Transfer Fubao four and a half years old

Chapter 573 Chuchu said that business in the north is easy to do.

Shangguan Yunying and Shangguan Yunjing were both smart people. In fact, they had no intention of staying in their hometown at the beginning. They also knew the principle of avoiding relatives in official circles. If they stayed in Xiangzhou County, their cousin-in-law might not dare to use them.

If they don't do well, people may think that they are just taking advantage of their brother-in-law's power to enjoy the benefits. If they do well, people may question whether they are protecting each other and deliberately flattering him.

So they both bowed and said, "Thank you, cousin-in-law and the county magistrate for your guidance."

Chuchu didn't think there was anything instructive in what she blurted out, but she didn't expect them to have imagined so much.

However, Chuchu blurted out and reminded Yan Yongning and the others present once again: "It's easy to do business in Yuzhou. Sisters Lan Hui and Lan Hui said that before the border was in chaos, business in the north was easy to do. Isn't there a ceasefire now?"

Not to mention my uncle and two cousins, even the eyes of several elders in the clan lit up this time. If you didn't know, you would think they saw gold and silver blooming.

"That's good! That's good! Have you packed everything? Let's hurry to the capital on the sixth day of the first lunar month and send the earthenware to the nobles' houses first."

Seeing that everyone in the Shangguan family was so happy, Chuchu realized that she had said something wrong. However, she did not feel that she had spoken nonsense. After all, the words she blurted out often came true later.

Besides, there are some aspects that they haven’t thought of, but Father Jingcheng and Brother Jue may have thought of them, and they will always arrange a good place for them.

Yan Yongning never expected that the uncles of the Shangguan family would come to their senses so quickly. He thought it would take a lot of effort to persuade them, but now he can give up the idea of ​​persuading them.

The fifth day of the first lunar month is the day to welcome the God of Wealth. This festival is mainly valued by businesses, so the Shangguan family becomes very lively before dawn.

At midnight, a new image of Marshal Zhao was hung in the center of the main hall, and the offerings were extremely rich. Five domestic animals were used for worship, praying for wealth and prosperity in the coming year.

Incense and candles were lit, illuminating the whole room, and then firecrackers were set off inside and outside the houses, one after another, roaring throughout the city and shaking for a hundred miles.

Outside the house, there was a continuous sound of firecrackers on the street, the sound and force of which were even louder than at dawn on the first day of the new year.

When Chuchu and Fourth Aunt brought Mingzhu over, they found that another sumptuous breakfast was prepared in the dining room, and it was almost the same as the one made by the cook in their house. The food in Weizhou County did not look as exquisite as that in Xiangzhou County, but it tasted not bad. It was a different kind of flavor, and it was something that Fourth Aunt and Grandma Li had never made for Chuchu before. Chuchu was stunned by what she saw.

Xiyue should have laughed when she saw this, and said self-deprecatingly: "Actually, Fourth Aunt and Mother are clumsy. If they made it and served it in our house, my uncles and aunts would not want to eat it."

Chuchu looked at the elders of the Shangguan family in disbelief, and was even more surprised to see that they all smiled and seemed to agree.

"Please have a try, my lady. Normally our breakfast is simple, but on the fifth day of the first lunar month, in addition to what is cooked in the kitchen, the women in the family will show off their skills and cook one or two delicious dishes to worship the God of Wealth. We will let everyone taste the extra dishes."

After hearing what her aunt said, Chu Chu, who couldn't help herself, stuffed a piece of steamed hazelnut rice cake into her mouth: "This, the powder is so fine! So fragrant, and the sweetness is so... Fourth Aunt, didn't you say that the cakes made by Weizhou are so sweet that they are choking? I think the sweetness of this is just right."

"Hahaha"

"Ha ha"

……

The people at the two nearby tables laughed. My second aunt joked, "It's so disgusting that only my aunt and Xiyue know how to eat it. We don't dare to eat that."

The third uncle also patted Yan Yongning on the shoulder and said with a smile: "The sweetness of what Xiyue and her mother made is so great that even the children would not eat it, let alone the women. It would hurt our teeth if we ate it. Only my great brother-in-law thought it was delicious and he has been eating it with your mother-in-law for decades."

Hearing this, Chu Chu laughed to death. She pointed at her fourth uncle and then at her fourth aunt, but she still had a piece of cake in her mouth and couldn't say anything, which made Yan Yongning and Xiyue embarrassed.

However, Yan Yongning still picked up a piece of cake and took a bite, saying, "The rich and sweet tastes each have their own flavors."

Not only did this fail to save Xiyue's face, but it also caused a burst of good-natured laughter.

The taste of family affection and protecting one's faults is just like the sweet osmanthus flowers blooming in the first month of the lunar year, which is sweet and really good.

After breakfast, several uncles said they were going to pay homage to several family properties. When they heard that they were going to a silk reeling workshop and a satin factory, Yan Yongning and Chuchu became interested.

The Shangguan family's silk is also ranked among the top ten in the entire Xiangzhou County. After taking office in Jiangnan, Yan Yongning had only visited one of the larger ones, but it was just a cursory visit. Now that he has this convenience at home, he naturally wants to learn more about it.

Chuchu was purely interested. She didn't want to stay at home anymore. Even though her relatives and aunts and uncles had gone back, there were still a lot of people at home every day. She was afraid of neglecting them, and there were always people around them.

So as long as they could go out, she wanted to follow along. Fourth Aunt naturally couldn't bear to let Mingzhu go out with them, but Xiyue was enjoying it. She usually liked quietness, but when she was at her maternal family's house she liked the hustle and bustle even more, otherwise she wouldn't have come back by herself and stayed there for more than a year.

Seeing that Chuchu was going too, the two uncles were afraid that she would be too lonely and have no one to talk to, so they called their two granddaughters to accompany her. The granddaughter from the third room was too young, so they did not call them. Shangguan Feifeng from the first room and Shangguan Feiling from the second room both looked to be twelve or thirteen years old. Feifeng and Xiyue looked a bit similar, with a gentle and steady temperament, while Feiling was lively and outgoing.

The three of them got on the same car. Shangguan Feifeng and Shangguan Feiling were slightly older and took good care of Chuchu. Not long after getting on the car, each of them took out a small package and said it was a gift for Chuchu.

Yes, it's a package, not a pouch.

Seeing Chuchu was surprised, Shangguan Feiling said, "Sister Chuchu, just accept it. You neglected me last year, but we heard you were coming before the New Year. We had been preparing for it for a long time, but we didn't find a chance to give it to you yesterday."

After returning yesterday, they all had dinner, received red envelopes and recognized their relatives. There were so many people that even Chuchu didn't notice them. Moreover, they were all meeting elders. According to the rules, they should not be able to get close to them, and there is no rule for younger generations to give gifts.

"What is this?" Chuchu was very curious, but couldn't refuse the kindness, so Qiuli and Zishu helped her open it.

Two small packages were placed on the small coffee table, and it was suddenly full.

"This is double-sided embroidery! Sister Feifeng embroidered it so well." A package was filled with embroidered items, from handkerchiefs to head flowers, a set of inner clothes, two extremely exquisite belts, and a pair of extremely exquisite embroidered shoes.

"It's so good, how can I bear to use it? I have to display it to make it look good."

Chu Chu didn't dislike it and liked it very much, but she thought it was too expensive.
