Old things in Nancheng

When women say such things, they are basically farting, but anyone with experience knows how to avoid risks.

However, Wang Zimo was still too young, and she had been immersed in Queen Lin Zhilan's domineering aura for too long, which made her always very simple in terms of emotions, and she didn't see any ghosts in the shopping malls and casinos.

However, Wang Zimo was lucky not to miss the "bad light" that flashed in Lin Zhilan's eyes. The invisible sense of crisis gave her a sharp mind. When she thought about it again, she was still facing the gentle and affectionate Lin Zhilan.

"I don't know how to say it, maybe I was too surprised, I didn't expect Brother Shu to be with Taohua." Wang Zimo said blankly.

Lin Zhilan's smile remained undiminished, she patted Prince Mobai's tender face lightly, and said inexplicably, "Yeah, I didn't expect that either!"

Lin Zhilan left gracefully, Wang Zimo felt a little blocked, but she didn't understand, she obviously didn't like peach blossoms, but she really wanted to live with someone else as a peach blossom, especially if that person was her good brother Chen Wangshu, Wang Zimo felt a little uncomfortable.

Wang Zimo didn't understand, but Lin Zhilan did. After all, Wang Zimo was still a young girl, and in future generations, she was at the age of squandering her youth and doing things recklessly. Even if she didn't like her own things, she wouldn't allow others to take them away. She had to throw them away. , others can pick it up.

Lin Zhilan still remembered that a best friend was in love at that time, and she had been angry for a long time for no reason, and her cousin was married, and the cousin was crying to death, and she insisted on staying in the wedding room on the wedding night, so Wang Zimo just did this It is rare to be bored and not to cause damage.

However, Lin Zhilan couldn't see that Wang Zimo was so lost because of other women. After all, she was not much better than Wang Zimo in terms of emotions.

That's right, Lin Zhilan hugged Bao'er in the main room and slept that night.

On the day when Peach Blossom came, it snowed as heavy as goose feathers. Chen Wangshu was driving a donkey cart with peach blossoms and dowry on it. Chen Wangshu blocks the snow.Chen Wangshu still smiled naively, looked at Taohua with more delicate eyes, pushed Taohua's hand to make her sit up, and kept avoiding the potholes on the road while driving.

A large area of ​​white, covered in silver, heavy snow, the touch of red on the donkey cart, illuminated the whole world.

Standing at the door, Wang Zimo saw this redness, and Chen Wangshu beside that redness. Once upon a time, Chen Wangshu would treat a woman so carefully. Hug it under the eaves.

"Brother Shu, Sister Peach Blossom, I thought you wouldn't come in this snowy day, and I'm disappointed." Lin Zhilan was full of enthusiasm, and she pulled Peach Blossom to kiss and exchange warm greetings.

Brother Chen Wang is stupid, scratching his head with a smirk, and unloading luggage with the servants. Taohua is a bride-to-be, and she is even more embarrassed to speak. Get away from Wang Zimo, Lin Zhilan, an old hen, is still happy.

Taohua raised her eyes and glanced at Wang Zimo, as usual, she didn't dare to stay for too long, she hadn't seen her for nearly half a year, Wang Zimo got taller, and looked more mature, when she was in Xingyuan Mansion, Wang Zimo always frowned Wrinkled tightly, now that the dark clouds have dispersed, it is the first clear sky after the snow, which makes people feel very warm and full of vitality.

Wang Zimo's demeanor has also undergone some changes, and she seems to be a little bit young and proud. The brocade clothes, the extremely carefully combed hair, and the noble air set off by the delicate forehead all show that she lives smoothly.

However, Taohua didn't take a close look at Wang Zimo, one is the old hen Lin Zhilan "watching" at the side, and the other is that she is more willing to look at Chen Wangshu, that strong and honest man, a man who is not gentle but willing to be considerate to herself , A man who is not far from himself.

Yes, Wang Zimo is too beautiful and far away for Taohua. She can become a dream, but dreams are often just dreams. Taohua’s life is still very long, she can’t always live in dreams, and Chen Wangshu, After dreaming like myself, it is more realistic. They just want to live a down-to-earth life, have food, clothes, houses, and a few children.

"It's cold outside, let's go inside." Wang Zimo pulled Chen Wangshu to prevent him from doing anything, then turned to Wang Shun and said, "Let the boys send Sister Taohua's things to the house where she used to live, and let the women take care of it." Reset, reset."

"Don't worry, the second young master, the lady has already confessed, and she will definitely not neglect the Taohua lady."

Taohua and Chen Wangshu are not very good chat partners, one is too naive, the other is too humble, Lin Zhilan has always been good at dancing, and Wang Zimo is no different after his experience in the business field. There is too little applause.

"Brother Shu, let me congratulate you first." Lin Zhilan said sincerely.

"Sister Taohua, I also congratulate you." Wang Zimo said awkwardly.

"I never thought that the two of you would come together." Lin Zhilan automatically entered the teasing mode.

"Yeah, I didn't think of it either." Wang Zimo had no choice, and she was the one who liked it.

"However, after looking at it today, the more I look at it, the more I feel that it matches well."

"Yes."

"When did you two see each other?"

"Tell me now."

"Brother Shu, why are you ashamed of being a big man, tell me quickly, what did you do to make my sister Taohua fall in love with you?"

"I'm curious too!"

"The clothes that Brother Shu is wearing today seem to be made by Sister Taohua."

"Really? It seems to be true! Sister Taohua made clothes for me, and the stitching looks familiar."

Well, a pair of dumb mouths and a pair of smart mouths, it's hard to say who wins and who loses.

He kept Chen Wangshu for lunch, and then Chen Wangshu left. He was worried about the farm. With such heavy snow today, he didn't know how many cattle and sheep would be frozen to death, and how many sheds would be crushed.

Taohua followed Lin Zhilan to the backyard, Liu's family had already moved into Yan'er's East Wing, the West Wing was Taohua's old residence, the housewives and maids had already arranged it, and charcoal was lit, it was very warm and nourishing.The wedding date was set on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, and there was not much time left for them to prepare the dowry. Lin Zhilan asked someone to dismantle Peach Blossom's cage, and after summarizing the prepared dowry, she discussed with Peach Blossom about adding the dowry.

Peach Blossom can't be pushed left or right. Lin Zhilan said that this is the Wang family marrying a daughter, and the dowry is not decent and loses her share. Several teacups.

Lin Zhilan is also a capable person, so she sent several sets of expensive teacups, and let Liu Shi throw them away. Liu Shi is so greedy for money, how could she be willing, so she put it away angrily and smashed the pillow to play, Lin Zhilan laughed and bent over .

This time the snow fell heavily, somewhat evil, and it didn’t stop for several days. The road was covered with snow, and there were many fewer people on the street. The East Street was better. You always need to buy some daily necessities, but the West Street is When it gets colder, rich people don't want to come out and mess around in this kind of ghostly weather, so after the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, some shops start to close early to prepare for the New Year's Eve.

Xianlai Pavilion and Steakhouse also closed their shops on the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month, but it was approaching the end of the new year, and the banquets of the aristocratic family were received one after another. The two shops of the Wang family had a lot of orders, so Wang Zimo asked Zhang Bucai to assign a chef to help cook , Ask them to bring all the cooking guys to the host's house to have a banquet nearby.

Jiang Shangpei's ability to govern is very good, and with the relief money donated by the nobles and rich families in front of him, he quickly bought enough winter supplies to help the poor. There was no chaos in the city, and no one died of freezing or starvation.The wealthy households also set up a porridge market within the area marked by the yamen, and rows of them danced in the wind under the guise of the owner's surname, which looked quite lively during the Chinese New Year.

The Wang family also opened a porridge shop. This kind of matter does not require Wang Zimo to come forward in person, and the shopkeeper below will handle it. It's just that Wang Shun said that the Wang family in Wangjiazhuang was actually absent from such an occasion.

This is very unusual, as a native of the local family, the absence of such an occasion is fatal.The reason why an aristocratic family is an aristocratic family is that in addition to being rich and powerful, it must also have a reputation and reputation. Although a relief porridge market like this consumes a little rice, it is an excellent way to accumulate popularity and reputation. Now that the Wang family is absent, it is not worth it. Being poked on the forehead and scolded.

Prince Mo repaired the book and sent it to Wangjiazhuang. In his spare time, he asked the girl from Hualou to play a little song in her lake pavilion.

Although the Wang Family Courtyard is small, the view of a small lake is well-known to Yanguan. Using the method of borrowing the scenery, the Zhenhai Tower was incorporated into it, and two small dikes were introduced from the lake bank into the pavilion in the center of the lake. Lin Zhilan planted a lot of red plums, It has the charm of Little West Lake.

Wang Zimo carried the cup on his left hand and held the cup in his right, appreciating the full circle of snow, and said loudly: "There are several plum blossoms in the corner, and Ling Han bloomed alone. I know it's not snow, because there is a dark fragrance."

The girls who played the piano originally thought that such a beautiful Wang Daguan with such a chic look would come up with a good poem. Who misses other people's poems? messy.

"Brother Zimo, others are too busy to touch the ground, but you are free. But, why did your red plums become white snow, or brother Zimo is drunk?" The noise broke the silence, and Wang Zimo knew it without turning his head. His own bad friend Jiang Shanggui.

"Jiang Sanye was joking. Wang Xiaoer is good at drinking, but he is not good at poetry."

There was another burst of laughter, Wang Zimo blushed, cupped his hands and said: "Everyone, please bear with me, I am an ordinary person, I can't compare to you."

"Haha, Xiaoer, every poetry meeting, you always fail. Could it be that you are taking advantage of Wodong to study hard at home?" Chen Shiyun said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, let's sit down and have a drink together. Red plums and white plums will bloom in spring. Let's forget about it." Wang Zimo invited people to sit down shyly.

"So, you cannibalism, I will spare you this."

Three or five friends, get together to joke with each other, very happy.It's just that the banquet dispersed, Jiang Shanggui and Chen Shiyun stayed behind, and dragged Wang Zimo to the study.

Jiang Shanggui was not a person who could bear it. When there were no servants in the study, he asked: "Brother Zimo, have you heard about the fact that the old man of the Wang family is in Yangzhou?"

"Master? Yangzhou? I've never heard of it." Wang Zimo asked in confusion.

The old man of the Wang family, Wang Qishen, has been an official in Yangzhou, but he is not expected to be an official. He has not been promoted for many years. The Wang family donated a lot of money when he went back to the official family and went south. The Deputy Envoy of Tie Zhuanyun is a huge vacancy, and it is precisely because of this that Wang Qinian is quite passive, so that Wang Zimo has been unable to recognize his ancestors for a long time.

"Could it be that the Wang family hasn't received the wind yet? It's impossible." Jiang Shanggui wondered.

"Third brother, if you have something to say, you might as well speak it out, what's wrong with the old man of the Wang family?" Wang Zimo asked with his heart tightening.

"My third uncle sent a letter back, saying that the old man of the Wang family committed a crime. Mr. Chang was promoted to the general judge of Yangzhou, so it was because of this."

Wang Zimo knew that the third master of the Jiang family was an official in the court, so the news must be well-informed: "Did you commit a crime? What did you commit?"

"Big event! The officials and the imperial court have been worrying about military rations and salaries because of the tight war in the north. This autumn, they managed to collect 20 shi of military rations and [-] taels of silver to send to Han Shizong and General Yue Fei. Who would have thought that Yangzhou would enter the Yangtze River?" He was robbed by gold thieves. The Yangzhou Water Transport Yamen and the Yangzhou State Government have been robbed from top to bottom. Mr. Wang is the deputy transshipment envoy of Yangzhou River Transport, so it is not the first crime. I heard that the officials attach great importance to this case. I think that Master Chang Zhiren went to Yangzhou to serve as the general judge, isn't it just for this."

Wang Zimo smiled wryly when he heard the words, she knew Chang Renzhi's tricks, the case fell into his hands, and he had to pull out the carrots and take it all together, so no one could get a cheap one.Naturally, Wang Zimo doesn't like to see the elders, but in Youdao, everyone is prosperous, and everyone is hurt. She is of the blood of the Wang family, and the crime of the Wang family will do more harm than good to her.

Seeing Wang Zimo like this, Chen Shiyun couldn't help persuading him: "Don't worry, the old man of the Wang family is still in transit, the governor of the state capital, no matter how you say it, the sky is falling and the tall man will bear it."

However, Wang Zimo didn't believe this. An idiot like Wang Qishen is not reliable in being an official when he has nothing to do. Now that a major event is at stake, he has no way out, and he might even be blamed by the superior.
