Although the whereabouts of the sixth lady of the Gu family were not found out from the mouths of the shopkeepers of the Han family, the crime of tax evasion of the Han family was found out.

The emperor didn't have the heart to blame Gu Liu, who had no evidence of the Han family.

Master Gu, the old man of the household department, came to Jingzhao Mansion with a smile on his face.

His eldest son has recently been in a big accident, and he originally felt that he had lost face in front of other officials.

Unexpectedly, in just a few days, his sixth son sent such a large sum of silver.

At the beginning of spring this year, the household department no longer worries about no silver spending.

Although it is a matter of working overtime for the New Year, the household department is festive and prosperous.

There is a matter of silver, not to mention that they were called here for the New Year, even if it was called to count the money on the wedding night, there were many adults in it who were willing.

What's more, it is a large number of millions, and it is necessary to leave a batch of funds for the household department itself.

The beginning of the year is a bumper harvest year, this year, it is very good.

With the silver, the eldest of the Gu family also asked how his daughter-in-law was doing.

"Your daughter-in-law, have you found it?" Old Master Gu asked with a smile.

Gu Liu glanced at him angrily, "If you find it, can I still mix these here?" ”

But if he finds his daughter-in-law, he won't deal with this group of people in the cold.

Hiding in a warm room, wife and children hot kang, isn't it beautiful?

Gu Shangshu didn't mind the attitude of his unfilial and rebellious son, anyway, even on weekdays, this stinky boy never gave himself face.

The father and son exchanged a few more pleasantries, and Gu Shangshu went back happily.

The household is in full swing, so let's not mention it for the time being.

This year is a festive year for the Ou family.

Yun Xiu and Aunt Ou fried the New Year goods on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

The crispy lotus root sandwich Outian likes to eat.

Aunt Ou laughed at him: "Haven't you eaten anything good outside?" ”

His thin body ate two large bowls of lotus root clips in a row. If you eat too much fried food, it will catch fire, and if you are oily, you may even have stomach trouble.

Ou Tian replied with a smile: "Mother's craftsmanship is much better than those people outside. Even the chefs in our county yamen before were not as good as yours. ”

His mother's cooking skills are good, and Yunxiu's cooking skills are also good.

These lotus root clips were all washed and cut out by Yunxiu one by one.

Aunt Ou poked his finger at his brain: "As long as you can speak, you were a parrot in your last life, and you will say good things to make me happy." Although he complained in his mouth, he still hurt his son, "If you like to eat it, when you go back to work, your mother will make some more for you." ”

Ou Tian nodded again and again, to be honest, bringing some things out at home, and making them at home is not a rare thing, but it is the best thing to have a relationship with colleagues.

Besides, he loves to eat the food made by his mother, and his mother is also very happy in her heart.

Yun Xiu said with a smile on the side: "It's the New Year, and I have to stay in Beijing." When the time comes, Aunt Ou will make lotus root clips for her every day, and after eating for a year and a half, she will be tired. ”

When she was with Gu Liu, she heard Gu Liu tell her about these official systems.

If an official who has been released has done an excellent job while in office, he or she will have to stay in Beijing for a certain number of years, and will only be released when there is an opportunity next time.

Because although it is good to be released, the emperor is far away from the sky, and the power is too great, so it is necessary to raise some people's ambitions.

Master Gao is afraid that these ministers, who are released from the outside, do not have the emperor in their hearts, and besides, they can stay in the capital and be closer to the Son of Heaven.

Therefore, the Beijing officials who came back from abroad to work in the capital for a few years also gave the officials some motivation.

Ou Tian asked her with a smile: "I don't understand the twists and turns in this, just do your own thing." ”

Yun Xiu nodded: "It's always right to do things well." ”

This young master of the Ou family is a real person, and he has not forgotten his heart because he is an official. The third master of the family supported him, and he also felt relieved.

Aunt Ou echoed with a smile: "This is a good one, when you go back to worship your ancestors, in front of your ancestors, you also have a clear conscience." ”

This mother, there is no longer the pride of her son who has a future and ambition.

Uncle Ou came back from inside the Zhuangzi.

Today's Chinese New Year, Zhuangzi has a seven-day holiday.

Fu Sanye is a good owner, and he feels sorry for them.

Those who are still on duty in the Zhuangzi during the Chinese New Year will give three times the reward.

Uncle Ou was worried about his son's marriage to his daughter-in-law, and he didn't want his son to be a corrupt official like others, and to loot the fat and ointment of the poor people.

I can only work harder by myself, but fortunately, there are more opportunities to support my family and more money.

During the Chinese New Year, he did more, and the third master gave more rewards.

It's just that during the Chinese New Year, I even went home to visit relatives with the cooks in the Zhuangzi.

He had nowhere to eat, so he had to run two more steps and come home to eat.

Ou Tian watched his father come back and said with a smile: "I told my mother just now that I would bring you food." Why did you come back? ”

Don't look at their village, which is a few miles away from Wangjing, because in the suburbs, the weather is different.

The thick snow that had fallen from the previous snow, and before the snow had melted, it began to fall again.

The north wind blew on the face, and it hurt.

Uncle Ou roasted his hands in front of the charcoal fire, and covered his face with warm gloves.

"I want you to send something, it's weird cold outside. I was able to exercise by taking two more steps on my own. ”

He felt sorry for his son. Although he didn't say anything, his son finally came home, and he, who was a father, had a very bright face.

He has been a slave to others all his life, but his son is not, his son is angry and has become an official master. An innocent official, the kind who does good things for the people.

When he went down to see his ancestors a hundred years later, he also had a bright face.

Yun Xiu looked at Uncle Ou, her eyes were red.

He looked down and wiped the tears from his eyes.

Uncle Ou's silent fatherly love is too much like her father.

When the cloud carpenter was alive, it was like this.

I don't say anything on my mouth and face, but I can't hide my love for my children.

Before, Yun Xiu's father also felt sorry for her to deliver food, and would rather go out to work with unpalatable dry food by himself, rather than be reluctant for her to run more than ten miles to deliver things, even when it rained, she went to deliver an umbrella, and Yun Carpenter also blamed her for wasting effort.

They are all the same kind of people, and their father's love is so heavy that they don't even know how to express themselves.

Uncle Ou ate at home, hurriedly dressed up, and went to Zhuangzi.

Before leaving, he did not forget to tell them that if it snowed heavily in the afternoon, then he would not come back.

There was also an old Li Tou who was on duty with him in the Zhuangzi.

The two of them had a companion, and they spent the night together, so that the night would not be too hard.

Aunt Ou blamed him: "How can you spend the night outside for the New Year." ”

Look at the door again, where is Uncle Ou's figure.

Ou Tian smiled and said to his mother: "Don't you know my father's strange temper, don't you care about him, you cook at night, I'll send him over." ”

Aunt Ou was helpless, so she had to nod her head.

Some children in the village brought their rare goods to their relatives, and begged for candy to eat at Ou's house by the way.

Where are there any valuable things in the countryside, they are some, brown sugar eggs.

The people in the village are not wealthy, and even eggs can not be eaten until the Chinese New Year.

Aunt Ou is not the kind of person who is stingy, people come over, whether the children take things or not, they all smile and grab a handful of candy for them.

It is the dragon whisker cake that Ou Tian bought in the capital.

The best sugar tastes sweet but not greasy.

The sugar is good, and the price is good.

Three copper plates of a piece of sugar.

If this was put in normal times, he would be reluctant to eat it himself.

It's just that his mother instructed him to buy some good ones, so he simply bought rare ones.

Where have the children in the village eaten this, on weekdays, shaking the rattle candy, and the mother and mother took a few eggs for a few pieces, and tasted it to satisfy their hunger.

These things are dragon whiskers, that is, when I followed my father and mother into the city, I saw those rich sons and sisters eat them.

A large handful of dragon whisker crisps in his hand.

It's heavy, but it's light to walk.

There are honest and honest people, but they are really embarrassed to take such a valuable thing from the Ou family.

I didn't have a lot of sugar in my mouth, but I couldn't get anything good, so I sent another piece of pickled fish and meat at home.

Those who are still courteous are also embarrassed in their hearts.

Aunt Ou looked at the row of bacon and smoked fish hanging in the yard, and said to Yunxiu with a smile: "My stinky boy loves these fish and meat the most, go back and let him take most of it, and let us eat the rest." ”

Yun Xiu nodded with a smile. But he did not speak.

She had already calculated it in her heart.

After the New Year, when the weather is good in spring, she will go back to Suzhuang Village on the road.

They still have land at home, and they still have a house in their hometown.

She may help Feng Niangzi greet guests in the teahouse in the town, and those who serve tea and water can also eat together. Or go back to the village, farm and eat, and raise a big dog to take care of the house, and you can live in peace this day.

After all, Uncle Liu is still there, and he can take care of himself.

Aunt Ou naturally didn't know her thoughts, so she just thought she should come down.

She and Yun Xiu have two temperaments and temperaments that are compatible, and she has long regarded Yun Xiu as her own girl in her heart.

There is such a hard-working and beautiful girl who can talk together, she has been looking forward to it for a long time.

In the afternoon, the meal was cooked, and Aunt Li made two large food boxes.

Let Ou Tian carry Uncle Ou to Zhuangzi, Lao Li Tou is also there, and the two of them will celebrate the New Year in Zhuangzi, and they can't be shabby.

I made a few kinds of food at home, and I also brought a pot of good wine prepared by Uncle Ou.

Uncle Ou is poor Lao Li Tou for the New Year alone, and his kind-hearted Aunt Ou understands it, so he didn't insist on him coming back.

She is not alone this year, she has her son as a companion, and Yunxiu is also there.
