Chapter 111: Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner
It's autumn in a blink of an eye, and Yuqing has been reading for half a year.
Before going to Nanshan Academy to study, although she had not studied the Four Books and Five Classics, she was not illiterate, and she had the ability to never forget.
In addition, she is also a person who has studied in the third year of high school and taken the college entrance examination, so her understanding is not bad.
Therefore, it only took half a year to finish the four books, enter the children's class, and next year will be able to take the Xiucai exam.
All the granges of their family have also had a bumper harvest, how many catties of various crops are there, what price they are sold, and Uncle Jiang has explained everything clearly for each income.
At this point, Yuqing has complete trust in him.
Although there is a bumper harvest, once the tax is paid, there is not much left, which strengthens Yuqing's determination to test his fame, at least to be admitted to the examination, so that he can pay less tax in the future.
The soap workshop and rabbit breeding run by Hanshan are secretly protected by the East Factory, and those dignitaries dare not make up their minds no matter how red they are, so they can make a lot of money.
The factory man followed the clue of An Guogong and found out several traitors who betrayed the country and collaborated with the enemy.
These traitors were all loyal ministers who were persecuted by Xia Ruohan in the original book, and it turned out that they were traitors.
Yu Qing felt sorry for Xia Ruohan, just because of his status as a eunuch, many wild histories said that he was a heinous bad person, and she also followed the trend to set him as the villain, but she didn't expect that people were loyal ministers.
Because it was found that those traitors had collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, Lord Changgong not only justifiably eradicated those hostile forces that wanted to assassinate him, but also won the emperor's trust in him even more.
The crisis of impeachment of the hundred officials was solved, and he became even more rampant in the world, and the hundred officials respected him.
In a blink of an eye, the Spring Festival came, and the academy had a half-month holiday.
On the day of the holiday, Hanshan deliberately drove his own carriage to pick up Yuqing.
The sky was snowing heavily, but the master and servant were in a good mood, and Yuqing poked her head out of the thick curtain from time to time to talk to Hanshan.
A tall red figure rode a white horse and followed from a distance, watching his master and servant talking and laughing, and the handsome man in red was very unhappy.
Snowy roads are difficult.
Two hours later, Hanshan drove the carriage into Yingtian.
When I was passing through a street, I saw a group of people beating people.
The beaten men were wallowing in the snow, looking very pitiful.
Yu Qing was moved by compassion, and was about to order Hanshan to stop the carriage and ask what was going on, if he could help, then help.
But he inadvertently saw the faces of the beaten people, it was Jiang Mingxiao's father and son, and they immediately put away the crocodile's tears and dispelled the idea of helping.
She won't save any of the people in the Jiang family's old mansion.
He and a group of children had been looking forward to Yuqing at home for a long time, and when they saw her back, the whole family surrounded her and asked for warmth, and the atmosphere was very warm.
After lunch, the cook and the two maids all prepared the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
He pulled Yuqing to her room to observe her carefully, probably because she was wearing winter clothes, she looked flat, and she would not show flaws in her appearance for the time being, but it was difficult to say anything else, after all, she was already fourteen years old.
He quietly asked Yu Qing if she had any menstrual affairs, and Yu Qing blushed and said no.
Actually, there were, but she didn't want to tell the truth to Ho, lest she ask her how she handled it.
She was really embarrassed to talk to her about such a private issue.
Anyway, she has space for sanitary napkins and sanitary napkins, which can be processed in the space, and others can't find it at all.
He listened to her words, half happy and half worried.
Happily, as long as the menstrual period does not come, it is not easy to show your whereabouts when you live in the academy with a group of boys.
But she hasn't had her menstrual period since she was so old, and it's obviously abnormal, but she can't ask a doctor for treatment, which makes He worried.
Yu Qing comforted: "There is nothing uncomfortable, if it is not normal, it is not normal." ”
He could only do this, and discussed with Yu Qing the plan to invite Uncle Jiang and the treasurer to come to the house for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
They should be thanked for their hard work in taking care of the grange and business for their family.
He also wanted to wrap a big red envelope for each steward and treasurer at the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
Yu Qing nodded in agreement.
Hanshan drove the carriage to invite the stewards and treasurer Shen Shi to come to the house for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
Uncle Jiang was homeless and alone, and Hanshan went to pick him up, so he took his carriage to Yuqing's house.
He and his daughters stayed in the inner house, and Yuqing took Brother Sheng to entertain Uncle Jiang in the front yard.
Uncle Jiang has a hateful face because of his broken appearance, not to mention children, even adults feel terrible when they see it, but Brother Sheng is not afraid of him, he is hugged and teased, and he giggles happily.
After a while, other stewards and shopkeepers also came one after another, and seven or eight men all surrounded Brother Sheng to tease him.
Some people wanted to hug Brother Sheng, but Uncle Jiang refused to let go.
finally let people hug him, and begged to come back, and hugged himself, everyone could see that he liked Brother Sheng.
During the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the He family sent a maid to carry Brother Sheng to the inner mansion to be with her mother and daughter, and Uncle Jiang reluctantly handed Brother Sheng to the maid.
A strong told the maid to walk steadily, don't wrestle, it doesn't hurt for her to wrestle, it's a big deal to break the little boy.
The corners of the girl's mouth twitched and she hugged Brother Sheng into the inner house.
As the male of the family, Yuqing stayed in the front yard to entertain guests.
Those stewards and shopkeepers wanted to pat her on the back and toasted her one after another.
Yuqing hasn't drunk since she was a child, and now she can't drink even more when she dresses up as a man, what if she gets drunk and shows her flaws?
But those stewards and shopkeepers were so enthusiastic that it was hard for her not to drink.
Fortunately, Uncle Jiang stood up to block the wine for her, otherwise she would have to be drunk by those stewards and shopkeepers.
When the wine was half drunk, Yuqing was ordered by the He family to seal a big red envelope for Uncle Jiang and those stewards and shopkeepers.
Uncle Jiang's red envelope was the largest, with three hundred taels of silver, and each of the other stewards and shopkeepers also had one hundred taels of silver.
A Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the host and guests were all happy, especially Uncle Jiang was so happy that he was drunk.
Yu Qing saw that he was so drunk that he was almost unconscious, so he asked Hanshan to send him home.
told Hanshan to make sure that Uncle Jiang was properly placed and then came back.
But he never thought that Hanshan used a carriage to pull Uncle Jiang out, but he pulled him back as he was.
Yu Qing was very surprised and asked, "Didn't you ask you to send him home, why did you pull him back again?" ”
Han Shan's expression was extremely serious, and he whispered: "Master, Uncle Jiang, he, he is Jiang Mingxuan Jiang!" ”
Yu Qing was taken aback: "How did you find out?" ”
"Just now, Master Jiang was sleeping in a daze on the carriage, but he suddenly cried bitterly, saying that his wife and daughter died so miserably, and kept calling the name of Master Sheng."
When Yu Qing heard this, she looked at Uncle Jiang, who was drunk and unconscious, with a solemn face.
If he was really Jiang Mingxuan, he would be able to explain why he was so loyal to their family and liked Brother Sheng so much.
But everything has to wait for Uncle Jiang to wake up, and she can confirm it in person.
