Chapter 47: The Lantern Festival

Since the first day of the Lunar New Year, after Shen Zhuangmeng's visit, the two of them instantly devoted themselves to their careers with their greatest enthusiasm. Because of Xiang Zixi's drive, Shen Zhuangmeng, who was originally just interested and playful, became serious, and discussed with her until midnight every day, constantly scrutinizing every detail.

Xiang Zixi summarized the opinions of the two people according to the discussion, and after the two people agreed, they discussed the next detail.

Just like that, the two of them had a tense, fulfilling and satisfying New Year. In order to facilitate Shen Zhuangmeng, Xiang Zixi even prepared a room for her alone, Shen Zhuangmeng did not leave Xiang's house for three days, so he stayed in the room with Xiang Zixi day and night to discuss things.

When eating, the little fat and chubby pushed the dining cart to the room, and really did not leave the house.

What should Jin Haoxuan and Ji Yan do, they didn't bother at all, Xin Zeyang was pulled into the water by Xiang Zixi because of misery, and he was often carried away by the unscrupulous sister he had just recognized in his sleep with the quilt, and directly resisted in the room to force him to cooperate with him.

Everyone remained silent on this point, except for a certain mad man who roared from time to time: "I'm also sleeping, my room is closer, why don't you come to my room and catch me!" ”

In a flash, half a month passed, and in a blink of an eye, it was the Lantern Festival.

Shen Zhuangmeng stretched and said, "I have to go back today!" Because of living here these days, my parents are about to have opinions! However, Zixi, it's really fun to do things with you! You'll always surprise me! ”

"Really? Ahahahaβ€”β€”β€”β€”" Xiang Zixi smiled heartily: "It's okay, today is the annual Lantern Festival, I'll go to my father's grave in a while, and we'll go to enjoy the lanterns together at night!" ”

"Hmmβ€”β€”β€”β€”" a disgruntled cat said coldly: "It looks like someone once promised me to take me with him!" ”

Xiang Zixi and Shen Zhuangmeng laughed at the same time, this Xin Zeyang! Since the three of them stayed together almost every day for half a month, slowly, the three of them became familiar with each other. Sure enough, this young man is really a little poisonous tongue! When he hit his master, he definitely spared no effort, but unfortunately the one who was hit didn't care at all.

Sending Shen Zhuangmeng away, Xiang Zixi turned around and told Ji Yan to put on a carriage and rush to Xiangjiazhen's hometown to go to the grave of his parents who had already embarked on the road to heaven.

Along the way, Xiang Zixi closed his eyes in the carriage, and Ji Yan drove silently. Because of the preparation for the Lantern Festival, Xiao Fei and Xiao Chubby didn't come out with him, and he returned to Xiangjia Town, which was just Xiang Zixi and Ji Yan.

Ji Yan turned his head slightly, and saw that Xiang Zixi in the carriage was asleep, so he immediately slowed down, took out a blanket from behind him, and slowly helped her cover her body.

worked continuously for half a month, which was enough for her to work hard. However, maybe it was her seriousness that moved her deeply, right? I don't deny that at the beginning, I contacted her just for my own task, and I just thought she was fun, but as she got in touch day by day, the shining points on her body were like magnets, attracting herself little by little. Her seriousness, her boldness, her perseverance, her intelligence, her smiling eyes, and her dancing on that snowy night. It's just imprinted on my heart little by little, and I can't let it go anymore.

Ji Yan's eyes drooped, and a seemingly absent smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Xiang Xiang, how can there be a woman like you in the world? You are not perfect, but you are dazzling. It is precisely because of your imperfection that you are so dazzling!

The carriage suddenly jolted slightly, and Xiang Zixi immediately woke up: "Huh? How did I fall asleep? ”

"It's okay, there's still some way to go, you can sleep for a while, and I'll call you later!" Ji Yan outside the carriage said softly.

"Still don't! I slept during the day, but I couldn't sleep at night. Xiang Zixi stretched his waist and pulled out a head holding the blanket: "Are you cold?" Would you like to come in and warm up, I'll drive? ”

"No need. You'd better stay for me! A hand unceremoniously stuffed Xiang Zixi's head back to the back: "It's windy outside today, be careful of the wind and cold!" ”

"Oh!" Xiang Zixi obediently returned to the carriage, hugged the blanket and said softly: "Ah, I suddenly feel that I am so busy!" So many things need to be done. I really want to see the results soon! ”

"Yes!" Ji Yan shook the reins in his hand and sped up his speed.

Soon, the carriage arrived at Xiangjia Town, and the old mansion in Xiangjia Town heard the sound and hurriedly came over to open the door to Xiang Zixi. Xiang Zixi's current identity is no longer the eldest lady, but the head of the Xiang family, so everyone is very respectful when they see her.

Xiang Zixi smiled faintly, handed the things on the carriage to the subordinates guarding the mansion, and said softly: "These are gifts for you!" It's the Lantern Festival today, nothing special, you can get together for a drink! ”

"Thank you, Miss!" In the past, the old maid still habitually called her Miss, and did not change her title at all. It's just that the current eldest lady seems to have changed a lot!

Xiang Zixi came to the spiritual seat with incense candles, silently lit three incense sticks, knelt in front of the spiritual seat, and gently kowtowed three heads.

"Daddy, I'm here to see you." Xiang Zixi breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm sorry! If it weren't for my appearance, the Xiang family probably wouldn't be like this, right? If I hadn't shown up and your original daughter was still there, probably, everything wouldn't have been like this! I wanted to honor the two old men instead of her, but I never thought that it would be like thisβ€”β€”β€”β€” my father and mother were killed by me, and all I can do is to find out your murderer, I can only do my best to carry forward the family! I am here to assure you that I will definitely make the Xiang family a famous family in Yaoguo and a real nobleman! This is my promise to you! ”

After Xiang Zixi said this, Xiang Zixi kowtowed lightly again.

The candle flame in front of the spirit jumped a few times, and it burned even more vigorously.

When Xiang Zixi returned to the gate, he happened to meet Ji Yan drinking and chatting with the old servants who were guarding the door, and Xiang Zixi heard one say: "Since our eldest lady moved to live in the county seat, hey, the young lady of the Jin family can't help it, saying that she is going to open a store in the county seat after the Lantern Festival!" ”

"Tsk, that Miss Jin family, I like to compare with our eldest lady since I was a child! In the past, the eldest lady had a weak personality and was often bullied, but the current eldest lady has changed a lot.1 That Miss Jin may not be her opponent anymore! ”

"That's it. It is said that the young lady of the Jin family is going to open a garment shop in the county seat, and she has specially found a few good masters from the outside! ”

Xiang Zixi's eyes narrowed slightly: "Jin Fengting? actually went to the county to do clothing business? Is this a coincidence? ”

Ji Yan heard Xiang Zixi's footsteps, and immediately looked up at her: "It's over?" ”

Xiang Zixi nodded slightly, turned his head and asked the old maid who was guarding the door: "Just now you said that Jin Fengting was going to the county seat to open a shop, what is going on?" ”

"Miss, you don't know if you're not at home, do you? We also heard the news suddenly, saying that Miss Jin suddenly asked to open a store in the county town to specialize in making ready-to-wear. The Jin family is rich and has always spoiled this young lady, so they agreed! Moreover, I also heard that the county magistrate specially helped that Miss Jin and got her a storefront in the best location in the county! You say, is that county commander in love with that Miss Jin! ”

"Oh? Really! A smile appeared on the corner of Xiang Zixi's mouth: "Sure enough, everything is indispensable to that damn bastard!" Ji Yan, let's go! ”

The other servants quickly straightened up and sent Xiang Zixi away.

On the way back, Xiang Zixi only felt a little headache, I don't know why, as soon as Wang Xi was mentioned, her anger couldn't be suppressed. Thinking of being held in his arms that night, Xiang Zixi felt a headache of anger.

This Wang Xi, did he deliberately do it against himself? I have worked hard with Shen Zhuangmeng for so many days, and I must not let that Wang Xi stick a lever in his hands!

The way back was much faster, and it only took more than an hour to reach the doorstep. As soon as Xiang Zixi got out of the carriage, someone immediately sent an invitation, Xiang Zixi swept his eyes, and at a glance saw the gilded Shen character on it, knowing that this was an invitation sent by Shen Zhuangmeng, and immediately said: "Send it to my room, I'll change clothes." ”

Forget it, anyway, even if Jin Fengting really wants to compete with herself, then she can't make underwear, right?

The evening came quickly, and everyone had an early dinner and went to the street to enjoy the lanterns and guess the lantern riddles. When Xiang Zixi appeared at the door of Shen's house with Xin Zeyang, Shen Zhuangmeng had been waiting anxiously for a long time. Shen Zhuangmeng glanced behind Xiang Zixi and found that Ji Yan did not follow, and he was immediately a little lost. But she quickly took Xiang Zixi's hand and said, "You're here!" I've been waiting for you here for a long time! Let's go, my father wants to see you! ”

"See me?" Xiang Zixi was stunned: "Why! ”

"It's not because those samples you gave me came in handy1! I asked my mother to bring a few ladies and ladies she knew well, and everyone thought it was good, and they asked my mother where to order it.1"

"That's great news! Walk! Xiang Zixi took Shen Zhuangmeng's hand, and stepped in so happily: "I knew that I wouldn't eat, and I would come to you directly!" ”

"It's not too late!" Shen Zhuangmeng affectionately took Xiang Zixi to his parents' yard, Xiang Zixi was so exquisite, one by one uncle and aunt shouted, flattering words one after another, and the old lady of the Shen family was immediately happy.

After some discussion, the old lady of the Shen family officially agreed to the cooperation between the two families. And Xiang Zixi's business talent made the old lady of the Shen family shine and praise again and again. So, the first deal, on the day of the Lantern Festival, was officially reached! The first order turned out to be hundreds of pieces! I have to say, this is a very good start!
