Chapter 319



"Hey? Going to your house? What for?"

Uncle Jin was stunned. It was understandable that he went out for tea, but it was a bit strange to go to Jun's house!

"It's Chinese New Year! Aren't you celebrating the New Year alone in Beijing? We have such a good relationship and we are partners. You celebrated the New Year alone last night on New Year's Eve. I won't let you celebrate the New Year alone today no matter what!"

"Besides, this shop is deserted during the two days of the New Year. You can close it and reopen it in two days!"

Lin Yuxin felt that this decision was absolutely correct. Not to mention how much money Uncle Jin gave her, when she needed food in Jibei City before, Uncle Jin stocked up enough food for her without saying a word and asked the elder brothers to send it over. This kindness was worth her treating Uncle Jin well.

Besides, Uncle Jin is really pitiful. Although he is the richest man in Xia Country and has wealth and freedom, he does not have a good family, especially his ungrateful wife who cheated on him and wanted to murder him.

My parents weren't good either. Uncle Jin's family was a well-known family in Nanzhou, but unfortunately my father favored his concubine over his wife, and my mother died when I was about ten years old.

When he was young, Uncle Jin was often abused by his stepmother who was promoted from a concubine, so Uncle Jin had a bad life since he was a child. Later, the stepmother murdered Uncle Jin for her own child and threw him directly into the mountains.

Uncle Jin was only ten years old at that time. Fortunately, he was lucky enough not to die and was rescued by a hunter.

Afterwards, Uncle Jin never returned to that home. He knew that he was dead and that he should just live his own life from now on.

So he left Nanzhou, doing business and doing odd jobs along the way, and came to the capital. He suffered a lot at the beginning, but later he gradually found some tricks and earned some money.

It was also that Uncle Jin really had a talent for business. After he had money, he started to open shops. He had a unique vision, and the first jade shop he opened made a lot of money.

All the stones that Uncle Kim liked could produce jade, and he gradually became famous in the jade industry. After making enough money, he switched to opening a clothing store, and he also stumbled a few times at the beginning.

Later, as I gained some experience, things got better. More and more garment shops opened, and I focused on both garment shops and jade shops. Except for Nanzhou, I opened shops in several other states.

I swore that I would never return to Nanzhou in this life.

So Uncle Jin really has no family!

Lin Yuxin has been dating Uncle Jin for so long, and actually considers Uncle Jin as a good friend. She doesn't want Uncle Jin to spend the New Year alone on such an important day.

"Is…is this appropriate?"

Uncle Jin was a little surprised when he heard what Lin Yuxin said. Is it still possible? Going to Jun's house alone to celebrate the New Year is not... not good!

"Why is it inappropriate? Didn't my friend spend the New Year at my house yesterday? No one saw it, and no one can say anything! Let's close the shop and celebrate the festival!"

Lin Yuxin said as she pulled Jin's wrist and walked away!

"Hey! Wait! Let me close the store door!"

Uncle Jin was nearly knocked over, and quickly stood up and said.

Lin Yuxin paused, so the two of them moved together to clean up the inventory in the store's warehouse and then closed the door.

Lin Yuxin took Uncle Jin for a stroll around the Shiya Pavilion, intending to take Uncle Jin to the Shiya Pavilion for tea.

The two of them asked for a private room directly.

"Uncle Jin, sit down!"

Lin Yuxin sat down casually, pointed to the seat opposite and said.

Upon hearing this, Uncle Jin came over without hesitation, poured a cup of tea and took a sip.

Although I have a lot of wealth, I am very busy every day and I don’t seem to enjoy life as much as I do now.

Uncle Jin suddenly felt that he had made so much money but had not enjoyed it at all, which was a bit of a loss.

"Do you come here often?"

Uncle Jin looked at Lin Yuxin's skillful movements and asked curiously.

"Well! I don't come here often, but sometimes when I'm bored I'll come here to listen to these gentlemen and ladies reciting sad poems. There are storytellers here, so I can listen to them to relieve my boredom."

Lin Yuxin also picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and said lightly.

There is no way, the entertainment in ancient times was so simple, you can only go shopping, drink tea and listen to books.

As for the woman, admiring flowers and chatting were simple. Lin Yuxin felt that it was good enough that she was not driven crazy.

Fortunately, she is not the kind of woman who is indecisive and weak all day long, otherwise she might not be depressed.

"Haha! What you said is quite appropriate, girl!"

Uncle Jin was amused by Lin Yuxin's words.

You have worked hard for half your life and you only have two days off a year. Take these two days as a chance to relax!

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, although there is a tradition that people don’t go out to visit their families, they can still go out and play!

So there are still a lot of people on the street, and the Shiyalou is also very crowded. Just when I got in, the shopkeeper said that there will be a lantern guessing game the next day, and if you guess the lantern riddle, you can take those beautiful lanterns home.

Although it is daytime now, the lights are so beautiful!

Lin Yuxin's eyes lit up when she looked at the lights.

"Jun 덿 wants it?"

Uncle Jin saw Lin Yuxin's expression and knew what she wanted to do.

"Hey! These lights are beautiful. I want to take one home, but I don't know if the riddles are easy to guess!"

Lin Yuxin was still self-aware. Although she was a military doctor, she might know something about the ancient poetry. But she was only half-baked at the lantern riddle.

But it would be nice if it were something simple.

"Haha, just try your best for a while! Maybe you can guess one or two."

Uncle Jin hesitated for a moment, then said something comforting.

I dare not guarantee to help Lin Yuxin win. I know how much I have and I know that I am just a businessman, not a scholar.

Based on my previous experience, I couldn't read so many books.

Can you count the bills, right? Count them! You might as well go back and look at some more bills!

"No, I must find a way to get one later!"

Lin Yuxin was only depressed for a moment, then she cheered up immediately. It was just a lantern riddle! Didn't she have a cheating tool?

Yes! She thought about all the poems, songs, and life philosophies in the book! She combined them with her past life experiences and used them first!

Lin Yuxin had a good idea, but when she started guessing the lamp riddle, she was confused because she didn't even understand the riddle on the lamp. How could she guess the riddle? Forget it! Destroy it!

"Dear guests, I wish you all a happy new year. Today is the first day of the new year. To celebrate the new year, our Shiyalou will hold a lantern guessing game today. If you guess the lantern riddle correctly, you can take the lantern with you. Now, the lantern guessing game officially begins!"

The shopkeeper stood on the stage, smiling in a standard formulaic way, and respectfully explained the rules of the game to all the guests at the stage.

The guests were all excited, not because of the lights, but because they thought it was fun! How can we not have some fun during the Chinese New Year?

Soon the first lantern puzzle was released and hung in the middle of the hall.

The first lantern riddle: There is a plain zither on the mountain, and a candle is always burning.

Lin Yuxin was stunned when she saw the poem. Had she learned this poem in her previous life? ?

She hadn't figured it out yet, but someone else had. A man in the lobby spoke loudly:

"Cut a branch of plum for the swallow!"

"Guessed it right!"

The shopkeeper announced with a smile.
