This is not only Xiaomei's thoughts, but Qiaoniang's is also worried.

Xiao Feng just got up early in the morning, Qiao Niang was waiting outside the door, and when she heard movement in the house, she knocked on the door.

"Master, are you awake?"

Xiao Feng hurriedly put on his clothes, opened the door, and Qiao Niang held a basin of warm water, urging him to wash up quickly. Xiao Feng was puzzled.

"So early, what's the hurry? Did someone call me to go to court? ”

"No, master, tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, you have to go to Miss Liu's house today to give gifts!"

"Huh? Isn't it time to go to the New Year's greeting on the first day of the new year? Xiao Feng was very confused, and Qiao Niang was speechless.

"Master, after you and Miss Liu get married, it is natural that you should go to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year.

Or if you and Miss Liu are not related, you can also visit the elder Lord Liu on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

But now this relationship, you should have visited a year ago, in fact, today is a little late.

I also saw that the master was very busy during this time, so I put it off until today, but I can't delay it any longer. ”

Xiao Feng didn't know much about the customs at this time, although he had the physical memory of the master, but the owner was a nerd and was not proficient in these etiquette and customs. So let's listen to Qiao Niang.

After washing, Xiao Feng had a new problem.

"Qiao Niang, what should I bring to the door?"

Qiao Niang bit her lip, looking very much like Xiao Feng's daughter-in-law who pondered what gifts to take from her relatives every year, Xiao Feng couldn't help but be stunned.

Qiao Niang thought about it for a long time, and finally reluctantly gave up the novel idea.

"Master, Miss Liu's family has everything, and there is nothing too new in our family.

Otherwise, it's still a four-color ceremony, I have already asked Boss Zhang's people to prepare this. ”

Because all the women in the Xiao Mansion and the men have their own errands in the imperial court, except for the old man Qi An, who can go out to do errands, is Lan Da Lan Niang, who may be retaliated against by Yan Shifan at any time.

So Xiao Feng told them that they had nothing to do and went out of the house, if there was anything they needed, just let them help when Zhang Tianci's men came to deliver rice and grain.

These four-color ceremonies are not very fixed, and the more common combinations are meat, wine, salt, and tea. The more expensive ones will replace the salt with sugar, and yes, although salt is expensive, sugar is more expensive.

Even if it is the same combination, in fact, there is a lot of difference between the value of a gift.

For example, if you send a jar of rice wine and a jar of aging, it is definitely not a price. The same is true for meat and tea.

What Qiao Niang asked Zhang Tianci to prepare, it is naturally the best, this four-color gift is not low, if it was placed in the past, it is estimated that it is enough for the three members of the Xiao Feng family to live for a few months.

Now it is not what it used to be, Xiao Feng's income is collected by Qiao Niang, and Qiao Niang is gradually not as stingy as before. Thrifty is still thrifty, but you must not let the master go to the future daughter-in-law's house to be embarrassed.

Xiao Feng nodded to indicate that he understood, and Qiao Niang took out a new robe for Xiao Feng to change into, urging him to eat breakfast, bring a gift and prepare to go out.

Xiao Feng really felt that it was really unnecessary to go out so early, because Liu Tong's house was diagonally opposite the door, and with Xiao Feng's current arm strength, he might be able to hit the housekeeper who probed his brain all day long by throwing a stone.

But Qiao Niang insisted, saying that the sooner you go, the more it means that you are pious, serious and polite, who has nothing to do, and when you get to the house, you may still go out, no sincerity.

Xiao Feng thought for a while and shouted: "Qiaoqiao! Come here, come out with me. ”

Qiao Niang frowned her good-looking thin eyebrows: "Master, what are you doing with Qiaoqiao, she doesn't understand anything." If you want to save face, it's better to let Lan Dad follow you. ”

Xiao Feng smiled and shook his head, Qiaoqiao ran from the front yard with a stick, Qi Jiguang would shout Qiaoqiao as long as he practiced martial arts recently, because Qiaoqiao was there, he was not at the bottom of the force value.

When she heard that she was going to see Miss Liu with the master, Qiaoqiao was very happy, took the initiative to pick up the heavy gift box, and followed Xiao Feng out.

didn't take two steps, but was stopped by the lady of the Wang family and Wang Yingxiang, and the two of them were speechless and stopped.

"You want to ask, can Lao Wang go home for the New Year, right?" It's not hard to guess.

The lady of the Wang family had red circles in her eyes and her voice was choked.

"My lord, I heard that this case is not over, my lord should not be charged, tomorrow is the New Year......"

"Sister-in-law, you don't have to worry, Lao Wang is fine, the most he can do is to make a comment that the investigation is not clear, and he will be punished.

This case is not closed, King Jing did not kill anyone, King Yu did not frame King Jing, the second housekeeper and Zhao Er became scapegoats, Lao Wang, how much burden is not, it is good for him.

However, Lao Wang was arrested and put into the edict prison, not the cell of Shuntianfu, and he had to come out of the edict prison, and the procedures were complicated, and he needed to be approved by Wan Sui.

I've already asked Shen Lian to help urge, I can't be too anxious about this matter, it's best to come out for the New Year, what if I can't come out? A safe family is the New Year, so why care which day is the New Year? ”

Wang Yingxiang hurriedly persuaded her mother: "Yes, what Xiao Gongzi said is right, anyway, my father must be fine, and my mother doesn't have to worry." Qiaoqiao and Yunqing repeatedly stayed with us in Xiao Mansion for the New Year, and I agreed. ”

The lady of the Wang family glared at her, and after Xiao Feng smiled and nodded and left, she pinched her fiercely.

"You unfilial girl, I don't know your mind yet? In order to stay in Xiao Mansion for the New Year, you gave your father out? He's in prison! ”

Wang Yingxiang grinned when she was pinched by her mother, and retorted with a red face.

"Not really! Xiao Gongzi said just now that the procedures for the edict are cumbersome, and you can't just come out if you say it, you have to go through the emperor!

Besides, what is my mother worried about? Didn't Mr. Xiao ask Master Shen to take us to see my father the day before yesterday?

You see that Dad is drinking wine and eating meat inside, and he is discussing with the jailer brother what hurts the most in people, and the jailer brother also praises Dad for his knowledge! ”

The lady of the Wang family sighed: "You are really young and ignorant." What kind of place is that, that's the edict.

If it weren't for Lord Xiao's face and Lord Shen's care, it would be hell!

Why do you think that jailer studied the most painful part of a person's body? ”

Xiao Feng didn't know about the dispute between the two of them, so he had already walked out of the gate with Qiaoqiao, walked along the main street, and walked dozens of steps forward, which was opposite Liu Tong's house.

As soon as the door of Xiao Feng's house was opened, Liu Tong's porter flew over to inform the housekeeper as instructed. The butler immediately ran behind the door and looked out through the crack in the door.

When Xiao Feng and Qiaoqiao walked across the main street, the housekeeper calmed down and said to the concierge beside him:

"I'm staring here, you go and call the master, I'm afraid that Xiao Feng is coming to the door!"

The porter didn't move, and the housekeeper turned around in annoyance and found that Liu Tong was above him, also bent over, but because he was a little taller than himself, his head had the upper hand.

The housekeeper hurriedly bent his waist lower, so that Liu Tong didn't have to be too tall.

"Master, Xiao Feng is here in a while, do you want to let in or not?"

Liu Tong squinted one eye and stared at Xiao Feng through the crack in the door, and he was really a little conflicted in his heart.

Just when he hesitated, Xiao Feng didn't actually walk across the main street, but walked straight forward!

Liu Tong sighed, and felt a little lost, and his sighs of loss echoed.

He couldn't help but wonder, am I so disappointed? Sigh so loudly?

Then he felt that something was wrong, and looked back and forth, startled.

On his left was his wife, on his right was Xiaomei, and under the housekeeper there was Liu Peng, almost squeezing the palm-wide slit of the door.

Liu Tong squeezed out of the encirclement in annoyance: "What are you doing? What kind of system? Go back to the second door for me! ”

Xiaomei ran back disappointed, and Mrs. pulled Liu Peng, pointing at Sang and scolding Huai while walking behind.

"Let you be disobedient, make your mouth hard, and there will be times when you regret it!" As he spoke, he gave Liu Peng two slaps.

Liu Peng was innocently beaten, humming and wiping his tears, and was dragged away by his wife. Liu Tong felt that his wife was scolding himself, but he had no evidence.

And he found that he was not relieved that Xiao Feng did not come over at this time, but a nameless fire hit his head.

"This little brute, what madness? What's the big deal? Isn't it just to be a scholar?

Isn't it just to be a real person? Isn't it just to be a master of entering the world? Isn't it just to be the master of King Yu and King Jing......"

The housekeeper lowered his head and listened to Liu Tong's scolding voice getting lower and lower.

"Sir, that sounds like a great thing."
