Zhu Yuanzhang once ordered the inspection of the world to be inspected, saying: "I set up inspections in Guanjin, to investigate traitors and falsehoods, and to be happy with the scholars and the people, and there is no difficulty in business and traveling." It is not difficult to see from this that the key points of Guanjin are the main locations for setting up inspection departments. Later, mines, merchants and merchants are mingled, ethnic areas, prefectures and counties are intersecting, far away from the capital, and places where refugees gather.

The main task of the inspection department is to inspect passers-by, and at the same time, it is responsible for inspecting people who have no way out, arresting spies, intercepting escaped soldiers and prisoners, cracking down on smuggling, and maintaining normal business trips and other responsibilities.

However, the soldiers in the inspection department are not regular soldiers, but like the local tyrants, it is okay to catch a few private salt dealers, and deal with organized and weapons traitors, and they all hide behind them and no one will move forward bravely.

Hui Niang came back from Xinpu very early in the afternoon. Even Xiu'er, who was going to stay to see the shop, brought her back. The family started cleaning the house and preparing to welcome the Spring Festival two days later.

In the local area, there were many celebrations for the Spring Festival, and it was very lively from the beginning of the year to the fifteenth day of the Spring Festival, especially the Lantern Festival, which can be said to be the most lively time of the year in the city.

But just after the plague, riots started to storm outside the city, so this Spring Festival was extremely depressed, and most of the shops along the street did not hang festive red lanterns like in previous years.

On New Year's Eve, Zhou originally hoped that Shen Mingjun would come back early to celebrate New Year's Eve, but when dusk was approaching, Shen Mingjun asked someone to bring him back, saying that there was something wrong with the master's family and he could not even go back to the Spring Festival. Zhou's original high interest immediately fell to freezing point.

Shen Xi and Hui Niang both expressed their words to comfort her.

Zhou was cursing, but in fact he was worried about Shen Mingjun. At the same time, he felt something was wrong. He had followed Wang Changnie to Huguang Wuchang Prefecture to visit the prisoner Wang family, who was not going home. Now he doesn't even come back during the Spring Festival. He has only a few steps, so he can't argue.

No matter how much he scolded, no matter how much he complained, but in the end, Zhou still accepted it. In fact, Shen Mingjun did not come back, which was a good thing for the two families. After all, Hui Niang hoped to spend the New Year with the Shen family, but Hui Niang was a widow after all, and if Shen Mingjun came back, there would be any inconvenience.

In this way, the two families set up to prepare the New Year’s Eve dinner.

It was dark, and Hui Niang asked Xiu'er, who could climb high, to hang the lantern at the door.

This Spring Festival is not a little lively. After the sky darkens, there are no firecrackers in and outside the city. But no matter how bleak the days are, when I bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, Hui Niang decided to set off some firecrackers for auspicious and festive celebrations and give me a hope for the coming year.

The New Year’s Eve dinner is not much different from that on weekdays. The south mainly focuses on rice. In the New Year, it does not cook dumplings, but steam rice cakes, wrap rice dumplings and pinch rice balls.

Huiniang's pharmacy has been well run this year. Although she bought a big shop at the end of the year and bought three maids back, she still had some balance on hand.

The New Year’s Eve dinner was very sumptuous that day. Huiniang and Zhou cooked in person, and cooked vegetables and cooked rice at the same time in the two yards. Except for the younger ones, the family went to help.

Lin Dai and Lu Xier, two little guys, brought a small stool to sit down in the back hall of the medicine shop, surrounded Shen Xi and listened to him telling the story of Dream of the Red Chamber.

For Lu Xier, who is less than six years old, the story is a bit profound and can only be heard roughly, and then he followed it and made fun of it. Lin Dai was completely a little resentful woman, who put herself into the heroine of the story, as if the illusory life was what she would face in the future.

"Mrs. Wang held Baoyu, but saw that he was white and weak. He was wearing a small green gauze underneath, all of which were stained with blood. He couldn't help but take off his sweat towel. From his buttocks to his shin, it was blue or purple, or even broken, but there was no benefit. He burst into tears without realizing it."

Lin Dai blinked and blurted out: "I deserve it, who made him naughty and not study hard?"

Chen Xi couldn't help but cough. The loli's reaction was indeed very unusual. Shouldn't the focus be on the reactions of Baochai and Daiyu?

Oh, or Lin Dai has already regarded herself as Daiyu and expressed her feelings.

"It's time to eat, go wash your hands quickly. If you don't have a quick meal, you won't have your share." At this moment, Zhou came over to arrange the first reunion dinner for the two families gathered in Yitang officially began.
