Alone in a foreign land as a stranger, every festival is full of relatives.

When the time was approaching, Lu Jin's heart became a little chaotic, and he began to miss his parents and other relatives and friends.

The Chinese nation has always attached great importance to feelings and even more to reunion. That's why there will be the Spring Festival in the future, when that period of time comes, no matter where you are, how far away from home, the wanderer will do everything you can to go home.

Yes, go home! Gathering with relatives, laughing, and celebrating a Chinese New Year is a fetter that has infiltrated the blood of every Chinese child. Even if you can't go home for various reasons, you will use various methods to contact your family at this time.

Lu Zhen is just in his twenties, and although he used to travel thousands of miles away from home to study, he would go home on time during the winter vacation. Can ...... now He was in a place where he couldn't go back no matter what, let alone contact his parents and relatives, which made him infinitely lonely.

If it was before Zheng Fu and the others were dealt with, perhaps because of the tense situation, he could still devote most of his mind to thinking about how to deal with it. But now, not only Zheng Fu has been thrown into prison, but even the seemingly unprovoked Xiao Mo has died down, at least there is no threat for this period of time. Lu Jin, who was empty, naturally had more other thoughts, and when he thought about it more, his thoughts about his relatives became more and more intense.

Especially when he saw the county government officials and others smiling and preparing to go home to celebrate the New Year with their relatives, the longing and melancholy in his heart were even worse. This made him unable to do anything, but fortunately, it was the New Year's Festival, and there was nothing important in the yamen, otherwise he would have to delay something.

On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, after accepting the respectful New Year's greetings from the people below, Lu Zhen waved his hand and allowed them to leave the ya, and everyone would not come back after the fifteenth. Of course, there are some exceptions, such as the two officials and the scribes who have heavier errands, who have to come to the county government to make some preliminary preparations before Lu Jin's trip to Datong on the seventh day of the first month.

As everyone dispersed, the already empty county government seemed quieter, and Lu Jin's heart was also empty, he didn't know what to do for a while, and at the same time he didn't have any interest in doing anything.

Shaking his head slightly, Lu Zhen came to his public room, and subconsciously took out the silver ticket worth three hundred taels from a book and looked at it carefully.

In the past few days, whenever he has time, he will take out this silver ticket and look up and down carefully. It's not that I'm a fan of money, but I want to know more about this kind of circulating money, which was later fully rolled out, which is also a kind of interest.

As far as Lu Zhen knows, in fact, paper currency has appeared as early as the Song Dynasty, which is called Jiaozi. Subsequently, in the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, there was also a treasure banknote, which can almost be connected with the paper money of later generations. It's a pity that because the imperial court didn't pay much attention to the issuance of banknotes, and even issued a large number of banknotes in a way of plundering people's wealth, the treasure banknotes have been boycotted by everyone during the Yongle period.

Unexpectedly, in just a few decades, silver tickets appeared in this world, and even border places such as Shanxi were also circulated. Maybe this is the progress of the times.

Thinking of all this, Lu Jin's originally somewhat distressed expression finally looked better, and there was even a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth. But at this moment, a cold snort suddenly came from outside the door, which made Lu Zhen pull out of his thoughts suddenly, and when he looked up, he saw Chu Yunrong standing in front of the door with a disdainful face......

@@@@@

Lu Zhen ignored one point, in fact, he was not only a stranger in this county office, but his nominal wife Chu Yunrong and the little girl Cuimei were also guests from another country, and they were also missing their hometown and family at this time.

The only difference is that these two can still be companions, but Lu Jin needs to face the feeling of loneliness alone. And his loneliness also fell into Cui Mei's eyes.

Just now, after knowing that everyone in the county government had been sent away by Lu Jin, Cui Mei entangled her own miss: "Miss, no matter how you say that my uncle is also our relative, it's not a problem for you to ignore him all the time." Now it's the New Year again, and it's too pitiful to leave him alone. ”

"Hmph, he hasn't seen us in the past few days, what kind of relatives is he? I'm afraid he doesn't think of me as his wife in his heart for a long time......" Chu Yunrong, who was a little fragile because of his thoughts, rarely complained about Lu Jin.

People are also weird sometimes, in the past, when Lu Zhen always came over to entangle, Chu Yunrong felt upset when he saw him. But in the past month or two, Lu Zhen has almost disappeared from her, and she doesn't feel resentful in her heart, and occasionally says a few words because of this.

In fact, it's not that Chu Yunrong has any affection for Lu Jin, it's really because the relationship between the two parties is here, and Lu Jin's performance has greatly exceeded her expectations recently, so her attitude towards her has also changed.

Seeing her say this, Cui Mei smiled in her heart, and took the opportunity to say: "Miss, in fact, you don't necessarily have to ask your uncle to take the initiative to come to you, we can also go to see him." ”

"This ...... Isn't that okay? Chu Yunrong immediately frowned, he always wanted to be reserved as his daughter's family. And if Allah moves to see him, what if he thinks something else and haunts him as before?

"Miss, this county government is empty, and now it's just the three of us, aren't you afraid? Tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, and it is too lonely for the two of us to celebrate the New Year together, so let's find my aunt together. ”

Cui Mei's previous sentence had already made Chu Yunrong a little moved, like most women, she was not too bold, thinking about the current situation in the yamen, she was also a little hairy. So after thinking about it, I finally got moved and went out with Cuimei to find Lu Jin.

In fact, in the final analysis, Chu Yunrong's attitude has changed, and it is Lu Jin's recent progress that makes her feel that this guy may still be saved.

But now, when Chu Yunrong finally saw Lu Jin in front of the public house, only to find that he was holding a silver ticket and smiling a little weirdly, Lu Jin's image collapsed again.

It turns out that he is no different from before, he is still the same greed!

You see, doesn't he just have a large silver ticket in his hand? It must have been looted or embezzled from somewhere. How can a person like this be my husband Chu Yunrong? How could I possibly look up to such a person?

With a sense of disdain in his heart, Chu Yunrong couldn't help but snort at once. This voice alarmed Lu Jin, made him look up, and then showed a look of surprise: "Why are you here?" ”

"I know that you don't want us to come over right now, so that my true colors won't be revealed." Chu Yunrong frowned, looking disdainful.

Lu Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then found that the other party's eyes were falling on the silver ticket in his hand, and then he suddenly laughed: "Do you think this is my embezzlement gains?" ”

"How you got this silver ticket has nothing to do with me, and I don't have any interest in knowing." Although he said this, Chu Yunrong's eyes were still fixed on the other party's hand: "I thought that you had changed your past after the previous incident, but now it seems that you have just learned to hide!" But there is no difference in nature from before, and he is still so greedy! ”

Being pointed at by the other party like this made Lu Jin smile bitterly. Isn't it just a silver ticket to make your aunt and grandmother point at and scold so disdainfully?

Somehow, Lu Zhen wanted to explain, so he walked over with the silver ticket, and when he came to Chu Yunrong, he lit up the silver ticket: "Look at it." ”

"See what?" Chu Yunrong spoke, but his gaze fell, and then the expression on his face changed: "Three hundred taels!" "That's a lot of money.

"This silver ticket was sent by the chief Xiao Mo who came to make trouble that day, do you think he would really have any kindness in sending me such a large sum of silver?" Lu Zhen argued with the other party.

"What do you mean by that?" Chu Yunrong is not a stupid person, he has already thought of something.

"My county order has never been taken seriously by him, and after I suffered a loss in my hands, he will give me money in a soft and kind way? Believe it or not, I won't believe it anyway. Lu Zhen was rarely playful and said a famous quote from later generations.

However, the effect of these words was not very obvious, and Chu Yunrong looked at him with some puzzlement: "Since you know that there is a problem, why do you still accept it?" ”

"Because if you don't accept it, it may be more troublesome." Lu Zhen smiled bitterly: "At least you can live in peace for a few days if you accept it." But this silver ticket is a problem after all, so I will take it and ponder it. ”

"Is that true?" Chu Yunrong looked at some of the people who were moved by what he said, blinked his eyes and asked.

She was originally beautiful, but now she is not as cold to Lu Zhen as before, and even has a hint of playfulness, which makes Lu Jin's heart can't help but move. After all, he was only twenty, and when he saw such a beautiful person in front of him, he didn't feel a little stunned.

"Hey, Lu Shansi, what do I ask you?" For no reason, she was stunned by the "husband" in front of her, and Chu Yunrong's heart also jumped, which was something she had never felt before. Frightened, I can only use words to relieve my embarrassment.

Lu Zhen also felt a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "Of course it's true, these hundreds of taels of silver are not in my eyes, how can I look at them repeatedly?" ”

He is telling the truth, because under the influence of many literary and artistic works in later generations, even Lu Jin, who knows history well, does not have a deep concept of a few hundred taels of silver, because there are thousands of dollars, or even tens of millions of silver.

"It's going to talk big." Chu Yunrong couldn't help but glance at the man in front of him a little delicately: "By the way, tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, how do you plan to spend it?" There was already a hint of invitation in his words.
