The rise of the prince

Chapter 512 Uncle's Day

The second day of the Lunar New Year is also called Uncle Grandpa’s Day.

According to the custom, the sons-in-law have to take their daughter-in-law back to their natal home, then give gifts, and have dinner at the home of their father-in-law and mother-in-law before returning.

Li Xingzhou saw the steam engine, and then he had a plan in his mind, and then dismissed everyone.

Back in his yard, it was around four or five o'clock in the afternoon, Li Xingzhou thought about it for a while, Gillian returned to the mansion and waited to pass the door, He Qian was guarded by He Zhao in the mansion.

But Shiyu, the two of them have been together for such a long time, and they haven't met her parents yet.

So I found Shiyu who was busy in the backyard. She was instructing everyone to pack up all kinds of gifts that had been piled up on the first day of the new year. There are fine beads of sweat on the forehead.

Li Xingzhou walked over and took her little hand.

"Why, I'm busy." Shiyu turned her head and gave him a white look. Seeing people around, she was a little shy, and hurriedly tried to break free.

Li Xingzhou smiled: "What day is today?"

"What?" Shiyu asked puzzled without breaking free from his big hand.

"The second day of junior high school, Uncle's Day, I'll go home with you to visit my father-in-law and mother-in-law later, and get ready." Li Xingzhou said.

"No." Shiyu shook her head quickly.

Li Xingzhou pulled her over forcefully: "That's not okay, you go and dress up, I'll prepare gifts for my parents, and we'll meet at the door in half an hour."

Shiyu still resisted, but Li Xingzhou still pulled her back, "Hurry up, or practice writing at night until dawn."

Shiyu blushed and whispered: "You still say"

"Then be obedient." Li Xingzhou smirked triumphantly.

Shiyu was a little angry, that guy is always like this, she sighed.

She was a little apprehensive, and slightly worried. She was not afraid of suffering, and she was not afraid of suffering, but like her, a commoner woman who had been bumpy since she was a child and walked all the way on her own, was most afraid of being owed to others but unable to pay back.
If you owe others and cannot repay them, you will rely on others. Once you rely on others, you will soften and you will not be able to stand up
But that guy was always like that, he didn't say a word, and left everything to her. At first, it was the tens of thousands of business in the palace, then the big and small things in the palace, and then his wealth and future.

Sometimes she hates that guy, why is he always so careless, and dares to hand over the important matters of wealth and life to herself, she will never forget what that guy did to her back then.

Sometimes she also hated herself, hated herself for being so hard-hearted, and cheated him once, to see if he dared to do this again.

But what he had decided was that even nine cows would not be able to pull back.

Shiyu dressed up by herself, and went out after a while, and saw that the guy had ordered people to load two large carriages, all kinds of wine and meat, cloth, precious medicinal materials, and six fat sheep, hung with red flowers, and led together.

Seeing him Zhangluo, Shiyu was a little happy in his heart, but he still stopped: "No, my family only has parents and younger brother, so I don't need so many things."

"It's okay, keep it, anyway, I can store things in winter." He laughed indifferently: "Besides, if I take less, what will my parents think of me then?"

Shiyu's heart trembled, and she whispered: "Shameless" even my parents called me.My heart felt warm, and suddenly I wanted to cry.

It was still very cold at the beginning of the year, so Shiyu picked up his coat and went out to put it on for him. Many of this guy's clothes were left in her room, and she didn't feel ashamed.

He was still excitedly conducting Jia Ding to carry things.

During the Chinese New Year, Uncle Yu first went to the homes of several workers under his command to deliver wages before returning. They were waiting to use the money during the Chinese New Year.

The son and his wife cooked at home, killed chickens, bought some pork and a carp, and were waiting for him to go back. Thinking about it, I am happy. I haven't lived such a rich and decent year for many years.

But I was still a little depressed, because my daughter didn't come back, everything was because of him, he was the one who pushed her into the fire pit when he was young.

When he was almost there, he looked up and saw that there was a lot of excitement outside his door. The big sedan chair carried by eight people was about to land in front of his door, but it was the uncle who came back from the opposite side.

The family on the opposite side is a gentry from the suburbs of Beijing. The son of the family is an errand in the west yamen of Kaiyuan Prefecture, and the daughter is married to a clerk at the Honglu Temple.

The key is the Honglu Temple gatekeepers, they are high-ranking officials, real court officials, finding such a good son-in-law, this family also has a background at once, and moved here from the suburbs of Beijing.

The opposite door has always looked down on them, Uncle Yu endured it, after all they are just ordinary people, and the opposite door's son-in-law is a Beijing official, the so-called people don't fight with officials, and usually walk away from them.

Now that people are carrying eight big sedan chairs to stop at the door of his house, Uncle Yu doesn't dare to say anything, he just prepares to go around.

The woman at the opposite door was welcoming her new son-in-law with a smile on her face. That son-in-law, a white-faced scholar, must be the one she often brags loudly at the door, for fear that others will not hear him and is an official in the court.

Uncle Yu didn't want to cause trouble, so he moved around.

A few steps away from the crowd, when he came to the door, he found the wooden rafter at one end of the sedan chair was blocking the front door of his house. He wanted to speak, but he was afraid of disturbing everyone, so he stepped over the vermilion lacquered wooden rafter, intending to go around.

Unexpectedly, it was cold, and the snow in the corner of the wall had not yet melted, his feet slipped, his center of gravity was unstable, he took a few steps back, and bumped into the sedan chair. He quickly supported the sedan chair to stand still.

Uncle Yu didn't care about the pain in his feet, he got up quickly and let go of the sedan chair.

Sure enough, when the woman over there saw it, she immediately screamed: "Oh! You bloody country bumpkin, you see you've done a good job!" As she spoke, her face was as fierce as a ghost, and she came up and cursed.

Uncle Yu apologized again and again, and said that he didn't do it on purpose, but the other party was relentless.

"You muddy legs, do you know what this is! You will never be able to sit in this eight-carrying sedan chair in your life! Such a roof, let alone a thousand taels of silver, can only be used by a high-ranking official like my son-in-law!"

"Now that you have done this, the vermilion lacquer has fallen off, how are you going to pay for it, ah!" The woman seized on this matter, and her mouth was merciless.

While talking, he poked Uncle Yu's head with his fingers, and the servants behind her also followed, Uncle Yu didn't dare to confront her, he backed away repeatedly protecting his head.

The son-in-law of the young scholar came up to persuade: "My lord mother-in-law, it's just a trivial matter, it's just a trivial matter, why should it be like this, we are all neighbors, peace is the most important thing."

In the end, she was pushed away by the mother-in-law: "It's none of your business if you stand on one side, the old lady has the final say on this matter."

The young official seemed to want to say something more, but because of his mother-in-law's vicious power, he didn't speak again.

"Let me tell you, this eight-carried sedan chair is the prestige of the official's car. Your muddy legs have not only ruined the vermilion paint, but also polluted my son-in-law's official prestige! Immediately pay the old lady 500 taels of silver, otherwise don't even think about it." thing!" The woman said aggressively.

When Uncle Yu heard this, he was shocked immediately, he didn't care to admit his mistake, he quickly said: "There is no such reason in the world, at worst I will buy this sedan chair!" He knew in his heart that this sedan chair was only three to fifty taels at most.
