Chapter 717 I don't know how to worry
The Spring Festival is approaching, and Huo Xi is too busy to do anything.
First, I settled accounts with the shopkeepers and managers of the shop, and made plans and arrangements for next year. Now that the sugar workshop is donated, the income of the business will be reduced by half.
However, in the past two years, the Four Seas Bank has been slowly making money. As more and more shops are opened, in two years, it will be able to turn into a leading money-making shop.
Of course, it does not mean that the bank is losing money now. In fact, each branch is making a lot of money, but because the money in the previous shop is relatively large, the account has only gradually become positive now.
Uncle Li Yu came to Beijing to participate in the meeting, and learned that Huo Xi helped his uncle's family get rid of crimes, and went straight to pray to Buddha.
"If your maternal uncle hears the news, he should wipe his eyes and shed tears."
The family lived well with Huo Xi these years, but thinking of the uncle's family still in exile in Shangyong, they couldn't sleep at night.
"Why didn't you write to tell us the good news?" This Xi'er, the news was hidden tightly, and she couldn't hold it back until now.
"The pardon document issued by the emperor may not reach the Shangyong county government until after the next year. I don't want to say anything before the end of the matter."
Li Yu nodded, "Exactly. Xi'er, you are right in thinking. We know it ourselves, so we should not make it public."
Huo Xi nodded.
Li Yu was excited for a while, and then asked her, "The uncle's family is going back to Xunyang's hometown?"
"I won't go back. My grandfather's family has been expelled from Xunyang's hometown. Now that the clan is divided, they are not part of the same clan. What's the point of going back?"
Speaking of this, Li Yu was also very angry.
When the Xunyang clan expelled the uncle's family from the family tree, his father also separated his family from the genealogy in a fit of anger.
Later, he went to Huzhou to join his elder brother's father-in-law, and settled down there.
"Then I'll tell my father when I go back and ask him to help find a secluded place in Huzhou to settle down with your grandfather's family."
"Thank you, Uncle Yu. It's just that there's no need. I'll help my grandfather set up a Zhuangzi near the capital first, and let them settle in the Zhuangzi first. I still hope that they can be resettled near the capital. Sheng'er's generation will be able to pass the imperial examination and become an official." , it’s better to stay near the capital.”
"You are right in thinking. Does your grandfather have any concerns?"
"I will convince my grandfather. For Sheng'er and the others, my grandfather will also consider it."
"Okay, then my family will help to make some preparations. Shall we send someone to pick them up?"
"Don't worry, Uncle Yu, I'll wait for my grandfather's reply, and I'll help arrange it later. When I get the letter of approval, I'll send someone to notify you."
"Okay, don't forget. Your granduncle is always on your mind."
"Okay. I won't forget."
After finishing the work in the shop, Huo Xi started to work in the house.
The mansion is now in her hands, she doesn't want to take care of things, but Mu Yan refuses.
Said that Zhongfu must fall into the hands of Dafang, so that he can feel at ease. He was frightened when he was young, but now that he has deployed people everywhere in the mansion, he is never at ease in handing over to Mrs. Geng Tai, and he is not at ease in handing over to Sifang.
Huo Xi had no choice but to take it.
Now that the Spring Festival is approaching, the people in the mansion are dealing with people and socializing, and the invitations are piled up like a hill. As the wife of the eldest son, she reads the invitations every day, and it takes up half a day to return the invitations.
I feel dizzy every day, and I don’t feel safe.
Finally, I was able to have some free time today, thinking that when Mu Yan brought her son back from her mother-in-law after she finished her work every day, Xiao Yuer fell asleep in his father's arms.
I feel a little sorry for my son.
Then he got up and went to find his son.
In the garden, a few little heads are getting together, squatting on the ground, not knowing what they are doing. Even speaking in a low voice, Huo Xi couldn't hear what the children were saying when he stood far away.
When I got closer, I heard them discussing how to move the ants.
Xiao Rouge, the son of Vanilla, said seriously. This is what his mother said, that it will snow tomorrow, and he remembers it.
Yang Fu's son, Yang Ji, heard that his mother had said it, and nodded quickly: "It's snowing, and the ants will freeze to death." Yan Zhi's mother was very accurate in seeing the weather. Say it snows and it will snow.
The two little girls, Mu Ying and Yang Yin, also nodded to help the ants move.
Huo Xi listened for a while, and couldn't help laughing.
"Little Rouge, did your mother say it will snow tomorrow?" She walked towards the children.
"Mom!" Xiao Yuer jumped forward with joy, got up so fast that he almost fell.
"Cousin!"
Huo Xi smiled at the children, then looked at Vanilla's son.
The child's name is "Lu Yanzhi", and she is still in her mother's womb. Vanilla insists on asking her to give her a nice name, and specifically declares that it should be easy to remember.
Huo Xi didn't want to take this job at first, and said that he would let Zhufeng take it. It's just that there are not as many vanilla as there are in Zhuifeng's reading, saying that he can't get it, and don't care about it.
Zhufeng's original surname is Lu. On the day of naming, Xiangcao and others were looking at the rouge developed by Huo Xi in the room. Huo Xi felt that the name was easy to remember, so it was better to call it Rouge.
Just saying that casually, Vanilla almost named her son Lu Rouge.
Later, Huo Xi had no choice but to change his real name to Lu Yanzhi and his nickname to Yanzhi.
This made Vanilla so proud that everyone said her son's name was nicer than Xia He Shihua and others' children's names. The noise made everyone ask Huo Xi to help them choose a name.
In the words of Mrs. Yan Tai, Cheng Shi and others, among the children, the name of Xiao Rouzhi is really memorable.
is even more proud of vanilla.
The little rouge powder is puffy, probably because of wearing too much, her face is flushed, like two **** of rouge, "Auntie, my mother said that it is snowing, let me wear more."
"Really, it was Xiao Rouzhi's mother who said it? Then we have to listen to your mother. Tomorrow, we will all wear thick clothes, remember?"
"Remember, hold on, la!"
"So good."
Huo Xi touched the heads of several children one by one. These are his son's companions, and Xiao Yuer likes to play with them. She sent Zhuifeng away, and when Xiangcao got busy, she also threw Rouge in the mansion to take care of it.
If it is cold today, the children all wear hoods with fur around the brims, which are warm and beautiful. A strap is sewn on both sides of the hood and tied under the chin to fix it. At this time, the children have not grown their hair yet, and the little heads will not be cold with the hood.
"You can play, but you have to wear gloves, don't be cold, like last year Ji Ji got chilblains, it was so itchy that he cried."
Yang Ji nodded his head fiercely, and raised his gloved hands to Huo Xi and a few friends, "I want to wear gloves, the itching is really uncomfortable."
"Mother, Xiao Yuer is wearing it."
"I wear it too." "I wear it too."
"Alright, be good, everyone."
Huo Xi, Mrs. Cheng and Mrs. Yan took a few children to the house to warm up and eat. The children sat around and ate happily.
"Oh, I look at these children every day, and I feel a lot younger."
"No, I, like my aunt, love to see these children playing together." Cheng stared at his grandson, reluctant to leave.
Ms. Yan Tai and Mrs. Cheng both like children, and the greatest joy every day is to play with these children, coax them to eat and sleep, and they are very happy.
"Rouge's mother said that it will be snowing heavily tomorrow," Cheng frowned, "I don't know if Yan'er will be able to come back."
Half a month ago, Mu Yan was sent by the emperor to Huai'an and Yangzhou to do business. In a few days, it will be Chinese New Year. A few days ago, he wrote a letter saying that he would come back tomorrow. If it snows heavily, I don't know if it will stop him. journey.
Speaking of names, I named my sister's child. When I saw the names she chose, such as Shiyu, Shimeng, Yixuan, etc., I felt dizzy. The rosters of each school were turned over, and they were all with such names.
It's the same as the Weiguo founding of the country in the 1970s and 1980s, and the Xiuying Yuying, I don't even bother to complain about her.
I read the detailed outline of this novel, and before I knew it, there were hundreds of characters, and there were no less than two hundred characters with dialogue. Every time I named it, really, the dictionary was broken. When it comes to naming, I have a headache.
