I don’t know how the old ghost communicated with A-Nian.
A-Nian was very devoted to the old ghost’s wish, or maybe this was also A-Nian’s wish.
A Nian has been paying attention to the executions of the Ning family, and finally found traces of the Ning family.
Ning was the woman who made A-Nian's biological father abandon his wife and son and marry another.
I don’t know what she was like when she was young, but what A Nian saw was an old, thin, sad and tired woman.
Ah Nian calculated that this woman should be younger than his mother-in-law, but judging from her appearance, she already looked like an old woman.
Yes, it would be hard for anyone to have his whole family copied and executed.
Ah Nian did not rejoice in others' misfortunes, although he felt quite happy when he saw this woman's appearance.
Of course his biological father was a bitch, and of course Ning could say that she didn't know anything, and that her marriage was just her parents' order and the matchmaker's words.
But if the Ning family, a wealthy family in Sichuan, wanted to choose a son-in-law for their daughter, wouldn't they check the man's family background?
Such words cannot fool Anian.
Ah Nian didn't want to get entangled in these matters, he just said a few words to the woman.
The woman was very polite, mainly because A Nian was dressed in a very elegant manner.
After all, the woman was born into an official family and had been rich for half her life.
Her eyes were still accurate.
She said, "Young Master has been following me for a long time, but something happened."
Anian said, "I didn't know that Madam is Xu Ning's wife."
The woman was a little surprised, but asked, "Young master, do you recognize my husband?"
A Nian nodded, "The Ning family suffered such a tragedy.
I don't know why Mr.
Xu didn't come here with his wife."
If the person named Xu comes to the imperial capital, the old ghost's wish will be fulfilled.
"When my husband takes office, I dare not leave him lightly."
Seeing that Anian was so kind, the woman thought it would be unseemly to stand outside and talk, so she said, "Why don't you, young master, come with me to our home to talk."
A Nian shook his head and just said, "I know that the Ning family has suffered such an outcome, and Madam must be heartbroken.
However, things have become like this.
No matter how hurt Madam is, it will not help.
I advise Madam to bury the family and go to the funeral immediately."
Mr.
Xu is reunited, don’t stay in the imperial capital any longer.”
Women also want to go back to reunite with their husbands, but when the little princess said this, she was afraid that there was something else going on, so she quickly asked, "What do you mean by this, young master?"
Anian sighed, "Madam, don't you know what kind of character Mr.
Xu is?
When Mr.
Xu was studying, he was from a poor peasant family.
His first wife worked hard for him and provided for his scientific examination.
What happened next?"
The woman's expression suddenly changed.
Ah Nian was so discerning and said softly, "It seems that Madam knows his character.
Back then, when the Ning family was a prominent figure, he could give up his first wife and marry Madam.
Now that the Ning family has been convicted and executed, Madam must be careful. yes."
After Anian finished speaking, he nodded slightly to the woman and then left.
The woman shouted urgently, "Please stay" A Nian ignored him and went straight away.
A-Nian told Sister Zijin about this matter, and Sister Zijin said, "This woman is at a vulnerable time.
Your provocation will definitely make her suspicious in the future."

Feeling that A-Nian has done a good job, Sister Zijin and Ah Nian agrees with one thing.
The Ning family may not know anything about Xu Ning's past events.
However, there are many heartless men in the world.
Sister Zijin, on the other hand, admired the Ning family's courage and said to Anian, "You said that the Ning family is weird.
If you want to let me go, your daughter would rather stay at home than marry such a person."
A Nian disagreed and said, "The Ning family just didn't expect that their entire family would be executed."
Ah Nian provoked her once, but she didn't expect them to come to her door the next day.
A-Nian was quite surprised, and Ning said, "Although I don't recognize Jiang Tanhua, a servant has seen Jiang Tanhua's glory when he praised his officials in Huatian Street.
It turns out that Jiang Tanhua is from Shu.
I didn't know what Jiang Tanhua told me that day.
What do you mean by those words?”
Ah Nian's mind was racing and he sighed, "My wife's cousin once married the sixth master of your family's second wife.
When my wife went to Sichuan to sell flowers, she had to be cared for by the Ning family's second wife.
I am weak and can't do anything about the Ning family's lawsuit.
But since he knew that his wife was coming to the imperial capital, An Neng said, "She looks like a good person."
Ning said goodbye and left.
The He family didn't say anything about Ning's arrival.
They thought that Ning came to the imperial capital to help her mother-in-law's family with their funeral arrangements.
The main reason is that I am too busy in the next year and have no time to take care of the Ning family.
The Ning family had helped the He family back then, but their plan later was also true.
The young Chen family has returned to their hometown, and the entire Ning family has been slaughtered.
It is a rare blessing for a married woman like Ning to not be implicated.
After the Ning family ended up like this, the He family had no desire to add insult to injury, nor did they have the desire to have any further contact with the Ning family.
Seeing the end of the New Year, Mrs.
Shen and Mrs.
He sorted out all the new clothes they had just made for the New Year.
Ms.
Shen smiled, "Coming to the Imperial Capital, the spending on clothes in a year is much more than in the past.
Woolen cloth."
He Lao Niang said, "It's okay.
This is the first year.
We also brought a lot of materials here, but the leather purchase cost a lot of money.
But then again, isn't this family prosperous?
Besides, this is the imperial capital, If the clothes are not neatly arranged, I am afraid that some people will look down on our men."
Mrs.
Shen just said it casually.
Thinking of the prosperous life at home, she felt happy.
He Zijin was doing accounting with the third girl.
Now that the accounting is done, he needs to give a copy of the accounts to his partner, Mrs.
Xiao Tang, Tie Shi, and the year-end bonus money must also be sent to Mrs.
Xiao Tang.
He Zijin discussed with the third girl, "It would be better to ask Mrs.
Tang to send an accountant over."
The third girl said, "Yes, please mention it to Mrs.
Tang when you go."

He Zijin did not go to the Tang family by himself, she went with Hu Wen.
He Zijin went to the inner house to talk to Mrs.
Tang, and Hu Wen had a steward outside to entertain her.
The main thing is that everyone should get to know each other first.
The second time I went to the Tang Mansion, the two wintersweet trees in Mrs.
Tang’s yard were in bloom, and there was a cold fragrance in the wind.
He Zijing also gave Mrs.
Tang four pots of wintersweet.
Mrs.
Tang was very kind. , for a small official like He Zijin, The man who was born and then married to a petty official was equally enthusiastic and said with a smile, "Come in quickly, it's cold outside, but the house is warm."
He ordered the maid to put on the stove to warm He Zijin's hands, and praised He Zijin for bringing it.
Two pots of flowers, he smiled and said, "What handsome flowers."
He Zijin smiled and said, "You also know that I have always loved taking care of these flowers and plants.
I raised them at home.
In line with the season, I brought them to you to enjoy."
Mrs.
Xiao Tang said, "You have this kind of spirituality.
There is a gardener in my family, but the flowers you grow are just not as charming as yours."
After everyone exchanged greetings, He Zijin handed over the bonus of the year to Mrs.
Tang.
Mrs.
Tang smiled and asked the maid to take it away, saying, "My master said that our shop is doing well."
He Zijin smiled and said, "Master Xiao Tang often comes to support me, and I say that this is a good way to keep the wealth from going to outsiders."
Mrs.
Xiao Tang was very happy to hear this.
He Zijin once again talked about asking Mrs.
Xiao Tang to assign an accountant, but Mrs.
Xiao Tang said, "It's pretty good now.
I can trust you in your work."
He Zijin smiled and said, "The business of our shop seems to be okay now, but I think, after all, we have just arrived in the imperial capital and have limited experience.
If my wife has useful people, we can discuss how to do it together."
It’s the best of both worlds if we want to be more prosperous.
Besides, it’s only right for my wife to set up a counting house for such a big shop.”
Mrs.
Xiao Tang did not refuse anymore and said, "Then I will send someone who can take care of accounts during the Chinese New Year.
You will still be in charge of the store.
The business is good now, which proves that you can manage it well.
I will send someone to intervene rashly and counterattack."
It's superfluous.
There can't be two owners in a country.
Whoever is in charge of this shop is in charge.
Don't restrain your hands because of feelings.
When the accounting office comes, he will only be in charge of the accounts. " He Zijin feels lucky to have such a sober and understanding partner.
Mrs.
Tang stayed with her for lunch and sent two pots of wintersweet to her mother-in-law.

Mrs.
Tang heard that it was Mrs.
Jiang Tanhua who sent her, so she asked He Zijin to come over and talk.
Mrs.
Tang was worthy of being the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of Mrs.
Tang.
She was as kind and smiling as she was.
First she praised the flowers and then the people.
He Zijin naturally had nothing but flattery towards Mrs.
Tang.
Before he left, Mrs.
Tang ordered someone to take care of her.
Two things He Zijin gave He Zijin fresh and colorful materials and said with a smile, "This is a reward from the palace.
At my age, I can't wear such bright clothes.
You young people are at the age when you should dress up.
You can take these two materials back and cut them."
Wear some clothes.”
He Zijin said it was expensive, and Mrs.
Tang laughed, "It's a coincidence.
We just divided the ingredients today, and I still have them here.
Just keep this."
He Zijin thanked him again and again and accepted it.
When He Zijin left the Tang family, he needed two fresh materials.
When He heard that they were gifts from the palace, he quickly touched and looked at them, and she said they looked good.
Mrs.
Shen also said, "I heard from the third girl a while ago that purple is the most fashionable color right now.
This smoky purple is so beautiful.
It's just the right time for each of you to wear one piece of clothing."
The third girl smiled and said, "I already got new clothes at the end of the year, so I don't have to make them anymore.
Let my sister make the clothes."
He Zijin liked the material when he looked at it.
He just thought about the new clothes he had made at the end of the year and said, "I also have new clothes."
After thinking about it, he said, "Why don't you give some to your aunt?
She often goes out to socialize. , it’s decent to make clothes.
You can keep the rest, we will make the same thing next year.”
The Shen family has helped the He family a lot.
When He Zijin mentioned this, everyone had no objection.
Even Mrs.
He felt a little sorry for the good things coming out of the palace, but considering that her house was given by Shen Su, she had no objection.
He said, "If you want to give it to me, just give it here.
Ah Xuan's mother said that she will be drinking here and there during the New Year, so it's better to make it in a hurry.
It's better to wear it out during the New Year."
The two families are close to each other, so delivering things is only a few steps away.
This matter was brought by He Zijin.
She has been busy recently and has not seen her grandmother for several days.

When Jiang saw the material, he praised it.
Hearing that it came from the palace, Jiang even smiled and said to He Zijin, "This kind of thing is suitable for you to make your own clothes."
He Zijin smiled, "I still have some.
Besides, I can't go out much this year, but my aunt socializes more.
I thought Mrs.
Tang's things must be good, so I brought them to my aunt."
Jiang said to her mother-in-law, "Zijin has been like this since he was a child.
He has some good things.
I thought of it."
Mrs.
Shen asked with a smile, "This is not good."
Jiang laughed and said, "How can it be bad?
Otherwise, how could I get such good materials."
As he said this, he started laughing again.
Old Mrs.
Shen took her granddaughter's hand and said, "Come with me and your aunt to have dinner tonight.
You haven't been here for several days."
Jiang also asked, "What are you busy with?"
He Zijin smiled, "It's nothing.
It's just that our roast duck shop wasn't opened in the first year, and the annual accounts and dividends were paid, and the guys came all the way here.
They have been working hard for half a year, and they are all fellow villagers from our hometown." , I have to give them something during the Chinese New Year.
I also heard from my uncle that the imperial court will hold an enke ceremony next year.
I heard that many students have come to the imperial capital.
My grandmother has written another book.
It has just been printed and I have to go to the bookstore to read it.
Let’s see how it sells.”
Jiang was shocked and said, "Oh, your grandmother has published a book again."
This old lady from the in-laws is simply a book-publishing maniac.
Mrs.
Shen smiled and said, "I never heard my parents mention it before."
He Zijin smiled, "The last set sold only more than 3,000 copies.
Grandma felt that it was not very respectable.
So, we didn't publicize it everywhere this time.
In fact, the sales this time were better than the last time. .
I’ll probably send the book to my grandmother in a few days.”
Mrs.
Shen, Mrs.
Jiang's mother-in-law and her daughter-in-law couldn't help but feel happy when they thought of Mrs.
He's show-off temperament.
In the evening, He Zijin had dinner at Shen's house.
Jiang praised He Zijin to her husband again, saying that He Zijin was filial, capable and knew how to live a good life.
Shen Su smiled and said, "That's right, haven't you heard that a nephew is like an uncle?
Zi Jin is like me."
Ah Xuan said to his father, "Dad, be humble and modest."
Everyone was chatting and laughing.

It was a cool night.
He Zijin had just finished dinner when he saw A Nian coming to pick her up.
Seeing the love between the young couple, Jiang said that A Nian was a considerate person.
In the evening, Mrs.
Jiang took out the material He Zijin gave her and looked at it again, and said to her husband, "Look at this material.
I have seen clothes made of this material worn by other ladies in the past, but they are not as good as the ones I wore."
This.”
Shen Su said, "Is it the same as those used by beauties and those used by queens?
They are both used by nobles, but they are definitely different.
There are also differences in the gifts given to officials in the palace.
The ones given to Mrs.
Tang Xiang must be the first class. " Jiang nodded, "Zijin is a very talented kid.
Everyone who meets her doesn't like her."
Shen Suxiao said, "This is the best.
It is better to behave well with others than to be evil with them.
How far can those who go out only to see their enemies go?"
The couple said something back and rested.
After Jiang got this material, he immediately asked the maid to make a skirt for her.
She wore it when going out during the New Year's Eve.
She was indeed very decent.
The He family also had a good harvest at the end of the year.
Both Hu Wen and the three girls got a lot of dividends.
The shopkeeper and the master also got their own income as agreed upon.
In addition, each of them got a bonus in the end of the year.
Big red envelope.
In particular, apprentices and young men are supposed to be in charge of food and accommodation but do not receive wages.
Only when they are waiters do they start to receive wages.
The He family has always been kind.
Everyone has red envelopes, but there are just some differences.
In addition, everyone also wears new clothes in the next year.
The master shopkeeper and accounting clerk are all made of fine cotton. of.
A Nian, He Gong, and his son-in-law each received a New Year's gift from the Hanlin Academy.
These are already quite a lot, but there are two other big ones, namely the New Year's group worship silver and the sealing silver.
He Zijin wouldn't have known about it if he hadn't experienced it personally.
Officials also have such subsidies.
For example, Anian He Gong, who has just entered the Imperial Academy, the total of the two people's annual group worship and sealing silver is more than 100 taels, which is only a lot more than the annual salary.
This is someone who has just started working as a errand, and someone like Shen Su will naturally be richer.
As for those minister-level officials, the numbers can be imagined.
Mrs.
He said with a bright smile, "Oh, they all say that the New Year is difficult, it depends on who you are.
Now that you are an official, the New Year will be better."
With this amount of money, annual gifts and so on will not be a problem.
The father-in-law and his father-in-law began to have their own social relationships.
It was also an expense for colleagues to exchange gifts at the end of the year.
Fortunately, both Weng and son-in-law were minor officials, and it was very common for colleagues to exchange greetings, such as fruit snacks and drinks.

Moreover, things like walking in ceremony also come and go, and etiquette reciprocates.
Compared with the group worship silver and the knot seal silver, the amount required for the ceremony is a small amount.
Therefore, Mrs.
He secretly said to her daughter-in-law Shen, "It's strange that everyone wants to be an official.
At first, I just thought that being an official would mean a salary."
I didn't expect that in addition to salary, there was a lot of money.
Mrs.
Shen smiled, "I thought so too."
She was even more determined to raise all her sons.
As long as they got a good name in the examination, even if they just became an imperial scholar like her husband, they would have no worries for the rest of their lives.
The end of the New Year is all kinds of busy and lively.
The Shen family also invited a theater troupe to perform at home and invited colleagues to come over for New Year wine.
The whole family of the He family went over to listen to the opera.
Years ago, the He family also received letters from the Chen family and the Jiang family.
The Chen family's letter was addressed to He Lao Niang, the Jiang family's letter, one from Jiang Ren was addressed to He Zijin, and the other was addressed to He Zijin.
Jiang's.
He Zijin received a five hundred tael banknote from Jiang Ren's trustee, but the He family was shocked.
Jiang Ren wrote in the letter that it was the income from selling books last year, but in fact it was just the income from selling books. part, Jiang Ren said, he left After spending three hundred taels of silver, he had opened a shop in Rongcheng and was planning to open a bookstore in the prefecture.
He also asked He Zijin to find some books for him.
Jiang Ren then listed the types of books, most of which were from the imperial examination.
Books such as test question examples.
He Lao Niang smacked her tongue and said, "This kid A Ren is really promising."
Then, everyone read the letters from the Chen family.
They were written by Aunt Chen.
Most of them talked about things in her hometown.
In addition, the young Chen remarried to a middle-class family in Bishui County.
The man in that family died and his daughter-in-law died.
She has only one daughter, she is loyal and reliable, and she had planned her wedding a few years ago.
Hearing this, Mrs.
He said, "I can finally let go of my heart."
Mrs.
Shen advised, "Mom, just be at ease.
My cousin will be fine this time.
In one or two years after the Chinese New Year, she will have a few children and her life will be better."
The third girl also said, "In our hometown, all the relatives from my mother's side are here, and no one can make my little aunt suffer."
He Zijin smiled, "With Uncle Chen here, why should grandma be worried?"
Uncle Chen is smart and snobbish, but one thing is that he is not a person who will suffer losses.
Everyone talked about the good life of the little Chen family in the future, and Mrs.
He became happy.
She only expressed great envy for He Zijin's five hundred taels of silver, and pretended not to care and said to Aunt Yu, "Three little girls."
The piece of food you gave me is really good.
The fruit Awen bought for me is also delicious.
This is the Chinese New Year.
I just want my children and grandchildren to be filial."
He Zijin asked knowingly, "Grandma said at the beginning that I gave you the pendant as a gift that year."
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
"Yes, yes."
Mrs.
He said without knowing it.
As soon as she saw He Zijin, she started talking about the New Year's gift given to her by the third girl Hu Wen and his wife.
After repeating it for 1,800 times, He Zijin finally couldn't stand it any more. , I also bought two pieces of ingredients and two boxes of snacks for Mrs.
He as a New Year gift, and then gave her mother a gift with the same configuration.
Mrs.
Shen smiled, "Just buy it for your grandmother."
"Everything is available."
Madam He also quietly said to Mrs.
Shen, "Our girl is very lucky."
With five hundred taels of silver, you can buy fifty acres of land in the imperial capital.
The new year passed in a lively manner, and the following year saw the National Xiao Festival, the girl from the Mei family who had been engaged for a long time finally got married, and then, another girl from the Mei family got engaged.
Brother Xiao Rui was extremely anxious.
The person getting engaged was none other than the person he loved.
