After finally celebrating the New Year's Eve, everyone went back to sleep. Zhao Huanyu had been busy all day and was a little sleepy. She lay down and fell asleep in a daze, and then heard a rustling sound.
She knew who it was without having to guess, so she didn't intend to talk to him, but continued to sleep with her.
Ji Mingxuan sat down beside her bed. He had no intention of accompanying her. He just took out a red envelope from his arms and placed it next to her pillow.
Zhao Huanyu waited for a long time to see him lying down, forced herself to open her eyes and looked at him, and asked: "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing. I came here to give you lucky money. I saw you were sleeping and wanted to sit with you for a while."
Ji Mingxuan stretched out his hand to rub her head and said softly: "Go to sleep, I won't disturb you."
When Zhao Huanyu heard that there was new year's money, she immediately felt no longer sleepy. She took the red envelope next to her pillow and opened it to see that it was a stack of thick banknotes.
"Why give so much? Isn't it the money earned by Li Qingshan again?"
"No, it's mine. The rest will be put in the betrothal gift and sent to you in a few days."
"This is too much!"
Zhao Huanyu looked at the thick stack of silver notes, which must have been tens of thousands of taels, and couldn't recover for a long time.
No matter now or in the future, girls are pursuing high betrothal gifts. On the one hand, they want to verify the man's friendship for them, and on the other hand, they want to gain extra face in their natal family.
Hearing what he said, Zhao Huanyu's first reaction was actually quite happy, but after she was happy, she was full of worries.
He has a high position, so it's not surprising that he has so much money, but he gave it all to her, so what will he do if he needs the money in the future?
"Don't think so much, just take what's given to you."
Ji Mingxuan rubbed her head and stood up to go out: "Go to sleep well. By tomorrow, you will be a fourteen-year-old girl."
Zhao Huanyu actually wanted to say that it was already tomorrow, but she didn't say it because she was too sleepy. She planned to sleep until she woke up naturally tomorrow morning to make up for the sleep she had lost in the past few days.
After Ji Mingxuan went out, he did not return to his house. Fu Yuan grabbed old man Ding and stood in the snow in the yard waiting for him, looking anxious.
"Master, let's leave quickly."
They received a temporary message saying that something happened at the mine and he had to go and take a look.
He originally wanted to tell Zhao Huanyu before leaving, but he was worried that she would want to go with him. He was going to deal with a more difficult matter this time, and it was not convenient for him to take her with him, so he might as well let her spend the New Year at home.
Ji Mingxuan did not use the carriage in the yard, but quickly followed Fu Yuan out of the yard. Their people were already waiting with their horses at the entrance of the village.
Seeing the three of them coming out, his men saluted and said: "Master, there was an avalanche over there in the mine, and many people died. Moreover, our people heard an explosion before the avalanche, so we suspect that the snow mountain did not collapse naturally!"
Old Man Ding was a little angry and cursed: "They are all such bad things. This happened during the Chinese New Year!"
He had crawled under the covers and slept soundly, but to be found out so suddenly, and to go to the next county town to deal with such a difficult matter, it made him feel terrible just thinking about it.
"Okay, let's go take a look first and try to get there early and come back early."
Ji Mingxuan said and got on his horse. The horse was in pain and immediately galloped out. Fu Yuan also followed with Old Man Ding. The visibility was very low at night, and the cold wind blew on his face. It was not an ordinary pain. Old Man Ding screamed.
After shouting twice, he hid behind Fu Yuan and didn't dare to make a sound. It was too cold.
Zhao Huanyu woke up early in the morning and found that they were gone. Fortunately, they didn't leave without saying goodbye, because after dawn, she saw a note left on her bedside. It was written by Ji Mingxuan to her, saying that she had something to deal with temporarily. She only saw it last night
Big red envelope, I didn't notice this little note at all.
Although he was away on the first day of the new year, Zhao Huanyu was not very disappointed because Ji Mingxuan had been with her for several more days this time, and she felt that she had earned it.
There is nothing important on the first day of the lunar new year. It usually involves visiting relatives and visiting close friends. The Zhao family has few relatives, and my uncle and his family are spending time with them this year, so there is no need to visit much.
Even so, Zhao Huanyu still prepared some gifts with a sense of ceremony and visited Aunt Zhang's house, Wan Zhu's house, Wang Dashan's house, and of course the village chief's house.
She was a little hesitant at first about the village chief's house. After all, when the village chief brought those people to her house that night and said those words, she was really angry. But after thinking about it, the village chief had been quite helpful to her family before, and
The village chief had been persuading the villagers on that matter, and had also blocked the storm for her, so she finally reconciled with herself.
She knew that the village chief had his own reasons, and it didn't lead to a big mistake. If her family wanted to live in this village, she really couldn't have a quarrel with the village chief, so she prepared the same gift and went to the village chief's house.
Not to mention how happy the village chief's family was about her arrival. Since that incident, Zhao Huanyu has not been to his house for a long time, and the village chief also felt that as the village chief, if he took the initiative to show kindness to Zhao Huanyu
, will definitely be gossiped about, and more importantly, the majesty of his village chief will no longer exist, and he will most likely lose that position.
So the two sides remained in a stalemate until Zhao Huanyu came to visit today.
The village chief's wife smiled happily and happily invited Zhao Huanyu into the house. Before Zhao Huanyu could speak, the village chief's wife spoke first.
"Xiaoyu, my family made you feel wronged about that incident before."
The village chief's wife sighed, and then continued: "Your village chief grandpa and I have always been on your side, but those who came to your village chief grandpa that night were all elders of the clan. Your village chief grandpa
If you refuse openly, it will definitely have a bad impact, so I have no choice but to take them to your house to make a fuss."
"But he regretted it soon after he came back. He kept telling me that he wanted to find a chance to apologize to you, but he encountered so many things, so today you came to the door, and I took the opportunity to apologize to you. That matter has already happened
It’s over, please don’t take it to heart.”
Everyone loves face, and the village chief's wife is no exception. Moreover, she has been the village chief's wife for so many years, and she has always been the only one to please others. It is indeed difficult for her to apologize to anyone.
But Zhao Huanyu did it.
However, Zhao Huanyu did not come here today to ask for an apology from them, so she hurriedly said: "Grandma, village chief, you don't need to say this. I am fourteen years old this year, and I know many things. I understand the helplessness of the village chief grandpa, and
I understand the guilt of the village chief grandma, because in the end the village chief grandpa helped me get out of this big trouble, so I didn’t care about that incident for a long time, and naturally I won’t destroy the relationship between us because of that incident.
