A few days have passed, and now it has reached the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, and there are still a few days to reach the age of the year, many shops in Zhaozhou have closed the "door" and do not do business, and every household is preparing to start the New Year.

'Hua' Jiuqing has been idle for a few days, since that day she beat the second master on the spot, no one in this house dares to gossip about her, as soon as she is discharged from the hospital, those people hurriedly bow their heads and dare not look at her, 'Hua' Jiu is happy and comfortable, she knew that Bo was so easy to use as a murderer, she did it earlier, and the province was calculated so many times.

And after the second master was abolished, there were still a few benefits, the biggest thing was the appearance of the hand, but he didn't go to the gambling house at all, and then the second lady who had been making trouble in front of the old lady to invite herself to the court would immediately stop dying, and the second master became a wasted person, she became virtuous, and took care of her day and night.

and the fifth lady Duan, who had been shouting that she wanted her to marry Xi Huayue, never mentioned it again, but 'Hua' Jiu heard that Xi Wuye had gone to tell the old lady, how could he think that the master would not squeak from beginning to end, and no one could 'touch' his mind.

'Hua' Jiu is actually not serious about the New Year, in her memory, it was the time when the mother-in-law 'Yu' clan was still there, a little taste of the New Year, at that time, although it was driven to the side house by the 'Hua' industry, but every year on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the 'Yu' clan would personally make a bowl of rice balls symbolizing reunion for 'Hua' Jiu, with sake lees, fragrant sesame filling, sweet and sour, and even the soup was delicious.

Later, instead of 'Hua' Zhi, she married into the Zhang family in Pingzhou, and in those years on Chinese New Year's Eve, she had to be busy until late, cooking a table of food for the Zhang family, and finally eating some leftovers and cold rice by herself.

Therefore, 'Hua' Jiu didn't look forward to the New Year at all, she felt that it would be like that anyway, what was the difference between it and the past.

And this year, in the Xi family, the fourth lady of the family, Duanmu, began to prepare early, and the house was replaced with new yarn everywhere, and even the 'flowers' planted in the yard were replaced by the kind that only bloomed in winter.

In each room, I have also received new clothes for the New Year, "flower" nine are two small jackets, one pink and white with falling cherry blossom dark lines, with a lake green pleated skirt, and the other is a tender yellow "color" makeup "flower" plain jacket, both of which also take into account the identity of the widow of "flower" nine, the "color" is not bright and "colorful", but it is not the kind of plain and quiet that there is no joy.

The 'spring' students unfolded in turn to let the 'flower' nine pass by, and after the 'flower' nine nodded, he put it away.

"Do you have any clothes, how many are they?" 'Hua' Jiu suddenly remembered to ask, she had never asked about the food and clothing of the four girls around her, and every month in addition to the monthly money, she would send a certain amount of silver to the 'spring' for them to arrange and use flexibly.

Chunsheng smiled slightly, "Girl, don't worry about it, the maid has already arranged it." ”

'Hua' Jiu thought for a moment, "Is the silver enough?" If it's not enough, go to the fulcrum. ”

"Oh, my girl," said the 'Chun' Sheng, who folded the two new sets of clothes and put them into the box without a trace of wrinkle, "what girl is like you who does not trust the money, and you are not afraid that the servants will be greedy." ”

Hearing this, the corners of the nine 'lips' of the 'flower' have risen in an arc, she is not at ease, she has a ruler in her heart, although she has not asked in detail how the silver of the 'spring' is used, but she still knows it in her heart, "Greedy, where can you go?" ”

'Chun' Sheng sneered, and then remembered that he heard the people talk about the things in this mansion during the New Year in the past, so he said to 'Hua' Jiudao, "Girl, the maid has inquired, you have to ask the fifth lady and the old lady every day from the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, until the evening of the Chinese New Year's Eve, have a reunion dinner in the ancestral house, this is the New Year, from the first day of the new year to the fifteenth Lantern Festival, you also need to go to ask for peace." ”

'Hua' Jiu nodded, she was in 'Hua's house before, but she didn't abide by these rules, no matter how people outside invited, she 'exposed' her side at most, and then retreated back to her own courtyard, seeing nothing, and she didn't even go to the Lantern Festival's 'flower' lantern festival.

"Is the 'flower' lantern festival fun?" Thinking of this, it's rare for 'Hua' Jiu to be a little curious.

As soon as I heard the 'flower' nine ask, the 'spring' eyes lit up slightly, and there was a very nostalgic look on his face, "It's fun, girl, when the maid is still at home, in the market, the Lantern Festival can be lively at night, and there are countless bright 'flower' lanterns, all kinds of them, so that you can guess the lantern riddle, and you can get a favorite 'flower' lantern if you guess it......"

'Chun' Sheng said to herself, she didn't hear the voice of 'Hua' Jiu for a long time, she looked at 'Hua' Jiu, and saw that her girl had a 'look' of listening, so serious that she wanted to let people ravage the cheeks that didn't have any 'meat', her heart moved, and she asked carefully, "Could it be that the girl hasn't been?" ”

'Hua' Jiu glanced at 'Chun' Sheng, slowly walked out of the room, and left a sentence, "You have a lot to say." ”

'Chun' Sheng was choked, was she disgusted by the girl?

'Flower' nine to the yard, today is rare to have the sun, she stands in the sun, the back of her hand has a warm feeling, perhaps, she can go to see this year.

She just thought so, and was thinking about whether to ask Xi Qianqian to go with her, when Xia Chang came in and said, "Girl, this is sent by the Feng family's Feng Mo Gongzi." ”

'Hua' Jiu raised his hand, took the letter with a wax seal in Xia Chang's hand, tore it open, and read it at a glance, but the letter was a backlog of lists in the Feng family's spice library, which he meant was a step back, even if he was competing for the location of the 'Hua' family's incense shop in the future, he would appropriately not compete with 'Hua' Jiu, but 'Hua' Jiu needed to help the Feng family solve the backlog of spices that had been returned due to the tearing of the face with the 'Hua' family.

The spices, the 'flowers' Jiuyi, many of them are exactly what she lacks in the Dark Fragrance Building, but this amount is really a bit large, and she estimated in her heart that she 'touched' the cash that the Dark Fragrance Building could move, but it was not enough at all.

She pondered, the current spices here are also going to enter after the New Year, and the polyxiang has not yet caught the line of the Feng family, if she pulls the grandfather to divide the batch of spices of the Feng family together this time, the price can also be pressed, and the most important thing is to be able to get on this relationship with the Feng family, and it will naturally be easier to say in the future.

Thinking of it, she put the letter away, "Tell Qiu Harvest, I'll go to the grandfather's side for dinner at noon today." ”

It's time for her to go to the ancestral house for a walk, since she abolished the second master Xi, the second master has never asked about anything in the house, and even those who usually go to ask for peace in the morning have been sent out by him, 'Hua' Jiu knows in his heart that the second master is still angry in his heart, how can the second master not be angry, that is his biological son after all.

He can teach Second Master Xi a lesson, and he can also calculate him, but if Second Master Xi is rectified by outsiders, he will complain about others, this is the mood of a parent, although 'Hua' Jiu has never had a child, but she also understands, so she is ready, even if she arrives at the ancestral house for a while, the grandfather glares at her and blows his beard, she endures it.

But the old lady neither glared at the eyes of the 'flower' nine, nor did he blow his beard, he took the old lady's hand lightly and was walking in the yard, and at the end he also picked the delicate 'flower' and 'desire' dripping 'flower' to 'insert' in the old lady's silver thread, and then looked at it from side to side, and the master smiled.

The smile is warm and beautiful, and it can't bear to be destroyed.

The old lady already knew that 'Hua' Jiu was coming, but he still took the old lady to walk around the garden before slowly entering the house, and 'Hua' Jiu followed closely with a light smile on his face, "Look, my grandmother's body is 'fine' today, and my grandfather takes care of it so carefully, and others really can't catch up." ”

"When I was young, she took care of me, and when she got old, it was my turn to take care of her." ”

"Holding the hand of the son, growing old with the son, this flounder is so affectionate that the granddaughter-in-law is envious, and it is also a great blessing to be able to get each other." 'Flower' nine words are really heartfelt words, people live a lifetime, both long and short, one person is over, two people are also over, but who knows who can go to the end with themselves, this kind of unrighteous things she has seen too much, in this life, but does not deliberately seek this kind of belonging, there is such a person waiting, that is naturally a beautiful thing, if not, she can also live.

Old lady Xi glanced at 'Hua' Jiu, which meant inexplicable, 'Hua' Jiu didn't see it, took out the letter from his arms, handed it to Taiye, and said, "This is a batch of spices that the Feng family has now, and it needs to be sold urgently, Tai Ye is interested, and his granddaughter-in-law has a small appetite, and she can't eat it in one go." ”

The old lady took it, took the letter paper, and looked at it with a blank eyebrow, Xu is age has gone up, and his eyes are faint, he looked at it for a while before saying, "In addition to the Feng family, where do I buy spices instead of buying them." ”

'Hua' Jiu knew that when the master said this, it was the pressure used by the usual businessmen to let you be a little shorter first, and he showed an indifferent attitude, and then he could take the initiative to bargain.

"Master, granddaughter-in-law is sincerely thinking that once Xixiang passes this year, she will also enter spices, and you and I will eat the ingredients of the Feng family together, and by the way, you can also kill him for a price, and more importantly, the granddaughter-in-law thinks that there are one and two, and there is this love of sending charcoal in the snow, and becoming the master of the Feng family, whether it is in terms of the appearance or type of spices, it is much better than other spice merchants, this truth, the grandfather understands better than the granddaughter-in-law." 'Hua' Jiu didn't call his grandfather anymore, he was a grandfather, and he didn't know that he thought he was really talking about business with outsiders.

Lao Yan, who has been standing behind the old lady, moved his mouth, and there was a deliberate look on his face, he glanced at the old lady's face, hesitated for a long time, and finally didn't dare to open his mouth to suggest, in fact, he felt that what 'Hua' Jiu said was very reasonable, and the incense to this point can almost be said to be established by 'Hua' Jiuyi's hand, and that talent Lao Yan had already seen in his eyes.

"I can agree, but-" The old lady said slowly, there was a heavy feeling in his tone, as if a big stone had been pressed on his heart, making him even breathe, "You must marry Xi Huayue!" ”
