in spring

Chapter 86 I Had a Dream
After Chunying revealed her small thoughts to Zhou Nian, she regretted it for a moment, but Zhou Nian's reaction made her put aside the regret in surprise.Even Zhou Nian nodded, so what was she worried about?The only thing to consider is to restore Zhou Nian's identity as soon as possible.

Seeing that her face was glowing, Zhou Nian also showed a sincere smile: "If you leave your citizenship in the future and still work with me, it really doesn't matter? Didn't you just say that you want to start a small business?"

Chunying hurriedly said: "My parents are worried that they will do nothing but serve others, so they hesitate to redeem themselves. I thought about it, if they want to stay by your side to do things, it doesn't matter, if they don't want to, it's okay My mother is good at needlework, my sister and I can also help, my father is familiar with the things on the street, can act as an intermediary for others, and the family can make ends meet. In addition, I know a couple who used to be People in this mansion, they opened a small restaurant near Longfu Temple, and the business is very good. I advised them, learned how to cook and make snacks, and also saw how they opened a store to do business. In the future, I will I also want to open a small shop like this, and I will definitely make money!" However, location selection is very important, and others should not dare to snatch it because of the power of the Hou Mansion.

Zhou Nian laughed while listening: "It seems to be very good, but opening a store requires capital, do you have any money? Do you need help?"

Chunying quickly shook her head: "No, no, I have already saved some money, and my family also has savings." After thinking about it, she pursed her lips and smiled: "Although I have been in the mansion for less than a year, thanks to you The third young master has rewarded me with a lot of money, which is enough for my worth. I am saving my brother's share now, and I have an older sister who works in the old lady's house, and may be released in the future , she has her own money, and my parents should also have private money, even if they don't, I will save it for another two years at worst. The old lady, wife and the third young master have all rewarded me with good things, and I will keep them well and sell them Yes, and it’s worth a lot of money. When I redeem myself, not only will I be able to save enough money to open the store, but I’ll even owe you a penny!"

Zhou Nian looked at what she was wearing, and remembered that she didn't seem to have worn a few valuable jewelry except for the silver hairpin, bracelet, earring pendant and colored glass beads, and he clearly remembered that Li You had rewarded her with a jade pendant, could it be that She put it all away for later use?He sighed slightly in his heart, since he was willing to let Chunying's family go free, why would he care about the price of these two bodies?Then he smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. The more money you need to do business, the better. You'd better keep it for yourself."

Chunying was pleasantly surprised, but quickly shook her head: "No, you are willing to let us leave our citizenship, which is already very good, how can I let you lose all your money? Isn't your family's property gone? Even if you restore your identity , and definitely don’t have much money, you still have to live. Although our family’s net worth is not too much, but if we plan carefully, it’s enough for a long time!” The net worth of her family is calculated according to the rules of the Hou Mansion, a total of more than 60 taels. If it drags on for a few more years, it will cost an extra ten taels. This money is enough for her family to live a nourishing life for two years. Zhou Nian is a son of a family, so the cost will naturally be even greater, but as long as he is frugal, it will be enough to last for a year or so. no problem.

Zhou Nian lowered his head silently, and after a while, he smiled at her and said, "I'm not as poor as you think. Although I don't have much money now, once our Zhou family is rehabilitated, things will be different."

"Will the government return your family property?" Chunying was a little unconvinced, knowing that it was more than ten years ago, "Of course Lord Hou will not let you go out empty-handed..."

"That's not what I mean." Zhou Nian said solemnly, "Hou Ye's kindness to me is as great as Mount Tai, how can I have the audacity to ask him to give me money?" After a pause, it seemed that he had made up his mind, "In fact, back then... When the bad news came, my father didn't believe that the late emperor would really punish him, so he didn't make any preparations, but my mother... kept an eye on it, and sent one of her companions and my nanny to him one day before the official sent to the door. I and my sister's nanny, both sold their slave bonds, and handed over a dowry village to the companion, and ordered him to take the nanny out of the city. Later, our family went to prison, and all the servants in the family were sold. The three of them The person is safe and sound, and even visited us in private."

Chunying's eyes widened: "You mean...the Xiaozhuang in their hands...you can get it back after you go out?!"

Zhou Nian thought this was a bit weird, but didn't think much about it: "Of course I can get it back, they are all my mother's confidantes. My mother and sister are now buried on the mountain near Xiaozhuang. Everyone in the family knows the relationship between the three of them and my family, Master Hou is afraid of leaking the news, and forbids me to meet them, but every year he will send a message to let them know that I am safe."

Chunying thought about it, and felt very happy: "So, you can contact them as soon as you go out. There is a small village, and life is no problem. That's really great!" Since Zhou Nian is rich, In case the parents don't want to do other things, the wages are guaranteed!

Zhou Nian smiled and said: "If it is really rehabilitated, the government should return some of the Zhou family's property. The land... Maybe there will be some. I remember that when I was young, there was a literary shop at home, which was quite well-known in Beijing, specializing in the south. The pens, inks, papers and inkstones and all kinds of seal stones sold here are called 'Chunmotang'."

"Store ink? The one that saves ink?"

"No, it's the simple Chun. In fact, my grandfather had this shop when he was alive. I originally planned to call it 'Chunmotang', which meant the purity of writing and ink, but a close friend of my grandfather said that reading and composing articles are just Purity is not enough, there should be more purity and kindness, so I changed it to the word 'chun'." Zhou Nian recalled the past, with a slight smile on his lips, "I remember... my father loves to support the younger ones, Seeing that the admiring students were from a poor family, I asked them to take the calligraphy and paintings to the shop at home for consignment, and let them take all the proceeds, without taking a penny. If a friend likes the study stone in the shop, they will also be taken away .If it wasn’t for a capable shopkeeper, the shop would have collapsed long ago. How could it survive for more than ten years? It’s just that the shopkeeper always sighs and sighs every time he comes home.”

Chunying laughed dumbfounded: "Then is this shop still there?"

"I heard from Lord Hou that it was handed over to an imperial merchant. As long as the government speaks, he should be able to get it back." Zhou Nian smiled, "The shopkeeper is not from my Zhou family, so he was able to escape and return to his hometown. No If you leave him, the shop business must be very difficult, right? It’s not difficult to get it back, but unfortunately I don’t know how to manage it, so I can only live up to the property left by my grandfather.” But he still wants to get it back, he remembers the piece of “chun The plaque on the "Ink Hall" is the grandfather's handwriting, and there are many father's calligraphy in the shop. Most of these things are still there. They are the only ink left by his father and grandfather besides the collection of Lord Hou.

Seeing him talking and talking, Chunying became depressed again, so she tried to make him happy: "If you really take this shop back, why don't you try to continue to operate it? Maybe it will work? If you are not interested , let my father try it, as long as we can find a good source of goods, and then do a good job of publicity, we will definitely attract rich scholars to buy, but this time we must control it well, and we can't let people take things from the store casually. "

Zhou Nian smiled and said: "Okay, let's do it like this. You want to start a small business anyway, so you can use my shop to practice first. If you can really restore Chunmotang to its former glory, I will go to the spring in the future. Dare to boast a few words to your father."

With his smile, the previous gloomy look on his face was washed away, and Chunying was startled when he saw it, and his ears couldn't help but start to heat up.

Chunmotang, Chunmotang, the word "Chun" is so familiar. I remember that in the first 23 years of her life, she had the name "Chunying". Is this a hint from God?Or is it a predestined fate?She couldn't help but sneak another glance at Zhou Nian.

This gentle and elegant young man, although he is one or two years younger than her (psychological age), feels like a big brother, very gentle, considerate, intelligent and talented, the kind of white horse she once dreamed of prince.At the same time he is very forbearing.She could sense that he was not the kind of innocent and ignorant young master, he also had grievances and hatred, and perhaps some bloody plots were implied in the few conversations he had with the third young master, but she still Can't help but think that he is a trustworthy good man.

Such a good person fulfilled her greatest wish after transmigrating today, without hesitation at all, regardless of the possibility of damage to her own interests... It would be fine if he was her family, relatives and friends, but he clearly has a very close relationship with her They are not relatives, but we have only known each other for about half a year.Even if she did a good job helping him, she had already received enough rewards from the third young master's generous rewards.

She felt her heartbeat a little faster than usual, and the heat on her face gradually increased.Zhou Nian asked her with some doubts: "What's wrong with you? Is it too hot in the room?" She just woke up, her face turned redder, and she shook her head and waved her hands desperately: "It's okay, it's okay..."

What is she thinking about?Does the signboard of Zhou Nian's study shop have something to do with her name before time travel? !Besides, after his family is rehabilitated, he will be the eldest son of the family, let alone a little girl like her!
She hastily measured the size of Zhou Nian's jacket with her hands, then she took "Fu Tian Ji" to say goodbye, and ran away quickly.Zhou Nian looked at her receding back, a little puzzled, and couldn't help laughing.

Chunying ran back to Huanhuaxuan, and handed the book to Mei Xiang, who also asked her strangely: "What are you doing so fast? Look at you, your face is flushed from the heat, and it's not even April yet."

Chunying laughed dryly, took a few deep breaths, and said: "I saw Brother Nian's jacket was torn, and Sanqing was mending it, it was really difficult for him. Does my sister have softer fabrics? I want to help them... Do two."

Mei Xiang was stunned, and said with a smile: "Then why don't you make one for the third young master too? He has grown taller recently, and he is about to add a new one." Thinking that Chun'er is going to be promoted to second class, this kind of work will be mastered sooner or later , let her practice first.

Chun Ying said in amazement: "My skills make clothes for the third young master?!" Are you kidding me?She has always only made shoes, socks, belts and other small accessories for him? "Is it really okay? The middle clothes are close-fitting clothes. If they are not well made, he will definitely not want to wear them! Why don't sisters make them themselves?"

Mei Xiang's face turned red suspiciously: "I don't have time to make it for him these days, so I'll give you the size later, so you can make it along the way? If it's not done well, it's the same for others to wear it, otherwise I'll cut it off I made it into a handkerchief for the little girls." After finishing speaking, before Chunying could answer, she went into the room and found a piece of white silk satin, and then told the size of the third young master.

Holding the material, Chunying stared at Mei Xiang's red face, unable to figure it out: "I see...they are all white? Do you want to make a red one for my sister?" Then before Mei Xiang jumped, she ran away with a smile on her face I was so angry that Mei Xiang yelled from behind: "You narrow hoof! The monthly money will be paid tomorrow, be careful that I will let Lan Xiang withhold your share!"

Chunying laughed and ran out of the backyard, but bumped into a person head-on, said sorry hurriedly, and when she stood still, she found that it was Manru.The latter's face was a little pale, and he had changed into the same clothes as when he saw her in the courtyard, no longer the willow green shirt and skirt.

Manru smiled at her unnaturally: "Chun'er...you are back? Where did you go just now? I can't find you anywhere."

Chunying put away her smile, and stared at her for a few times, making her feel uncomfortable: "You... what do you see me doing?"

Chunying smiled: "What's the matter? I just think my sister's clothes are really pretty, but it doesn't seem like this is what she wore in the morning?"

Man Ru was secretly worried, and tried to explain with a smile, but Chun Ying had already walked around her, and walked towards her room with a smile: "I'm sorry, Sister Cui, I have work to do. I'll see you later say?"

She turned her back and smiled.If she once had trust in Manru, it has now become something called "vigilance".

She just had hope for her future, and she would never bury that hope for some ridiculous reason.
