Chapter 469 New Year.

After the case of Su Quan's murder was solved, Bao Zheng and Hua Lang began to work on the matter of opening a store, and You Dan sometimes came to help, so busy for half a month, they finally recruited the store and personnel.

It was almost the New Year on the opening day, and the sound of firecrackers resounded throughout the street, and it was the shops opened by Bao Zheng and Hua Lang, so the front of the store was very lively for a while.

Because of the strong backing of the imperial court, as well as some of Hua Lang's advanced experience, the business of the inkstone shop is good, and Hua Lang has also gained a little benefit from it, so after a few days in a hurry, it is the New Year.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, red lanterns were hung in front of every house, and the Spring Festival Lian had already been pasted, although the state was the place where the imperial court ordered officials to work, but the Spring Festival could not be delayed, and Gongsun Ce also showed a poem for this and wrote a few auspicious words.

Everything is full of beauty and happiness, and spring in Duanzhou seems to come relatively early, after Chinese New Year's Eve, the temperature slowly rises, the ice in the river slowly melts, and the willow trees on the bank sprout.

At this time, the year is not over, and it is not counted until the Shangyuan Festival, which is also the Lantern Festival, and the people of the entire Duanzhou City will be lively on the fifteenth day of the first month.

Bao Zheng, as the governor of Duanzhou, naturally can't ignore the fun of the people, even if he doesn't have fun with it, it is necessary to ensure that there are no mistakes that day, so after the fifth day of the first month, Bao Zheng and a group of officials posted a notice, in addition to warnings, the notice is more to let everyone have a good Shangyuan Festival.

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Long Budi came to the state government and asked Bao Zheng and Hualang to attend the banquet of Qingli Courtyard on the Shangyuan Festival, but this time there was no reason, Bao Zheng refused, after all, Qingli Courtyard is a place in the green building, and if Bao Zheng, the official of the imperial court, goes diligently, it is inevitable that he will be truthful.

Bao Zheng refused, and soon, when Bao Zheng refused, Hua Lang paid attention to Gongsun Ce's expression, he found that Gongsun Ce's face turned from joy to sorrow, and then disappointed, after seeing these, Hua Lang felt that even if Bao Zheng did not go to Qingli Courtyard, at least he should not obstruct others from going.

At this time, Hua Lang glanced at Wen Meng and asked, "Miss Wen, would you like to go to the show?" ”

Wen Meng was also a little difficult to adjudicate for a while, after all, she likes to be lively, but she hates to go to a place like the Qinglou, Long Budi seemed to see Wen Meng's hesitation, so he hurriedly said: "If Miss Wen wants to go, we must find a good location for Miss Wen, and on the night of the Lantern Festival, we also invited a drama troupe and a juggling class, which must be much more lively than piano, chess, calligraphy and painting." ”

Wen Meng heard that there was juggling, and immediately made a decision, and then Hua Lang looked at them again, Yin Wuxian and they didn't have any objections, anyway, they didn't have anything to do during the Lantern Festival, if they didn't drink at home, it would be good to have a good time.

Hua Lang saw that his group had agreed to go, so he said to Gongsun Ce: "Brother Bao, as the Lord of Zhizhou, it's okay to go to the Qinglou less, but Mr. Gongsun is just Brother Bao's staff, so it's okay to join in the fun." ”

Gongsun Ce was a little hesitant, Bao Zheng seemed to see something at this time, after all, the two of them had been together for a long time, if Gongsun Ce had any ideas, he could still see a clue, so when Gongsun Ce didn't know what to do, Bao Zheng suddenly said: "Brother Hua is right, the affairs of the state government are not very busy these days, and Mr. Gongsun has been tired for a year, so let's go and have fun with them." ”

Now that Bao Zheng said so, Gongsun Ce had no choice but to agree, and Long Budi saw that Gongsun Ce had agreed, and he also felt that the trip was worthwhile, so he took his leave and left.

At this time, Bao Zheng took advantage of the excuse to branch Gongsun Ce, and after Gongsun Ce left, Bao Zheng looked at Hua Lang with some mystery and asked: "Brother Hua must go to the banquet with Mr. Gongsun, don't you see something?" ”

Hua Lang smiled, feeling that this Bao Zheng was really an afterthought, so he told all the things he saw, and after Hua Lang finished speaking, Bao Zheng grew up and said, "This is too unexpected, Mr. Gongsun actually likes Bailan!" ”

Hua Lang didn't feel very surprised, after all, this kind of thing comes when it comes to love, which makes people powerless, he shrugged his shoulders and asked, "What does Brother Bao think?" ”

Bao Zheng pondered for a moment and said, "If the two can truly love each other, I will naturally have nothing to say." ”

Hua Lang didn't want to ask this, so he asked again: "If the two of them really love each other, is there a way for Brother Bao to keep the two of them together?" ”

As soon as Hua Lang said this, Bao Zheng's face was a little ugly, originally, with his identity as the governor of Duanzhou, it was very easy to let a Qinglou woman change her household registration, but even if Bai Lan was separated from the household registration, she always had to give some silver to Qingli Yuan, otherwise how could the people of Qingli Yuan be willing to let go, if it was forced, this might not be in line with Bao Zheng's identity.

can give silver, they are in trouble again, although they have a noble status, but they have this official position, they don't have much money, not to mention that Bai Lan is the top brand of Qingli Courtyard, and the asking price must not be low.

After some discussion, everyone couldn't come up with a way, all they could do was to take one step at a time, and what they said must be hidden from Gongsun Ce, because no matter what, Gongsun Ce is a big man, how can he like others to talk about him like this behind his back?

In this way, a few days have passed, the spring is stronger, the wind is softer, and the streets of Duanzhou City have slowly become lively, and the gate of Qingli Courtyard is like a dragon, and it will not stop until a long time every night.

On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, a troupe and a juggling troupe lived in the courtyard that Qingliyuan bought on that street, they were going to prepare for tomorrow's night's performance, and from this time on, the girls of Qingliyuan also began to prepare nervously, after all, if the performance is good, in the next year, their business will be much better, and if the business is good, there will be more money, with this money, their lives will be better, and their hearts will be more peaceful.

When a woman has no man to rely on, the only thing that can make them feel safe is money.

Everything has become vibrant, although the days are day by day, but every day is different, so whenever it is night, the person lying in the bed always has something to look forward to, such as tomorrow will be better, who will hope to meet tomorrow, and so on.

And on a night like the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, Hua Lang was lying on the quilt tossing and turning, and the reason why he couldn't sleep was that he suddenly realized that he was one year older, and Wen Meng was also one year older, should he show something to her.
