Time flies, like a white horse.

Twenty days have passed since that day of Li Qianning's birthday.

December 21, the New Year is approaching, and there is more and more New Year's flavor in Qidu.

The streets are full of people selling and buying New Year's goods. Yiyang District, Liujia Lane, in Zhang's house. In the open space in the front yard, there is a square table, on which are placed the four treasures of the study, and the cut red paper.

Zhang Ning was responsible for writing the couplet, Xiuxiu was responsible for studying the ink, and sorting out the newly written couplets.

Zhang Ning was dressed in brown clothes and cloth shoes, dressed as a common man. Liu Xiuxiu has black hair combed in a bun, wears a washed slightly whitish green skirt, and pink embroidered shoes, simple but can't hide her pretty face.

There are quite a lot of literate people in the whole Liujia Alley, but there are few people who read books, and even fewer can write good words. Zhang Ning has a good handwriting since he was a child, so many villagers asked Zhang Ning to write couplets.

The Zhang family has been kind to the villagers for generations, so Zhang Ning also did not refuse.

It's been seven or eight years now.

In addition to the couplet, Zhang Liu's family also prepared red lanterns to hang in front of the door when they were thirty. Two large pieces of paper, with the word Fushou written on them, were pasted on the two doors.

Whenever Xiuxiu is approaching the end of the year, she will help Zhang Ning deal with it together.

At the end of the couplet, there was a knock on the door.

"Where is my nephew?" said Jin Shen, the son of Wuyang Hou. When Zhang Ning heard his voice, his face showed a little helplessness, thinking that there are really many rights and wrongs in this world, and once it is contaminated, it will not be able to tear off the dog skin plaster.

Since that day's banquet, Zhang Ning participated in Li Yuanxiong's banquet of being crowned prince, and the intersection with the Duke of Ningguo and the Hou family of Wuyang is not mentioned for the time being.

During this time, the New Year is approaching, and there is an endless stream of people visiting in front of Zhang's house. The people who came were all dignitaries, riding horses and sitting in sedan chairs, accompanied by slaves.

provoked the neighbors to look sideways, speculating whether Zhang Jialang'er would climb to the rich and prosperous.

caused a lot of trouble for Zhang Ning's life.

"Xiuxiu, go open the door and let people in. Zhang Ning wrote the last couplet and said to Liu Xiuxiu.

"Good. Liu Xiuxiu nodded obediently, went to open the door and invited Jin Shen in. Zhang Ning asked Liu Xiuxiu to give the written couplet to the blind date and let her leave, and then invited Jin Shen to sit in the lobby.

Jin Shen's face was full of red light, his body was covered with a jubilant red robe, and he wore a gold crown inlaid with large pearls on his head.

"Uncle Jin came to visit, what is the matter?" Zhang Ning didn't serve tea, but just asked Jin Shen to sit down and said lightly.

Speaking of which, Jin Shen is righteous, has a good temper, and is good at dancing with long sleeves. Zhang Ning's senses for him are okay, but it's a pity that he is very thick-skinned, and he didn't mention it by sealing his elders, and he came to his house to harass him twice in three days, Zhang Ning didn't get tired of it, so he showed a cold face.

Jin Shen was very thick-skinned, and he didn't feel embarrassed, but the smile on his face became more and more prominent. He took out a small box from his big sleeve, a wooden box that looked ordinary, and said, "The New Year is approaching, and my uncle has come to pay New Year's greetings to my nephew." ”

Zhang Ning rolled his eyes rarely when he heard this, even if it was a New Year's greeting, it was his nephew who gave his uncle a New Year's greeting.

What a mess.

"I don't care if I accept my uncle's courtesy, my uncle should take it back. Zhang Ning said.

"Don't say no yet. Jin Shen said with a smile, then opened the box and said, "I know that your family has a vast background, and rare treasures are not rare. But after thinking about it, you may not have this thing at home, so I sent it over. ”

Inside the box that Jin Shen opened, a porcelain bottle was revealed, which seemed to contain pills.

Jin Shen said again: "This is a beauty pill, which can make a woman's skin supple and radiant." It's not expensive, but it's hard. Just to give a little lover. ”

After finishing speaking, Jin Shen squeezed his eyebrows at Zhang Ning again, where did he look like an uncle. Zhang Ning thought to himself that he was worthy of being a long-sleeved dancer, and this guy saw that I had a close relationship with Xiuxiu, so he saw the stitches.

But Zhang Ning really ate this set, thinking that if this thing was given to Xiuxiu, Xiuxiu would definitely fly happily. And Zhang Ning has also been appointed, this Wuyang Hou Shizi calls himself an uncle, this is a dog skin plaster that is very tight, and it can't be torn off, and it won't be accepted in vain.

Anyway, he won't return the gift.

Zhang Ning then nodded and said, "Admit it." ”

Jin Shenmei smiled, as if he had encountered a great happy event.

Speaking of which, Zhang Ning was really hot during this time, and at Li Qianning's birthday banquet, he decided the whole thing with one word, and put the wealth in the hands of Li Yuanxiong.

Everyone guessed Zhang Ning's identity and what kind of energy he had, but after investigation, they found that it was not ordinary. But the magnates felt more and more that the Zhang family was not simple, so many of them came uninvited and came to visit.

But most of them were closed, and only he was welcomed in three times and twice.

In fact, he didn't know what kind of energy Zhang Ning had, and he would decide what he said. But he knows that being good with Zhang Ning is only good and not bad, so be cheeky.

accepted the gift, but Zhang Ning's expression was still faint. But he couldn't scare Jin Shen away, so he cheekily said a lot to Zhang Ning before he got up and said goodbye.

Before leaving, Jin Shen said to Zhang Ning again. Wait a minute, Li Yuanxiong, Li Hussar's brothers and sisters will also come for a hundred years. Sure enough, not long after Jin Shen left, Li Yuanxiong and Li Hussar's brothers and sisters came.

The two brothers and sisters each rode horses, brought a large number of slaves, and brought many large and small boxes to visit.

"Brother Shi. Li Yuanxiong bowed.

"Brother Zhang. Li Hussar grabbed Zhang Ning's arm and called out very kindly. The brother and sister are still the same, handsome and pretty.

But it was very different from the first meeting, the two brothers and sisters were quite depressed on their foreheads at that time, but at this moment they were only happy. Zhang Ning treated them much better than Jin Shen's cheap uncle, patted the back of Li Hucai's hand, and said with a smile: "It's a big girl, don't be so frivolous." ”

"What's the matter, the elder brother of the Zhang family is not an idle man. Li Hussar grabbed Zhang Ning's arm tighter, and said in a coquettish voice.

Speaking of the Li family's brothers and sisters' senses for Zhang Ning, it really changes day by day. When I didn't see Zhang Ning, I thought that my eldest brother Li Yuanba had made an inexplicable friend, and when I first saw Zhang Ning, Sanxian Tea was shocked.

When I saw Zhang Ning again, I was really grateful.

The mother explained to the two that they should treat Zhang Ning like a brother. This time to visit the early years, Mrs. Jin prepared large boxes, small boxes, mostly clothes, and ingredients.

Because Mrs. Jin knew that the Zhang family had a vast background, and the treasures were not rare, but Zhang Ning lived a hard life, so she gave more food and clothing.

If it weren't for the fact that she knew that the Zhang family had not invited slaves and maids for generations, Mrs. Jin would probably have to send a well-trained maid, a slave, to serve Zhang Ning. If Zhang Ning has a heart, the Hou family of Wuyang and the Ningguo family will jointly invite the Son of Heaven to protect Zhang Ning's official position.

In the future, it is also idle to worship the marquis and create a family of eunuchs.

It's just that Zhang Ning has no intention.

Yuanxiong, the hussar was grateful to Zhang Ning, but also worshipped. This brother of the Zhang family is not a few years apart from them, but he can already turn the clouds and rain.

is more than a hundred times stronger than this Qi Du Gongzi brother.
