Jin Kettle and Master Jian are also acquaintances, although they haven't seen each other for many years, they haven't seen each other in the slightest.

Master Jian also heard about the return of the golden pot, although he was busy with the Chinese New Year's Eve feast in the past two days, he had heard so much about the matter of his own adult's backyard.

I was not surprised to see the golden pot, and after a few words of greetings with a smile, the golden pot explained the intention.

Such a trivial matter, not to mention that the golden pot is the nephew of his own adult, that is, an ordinary businessman, to ask for a donation of silver, in exchange for an invitation card of the day, is also a matter of course.

Naturally, he agreed, accepted the silver ticket, took out an invitation card happily, and reminded a few more words of the matters to be paid attention to that day.

The golden pot listened respectfully, thanked him solemnly, and then took out a glass snuff bottle from the Western Regions and stuffed it to Master Jian.

Master Jian smiled, showing a mocking look, and took a pen and lit the golden pot, "You kid, now you have learned this set?" ”

The golden pot was a little embarrassed: "Grandpa Jian misunderstood, this is a little caution that I brought to you when I came back this time, everyone has it-"

Master Jian smiled, generously put away the snuff bottle, looked at it twice, and waved his hand: "Okay, your mind, my old man has received it, go back and prepare to go." ”

The golden pot came out honestly, and when he met Song Xiaoyin's brothers, it was a lively time.

Naturally, there are also souvenirs to give each other, Song Xiaoyin's brothers did not be polite to the golden pot, and they accepted it happily, and they also made an appointment to wait for the New Year, and the big guys got together on a table of banquets and reminisced together.

As soon as I got busy, time flew by.

Those merchants, for the sake of perfection, did not feel distressed when they sprinkled silver as if they were scattering leaves.

Under the heavy reward, the people of Chicheng County were mobilized by this money, and some of them transferred the high-quality New Year's goods prepared by themselves at a high price.

A few days ago, I went to help for a few days, earned a few taels of silver and went home for the New Year.

Finally, before the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, everything was ready.

The businessmen who don't say that they are satisfied, even the people of Chicheng County are also extremely satisfied, and they have earned a few months of chewing in the past few days.

The Chinese New Year's Eve feast was held in a courtyard owned by a local squire and a merchant.

These two families are next to each other, both of them are quite interesting, after determining the location, the two families opened the courtyard wall overnight, so that the place is enough.

Early in the morning, the entrance of this courtyard is lit up, hung with red lanterns and red silk cloth, from the door to the lobby, there is a long carpet of red felt, and it is soft to step on.

Inside, there is also a lantern hanging five steps under the corridor, on the bare trees, with silk cloth tied into various patterns, waterside, treetops, also hung with various colored lanterns, really brilliant, shining like day.

The girls who are waiting are all flat-headed and fair-faced girls selected by each family, wearing one-year-old blue clothes, their hair is neatly combed, and everyone has red silk flowers on their heads, looking joyful.

The young guys were also very energetic, and they were constantly flowing in the courtyard, and the people holding the invitations were respectfully greeted, and then they were arranged to their seats.

Song Chongjin went to pick up Qin Bohan, calculating that the time was almost up, Wang Yongzhu took Mrs. Zhang out in the car, and arrived at the gate of this courtyard with his front and back feet.

They greeted each other at the door and laughed a few more times before they were greeted by the officials and squires and merchants who had been waiting at the door early to greet them.

Naturally, the men had to go to the front yard, and the women were properly sent to the back.

In this female dependent, Wang Yongzhu and Mrs. Zhang are naturally respected, and the female dependents of those local squires are just that, Wang Yongzhu, as the county lady, has also seen these female dependents at several banquets.

But where did the ladies of those merchant families have the opportunity to see them? Hearing that Wang Yongzhu was coming, they all stood up nervously, looked up and down their clothes, and touched their hair, for fear that there would be rudeness.

On this occasion, it is natural that the wife who is in charge of the family will bring the girls of the family, but at this moment, the girls are all behind, and the people in front are all in charge.

The female dependents of these businessmen, who are also long-sleeved and good at dancing on weekdays, are now dressed up as much as possible in order to show that they are afraid of being looked down upon, and they are all dressed up with jewels, like moving jewelry shops.

In this room, it was warm, and the smell of sachets and incense powder carried by these ladies was mixed together, and they were smoked by the heat, and the smell was extremely strong.

Wang Yongzhu accompanied Mrs. Zhang to the door, and as soon as the curtain was opened, a smell of fat powder that was extremely nasal rushed to the face, and Wang Yongzhu and Mrs. Zhang took a step back together.

The ladies in the house all stood up, and when they saw the curtain open, they all squatted down and saluted together.

But the one who received the gift withdrew?

Everyone was shocked and couldn't help but look up.

Then he saw two female dependents standing at the door, one of whom was quite old, wearing a steady and festive dress, and a jujube red coat on the outside.

The young lady next to her, looking no more than ten years old, was wearing a silver-red jacket with a blue lotus-colored skirt, and a golden and brilliant coat on the outside, which I don't know what it was made of.

Although there is no head full of pearls on the head, it is just a five-phoenix sunrise hanging pearl hairpin, and the phoenix in the middle of the mouth spits out a thumb-sized pearl, under the light, shining, the pearl is dizzy. More and more set off the female dependent, her eyes are like autumn water, her face is radiant, and her momentum is compelling.

As soon as he stopped, he pressed down all the female dependents in the audience.

Those ladies who were eager to wear all their belongings on their bodies couldn't help but show their timidity, only to feel that their heads full of gold hairpins could not compare to others.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was aware of the kneeling behind him, he secretly took a few from his head and hid them in his sleeve, and took off the gold and jade ring full of ten fingers and stuffed it into his purse.

These small actions, they thought they were doing it hidden, but Wang Yongzhu saw it at a glance and couldn't help but laugh.

This time, the fat powder also dissipated a little, so she helped Mrs. Zhang to walk inside, while letting everyone get up and talk.

Among the ladies who can win the ladies who are entertained today, there are the two wives of the county lieutenant and the county cheng, Qu and Chen, both of whom are familiar with Wang Yongzhu, so they naturally know her habits.

Immediately, let people open the windows to let in and diffuse the smell of the house.

invited Wang Yongzhu and Mrs. Zhang to sit at the top, but after a few polite greetings, some people were anxious, so they gave Qu and Chen a look and gave them an introduction.

Everyone wants to show their faces in front of Wang Yongzhu, to be able to have a relationship with Mrs. Yipin, and to be familiar with each other, there are so many people today, and they are worried that they will not be able to take their turn, so they are a little anxious.

Qu and Chen glanced at each other, and snorted coldly in their hearts, except for Wang Yongzhu's mother and daughter, they were the highest in status, and they agreed to help, but they were not called by these people.

Therefore, I didn't see it, I only accompanied Mrs. Zhang and Wang Yongzhu's mother and daughter to laugh, and didn't mention it at all.

The surrounding women who are higher in status and close to each other are also familiar with Wang Yongzhu on weekdays, and they all have a tacit understanding to talk around Wang Yongzhu's mother and daughter.

The other ladies didn't have the confidence to come forward and talk at will, so they just sat honestly in the back seat, smiling and listening to them.

Although I didn't understand it, they all had the same aspirations, and Wang Yongzhu's mother and daughter laughed, and they were busy squeezing out smiling faces.

If there was a slight surprise on the top, they would quickly squeeze out their eyes one by one.

If there is a sigh from above, they will also exclaim one after another below.

It was also very lively for a while.

Wang Yongzhu knew that this was the Chen family, and they deliberately stood up in front of the female dependents of these merchants, showing their differences.

But they are also measured, seeing that the time is almost up, Wang Yongzhu only glanced at Chen, Chen and Qu immediately understood, and just about to say two words, they were going to introduce her to someone.

I saw that a young and beautiful woman stood up near the door, looking at Wang Yongzhu's mother and daughter above with a disappointed face, but her mouth said very neatly: "The slave has long heard that the county lady is the most gentle and merciful, and she treats the people of Pingtou equally, and she has admired her for a long time!" But when I saw it now, it has been half a day since the lady came in, why did she only talk to a few ladies, but she left such a room of people aside and ignored them? ”
