On the sixth day of the first lunar month, many shops open.

When vehicles are driving on the national highway, from time to time you can see firecrackers being lit at the entrance of a restaurant or small shop on the side of the road, and the crackling sound makes the ground red.

Guxiangxuan will also open today. In fact, Guxiangxuan is not closed at all. During these New Year holidays, Chang Da, his wife and Yao Chushun lived in Guxiangxuan. They never went anywhere. People like them.

I no longer regard the Chinese New Year as any special festival, and I even reject this kind of festival from my heart.

Xu Zhengyang and Chen Chaojiang arrived at Guxiangxuan before eight o'clock in the morning. Wasn't it just a picture of the atmosphere of the New Year's opening? Jin Changfa led Wang Jiayu here yesterday, but his nephew Jin Qiming had something to do at home.

Didn't come.

Festive couplets with gold characters on a red background are posted on both sides of the gate of Guxiangxuan. The characters for Dafu and Spring, as well as patterns for attracting wealth, are posted on each window. It is full of joy. Most of the shops in the antique market have not yet opened. It is estimated that there will be

The official opening will not be open until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Yao Chushun really is not in the mood to wait until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, so he chose to open today when most shops in the antique market are not open!

Crackling, crackling, crackling, crackling,

The crisp sound of firecrackers mixed with the sound of two kicks made the antique market, which had been quiet for several days, finally regain some lively atmosphere.

After Xu Zhengyang and Chen Chaojiang finished lighting a few firecrackers and hanging firecrackers, they retreated to the steps of the gate, smiling and looking at the exploding firecrackers on the ground, the steaming smoke, and the broken red all over the ground. "Wang Jiayu was still excited.

Keep going around in circles and lighting the two kickers.

"On the fifteenth day, buy thousands of dollars worth of fireworks and set them off properly." Yao Chushun said loudly to Xu Zhengyang.

"Yeah." Xu Zhengyang nodded.

Guxiangxuan's business is booming now, and it's at its peak. Yao Chushun even considered opening two branches in the provincial capital or the capital. But after thinking about it, it still wasn't right. In the antique industry, the emphasis is on one and only.

Especially, what’s more, Yao Chushun, who had been hit hard before, really didn’t feel comfortable leaving the store to someone else.

Xu Zhengyang still has an indifferent attitude towards this. Anyway, he is not good at it. Master Gu can do whatever he wants.

.

While the firecrackers were still ringing loudly, Xu Zhengyang, Chen Chaojiang, Gu Ye Yao Chushun, Jin Changfa, Chang Da and others all returned to the store. Outside, Wang Jiayu was still setting off the firecrackers with great interest.

With.

Yao Chushun said: "We are all here at noon today to have a good meal. We have never had a meal together during the Chinese New Year. It doesn't make sense.

Changda's wife said: "Don't go to the restaurant. I bought a lot of things during the Chinese New Year. We can just make them ourselves."

"Zhengyang, just eat here at noon today, don't go back." Yao Chushun looked at Xu Zhengyang and said.

"Okay, no problem." Xu Zhengyang nodded and agreed.

Chen Chaojiang looked at Xu Zhengyang and didn't say anything. He knew that today Xu Zhengyang was going to the courtyard in the western suburbs to pay New Year's greetings. This party agreed. What if they want to keep you for lunch?

"Ms. Chang, you Chinese New Year people don't even have melon seed candies?" Xu Zhengyang said with a smile.

"Hey, I forgot, I forgot, I'm just here to be happy." Aunt Chang slapped her thigh and ran inside with a smile.

Soon, Aunt Chang brought melon seed candies, placed them on the round table, and made tea.

Eating melon seeds, Xu Zhengyang said casually: "Master Gu, I will go to pay New Year's greetings to Mr. Li later. Let's see what gift I can give him.

"Huh?" Yao Chushun was startled for a moment, then frowned and began to think about giving Mr. Li a gift. This cannot be done carelessly.

But Xu Zhengyang looked relaxed and not in a hurry. He drank tea and squinted his eyes to think about something. Later he went to the courtyard and saw Li Bingjie's family, especially Jiang Lan, how embarrassed he must be.

What does it look like? Haha. Xu Zhengyang has already thought about it. He should go early today, come back early, and never stay there for lunch. That would be asking for trouble for himself, and he cannot do it.

I don't think they would be so enthusiastic as to keep the guests for dinner.

Damn it, if you really marry Li Bingjie, you will have such a mother-in-law in the future, so the pressure of being an "old father-in-law" will be so great? Xu Zhengyang curled his lips. It's wrong to not be from the right family.

"Zhengyang, just bring some ordinary gifts or fruits." Yao Chushun thought for a long time and finally gave his opinion.

Xu Zhengyang almost spit out his tea. He coughed and said, "Are you kidding me? Carrying two kilograms to the door? To the door of Li's hometown?"

"Bringing anything else seems out of touch." Yao Chushun's triangle eyes flashed, "Last time I gave you Song Dynasty's Duan Inkstone, and giving me anything else this time seems superfluous and polite. Since you kid wants to eat it.

Swan meat, just relax." When he said this, Yao Chushun felt that he was really becoming more and more courageous. If someone with a heart heard this, would he be shot?

Xu Zhengyang thought about it for a while and said with a smile: "It makes sense. If our store has any better brushes, let Mr. Li take one over and make it a pair with the inkstone from last time."

"That thing doesn't exist." Yao Chushun said.

"Oh, okay, I'll go quickly. I'll leave early and come back early." Xu Zhengyang stood up and said hello to others while walking out. Yao Chushun followed closely and whispered: "Zhengyang. If anyone stays,

If you want to have lunch, don't politely refuse, stay shamelessly, and chatter more with their family.

"Master Gu, how old are you?" Xu Zhengyang turned around and said with a smile.

"You bastard, you can love whoever you want! It's better to kill you outside." Yao Chushun, the old man, glared and cursed. How could he not know what Xu Zhengyang asked as he has become a mature man?

Later, I should say that it is disrespectful for me to worry about these things.

Chen Chaojiang drove, Xu Zhengyang sat in the back, and went to Shenghua Supermarket to buy some packaged high-quality fruits. Xu Zhengyang also spent more than 300 on a writing brush.

Well, actually, I spent over 300 to buy this brush because I was interested in the packaging, not the brush.

Halfway through, Xu Zhengyang took out the writing brush and threw it behind him. Then he waved a judge's pen. After thinking carefully for a while, he used his mind to slightly change the appearance of the judge's pen so that it could be seen.

It started to smell more and more rustic, so I put it in the box and closed it.

Only a person like Xu Zhengyang would give a magic weapon like the Judge's Pen as a gift?

Xu Zhengyang stuffed the box containing a judge pen into his arms, smiled calmly, and thought to himself, old man, this thing is a magic weapon. You have taken advantage of your granddaughter, and you may even let him go in the future.

You can use it,,.

In the western suburbs of Zehebi, there is a set of courtyard houses leaning against Xiaowang Mountain and the Qinghe River. The gates of the courtyard and the doors of each room in the courtyard are pasted with festive red couplets. There are black calligraphy on them. The words on these couplets

, but they are all written by Mr. Li himself. This has also been a habit of his for many years. He likes to write calligraphy on weekdays, but during the Spring Festival, he reads as much as he can at home, reads books, and sunscreens.

No one had any doubts about this. It was natural to do what Mr. Li wanted to do.

At this time, there were four cars parked on the parking lot on the east side outside the courtyard gate, an Audi, a black Mercedes-Benz with a military license plate, a silver-gray Bentley with a Beijing license plate, and a military green camouflage car.

Jeep.

After remembering what happened last time, Chen Chaojiang drove directly to the large parking lot next to it.

Chen Chaojiang placed the four daggers he always carried with him on the passenger seat, then coldly opened the door and got out of the car.

Xu Zhengyang held the slender box with the brushes in his left hand, opened the door and got out of the car, took out the high-quality fruits he bought in his right hand, and walked towards the two men in black who had just walked out of the courtyard with a smile. Chen Chaojiang closed the door behind him.

, and then followed him coldly.

After still a routine inspection, the two men asked them to wait, and then one of them went back to report.

Xu Zhengyang thought to himself: Didn't Li Bingjie tell Mr. Li that I was coming on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year?

After a while, Li Chengzhong walked out quickly with a smile on his face and said: "Please come in quickly, I didn't expect you to come so early."

As Li Chengzhong walked into the courtyard, just like the last time he came, when he reached the middle of the courtyard, Li Chengzhong took Chen Chaojiang to a room on the west side, while Xu Zhengyang walked to the main room alone.

Just as he stepped up the steps, the door curtain opened. Li Binghe, tall and straight in military uniform, walked out. When he saw Xu Zhengyang, a surprised smile appeared on his face and he said: "Hello, Xu Zhengyang."

"Brother Li, hello. Xu Zhengyang smiled and nodded, neither humble nor overbearing.

Probably because he saw Xu Zhengyang holding something in both hands, Li Binghe didn't reach out. He just helped Xu Zhengyang lift the curtain and said, "Come in, it's cold outside."

"Thank you, Brother Li. Xu Zhengyang smiled naively, bowed his head slightly, and walked into the house without touching the soft cotton curtain.

But Li Binghe did not enter the house. He had gone to the east room to do something.

On the sofa on the right side of the room, Mr. Li was sitting in the middle, holding a baby who looked to be only seven or eight months old with a smile on his face. From time to time, he would tease the baby who looked at him curiously.

Sitting a seat to the left of Mr. Li is Li Bingjie’s father, Li Ruiyu.

"Grandpa, I wish you a happy new year." Xu Zhengyang stepped forward with a smile, bowed slightly to the old man, then turned to face Li Ruiyu, "Uncle, parents."

Li Ruiyu nodded calmly and said nothing.

But the old man smiled and said: "Okay, okay, sit down."

Xu Zhengyang nodded and was not too polite. He put the fruit on one side and opened the curtain. He saw a gentle, beautiful and generous young woman coming out. After looking at Xu Zhengyang with a smile, she reached out and

The old man took the child in his hands and said with a smile: "I'll look at him."

The old man smiled and allowed the young woman to take the child. Then he turned to Xu Zhengyang and said, "Bingjie is talking to her mother in the house.

"Oh." Xu Zhengyang nodded. When he came, Xu Zhengyang had seen who was in the courtyard. So he knew that the young woman just now was actually the daughter-in-law of Aunt Li Bingjie's family, and that the baby belonged to Aunt Li Bingjie.

grandson.

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the whole family came together for a reunion. There were bursts of chatter and laughter in the back room.

"Grandpa, I didn't know what to buy when I came here. There was a good writing brush in the store, but it didn't look like it was going to be old anymore, so I went to the supermarket and bought a writing brush. I brought it to you in this package.

I hope you like it." Xu Zhengyang said and handed over the box containing the brushes.

The old man smiled and nodded. He opened the box and took out the brush to look at it. There was a hint of surprise in his eyes. He looked at it carefully for a long time. He nodded and praised: "Good stuff, that's a great courtesy."

"As long as you like it." Xu Zhengyang smiled naively.

At this moment, the door of the inner room facing the main room opened, and Li Bingjie, wearing an elegant sportswear, walked out softly, with no trace of expression in her ethereal and indifferent eyes. Following her,

It's my mother, Jiang Lan, who is dressed very formally. Not fancy or plain, but with a noble temperament.

Xu Zhengyang stood up, bowed slightly and said, "Hello, Auntie." However, this was not the first time he greeted Jiang Lan with the rural title "Auntie" when he saw her in the capital.
