Chapter 358 Return it
Yang Fu went to cover Huo Xi's mouth as soon as he jumped high.
Huo Xi turned his head to avoid it.
Yang Fu looked out the door with a guilty conscience, but seeing no one, he sat back on the bed lonely again, carefully folded the handkerchief in his hand and put it back in his arms.
At the end, she even touched it, and explained to Huo Xi: "I took the clerk to deliver the goods that day, and wiped away the ashes, and she lent me to wipe her hands."
"Then you didn't return it, did you leave it yourself?"
"What is ignorance!"
Yang Fu stared at her with a puffy face: "I, I want to return it."
"Aren't you willing to pay it back?"
Yang Fu was silent.
Yes, he just didn't want to pay it back. It is not ignorant. How ugly to say.
This is the beginning of love. The stunned uncle finally got a little enlightened.
It’s just that this enlightenment is a bit scary. This Qin Huaiyu was raised by an official's family. Although she was down and out, her own sister married into an official's family. Could it be that this younger sister is going to marry a farmer's merchant?
"Uncle", Huo Xi said with difficulty, "Give that handkerchief back when you have a chance."
Yang Fu didn't raise his head, and it took a long time before he hummed.
"Mr. Qin...I'm afraid that he will have suspicions in his heart, and it will be bad if he suspects that we will repay you with kindness."
It’s not much of a favor, he is a great Confucian, there are always some disciples and old relatives who will take care of him. I just wanted to find another child from an ordinary family like Nian'er who was willing to teach, but there were no such great Confucians.
"Uncle understands. I will pay her back after the new year."
Huo Xi sighed, the first love of a young man, I'm afraid it will die young. He lifted his legs and walked out, leaving his uncle alone in the room.
Originally, she wanted to ask Sister Qin to go to the hot spring at Zhuangzi to soak in the hot spring, so she pressed the matter down.
On the fifth day of the lunar new year, after welcoming the God of Wealth, Shen Qianzhong, Zou Sheng, Lou Qingyao, and Yang Fu went back to the city to open a shop, and the others stayed. On the sixth day of the lunar new year, Huo Erhuai packed a big family and rowed to the hot spring village.
Huo Xi is proud of this Zhuangzi, and he hasn't soaked in the hot springs in Zhuangzi yet.
Don't talk about her, the whole family has never been in a bubble. As soon as I heard that I was going to go to the hot spring, I packed my luggage overnight.
Zhao Zhutou came out with his family and servants. Huo Xi settled everyone down and called Zhao Zhutou for questioning.
Originally, there were only three households of servants left in the village. Later, my uncle sent three households over, and Yang Fu also bought three households in the city. In this way, the village also had nine households of servants, which was enough manpower.
Looking through the account books, I found that the Zhuangzi sold flowers and vegetables in autumn and winter, and they also sold more than three hundred taels of silver. Including the money earned from selling flowers on the Double Ninth Festival, it was almost a thousand taels less, and the income was not bad.
This dish can be sold again until it is thawed. In addition to the income from the field, the Zhuangzi also has this extra silver, which is also very good.
"You take care of it well." Huo Xi praised Zhao Zhutou a few words. He had never been a farmer before, but Huo Xi drove him into the market. Seeing that he did well during the probationary period, he directly made him the dealer's head.
"It's just that the Zhuangzi around here grow flowers and vegetables, which is too common, and we don't stand out. This year, you can take the servants to study and see if you can grow some fruits in autumn and winter, such as watermelon, muskmelon, muskmelon, honeydew melon These."
Last year, Huo Xi was busy making sugar, so he didn't take care of the village. Everything is still as it was.
Because of the advantages of hot springs, the Zhuangzi in the vicinity also took advantage of this advantage to grow vegetables and flowers. Huo Xi felt that he could think more about it.
See if you can take advantage of this advantage and grow some melons that are out of season. There are many wealthy households in the capital, so they will surely sell for a good price.
Huo Xi encouraged him a few words, and then let him back down.
After everyone settled down, they took the family to the hot springs. Now that Yang's fetus is firmly seated, she can soak in the hot spring, but Huo Xi dare not let her soak for a long time. Although Yang was greedy, she didn't make a second soak. Her birth was not easy, and she was usually very cautious.
Yu Miao, who received a message from Yang Fu, was also sent to Zhuangzi by his father in a boat on the seventh day of the lunar new year.
In the soup pool, my skin was wrinkled, and I still refused to get up.
"Sister Xi'er, is this the good life of a rich family? It's snowing heavily outside, and the hot spring house is as warm as spring, and you can eat while soaking in the hot spring, and there are two older sisters helping you loosen your muscles and bones. It was just so enjoyable.”
Huo Xi was lying on the long couch beside her, and was letting Xiang Cao and Xia He massage her hands and feet. After hearing this, she laughed and said, "We are not from a rich family, so we can enjoy this too? In the future, just come if you want."
"Well, I will definitely come here often!"
Huo Xi smiled: "Didn't I ask my uncle to invite your whole family, why did you come alone? Your father just left you behind and ran away."
Yu Miao pretended to be melancholy: "Hey, who made my younger brother Jingui? My elder sister and I are the ones that no one cares about. They are poor girls who are going to marry someone else's family. My mother is afraid that something will happen to my brother. If you don’t leave the house, my sister will stay with her at home. Hey, otherwise, I’ll be a man in my next life.”
Huo Xi, Vanilla and Xia He all laughed when they heard this.
So happy and happy, I stayed on Zhuangzi until the Lantern Festival.
After eating breakfast on Zhuangzi, Huo Erhuai took the big family into the city in a boat. Huo Nian clamored to watch the lanterns, Huo Erhuai and Yang's were indifferent.
Arriving at the pier, Huo Xi hired a carriage and took the big guy to the house in the inner city. After a short rest, after sunset, several families went to the street to watch the lanterns together. Mrs. Yang didn't dare to go out, and stayed in the house accompanied by Grandpa Zou and grandma.
Lights are hung in the capital, from the first day to the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, and the lights are not stopped until the sixteenth night. The Lantern Festival is the most lively.
It was just after sunset, and there were crowds of people everywhere in central Beijing, and all kinds of lanterns were hung high, bright as day.
Huo Nian was held tightly by Huo Xi, and kept screaming with his mouth open all the way. However, he was too short, and his neck became sore after a while.
"Xiaokang rides Nianer."
Well?
Huo Xi was taken aback for a moment, and saw Bao Kang pointing to the child who was riding on his father's shoulders for everyone to see. This Xiaokang's words startled everyone.
"I miss you so much."
Huo Nian usually loves Bao Kang very much, and has always regarded him as a good friend. He has never laughed at him because of his lack of intelligence, and he does not want him to be troubled at this time.
Bao Xia and Zuo Shi followed the children, and looked at Huo Nian with relief: "It's okay, Xiaokang has great strength, and he can recite it easily."
Bao Kang nodded again and again: "Xiaokang is strong and can move his back." He squatted down beside Huo Nian while talking.
Huo Erhuai originally wanted to carry Huo Nian, but was snatched by Bao Kang, who helped Huo Nian ride on his shoulders: "When Xiaokang is tired, tell uncle, uncle will carry it."
"Xiaokang can recite." He happily walked ahead with Huo Nian on his back, and everyone saw it and hurriedly followed.
"Wow, Xiaokang, I can see farther and see clearly! Xiaokang, the light in front is so big and beautiful! Xiaokang, am I heavy?"
"It's not heavy, Xiaokang can carry it by heart."
Huo Xi was dragged by Yang Fu, and followed them, watching the lanterns all the way and buying all kinds of food, guessing lantern riddles and winning several lanterns, which were divided between Huo Nianbao Kang and the two maids.
Walking until he couldn't walk anymore, Yang Fu said he would go to the restaurant he had booked to sit and drink tea and watch the lights.
It is very difficult to book a private room in a restaurant during the Lantern Festival, but Yang Fu has been in Beijing for many years, and he has some contacts, and he started early, and he also grabbed a good place to watch the lanterns.
The family members were also tired from shopping, so they went to the restaurant together. After only two steps, Huo Xi stopped.
