Chapter 3117 Chinese New Year in three places

Bai Shan listened to him in a good mood and complained for a while, and then he said, "Tomorrow is thirty, shall we celebrate the New Year together?"

Bai Erlang said there was no problem and asked, "Where did you go?"

Everyone looked at Yin Or who was sitting beside him.

Yin may have no opinion, saying that he can listen to them all.

So after a bit of discussion, everyone decided to stay in the mansion of Mingda and Bai Erlang, because that is the most spacious.

Mrs. Qian went there to prepare it early in the morning. Mrs. Zheng also had people bring a lot of ingredients from her home. The whole mansion was smelling good all day long.

Bai Shan and Zhou Man didn't see anyone today, so they were very comfortable playing leaf cards on the couch in the side room.

When Bai Shancai casually mentioned the salt field, Zhou Man exclaimed, "It's agreed that we won't talk about business today."

She felt that if Bai Shan talked about business, she would not be able to bear it.

Bai Shan held back and changed the subject, "I wonder if our New Year's goods will be sent back to the capital?"

Yin Or calculated the time and said, "It should be here."

Because they were too busy, although the housekeeper reminded them early, they were a little slow in preparing the New Year's goods, so they sent them out too late.

Especially Yin Or, since the Yin family has been in the twelfth lunar month, he has been urging him to return to Beijing, but he has been reluctant to go back.

The New Year goods sent by Bai Shan and the others are not expensive, they are all special products of Qingzhou.

The Zhou family doesn't pay attention to these things. They feel that the behavior of sending New Year's goods to Qingzhou all the way is silly. Again and again, it's a waste of money, so how much money will it be wasted?

So they decided to send money!

When a guard or bodyguard returned to deliver the letter, the old Zhoutou and Qian Shi received a box of money to bring to others, and wrote to Zhou Man, "Buy what you need, don't starve the child in your stomach, and rest more. Don't tire yourself out."

Mrs. Liu, who was planning to pack up the New Year's goods for Bai Shan and the others, couldn't help but hesitate for a while. In the end, she followed the example of Lao Zhou's family and sent money over. She was not afraid that the two children would be hungry, but said to Bai Shan, "I know you two. Now is the time to spend money, if you don’t join hands, you will tell your family that although the public and private are to be separated, you can’t find money for the construction of the wharf, so it’s okay for the family to subsidize one or two first.”

The money given by Mrs. Liu could not be brought by an escort or a bodyguard, so in the end, a few more servants were sent to bring a carload of money.

Also because of the money given by Mrs. Liu, Bai Shan has the confidence to tell Cheng Jiulang that half of the cost is accounted for.

It is true that every family in the capital received the New Year's goods from Qingzhou today.

The guards of the princess' mansion went directly to the palace and presented the gifts that the princess and the concubine had prepared to give to everyone.

Bai Shan and Zhou Man consciously prepared gifts for the emperor, the prince and others, and sent them to the palace together with Ming Da's. It was indeed a local product, and it was not very expensive.

In fact, if Ming Da and Bai Er were not in Qingzhou, they would send New Year's goods to the palace, and they didn't want to give the royal family a gift.

Zhou Man did not give gifts to Xiao Yuanzheng this year, and only had them bring them to relatives.

Old Zhou Tou opened the box curiously, took out a bronze mirror from inside, and was speechless for a while.

The guard who brought back the New Year's goods said: "Qingzhou's bronze mirrors are well made and cheap. The lady felt good after using them, so she bought a large bronze mirror for every lady in the family."

Not only can the head and face be taken in, it can be inlaid, and the half of the body can be put in, and it can be seen clearly. It is a great tool for trying clothes and jewelry.

The guard said with a smile: "The lady and the princess both like it, thinking that the little ladies will also like it, so the little lady also bought two sides for the family, hehe..."

Old Zhoutou silently put down the mirror and went to look at other things, and finally found something he liked, "Is this wine?"

"Yes, this is personally selected by the master, saying that it is a famous wine in Qingzhou, you can give it to the uncles and gentlemen."

One of the uncles, Shizu Lang, expressed his interest, came up to smell it, and said, "Fragrant, it should be a good wine, Dad, should we drink this for dinner at night?"

Old Zhou Tou was also happy and nodded.

So the people from the Old Zhou family came forward happily and distributed the New Year's goods. Old Zhoutou muttered while watching them divide the things, "It's too expensive to send them around. It's not that these things are not available in the capital."

Mrs Qian said: "It's all sent back, don't complain a few words, this is also what the children want. By the way, the in-laws are also packing up the New Year's goods? Sanniang, you will come with me to invite the in-laws. Today is New Year's Day, kindness. Bao and Man Bao are not at home, but we can't let our in-laws celebrate the New Year alone."

Old Zhoutou: "It's nature."

Liu Sanniang also responded with a smile.

Zhou's family was not even together, Zhou Lixue and Zhou Ligu were released, and even Zhou Lizhong went back to their hometown.

He is going to take the county government exam next year. In order to better adapt and avoid getting sick after the spring, he went home early.

Mr. Zhuang wrote a letter of recommendation and asked him to go to the county school to study.

In addition to the students admitted to the county school, there are indeed places for audition, but it is not cheap to train.

For someone like Zhou Lizhong who didn't go in during the school year, not only Shuxiu Gao, but also someone special to recommend it.

Otherwise, the relationship is not hard, and generally you will not be able to get in.

Mr. Zhuang now has a good reputation in Luojiang County, and the Zhou family is different now, so he took the letter of recommendation, and the magistrate immediately agreed.

Knowing that Zhou Lizhong's goal was to examine the county officials, the county magistrate wanted to say, I can squeeze a spot for you elsewhere.

However, looking at the appearance of the Zhou family, he didn't seem to want to go through his back door, so he pressed it down temporarily.

The Zhou family really didn't want to go through his back door. In the words of Zhou Lang, "There is a radish and a pit in the county office. If you follow his path, you will inevitably squeeze others out. Why would anyone squeeze you out for nothing? "

Zhou Lizhong felt that the third uncle was right, so although it was painful, he still held the back of the book every day, insisted on practicing calligraphy, and wanted to pass the test by his own ability.

During the Chinese New Year, when Guan Li was visiting Qili Village, he deliberately went to sit at his in-law's house. When he saw him holding a book, he was squatting outside the door to endorse the book on a cold day. ?"

While making tea for Guan Lizheng on Tuesday, Lang said with a smile, "I want to sleep when it's warm, it's better to be cold, and I'll be in good spirits."

Guan Lizheng couldn't help but admire the Zhou family's family style and the diligence of his children in his heart.

Zhou Man is not what it used to be now, and the Zhou family is also in the fortune, but their family is not necessarily arrogant, but more diligent than the poor.

He couldn't help but said: "It's really not possible, I have a quota for yamen in my hand."

Guan Lizheng smiled at Zhou Yilang and said, "If you have any need, you can go to me, and I will take Lizhong to the county government office for a walk."

This quota is a reward given by the county government to Guan Lizheng. He has been a Lizheng for a long time, and he has been diligent, so he only got this quota three years ago, and it is useless for him to keep it.

Good night, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone should go to bed early, there is a chapter missing, I will make it up tomorrow
