It was very cold on New Year's Eve, so Xin Yi did not go home and helped Gong prepare for Liu's funeral.

The two of them stayed up until their eyes were red. They worked all night and talked all night.

In this family, the only one Xinyi recognized was the Gong family.

When she first came here, this sister-in-law gave her the only warmth she had.

At the moment, Zhang Erlang was indifferent, Silang couldn't get up after being beaten, and Zhang Zhengxiang was drunk all night. When he heard that Mrs. Liu had passed away at night, he waved his hands and turned over and continued to sleep. When he got up early in the morning, he pretended to shed a few tears.

Zhang Zhengxiang has been under the control of the Liu family all his life. Xin Yi suspects that he must be feeling more happy than sad at this moment. He suddenly felt proud and proud and stood up to make the decision.

Zhang Dalang and Gong were busy inside and outside.

Even if the family is separated, Xin Yi can't just sit back and do nothing. She has to look at the Buddha's face even if she doesn't look at the monk's face. People in the Song Dynasty put filial piety first. For the future of the three little ones, she can't just sit back and make people gossip.

Uncle Zhang's family also came to help, and the funeral shed was quickly erected. When Zhang Xun was organizing the funeral, the Gong family had some experience, and it took almost no trouble to do it again this time.

This was the first time I heard about the customs and etiquette, so I was very clumsy when trying to help her.

At dawn, Xin Yi couldn't hold on any longer and was about to go back to catch up on his sleep. Unexpectedly, someone came from the palace.

It was said that a nobleman had a rash on his face. He heard that Madam Zhang had a wonderful medicine and came to take her to the palace to see a doctor.

Xin Yi guessed it was Concubine Zhang.

She came to see someone on the first day of the Lunar New Year, which showed how anxious she was.

Fu Jiuqu said, let her keep an eye on it.

Therefore, she must treat Concubine Zhang's face, but she can't just treat it. She has to give her some relief. However, Xin Yi's purpose of doing this is not to cooperate with Fu Jiuqu, but because she wants to

Kill that He Xu.

It's best not to give that bitch a chance to turn over.

If it weren't for Mrs. Liu's death, it would have been difficult for Xin Yi to find a reason to reject Concubine Zhang, but now it's easier to talk to her.

Her mother-in-law was mourned, so she had no way to enter the palace, so she had to decline. No one could fault her for such a reasonable thing.

The chamberlain who came to deliver the message saw that the Zhang family had built a mourning shed, with white streamers hung high on the lintel, and the whole family was crying, and left dejectedly...

They were afraid of being scolded by Concubine Zhang when they went back.

I also felt that the Chinese New Year was unlucky, so I cursed all the way.

The people in Zhangjiacun also felt unlucky.

In just a few months, two members of the Zhang family have died. The rest are in jail, drunk, drunk, noisy, gambling, drunk... What are the words?

The villagers avoided their family like the plague.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, no one came to burn incense and pay homage to Mrs. Liu except for her close relatives. It was not until the second day of the Lunar New Year that villagers came one after another to send money and make a sad appearance.

People take tea to cool down.

After three days of rest, Mrs. Liu was buried.

Her funeral was a simple one, because even her favorite son, Zhang Silang, didn't want to bother her. She just wanted her mother to "be buried in peace as soon as possible." What could others say?

Xin Yi helped Mr. Gong for three days, but she didn't expect that there would be a follow-up to the matter - some people said that she refused to help Mr. Liu until she died, and refused to lend a helping hand even though Mr. Liu fell ill and died.

Rumors spread, and Xiang Ling and her husband were aggrieved. Uncle Zhang's family and Mrs. Cao also spoke for her, saying that she was not in Zhangjiacun at that time, but Xin Yi himself was unwilling to pay attention to it.

Moreover, there is no time to worry about it.

On the morning of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Xin Yi had just woken up from the hustle and bustle when a carriage stopped outside the small courtyard.

She originally thought that it was someone from the palace who took her to consult Concubine Zhang, but to her surprise, it was Sun Yuzhi who came.

The breeze is bright and the moon is bright, and the face is full of smiles.

Sun Yuzhi looked as happy as a boy giving away money. He stepped forward and gave Xin Yi a deep bow.

"Ms. Zhang is auspicious in the Year of the Dragon, so I wish you a happy New Year."

Xin Yi chuckled softly, "My young master came all the way to pay me New Year greetings. Isn't it because they want to give me New Year's money?"

Sun Yuzhi smiled sheepishly, "It's really lucky money, but it's just a gift from me."

As he spoke, he took out a sandalwood box from the carriage. It was dark brown and looked very valuable.

Sun Yuzhi brought the box to Xin Yi and presented it with great importance.

"The Sun Family Pharmacy will be in the hands of Mrs. Zhang from now on."

Xin Yi's eyelids twitched and he looked at the sandalwood box, "This is it?"

Sun Yuzhi smiled and said, "Ms. Zhang, open it and take a look?"

Xin Yi looked at the smile on Sun Yuzhi's face and took it carefully. He welcomed the person into the room first and asked Xiang Ling to pour a cup of fruit tea in. Then he sat down and watched.

There was a delicate lock on the sandalwood box, and when you opened it there was a layer of velvet. On top of it was the transfer deed of Sun's Pharmacy, along with a three-year lease of the house.

Xin Yi looked up apologetically, "But I haven't saved enough three thousand strings yet..."

Sun Yuzhi smiled, "Ms. Zhang, look here, the contract is in your name. Someone has paid the money for you."

Xin Yi: "Who?"

Sun Yuzhi looked at Xin Yi apologetically and shook his head, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Zhang, I have promised the visitor to keep it secret. The scholar asked for credit, so I have to be rude."

Xin Yi narrowed his eyes suspiciously.

"If my young master doesn't tell me, how can I dare to ask for it?"

She pushed the sandalwood box back and smiled slightly.

"You will not be rewarded for your merits. Please take your things back from your young master's house. Tell that kindhearted person for me. I can't bear this great favor."

Sun Yuzhi was very embarrassed when he saw her persistence.

"I know what the little lady is worried about. If you believe me, just accept it with peace of mind. He is definitely not a bad person, and he will not have any agenda."

Xin Yi smiled and continued to push forward.

"Take it back to your young master's house. I won't want anything from an unknown source."

Sun Yu sighed, smiled and shook his head.

"It seems he got it right."

Xin Yi: "What are you talking about?"

Sun Yuzhi pushed the box over and said with a smile: "That person guessed that the young lady would not accept favors from others for no reason, so I specifically asked me to tell you that this is not a favor to the young lady, but a reward."

"Repay?" Xin Yi narrowed his eyes and looked at Sun Yuzhi.

Sun Yuzhi nodded heavily.

"The man said that his master was deeply favored by his wife and had nothing to repay, and it was inconvenient to disclose his identity and cause trouble, so he could only use this method to repay his wife in case something happened. He also said that it would be treated as additional medical fees.

, I hope my wife will accept it."

Consultation fee?

Those are the people she has treated.

Xin Yi thought about it for a while. She seemed to have only told Cao Yi that she wanted to rent Sun's pharmacy. In addition, Fu Jiuqu might also know about it.

Apart from the two of them, there should be no one else who doesn't take Sanqian Guan seriously.

But who is it that it is inconvenient for her identity to be disclosed, but who thinks she has been favored by her?

Could it be that the saint in the palace? He learned from Cao Yi that she wanted the Sun Family Pharmacy, so he casually gave it to her? Three thousand strings are indeed just drizzle to the saint who has a mother-in-law in the world.

Xin Yi was unsure.

"The Young Master is entrusted by others, so I don't feel comfortable speaking out. I understand. Then let's change the method. You only need to nod or shake your head, and I will guess, and you will respond. How about?"

Sun Yuzhi smiled bitterly, "Mrs. Zhang, please don't embarrass me anymore. To be honest, what I got was not three thousand guan, but four thousand guan, and there was also a thousand guan hush money."

He said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "If Mrs. Zhang doesn't accept it, I will lose the thousand guan in vain. I'll accept it with all smiles!"

The box was pushed back by Sun Yuzhi again.

Xin Yi thought about it and nodded.

"Then lend me the money to thank that noble man. Although the money may be a small amount to him, I can't accept the gift in vain... That's fine, just treat it as a loan, and I'll bother the young master to bring a message for me.

He said that when I make money, I will pay him back with interest."

Sun Yuzi thought for a while and nodded.

"I will definitely bring you the exact words, Mrs. Zhang, please relax."

After the matter was settled, Sun Yuzhi chatted with Xin Yi for a while about going to his husband's house to study, drank a few sips of fruit tea, and stood up to leave.

Xin Yi held the box and sent it out, saying nothing more except wishing him success in the Toad Palace in the coming spring.

With the lease in hand, as soon as Sun Yu left, she was ready to follow him to see the condition of the shop, and also to see which financier had rented the shop to her.

The three children love to be active, and all of them want to get out of the way.

Xin Yi had no choice but to lead a donkey and take them out. He also took Xiang Ling and his beloved husband with him, and went out to the market to join in the excitement of the New Year. He also went to inspect the shop and clean the house.

There was still sunlight peeking out of the sky in the morning, but at noon, the old man seemed to be afraid of the cold weather and got into bed again.

Sun Yuzhi had long since disappeared on the road.

Xin Yi was helpless and simply slowed down.

Ever since the three little ones followed Xin Yi, except for the first Nian who liked peace and quiet, the second Nian and the third Nian had become wild. They were very happy along the way. They were curious about everything they saw and kept asking questions. It happened that Xin Yi was also half a bucket of water.

, knowing little about everything, causing a lot of jokes.

Xin Yi went to the eldest princess mansion first.

The door was closed, and Xin Yi came forward to inquire. The concierge said that the prince was not at the house, and the eldest princess had to worship her ancestors and gods at the beginning of the year. She would not see any outsiders, so she just had to leave the message she had brought.

Xin Yi didn't bring the post, so she had to leave with her children.
