Chapter 351 It's New Year's Eve

After hearing Li Chongyuan's words, the old lady's originally serious expression immediately turned into a smiling face.

There is a saying.

A filial child, who would have the heart to punish him.

Not to mention beating and scolding.

Again.

It's not the first time Li Chongyuan has done business as a merchant.

although.

The first time I sold the little bear to play the drum, the old lady scolded him.

But it was only a slight scolding.

On the contrary this time.

Li Chongyuan's face is already invincible, and the old lady immediately smiled, "Since you brothers and sisters are so filial, I will not punish you, mother, but it is better to do less in this business. .”

"Yes, A Niang, we must bear in mind A Niang's teachings." After hearing what the old lady said, Li Chongyuan hurriedly gave a guarantee.

As for whether there will be more in the future.

That's hard to say.

How could a person as rich as Li Chongyuan give up the chance to make money?
afterwards.

Li Chongyuan called Wan'er to his room.

"Fourth brother, you said to prepare a gift for A Niang, but we didn't prepare any presents. Tomorrow is Chinese New Year, where should we go to prepare presents?" As soon as she entered the room, Wan'er was in a hurry.

Li Chongyuan thought for a while, "In this way, it is inconvenient for Auntie to travel, so my idea is to get a carriage for Auntie, then Auntie can also take the carriage to Lizhuang at any time, so she won't have to suffer from the bumps. "

"Fourth brother, don't all carriages look like this? There is no one that is not bumpy, and there are several carriages in the house." Wan'er felt that the gift that her fourth brother said was too ordinary.

Li Chongyuan didn't care.

Just the carriage that Li Chongyuan had in mind.

That's shock-absorbing.

of course.

Li Chongyuan had this idea, first of all, he wanted to test whether the current casting level could achieve the result he wanted.

If it can be done, as long as the carriage is [-]%, the shock absorber can also be made, and the bearing may also be made.

after all.

Li Chongyuan has wanted to make springs for a long time, so he just took this opportunity to give it a try.

As long as these are done, at that time, I can try to make other things.

It's like running water, or a series of non-human things such as waterwheels.

Furthermore.

Li Chongyuan also wanted to consume Wan'er's five hundred coins.

Li Chongyuan thought about it, smiled and said: "You think it's too simple, the carriage we prepared for Auntie must be the best and most comfortable carriage in the world. Well, it's settled like this, but the money for the carriage , we have to share together, otherwise, with my little money, fourth brother, I really can't build a carriage."

"How much?" Wan'er asked nervously, frowning when she heard that they wanted to split the money together.

Seeing this girl so nervous, Li Chongyuan felt amused, "All the money we earned today was used to build a carriage for Auntie, and you have to pay all of your five hundred guan."

"No, I just got the five hundred coins, I haven't counted them yet, no, no, you will pay for the carriage." When Wan'er heard that her five hundred coins were gone, she immediately panicked. .

Li Chongyuan didn't speak, and looked at Wan'er with a sneer.

After half a day.

Wan'er had no choice but to lower her head, with a dejected look, tears began to fall down.

Li Chongyuan was at a loss when he saw this, "Okay, okay, I'll leave you a hundred coins for the head office, that's all. As for what, I'm still crying."

Just as Li Chongyuan was discussing the gift.

In the city of Jinyang (Taiyuan), thousands of miles away.

The royal mansion.

"Grandfather, Zhong'er made a mistake, please grandfather to punish." Wang Zhong bowed, and after being scolded by his grandfather, he began to recognize his mistake.

Wang Zhong.

Just arrived in Jinyang City today.

It's New Year's Eve.

Naturally, it was impossible for him to celebrate the New Year in Chang'an City alone, so half a month ago, he left Chang'an City and returned to Jinyang.

As soon as Wang Zhong returned to Jinyang, he was called to the root by Wang Jing, the patriarch of the Wang family, and asked Wang Zhong about Chang'an.

When Wang Jing learned of many things in Chang'an, he scolded the grandson all the time, and almost wanted to do it himself.

Come on.

When he was in Jinyang City, he had already received some news from Chang'an.

only.

Those news, compared with what Wang Zhong confessed, it really pales in comparison.

At this time, Wang Jing looked at the grandson in front of him, with a look of hating iron but gritting his teeth.

And this time.

Standing aside, Wang Jing's son, Wang Zhong's father, Wang Yu, pointed at Wang Zhong and reprimanded him: "Zhong'er, you are really confused. Although my Wang family is big and the family is big, this Li family is not ours. Feel free to offend."

"Grandfather, father, I didn't know it at the time, but Li Yuan was standing behind Mrs. Xiangjun, and even Li Shimin was standing behind her. I thought that Li Chongyuan was just a little county man, and he was also a Bastard, that's why this happened. However, I came to apologize in person afterwards." Wang Zhong was saddened, but he still replied a few words.

Wang Zhongzhen didn't expect it.

The matter had already subsided.

But today when he returned to Jinyang, he was called in for questioning, which angered his grandfather even more.

At this moment, Wang Jing narrowed his eyes a little, looked at the people present and said to Wang Zhong: "There is no news about Mrs. Li's matter. I think this matter has come to an end. However, I heard that the Fenzhou There was a kind of grain called Huaishan vermicelli, did you know about this in Chang'an?"

"Back to my grandfather, I have heard about it, and I have eaten it. As far as my grandson knows, the Huaishan vermicelli was also made by Li Chongyuan. It seems that it was bought by the court later, but my grandson doesn't know much about the others. It is." Wang Zhong replied cautiously.

When Wang Jing heard this, his face became even more displeased, "I didn't let you play around when I asked you to go to Chang'an, but you told me that I don't know how much I don't know about such important news? Hmph!"

Wang Jing snorted coldly.

It was even more frightening that Wang Zhong felt as uncomfortable as a light on his back.

And the matter of Huaishan vermicelli is really important to the Wang family.

But when Wang Zhong was in Chang'an, he didn't pay much attention to it.

Unexpectedly.

His grandfather had already got the news.

What kind of business does the Wang family focus on?
One is salt.

The second is food.

As for the severe drought in Fenzhou, the Wang family could have benefited from it.

But I didn't expect to be messed up by something called Huaishan vermicelli, which caused the Wang family a lot of losses.

How could Wang Jing be fond of Wang Zhongxin at this time, without a stick, he would be burning incense.

And this time.

A young man at the side suddenly stood up, saluted Wang Jing, and said, "Grandfather, since the third brother has not done anything practical in Chang'an, why don't you let your grandson go to Chang'an to take over from the third brother? The South also has some experience, and it just happens to be able to flex its muscles and share the worries of my grandfather and my Wang family."

As soon as the young man stood up, he spoke.

A ferocious expression immediately appeared on Wang Zhong's face.

This person is not someone else.

It is Wang Jing's fourth grandson, Wang Zi.

same.

He is also the one who has a great enmity with Wang Zhong.

originally.

Wang Zhong and Wang Zi were at odds.

But at this moment, Wang Zi stood up to recommend himself, this is not a slap in the face of Wang Zhong.

but.

When Wang Zi stood up, Wang Jing gave him a cold look and didn't say anything more.

How is the Wang family doing.

Everyone has to listen to this Wang Jing's arrangement.

And Wang Jing is getting older, no one knows who will be the future head of the Wang clan.

Wang Jing has three sons.

Three children have eight sons.

If Wang Jing passed away suddenly, according to common sense, the eldest son must take over the position of the patriarch of the Wang clan.

but.

None of Wang Jing's three sons is a fuel-efficient lamp. If no one is appointed to take over as the patriarch of the Wang family, the Wang family will inevitably suffer civil strife.

and.

Wang Zhong's father, Wang Yu, can be said to be calculating about his elder brother and second brother every day, and even follows Wang Jing around every day.

With such a man who knows how to calculate, this Wang family can be said to be very lively.

The night passed.

Chang'an City at this time.

Early in the morning, the Ministry of Rites already had various officials waiting outside the palace city.

New Year's Eve.

All the officials in Chang'an have to go to the palace to meet the saint and pay their respects to the saint.

Such as the general court meeting.

but.

It won't be too long, after all, it's not a matter of discussion, it's just a meeting, and it can be over after a few words.

And Li Chongyuan is also among them.

After the face saint is over.

Li's clan members, as well as all the relatives of the emperor, were taken to a certain hall by the palace people.

It was so full that it filled the entire hall.

Up to the prince, down to the county man.

And shortly thereafter.

Other women were brought over.

The old lady and Wan'er were also in it.

This time.

It was a meeting of the royal relatives.

Li Chongyuan and his brothers went towards the old lady as soon as they saw the old lady.

And everyone else is basically the same.

It didn't take long.

A series of high-ranking royal personnel such as the Supreme Emperor, the Holy One, and the Empress, all arrived at the scene.

Even the princess of Hengshan County who was still in her infancy was carried over.

It can be seen how lively this year's festival is.

"Father, you see that everyone has arrived, do you want to say something?" Li Shimin approached Li Yuan and asked with a smile on his face.

At this time, Li Yuan had a disgusted look on his face.

say?

That is impossible.

It's good to be there.

The relationship between Li Yuan and the son in front of him was already extremely bad.

and.

If Li Yuan wanted to leave Miyagi, he had to get the son's consent.

Isn't this the house arrest of Li Yuan in Tai'an Palace?

And this time.

Li Shimin was extremely embarrassed.

The Li family members present, as well as the relatives of the emperor's country, knew very well that no one would laugh at anything, and just waited quietly.

But Li Chongyuan looked at Li Shimin and his son as if watching the excitement.

There is a saying.

The more mysterious things, the greater people's curiosity.

And Li Chongyuan is that curious person.

Li Chongyuan didn't know what happened in the past.

I don't know what people of all colors were thinking at that time, what ideas they had, and why that change happened.

As the world knows, at that time the prince Li Jiancheng and the Qi king Li Yuanji wanted to kill the Qin king Li Shimin, which led Li Shimin to gather his subordinates and kill the prince and Qi Wang's family?

Perhaps there is some ulterior secret in this?
If it were Li Chongyuan and Li Shimin instead.

No matter what, it is impossible for Li Jiancheng to sit on the throne.

There is a saying that half of the world is earned by him, just three words can explain everything, why!
of course.

This is Li Chongyuan's guess.

yes and no.

Everyone has a steelyard in their hearts.

After coming out of the palace, Li Chongyuan's family enjoyed themselves happily.

As for the things in the palace, no one would care about anything.

"Xuan'er, Xu'er, Yuan'er, you guys will come back with me later, let the housekeepers deal with the people in your house, it's Chinese New Year, our family should have a good reunion." After the family, the old lady got off the carriage and said to everyone with a smile.

After the three Li Chongyuan brothers heard the words, they immediately bowed and replied: "Yes, mother, aunt."

before.

Even though the Li family gets together during the Chinese New Year.

But relatively speaking, it was also very deserted.

One word, poor.

But this year is different.

rich.

The old lady has already become a housekeeper, and she has bought countless things and came back. The family's house has already been bustling with activity.

and.

For the excitement of the New Year's Day today, the Yingbin Building was closed for a day.

Actually speaking.

On the day of the Chinese New Year, few people go out to eat and drink, and they will basically stay at home and reunite with their families.

Even if it is a tourist or someone who is far away in Chang'an and has not been able to return to their hometown, they will hold a reunion banquet under the auspices of the shopkeeper of the guest house.

and so.

It is actually normal for Yingbin Building to be closed for a day.

Moreover.

Everyone in the restaurant must have a good and prosperous year.

in the afternoon.

In the entire city of Chang'an, bursts of firecrackers bursting into flames began to sound.

And in my house.

It can be described as unusually lively.

From the old lady to Wan'er.

From stewards to servants.

Everyone's faces were full of excitement, joy, and joy.

just now.

The housekeeper spoke.

As soon as the New Year's Eve dinner is over, the old lady will give everyone a lucky money.

This can be regarded as the first time the old lady has given out lucky money.

before.

The old lady only asked the housekeeper to give some rewards to everyone a few years ago, as a celebration.

But this year is different from previous years.

Reward money is reward money, and lucky money is lucky money.

The bounty has already been distributed by the steward.

As for the New Year's money, it can only be distributed after the New Year's Eve dinner.

Even worse.

They know better.

If they can get New Year's money, then the amount must be not small, which makes them busy with endless energy.

night falls.

In the hall, candles flickered.

The old lady sat in the first seat and looked at the people in front of her. The smile on her face never stopped. Here, I would like to thank you all with a glass of thin wine."

After the old lady picked up a small cup, everyone stood up.

"The old lady is serious. We are the Li family, so I dare not accept a thank you from the old lady." All the servants headed by the butler raised their wine glasses one after another.

The sound of echoing made the Li family very lively.

It was the first time in Li's family to have such a big New Year's Eve dinner.

This is enough to illustrate.

How much does the old lady value this year's festival?
