Yan Ran didn't understand what a fixed ceremony was, but looking at the expressions of Ziqing and Lin Kangping, she also knew that it was not a good word, and said: "It's not a fixed ceremony, jade pendant for silver." ”

This time, it was Ziqing and Lin Kangping who laughed, and even Wen San praised: "You really have a delicate heart, and you really have a way to clean him up." It's to exchange for silver, let him exchange it for silver, otherwise, don't give it to him, is it easy for us to read it for a long time? By the way, when I read that everything is going well, why do I need 10,000 taels of silver to exchange.

Wen San made it clear that it was not too big to see the excitement, and the New Year's money of 10,000 taels of silver, this hand, it is estimated that the emperor will not be so big.

"Ten thousand taels, are you robbing money?" Luo Chi listened and jumped to his feet.

"Just 10,000 taels, not a penny." Someone in the room came to talk.

Ziqing was thinking about the emperor, at this time, a person came out of the study, it was actually Li Han, Ziqing noticed that only Dahe and Mama Hua were left in the courtyard, and outsiders all let Mama Hua find an excuse to send away. Ziqing hurriedly sent Shuyan and them into the inner courtyard.

"Master, if you don't bring this, you don't feel distressed. I only have a lot of money a year, and this 10,000 taels is enough for me for many years. Luo Chi muttered, suddenly, his eyes turned around, and he smiled at Yanran: "Little sister, come, come and say hello to this uncle, uncle has more good things." ”

Yanran looked at Li Han and said with a smile: "Uncle has a good New Year, good luck, always smiling, well, and good health, a long life." ”

Li Han's heart was also warm when he said this, but unfortunately he didn't prepare a red envelope, and took off the jade pendant on his body to give it to Yanran, Ziqing was shocked that this thing was not easy to take, it was too hot to hold in his hand, and he was about to shirk it, but Yanran waved his hand and refused, pointing to Li Han's purse, "I want this." ”

Luo Chi saw it with a bitter face and asked, "Why, this uncle is rich, much richer than me." ”

"What my mother said, don't be too greedy, this uncle has already given me a beautiful jade Ruyi, I can't ask for such a valuable thing anymore." Yan Ran Zhengse said.

"Yu Ruyi, when did you give it?" Luo Chi was interested when he heard this.

Li Han glanced at it and said, "Within three days, send 10,000 taels of silver to the child." ”

Luo Chi was stunned when he heard this, and asked, "Really?" It's better than 10,000 copper coins, it's also 10,000. ”

Wen San and Li Han both glanced at him with disdain and asked, "Uncle Luo, do you think you can take out your hand?" ”

10,000 copper plates and ten taels of silver, and it is a lot of reasoning to give a child a red envelope, but Ziqing can also see that these two people want to clean him up, and Ziqing can't get used to his ruffian.

Wen San explained at this time: "Our lord came out for a private visit, it is the practice of the fifteenth day of the first month of each year, and I want to come to your house this year, but it is also because the two of you have done so many things for the court, but our lord feels that the reward for you is too little, so he wants to come to see you, not a monarch or a minister, but a friend." ”

It turned out that this Li Han was playing a pro-people policy, knowing that he owed the Lin family a lot, not mentioning the two life-saving graces, and later factories, mines, gunpowder, and grenades, which did not benefit from Ziqing and Lin Kangping, but then the official pulled Ziqing out Li Han knew that this was not what Ziqing wanted, so he could only be grateful to these two people from the bottom of his heart, and felt that his trip to the Lin family was more decent than giving the Lin family 10,000 taels of silver.

In fact, Lin Kangping and Wen San also think so, Lin Kangping has no shortage of silver, but now the saint can come to his own house in micro-service, that is, he can afford to look at himself and treat himself as a friend, this dignity is not something that can be bought for 10,000 taels of silver.

Ziqing is not interested in these, and it is better for her not to get involved in the affairs between men. Therefore, he saluted and said hello, and took Yanran into the inner room, leaving Mama Hua and Caiyun Chasing the Moon to serve outside.

Ziqing didn't expect that these three people actually stayed and drank a few glasses, Ziqing had to personally order some snacks, all of which were cured meat and sake lees sent from the south, and the wine was just convenient, and several of them had never eaten these things, especially the sake lees fish and sake lees duck palms, a plate was not enough to eat, so Ziqing added another plate.

What he didn't expect was that after Luo Chi finished eating, he cheekily packed two small jars and left, it was estimated that he had a toothache from the 10,000 taels of silver, and he didn't take the opportunity to go with something. Of course, this is Ziqing's speculation, because Ziqing heard Zhong Ying say that the Luo family is not separated, even if there are thousands of family fortunes, I am afraid that it is also in the public account.

Wen San didn't ask for it, it is estimated that it is difficult to explain the source after going back, and when he takes it back to the old lady and tastes it, he will know that it is something from his hometown, besides, he can send his family to do it himself, after all, many of his family members are still from Anzhou.

Ziqing didn't expect that the next day, Luo Chi sent someone to send 10,000 taels of silver tickets, Ziqing looked at the silver ticket that Lin Kangping got back, and asked, "Not a joke?" Did it really deliver? ”

Lin Kangping said with a smile: "You are too underestimate Uncle Luo, can you still break your promise for 10,000 taels of silver?" As far as I know, there are quite a few shops under his name. ”

Only then did Ziqing know that in addition to the family business, they also had their own industries, which was also convenient for them to eat, drink and have fun. For example, Wen San Xinghui thought of running a jade and restaurant to make money for himself.

Ziqing pushed the silver ticket to Lin Kangping and said, "It's better to use it to buy a few shops or Zhuangzi and make a dowry for your daughter." ”

This silver is too easy to come, Ziqing said again: "It's better to see if there are beggars or anything in the city, or get it to Kangyuan to take it in, if you have complete hands and feet, you will stay and do things, and if you are disabled, we will raise it, which is also a merit." ”

"In the winter of the old year, we have already picked up fifty or sixty people, don't worry, I have always remembered it." Lin Kangping said.

While the two were talking, Shuyan led a few small ones and came over and asked, "Mother, you haven't cleaned up yet, grandma should be in a hurry." ”

Today's second day of the new year, it is the day to go back to her parents' house, Ziqing hurriedly changed her clothes, and went to Zifu's side with Lin Kangping, except for Zixi's family who returned to her parents' house, everyone else was there, and Ziyu's family came earlier than Ziqing.

When Ziqing went, she was listening to Chen's words: "I'll go to my house tomorrow, I've been making trouble with my sister-in-law for three days, and it's time to rest." ”

Liu looked at Zifu, and Zifu said: "Yes, you will be a family for a day, and after that, you will still be at my house." ”

Ziqing said: "The fourth year of junior high school is my house, and I happen to have some good things." ”

In Ziqing's glass house, there happened to be a few kinds of green vegetables, and I was reluctant to eat them, so I kept them for guests.

The women were laughing together, Zilu and Zishou and Xia Ganyong were going to participate in this year's Spring Festival, and several people entered Zifu's study, as if they were talking about some current affairs.

I don't know how they discussed, in addition to Zilu, there are also Fu's younger brother and Yang's younger brother, several people often pull Zifu and Zixi to tell them some political affairs, such as food, water conservancy, industry, taxation, minerals, etc., I heard that Zixi wants to follow the example of the West and establish a unified money bank, which is managed by the household department.

Ziqing didn't expect that even Yonglian's husband Zhong Shaobin came to Zeng's house to pay New Year's greetings since the second day of the Lunar New Year, and when he knew that these people were fine, he would discuss these things in Zifu's study, so he often took Yonglian back to his parents' house to get together.

Xiao Yi didn't have to go to school this New Year, he almost grew up at Ziqing's house, pestering Ziqing to teach him some new arithmetic and basic accounting knowledge, and occasionally pulling Shuyan and Yongbai to listen to Zixi and Zifu guide Zilu in their learning, and sometimes quietly accompany Yanran and Shuwei to practice calligraphy.

On this day, the Liu family came back from the banquet outside, pulled Ziqing to the side, and asked quietly: "That Lord Wu of the household department, I heard that he is going to be transferred to Songjiang Mansion by the emperor, but the specific official position is not clear?" Have you heard about this? ”

"I don't go out for a day, where do I know where to go? However, isn't this year yet the year of promotion? Why do you move him suddenly? A good thing or a bad thing? Ziqing asked, Grandma Luo didn't mention it when she came to the New Year, it's only been a few days, how did this come out?

"It's not clear yet, but how many people in Beijing are willing to be transferred? I heard that it was Chinese New Year's Eve, and when the emperor invited these old ministers in the palace, he mentioned it in passing, asking if there was a suitable candidate to go to Songjiang Mansion, and somehow mentioned him, Xiaoyi didn't tell you anything? Liu became more and more suspicious of Xiao Yi's identity, but he couldn't ask this.

"No, he's a kid, what am I telling him to do with this? Do you think it's because Mrs. Wu quarreled with me last time? But this is the decision of the Holy One, how can the trivial things of us who are small people enter the ears of others? ”

Ziqing saw that Liu wanted to speak and stopped, so she continued to ask, "Could it be that there are already rumors outside?" Word got out that I had a fight with her? However, reasoning, this matter has been more than a year, and who is good to turn it up again. ”

"Who's to say it isn't? The quarrel was not a big deal, but after a long time, everyone forgot about it. However, as soon as the affairs of her family came out, some people thought about it, and they thought about it, and when they inquired about good things, they didn't know about it. Liu said.

Ziqing listened, this woman's imagination is already rich, and everything without a shadow can be arranged with a nose and eyes, so she said: "Where to start, I didn't dare to go to the street this year, for fear of encountering these people and causing some unnecessary idleness." Who knows or hasn't escaped? You can get an arrow even if you're lying at home! ”

Liu asked: "Lying down with an arrow, what do you mean?" ”

"Think about it, you were lying down and sleeping at home, and you didn't do anything, and suddenly you were shot by an arrow from outside, hurting the innocent, do you feel wronged?"

"You're really big, you're still in the mood to laugh, but I've learned a new word." Liu said with a smile.

Ziqing really wanted to roll her eyes, where is this big heart, it is clearly self-deprecating.
