The wealth of rebirth is deep in the mountains

Chapter 176 and the wedding ceremony

"It's all good," Gao Ren wanted to put on airs and make a joke, but seeing Xiaomi's expression was calm, and he was a little uncertain about her thoughts, so he could only answer honestly, "The end of the year is approaching, the young master is very busy, I wanted to come back but I can't leave. Lao Yang can hardly be seen, so I don't know what he is busy with."

After hearing this, Xiaomi didn't speak, and still looked at Gao Ren like that. Gao Ren couldn't hold on, rolled his eyes, and took out the envelope hidden in his chest.

"Here, here you are! Originally, I wanted to exchange two meals of braised pork!"

Then Xiaomi showed a smile, took the letter and put it in his sleeve. Finally, he touched the surface of the kang a little warm, put down the quilt, and said, "Wash up in a while and then go into the bed. Don't run around at night, the road is hard. Rest for a few days before being naughty..."

"Okay, okay, I get it. I can't stop nagging. I didn't come back after traveling thousands of miles to listen to your nagging. If you have the time, give me some good food."

Gao Ren looked like a fart, and waved his hands to push people away, but his eyes were full of joy, and the corners of his mouth grinned almost to the ears.

Xiaomi didn't have the heart to say any more, and went straight back to the backyard.Gao Ren watched Xiaomi enter the courtyard gate through the window, and immediately scolded in a low voice, "Aren't you coming out yet? Wait until I invite you!"

Xuan Wu Xuan Liu immediately appeared in the corner of the room, and the two looked at each other, seeing despair in each other's eyes.Why is it not Uncle Yang who came here, this little devil star is in charge, how will he live in the future...

Xiaomi didn't know how Gao Ren's new official took office, how to deal with Xuan Wu Xuan Liu, she sent Aunt Han out, and sat at the table staring at the package in a daze.

Xu was afraid that so many precious jewelry would be lost, so Aunt Han stayed in the house and did not dare to move.

The big kang was heated, the bedding was put away, the paper, ink, brush and inkstone were all on the table, and the oil lamp was also cut with lanterns, illuminating the room brightly.

With slightly trembling hands, Xiaomi took out the letter, the light and flimsy appearance gave her a bad feeling.

Sure enough, there was only a piece of paper in the envelope with a dozen words, "Everything is ready, I only owe Dongfeng. Wait for me!"

"This elm lump!"

Annoyed, Xiaomi crumpled up the letter paper and threw it on the kang, "He just jumped out of a rock, he can't even talk about a relationship, writing a few more words will make him exhausted!"

After looking forward to it for so long, there are still only a few words. Even if we don't talk about the trivial things in life, we should always talk about missing and caring.Vague, who knows what you're trying to express!
Xiaomi poured a cup of tea and poured most of it down, poured the rest into the inkstone, rolled up his sleeves, rubbed the ink, and wrote vigorously.The small face was filled with anger, grievance, and joy at the same time, it was extremely rich, and the papers in hand were stacked one by one, and soon became thick...

Early the next morning, after a good night's sleep, Gao Ren, who was revived with full blood, was surprised to see Xiaomi with dark circles just as he stepped out the door, "What's wrong with you, you haven't slept all night?"

Xiaomi didn't answer at all, and directly stuffed the thick envelope into his arms, "Give it to you young master!"

After all, he went to the kitchen.

Gao Ren padded the envelope that was comparable to a brick, and his mouth cracked in embarrassment.I'm afraid Xinying won't be able to deliver this thing to the capital even if I'm exhausted, I'm sure I'll have to send someone there...

"Xiaomi, Xiaomi, I want to eat red sausage, crispy twists, glutinous rice dumplings, and meatballs!"

Gao Ren chased after Gao Ren, and Xiaomi was trying to see if the meat porridge was cooked. Aunt Jiang pulled Gao Ren in surprise, and shouted, "Oh, when did Gao Ren come back? That's great! You want to Eating meatballs, red sausages? Oh, they are all in the warehouse. Since you left, these things have not been broken at home. I will prepare when you come back..."

Before Mrs. Jiang could finish speaking, Gao Ren avoided her hand that was still helping to straighten her pigtails, turned around and ran to the backyard.

Aunt Jiang was not annoyed, she shook her head and said with a doting smile, "This child is back, and the house will be lively in the future."

Xiaomi yawned, and replied, "Don't get used to him too much, he has a bad temper, maybe one day he'll have trouble with Fang Jiewa."

Aunt Jiang and Aunt Han looked at each other, smiled and said nothing.

No one in the Lu family, or even the whole village, knew that Xiaomi treated Gao Ren the best.No matter how noisy Gao Ren was, he never reprimanded him loudly, and never treated him as a slave.Someone else said this, not her.

Xiao Xu also thought of this, and smiled helplessly.

Aunt Jiang quickly changed the subject and started talking about the village's gossip, "Zhao Laoliu's Damei will be ready in a few days. The Zhao family's daughter-in-law said how many tables of wine would she like? Will the girl come then?"

"So soon, Damei will be too old?"

Xiaomi did have some impression of Damei's quiet and gentle girl, so she responded casually, "Remind me to send a hairpin as a gift in the past few days, but I won't go to the banquet, let my father go, and he will stay all day long." I’m afraid my eyes won’t go well if I shut myself up and read a book.”

"That's true," Aunt Jiang nodded, but then she thought, "No, Xiaomi, you and Damei are one-year-old, let me figure it out. This [-]th of the twelfth lunar month is also your birthday gift!"

Xiaomi was listening to the excitement at first, so how could he know that he still has his own business.It stands to reason that the daughter's ceremony was all because of the mother's concern for Zhang Luo, but since Mrs. Bai passed away early and Xiaomi had been in charge of the family, everyone forgot her age.

Aunt Han obviously thought of this too. She was afraid that Xiaomi would feel wronged and uncomfortable, so she hurriedly smiled and said, "This is a happy event. I will ask the husband later. If the husband has nothing to say, I will start to talk about it."

"That's right," Aunt Jiang also said with a smile, "Not to mention anything else, I will definitely make new dresses, add new jewelry, hairpins, pearl hairpins..."

Qing Hua, who was burning the fire, interjected with a smile, "Gao Ren brought so many gold and silver jewelry for the girl, so you don't need to buy any more!"

"Qinghua!" Aunt Han's face darkened immediately, and she scolded, "What have I taught you on weekdays? As a servant girl, you can't open your mouth when the master doesn't let you. Who allows you to casually talk about what the master has acquired? Go out and kneel down. An hour!"

"Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu who's the firewood in her hand is so frightened, but she didn't dare to resist. aunt."

Qingyu and Qinghua wandered outside together, and later came to Lu's house, feeling like sisters, never saw Qinghua being punished, so she hurried forward to plead for mercy, but Aunt Han added, "Whoever pleads, also go out and kneel."

Qingyu looked at Xiaomi subconsciously, but Xiaomi didn't seem to notice, and carefully took the casserole with meat porridge off the stove.

Qingyu's eye circles turned red immediately, she turned and went out, and knelt under the eaves together.

Of course Xiaomi was reluctant to part with it, but thinking of the environment they might be in in the future, she had no choice but to be cruel.If you are not cruel now, maybe these two girls will lose their lives because of it in the future.

Aunt Jiang didn't understand what happened. She guessed that the two girls were punished because of her words, and they felt a little embarrassed and guilty.

Aunt Han shook her hand, and said in a low voice, "Old sister, don't be overwhelmed. You are not to blame for this matter, you should tell me about it. Gao Ren came back last night and brought a lot of jewelry for our girl. You I also know that our girls are not stingy and narrow-minded people. If you want to make a fuss, you and Liu's sister must be told. But if the two girls tell such things without the consent of the master, if they develop a habit, Could it be that if there is a trouble with our girls, outsiders will know about it. That's why I punished them."

"Ah, so that's how it is." Aunt Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, and finally angrily and amusedly nodded the two little girls kneeling outside, and said, "These two little girls should be punished. Our own family, It doesn't matter. What if outsiders find out about such a major event and become malicious, what should we do?"

"That is, as a slave, strict mouth is the first rule to abide by."

Aunt Han's voice was a bit high when she said this, but the two little girls kneeling outside the door really lowered their heads.

After all, Xiaomi was a little reluctant, and when breakfast was ready, she smiled and said to Aunt Han, "Auntie, why don't you ask Aunt Liu to sit down later."

Why didn't Aunt Han know that Xiaomi was pleading for the two girls, and she felt emotional and helpless in her heart.What I feel is that it is their blessing to be slaves to have such a soft-hearted and kind-hearted master.Helpless is this kindness, I am afraid that one day I will suffer.

But no matter what, this is not something that should be worrying about now, so she shouted towards the door, "If you don't invite someone, why don't you wait for the girl to go in person?"

Qinghua Qingyu hurriedly got up, saluted and ran out the door.

Several people laughed and brought food to the table.With the addition of Gao Ren, the house is indeed much more lively, fighting with him at the beginning of the year, and wanting to be quiet is a luxury.

After the meal, as soon as the table was cleared away, Aunt Liu brought Gui Zhi'er to the door.Guizhi hugged the youngest son, these days it is very boring to take care of the child at home, let alone go out for a walk, let alone how happy it is.

Everyone sat down in Xiaomi's room, teased the children, and gossiped for joy.

These days, Aunt Liu is helping to arrange meals for the people at the foot of the mountain, and dealing with the in-laws of various families, and she is much more tactful and thoughtful than before.

Hearing that Xiaomi was about to reach Ji, the first thing she thought of was, "If there are other girls in the village, then two tables of banquets will be enough, but Xiaomi can't be so wronged. At that time, the Chen family will definitely invite her, and there will be old people in the old house. Long there, even nobles from the city may come to watch the ceremony, and it will be shabby when the time comes, but our entire Old Xiongling will be ashamed."

Xiaomi didn't think too much about it. Hearing her reminder, I remembered that when I bought iron ingots to make weapons for Uncle Liu, the iron ingots were controlled by the imperial court and it was not easy to buy. As a result, Mr. Zhao heard about it somehow and sent a lot of them to him. Hot Pot House…

With such a courteous appearance, maybe Mr. Zhao will come to her door for her courteous ceremony, so it's really difficult to handle it easily.

If there is any intention to get on the line of the dean through Lu Laosan, it will be even more troublesome.

Xiaomi rubbed his temples with a headache, and asked, "Can't I skip the ceremony?"

"Of course not!"

The three of Aunt Liu objected almost in unison. Seeing Xiaomi was surprised at the end, Aunt Liu quickly laughed and said, "Girl's ceremony is a big deal, after she reaches the age, she will be old enough to get married."
