The Rebirth of Han Yuxi - Chapter 2274

[Chapter 2274 Yuxi Fanwai (23)]

The scent of peach blossoms wafts everywhere on the hot spring village. Bingmei felt that it was corrupted, and some things were ruined, so she asked the servants of Zhuangzi to collect the petals. After washing and drying, you can take a bath later.

Oak Xi woke up in the afternoon and strolled under the peach tree. A gust of wind blew, and the petals on the tree fell one after another like flying colorful butterflies, dancing gracefully.

Bingmei sighed a little: “I don’t know how much money it will cost to build such a village.”

“If you don’t have three or four thousand taels, don’t think about it.” In addition to dozens of peach blossoms, there are other plants such as winter plums. In addition, flower sheds and vegetable sheds and fish ponds were also built. The house where I live is also beautifully carved. There are also roads that have been leveled, and these are huge expenses.

Bingmei was shocked: “So much?” Even Wang Gongxungui doesn’t have such a big deal anymore.

Yuxi smiled and said, “I heard that Tang Sheng has made tens of millions of dollars. Not only does he have good money, but he plans to retire here. Naturally, he will come here no matter how comfortable he is.” No right to peck.

Bingmei asked with some doubts, “Master, can you make so much money in business?” For some people, it is impossible for them to save so much money after generations.

“Ordinary business is naturally not good, but he is in the shipping business. In this shipping business, sometimes if you are lucky, you can make dozens of times of profits. As long as there are no natural or man-made disasters, those who survive will make a lot of money.” Shipping business requires not only brains and hands, but also luck. Because the risks of doing this business are everywhere, a careless one may lose your life. It can be said that those who run fortune are gambling with their lives. The bet is won, and the wealth is boundless. If you lose the bet, you lose your life.

It is precisely because of high profits and high taxes that the treasury is now full. Therefore, if there is a natural disaster in inland places, the imperial court can not only provide disaster relief in time, but also exempt local taxes.

Bingmei nodded and said, “So it is.”

After taking two steps, they saw Qi Xuan and Qi You sitting in the peach blossom tree and playing chess.

Seeing Yuxi, Qiyou smiled and said, “Mother, do you want to play another game?” Yuxi’s chess skills were much higher than his, and every time he played chess with her, he was looking for abuse. Fortunately, Oak-hee rarely played chess.

“Come on, I’ll just watch.”

At this moment, Qiyou’s entourage said, “My lord, the Tang family sent something over.”

In addition to sending some other things, Tang Sheng also wrote a letter to Qiyou, saying that he hoped to meet Yuxi.

Others say he is a legend who has accumulated such a large fortune from nothing. But Tang Shang felt that compared with Yuxi, he was far behind.

Oak-hee shook her head and said, “If she’s here, greet her!” As she grew older, Oak-hee became particularly impatient with such things as socializing. Except for his own family, no one else is seen.

Qi Xuan said: “Mother, this is someone else’s house, it’s hard to tell if you don’t see it!”

Qiyou didn’t think so, and said indifferently, “Mother’s willingness to be here has already given Tang Shangtian a lot of face.” If he came to say hello, he had already given face.

After two days, Tang Xun came over. Tang Sheng traveled south and north, and even went to the place of Pan Maozi, and he was very knowledgeable. Therefore, the chat with Qiyou was very speculative.

Seeing that noon was approaching, Qiyou simply asked Tang Sheng to stay for lunch.

If you invite people to dinner, you will naturally have to drink. Seeing that it was fruit wine, Qiyou blushed a little: “My mother is in strict control, and I ask Brother Tang not to see outsiders.” It is very shameless to be under the control of my mother at such a young age! But he also knew that Oak-hee was thinking about his body, so he was not allowed to drink any more.

Tang Sheng was one year younger than Qiyou, so they could talk to each other, so Qiyou called him his younger brother.

Tang Sheng said enviously, “I hope my mother will take care of me, but it’s a pity that my aunt and adoptive mother passed away early.”

The Tang family has a total of three rooms, and Tang Shang was the concubine of the big room at the time. When he was three years old, his aunt died. It didn’t take long for him to adopt a childless third room. Because the master of the third room likes to drink, he named it Tang Shan. Mrs. Tang San has no children, and treats his stepson as if she were her own. Unfortunately, when he was thirteen years old, Mrs. Tang San passed away. A year later, Master Tang San remarried, and after the newly married wife gave birth to a child, he became disgusted with dogs.

His big brother was a businessman. Seeing that Tang Shang was so thin and bony, he felt pity for him, so he took him to Haikou to seek a life. After several lives and deaths, he earned this huge family business.

Tang Xun is a man with clear grievances, and he has been very obedient to his family in the hall over the years. As for the one who chose to stand by and stand by when he was abused at the beginning, he will not pay any attention.

Qiyou shook his head and said, “When someone really cares about you, you will be annoying.” But when he said this, there was a smile on his face.

After the two finished eating, it was time for Shen Shichu. Even if it was fruit wine, after drinking half a jar, he was a little drunk.

After seeing Tang Sheng away, Qiyou went back to his room to rest. I didn’t get up until it was dark.

Looking at the vegetable porridge served, there were no side dishes. Qiyou grimaced, and resignedly took a spoon and ate it.

When Yuxi saw him, he asked with a half-smile, “It’s annoying to be in charge of me, um…”

Qiyou hurriedly walked behind Yuxi, rubbed her shoulders and said with a flattering smile, “Mother, it’s a great blessing for my son to be in charge of you all the time.” The parents are there, and the cohesion is there. Without the parents, it would be difficult for siblings to get together for a meal. Especially at their age, it is really a blessing that my mother is still alive.

Yuxi snorted coldly, “It’s good to know.”

“Mother, how are we going to spend this year?” It’s just a few days before the New Year, so it’s time to get ready.

Ever since marrying a daughter-in-law, it’s the daughters-in-law that take care of the dinner parties during the New Year’s and festivals.

Oak Xi glanced at Qi You and said, “We make dumplings ourselves. As for the dishes, let the cook prepare them!”

Qiyou remembered the experience of making moon cakes in the Mid-Autumn Festival, which was a black history: “Mother, let the cook do it! We do it, I’m afraid it won’t taste good.”

“Let the royal chef make the stuffing, and we will be responsible for the packaging.” Let them make the stuffing themselves, it will definitely not taste good.

Seeing Yuxi’s eagerness to move, Qiyou didn’t want to disturb her interest: “Okay. But let’s say it in advance, don’t laugh at me for not being good at that time.”

Seeing Yuxi nodding, Qiyou said again: “Mother, let’s ask the cooks in Tang Shang’s mansion to cook the dishes for the New Year’s Eve! Since you are here, let’s celebrate the New Year according to the customs here!”

On New Year’s Eve, the mother and son make dumplings by themselves. The dumplings made by Qi Xuan and Qi You were all scattered after the pot was placed.

Looking at the contents in the bowl, Qiyou rejoiced in the bitterness: “Mother, what we eat here is not dumplings, but broth.”

Qi Xuan laughed until his wrinkles stretched out: “Then you drink more, you like meat anyway.”

Qi You rolled his eyes at him and said, “It’s like you don’t like meat.” Every time he eats, Qi Xuan eats no less meat than he does, so he’s embarrassed to laugh at him.

Seeing the two brothers bickering, Oak-hee couldn’t help laughing.

After the year, officials such as the prefect of Suzhou came to Zhuangzishang to pay New Year’s greetings to the mother and son. However, this time, even Qiyou didn’t show up, so Lin Kuo only sent people away. With this skill, it is better to play a game of chess.

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, Oak Hee received a letter from Qi Hao. After reading the letter, Oak-hee had a worried look on her face.

Qiyou hurriedly asked, “Mother, what’s the matter? Is the eldest brother-in-law bad?” Wu Jinyu’s health was not very good a few years ago, and he has been resting at home. Since the beginning of the year, the condition has worsened again. Not long before they left Beijing, they had been in a coma once.

Oak Xi sighed: “Your eldest brother-in-law passed away more than half a month ago.”

Now, Qi Xuan and Qi You are also worried. Zaozao and Wu Jinyu have always had a good relationship. Now that Wu Jinyu has passed away, you can imagine how sad Zaozao is.

Thinking of this, Qiyou said, “Mother, are we going back to Beijing?”

Yuxi shook her head and said, “I don’t want to go back to Beijing. Ah Hao said in the letter that the jujube will come to Jiangnan to find us in the spring. That’s fine. I’ll be in a better mood when I go out for a walk.” .

“Then we can make an appointment for the meeting place. Mother, where do you think it will be? Is it Suzhou or Jinling?”

Yuxi said, “Let’s settle in Suzhou! We won’t take a boat and go to Jinling by land.” Although Suzhou is not far from Jinling, if you go straight to Jinling, you will miss a lot of scenery.

Qi Xuan heard the words and asked, “Mother, we have been to Jinling and Yangzhou, shall we go back to Beijing?”

Yuxi shook his head and said, “From Yangzhou to Shandong, and then back to Beijing.” After all, he should be able to return to Beijing a few years ago! But it doesn’t matter if you can’t go back, the big deal is that it’s New Year’s Eve in Shandong.

After the two brothers came out, Qi Xuan said softly, “Ayou, do you think your mother is having a good time?” It’s been a year since she came out, and she doesn’t want to go back at all.

Qiyou shook his head and said, “Mother wants to follow the footsteps of the past and walk aside the places she and Dad visited.” When he said this, his heart was sour. His mother seemed to be relieved, but he knew in his heart that his mother actually missed his father every day.

Thinking of himself, Qi Xuan lowered his head and said, “I am not a competent husband and father.”

Even if he changed it later, his relationship with Dai Yanxin improved. But Dai Yanxin still didn’t trust him wholeheartedly. It is impossible for their husband and wife to be like their parents in this life. And the children, respect him more than love.

Qiyou patted Qixuan on the shoulder and said, “Third brother, contentment is always happy. Third sister-in-law is very considerate to you, brother and brother are also very filial, so don’t think about these things.” Compared with the parents, it is purely a draw.

Qi Xuan nodded.

After the Lantern Festival, Liu Er sent Feng Xiaohan to the palace of the eldest princess.

Zaozao didn’t see her, just let her personal maid take her to a yard.

Liu’er said to Zaozao a little uneasy: “Eldest sister…” Originally wanted to say that Zaozao should not be too heavy, but when Zaozao looked over, he swallowed the words that were in his mouth.

If it doesn’t work hard, how can it be effective. She couldn’t be ruthless, the big sister’s willingness to help already gave a great face. It would be too much to make another inappropriate request.

Zaozao said: “For the past two months, you should not come here. I won’t see the rest of the Feng family when they come.”

Her heart twitched, but Liu Er nodded and said, “Okay.” She knows Zaozao’s temperament best, if she goes against her, she is afraid that she will quit her job, and she doesn’t want to give up all her achievements.

Changsheng knew about this, and directly told Zaozao that he would send Feng Xiaohan back to Feng’s house.

“Mother, you are so old that you shouldn’t work anymore. The children of the Feng family, let them teach themselves.” If the teaching is not good, it is also the matter of the Feng family, and has nothing to do with him.

Zaozao frowned and said, “It’s all a family, how can you say such a thing? Besides, you forgot, you often lived in your aunt’s house when you were young!” In Zaozao’s heart, Feng Xiaohan and his family granddaughter is no different.

Changsheng explained: “Mother, your body is just right, I don’t want you to be tired.” Speaking of which, he really felt that Zaozao loved to worry too much. A few years ago, I had taught Brother Po and Brother Lian, but now he has to discipline Feng Xiaohan.

Zaozao smiled and said, “I just want her to suffer a bit, and I don’t need to teach her martial arts.”

Feng Xiaohan was taken to a small courtyard with only four rooms. There was nothing in the yard.

When I entered the bedroom, I saw that there was nothing in it except the quilt, the comb and the washbasin.

Feng Xiaohan looked at the rough old woman who brought her in and asked, “Did she go to the wrong place?” She had never stayed in such a simple house since she was a child.

The old woman gave a blessing and said, “Miss Biao, the eldest princess ordered the old slave to take you here.” How could you make such a low-level mistake when you were an official in the mansion.

After waiting for nearly half an hour, Feng Xiaohan’s legs were numb and he didn’t see Zazao coming.

Feng Xiaohan said to the rough old lady, “Auntie is very busy today, I’ll come back another day!”

The old woman blocked her way and said, “Cousin girl, this old slave thinks that the eldest princess will be here soon, you can wait a while!”

Because of being favored since childhood, Feng Xiaohan can be said to be like the wind and the rain. No one in the house dared to shake her face. But now, a rough woman dared to block her way, making her furious.

“Go away, I want to go home.” Seeing that the old woman didn’t move, she reached out to push her.

Unfortunately, it can’t be pushed.

Feng Xiaohan was furious: “Dog slave, don’t let go. If you don’t let go, I will kill you.”

“What a majesty!” As soon as the words fell, Zao Zao walked in from outside.

Feng Xiaohan’s face turned pale, and he stepped forward and saluted: “Auntie, this dog slave is preventing me from going home.”

Zao Zao said with a blank expression: “I told her to do this. For the past two months, you will stay in this yard and can’t go anywhere.”

Feng Xiaohan’s heart was even more panicked: “Auntie, I want to go home.” She didn’t want to live in the eldest princess’ mansion, and she knew that there was nothing good.

Zaozao didn’t seem to hear what she said and said, “You’ve been living here for two months, and this old lady will stay and teach you how to do laundry and cook. After five days, you’ll have to do it yourself.”

Although Feng Xiaohan has learned cooking, but only by mouth. As for hands-on, she can’t even burn a fire, let alone cook.

Feng Xiaohan was unwilling: “Auntie, I want to go home.”

Zaozao glanced at Feng Xiaohan and said, “In two months, I will take you home. For these two months, stay in this small courtyard with peace of mind!”

After saying this, Zaozao left.

Feng Xiaohan wanted to chase after her, but unfortunately she was pulled by her mother-in-law. When Zaozao left the yard, the gate was closed.

Hearing the sound of the lock, Feng Xiaohan’s face turned pale.
