On the first day of the new year, after Yan Xin had breakfast, Jing Yuanzhao sent her back to Songxiangyuan.

He hugged her again at the door, reluctant to leave her.

Mrs. Cheng is on duty in Yan Xin's yard, and everyone else is on vacation and busy with other things.

She sent out Chinese New Year red envelopes in advance.

Sister-in-law Cheng gave her New Year greetings and cooked sweet brown sugar and taro soup for her: "Miss, you will get rich this year."

Taro is in the shape of "gold ingot".

Yan Xin eats it every year and can't help but laugh: "I'd like to lend you auspicious words."

She finished it in one go.

She chatted with Mrs. Cheng for a few words, then got up and went to the eldest wife's main courtyard to pay her New Year's greetings.

She met her fifth younger sister Fu Rong at the gate of the courtyard, and her sisters-in-law went in together.

The eldest lady's complexion is not as good as it was before.

After an illness, the eldest wife looked gray and her hair seemed to be whiter, but she was in good spirits; the eldest wife was holding her daughter and sitting next to her.

Yan Xin and Fu Rong paid New Year's greetings to them.

The eldest wife gave red envelopes to the two daughters-in-law and said with a smile: "This year, you both will have good luck, and my mother will be happy."

After sitting for a while, he came out of the main courtyard.

Fu Rong couldn't help laughing.

Yan Xin asked her why she was laughing.

"Mom is so calm. I was not at home on New Year's Eve, I was at the club, and I didn't go to say goodbye to her, but she didn't even mention it." Fu Rong said.

Yan Xin: "I'm not at home either, I'm at the Governor's Mansion."

Fu Rong: "She's really well-educated."

"Yes." Yan Xin sighed.

The enemy stood still and was determined. At this rate, Yan Xin needs to take the initiative to set a trap.

Yan Xin thought of the eldest young master of the Gao family who was far away in Nancheng. His younger brother died in Yicheng. He had said that he wanted to take revenge.

The target of his revenge is "Zhang Yi", who is nominally the second nephew of the eldest wife.

She pondered for a moment, and then she and Fu Rong came to a fork in the road.

Yan Xin took a red envelope and gave it to her.

"If I hadn't met you, I would have gone to your yard." Yan Xin said.

Fu Rong answered: "Thank you, Sister-in-law Xi."

The two separated.

Back at Songxiangyuan, Yan Xin took off her makeup and went to bed. She didn't sleep well last night.

Many people wanted to come and wish her New Year greetings, but they couldn't find the way.

Yan Xin was nowhere to be seen when entering through the gate of Jiang Mansion; as for the Jiao Gate, there was no formal gate, so it was impossible to visit at all.

I got up at noon and heard Mrs. Cheng say: "The two young masters of the Zhou family are here to pay you New Year greetings. I went to the corner door to say it's inconvenient for you. They went back. There was also a call from Hall Master Cheng, asking if you were at home. I said you were there. Catching up on sleep.”

Yan Xin nodded: "I understand."

She went to call Cheng Sanniang back.

Yan Xin was very busy in the next few days. The ladies of Yicheng's upper class couldn't see her, so they had to send her invitations and invite her to the banquet.

Even the wife of the teacher, Guo Yuan, left a message for her.

Yan Xin did not reply to everyone, but only chose the families she thought were suitable: the Lu family of the general staff, and the families of several division commanders who were close friends of Jing Yuanzhao.

On the third day of the first lunar month, she received a phone call.

It was the wife of Luo, the director of the finance department of the city hall.

"Miss, you must come to my family's banquet on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year." Mrs. Luo smiled.

Mrs. Luo was not just showing off, but really wanted to make her acquaintance. Every time there was a big or small event, she would give him a gift and even find out Yan Xin's phone number.

Yan Xin remembered that Cheng Sanniang said that the Luo Mansion was very complicated, and that the internal fighting in her family was like a black-eyed chicken. In addition, Luo Cheng'er, the "eldest daughter" of the Luo family, and Sheng Rouzhen were very close, so she didn't want to go.

"... Brother Cong also wants to kowtow to you." Mrs. Luo smiled on the phone.

The "Brother Cong" she was talking about was her son, the young master of the Luo family.

The young master’s real name is Luo Cong, and his nickname with the same sound is Congcong.

She carried the child out, and Yan Xin made it too clear that she didn't want to get close to the Luo family, and they distanced themselves from each other from then on.

Every time Mrs. Luo gave her a gift before, she seemed flattering.

Social rejection must also be measured.

Yan Xin was well versed in the world and said to Mrs. Luo: "Then I will go and disturb you on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year."

At the beginning of the new year, all the servants in Songxiangyuan came back.

Yan Xin asked Feng's mother to prepare an extra New Year's gift. She was going to Luo Mansion as a guest.

Bai Shuang went out for a walk and came back and said to Yan Xin: "Miss, something happened."

Yan Xin: "What's the matter?"

"The Yan's Baicaotang on Wanyuan Street is being targeted," Bai Shuang said.

She told Yan Xin in a low voice.

Then he asked Yan Xin, "What should we do? Do you want help?"

"Find out who did it." Yan Xin said.

He won't be Yan Xin's uncle.

The uncle still hopes to use this drug store to blackmail Yan Xin for twelve thousand yuan, but he will not destroy the drug store by himself.

Bai Shuang said yes.

She quickly found the person behind the scenes through Jing Yuanzhao's secret whistle.

Yan Xin was a little surprised by the mastermind behind this.

Time was tight and there was no time to investigate carefully, so Yan Xin had to quickly ask Cheng Sanniang for help.

"Sister Cheng, there is a person. Can you find out her recent whereabouts and arrangements? I remember you told me last time that people from the Qing Gang have paid attention to her." Yan Xin said.

Cheng Sanniang asked her who she wanted to check.

After getting the name, Cheng Sanniang smiled and said, "My people are still watching her. Every move she makes is in my eyes."

Then he said, "You ask someone to come and take care of it. Don't say it over the phone."

Yan Xin said well.

She sent Bai Shuang to find Cheng Sanniang and got two more large yellow croakers.

Favors are favors, and buying information costs money.

No matter how rich Cheng Sanniang is, money will never bite her. This is also due to Yan Xin's attention and sincerity.

Bai Shuang went out at noon and came back at dusk.

Yan Xin got the news and thought about it in silence for a long time.

Finally, she said to Bai Shuang: "Don't worry about the Baicaotang on Wanyuan Street. Let it be destroyed. When it is completely gone, I will build a new one."

Bai Shuang said yes.

She looked at Yan Xin and felt that it was extremely painful for Yan Xin to make this decision.

Yan Xin thought emotionally that it was her grandfather's first medicine shop. It was very important and should be preserved for thousands of years; but rationally she understood that her uncle was ruining its reputation and damaging her grandfather's reputation after his death.

It's better to let outsiders completely destroy it.

No destruction, no establishment, this is the best result.

Yan Xin sat there for half the night again.

She is saying goodbye to her past life and also saying goodbye to her grandfather.

She is accepting life and death.

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, the Luo family held a banquet for guests, and the guests were all wealthy ladies and wealthy ladies from acquaintances.

"How does this fur look?" Yan Xin asked Feng's mother as she changed her clothes.

A piece of yellow fur made her look graceful and luxurious.

She is very beautiful, and she looks even more gorgeous when dressed like this. She is so beautiful.

"It looks good." Mother Feng said, "A young lady shouldn't be too low-key, that's how she should be."

Otherwise, all small fish and shrimps will treat Yan Xin as a soft persimmon and want to pinch it.

Luo Mansion was very lively that day, and the door was full of cars and BMWs. Mrs. Luo is well-educated and well-connected. She can even talk about her appearance, and others are naturally not a problem.

To the west of the main courtyard of the Luo family, there is also a small building dedicated to banquets. The living room is large and has fifteen tables.

Mrs. Luo, her eldest daughter Luo Cheng'er, and her youngest son met Yan Xin at the door and led her to the main table.

"Mom, I want to sit with the eldest lady," Luo Cheng'er said.

Mrs. Luo smiled: "Don't disturb the eldest lady."

The implication is that Luo Cheng'er is not qualified to entertain Yan Xin alone.

Yan Xin said, "It's boring for me to sit alone. I don't know anyone else, so just let Cheng'er stay with me."
