The people in the village who got the New Year's gift were all overjoyed, and those who didn't get it were not unhappy, because after the New Year, it will be spring, and will spring be far away after summer? It's time for those who went to the West to come back.

After the holiday, on the afternoon of the twenty-eighth, Xiao Qingyue and Da Lou handed over the children to Zheng and the grandmothers to take care of, and the two concubines began to prepare for the New Year's goods, fried oil fruits, fried small fish, Da Lou also made sesame oil dumplings, and Xiao Qingyue pinched the dough flowers as last year.

Twenty-nine began to cook big bones again, boiled mutton for later use, and fried spiced melon seeds, spicy peanuts and other snacks.

On the 30th, I started to prepare meals in the morning, and in the afternoon, I took the cooks to make dumplings.

The children are responsible for the pasting of the Spring Festival couplets at home, this year Mobao still let people write Spring Festival couplets to sell, but this year many people learned him to write Spring Festival couplets out of the stall, so the business is not as good as last year, and finally there are a lot left, after he pondered and pondered, he waved his small hand to every household in the village to send a pair of couplets.

The people who got the couplet came to thank him, and his little face bloomed with joy.

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, no one kept vigil at home, and everyone went back to their rooms to rest. On the morning of the first day of the new year, Xiao Qingyue took her two children to visit her in-laws, but saw Zheng's eyes red.

"Mother, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying for the New Year? ”

She didn't ask, Zheng was still red-eyed, and as soon as she asked, tears burst into tears, and she choked up and said, "I miss San'er." ”

"Uh......" When she said this, Xiao Qingyue didn't feel good in her heart, and she also wanted to congratulate her.

But who knows when he'll be back?

Seeing her mother-in-law's voice crying louder and louder, Xiao Qingyue thought about how to comfort her, she was not good at these, and at this moment, there was a sudden sound of firecrackers outside.

Immediately after that, the little guy in front ran back, shouting as he ran, "Old lady, madam, a good thing, a great thing, our uncle has been promoted, and the uncle will become a marquis!" ”

"Ah???h

Xiao Qingyue immediately stood up, and so did He Lichang, who asked anxiously, "How do you know?" ”

"Someone from the government is here, just outside."

When Xiao Qingyue heard this, she hurriedly took a child from Zheng's arms, and said to He Lichang, "Dad, let's go out and have a look." ”

Zheng stopped crying, hugged the little honey and walked out.

When she got outside, Xiao Qingyue saw that the person who came turned out to be the county magistrate, and the guards next to the county magistrate were He Jinhuai's side.

What's going on? How did these two come together?

Without waiting for Xiao Qingyue to ask, the guard stepped forward, "Congratulations to the old lady, the old lady, the master, he was promoted to a marquis by the emperor, and he can be hereditary for three generations, the lady has become the marquis, and the emperor has also sealed the old lady's order!" This is a letter from the master who asked his subordinates to bring it back, which should have arrived a few days earlier, but it was delayed for a few days due to heavy snow on the road. ”

Hearing this, Heli took the letter first, read it at a glance, and said in a loud voice, "Good, good, great!" ”

"What did the third child say? You read the letter to us. Zheng urged urgently.

And he read it out in public.

Zheng was very happy after hearing this, and said to Xiao Qingyue, "I'm also a lady, and I can also wear fateful clothes, happy!" ”

"Congratulations, congratulations!"

Zheng grinned, "Rejoice and rejoice, haha!" ”

Xiao Qingyue also smiled, turned her head and asked the county magistrate on the side, "You are also here for this?" ”
