that time, he also met a woman who he thought could be together for the rest of his life, but now he ......

At this time, Shen Yi's voice came from behind Chen Xiaoting: "Master, come in quickly, everyone is waiting for you!" ”

Chen Xiaoting woke up from his memories at this time, and in order not to let his wife see what he was thinking, he changed the topic and said: "Xiaoyu just went out, I wonder if I should send some people to protect him secretly!"

Hearing this, Shen Yi couldn't help but smile, and then said, "After this year, Xiaoyu is eighteen, and you still treat her as a child?" ”

Chen Xiaoting walked to his wife's side and said, "That's what I said, an eighteen-year-old girl!" ”

This is not a joke, in this era of common fifteen or sixteen years old, eighteen years old is really an old girl.

But this sentence reminded Chen Xiaoting of Xu Youhui, she is now twenty-one years old but she is not married, and it is clear who she is waiting for.

"Let's go, let's go in and eat Lantern Festival!" Chen Xiaoting said with a smile on his face.

Although she felt that her husband's expression was different, Shen Yi was a smart woman, and she could tell whether to ask or not.

After entering the main hall, I saw that the whole family was sitting together, including Chen Xiaolin and his family.

Seeing the eldest son coming back, the second lady on the throne instructed the maidservant: "Serve the food!" ”

After the two sons took turns to enjoy the blessings here, Gao Erniang has become accustomed to this kind of rich life, which makes it more and more natural to arouse people.

Poor families only eat Lantern Festival, but rich and noble families are different, and there will be no shortage of dishes on it.

Soon a table was full, and Chen Dayong, as an elder, finally announced: "Let's eat!" ”

The family moved at this time, but the old couple didn't eat much, but held the eldest grandson in front of them, vividly showing what it means to be doting.

Because it was a holiday, Shen Yi did not interfere, but teased Chen Juan with Zheng Xuan'er.

"Xiaolin, how are the shops and manors lately?" Chen Xiaoting asked casually.

At the moment, he can only chat with Chen Xiaolin for a few words, and the things he can talk about are also very limited.

Next, Chen Xiaolin described the industrial situation of his family, and Chen Xiaoting was very satisfied with it, the Chen family's current business situation is very good, and Chen Xiaolin is talented in this regard.

Hearing the eldest brother praise himself like this, Chen Xiaolin didn't dare to take credit, but only listened to him: "Big brother, don't praise me, I can do business so smoothly, it's not because of you!" ”

"Now the shopkeepers of the major shops in the city shout 'Second Master' when they see me, they don't give me face, but they are polite to me for the sake of your face!"

Chen Xiaolin could see these things clearly, which made Chen Xiaoting very pleased, but he said: "Okay, don't be presumptuous, your talent is still good!" ”

Originally, I wanted to say a few words, but Gao Erniang said at this time: "Xiaoting, the money can't be earned, but it's your sister's marriage...... You two brothers should worry about it! ”

The two brothers couldn't help but be stunned, but they didn't know how to answer for a while.

But Shen Yi said at this time: "Mother, don't worry, isn't Xiaoyu still worried about getting married?" Presumably because her vision is too high, it is difficult for ordinary men to enter her eyes! ”

Regarding the question of whether her daughter is worried about getting married, Gao Erniang is now becoming less and less confident.

But after listening to Shen Yi's words, Gao Erniang felt better in her heart, how could her daughter be worried about marrying under such conditions?

"It's better to listen to Yi'er!" Gao Erniang said with a smile.

In fact, now Gao Erniang has two and a half daughters-in-law (Zheng Xuan'er is the half), but what she really likes the most is Shen Yi.

Although she is a beautiful lady, she has a lot of respect for her, an ordinary wife, which is very commendable.

At this time, Chen Xiaolin spoke: "Mother, I have made a lot of friends, and there are many young talents, or ...... Tell Xiaoyu about a family business? ”

At this time, Gao Erniang did say: "What if Xiaoyu doesn't agree?" ”

This question seems ridiculous to outsiders, how can parents disagree with their children's orders, but this is the Chen family.

It's just that Chen Dayong and Gao Erniang are very fond of their youngest daughter, otherwise they would have married off a long time ago.

At this time, Chen Xiaolin didn't care and said, "As long as your father and mother agree, what else can Xiaoyu say?" ”

Just as he was saying this, he was pulled by Wang Yuyan next to him, and then he saw the eldest brother who did not speak.

Just now he spoke hard, and he was angry in front of his parents, but he forgot that his eldest brother hadn't spoken yet.

So Chen Xiaolin asked, "What does the eldest brother think?" ”

Chen Xiaoting picked up a lantern festival and put it in his mouth, and then said: "I think, it depends on Xiaoyu's meaning!" ”

This was a set tone, and it also conformed to Chen Dayong's wishes, so the topic ended.

Just as the family continued to chat, Liu Anxiang, who was on duty in the hundred households today, walked quickly outside Chen Xiaoting's mansion.

After reporting and meeting Chen Xiaoting, Liu Anxiang said: "My lord, people from thousands of households, you have to hurry over!" ”

Today is the Shangyuan Festival, at this time, the people from thousands of households came, could it be that the old father-in-law has some emergency instructions?

He couldn't guess, so Chen Xiaoting could only say goodbye to his family, and then quickly rushed to the hundred households.
