"Huh?" Liu Qingsi was wearing a thin layer of autumn shirt, sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at the color of a few pieces of fabric in his hand with a smile, comparing and comparing. When I heard him scream, I looked up and answered.

"I want to calculate how much money our family has now." Ning Ze sat in front of the window, and some of the floodlight shadows outside fell one after another, falling on the window paper, and after a while, a fluffy layer accumulated.

It's snowing.

The room was warm as spring, and there was no smoke from charcoal fires. Ningze's floor heating design has made many guests envious. When I came to his house, I didn't have a brazier, but no matter where I went, my body would be warm, and I had to take off my coat after a while, otherwise the sweat would continue to seep out.

But no matter who asked about the mystery, Ning Ze smiled and didn't answer, including his father-in-law. But he promised to make a set for his father-in-law. Liu Dahong heard that the cost was about 200 yuan, and he was startled at first. Later, when he heard that it was given for nothing, he immediately urged him to start work quickly.

The simple Liu Qingsi also asked him why he didn't share this good way of keeping warm with the villagers, but he still smiled and didn't answer.

At this time, Liu Qingsi looked at him with a strange expression on his face. Ning Lang has always been the shopkeeper and never asks about money, what's wrong today?

She put down the work in her hand, went to the cabinet and took out an account book, opened it, and said softly one by one: "When you leave, you left two hundred and forty yuan at home, and Uncle Niu handed them over to me." In the past year, the total tributary flow in the account has been 1,700 yuan, and now excluding goods, purchased materials, and labor, there are 950 yuan in cash. Plus the rewards you brought, the rewards given by the officials, and the gifts we received when we got married......"

She counted as she spoke: "There are also polishing pens sent by others for calligraphy and painting these days, etc., and our family now has more than 9,000 yuan." ”

"Hehe, yes, yes, the lady is really a good housekeeper!" Ning Ze smiled and leaned over, Liu Qingsi didn't avoid his harassment like he went back, let him hug his waist, bow his head and say nothing.

"Well, what's wrong?" He was a little strange: "Why are you upset?" ”

"You, are you leaving?"

Women, why are you always so sensitive? Ning Ze sighed secretly and said with a smile: "How can you see it? Can't I ask for money to spend? ”

"You want money back, but you only say the amount, and never ask anything else. Unless you doubt me...... Or you're leaving. ”

"Okay, okay! I give up. Ning Ze raised his hands and said with a wry smile, everything has been said about this, do you want to say that you are suspicious of others?

"It's just that I want to plan for the future, if I want to make plans for our future, should I plan if I really want to leave?" Ning Ze hugged Liu Qingsi's shoulder, kissed her and said with a smile: "I estimate that after the winter solstice, the holy decree is about to arrive, so you have to prepare." How much turnover can we handle every day? ”

That night, he became a copper-smelling businessman, talking about money. When he was resting, Liu Qingsi insisted on not letting him touch it for the first time. He was a little stunned, feeling that he had broken his daughter-in-law's heart, and he didn't dare to make a mistake.

The winter solstice is a big festival, commonly known as the sub-year.

Before dawn, Ning Ze woke up. He found that Qing Si was still asleep, leaned over and quietly looked at her face, her pink face was a natural blush, because she was sleeping, it looked even more moist. The long eyelashes cover the eyelids, and the slight breathing sound comes from the bridge of the delicate nose. It's just that there is a deep lock between the eyebrows, and I don't know why, I'm still worried in my dreams.

Ning Ze was really reluctant in his heart, sighed softly, and wanted to kiss her lips, but saw that her eyebrows suddenly became cheerful again, the corners of her mouth turned up, and she smiled.

"This girl, when she falls asleep, she is still so worried for a while and happy for a while!" Ning Ze smiled secretly, didn't dare to disturb her, and slowly got up and dressed.

"You're up?" His movements, though light, had already awakened her.

"Well, you sleep a little longer, I'll arrange it today!" Ning Ze touched his face lovingly and smiled.

"Oh, I'm going to die, why do you sleep so deeply?" Liu Qingsi got up and dressed in a hurry, today was a big day, how could he sleep?

After hurriedly freshening up, the husband and wife came to the door of the south room side by side: "The son (daughter-in-law) greets his mother, and his mother is auspicious on the winter solstice, and her life is long!" ”

"Hehe, come in, come in!" Lee was already laughing inside.

After a while, Ning Tao also ran over to say goodbye, and the family sat in the Li family's house. Sister-in-law Niu took her maidservant Xiaochan and brought Shixin dried fruits, honey, and red dates to Lao An to celebrate the Winter Festival.

For a while, Uncle Niu took Fang Xiaoyi to greet him outside the door, reporting that the ancestral tablet had been invited, and asked the old lady to come over to worship the ancestors.

Li stood up, Liu Qingsi and Ning Ze hurriedly stepped forward to support left and right, Ning Tao followed behind, a family of four came to the middle hall, just above the middle hall is Cai Jing inscribed "Jieyi Liufang" plaque, the following article for the middle of the Ning family ancestors of several generations of tablets, and placed three animals, tea, wine, fruit plates and incense candles and other things.

Li took the lead in taking the three incense sticks and lit them, silently prayed upwards, and sat down beside the ceremony. It was only when Ning Ze and his wife bowed to their ancestors in both directions that they offered incense, and in the end, Ning Tao also kowtowed. When Uncle Niu saw the end of the salute, he hurriedly set off the cannonball, which resounded in the neighborhoods for a while.

Originally, the Winter Festival did not set off artillery battles, but Ning Ze came to add festivity to the excitement, and secondly, he also advertised for his father-in-law Liu Dahong, and deliberately put it vigorously. His family is now the largest family in Huyang County, and the power of example is endless, and it will not be long before the people of the city will follow suit, and then this custom will gradually spread all over the country.

The Han people are lively and auspicious, as long as they can achieve this atmosphere, they must not be able to run.

After saying goodbye to the ancestors, Qing Si stayed at home to accompany his mother-in-law, Ning Ze was going to take Ning Tao, Fang Xiaoyi followed closely, and went around to worship the Winter Festival. Although Ning Tao is still young, once he leaves Huyang, he will support the outside affairs, and it is time for him to experience and experience.

One morning, Ning Ze went to his father-in-law Liu's house first. Liu Dahong and his wife have long been leaning on the door, and the relationship between Weng and his son-in-law is now very harmonious, plus Ning Tao and Liu Qingxian have long become classmates and friends, so they are naturally affectionate. Zhang's didn't see his daughter coming, although it was a rule, but he couldn't help but be reluctant, asked questions, and returned many gifts.

Then he went to see Wang Binglin and several gentry in the county, and the family was flattered by Ning Zhishu's presence in person, and they couldn't wait to cut off the meat and give him to eat it in order to express their glory and excitement. Needless to say, when you return for a while, the gift can only be doubled.

Second Master Ning doesn't plan to be an iron-faced and selfless Qing official now, and he is still more open to the matter of courtesy and exchanges. Gray income, don't step on the bottom line. At present, the Great Song Dynasty is greedy, and he is already incorruptible!

The last stop was to go to the Tang River, although Zhang Shun does not know his whereabouts now, but the familiar group of brothers are still there, he stepped forward to say hello one by one with a smile, his mouth was full of nonsense, and there was no official arrogance. The brethren could not say anything else, but their hearts were moved. He is now a big official, and when he comes to him, he is still the same young man who was a little treacherous, a little playful, and a little personable last year!

Fang Xiaoyi happily took off the blanket on his shoulders and gave everyone the usual money as a gift. Everyone saw that this black-faced big man came to see the world last year in a daze, but today he has become Ning Erlang's personal entourage, and they also secretly sighed.

Before leaving, Ning Ze firmly refused the return gift from the boatmen, and only let Ning Tao and Fang Xiaoyi each carry two big fish, which can be regarded as more than enough every year, and they often come and go.
