In the winter in Yangzhou City, there is a hearty atmosphere throughout the year, and when everyone meets, they will ask each other for safety, and then talk about what has happened recently.

What happened on the street where the officials lived, although it was said to happen in the middle of the night, was so loud that the people in the city were very concerned.

They would walk down the street and take a look around the yards where the fire had burned, so they could see it clearly when they came in.

The people in the city used to muttered a lot in private because the government was too strict, but now looking at the courtyard of the official's house, everyone invariably stopped talking.

After all, ordinary people only want to live a peaceful life in their hearts, and those gangsters dare to go to the officials' houses to set fires, and when they are on a whim, they will not let ordinary people go, and their yards cannot withstand arson.

As a result, for a while, families had the intention of watching over each other, and then they also paid more attention to the situation in the homes of their neighbors.

After the Gu family went through again and again, the Gu family was safe and sound, and the neighbors felt that the Gu family was lucky, and they were even more happy to come to the Gu family.

Mrs. Ling whispered to Cheng Kejia: "Mrs. Gu, at night, my family wants to come to your house for a walk. ”

Cheng Kejia looked at her with a surprised look on her face and said, "Mrs. Ling, with you by your side, your family can come whenever you want." ”

Mrs. Ling looked at the expression on Cheng Kejia's face, and she said to Cheng Kejia with a little embarrassment: "Mrs. Gu, I think your family is lucky, there are two generals in succession, and this courtyard is yang. ”

Cheng Kejia could only nod lightly when she looked at Mrs. Ling, but she still explained to Mrs. Ling that as long as Mrs. Ling was with her, and the time was not too late, she would welcome them to come together.

Cheng Kejia originally only thought it was a coincidence, and she told it as a joke to the two women and the lady in charge.

The lady in charge also did not understand the same, and she thought that the customs of Yangzhou City might be different from that of the capital.

The two women understood, and they explained to Cheng Kejia with a smile: "Madam, after such a thing in other people's families, it will take a long time for the family to be flustered before they can ease up.

You have experienced this kind of thing three times, and after you have been delayed for two days, the people in the courtyard can live a good life again, and I also think that the Cheng family's family style is quite good, and it can withstand big and small things. ”

After the two women came, they figured out that almost all the people in the courtyard of the Gu family were from the Cheng family, only the little girls were the Gu family who came in later, and they were carefully trained by the big girl from the Cheng family.

Cheng Kejia has never had the heart to delve into things that she doesn't understand.

When Lord Ling and his wife came, Gu You was not at home, Cheng Kejia came forward to greet him, and Mrs. Ling blushed and explained to Cheng Kejia: "They want to go around the front yard and the back yard, I don't know if it's feasible?" ”

Cheng Kejia nodded gently, there is nothing special about the front yard and the back yard of the Gu family, their husband and wife have the heart to enjoy the scenery vaguely in the night, and she, who is the host, is naturally the host and the guest.

Lord Ling had a smile on his face from beginning to end, and after he nodded lightly at Cheng Kejia, he no longer glanced at Cheng Kejia, and with such a performance, Cheng Kejia also felt that he was a bit like a gentleman in acting.

After Cheng Kejia accompanied the couple to the front yard and then the backyard, when Cheng Kejia was about to invite the couple to stay and drink a cup of tea, Lord Ling politely said that he would wait for Gu Youze to come back and drink this cup of tea.

The husband and wife walked around Gu's house, and they were still walking around in the mist of the night, Cheng Kejia couldn't understand what they were doing, and the woman in charge also had a look of incomprehension.

The two women vaguely understood some things, but things that Lord Ling and his wife had never said, so they naturally couldn't guess.

Cheng Kejia never really took this matter to heart after that, she quickly put her mind on family matters.

During the day, the little girls still came to Gu's house to play the piano, and their piano sound was much more pleasant, and they played music with each other, and for a while they were able to attract some scholars to stand at the corner of the street and stop and listen.

When the ladies talked to Cheng Kejia, they naturally mentioned the arrangements for the New Year, and Cheng Kejia always listened to them with a smile on her face, and then adjusted the arrangements for some things in the house.

Cheng Kejia was secretly anxious in her heart, and Gu You had never received a letter from home, so she was always a little uneasy in her heart.

She had to smile as usual in front of people, but she often sighed softly behind them, and she said to the woman in charge, "There is no war at the front, and I am not worried about him." ”

The lady in charge looked at Cheng Kejia's expression, she could only arrange things at home more properly, and she whispered to Cheng Kejia: "Master, will those two masters celebrate the New Year in Yangzhou City?" ”

Cheng Kejia privately inquired about the news with the two women, and the two women meant not to know for the time being.

Cheng Kejia whispered to the lady in charge: "Whether they are celebrating the New Year in Yangzhou City or not, we must show a welcoming attitude here." ”

The lady in charge nodded lightly and said, "The New Year in Yangzhou City can't be prepared too long in advance, the weather here is much warmer than in the capital, and we can only prepare some things that can be stored first." ”

Cheng Kejia nodded lightly, in fact, the preparations before the New Year are roughly the same every year, but the details are slightly transferred.

Cheng Kejia's days in Yangzhou City, she understood the words of the third old lady of the Cheng family even more, there were no real stupid people in this world, but some people had hearts, and some people never cared.

Cheng Kejia feels that being a director of the house is the same thing, there are precedents to follow, there are rules to follow, and everything is careful, and things at home can be handled clearly.

The gifts that Cheng Kejia wants to prepare for the New Year this year are only the two more garrisons outside the city and the guards of the official palace in the city, and others have saved the lives of the Gu family, so this gift must be prepared practically.

Cheng Kejia deliberately looked for an opportunity to express her thoughts to the prefect's wife, she didn't think about connections, she just wanted to express the heart of the guarded to those who did their duty.

Mrs. Prefect understands what Cheng Kejia means, she thinks that Cheng Kejia is very thoughtful, and in such a matter, she knows what she means to ask her, which means to show sincere respect to her.

After the prefect's wife told Cheng Kejia some taboos, she whispered to Cheng Kejia: "My idea this year is to give silver and ask the government to purchase a batch of food for full-time use, so that my intention is expressed, and it is also safe and proper." ”
