Wang Yu and his mother also poured a glass and said, "Mom, you can drink some occasionally. Besides being good for your skin, wine can also promote cardiovascular health and improve sleep quality. But don't drink too much. One glass a day is enough."
Wang's mother naturally believed what her son said. Since there were so many benefits, it would be okay to drink it. Wang's father preferred to drink white wine, so Wang Yu poured him white wine.
Wang Yu did not count his income in the past two years in Beijing, but he knew roughly that the profit from red wine was about 20,000 taels, and the profit from the winery's white wine was more than 15,000 taels. Together with the 20,000 taels he had earned before coming to Beijing, the total amount was more than 50,000 taels.
Apart from spending more than 1,500 taels on the house, shop and carriage in the capital, there were no other major expenses. Wang Yu specially bought a box to hold the banknotes and placed it in the space.
Cheng Chen's two shops have made a profit of about 6,000 taels in the past two years. Wang Yu let Cheng Chen keep this money for herself. She is the one who keeps accounts for all the family's income and expenses. However, the income from Wang Yu's salary and official land is enough to cover the family's expenses.
Although there were not many people, it was lively and cheerful for the family to be together, and it was even more joyful to hear Dabao's childish words.
After the family had eaten the New Year's Eve dinner and stayed up all night, it was time for Wang Yu to take everyone out to set off fireworks. There were many fireworks being set off at this time, one after another, dotted like falling stars, which was very beautiful. However, when it comes to watching fireworks, the fireworks in the palace are still the most beautiful.
Their house is not very close to the imperial palace, but they can still see some of it. It looks very grand from a distance. After setting off their own fireworks, they can watch the fireworks in the imperial palace.
During the Dali period, the production of fireworks and firecrackers was controlled by the imperial court, and private construction of artillery workshops was not allowed. The production of these fireworks was very dangerous and could explode if not handled with care.
Ordinary people could only buy firecrackers and fireworks in shops opened by the imperial court. Of course, the palace fireworks made for the imperial palace were different and more grand and gorgeous. The emperor would also reward some palace fireworks to his ministers every year.
Wang Yu looked at the fireworks in the distance and thought to himself that he would ask the emperor for two next year so that his family could also watch the differences between these fireworks up close.
"Happy New Year, Achen."
"Happy New Year, husband."
Wang Yu turned his head to look at Cheng Chen. They had known each other for eight years. He watched him grow from a little boy into a young man, becoming more and more handsome. He loved him more and more every year. The boy he saw for the first time in this strange world had become the most important person in his life.
Cheng Chen also felt that her husband was looking at her. When she turned her head to look over, she almost became lost in his loving eyes. Her cheeks flushed slightly, as if she was drunk.
Seeing him like this, Wang Yu felt a little moved. After saying goodbye to his parents, he took his hand and went to the room. "Achen, let's get Dabao a brother or sister."
