Chapter 480 Unexpected Visitor

Shen Qing led a large group of people to set up the manor.

The great thing about buying a house yourself is that you can decorate it however you want without having to worry about the landlord taking it back after you’ve finished decorating it.

Full sense of security.

After buying the house, Zhuangzi repaired the floor tiles, renovated the tiles, and repainted the interior and exterior walls. After the business got on track and made money, he bought a lot of new furniture. Now, within a few months, a simple cleaning makes it look like a new house.

Now it is mainly used for decoration.

Jiang Yu, Jiang Shui, and Guan Li were cutting paper-cuts in front of the clinical table with Xiao Hua and Xiao Duo.

Jiang Xiangzhong was writing couplets, not only for his own farm gate, stove, livestock shed, etc., but also for his four branches. The red paper piled up high, and Guan Xiaoshan was helping him.

In the kitchen, Liu Cuihua was preparing lunch, Boss Lei was lighting the fire, and Jiang Xiangnan was giving instructions. Sometimes he said that the salt was added too early, because her mother always added it right before taking the pot off the stove. Sometimes he said that the sugar color was over-fried, a little burnt, and would taste bitter... Shen Qing wanted to kick him away after hearing this, but Cuihua had a good temper. Not only did she not find Xiangnan annoying, she also thought that Jiang Xiangnan was right and kept asking him for more instructions.

Jiang Xiangdong and Jiang Xiangxi were feeding the livestock. The north wind had been blowing all night, and today, the cold had made them hunch over. They looked at the gloomy sky and worried about heavy snow in the next two days. Fortunately, they had a lot of delivery orders, so they didn't have to worry too much about the livestock.

Jiang Xiangbei and Guan the Carpenter were still in their shop in the city. Both of them were people who could not sit still, so they wanted to take advantage of their stay in the capital to repair all the repairs that needed to be done in the shop.

Shen Qing glanced at the dark sky and asked Jiang Xiangdong who had just entered the room, "Do you want to go pick up Ah Bing? It looks like it's going to snow heavily today.

If the snow gets heavy, you two can just stay at Huo's house and don't have to rush back."

After Dongyue's wedding, a group of young men were selected from the village to come to the Huo family to learn martial arts. Huo Bing was indeed busy as a teacher, but he went back to the village with Lei Laoer and others near the end of the year. He would not come back until after the Lantern Festival.

Huo Bing has been practicing with the elders of the Huo family these days and can adjust his schedule by himself, so he can go and pick it up.

Jiang Xiangdong smiled innocently and said, "Don't worry, mother. When my fourth brother left this morning, he said that if it snowed, he would stop by the Huo family to pick up Ah Bing. My fourth brother and his family drove out in a carriage."

Given Ah Bing's current skills, his mother naturally wasn't worried about his safety, but she felt sorry for Ah Bing riding a horse, as his hands were sore from the cold from the wind, frost, rain and snow.

Ah Bing smiled and said it was okay, saying that if they went to Blackwater City, the wind and snow there would be like sharp blades. Mother said we can talk about it when we get there! For now, the less suffering we can endure, the better.

Ah Bing was so moved that everyone in the Huo family, from General Huo to his uncle and aunt, sighed in admiration and also made him feel ashamed.

Mother is more thoughtful than him as a husband. No wonder mother comes before him in Ah Bing's mind.

But it just proves the status of him, the eldest son, in his mother's heart. For the sake of his family harmony, his mother would try so hard to be extremely attentive to his wife and daughter!

When Shen Qing heard that the fourth brother and Huo Bing were together, they were no longer worried.

She ordered, "Big Brother, you two should bring more firewood to the kitchen, and make sure the kangs in each room are warmer. It's been cold these past two days, and we can't let them get cold."

"Oh, okay!"

Just as the two of them responded, there was a knock on the door.

Jiang Xiangdong asked doubtfully, "Who would come at this time on this day?"

They haven’t had lunch yet, so Lao Si and A Bing shouldn’t be back so early.

The Chinese New Year is just three days away, and every household is preparing New Year's goods. Sumu and others in the village will not come over - if they go back, they will miss the New Year reunion.

"Could it be that the shop assistants came to see mother about something?"

Shen Qing also thought this was possible, so she lifted her skirt and walked towards the hanging flower gate. "Let's go over and take a look. If it's a waiter, it must be something big."

The fourth brother has been in various shops these days. The things he can't handle are either urgent or important.

Jiang Xiangdong and Jiang Xiangxi became nervous. They strode forward, quickly moved the heavy wood that was blocking the door, removed the bolt, opened the thick wooden door, and were stunned to see the person in front of them.

The two turned around in confusion and asked, "Mom?"

Who was that person outside the door? They had never seen him before! He wasn't wearing the clothes of a waiter or a shopkeeper, but he looked very rich and luxurious. His aura made people want to bow down involuntarily.

It's strange that Jiang Xiangdong only has this feeling when facing General Huo, but everyone says it's because General Huo is too murderous on the battlefield.

The old man in front of me looks very noble and doesn't look like someone who would wield a knife and shout for war and killing. How could he have such murderous aura?

Shen Qing saw that the two people looked unhappy, and knowing that they were not waiters, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "No matter who it is, it's so cold, let someone come in for tea."

Jiang Xiangdong and Jiang Xiangxi reacted quickly, bent down and called out respectfully, "Sir, please come in!"

Shen Qing finally walked forward and was stunned to see the person who walked in!

This, is this the emperor?

Her eyes widened, and when she saw Jiang Fu and Yan Yu behind her, she was finally sure!

Just as she was about to kneel down to pay her respects, Jiang Fu came forward with a smile to support her, and said hintingly: "Hey, Madam Shen, are you alright? Our master missed the taste of hot pot so much, and happened to have nothing to do, so he went to the shop and saw that they were on holiday.

We're all friends now, so it's okay to come over and take a look, right?"

In fact, the palace was deserted and the palace people were extremely nervous about the New Year banquets and sacrifices. The emperor didn't like this atmosphere very much, so he wanted to go out and relax.

Shen Qing understood and said cheerfully, "What's the rudeness? Please come in!"

Then he told the eldest and second brother, "Hurry up and prepare the beef and mutton for the hot pot at noon."

Although Jiang Xiangdong and Jiang Xiangxi were confused about the identity of the visitor, they had already learned from following their mother that they should not ask questions that they should not ask, and should do more and talk less!

He immediately responded neatly: "Oh, okay!"

Ling Xuan looked at the two people who obediently left to work and sighed, "Your son is really obedient."

If his son were so obedient, he would have less worries.

Shen Qing understood and said, "Just being obedient isn't an advantage. It really depends on what you listen to and how you act."

Ling Xuan was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Yes, you are right!"

Don’t look at what is said, just look at what is done and whether it is right or wrong.

Jiang Fu's anxious heart finally relaxed. It seemed that he had come to the right place!

Yan Yu waved his hand, asking the many secret guards who followed him to disperse and guard, and the others followed him in.

Ling Xuan walked and watched along the way.

The yard is not big, and the walls of the house are clean and fresh;

The windows were decorated with festive red window grilles, red lanterns were hung under the eaves, and colorful ribbons were tied to the trees in the yard. It was very festive.

The storehouse, woodshed, and hay barn were all piled high, and he felt at ease just looking at them;

There was a burst of fragrance coming from the kitchen. He couldn't help but sniff and asked, "What is this for?"
