Because His Majesty the Emperor had a special meal for him, the He family was living in a state of excitement this year: Alas, our family was actually noticed by His Majesty the Emperor.
Of course, His Majesty the Emperor's recent attention seems to be more about honors than benefits.
However, this year, because a rich man like Uncle Chen was celebrating the New Year with the He family, He Zijin, A Liejun, brother A Nian, etc. all received red envelopes.
Even He Luo and several members of the family received one each.
Uncle Chen was very happy when he handed out the red envelope, and this joy was not pretended at all, he was really happy from the bottom of his heart.
Seeing that the He family was about to become prosperous, Miss He did not begrudge this little money at all.
What's more, He Luo and the others are all high-ranking officials.
I met him in the countryside on weekdays.
Even though they are not richer than Uncle Chen, they have fame and status.
In terms of status, they are only higher than Uncle Chen.
Uncle Chen really took advantage of the He family and acted like a senior in front of others.
Therefore, it is also very happy to take some money.
What's more, if you have good luck and become a Jinshi in the spring of March, your future will be brighter.
Even if you don't become an official or return to your hometown, you will still be a first-class decent person.
It was only when Uncle Chen arrived in the imperial capital that he deeply felt the importance of fame.
Just like this incident about Mr.
Chen, if Shen Su hadn't helped to find out more about it from Shilang Su, Uncle Chen would have nowhere to use it even if he had money. , Uncle Chen's family also hopes that his grandson will go to school.
However, there are only scholars among the grandsons, and there are no candidates to be elected.
Therefore, looking at the master of the courtyard, Uncle Chen's heart is not to mention the sour and envious feeling.
Uncle Chen sighed deeply with Mrs.
He and said, "His aunt, you are a blessing."
Mrs.
He raised her eyebrows that her girl had drawn in the morning, and said very helpfully, "Does it need to be said?"
Her good fortune can be seen by anyone with eyes.
Uncle Chen smiled, flattered Mrs.
He for a few words, and then went out to watch the children play.
He was getting older.
Back then, he had to sell his daughters for salt.
When he got older, his heart softened and he paid special attention to his children.
Therefore, when something happened to the Ning family this time, Uncle Chen personally took care of his two sons and went to the imperial capital to ask for help.
In this way, little Chen's life was saved.
Xiao Chen's face was still haggard and pale.
She was beside Mrs.
He, listening to the excitement in the house and courtyard, and was in a daze.
He Zijin was taking his younger brothers to open red envelopes.
Today was a holiday, and the elders each gave one.
After opening it, they found that Uncle Chen was the most open-minded and Mrs.
He was the least stingy.
He Zijin pretended to ask, "Hey, hey, Who gave you this twenty-coin red envelope?"
Madam He smiled, "There is such a thing, I have never seen too few.
In the past, when my family was poor, there would be no red envelopes during the New Year."
He Zijin just joked and kept all the red envelopes he received.
A Nian gave the money to his sister Zijin and kept it together.
Ah Lie has never had much idea about financial management, so he always asked his sister to help him save money, and Brother Jun followed his brother's lead.
He Zijin always had a clear account, so he took the New Year's money from his younger brothers and said, "I will keep all the money in my accounting book.

Just ask me for your money."
Madam He craned her neck to look at her.
Even though she asked Yatou Pianzi to rob He every year, Madam He was still unwilling to do so.
She said to her two grandsons, "Let grandma save it for you so that you can buy a house and land in the future."
The key thing about He Lao Niang is that her credit is not very good.
Especially, it is easy for the money to enter her pocket, but it is difficult to get it out.
The same goes for Mr.
Shen.
When his children ask for money, they will inevitably ask questions.
Therefore, Brother Aliejun likes to ask his sister to save money for them.
Brother Jun is young and straightforward, "My name is Sister Cun" Mrs.
He muttered, "You heartless boy."
Ah Lie is older and is particularly good at coaxing people.
He said with a smile, "Ask my sister to save these little money.
When my grandson earns a lot of money in the future, I will ask my grandmother to keep it for me."
Madam He immediately beamed and made up her mind in private.
The eldest grandson has a big red envelope, which is worth five coins.
Ah Lie also gave this real gift to his sister.
After He Zijin found out, he had a laugh with Mrs.
He.
In order to show that she was a fair and fair person, Mrs.
He had to take out two more big red envelopes, one One movie for my girl and one for Brother Jun.
He Zijin was dissatisfied, "Didn't Ah Nian?"
Madam He said, "A-Nian is a distinguished person."
"Don't I call you grandma all the time because of your fame?"
He Zijin looked at He Lao Niang with a look of confusion and said, "You are really not partial."
He insisted on asking for another big red envelope from He Lao Niang.
She was so distressed that she complained to her son, "In the blink of an eye, half an acre of land was given away."
He Gong smiled, "I'll make up for mother later."
He Lao Niang said listlessly, "What's yours is not mine, so what's the point of mending it?
It's just turning from left hand to right hand."
There is no way to coax her, but she understands.
He Gongxiao couldn't speak clearly.
Uncle Chen teased Zijin, "Now you know how to protect A-Nian."
He Zijin smiled, "I am dealing with the situation but not the person."
This also shows that the He family comes from an ordinary family, and the family members have never been shy about talking about marriage.
After everyone chatted and laughed for a while, it was time to eat dumplings.
Before eating dumplings, He Gong took Ah Lie out to set off firecrackers.
At this time, the firecrackers from the neighbors were going off endlessly.
We went out to breathe, except for the cold wind in the morning of New Year's Day.
The fresh air is the smell of gunpowder from firecrackers.
When eating dumplings in the morning, He Zijin ate three dumplings filled with copper coins in a row.
Mrs.
Shen smiled brightly and said, "Sure enough, there is wealth."
He Lao Niang said anxiously, "These dumplings are the same.

Why are they only going to one person's bowl?"
She, she also wants to eat copper coin dumplings, okay?
Brother Jun straightened his neck and shouted, "Yes, yes, I also want to eat rich dumplings."
He Zijin said, "This is not delicious, so be careful not to clap your teeth."
"It really doesn't hurt when I stand and talk."
She is not afraid of scratching her teeth at all, so why can't she eat it?
Madam He was so anxious that she finally uttered "Hey" with a smile on her face and ate it.
La She really loved her grandson.
She spit out the copper coins in the dumplings and put the remaining half of the lucky dumplings into Brother Jun's bowl.
She said with a partial look on her face, "My dear grandson, it's very delicious soon." " He Zijin turned his face away and did not look at it curiously.
Everyone happily ate dumplings on the first day of the Lunar New Year and drank dumpling soup.
The men and women talked together.
When it seemed that the time was about the same, Mrs.
He said to her son, "Now they want to come to the in-laws' house."
After dinner, you take your children over to say New Year greetings.
Since Asu came to the imperial capital to be an official, he hasn’t said New Year’s greetings in the past few years.”
He Gong stood up and responded.
Everyone went together.
The He family and the Shen family were serious relatives.
The He Luo family and the others in the emperor all had Shen Su to take care of them, not to mention Chen's uncle.
The Xiao Chen family's lawsuit was thanks to Shen Su's help in investigating.
Therefore, they all left, leaving little Chen to talk to Mrs.
He.
Seeing that she was not very happy, Mrs.
He persuaded her, "Afang, I love you the most.
Auntie, instead of saying those vain words, just say, you are only in your early thirties this year, and you still have a long way to go." .
When I was your age, your uncle gave up.
At that time, no one said that my life was miserable. " Xiao Chen felt sad and whispered, "How can I compare with my aunt?"
"You are much better than me.
You have a natal family, do I have one?
My natal family is worse than not having one.
Later, the third girl defected to me.
She has been eating and drinking for many years without earning a penny from her.
She has been in charge of food and drink for several years.
I was in charge, and later I was compensated fifty taels of silver.
My son is fine.
When your short-lived ghost uncle died, your family was not yet prosperous.
Your father ran a small grocery store business.
Your mother just wanted to help me, but she had seven children and they couldn't even get enough food and drink. , but also because I am helpless.
You see, I live in a big house now.
You are better off now, but you don't know the hard times.
Now that you have a biological father and a biological mother, and your brother and sister-in-law are not mean, they can't do anything wrong to you.
When you were in the Ning family, our family was not as good as his family.
His family is widowed and our family has no choice but to come out today, just in time to think about it. , Find another husband, and after three to five years, your life will be better.
When you are my age, you will still enjoy the blessings of children and grandchildren."

He peeled off an orange and said, "You have to think that life is hard.
It’s bitter.
If you think it’s sweet, it’s up to you.”
It's not that Xiao Chen hasn't thought about her future.
She has been thinking about it since she was released from prison, but after thinking about it, she really can't think of what she can do at her age.
In the past, in the Ning family, they abided by the rules, and the Ning family could not treat her badly for the sake of face.
Now that she was out and could make her own choice, she was at a loss.
Especially looking at the life of her aunt and her family, full of cousins and children, Xiao Chen's heart felt as sour as green grape juice.
She has a weak temperament, but she is not ungrateful.
Besides, she was really close to her aunt when she was young.
Hearing what her aunt said, Xiao Chen couldn't help but ask, "How can I still get married?"
"Why not?"
Madam He said sternly, "Now the imperial court does not encourage observing the law.
As long as you want to marry, with our family's reputation in your hometown, you can choose a good and well-off family.
Of course, it is incomparable to the Ning family.
Yes.
You also know the situation in our county."
Xiao Chen took courage and said, "I'm not afraid of hardship either."
"That's good."
Mrs.
He talked to her about many things.
She knew that her niece had a hard life and was a widow.
But having said that, she is still innocent, and it was the Ning family who committed the crime.
Xiao Chen was sentenced to divorce by the government because she was a chaste woman.
She wanted to remarry, which made sense from both human feelings and legal principles.
After persuading Xiao Chen to think about the future, Xiao Chen felt a little happier.
It turns out that Xiao Chen is really a soft-hearted person, and she even discussed with Mrs.
He whether she could send something to the prison for the Ning family.
He Lao Niang said, "There are many relatives in his family.
I heard that there is also a relative of some kind of uncle.
If his relatives can take care of it, the Ning family will not be able to endure the suffering.
If his relatives can't take care of it, even high-ranking officials like him can't take care of it."
"Come on, people like us don't have the ability to know everything."
Mrs.
He has always disliked the Ning family.
Although she had gone to his family to curry favor with him before, but having said that, the Ning family was not honest in doing things.
Don't we know what our son is like?
Uncle Chen is greedy for money and has problems with his character, but the matter of being a widow cannot be decided by the family.
Xiao Chen finally came out today, why bother getting in again.
In particular, the Ning family was the only one who had such evil ideas about her girl Jiajie, even if the previous friendship was gone.
Moreover, Mrs.
He heard that she had to stuff money into the prison, although the Chen family's money was not It was her business, but Mrs.
He, with her usual shrewd calculations, felt that it would be better to keep the money to add to Xiao Chen's dowry than to throw it into prison.
Mrs.
He had some private conversations with Mr.

Chen, and He Gong led a group of people out of the courtyard to go to the Shen family to pay New Year's greetings.
Sure enough, the Shen family opened the door, and a boy was waiting in the concierge.
Seeing that the He family had arrived, he quickly greeted his aunt, aunt, wife, and young master, saying auspicious words neatly while letting people in.
Because it was the festival, two red lanterns were hung on the eaves outside the door, and lights were hung along both sides of the road, illuminating the entire mansion.
The servants at home also changed into new festive cotton-padded clothes, and they were all in good spirits, and they only had nice words to say to everyone.
When the He family arrived, the Shen family had also eaten dumplings.
He Gong and his whole family first paid New Year's greetings to his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and then He Zijin took his brothers to pay New Year's greetings to his uncle and aunt.
After that, it was about receiving red envelopes.
Then, the children talked about the red envelopes in one place, and the adults talked together.
Shen Su also said, "Yesterday, I invited my sister, brother-in-law, and the old lady from the in-laws to celebrate the New Year with their children.
The old lady from the in-laws was not happy, so they all came over for lunch today."
Mrs.
Shen smiled and said, "It's you who go over today.
It's a blessing.
Last night, I got a royal meal from the emperor.
My family has never seen this before, so we didn't dare to eat it.
We gave it to our ancestors first."
Our old lady said Let’s take it out and try it together at noon today.
Asu, sister-in-law, father and mother, please bring Ah Xuan and the others over and let’s eat together.”
When I mention it, my face feels bright.
Shen Su staggered in shock and said, "An imperial meal."
"Yes, I asked Eunuch Yu to deliver it yesterday.
Zi Jin said that Eunuch Yu is the one who often delivers orders and things in front of the emperor."
After hearing this, Mrs.
Shen quickly said, "This is a rare honor."
Mr.
Shen also said, "Yes, I heard from Asu that ministers with meritorious service in the court can receive blessings from His Majesty on the New Year's Eve.
How come our Zijin gets a table?"
Shen laughed, "This is different.
How can we compare with the adults in the court?
I asked Zi Jin to go to the palace to plant flowers.
I mentioned our family background to Your Majesty, so Your Majesty gave us a meal."
Last night, the He family all found a reasonable explanation for this matter.
Although Mr.
Shen and Mrs.
Shen have lived in the imperial capital for several years, due to Shen's official position, they themselves are not very knowledgeable people.
After listening to their daughter's words, the two of them felt that it was reasonable, and they both laughed and said, "Then this time we can take advantage of our Zijin and have a taste of the emperor's food."
He Zijin had left some food in the palace.
Hearing this, he said, "It's delicious.
It tastes better than what we cook at home."
Everyone laughed when they heard this.
The emperor's food was incomparable to that of ordinary people.
Shen Su looked at the two happy families and felt really sad.
Hasn't anyone noticed that something is wrong with this?
The author has something to say: S: Yesterday night, so you replace it in advance today hahahahahaha.
