The New Year's Eve was spent without any danger. Li Hui's family stayed in the military camp until the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year. Seeing that there was really no movement on the other side, they took the car home.
Although the military camp lacks everything, it is not as comfortable as staying at home. However, the children are happy there. There is a big open space, there are many people, and they have a lot of fun.
After changing into comfortable clothes, Cheng Xue lay down on the hot kang indulgently, smelling the fragrant quilt, and suddenly felt less tired.
It has to be your own home, no matter how much you stay there, it’s not enough.
Bai Shao came into the house carrying the frozen pears, put them on the table and said:
"Madam, you must be exhausted these days. After dinner, eat some frozen pears to relieve your tiredness."
Cheng Xue sat up with a "hmm" and saw that she had a new pendant on her ear. She smiled and raised her eyebrows and asked:
"Shunxi gave it to you? Didn't he give you all the monthly money? Where is the money?"
Bai Shao's face was hot, and she lowered her head shyly and replied:
"This slave has seen the New Year. He couldn't live without money, so I left some for him."
Ouch, this dog food was caught off guard!
"Okay, your family has good rules. I'm sure you'll be happy and happy, so you're really obedient."
"Madam~!"
"Okay, okay, I won't tell you, I won't mention it."
Cheng Xue smiled and picked up a soft frozen pear, took a small bite, and then sucked the juice inside.
Sweet and sour, cool and refreshing, it just washes away the greasy feeling of the elbow stew at night.
There is one person in the military camp who can really eat meat. From last night to today, the meat has not been cut off. She was confused after eating, but the others were more energetic. It was really incomparable.
"How did you spend New Year's Eve at home? Did you make dumplings?"
She took Bai Zhi away, leaving the three Tiandong brothers and sisters, Jia Ning and Jia An to look after the house.
"Back to Madam, it's time to make dumplings. The stuffing with garlic sprouts and pork is particularly bright. My eldest brother is going to start teaching Jia Ning and Jia An to practice martial arts in the third grade of junior high school. They must be independent and have the ability to protect themselves."
"Well, it should be."
Cheng Xue nodded, got rid of the frozen pears in his hand, stood up and took out the New Year's red envelope that he had prepared in advance.
"Bai Shao distributed these to everyone, and each person got one red envelope for the new year."
"No Madam, didn't you give me the New Year's money before you leave?" Bai Shao shook his head hurriedly.
After getting along for a long time, you will know that this family treats the servants very well. Food, drinks and clothing are all provided, and they will never skimp on anything. I also had new year red envelopes before, but this year the New Year's money is too much, so I really can't take this.
"Take it, and share the rest with everyone by the way." Cheng Xue handed it to her without any explanation.
Things that can be solved with money are not problems. She has never doubted the loyalty of these people, but if she wants to continue to maintain this loyalty, it is useless to keep people around with words, she must take practical actions.
Bai Shao also understands her temper. She means giving what she says and will not be vain.
"Yes, thank you madam."
"Go down, I don't need to wait here, I will be with you when you get back."
"Yes." Bai Shao saluted and went out.
As soon as Cheng Xue got up and finished rinsing her mouth, Li Hui came back. The cold air all over her body probably meant she was worried, so she went out for a walk.
He helped him take off his cloak and said in a casual manner:
"Qinglin told me that we will run Qingshui Bank together after the new year, and he also said that it would be 40-300-30. Is this the same for Shunxing Garden?"
Li Hui said "hmm", put on loose cotton and silk clothes, and pulled the person into his arms. The hug was a little tight, which was obviously different from his usual tiredness.
"What's wrong? Did you encounter something difficult?"
"Before I came back, Xiao Song came to me and said that the Su family in the capital sent someone to Yujiatun to inquire about you."
ah?!
Cheng Xue was shocked and thought of many reasons in her mind.
They all knew that there was something wrong with this body's life experience. The Su family sent people to Yujiatun to investigate. Could it be that the original body was once from the capital?
You're right when you think about it, that necklace, that bracelet, and that jade pendant, none of them are ordinary things.
"Have you found anything substantial? Then how did you tell Xiao Song?"
"I didn't tell Xiao Song anything else. I just insisted that you were my cousin. As for the Su family, they definitely couldn't find anything. After all, the old man who knew about the matter is no longer there, not to mention that my uncle is still the patriarch of Yujiatun.
"
"That's true." Cheng Xue breathed a long sigh of relief and tightened her arms around his waist in fear.
Regarding their life experience, they adhere to the principle of "let nature take its course" and will not waste time by searching deliberately, but the Su family always feels uncomfortable when they interfere with each other.
After loving each other, Li Hui put one hand behind his head and said:
"Do you want to check your background? If you want, give Qinglin the jade pendant to him when he returns to Beijing and ask him to help."
"Forget it, we didn't expect it in the first place, so don't take advantage of this trivial matter." Cheng Xue refused directly, "Yixin, what are you going to do?"
Li Yue is already a hairdresser. Fortunately, they have been here to thank guests behind closed doors, otherwise this threshold would have been stepped down.
The matter of the two children cannot be delayed any longer, and Yan Yixin also needs to have his own home before getting engaged. There is no need to worry about this. After checking so many houses, he can just buy them directly when he starts construction after the year. The difficulty is to let the children have their own homes.
She felt somewhat unbearable about going out to live alone. Moreover, he had to take part in the Liaodong Provincial Examination this year, otherwise he would have to wait another two years.
Li Hui bowed his head and kissed her forehead, and said softly:
"First buy the house, then find enough servants, and let Shunxi go directly. He has to take the provincial exam this year, and that guy Tiedan also has to take part. It doesn't matter whether he can pass the exam, it's always good to get some practice at the end."
"Okay, after I finish going to Shen Jue's place on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, I will start making arrangements."
The couple were chatting and getting ready to go to bed when Dexi's voice came from outside the door——
"Sir, please come to the military camp to invite the madam and the eldest lady. Beiqi has made some moves."
As soon as he finished speaking, the two people on the kang stood up at the same time, and then dressed and put on shoes as quickly as possible. When Cheng Xue stood up, he fell back on the kang again, his legs numb.
Li Hui wasted no time. He bent down to pick him up and strode to the door. After putting him down, he did not forget to say:
"Be patient, stamp your feet, and the numbness will subside later."
Cheng Xue didn't show any pretense, she stamped her feet, put on her hat and gloves, and went out together.
On the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Beiqi was quite good at exploiting loopholes for a sneak attack. Li Yue was already ready. Li Heng and Yan Yixin got into the carriage together and sent Cheng Xue and her daughter to the garrison camp.
The carriage walked through the quiet city and felt nothing strange. But when the carriage left Fucheng and walked about ten miles north, it heard a lot of noise.
Li Hui hugged Cheng Xue tightly and tried to keep his voice steady as he said:
"Remember, you and your daughter are just bandaging the wounded. You will only stay in the military doctor's tent and don't go anywhere. Even if you want to go out to relieve yourself, you must take Bai Wei and Baizhu with you. You must take both of them, and you can't lose either one."
"Don't worry, I've written it down." Cheng Xue agreed, and she took the initiative to interlock his fingers with her bare hands.
If possible, Li Hui would like to stay in the military camp all the time, but he can't stay, and the city needs to cooperate at any time...
