Chapter 216: New Year's Greetings

Pu Cao also really likes this enthusiastic and kind old lady, and invites the old lady to live at home after fifteen, and Mrs. Li is still a little hesitant, for fear of causing trouble to the two daughters. Pu Cao said that the greenhouse was busy and no one was cooking, so he deceived the old lady into coming to the door to plan for a hot meal. The old lady naturally saw her filial piety, laughed heartily, and immediately nodded in response.

In the blink of an eye, another night later, it was the third day of junior high school, and Fang Jie quit Pucao early in the morning and rushed back to the city to pay New Year's greetings to his aunt. Needless to say, there are all kinds of satin jewelry and all kinds of small toys, and Luo's shopkeeper has been prepared. When he handed over the gift list, Fang Jie frowned and waved his hand, unwilling to be distracted to take a look. There is no other reason, since the matchmaker of Layue came to the door, he has been thinking about asking his aunt to come forward and officially hire him, and finalize his marriage with Pucao as soon as possible.

Although, he has a very good relationship with Pucao, and it can even be said that he has a heart-to-heart. However, no matter how tempting and sweet the peach is that is not plucked on the tree, it is not your own if you don't hold it in your hand. After all, the world is unpredictable, and who knows when something will happen...

The Wei family had a smooth year this year, and after marrying the brutal Miss Sun in Layue, he even took over the power of the mansion of Yin Hou, not to mention how proud he was.

If you say that everything is as expected, this is also a bit reluctant, and if you count it seriously, she also has a thing that Mrs. Yin is worried about, that is, the marriage of her nephew.

Because Sun Fuyin received the grace of being re-elected for three years, the holy favor was extremely heavy, and all the big families in this city thought about climbing when they saw this. However, if you calculate that the eldest lady of the Sun family has already married, and the only young master Baokun is not yet ten years old, even if they have the heart to marry their daughter, the Sun family is afraid that they still expect to choose a daughter-in-law with a noble status for their son in Beijing. So, these people pondered and pondered and pondered to Fang Jie.

Wei is such a nephew, if he is married to the Fang family, it can be counted as a relationship with the Sun family. When the time comes, if you move around more frequently on weekdays, the Sun family will naturally be able to get some cheap if you have good things. Take 10,000 steps back and say, the Sun family will be unlucky one day, and their stepwife's nephew's Yue family will naturally not be implicated.

The more everyone pondered, the more they felt that there were many benefits to marrying the Fang family, but they were still a little reluctant to let them send a daughter out, so the wives of each family took their daughters to the Sun Mansion one after another.

Wei hadn't noticed everyone's intentions before, but only after hearing what they were saying and asking their nephews to fully understand. Her face turned cold at the moment, and she was deeply annoyed. She has always loved Fang Jie as her own son, and when her son is looked down upon, her half of her mother is naturally uncomfortable.

The ladies of each family are also shrewd people, and when they saw this, they immediately accepted the conversation, but they didn't make the scene too embarrassing. The Wei family sent someone out, and when he came back, he was ruthless and made sure to find a good woman for his nephew, not to mention the daughter of a big family, at least he had to be from a scholarly family.

However, when she thought about her nephew's eyes full of the little widow, she was deflated again, and couldn't help nagging for half an hour when she burned paper for her sister to send New Year's money.

On this day, she was discussing the dishes of the banquet with the housekeeper's wife, and suddenly heard that her nephew came to pay New Year's greetings, and immediately smiled with joy, and shouted loudly to the maid to invite people in.

Fang Jie's mother died early, and he has always regarded Wei as his own mother, and insisted on making a big gift despite Wei's obstruction, and finally offered a New Year's gift, so he sat next to his aunt and said something considerate.

Wei first asked his nephew how he was doing, and then asked about the restaurant business, and when he heard everything clearly, he pondered how to talk about family affairs.

I didn't want Fang Jie to be anxious, so he got up and saluted again, and then said solemnly, "Auntie, I came to visit my aunt today, and I have one more thing to ask for besides giving my aunt a New Year's greeting. My aunt also knows that I have been living a very difficult life since my mother passed away, and it is not easy to meet a woman who treats me sincerely. Therefore, I want to ask my aunt as an elder to come forward on behalf of the Fang family to hire the family affairs, and choose a good day to handle the family affairs after the autumn harvest. ”

Hearing this, Wei put down the teacup in his hand and persuaded with a smile, "You kid, getting married is a big deal, how can you be in such a hurry?" Besides, you're still young, maybe you can't tell if you like it for a while, or you should spend more time with each other, or ask if there are any other good women..."

"Auntie!" Fang Jie didn't wait for Wei to finish speaking, he already frowned and interrupted, "I have known Pucao for a year, and we already know each other's conduct and intentions. She is the woman I want to marry back, no matter how good other women are, I will not change my mind, and I hope that my aunt will be fulfilled. ”

"You..." Wei sighed, and had the heart to persuade a few more words, but when he saw the resolute look on his nephew's face, he swallowed back a little unwillingly. She bowed her head and poured tea, and her mind turned to think of a delaying plan, "You kid, you have such a temper since you were a child, but you won't listen to anyone if you make up your mind." That's it, since you insist, I can't stop it. However, it would never be possible for me to hire someone without even meeting him. It's better to do this, there are two pots of orchids blooming in our house, and I'll hold a flower viewing party in ten and a half months, and then give that a post to that cattail, and let her walk around. ”

Before Fang Jie came to the door, he thought that it would not be too smooth today, so although he didn't get his aunt's nod and consent, she would have agreed to most of the guests after this post. He was so happy that he quickly got up and made another big salute, and finally accompanied his aunt to talk about the past, and occasionally added some interesting stories when he traveled south and north, which made Wei smile and even eat half a bowl of rice for lunch, and left him until the sun set in the west before sending him out of the door.

Pu Cao was busy at home for a day, and it was getting dark before he saw the Fang family's carriage enter the village, and stepped forward to ask where Fang Jie had been lazy that day. Fang Jie smiled mysteriously, refusing to let go of her mouth and revealing half a word, she naturally frowned and pursed her lips and made a little annoyed.

Fang Jie smiled and took out the account book of the restaurant, and when Pu Cao saw the row of numbers on the last page, she immediately forgot everything, and went into the house to calculate how much her private room had risen.

Happy days always fly by, and in a flash it will be the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the people in the village will be willing to spend money this year. The buyer of the big red lantern bought a pair, and the red candle with the thickness of the child's arm was divided in half, and the lantern was inserted into the lantern at dusk and lit the fire, so that the front of the house was red all night.

The children carried small paper lamps in their hands, shouting and running around the streets, completely ignoring the cold wind blowing their faces like monkeys' butts. Occasionally, a child runs too fast and falls, but instead of crying, he feels the frozen mountain red in his arms and nibbles twice, and then gets up and continues to stumble and run without a shadow.

Pu Cao sat on the hot kang and straightened her clothes, occasionally turning her head to look at her red-colored window paper, and her face was also full of smiles. Life is like this, you don't necessarily have to be rich and rich, as long as there is hope and hope every year, it is the most joyful thing.

Peach Blossom was standing on a small stool and rummaging through her dowry box, Pucao loved her very much, and she didn't buy her many good things this winter. The little girl touched the brightly colored satin, and then patted the small jewelry box, and smiled like a crescent moon with big eyes.

When Mrs. Lizheng came to the door, she smiled when she saw her sister-in-law like this, "Oh, I'm really not here at the right time, isn't my sister-in-law's family background being looked down upon by me." ”

Pu Cao hurriedly smiled and invited her to sit on the kang to warm up, and Peach Blossom also obediently stepped forward and poured hot tea. Mrs. Li Zheng pulled her to lean in her arms and said a few words of gossip before getting down to business. It turned out that Shengzi said that he would take the Xiucai exam in two months, and he was anxious to go back to the house to learn Wenshu earlier. So, I planned to come to the door and ask Zhang Guier to take a car into the city tomorrow.

Mrs. Lizheng felt sorry for her son and had to come out to blow the cold wind every night, so she took this trip herself.

Zhang Guier is either hiding in the room at home these days to read or going to Fang's house to find Chu Fei to talk about poetry and papers, and he really can't help much if he is at home, but it makes the two children cautious, and they don't dare to be coquettish or play.

When Pu Cao heard this, she naturally responded happily, and the two discussed a few more words about what gifts to give to Mr. before they dispersed.

As a result, early the next morning, Zhang Guier and Shengzi had just gotten together, and before they could load their luggage on the horse climbing plow, Mr. Zhuye, who didn't want the two of them, had already sent the family's little servant to pick them up.

It turned out that Mr. valued these two proud disciples very much, and made up his mind to turn them into two little showmen in March. After the Midyear Festival, he was afraid that the two children would be playful at home, so he hurriedly sent someone to pick him up and teach him.

His son is valued by Mr. like this, and Lizheng and his wife are very happy. Needless to say, in addition to the bundle, I also prepared a very generous meeting gift for my husband.

Pucao naturally didn't break Zhang Gui'er's face, and she also prepared similar gifts. In this way, the two scholars set off with a lot of salutes and full of ambition.

Pucao sent Li Zheng and his wife, turned his head to see the table full of people hiding behind the firewood stack and shed tears, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. After all, the better Zhang Gui's future, the more difficult it is to realize the miss in this girl's heart. I hope Zhang Guier is not a teenager and has a lot of affection for this girl...

As the day dawns on the first month, the snowflakes falling from the sky are getting smaller and smaller. The sun seemed to be much warmer, and the north wind was no longer whining and roaring everywhere, but more gentle than if it was in love. On this day, Pucao invited Li Zheng and the elders of the village to come to the door to discuss the arrangements for each greenhouse in spring.

Li is a person who has a plan in his heart, and several old men are also shrewd and spicy. This winter village made a windfall, which has caused a lot of discussion in the surrounding ten miles and eight villages, and the relatives are even more red-eyed. Those distant relatives who can't be beaten are easy to say, but real relatives like the mother's family, uncles and uncles of each family's daughters-in-law are a little difficult to dismiss.

If each family refines the vegetable seedlings and plants all the fields, it will definitely be a great fortune. But if you swallow it completely without regard for eating alone, you will offend your relatives who are looking for help.

So Li Zheng and the old men pondered, leaving most of the vegetable seedlings in the village to be planted by themselves, and a small part was allocated to other villages. In this way, no one can say whether Nangou Village is not, and each family can continue to make a fortune.

(This severe cold is menacing, my lungs are about to cough out, so uncomfortable, first change a chapter, and then pass on the rest after the revision.) )
