When it was confirmed that people were asking him, Xiaobai immediately became proud, pointed to his nose and said with a smile: "I am Xiaobai Xianggong, also called Xiaobai, it was the lady who taught me--"

With a pain in his feet, he turned his head to look at Zhuang Meiyan opposite with grievances, rubbed his nose, and said stupidly: "The lady won't let me say it!"

Xi Ruolan chuckled, and Han Niu'er, who was sitting next to her, also laughed. Zhuang Meiyan was helpless, picked up a piece of meat and put it into Xiaobai's bowl, and said angrily: "I know that you have merit today, but you talk a lot, and you can't stop your mouth when you eat." ”

Daddy Xi hurriedly played the round, put down the dry tobacco pouch, and said, "Eat, eat!"

Everyone sat around and continued to eat, and the room was filled with a warm atmosphere.

It was getting late the first day, and Father Xi said that he would not let Zhuang Meiyan leave them at night, and enthusiastically kept them for the night. Xi Ruolan and Zhuang Meiyan were even more intimate, and the two girls covered a bed of embroidered quilts and talked in the middle of the night.

On the second day, Han Niu'er still drove the carriage and quietly picked up Zhuang Meiyan and Xiaobai from the back door.

Last night, Daddy Xi and Zhuang Meiyan talked for a long time, Daddy Xi was very sincere and hoped to hand over the wine shop to Zhuang Meiyan to manage, but Zhuang Meiyan politely declined, only willing to make wine. Father Xi proposed to share it with Zhuang Meiyan again, and was willing to give most of the income to Zhuang Meiyan, but Zhuang Meiyan was unwilling to take more. The two families had an argument.

In the end, Zhuang Meiyan proposed that the two families be divided into five and a half, and let Han Niuer help buy raw materials and transport wine, and Zhuang Meiyan took out one percent of his share to Han Niu'er. Daddy Xi couldn't resist Zhuang Meiyan, so he had to follow this.

The morning light was twilight, and every household was still asleep, and the carriage of Han Niu ran over the silent street. Zhuang Meiyan sat in the carriage, she naturally didn't see that behind the carriage, a pair of sneaky eyes were quietly peeking at them in the hidden place on the corner of the street.

Zhuang Meiyan returned to the "Phoenix Nest" and made wine. From this day on, winemaking became her main work every day, embroidering chamomile occasionally, and as the sake shop became more and more prosperous, and the income from winemaking increased, they did not need to work so hard anymore.

Zhuang Meiyan lay on the kang table and wrote down the accounts, and then put the silver taels into the small drawer of the kang corner cabinet. The mother leaned on the other side of the kang and tilted her body comfortably, looking at Zhuang Meiyan, her face full of kindness and smiles. Under Jiang Yutang's conditioning, his mother's illness is stronger day by day, although his mind is still chaotic, he can slowly recognize people, and his epilepsy has never been committed since he lived in the "Phoenix Nest". This is the most comforting thing for Zhuang Meiyan, her mother's seizures are extremely painful, Zhuang Meiyan empathizes, as long as she can avoid physical pain, as for her mother's spirit - she has been used to it for many years, and she does not feel that there is anything wrong.

Chunju habitually moved the sewing basket and looked for some work to do.

Zhuang Meiyan glanced up at her and said with a smile: "Rest, don't let Brother Niu take over the embroidery work of Silk Village in the future, do that weird tired, your eyes are broken, and if you look back, you will feel distressed again." Are you trying so hard to save a few more money, because you are afraid that I will not be able to give you less dowry in the future?"

Chunju couldn't help but blush, and said angrily: "Madam, look at what Miss said, make fun of our slaves." ”

The mother just smirked, Zhuang Meiyan pursed her lips, pinched the melon seeds in the fruit bowl on the kang table and knocked them up.

Chunju pouted, continued to fiddle with the cloth in her hand, and said, "The slave maid is thinking of making a purse for Duanmu Gongzi, embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water and Tilian. ”

As he spoke, he glanced boldly at his own young lady.

Zhuang Meiyan was still snorting the melon seeds as if she was fine, and after eating the melon seeds in her hand, she put her hand into the plate containing the leather shell next to her, pinched it, and suddenly woke up, and smiled a little embarrassedly.

Chunju bowed her head knowingly, and said in her mouth: "Miss, Duanmu Gongzi's wine has passed three hundred and twenty-one days, and the three brews have been completed, so it's time to get out of the cellar." ”

"Hmm. Zhuang Meiyan replied, looking at the corner of the wall in a daze, absent-minded.

"Shall we ask someone to tell Duanmu Gongzi, Gongzi left an address when he left, saying that if Miss has something to find him, let the people here tell him. Miss, Duanmu Gongzi to you--"

"The older the 'potpourri', the better, don't worry, tomorrow the soil will be buried for a year. Zhuang Meiyan categorically intercepted Chunju's nagging.

Chunju sighed, she couldn't guess Miss's mind more and more, how good Duanmu Gongzi was to Miss, if Miss returned to the capital with Duanmu Gongzi last time, maybe-

She couldn't help but say again: "Miss, last time Duanmu Gongzi asked you to go back to Beijing with him, why did you refuse?"

Zhuang Meiyan smiled, with a solemn look on her face, and she said in a deep voice: "His identity is unspeakably expensive and unattainable, and I just met him in Pingshui." It is not impossible to go to Beijing with him, but it is inappropriate, first, he has lost his identity, and it is inevitable that lonely men and widows will ride in a car; second, the Zhuang Mansion may not welcome us to go back, so why bother to be bored. ”

"Beijing, we will go back sooner or later, what's the hurry?"

"The slave maid looked at Duanmu Gongzi and ...... to Miss" Chunju wanted to speak and stopped, she watched Zhuang Meiyan's face gradually become cold, and finally did not dare to say it thoroughly.

Zhuang Meiyan put on a coat and went straight to the hall, pushed open the door panel, the nearby village every household smoked, in a few days it will be the New Year, every household is busy preparing for the New Year, steamed white flour steamed buns, washed large pieces of meat, plucked chickens and ducks are steaming in the basin, sugar melons for the stove prince, all kinds of snacks for the elderly and children.

Looking into the distance, the horizon is full of endless snow-capped mountains, crystal clear, connected with the sky, mysterious and quiet, snow-white clouds are stacked on top of each other at the end of the snow-capped mountains, as if it is the hometown of clouds.

Eventually, those clouds will leave the embrace of the snow-capped mountains and gallop across the vast sky.

Qiyang Town, Liu's Wine Shop.

A room at the end of the landlord is the residence of the shopkeeper Liu Fatzi, who is not a local, but probably came from the capital a year ago. He knows how to operate, and has some means, in the past year, the Liu family wine shop has done well, there were several wine shops in the town, and they have been squeezed down by him one after another, and now only the "Xi family wine shop" is still struggling to support.

Liu Fatzi put on an old sheepskin jacket vest, reclined on the couch, pinched peanuts, and drank hot old wine, leisurely.

The brown cotton curtain was cautiously picked open, and a man with a roe deer looked inside carefully, and when he saw Liu Fatzi, he immediately put on a smiling face and walked in with his head bowed.

"Master Liu, hehe, the little one is back. ”

Liu Fatzi didn't raise his eyelids, and simply dropped a sentence.

"What did you find out? ”

Li San nodded frequently and said, "Yes, Master Liu, the little one has been checked." ”

Li San approached Liu Fatzi and said a few words in his ear, Liu Fatzi frowned, his mung bean-sized eyes suddenly widened, and he said in surprise: "Really? It's actually her?"

"Yes, yes, that's true, that's what the people in the village say. ”

Liu Fatzi's gaze was uncertain, changed several times, and finally sneered a few times sinisterly.

"I don't care what you are doing, if you block your way to make a fortune, even if you are the daughter of the Jade Emperor!"
