This winter, only a little snowflakes fell at the beginning of winter, and the ground was not even wet.As the twelfth lunar month entered, Wang Zisheng's face never felt better.As long as Wang Zisheng is at home, the servants are cautious and dare not show their atmosphere.

Mrs. Zhang couldn't help asking: "Master, what's the matter? But what's bothering you?"

Wang Zisheng turned over and said, "Go to sleep, it's outside business." After that, he stopped talking.

Mrs Zhang woke up in the middle of the night and heard Wang Zisheng tossing and turning, and occasionally let out a suppressed sigh from his nose.

Because it was an outside matter, Mrs. Zhang didn't dare to ask any more questions, and became restless. Within two days, a big sore appeared on the corner of her mouth, and her teeth were also swollen.

Sister Feng was taken aback when she saw it: "Mother, what's the matter?"

Mrs. Zhang covered half of her chin and said: "Your father has been in trouble for the past two days, but he doesn't always look happy. I'm anxious now, but who knows that he got angry."

Sister Feng hurriedly ordered people to go out to invite the doctor: "The water and soil here are different from those in Beijing. Don't underestimate the fire, it's better to ask the doctor to come and see if it's serious."

Mrs. Zhang was not very happy: "The doctor came here just to drink some bitter soup, and I don't know what your father is busy with outside. When I heard the doctor later, I made him worry. .”

Sister Feng said: "Daddy's business is a big deal, and mother's health is also a big deal. Mother, don't worry, daddy has always taken care of things, but if he encounters a difficult problem for a while, he can solve it soon if he thinks about it. Dad doesn't tell you, he just doesn't want to You continue to worry, it is true that you take good care of your body."

The doctor looked at it for a while, and said it was nothing serious, so he left a prescription, and only said that if you want to drink, you can drink a few doses, if you don't want to drink, it's okay, just continue to drink some coptis water.

Chinese New Year is a major event, and Mrs. Zhang can't be considered a major problem, so she insisted on taking care of it.

Sister Feng persuaded: "Mother is just watching me. If there is something wrong with me, Mother will point it out and I will change it. Why do I have to do it myself?"

Zhang said: "If it's something else, I'll let you go and call you here. It's just that you must be pious during the Chinese New Year."

Sister Feng had no choice but to help Mrs. Zhang as much as possible, and reminded Mrs. Zhang to rest for a while from time to time.

Laba porridge can be regarded as the first thing to do during the Chinese New Year.Ms. Liu tried her best to cook the thick eight-treasure porridge. Mrs. Zhang tasted some of it and found it delicious.

There was enough to drink at home, so Mrs. Zhang ordered his servants to deliver some to some close friends, and Wang Zisheng also ordered some to deliver some to the homes of his confidantes.

Mrs. Zhang said to Wang Zisheng: "As soon as the New Year's day comes, the price of goods has risen. A few days ago, they were ordered to buy this porridge. It is just some grains, which are more than [-]% more expensive than usual. Huh!" It gave me a jump, and I thought it was because these people have become more courageous now, and they have become insatiable."

Wang Zisheng's face became more serious, he didn't take a few sips of porridge, finally put down the bowl, and went forward again.

Mrs. Zhang didn't know where he was troubled again, so she had to order someone to put some more snacks in front for him to eat.

After the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Mrs. Zhang directed the servants to clean up the inside and outside, even the courtyards that had not been occupied for a long time were completely cleaned up this time, and unexpectedly they pulled out the hidden hundred taels of silver.Everyone rushed to report, Mrs. Zhang smiled and said: "This time it's not bad for us. I think it was left behind by the master's family. I'm afraid it's just gambling money secretly. I don't know if I didn't take care of it or I forgot the money."

Everyone laughed and said: "Xu is a rich man, he doesn't even pay attention to such money."

Mrs. Zhang saw that the silver was a little black, so she said to Chuxia: "Go and order them to wipe it again, and ask the accountant to add some more. It's Chinese New Year, and each person will be paid an extra month's money, which is also considered as this." Years are not in vain."

Everyone laughed and thanked.

Jingli Tianmu Zhuangzi also came all the way with a few carts. Mrs. Zhang ordered someone to take them to wash and eat, and Fang asked through the screen, "Did you get frozen all the way?"

The head of the village said: "Our household is thick and solid. Although it is colder, we can live well." After that, he presented the list.

Mrs. Zhang looked at it, and saw that there were some glutinous rice grains, dried fish and dried shrimps on it.Then he asked, "Why do you only have these things this year?"

Zhuangtou hurriedly replied: "I don't dare to lie to my wife, it's the little one who makes his own opinions. I think there are a lot of living things like chickens, ducks, foxes and rabbits here in Shengzhou. If they are transported from Beijing, more than half of them will be lost. , and sold it in Beijing, with a total of 4000 taels of silver, and sent it here. Originally, even Lianggu wanted to sell it, but I was afraid that in the new year, none of the output in the village would look like it, so That's why I sent these."

Mrs. Zhang nodded and said, "You are thoughtful." Then he said, "My master is on an errand, and you will come to see him when he comes back."

Zhuangtou hurriedly agreed to go.

When it was fourteenth, Mrs. Zhang suddenly thought of something again, and hurriedly asked, "Can I get all kinds of silver rice?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and lowered their heads in silence.

Mrs. Zhang was so anxious that she wanted to scold people: "I said that there is no one in this family that can be pointed out. If the master can't think of it, can't you remind me? What's the use of raising you, but you are my master!"

It happened that Ping'er came over with a plate: "The girl saw that the wife was busy, so she asked someone to prepare two hundred silver scorpions. She said that if the wife had already got it, it would be fine. She has also saved the more than 200 silver for several years. , ask to take it back.”

Only then did Mrs. Zhang feel relieved: "No one in my house is as caring as my Feng'er. You go to the cashier to get two hundred silver and send it to your girl."

Ping'er is busy.

Sister Feng was helping Zhang's list of New Year's wine. When she came back, she asked how she was doing there.

Ping'er said: "My wife forgot about the New Year's Eve Guozi and she is losing her temper. If I had gone earlier, I would have saved my wife the anger."

Sister Feng said with a smile: "Mother is upset because she has been busy these days, and because there is always something going on with Dad, she becomes more and more irritable. It's not because she wants to scold people."

Ping'er also laughed and said: "Our family is a family of good deeds, and the masters are all kind, which makes the servants so coquettish that they feel wronged when they hear any scolding. I heard the magpie say the other day that Mrs. Jia's house is Girls can't even speak loudly, if the master hears it, I will give you a big mouth."

Sister Feng snorted and said, "The whole family is confused, what are they doing under the big festival.

Brother Fu will be on vacation tomorrow, and my mother will not be free these few days, so you ask someone to go to Fu Ge's yard to watch and clean up, and don't allow them to fool around.

I know these people, and I wish I could cut myself open in front of you to prove my loyalty, but then I just fool around with what you entrusted to him.

You said that they were all raised by their fathers and mothers, how can some people be so stupid.Could it be that instead of watching what he did, I just listened to what he said and made him a loyal servant? "

Ping'er laughed and said, "Young lady, why should you be as knowledgeable as this screwdriver, you don't have to get mad at yourself."

Sister Feng put down her pen, read the list again, and said, "I'm so angry because I'm just curious about what they think. Come and see for me whether the wine list for this year is complete or not, and is there anything missing?"

Ping'er took it over and looked at it carefully: "I don't think there is anything missing, and I will make changes after I show my wife."

By the 23rd, the Stove Lord was invited, and Mrs. Zhang was even more busy. Although she was not in Beijing, she had to prepare various offerings.

Sister Feng has been idle these few days, just playing around with Fu Geer, or talking to Mr. Lu.She was idle, and when she saw Mrs. Zhang was busy, she felt dispirited: "Mother also gave me a job. Mother is busy here, and I am just wandering around beckoning cats and dogs."

Mrs. Zhang said with a smile: "You can't help with the rest, if you want to see it, just watch it here."

Sister Feng followed Mrs. Zhang here and there to look around, and she never had a free day.

Lying on the bed at night, I chatted with Kanger who was on duty at night: "Hey, I'm too tired after the new year, but it's better to have a new year."

Kang Er laughed and said: "This is what the girl thinks. Those children from poor families are looking forward to the New Year. At least they can eat two good meals. Even if the family is better, they can still have new clothes to wear."

Sister Feng sighed: "It reminds me of 'Why don't you eat minced meat'. I laughed at him in the past, but now I see it, isn't it right for me?"

Kanger was puzzled: "What does this mean?"

Sister Feng sat up from the bed and told her the story of Emperor Hui of Jin Dynasty.

After hearing this, Kang Er wondered, "There is such a stupid emperor in the world?"

An'er heard it outside and said: "Don't hook up with the girl and talk, go to sleep."

Kang'er smiled and said: "Girl, you should go to bed quickly, or the sisters will bear me tomorrow."

Sister Feng said: "Don't be afraid. If they scold you, come to me and I will protect you."

Kang'er said: "The girl is teasing me again. If the sisters secretly punish me while the girl is away, even if the girl comes back, I will already be scolded. What's the use?"

Sister Feng smiled and said, "Then I have to listen to you."

Silent all night.

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month has passed in a busy way. Although there are still a few New Year's wines, there is not much to do.Only then did Mrs. Zhang rest.

Who knows that it's all right if you don't rest. After this rest, the suppressed anger surged up, and it burned very hot that day. It's not easy to ask a doctor in the first month, and Sister Feng is so anxious that she almost wants to cry.It was the prince who won the trust, so he invited an old doctor to come.

The old doctor looked at it and didn't say anything else. He just said that he was very tired during the New Year's Eve, so he took a few soups and medicines to take care of himself.

Sister Feng said to Zhang, "it's such a big deal, you have to force yourself to do it. We've been frightened enough at this moment. It's better for you, just lie down and have fun."

Mrs. Zhang said: "I know it's nothing serious, but you don't listen."

Sister Feng said angrily: "What is this called? Could it be that you don't go to see a doctor when you are sick, but you can't see it for yourself?"

Brother Fu also said: "Mother still told me to be obedient, but Mother is not obedient at all."

Wang Zisheng smiled and patted Brother Fu's head, and said to Sister Feng: "Okay, I'm here, you all go and rest. I look at her, your mother dare not be disobedient."

Mrs. Zhang also said: "Go quickly, your eyes are red after working all night, go to sleep quickly."

Seeing that nothing happened, Sister Feng took Fu Geer down to sleep.
