As the saying goes, the magistrate is not as good as the current one.
The female official Li was backed by the Queen Mother, but after all, the
Queen Mother is slowly aging. It is really hard to say who will be the master
of the future of this Datang.
Li Fei is the most favored concubine of Yongping Emperor, and the eight
princes born by Li Fei are also one of the most valued princes of Yongping
Emperor.
Emperor Yongping has not yet established a prince, and the eight princes are
well known, and the possibility of being established as a prince is still very
high.
Even if the eighth prince is not established as a prince, he will still be a
royal prince in the future.
...
Suddenly, the female officer Li thought a lot.
"Majesty Kong, since you are a relative of the emperor, you should cleanse
yourself even more."
"Do you know how your every move, every word and deed will have on the Empress
Li, how much influence will it have on Her Royal Highness?"
"Xiaguan knows wrong!"
Kong Zhirong had been lashed a few times, and he was already sober. When he
came out of the clan, his father repeatedly urged him to come to Anshun County
to try his best to have a good relationship with Wu Chenghou and Yong Wu
uncle, so that this family can become the help of the eighth princes to fight
for the crown.
But on the way, he was flattered by the people around him, as if everything
was under control, and then he had the ecstasy of today.
People can not escape from doing wrong?
Knowing mistakes can be corrected, and there is no good way.
Kong Zhirong changed quickly and thoroughly.
Naturally, the treatment of the Li female officer and her group in the post
house has also been greatly improved.
...
When Kong Zhirong led the staff to provide excellent services to the female
officer Li and his entourage, the old Xu's house was also very lively.
When Xu Laosan came back and told the news of his dismissal, the family did
not have any dissatisfaction.
Including Wang's, there is no unwillingness.
Originally, Wang wanted to become a dragon, hoping that Xu Laosan could be
admitted to the Jinshi, or even a little bit more powerful, he would be
admitted to the top prize altogether.
But after learning about the muddy water in the stall in the capital, Wang
broke his mind.
As the prefect of the capital, Zuoqiu was assassinated in broad daylight.
Although the assassin fought the banner of Jieyundao, Wang was not a stupid
person who didn't know anything. He naturally knew that Jieyundao was only
giving some people a back.
Especially after it was determined that the Grand Princess, Xu Mansion, and
even the royal family might be disadvantageous to his family, the Wang clan
broke off his desire to let Xu Lao San continue to rush for the exam.
"Chinese New Year, Chinese New Year!"
The sound of firecrackers sounded in every household, and the New Year’s Eve
dinner was put on the table.
The dinner at the old Xu's house is very hearty.
However, this is not the point.
The point is that the old man made a concluding statement on the events of the
year and reviewed the major events of the old Xu family in Yongping for the
past 13 years.
This year was really exciting.
When the family's life is getting better, Mr. Xu became Marquis Wucheng, Mr.
Xu became the uncle of Wucheng, Mr. Xu also got the vacant position of the
fifth rank general, and Mrs. Xu was awarded the Xie Yuan of Xiangyi Mansion.
As for Fubao, the head of Telford County, he was naturally said to be a big
talk.
Fubao listened to his father's concluding remarks, but his hands were not slow
at all.
A bowl of small dumplings was wiped out by her three times.
This small dumpling was specially prepared by her mother, Mrs. Xu. As for
Dabao and Erbao, they eat big dumplings with the adults.
The Three Treasures and Four Treasures can only eat some custard.
Although Fubao is not much older than these little nephews and nieces, the
growth gap is really big.
After dinner, the family gathered together to talk.
Obviously, Fu Bao didn't have much interest. She was an honest listener next
to her. After listening for a while, people were stunned.
When she woke up again, it was already the next morning.
On the first day of the new year, we have to pay a New Year's greetings.
It's only after the New Year's greetings that the New Year's Eve money is
available.
I made a wave of new year's money happily. Although the amount was not large,
I wanted this festive atmosphere.
"Auntie, a good Chinese New Year!"
Just as Fubao happily counted how much New Year money he had made, Dabao Erbao
got close.
"watt?!"
Hearing New Year greetings from two elder nephews, Fu Bao was instantly
dumbfounded.
At this moment, Fu Bao came back to her in a daze, her seniority seemed a bit
high.
Forget it. Anyway, we are not bad for money.
"Come, come, the New Year's money, take it!"
Fubao decisively gave the two eldest nephews a silver melon seed. She has a
lot of silver melon seeds like this, all of them are given by her little uncle
and her fifth uncle.
"Father, daddy!"
Thinking of his brother-in-law, Fu Bao immediately ran out of the house to
greet his father.
"What are you doing?"
Mr. Xu was talking to Zuoqiu who was coming to pay a New Year's greetings, and
when he saw Fu Bao coming, he smiled and waved.
Fubao had already bowed to Zuoqiu for the New Year before, but at this moment
he still bowed a salute, and then he said, "Father, should we go and pay a New
Year greeting to my uncle?"
"Uh, this, according to the rules, we don't have to go to visit the New Year
today!"
"Is there such a rule?"
Fu Bao blinked and looked at Zuoqiu, "Sixth Uncle, is that right?"
"Uh……"
Zuoqiu was stunned, "There is such a saying. On the first day of the new year,
people usually don't go to visit relatives, they are all in the same village
to pay a New Year!"
"In the second year of the junior high school, it is usually the family of the
father-in-law..."
Zuoqiu talked about the custom of going to relatives when the Chinese New Year
is about to come.
Fu Bao stunned slightly, and said, "Sister Uncle, then, what kind of relative
is my brother-in-law, when should I leave?"
"This, whatever!"
Zuo Qiu thought for a while, but finally he didn't think of a reasonable
answer.
"Father, we don't have many relatives to leave anyway, and my uncle lives so
close, let's go to visit the New Year today!"
Fu Bao still liked his little uncle.
Although at one time she felt that this little uncle was not responsible, but
when she knew what her grandmother was facing back then, she would be able to
understand one or two things.
After all, one's impulsiveness can be smooth, but if the whole family is
destroyed, who will repay this ** hatred?
Many times, those who endure, the living are more painful than the dead.
Through the ages, the only death is difficult!
But the hardship of living is more tormenting than death after one hundred.
"Fubao, are you driving your fourth uncle back home?"
Hearing what Fu Bao said, Zuo Qiu said cheerfully.
"No ah!"
Fu Bao hurriedly said, "I mean, I will visit my eldest brother, second elder
brother, and third elder brother, and my father will be at home!"
"..."
Hearing Fu Bao's words, the expression on Old Man Xu's face instantly froze.
Why should he be at home?
That was his first-in-law's younger uncle. As a result, his own nephew didn't
go to the New Year's greetings. Isn't it fair to say?
...
In the end, Mr. Xu still failed to win Fubao.
The family packed up the carriage and drove out of the village formidable and
rushed towards Lingxia Village.
New Year's greetings, all that should be gone have to go!
