Lord Qin listened, and said to the Shen family: "Fortunately, fortunately, I have heard of Mrs. Zeng's wisdom for a long time, and Neiko has disturbed me many times. Qin Mou personally came to the door another day to have a few drinks with Master Zeng, and he would not disturb his wife's reunion today. ”

Shen Shi bowed slightly and said, "My lord, please take care of yourself, go back and say hello to Mrs." ”

Lord Qin took the two of them upstairs, Lin Kangping took a closer look at the two of them, and then led everyone up the stairs.

Back home, Lin Kangping said to Ziqing: "I know one of the two people around Lord Qin today, who is the master of the prefect of Yuecheng, it seems that this Lord Qin is really an old acquaintance with the prefect of Yuecheng, I said how can this Mrs. Qin come to see her mother and us well, or do you want to know our hole cards?" ”

"Did the master recognize you?" Ziqing didn't see Lin Kangping greeting the master, so she asked.

"I shouldn't have recognized him, I saw him on other occasions at that time, and he didn't appear at the meeting with the prefect of Yuecheng. There must be something wrong, I wonder if it has anything to do with us? ”

"It's related to us, it's just that idea business, he has given up, is it possible that he still wants to regret it?" Ziqing asked.

Before Lin Kangping could speak, Ziqing suddenly thought of something and asked, "Could it be that Mrs. Qin found out that our backstage was not as tough as they thought, and the prefect of Yuecheng regretted it?" I ask you, how much did you honor him in the previous year? ”

"I used to do business with David, and I didn't know him, and I didn't look down on him as a businessman. This time, our family has become bigger, and if we have something to ask others, we will honor him for 5,000 taels of silver. Also, he went into the dry shares. It's only been half a year, and he has also received a dividend of 5,000 taels of silver. Not only our family, but these officials, under the banner of shareholding. Waiting for dividends in vain, you will get a lot of silver a year, otherwise. Pointing to him for a profit, who can he afford? ”

Ziqing thought about it, Lin Kangping worked hard for more than half a year before he got back 20,000 taels of silver, and 10,000 taels for the prefect's family, what about other families? It can be seen that what is given out is more than what you earn. It's never just businessmen who are looking for profit.

Ziqing and Lin Kangping sighed, and the two also let go of the matter.

On the morning of the third day of the new year, Lin Kangping and Ziqing took Shuyan to Baitang Village from the small road, the Shen family was no longer what it was back then, and the three brothers bought the vacant land by the pond. Three large houses with courtyards were built in succession, and today, this feast is placed in the courtyard.

The Shen family is really lively today, the five generations are in the same house, there are more than 80 people in total, there are many children Ziqing doesn't know, and Ziqing is called her aunt, Ziqing is really embarrassed to agree, only in her twenties. I actually became a mother-in-law.

Ziqing accompanied her cousin and sister-in-law to laugh, at noon, the He family accepted everyone's kneeling and wanted to give each junior longevity money, Shen Baofu smiled and said: "Grandma, it's like this every time." Why don't we change it this year, Grandma took eight pieces of money and threw it into the yard, let's pick it up, who picks it up more, whose blessing is great, okay? ”

Shen Jianren glanced at Shen Baofu and said, "If you dare to love you, who can rob you?" ”

"Dad, what's this, I only have two hands in general, and it's not really robbing, it's just a fun, this is grandma's happy money, who can take it? What a blessing I have to give my son to wear! ”

He Shi was also childlike when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Okay, it's up to you, you also picked it up and put it on your body." ”

"That's nature, I'm also waiting to live to be ten years old." One sentence made everyone laugh, and they called for their sons and daughters, gathered the people, and asked the old lady to scatter money.

Shen Baofu moved a chair and carried He to the courtyard, the dustpan on the table was full of copper coins, He was dressed in new clothes, full of pearls, very rich, looking at the people in the courtyard with a smile, and said with a smile: "First of all, the little ones are here, those under ten years old." ”

Shuyan took Yanran's hand, 138 saw that Shu Wei was also hand in hand, Shen Jianshan helped He's and threw money out of the house, the children leaned over and grabbed it with a smile, and even the children who watched the excitement outside the door also rushed in to pick up the money, He became more and more happy when he saw it, and even pointed to Shen Jianshan to sprinkle some outside the door, saying that it was also a good fate.

When Ziqing and they were busy picking up money, the atmosphere in the yard reached **, you pushed me to let it, laughter continued, and at this moment, someone outside the door shouted: "Someone is coming to worship Shou again, or is it coming in a carriage." ”

Shen Jianshan listened to it and thought secretly, the one who should come is also here, who else can there be? Hurriedly crowded to the door, the carriage had already arrived at the door, and a mother-in-law and maid came down, Ziqing recognized it as Mrs. Qin's mother-in-law, so she stepped forward to say hello.

The mother-in-law curtsied and said, "Our lady knows that today is Mrs. Shen's birthday, and I wanted to come in person, but I was afraid that everyone would not feel comfortable seeing her, so she restrained herself and specially sent the little one to kowtow to the old lady for her." ”

Ziqing listened and said: "This can't be helped, my wife is in charge, my grandmother and her old man are just a village woman, this can't stand it, if you really want to meet, I have to give my grandmother a salute to my wife." ”

"The little one is just acting on orders, grandma don't be embarrassed about the little one, Mrs. said, since she recognized her sister, her sister's mother's birthday, just like her own mother's birthday, a family gift is still necessary." Qin Pozi said.

Ziqing had to bring her to He's when she heard this, someone had already prepared a futon, Qin Pozi kowtowed to He's three times, and Xu gave him a purse on the side. Seeing that there were copper coins on the ground, Mrs. Qin smiled and said, "The old lady has a good day, and we are also happy." ”

As he spoke, he picked up a few copper plates from the ground, took the purse in Xu's hand, and the little maid behind him beckoned, and the two little maids at the door carried in a thing, Qin Pozi gave the gift list respectfully to Xu, Xu handed it to Shen Jianshan, Ziqing looked at the things on the table, it was ninety-nine hanging of longevity noodles, a handle of jade Ruyi, and four ends of the ceremony, this gift is not heavy.

After Mrs. Qin kowtowed, she stared at He's clothes, Ziqing naturally noticed, exchanged a look with Lin Kangping, and smiled at Mrs. Qin: "Let Mama Qin smile, please go in and have a cup of hot tea?" ”

Mrs. Qin said with a smile: "Then it is better to be respectful, my wife is also a toefu, and she can eat a cup of longevity tea from the old lady, and after a while, she will also ask for a cup of longevity wine to eat." Don't bother, I'll just be next to the old lady and be happy. ”

Xu Shi hurriedly moved a stool when he heard this, someone had already served tea, and Mrs. Qin didn't dare to hold it up, so she hurriedly took it over and said with a smile: "This is a pain in the old woman's life, thank you." ”

After eating tea, Mrs. Qin was about to say goodbye, Xu's stay was a guest, and Ziqing also smiled: "Didn't you say that you want to ask for a cup of birthday wine to eat, why do you have to leave?" ”

"That's a bit greedy, it's a joke. I won't delay your business, it's still the old lady's blessing, look, there are many grandchildren here, it's really enviable. Mrs. Qin said and stood up and said goodbye.

When He saw that the people were gone, he asked Ziqing, "Who is her wife?" Why do you still say that you are your mother's sister? ”

Ziqing listened, so she had to explain, "My mother didn't mean this, she is the prefect of Anzhou Mansion, but she is one level higher than my mother's fate, but recently, she and Mrs. Fu have come very diligently and are familiar with each other, presumably they also happened to go to my house today, and they know that grandma has a birthday, right?" ”

Ziqing didn't dare to tell the He family those troublesome things, but the He family and everyone were shocked when they heard that it was the prefect's wife who sent someone to kowtow and give gifts, the prefect is the biggest parent official in the Anzhou Mansion, and the Shen family is a real commoner, where have they seen any official people, of course, except for Zifu and Zixi.

Shen Jianshan handed the gift list to Ziqing, Ziqing looked at it and said, "Since it was delivered, just take it, this gift is not heavy, I will tell my mother when I go back." ”

Shen Baofu saw it and said, "Everyone is gone, what should we do or what should we do?" If no one picks up the copper coins on the ground, I can pick them up, but don't say I didn't remind everyone. ”

Ziqing also smiled and agreed, and everyone started to play again, for them, the prefect's wife was like a cloud in the sky, and it didn't match them at all, but she just looked at Shen's face and sent someone to entertain.

After returning from the Shen family, Ziqing went back to her mother's house first and told her about Mrs. Qin today, and the Shen family listened and said, "She didn't come today?" Where did you get the news? ”

At this time, Ziqing and Lin Kangping were also confused, and Shen asked, "Could it be that in the restaurant that day, the prefect heard what we said?" ”

Ziqing thought for a while and said, "But, don't I remember that we mentioned grandma's birthday?" ”

Zeng Ruixiang listened and said, "Why don't you go home first and see what's going on at home?" ”

Ziqing listened and went home with Lin Kangping, Lin Kangping saw Xiaofan and asked, "What post is there today?" ”

Xiaofen replied no, Ziqing asked her to ask the gatekeeper, but outsiders came to visit, and Xiaofen went by herself. Later, he came back and said, "Lord Qin sent someone to send a post, let the master go over today, Lin Mai said, the master is not at home today, go out to make a birthday for the old lady, Lin Mai gave the post to Xiaobai, Xiaobai replied, the post is in the study." ”

However, Lord Qin is the prefect, is it necessary to take these little things to heart? Could it be that the prefect of Yuecheng is in trouble? Want to find Lin Kangping to intercede? However, Lin Kangping didn't receive the news from Yuecheng?

Not to mention Ziqing and Lin Kangping's speculation, over there, Shen and Zeng Ruixiang also speculated, Shen said: "Is it almost the end of the year, they want to meet Fu'er and Xiaosi?" ”

"However, if they want to know Fu'er and the two, they should also go to our house, what does it have to do with Kangping? Look at these days, what kind of prefect lady, I don't know how enthusiastic she is for Ziqing and you, it's not normal at all. ”

Shen Shi sighed when he heard this: "I can also see this, according to my meaning, when we go to Beijing next year, Ziqing's family will also follow, otherwise, leaving her family here, I am also not at ease, Kang usually runs out, Qing'er is also a scheming person, and there are still a few of them in the capital to protect it."
