But alas, the Xue family gave birth to Xia Ziwu with a good skin, no matter where she goes, it will always be sideways, and she can't help but look twice. This can always satisfy her vanity, like a proud peacock, showing her colorful feathers to others, but she doesn't know what kind of ugly scene she is exposed behind when she opens the screen.

Xia Zixian is a talented person, poetry is at her fingertips, but there is some splendorism in her stomach, and she likes to chant the wind and the moon. came and went, among those high-ranking officials and nobles, they actually made a name for themselves, and they were called "talented women". This made the Xue family a little complacent, and often showed off in front of An Sheng.

Ansheng never goes to those boring banquets to entertain and publicize, but who doesn't know that there is a daughter Xia Ansheng in Xia Mansion?

There are still people who ask Xue Shi, and Xue's Shi is perfunctory, and occasionally he will mean something in and out of his words, slandering An Sheng and praising his two daughters.

Naturally, Ansheng is ignorant of these things.

An Sheng bought a carriage by himself and asked Xia Yuanwai to ask Wang Bolai to be a coachman, so that he could go back and forth much more freely.

Throughout the month, she was very busy.

There will be a lot of happy events in the lunar month every year, because it is the time of leisure, many families will rush to the lunar month for their children to decide on their relatives, especially the family of the villagers, who know how to calculate, the lunar month is married, and the spring will start to farm and work, saving the bride from eating a winter moon meal in vain.

In a wax month, firecrackers are constantly in the capital, one after another, filled with a strong joy.

An Zheng has already settled the family affairs with the husband's family of the Hanlin Academy. The old lady insisted that An Zheng spend the last New Year at home, and did not go out. But the preparation of the dowry has already begun.

An Sheng is now close to An Zheng, so he prepared a heart for An Zheng alone. Just wait for the day of spring to come, and then come to the door to say goodbye to the makeup.

The mother's uncle's family also handled the son's family affairs and notified the house. An Sheng is not very close to the cousin in this maternal uncle's family, but his maternal uncle Qin Huaiyuan has always been thinking about himself. On the day of marriage, An Sheng asked Leng Nanxian for a day off, prepared a heavy congratulatory gift, and went to congratulate.

The Qian family still saw Qian with open eyes, and when he saw Ansheng, the god of wealth, he greeted him with good words, and he had long left behind the embarrassment he had encountered because of building a house, and treated Ansheng as a guest.

The relatives here, An Sheng didn't know either, so he just took off his shoes and sat cross-legged on the kang with his grandmother to talk, too lazy to be perfunctory.

However, she is now a well-known person in Beijing, and coupled with the propaganda of the Qian family, many people are looking inside with their heads outside the house, more than the women who have gathered around to see the bride.

Then there is Meng Jingxian's family affairs. The scholar named Yang Chengye really came to the door to propose, Meng Shilang was prejudiced against this scholar at the beginning because of that misunderstanding, but after seeing me, he felt that he had only met people and would not live under people for a long time, so he barely objected.

Mrs. Meng was naturally not happy, and she hated to blast the scholar out with a stick, and expressed her opposition categorically.

This matter has been deadlocked for some time, Meng Jinglun and An Ran also persuaded each other, Meng Jingxian was iron-hearted, Mrs. Meng, who is a mother, is always soft-hearted, and slowly gradually relented, no longer so resolutely opposed, and shirked that Yang Chengye would make a decision after gaining fame in the coming year.

In fact, even if Yang Chengye seeks fame, he is from a humble background, and he is not as good as the powerful family in the DPRK, it is not easy for Mrs. Meng to take a step back, and Meng Jingxian has nothing to force anymore.

To An Sheng's surprise, Sister-in-law Feng, who set up the wonton stall, also scored twice, tied the knot with the man who had been taking care of her, and invited An Sheng to eat a handful of candy.

Happy events are one after another, and it is already the end of the year in a blink of an eye. The smell of gunpowder smoke from firecrackers is continuous, and families are cleaning houses, steaming flower cakes, and buying new clothes for children.

An Sheng has been staying in the medicine house, and he doesn't worry about things in the house. But I saw that the house was gradually lit up and renewed.

In previous years, the Chinese New Year's Eve vigil was to have a reunion dinner at the uncle's mansion. But this year, Xia Yuan is promoted and will be eligible to bring his family to the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet in the palace, and the old lady passed the word early, so that the second room does not have to toss to go to the big house this year, and only needs to go to the ancestors on the first day of the first year to worship the ancestors and have a reunion dinner.

Xia Ziwu and Xia Zixian are both looking forward to the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet in the palace, when hundreds of officials gather, it is a good time to show their faces with long insight.

An Sheng thought that with such a good opportunity, the Xue family would take Xia Zihuan with him, but he didn't expect that the Xue family would only choose Xia Zixian. This has nothing to do with the scenery of Xia Zixian these days.

Although Xia Ziwu was born bright and bright, but after all, she was simple-minded, and she didn't think anything about it in the past, but now the Xue family often takes them in and out of those wealthy mansions, which shows the benefits of Xia Zixian reading poetry and books. And Xia Ziwu's every move was somewhat out of place with the nobles around her.

Therefore, this time, the Xue family actually gave up Xia Ziwu and planned to take Xia Zixian to show his face instead.

Xia Ziwu has had to take the lead in good things since she was a child, how could she endure this breath?

She felt that she was one year older than Xia Zixian after all, Xia Zixian would have a chance in the future, and she was the time to discuss marriage, and this kind of occasion and opportunity should be given to herself first.

She protested to the Xue clan three times and twice, refusing to give in. Take out the means that you wanted to marry into the Meng family in the first place.

The Xue family persuaded her bitterly, and Xia Ziwu wanted to go.

In the end, Xia Zixian made a concession.

She has a heart, and whether she can be in the limelight at the palace banquet is actually irrelevant to her.

Xue reluctantly agreed.

Because it is Chinese New Year's Eve approaching, the shop has to take annual leave, as the owner is to seal a red envelope for the guys, figure an auspicious fortune, and then distribute a little rice, flour, grain and oil, etc., to give the guys home a fat year.

These are naturally worried about the shopkeepers, and An Sheng didn't have to ask in person. The meaning of the shopkeepers is that the new store has just opened and there is not much profit, so the meaning is just that.

Ansheng didn't want to treat them badly, thinking that only by being generous to the guys would they be more energetic and loyal in the coming year.

So she came back early from the medicine house today, passed by a few shops, walked around, and then began to count the New Year's goods distributed to the guys.

There are many stalls on the street out of thin air, all of which are all kinds of New Year's goods.

The crowd is also crowded, bustling and very lively.

An Sheng asked Uncle Wang to park the carriage aside and walk around by himself.

Someone shouted at the top of his voice: "Go to the floating building next to you to see the excitement!" ”

Fushenglou, Ansheng knows, is the largest green building in Beijing, it is said that the sisters inside are all beautiful and fragrant, enchanting and charming, and proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, good at singing and dancing, provoking how many kings and grandsons in the capital linger.

The liveliness in the green building is even more reverie.

"What's the buzz?" Immediately, a good deed person asked at the top of his throat.

"I heard that the Oiran lady in it combed today, and someone fought because of this."

"I burned a lot of money, I thought that like last time, a man took too much medicine, and the two of them couldn't be separated? What's so nice about fighting? ”

"I heard that there was a big gold customer who bought six girls at a time, and then came to compete for the Oiran lady, which made others look unpleasant, called officers and soldiers, and surrounded the floating building."

The person next to him was speechless: "What a big appetite, buying so many girls at one time is too violent." ”

"The officers and soldiers raised by the imperial court have nothing to do when they are full, and they even rob girls? Who is so big? ”

"Let's go, go and see, by the way, take a look at how charming that Oiran lady is, and it actually provokes the two of them to be tense."

Fushenglou was not far away, a group of people were flocking to see the excitement, An Sheng was standing in the middle, barely touching the ground, crowded forward by a group of people.

The women on the side of the road scolded hatefully: "As soon as they heard about the excitement in the green building, these people all crowded to see it, and they were not afraid of having a needle's eye." ”

An Sheng couldn't get out for a while, but Shengsheng was crowded and squeezed in front of Fushenglou, and even his sideburns were messed up.

There was a woman next to her who was so squeezed that she lost an embroidered shoe, and kept scolding.

Sure enough, the entrance of the Fusheng Building was already full of knives and guns, and a group of officers and soldiers were armed with steel knives and blocked the entrance of the Fusheng Building.

And the Fusheng Building has closed its doors.

Only the old bustard stood at the door, begging a white-faced boy with a sad face: "Jin Gongzi, look, if there are any grievances, let's talk about it, if you do this, how can I do business in this floating building?" ”

The person known as Jin Gongzi glared: "You old beggar is not verbose, I know that there are people behind you, who will show you mercy, and I will not break in today, nor will I smash your brand." You just have to open the door of your floating building, call out the arrogant guy of Shicai to Ben Gongzi, and let him know how badly you have offended Ben Gongzi! It's just a matter of robbing people with my son, and he is so arrogant and disrespectful, how can he be a turtle with a shrunken head now, and he doesn't dare to show his face? ”

The old bustard arched his hand again and again: "You are so aggressive, and you have brought so many officers and soldiers, where do I dare to open the door?" You dissipate your anger, and then Mom, I will definitely choose two lovely girls for you to accompany you. ”

Jin Gongzi glared: "Do you have to provoke my master, and smash your floating building?" ”

An Sheng couldn't see the arrogance of these rich boys, and he was not ashamed of such a contemptible thing as looking for flowers and asking willows, and he blatantly brought officers and soldiers over to make trouble.

But the old bustard is not a poor person, even if he is beaten, he deserves it.

She turned her face away, trying to squeeze her way out of the crowd and go home.

At this moment, the door of the floating building suddenly opened from the inside.

"In this capital, if you say crazy, I say first, no one dares to say second. I didn't expect to meet an opponent today. ”

As soon as these words came out, An Sheng suddenly stopped, turned his face away, and looked incredulous.
