Ning Xiu was overjoyed in his heart.

Du Gongshu is really reliable, he thought he would have to bargain with him, who would have thought that people would agree directly.

The prefect's order is really good, even if the officials below want to benefit, they will not make it difficult.

However, Ning Xiu is not an ancient eater. Since Du Gongshu is so cooperative, there is no reason why he should not take a look.

In the future, he will inevitably deal with Du Gongshu, and it is not good to rely on the prefect's orders to suppress people without getting along well.

It must be known that Hades is easy to provoke, and the little ghosts are difficult. really offended these specific people, and some of them suffered hardship.

Ning Xiu took out twenty taels of silver from his coat and handed it to Du Gongshu and said with a smile: "This is a little bit of Ning Mou's heart, Du Gongshu took it to buy some wine and food for the scribes." ”

"Aha, Ning Gongzi is too polite."

Although Du Gongshu said so, he put away the silver at a fast speed.

"It's really a blessing for Du to be lucky enough to know Ning Gongzi."

Many people are not to blame, Ning Xiu also arched his hand and said: "The New Year is coming soon, and it is useless for Ning to buy sand, so he will wait until the New Year to buy sand, how about Du Gong's book?" ”

"Haha, it's exactly what I want, it's exactly what I want."

Du Gongshu stroked his beard and smiled, not to mention how happy he was.

"To tell you the truth, today is the last day of the Yamen's office, and most of the officials in the warehouse have gone home early."

Ning Xiu could hear that waterfall sweat. The officials did not dare to take a holiday in advance, but these officials had no scruples.

"In that case, let's make up our minds. As soon as the New Year is over, Ning Mou will come to bother Du Gongshu again. ”

"Look at what Ning Gongzi said, when Du Mou welcomes Ning Gongzi at the Yamen."

Just by looking at his face, Du Gongshu knew that Ning Xiu was not an idle person, and he was able to talk to Fuzun, so he naturally had to make good friends. Maybe he will soar and become a celebrity in the eyes of Fuzun?

.......

In the sound of firecrackers, the spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu.

Thousands of households always replace the new peach with the old one.

Lighting firecrackers, drinking Tu Su, and sticking peach charms, the atmosphere of the Spring Festival is always so intoxicating.

Ning Xiu couldn't remember how many glasses of wine he drank on Chinese New Year's Eve, and the whole family sat around a table and shared the joy of family. That feeling of warmth is not something that can be replaced.

Family affection, the most precious thing in the world, is vividly reflected at this moment of the Spring Festival.

After Chinese New Year's Eve, it is the first day of the new year, which is the seventh year of Wanli.

Ning Xiu only felt a little stunned, has it been a year since he came to Daming?

Too much has happened in the past year, and he has relied on his own efforts to turn a destitute family into a rich family with thousands of wealth. Among them, the hardships and sorrows are not enough for outsiders.

He has also made a lot of good friends, and he is the kind of confidant who can really make friends.

As for the relatives, it doesn't seem to be as dirty as he imagined, although the third and fourth rooms also have their own small abacus, but they can still get along with each other in general.

Even if his eyes are above the top, he has always looked down on the other three-bedroom big houses, but he just keeps them cold and doesn't do anything out of the ordinary.

This already made Ning Xiu very pleased. Imagine if you are a relative who is mean and calculating everywhere as soon as you cross over, and you are busy fighting at home all day long, where will you have time to make finger cakes, open restaurants, make cement, and soap?

God treats him well.

In the early morning of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the wind gusted.

Ning Xiu walked alone on the street, listening to the sound of firecrackers, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The New Year is always pleasant. No matter how many troubles there are, they will be forgotten at this moment.

The New Year will have a New Year's appearance, no matter how poor the family is, they will have a good meal, not to mention the Ning family, who has been lifted out of poverty and become rich?

Ning Xiu went to the street this time to buy gifts for his family.

Dad, Mother, Shichilang, and Shiro are all indispensable.

First of all, he had to go to the rouge shop to buy some rouge for his mother. Although her mother always said that she didn't like to apply grease and powder, Ning Xiu didn't believe it. How can a woman not love beauty? My mother said that because her family was poor in the past and couldn't afford to buy rouge gouache.

Although the family situation is better now, the habits that have been cultivated over the years are not so easy to change.

The mother is diligent and thrifty, and she is reluctant to spend this money. He, as a son, naturally has to do it for him.

Ning Xiu didn't believe that he put the set of rouge gouache he bought in front of his mother, and his mother could still throw them away?

The best rouge shop in Gangneung Castle is the Huisheng Hall.

Although it is only the fifth day of the new year, Wishodo has already resumed business.

Ning Xiu couldn't help but feel a sinking in his heart when he saw the long queue in front of Huisheng Hall, this business was really hot. Well, since you're here, let's wait.

Ning Xiu lined up on his own, and accidentally caught a glimpse of a woman kneeling in front of a mansion next to the Huisheng Hall.

The woman was in her twenties, dressed in cotton clothes and looked bloated.

Ning Xiu couldn't help but be a little curious, what was this woman kneeling in front of the mansion for the New Year?

At this moment, the door suddenly opened, and a man in a Confucian robe in his fifties walked out and waved at the woman and scolded: "I said don't come, what is the situation in your family, don't you have any points in your heart?" If you can't afford to pay the restraints and still come to harass the old man, don't you feel ashamed. ”

With that, he walked into the courtyard and slammed the door slammed.

Ning Xiu couldn't help frowning.

He said that this man looked familiar, and it turned out to be Mr. Zhao who was studying in a private school for Shiro.

Ning Xiu had met Mr. Zhao when he gave him a bundle, and he was somewhat impressed.

The woman seemed to be unable to afford the restraints, and wanted Mr. Zhao to teach her children.

Hey, it's a poor family again.

If it was a normal time, it would be fine, but now it is the New Year. A woman knelt in front of the house during the Chinese New Year, but it was okay for Mr. Zhao to turn a blind eye.

But after all, it is a woman who cannot afford to pay the restraints, and it is reasonable for Mr. Zhao not to accept the woman's children. You can't stand in the position of the virgin in everything, and ask others according to moral standards.

However, this woman is indeed too pitiful, Ning Xiu couldn't stand it and walked over and said, "You are kneeling here for the New Year, and Mr. Zhao doesn't look good on his face." If you really want Mr. Zhao to accept your child, get up first. If this continues, Mr. Zhao will not teach him even more. ”

The woman raised her head when she heard the sound and looked at Ning Xiu with four eyes.

It didn't matter if he looked at it, but Ning Xiu's heart sank.

This woman's appearance is very good, with willow eyebrows and moon eyes, pink face and red lips. Although she can't see her figure wrapped in cotton clothes, she must not be far behind.

How could such a beauty be so miserable that she couldn't even afford the shackles of her children?

"Does this boy know Mr. Zhao? Please also help the slave family say one or two, the child of the slave family is six years old but has not yet been enlightened, and he can't afford to delay. ”
