Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

Chapter 369 Chinese New Year
After hearing what Xu Huaiyi said, Sun Yu sighed, "Su Zhe is very flexible and flexible. He has already eaten the meat in his mouth, but few are willing to give it back. With this alone, he can compete for the position of the head of the Su family. , no wonder Su Jian helped his eldest son suppress him. "

If there is no suppression, it will be time to step on the eldest son and ascend to the throne, and then the eldest son will lose his face.

Sun Shangshu also said, "What's even more rare is that in order to achieve his goal, he is even willing to surrender to justice and be willing to be an errand boy. Not everyone can spare his face."

Sun Yu looked at his apprentice and sighed, "These few friends you have made have merit."

Xu Huaiyi laughed dryly, "My taste is pretty good. Of course, the most important thing is that I am lucky. All the classmates I meet are so outstanding."

Sun Yu took it for granted that his disciple was indeed a lucky general, and it was normal to have three or five close friends.

Xu Huaiyi looked at Sun Shangshu and asked tentatively, "Master, do you think my disciple can do this?"

Sun Shangshu nodded, "It can be done, and it must be done well. The matter of establishing a chamber of commerce is big or small. Since it is your idea, it is most justifiable to take it on."

After receiving the accurate reply, Xu Huaiyi knew what he was doing, and then he began to worry, "However, my disciple has no experience, no suitable manpower, and no appeal. No matter how many ideas he has, it is difficult to put them into practice..."

Sun Shangshu said, "These problems are easy to solve. Do you remember the plan you wrote for the auction before? Just follow that format and clearly write down the preliminary preparations for the chamber of commerce and how to operate it in the future. Show it to me and if the plan works, I will send someone to help you."

Xu Huaiyi immediately stood up and thanked him.

Sun Shangshu waved his hand, "You're welcome to me, but you can talk to your classmate more. The Su family is the number one imperial merchant in Dayong, and their status among the merchants is self-evident. Even if Su Zhe is a concubine, it is not He is valued, but his identity is there, and he still has a certain influence. If his father can be persuaded to come forward, it will be more effective. As for picking peaches that you are worried about, there are people I sent you to watch, and he will not commit the crime. stupid."

Xu Huaiyi suddenly smiled and asked again, "The second prince also knew about this matter and asked others to intervene. What's next..."

If I don't play with the second prince later, I'm afraid I'll offend someone.

Sun Shangshu understood and considered, "When the time comes, he will send people to help, you just accept it, just like you brought Su Zhe, Li Yunting, Qiao Huaijin and others to provide disaster relief before, just immerse yourself in getting things done. Okay, don’t worry about the rest.”

Xu Huaiyi actually thought so too, and he readily agreed. After leaving the Sun family, he was thinking about how to write this plan in the car. After gaining some fame for disaster relief, this was another opportunity for him.

Going into business with Su Zhe, no matter how much money he makes, will only make his life more comfortable, but it will not bring about changes in his status. Being admitted to the Jingwu Academy and becoming a disciple of Sun Yu can be regarded as his His status has been raised a little higher, but his class has not really been crossed.

Until the disaster relief was praised by the court, that imperial edict was more effective than anything else, and it was also a real support that made others fearful. However, it was too weak in the end, so I had to continue to work hard to add chips to myself.

If you have more chips, you will have a good place to go when the martial arts examination is completed, and it will be more beneficial to promotion.

Thinking of this, he became even more motivated. When he returned home and told his wife, Gu Huanxi was naturally very supportive.

Gu Huanxi was originally worried that he would get the job. He had no name, no status, no status, and could not hold up any airs. He would only make people laugh, and he would be like a child holding gold in the busy city, which might cause trouble. Now Sun Shangshu If you are willing to protect us, what else do you have to worry about?

Compared to Xu Huaiyi, she was of course better at these things. She gave a lot of suggestions on the side. The couple deleted, deleted, and added from time to time. It took them two days of busy work to complete the plan. Can't find any place to modify.

After finishing this matter, it was already the 28th and every workshop was on holiday. In addition to wages, Xu Huaiyi also gave everyone a red envelope. In addition, he also distributed rice, noodles, pork, and cotton cloth as benefits.

Everyone in the workshop was delighted and praised Xu Huaiyi for his kindness, generosity and kindness.

Xu Huaiyi felt deeply ashamed. The work in the workshop was very intensive. From the beginning of the month to the end of the month, there was almost no rest. He was no different from the exploiting class. He deliberately arranged shifts and rest for everyone, but who knew that the village chief uncle would If one person doesn't agree, the others are actually unwilling. They just like to work and earn money. Resting at home makes them feel uneasy and feels like they are wasting their time.

He could only compromise.

After the workshop was temporarily suspended, Xu Huaiyi took his wife, daughter and children to the city again to buy new year's goods. In fact, there was no shortage of things at home, and everything that needed to be bought was already prepared. But shopping has the fun of shopping, so just treat it as It’s a fun family outing.

We ate out at noon, found a decent restaurant, ordered a table of signature dishes, and listened to gossip while the family ate.

Nowadays, the hottest gossip in the city is undoubtedly the marriage between Yao Changyuan and Qiao Hong's daughter. The family backgrounds of the two families are so different, who can not be curious? In addition, the Yao family has been at the forefront of the storm recently, and Qiao Hong's daughter has a reputation of being ugly and no one cares about her. The combination of the two naturally became the talk of the town.

In addition, there is the scandal of Dingyuan Marquis Li Yunxuan. Before he married his wife, he gave birth to the eldest son of a concubine. This is very taboo among wealthy families. It will directly affect the quality of his future marriages. As long as he has some status Yes, no one in the family who loves their daughter would choose such a son-in-law.

But I haven't heard any news that Li Yunting is getting married to the Zuo family, the Minister of Rites.

Xu Huaiyi didn't know whether it was because the matter didn't work out or whether the two parties kept it secret for the time being.

He was also curious about Su Zhe's news, but he only heard a few words about how lively Chunshui Tower would be if it was not closed during the New Year. There was also a blind box opening event on New Year's Day. The Su family released news about the items in the blind boxes. The value will definitely not disappoint everyone, and many people are eager to buy it, just waiting for that day to watch and snap up.

Hearing this, Xu Huaiyi muttered unhappily, "No, it's just speculation. There's no creativity at all. With this little ability, no wonder he needs a father-in-law to help him suppress his brothers."

Gu Huanxi glanced at him and said, "There are also people who support the old tricks. The tricks don't have to be new, they just need to be useful. Those who really make a fortune and move towards success are usually not the first ones to eat crabs, but those who follow behind and learn." Call someone.”

Xu Huaiyi snorted and said with a look of disdain, "What kind of learning? It's plagiarism, right? You don't even change a bit of the pattern, just copy everything. It's really stupid. This Young Master Su, it seems that he really doesn't have much ability, Bai Bai He only occupies the position of the eldest son. If the Su family is handed over to him, hehe, I am afraid that the title of Dayong's No. 1 Imperial Merchant will be lost in the future. "

Gu Huanxi reminded silently, "Don't worry about it. The head of the Su family doesn't even worry about his own family business."

Xu Huaiyi was still worried, "I'm not worried about the Su family. I can't stand some unscrupulous schemes. Taking away Su Zhe's errands doesn't count. I don't even let him go in business. Do you know why Chun Shui Tower... If we don’t close during the Chinese New Year, why not hold a blind box opening event?” Gu Huanxi shook his head.

Xu Huaiyi sneered, "This is a competition with Su Zhe. Su Zhe told me before that in the days around the Chinese New Year, other shops under his name will be closed, but Shuiyunxuan and the teahouse are not planning to take a holiday. Give everyone a A place where you can eat and play. For parties and other events, you can go to Shuiyunxuan to eat hot pot. The hot pot is delicious and there is a lively atmosphere during the festival. If you want to get together to chat and have fun, then go to the tea house. You can drink tea and play cards at the same time, and you can also listen to music. Xiao Qu'er, because of the fresh ways to play cards that I provided, the business in his teahouse skyrocketed, which made many colleagues jealous. Young Master Su was the first to bear the brunt, and he was holding back his energy and wanted to use Chun Shui Tower to overwhelm Su Zhe's teahouse. Go with Shui Yunxuan..."

Gu Huanxi said calmly, "Competition is inevitable when doing business. I surpass you and you surpass me. Isn't it normal? What do you have to complain about? Just because Su Zhe is your friend? Or does he cooperate with you? ?”

Xu Huaiyi choked.

Gu Huanxi reminded, "Business is just a sideline for our family. Don't forget what your main job is."

Xu Huaiyi came back to his senses and said angrily, "I haven't forgotten. I remember it all. Didn't I miss my martial arts practice during the holidays? I also practiced Chinese characters every day, and I also read before going to bed..."

Gu Huanxi saw the frustrated look on his face and said, holding back a smile, "Well, as long as you don't forget your original intention, keep doing it and keep working hard."

Back in Hutian Village, Xu Maoshan was waiting halfway. He saw their mule cart and called Xu Huaiyi home to talk.

Gu Huanxi came back just after packing up the new year's goods he bought.

"So fast?"

"Well, it's nothing. I just asked if I would like to have a New Year's Eve dinner together when I am thirty tomorrow."

"What did you say?"

"Of course I refused. We are two families. It makes no sense to stay together during the New Year's Eve."

"Then uncle, are you disappointed or angry?"

"At most, he is a little disappointed, but I can't wrong you just to take care of his emotions. Don't you like peace and quiet? The whole family is so noisy that we can't even eat. Besides, if our family really goes to the uncle's house, Believe it or not, Lao Xu’s family will also have ideas, so don’t make trouble, everyone has their own celebrations, just go and celebrate the New Year.”

"Well, this is best..."

Although they refused, on the thirtieth day, when preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner, Gu Huanxi still asked Wei Liang to deliver a lot of dishes, including the fourth uncle and the families of Xu Village Chief and Hu Village Chief's family, and none of them were left behind.

As for Jiang Yong, he was invited to his home by Xu Huaiyi. Although the two families combined were only three adults and two children, with Xu Huaiyi here, he would never worry about being left alone, and the New Year's Eve dinner for five people was still a lively one. It's noisy, but also full of warmth and happiness.

Jiang Yong was even in a high mood, drank too much, and actually cheated when playing cards after dinner.

Seeing this, Xu Huaiyi quietly took out his mobile phone and took a picture of the scene. The contrasting and cute look of the highly respected and knowledgeable scholar, if preserved, may bring wealth to future generations.

In the RV, he has already collected a lot of items from this era. A few years later, they will all be antiques and will be priceless if not preserved.

When he accompanied Gu Xiaoyu out to set off firecrackers, the two of them were as happy as children. Gu Huanxi couldn't help but secretly recorded the scene on his mobile phone. When he gets older, he will take it out and look through it. It must be a different experience, right?

After the vigil, several people ate dumplings and then went back to their houses to sleep. When Jiang Yong left, he gave Gu Xiaoyu and Ah Li generous New Year's money. They were a bag of twelve zodiac signs made of gold. They were beautifully made. , very smart and cute.

A good night's sleep.

The next day, I had to get up early, let go of the firecrackers, and after dinner, I went from house to house to greet each other. The women didn't have to go. Gu Huan happily stayed at home and read, and Huaiyi hugged his daughter and took Gu Xiaoyu out.

The three men were all dressed up, especially Xu Huaiyi and Gu Xiaoyu. Gu Huanxi specially made parent-child outfits for them, with brocade robes of the same color and cloaks of the same color. Only Gu Xiaoyu had an extra hood.

When the two of them were walking outside like this, no one who saw them would doubt that they were biological fathers. The rate of turning heads was extremely high.

Ah Li was wearing a small red cloak, which was tightly wrapped, revealing only a delicate smiling face. Everyone who saw her would praise her for her cuteness.

The three of them went out for two hours. They didn't come back until almost noon. They were followed by many people, chatting and laughing. They were all playing better with Xu Huaiyi. When Gu Huanxi saw this, he knew that this was going to happen. Invite you to dinner, and quickly ask Wei Ci to take a few maids to prepare the dishes.

After eating, it was already afternoon. When the others left, they were all a little drunk. Even Xu Huaiyi showed a bit of drunkenness and spoke garbled words. Gu Huanxi asked Wei Liang to help him into the bedroom, and cooked a bowl of sobering soup for him. When I got down, there was no more buzzing, and I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

When he woke up, it was already dark. Gu Huanxi took the child to finish the meal, leaving only some porridge and pickles for him.

While Xu Huaiyi was eating porridge honestly, he told her the topic of the lunch conversation, "Xiu Wen and Xu Yangliu's marriage has been decided. It will be done in the autumn of next year at the latest. Gao Zhuang and Hong Ying haven't broken through the layers yet." Paper, but both families have that interest. Getting married is a matter of time. Looking at Xu Huaixiao like this, I am quite satisfied with Gao Zhuang, my brother-in-law. After all, Gao Zhuang is the most promising person in the village. …”

"The village chief's younger son is Chang Bai. He is old enough, but he wants to wait until he is a scholar before we discuss marriage. In that case, there will be more room for choice, and the woman's family status will be much higher..."

"I asked Hu Yingjie if he had a crush on someone. That boy had a paralyzed face. Guess what? He actually blushed when I asked him. Hahaha. It seemed that he had an idea, but he refused to say it. Huh, look at him. How long can I keep it secret?”

"There is no movement from Erzhu. Alas, he earns a lot of money every month in our workshop. Why are there not many people who propose marriage to him? There are also matchmakers who come to the door. Those people are all crooked. The Meng family doesn't like him. Of course, it may be because he has too high standards. Alas, I don't know how to remind Er Zhu that he shouldn't always expect his parents to make arrangements for him. His parents don't care about him. The elder brother is the head of the family, and there is a favored younger brother below him. He is caught in the middle. Like me, he is the one who is ignored. He is too honest and does not fight. What is even worse is that he hands over all the money he earns. At home, the family spends all their money on his nephew and younger brother, and they don’t know how to help him save up for a wife..."
