Shen Shanyan was just talking casually, but seeing Yu Wen took what he said to heart, he couldn't help but feel a sense of responsibility, thought for a while, and said to Yu Wen: "Show me that painting again, I'll think about it Are there other trees like this?"

Compared with Yu Wen, his relatives and friends are on a higher level. There are many people who like to grow flowers and trees, and some of them even plant strange varieties to show their difference.

"The few seabuckthorn trees in Xia Guang's house were planted by Zijin to amuse Xia Guang, and Xia Guang didn't even bother to look at them, and the servants who waited on the flowers and trees certainly didn't care about them, they looked like miscellaneous trees. "Shen Shanyan continued, "When I was in the northwest, I saw that this tree could grow to the height of the house. The few seabuckthorn plants in their house are not as high as waist height. Even if you borrow tree seeds from their house, they probably won't be able to support them. Why don't you find out if there are other people who have raised this kind of tree."

He was so caring, Yu Wen naturally thanked him again and again.

The two of them pondered for a long time in the study, but they didn't think of anyone else who had planted such a tree. Shen Shanyan simply took away the painting and said, "I'm going home after a small year with Xia Guang here. I have the opportunity to ask your daughter."

During the Chinese New Year, Shen's family is full of people, and many relatives and friends will come to pay New Year's greetings.

"That's great!" Yu Wen was overjoyed, and when Shen Shanyan returned to Hangzhou, he put the half-knife Chengxin paper hidden at home in a box and gave it to Shen Shanyan for the ceremony.

Shen Shanyan really liked it, so he didn't refuse, and asked Yu Wen to wait for his news, and went back to Hangzhou City for the New Year.

The Yu family is also very lively.

After the new year, it starts to change peach charms, paste couplets, hang red lanterns, prepare offerings for ancestor worship, and dishes for the New Year's Eve dinner.

Yu Tang accompanied his father to grow daffodils and money oranges, and ordered Shuangtao and others to clean up the dust.

She also took the time to give Ma Xiuniang some rice cakes, maltose and her own head flowers made by Chen.

Ma Xiuniang was very happy, put down her work, took her into her inner room, and entertained her with dried persimmons from the cabinet: "I came from Fujian, it's so sweet, you will bring some back to my aunt later." Try it."

Yu Tang thanked Ma Xiuniang with a full smile, rolled his eyes up and down to look at Ma Xiuniang, and smiled.

Ma Xiuniang blushed immediately, and shoved her shyly: "What are you looking at? For a little girl who hasn't left the cabinet, don't let wild thoughts go."

Yu Tang laughed hahaha.

She just got a letter from Mrs. Chen, knowing that Ma Xiuniang was pregnant, so she came to see her specially.

Seeing this, Ma Xiuniang couldn't help laughing, and after the joke, her face was a little sad again, and she whispered something considerate to Yu Tang: "Before I got married, I knew that the Zhang family's economy was average, but I didn't expect It would be so bad. The husband was afraid that I would be wronged, so he kept copying books day and night. I was afraid that he would break his health, but he would not listen to any advice. He said that the family would have to spend more money when the child was born. Get ready." At this point, she took Yu Tang's hand, "If you don't come to me, I will also go to you—I want to pawn off my pair of silver bracelets, can you help me escape? A trip to the pawn shop?"

She is in charge of the family's dowry, and only she knows how much money was used. Although the family can't make ends meet, Zhang Hui will never use her dowry. Lin'an City is neither small nor big, she As the eldest lady of Ma Xiucai's family, many people know her. She dare not go to the Pei family's pawnshop to pawn things, for fear of being recognized by others and damaging Zhang Hui's reputation.

Yu Tang has encountered such a thing more than once before, a penny can really stump a hero.

She immediately shook Ma Xiuniang's hand and said, "Don't worry, I'll help you out this trip. I'll treat it as a job for you, and I'll redeem it later when my brother-in-law earns money."

It is good to be five out of ten in life, but seven out of ten or even eight out of ten in death.

Ma Xiuniang gritted her teeth, and said, "Treat me as dead. When your brother-in-law has money, I'll make another pair."

It's okay for Yu Tang to think about it.

In the previous life, when she got married, Ma Xiuniang gave her five taels of silver bracelets as a congratulatory gift. It can be seen that life is still going well, and the difficulties at this time are only temporary, as long as one can get over it.

"Sister, give me the things!" She said, "The Chinese New Year is the most expensive time, so I'll go quietly and come back quietly."

Ma Xiuniang nodded, tears were about to fall, she held her hand and said, "Ah Tang, thank you very much."

She didn't have the nerve to say too many words, but she felt grateful in her heart.

Yu Tang felt a little guilty.

In her previous life, she actually missed such a good friend.

Thinking of this, she thought of the Li family and the letter she sent to the Gu family when she went to Hangzhou City.

I don't know how the Gu family will react

Gu Xi is very angry now.

She knew that someone was plotting against her, but the problem was that what they said was the truth, and they did not wrong the Li family at all.

But why did the Li family do such a thing

Do you want to save face just because you can't get married

Then the Li family's mind is not only narrow, it can be said that it will be revenged.

Is she going to marry into such a family

The woman's world is limited to the inner house. In the future, she will eat in the same pot with Lin, and live in the same yard. When her upper lip touches her lower lip, if Lin feels upset, she wants to trouble her It's easy, is she just going to fight and live with such a woman

And Li Duan, his stepmother praised him to the sky, but he is actually a useless thing. The eldest grandson of the dignified Li family actually wears sackcloth and filial piety for others. He can't even handle this matter. Eighth and Ninth are also guys who can only struggle on the fourth rank. How else can we say that the third generation sees to eat, and the fifth generation sees through? A person from a small family is a person from a small family, and even wearing brocade clothes is not a celebrity!

Gu Xi's beautiful face was as cold as a layer of frost and snow.

No, she can't just accept her fate like this.

She had to tell her elder brother, her father... and her stepmother about this, so don't try to please her.

Gu Xi tightened the royal blue squirrel cloak with a plain face, and said to the wet nurse in a cold voice: "Come on, let's go see the boss of the long room!"

The nurse always knew that she seemed weak but actually had a strong temper. She was shocked when she heard this, and hurriedly took her hand, and said anxiously: "Miss, you can't go! This is the matter of the second wife after all, it's a big trouble." , the master will not help you for the sake of face. You'd better wait for the young master to come back!"

The young master of their family wrote a letter two months ago saying that he would follow the censor of Zhejiang Road to come back to have a look after the next year.

The nanny tried hard to persuade Gu Xi: "Wait another month at most. As long as the young master comes back, everything will be solved."

Gu Xi sneered, and said: "Of course I have to wait for my elder brother to come back, but I can't sit still. They make me unhappy, and I won't make them feel better."

The wet nurse said: "Miss, you have to think twice before you act. The brothers and sisters of the Yu family clearly want to provoke you and make it difficult for you to celebrate the new year."

"Even if this is the case, it is impossible for me to calm down." Gu Xi raised her eyebrows, and the slender willow leaf eyebrows that entered her temples were like sharp knives. My good mother is ready. Don't think that I don't know about the nasty things she has done these years. I didn't say it before because I thought it was a joke for people to see it. It was our second wife who was talked about. My face is the same No light. I didn't expect that I would give in and back down, but I could bear to be a white-eyed wolf, meddling in my marriage is fine, and I still want to plot against me!"

She threw away the nanny and strode towards the house beyond the long house.

The nurse stomped her feet anxiously.

When we first talked about our marriage, the eldest lady and she had both seen people with their own eyes. Seeing that the young master was handsome and talented, although the young master was not happy about it, it is very rare for a scholar to grow up like this, so we acquiesced. .

But nothing is perfect in this world.

You have to be good-looking, you have to be able to read, and you have to have a good temperament...

The nurse looked at Gu Xi's figure who was about to disappear into the corner of the wall, and quickly chased after him.

Not to mention that the Gu family has not had a good year because of this incident, but the Yu family in Lin'an City is enjoying themselves happily. On the morning of the New Year's Eve, Yu Wen's family went to the uncle's house, and the female relatives helped cook. They sat in the hall and chatted.

After a simple meal at noon, the New Year's Eve dinner in the afternoon is particularly grand.

Cold cuts, hot dishes, seafood, seasonal vegetables, desserts, and snacks filled the table. Yu Bo opened a pot of Jinhua wine, and all the women in the family filled a glass, not to mention a special respect to the eldest aunt, thanking her for staying at home after the accident in the shop Thank you for your hard work, the eldest aunt stood there with a blushing face and was a little at a loss, neither drinking nor not drinking. But Yu Tang was still booing there: "Father, look at how nice uncle is! No wonder my aunt doesn't cry tired after working so hard. You should also toast my mother. My mother has worked hard this year too. The rice cakes were made by my mom, right? The maltose was made by my mom, right? And the quilt for brother’s wedding was also embroidered by my mom!”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Mrs. Wang sounded as if she had suddenly found a bosom friend, turned around and pulled Mrs. Chen up, and said to Yu Wen, "Not only do you have to respect your younger siblings, but we also have to respect your younger siblings." If it weren't for you, our family, A Yuan's marriage would not have gone so smoothly."

Chen Shi was already so ashamed that blood dripped from her face when Yu Tang praised her, but now she was pulled up by Wang Shi, unable to speak: "No, no, no, no..." and pretended to scold her Yu Tang, "You talk too much, why are you so ignorant!"

Fortunately, Yu Wen is a thick-skinned one, stood up with a smile on his face, and said: "Why don't you say that the elder brother goes first! I have to learn from the elder brother. The child's mother, our daughter is right, I offer you a toast .You have worked hard this year too."

Chen Shi was ashamed and happy at the same time, not knowing what to do, she lightly patted the culprit Yu Tang, glared at her, then raised her glass and drank a glass of wine embarrassingly.

Yu Yuan giggled.

Shuangtao, Ah Shao, Mrs. Chen and others also had smiles on their faces.

Yu Tang thought of the bleakness of this time in his previous life, and then looked at the excitement in front of him, his eyes were moist.
