If the business woman does not help the poor, the villain's dream of prosperity will be shatter

The New Year of Zhou Guohongtai's 29th year arrived as promised amid the lively sound of firecrackers.

The east and west mansions of the Qin residence were silent, looking particularly desolate and bleak on the eve of the transition from the old to the new.

The colorful lights that once filled the courtyard, the New Year's Eve with brilliant fireworks, the laughter of parents and servants, are gradually fading away in Qin Shu's memories of her past and present lives, which have passed for five years.

Only the white banners that filled the mansion were left.

There are also all-night planning and scheming, loneliness and coldness.

Love and hate in the world are mostly similar, but joys and sorrows in the world are different.

The Xiao Mansion, which is three streets away from the Qin Mansion, is a completely different world.

After the lively New Year's Eve, early the next morning, the servants in the mansion had already cleaned the courtyard thoroughly.

All kinds of colorful lanterns were hung on the flower trees and under the eaves, and couplets were posted on doors of all sizes. Everyone's face was filled with joy.

Old Madam Xiao made an exception and wore flowers and new clothes. Nanny Yu brought the maids and servants who were in charge, carrying a winnowing basket filled with bulging purses.

The purse is filled with various silver ingots and gold beans, which are specially given to the younger generations who come to celebrate the New Year.

Xiao Cheng followed his brothers, kowtowed to his grandmother, received a purse, and then when he saw that his grandmother and mother were not looking, he wanted to run away.

As a result, Old Madam Xiao called out, "Stop, Cheng'er. Where are you going in such a hurry during the New Year?"

Xiao Cheng smiled awkwardly and turned back, saying, "Of course I'm going to go play with my brothers."

Madam Xiao snorted and said, "Don't think I don't know what you are thinking. You are here with grandma today and you are not allowed to go anywhere."

Xiao Cheng was a little anxious to find Li Youlin, and then go to Qin's Mansion with Li Youlin.

Now that he was trapped in the mansion by his grandmother, he was anxious and helpless and could only wink at his mother.

Who would have thought that his mother didn't even glance at him, but just smiled and said to Madam Xiao: "Mother has been looking better and better since she came back from Pudu Temple."

Several sisters-in-law sitting nearby also agreed.

Madam Xiao smiled complacently and said, "The incense from the Pudu Temple is indeed effective. As long as you are sincere, the Bodhisattva will know. I have been sleeping very soundly these days, without even a single dream, and I can sleep until dawn."

Xiao Cheng's eyes turned and she asked, "Grandma, have you hung up the sachet that Miss Qin gave you?"

Madam Xiao's smile faded slightly, but she didn't want to disappoint her grandson, so she smiled and said, "Of course it's hung up."

After all, it was that girl's good intention.

But she still believes in Bodhisattva more.

Cheng'er is young, at the age when she likes to play and be active, and she is curious about all kinds of strange things.

The same goes for people.

During the time at Pudu Temple, Cheng'er followed the girl almost every day, running around for her and being very attentive.

Before returning to the city, he begged her for help in every way, and she agreed only because she felt that the girl was really pitiful.

She could tell what her grandson was thinking.

But that girl...

If both parents were still alive, it would be fine for her to be Cheng'er's concubine.

Now that both her parents have passed away, she has ruined the reputation of her uncle and cousin in broad daylight and even designed to send her uncle to jail.

Although it is understandable that he wanted to avenge his father, such means and such a heart are really chilling.

For such people, you can only observe them from a distance and not get close to them.

Fortunately, the girl was sensible and asked Cheng'er to bring back the thank-you gifts on the day she returned to the city. She had not visited the Xiao residence under the pretext of their friendship during this period.

The gift was just right, not too heavy, but not too superficial either.

It can be seen that he is a sophisticated and insightful child.

It's just not suitable to enter a door like theirs.

If Cheng'er had more contact with her, she would have some inappropriate thoughts...

Qin has nothing to worry about since both her parents are dead, but the Xiao family will probably be the one to be embarrassed.

Xiao Cheng was so anxious that he scratched his head, but there was nothing he could do.

Soon, several cousins ​​and nieces came with their maids to wish Old Madam Xiao a happy new year.

After bowing, the girls gathered around the old lady and talked and laughed.

Xiao Cheng's third sister-in-law Qi suddenly looked at her fourth uncle's concubine Yun Jie'er and smiled, "Yun Jie'er looks really good today, fair and tender, with all the pimples on her face gone. But what good ointment did your aunt give you?"

Yun Jieer glanced at Xiao Cheng timidly and replied softly, "Sister-in-law, Yuner used the rouge that Sixth Brother gave her a few days ago, and her face looked much better the next day."

Qi was immediately surprised, "Did you really just use those rouges?"

Sister Yun bit her lip and nodded vigorously.

The ladies and young ladies sitting there all looked at the maids beside them, and found that the skin on the faces of the maids who had received the reward became white and smooth, even better than the skin of their masters who were carefully cared for!

There was a sudden chatter in the room:

"You also use that rouge?"

"Quick, wipe the powder off your face so I can see it?"

"Oh my god! This rouge is so useful, and you didn't even say a word back?!"

"Where's the rouge? Return it to me now!"

Sister Fu, the younger cousin of Uncle Xiao Cheng, threw away the handkerchief covering her face, revealing the pimples on her cheeks. She cried to the girl beside her, "You knew it was useful, but you dared to hide it from me?"

The girl felt very aggrieved, "It was clearly the young lady who didn't want to give it to me as a reward."

Sister Fu said angrily: "How dare you talk back?!"

Madam Xiao couldn't help but yelled, "Alright! Look at you all, you are like wild girls who have never seen the world. How can you ask for things back after giving them away? You are the daughters of famous families and ladies from wealthy families, why are you chattering so much?"

Xiao Cheng was surprised and asked, "You actually gave away all the rouge I gave you?"

Sister Fu is a straightforward person. Upon hearing this, she couldn't help but choke back, "Sixth Brother only said that someone else made the rouge cream. How can we know if it's good or not?"

Xiao Cheng laughed in anger, "You guys, you usually have your eyes on the top of your heads, and you only see the status and family background. But you don't know that Miss Qin, although she is a merchant's daughter, what she eats, wears and uses are all the most precious of the precious. Can the things she gave be ordinary?"

Madam Xiao glanced at Nanny Yu thoughtfully.

On the other side, Xiao Cheng was surrounded by his cousins, who all asked him to go ask Miss Qin for some more rouge.

Xiao Cheng quickly raised his hands and begged for mercy, "Okay, okay, I'll ask for you. Isn't it okay for me to ask for you?"

He glanced in the direction of Old Madam Xiao, and before she could say anything, Old Madam Xiao said, "You are not allowed to go!"

Xiao Cheng's face suddenly wrinkled.

Madam Xiao rolled her eyes at Xiao Cheng and said, "After the New Year, Grandmother will ask Aunt Yu to go to the Qin Mansion and ask for you."

Sister Zheng in the mansion is getting married after the New Year. It would be really inappropriate if she got married with a face full of acne scars.

There are also several young ladies who are looking for marriage partners.

If the rouge cream is really useful, as long as Nanny Yu asks for it, Qin will definitely not refuse to give it to her.
