As soon as Ziqing divided the feather yarn, the Liu family and Zilu came over, and when they saw Ziqing, they smiled and said, "I thought about what good things my sister should send today?" ”

Ziqing handed them the clothes one by one and said, "The New Year's gift is gone, and you still want to ask for something good?" ”

"Sister, I heard that it costs dozens of taels of silver, what do you want, I'll buy it for you." Zixi smiled.

"If you want to be sincere, you can buy it yourself and send it to your eldest sister's house, and you are still waiting for your eldest sister to ask you what you want?" Liu said with a smile.

"Speaking of which, Qing'er, you go to the warehouse here by yourself, and if there are suitable things, you can pick a few by yourself, and it will be a loss to you every time." Zeng Ruixiang sat next to Ziqing and said.

"Dad, the family doesn't need to be so foreign, I don't lack anything now, I'll talk about it when I need it." Ziqing declined.

Liu saw the dim sum brought by Ziqing and asked, "Yo, where did you get the dim sum?" It's so exquisite, and I'm reluctant to put it in my mouth. ”

Chen and Yang ate it during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but they weren't too surprised, but Fu saw it and secretly sighed, even her father's family couldn't make these things, it can be seen that the grade of giving gifts to Ziqing is definitely not small. However, she thought it was the Wen family.

The family was sitting and laughing, Zhou Tianqing came over to give a New Year's gift, and sent Zeng Ruixiang a bag of glutinous rice and a small bag of sesame seeds, because he knew that Zeng Ruixiang had rented out all the paddy fields, and he definitely did not plant glutinous rice.

Shen Shi saw it and hurriedly said: "You are far away and you are resisting half a bag of rice, how heavy is it?" What about Xia Yu? Didn't come with you? ”

She said that she would come over for two days to accompany her mother-in-law after the New Year. Xiaowen's matter, thank you to the second brother and sister-in-law. In a few years, I will ask him to come and kowtow to you. Zhou Tianqing said.

Xia Yu came back to see Tian in the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, and he didn't stay for a few days before being driven away by Qiu Yu. Because Xia Yu is here. Zhou's work is thrown to Xia Yu, Xia Yu is not in good health, and his face is still thin. barely lasted two days, and Qiu Yu saw that her face was not good, so she hurriedly let her go back to rest.

"Kowtow what? The child is a sensible person, I heard Zixin say that he personally took a piece of learning, but I am afraid that it will take a few years before he can become a teacher. Shen smiled.

Zhou Tianqing sat for a while and then went back. said that he was not worried that Xia Yu was at home alone, and Xiaowen would not go home until the twentieth month of Layue, and Shen Shi was not good at staying after hearing this, so he picked up some food and two pieces of cotton cloth, and sent him back in Zixi's carriage.

"Mother. Xiaowen is really studying medicine with Zixin? Zixi asked.

"Where did I learn medicine so quickly, I heard that I just learned to identify herbs. This kid is okay, although your second aunt is a little pampered, but she knows how to understand the hard work of adults, works as an apprentice in a pharmacy, and has a subsidy of fifty copper coins a month, I heard that except for occasionally buying some snacks for the senior brothers, he never spends blindly. Shen said.

Zixin said that if you study medicine, you will study medicine. I thought he was joking. Also, Zijun, I heard that he also borrowed some light from the Yue family, and found a job to do in the county office, which is not bad, he is more active. Zixi smiled. I still remember that year, six people went to catch the exam, and only Zixi was successful, and now, except for Xia Ganyong who is still persisting, Zishou is still hesitating, and the others have found their own goals in life.

"Don't mention the Zijun, your cousin is out now, that kid, I heard that I came out, every time I go home, I remember to come and see us, I'm afraid that I will come to you to gather when I go home in a few days." Shen smiled.

"Well, but some days, I remember the six of them discussing and making decisions in my gazebo, and it had been years in a flash. When everyone is ready, I'll treat them to a meal. Ziqing said.

Ziqing is still insisting on writing "The Story of Time" recently, but unfortunately, the progress is too slow, mainly because this brush is really not good at it. Fortunately, Ziqing didn't plan to publish a book, just an explanation to herself, and left it to her children in the future.

Just as he was joking, Lin Kangping came over to pick up Ziqing, and Shen said: "There are still a lot of people here, only your eldest brother is missing, why don't you come over for dinner too, everyone is more lively together." ”

"No, I wanted to say it a long time ago, it's the same as before, how good it is for everyone to be together, your eldest brother said, let's get together for the New Year, mother, how much do you say is appropriate?" Liu said with a smile.

"I said no, most of the things were brought by Qing'er, enough is enough." Shen smiled.

"Then our four families are fifty taels, and my sister doesn't have to pay anymore, do you three have any opinions?" Liu Shi said first.

"No, it should be, I'll send it to my mother when I get back." Chen said busily.

Fu and Yang also agreed, and said with a smile: "It's still so interesting." ”

Ziqing smiled and wanted to leave with Lin Kangping, Lin Kangping said: "We still have a lot of things before the year, and we will talk about it after the year." ”

As soon as Lin Kangping's words were finished, he was ridiculed by the Liu family. "Obviously, your family has a big business, we are all small families, and there is nothing to do?" Liu said with a smile.

"Sister-in-law, don't say it, among the few of us, my sister's family business is big, and you can't be convinced." Chen laughed.

"Where, the fourth brother is in charge of such a large glass factory, what else is there for the first and second phases, and people are not idle?" Liu said with a smile.

"Okay, sister-in-law, I can't tell you, starting tomorrow, I'll call the children over, and send Xiaozi over to help cook." Ziqing said busily.

"That's pretty much it." Liu said with a smile.

Ziqing followed Lin Kangping into the house and asked, "What is Lord Fu looking for you today?" ”

"It's not winter, there are more petty thieves, I think I can go to prison to have food and clothing, and now it's the end of the year, and it's time for the assessment, Master Fu said that he picked more than 20 people who look honest, and I want to put them in the village."

"You promised?"

"Well, I picked out more than a dozen good people in the village, and I was going to put them in Yuecheng, just to be replenished, and the people have already been sent over, I asked Lin An to keep an eye on them, and if there are any unrepentant ones, they will all be sent out."

Ziqing meditated on it, and in the past few years, Zhuangli has successively added people on a small scale. Now there are about seventy or eighty people, not counting newborn children, plus this batch, there are really a lot. There are five pairs of relatives who have been divided, and 100 acres of sand land have been divided, and it seems that there are only 400 acres of sandy land in the village, more than 80 acres of paddy fields, more than 30 acres of bamboo shoots, more than 20 acres of lotus roots, and the rest are reservoirs, workshops and mountains.

As soon as Mrs. Wang heard Ziqing say that she was going back to her parents' house for dinner these days, she said: "I just want to ask my grandmother for a favor, my wife and son are also old, and I want to go home to support the elderly with my son, so I might as well quit." ”

Ziqing was still a little reluctant when she heard this, and persuaded: "Granny Wang wants to go home to celebrate the New Year with her son, so she will live at home for a few days, it is better to wait for the Lantern Festival to come later, and there is no need to quit her job, right?" Even if Granny Wang doesn't want to do it, she can still stay and support her old age. ”

"No, it's been ten years, I'm sixty-two this year, it's time to go home and raise my grandchildren, in the future, I miss grandma, just come and see." Xiaozi, I look at this girl well, she can deal with it almost, grandma can pick one more one for her, it's enough. Mrs. Wang said.

Ziqing saw that Mrs. Wang said this, and it was not easy to force her to stay, Wang Huajiang has been taking Lin Xing all these years, but she is not worried that no one will replace him, and the osmanthus saplings in Kangzhuang have been transplanted, and Mrs. Wang also knows that there is nothing serious, so she resigned.

Ziqing had to repay the other party's contract, settle the salary, and seal a big red envelope of thirty taels of silver, and said: "If there is any difficulty, don't hide it, come directly to the door, but if you can help, you will never shirk." ”

Mrs. Wang kowtowed to Ziqing with red eyes and left together, and Ziqing sent Lin Xing back.

After the New Year, the family began to look at Zifu to go home, Shen always had to chant several times a day, Liu said, less than the root of the year, it is estimated that he will not be able to enter the house, and the road is here.

Ziyu and his wife came to give New Year's gifts on the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, and when they saw that Ziqing's family was eating here, they also shouted that they wanted to stay for a day, and sent their subordinates back to say something. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Xia was very reasonable, saying that it didn't matter if she stayed for two days, it was rare to go back to her parents' house, and she would be closer to her brothers and sisters.

Coincidentally, Zixin and Zijun Ziwen came to visit Zeng Ruixiang's family on the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, and several people sent a lot of things together, Shen left them for dinner, Xia Ganyong and a few of them were also familiar with each other, and a few people talked and laughed in the study, recalling the jokes of rushing to take the exam in the past.

At this time, Zifu entered the door, and it was Shurui and Shuyan who went to open the door, and the two ran all the way and shouted back, "Uncle is back." ”

Everyone hurriedly crowded out of the door, Zifu entered the door, saw so many people waiting for him at the gate of the courtyard, and said with a smile: "It's like a post, so complete, you know that I will go home today?" ”

"But no, big brother, I haven't come home in a hurry to see you? It's ok, it's not in vain. Ziyu smiled first.

Shen took Zifu's hand and entered the hall, Liu was busy fetching water to wash his face, Zifu knew what everyone cared about, and first said to Zeng Ruixiang and Shen: "It's decided, go to the capital after the year, and go to the county magistrate of Jingxian County." ”

"Ah, big brother, we can be together in the future, it's better to sell the old house of the eldest brother, let's live together, you buy it next door to me." Zixi shouted first.

"The eldest brother has an official office, what are you yelling about?" Fu Shi pushed Zixi, and Zixi hurriedly said: "I'm also overjoyed." ”

"See the saint?" Zeng Ruixiang asked.

"I saw it, said that I saw that I have done a good job in food and water conservancy in the past six years, and said that there are a lot of barren mountains and wastelands around the capital, so I can do it for three years to solve the problem of eating for the people around the capital, and I said that I am doing well, and I will be promoted after three years, and I will be sent to a remote place to have a good experience after three years." Zifu smiled bitterly.

"Big brother, in the future, the emperor won't see where people can't eat, so he will send you to where you are, right? It's not a good job. Ziqing asked.

"Huh? Big brother, you won't be so miserable, will you? If you really want to send you to a place where birds don't, what can you do? Ziyu asked.

"Phew, good luck, the little girl has no mouth to hide, please forgive the Bodhisattva for her unintentional mistakes." After Shen finished speaking, he glared at Ziyu, Ziyu glanced at Ziqing with grievances, and Ziqing snickered. (To be continued.)
