The lucky star of rebirth

Chapter 162
Songxian didn't go out on the first day of the new year, and Cheng Huaijin was alone in Jinling. He had no relatives or made friends, so they didn't have to pay New Year's greetings, and they didn't have to wait for anyone to come to visit. It's really quiet.

In the early morning of the second day of junior high school, Ji Songxian got up to clean up, not only packed up the New Year's greeting gifts, but also changed into a suit of clothes, even Cheng Huaijin, she also cleaned up very neatly.

Cheng Huaijin loves black clothes, but Ji Songxian didn't bring clothes according to his preference this day, but a robe with a blue background and silver thread weaving patterns, and combed his hair with red gold hairpins. Putting on a mink fur warm hat, and after packing up, the two went directly to Ji's house.

At this time, Mrs. Wu had been waiting for a long time, and she asked people to go out to have a look from time to time, and she also asked Mrs. Sun to let the kitchen clean up a table of Ji Songxian's favorite meals.

And when it was dawn, Ji Songxian and Cheng Huaijin came together, Ji Songxian entered Wu's house, Cheng Huaijin entered the study, and after a while, the food in the kitchen was ready, and Wu called to put it in the front hall. There are two banquets, one for men and one for women, separated by a screen in the middle. The women sit inside and the men sit outside. Even though there is a screen, the sound of talking and drinking can still be heard , but also very lively.

Wu's La Jisongxian entered the table, sat down and said: "You guys have been living a bit too deserted this year. After the fifth day of the new year, you can go out to drink with me, so that God will not be bored at home."

Ji Songxian lowered his head slightly: "Mother and sister-in-law go, I... He said that in the first month of this year, he asked me to go out to eat less, so I still won't go."

"The son will take care of you now?" Mrs. Wu looked at Ji Songxian: "You are too obedient, this is not possible."

Ji Songxian was next to Mrs. Wu, and whispered in her ear: "It's not that he is in charge of me. After all, he is an official in the court, and he is such a position. He is different from others in many things. Moreover, he is very well informed. , I can't say... After all, he is doing it for my own good, and for our family's good. "

Speaking of this, Ji Songxian lowered his voice again: "Mother only said that I have been deserted this year, but I don't know that it is better to be deserted. I think it is much better than other people's family huddling together to quarrel. You don't know. Since your son-in-law closed his pen, he has been free, he has nothing to do at home all day long, and cooks and prepares a lot of food for me every day, I have gained a lot of weight this year."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wu looked at Ji Songxian carefully: "It's really fat. From this point of view, my uncle treats you really well. You have to listen to what my uncle said. If you don't like to make you drink, don't go, I will Now that I'm getting older, I don't want to move, so I won't go out, your sister-in-law wants to be a housekeeper, so it's better to stay at home."

Ji Songxian smiled, knowing that Mrs. Wu had listened to her words, she was relieved.

This wine was eaten until almost noon, at the men's table, Ji Gang took a few brothers and poured it into Huaijin wine, and Cheng Huaijin would not refuse anyone who came, and he drank a lot of wine at the next table, It's just that his complexion was as usual, and he wasn't drunk at all, but the faces of the Ji Gang brothers who were drinking turned red.

Waiting for the women's table to eat almost, Ji Songxian asked the girl to pass on the word, saying that it is not a good thing to drink too much, and it is not a good thing for a Chinese New Year to get drunk and have a headache. Besides, there is no need to be courteous at home, just do it as much as possible, don't force it .

Upon hearing this, Cheng Huaijin smiled and said: "Madam is very right, so it's better not to eat this wine."

For a while, he wanted drunken soup again, and it was obvious that he was afraid of his wife like a tiger. It really made Ji Gang and others not know what to say.

The two stayed at Ji's house until mid-afternoon, seeing that it was getting dark before leaving. After returning, Ji Songxian began to pack his things and planned to live in Zhuangzi outside the city for a few days.

On the third day of the new year, the whole family set off and went directly to the hot spring village. Zhuangtou got the letter early, tidied up the house earlier, and it was warm and warm. After Ji Songxian passed by, Zhuangtou paid a visit After seeing the master, he moved out a lot of fresh food from the storeroom, as well as various pickled meat and vegetables, etc., and hurriedly ordered someone to prepare a table for Ji Songxian and Cheng Huaijin.

After eating, they took a change of clothes and went to soak in the hot spring. After soaking, they didn't know how long it took. They only knew that when they returned to the house, Cheng Huaijin wrapped Ji Songxian in a big blanket and carried him back to the house. After going back, he put Ji Songxian on the bed, and when he walked around the beam to serve him, he saw that Ji Songxian was only wearing a middle coat, with his long hair hanging loose, apparently deep in sleep, with a springy face and a slack appearance, more and more There are many gorgeous colors in the beauty, which is more beautiful than the beautiful and heavenly peony.

Zhou Liang took a thick brocade quilt and covered Ji Songxian with it. When she was tucking in the quilt, he saw a few red marks on Ji Songxian's neck, and his lips were red and swollen. Master Dao is really messing around too much, this savvy guy just drags his wife around, and the wife lets him...

Not to mention how happy Ji Songxian and Cheng Huaijin are in Zhuangzi every day, but Ji's family, Wu's family, since the second day of the new year, sent a few daughters-in-law who were close to their natal family back to their natal family, and then stopped the daughters-in-law at home from asking them to go out to eat Wine, if someone comes to invite someone, it will only say that the New Year's Eve has a cold because of being busy and tired, and it is not easy to go out.

If this matter were changed to someone else's family, there would be no conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. However, Ji's family is a rare and kind person because of Wu's family. Even if they get along well with their daughters-in-law these years, none of her daughters-in-law complained. It was only when Mrs. Wu was too old to go out, and it was too deserted to be alone at home, so he forced them to accompany them.

Sun's sisters-in-law wanted to think about Wu's goodness, but also feared that Wu's heart would be lonely, so they made fun of her in different ways.

It's just that on the eighth day of the lunar new year, many imperial wives went to Cheng Guogong's mansion as guests, and they didn't know why they were drinking. These ladies were frightened.

However, Princess Jinyang was not proud either. Her Majesty’s newly recognized biological mother, Empress Dowager Li, who had just been canonized, issued an order to reprimand Princess Jinyang. He was frightened by many orders, didn't drink much, and left one by one in fear.

On the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, there was a dinner party at the Ma family of Duke Jin’s mansion, and many people went there. They originally wanted to invite Mrs. Wu to bring their wives there, but Mrs. Wu refused. There were a lot of visitors to the Duke's mansion, probably after three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Duke Jin's youngest grandson, his son's son's younger son was playing outside and fell into the pool and drowned. Yes, and when many people went into the water to rescue the young master, they found prohibited items in the pond of Duke Jin's mansion, which attracted Jin Yiwei to the door.

On this day, all the visitors were frightened by the accident, and they all went home in fear, and when they returned, they closed the door to thank the guests and dared not come out again.

A few days later, His Majesty ordered people to investigate. It was found out that the Duke of Jin's mansion had been secretly exchanging royal tributes for sale in recent years, and had colluded with many rich merchants to do many shady things. The family was ruined, and the old ladies, wives, and grandmas of the Duke of Jin's mansion were all daring, and they even managed to arrange lawsuits, buy people to take the blame, and killed many people.

For a moment, His Majesty was furious, and ordered Jin Yiwei to conduct a thorough investigation. Until the twentieth of the first lunar month, Duke Jin's crimes were placed on the court case, and each and every one of them was deadly enough. If there is no room for sand, Cheng Huaijin was immediately summoned into the palace and ordered to lead someone to search the Duke of Jin's mansion.

Cheng Huaijin took Jin Yiwei, who was like a wolf like a tiger, and took all the Duke of Jin's mansion into prison, and searched again and again. Not only the family assets on the surface of the Duke of Jin's mansion were seized, but also several people in the dark. The private treasury, as well as the assets hidden in the darkrooms of the grandmothers and wives' houses were also checked out, many of them went into the national treasury, and some of them fell into the hands of Jin Yiwei.

Duke Jin's mansion is also a family that has been in business for hundreds of years. If it is not so simple, it can be searched. It's just that during the Chinese New Year, and during the New Year banquet, his family's grandson fell into the water. Everyone was frightened, and something went wrong because he was too busy. Emperor Qingfeng also struck while the iron was hot, and took advantage of his unpreparedness to arrest Duke Jin's mansion as quickly as possible.

In this way, most of the family wealth accumulated by Duke Jin's family over several generations went into Emperor Qingfeng's pocket, and Emperor Qingfeng's private treasury and state treasury were almost full. .

Because of the affairs of Duke Jin's mansion, during this first month, I don't know how many officials and eunuchs were frightened, so taking advantage of this trend, Emperor Qingfeng changed many border guards, and more and more controlled the military power in his hands. The title of Commander of Jin Yiwei was also conferred the post of Commander of the World's Armed Forces and Horses by Emperor Qingfeng.

Ji's family, Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Wang's sisters-in-law waited beside Mrs. Wu, peeling dried fruits, and chatting and laughing with Mrs. Sun for a while, Mrs. Sun asked: "Mother is so foresight, she will not go out during this first month." Eating wine has saved our family a lot of trouble. Mother doesn't know. Many edicts who were guests at Duke Jin's mansion that day didn't have a good night's sleep when they returned home. After seeing so many things with their own eyes, they are afraid that they will die in the future. His Majesty, who is close to Duke Jin's mansion, became more and more cautious, and dared not stand out easily, so our family escaped such bad things because of mother saying that Feng Han never went out as a guest."

Mrs. Wang also laughed: "After all, my mother has experienced many things when she is old. She has eaten more salt than we have eaten rice. It is obvious that she has seen through this matter."

Mrs. Wu smiled: "How can I see it clearly, it was your sister who said that to me when she came back from the second year of junior high school, otherwise, how can you stay at home if you are such a lively person like me."

"It's my younger sister?" Sun was startled, and after thinking about Cheng Huaijin's position, she understood something: "I'm afraid it was my brother-in-law who mentioned it. It seems that my brother-in-law is still very close to our family."

Wang and the others were thinking in their hearts that they would have to walk more with Ji Songxian in the future, after all, she would have more information.
