Qian Xiuzhu wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said softly, "Xu Jieer has suffered so much in the past, but she will be safe and sound in the future. I don't ask for anything in this life, I just hope that our family will be safe and sound."
Jiang Boliang patted his wife's hand with a sigh on his face, and the couple went to sleep.
On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, everyone in the Jiang family got up early. After eating dumplings, the adults were busy giving red envelopes to the children. Chen Su was particularly generous. The red envelopes were full of silver coins. Those who received the red envelopes wanted to kowtow to him twice.
"It's good to wish the Marquis a happy new year. It makes me want to kowtow to him." Jiang Dalang whispered to Zheng Li'niang.
Zheng Li Niang glared at him, "How old are you? Aren't you ashamed?"
Jiang Dalang smiled at Zheng Li Niang, showing his white teeth, his eyes full of tenderness.
At this time, Lidong walked into the house with a lot of things in his hands. The voices in the main room stopped, and Jiang Boliang asked, "What is this?"
"This is a gift for all my nephews and nieces. I was in a hurry yesterday, so I just sent it here today."
"How can we let the Marquis spend so much money? They are our own children, why do we need any gifts?" Jiang Boliang said repeatedly, "No need, no need, it's really not necessary."
Chen Su smiled and said, "These are all gifts from me. I even asked Miaomiao for scriptures before sending them to you. Brother Jiang, please don't refuse."
Having said that, Jiang Boliang didn't know what to say anymore. All the younger generations in the family except Chen Huaixu received a gift.
Chen Huaixu looked at it with a smile, it’s okay, it’s okay, her New Year’s money is heavy enough, hehe.
Afterwards, Chen Huaixu, Jiang Sanlang and Jiang Wei took Jiang Fu and Jiang Rong around the village asking for New Year's money.
Naturally, there were children of all ages who went to Shen Huaixu's house. They all knew that the Marquis was there, so red envelopes were a must.
Not only people from Jiuxi Village but also people from Zhou Lizheng's family next door came to the Jiang family to pay New Year's greetings. They were full of joy when they came and were very happy when they left.
Chen Huaixu and his group also achieved a lot of results. Jiang Rong had a round face and looked very pleasing. Chen Huaixu was even more popular. He was pulled around and asked questions non-stop, and he hardly stopped talking from beginning to end.
In the blink of an eye, it was the third day of the New Year. Shen Su was preparing to leave for the county town, and Shen Huaixu also planned to go with him. He couldn't let his father be alone during the New Year.
"We will go to the county town to set up a stall in two days, and then we will visit the Marquis when we have time."
Shen Su smiled and nodded in agreement.
It snowed heavily on the seventh and eighth days of the first lunar month. After the snow stopped, Shen Huaixu started to busy herself with business again. She planned to open a shop and set up a stall outside without shelter from the wind and rain, especially in winter, when the cold wind blew and it was very painful.
She had a wide network of contacts in the county town, and she had chosen a place in just a few days. The villagers paid part of the labor cost, and she paid part herself. She decorated the shop as quickly as possible, and Jiang's Tofu Shop was freshly opened.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival, before it got dark, Shen Huaixu pulled Shen Su to the tofu shop.
The streets were bustling with people, and many lantern vendors had begun setting up stalls and lighting lanterns. There were also people performing lion dances, making the place very lively.
"Miao Miao, don't run around. Follow daddy closely, do you hear me?" He Su said loudly.
"I know, Daddy!"
Chen Huaixu felt that his two eyes were not enough. Modern festivals are also lively, but the feeling is different from now. Everyone is happy and cheerful from the bottom of their hearts, and they are full of energy and hope to look forward to a new year without illness and pain and a good harvest.
[Host, there is a person three meters away from you at ten o'clock, holding a dagger.]
Shen Huaixu's heart trembled, and he did not look in the direction that Fu Tuan pointed.
Daddy was on her left, coming towards him.
[Five meters behind, there's also a person holding a dagger.]
[On the roof of the spice shop, someone is holding a bow and arrow...]
······
Two tiny lights appeared on Chen Huaixu's right hand, which was hanging down. The lights separated as soon as they touched each other, one of them flew slowly into the sky, and the other flew towards the crowd behind.
At this time, Shen Su stopped.
Lidong immediately stepped forward and whispered something in Shen Su's ear, and Shen Su's face immediately darkened.
"Daddy, why don't you leave?"
Chen Su bent down and hugged Shen Huaixu into his arms, helping her put the red cloak hat on her head.
"Miao Miao, don't be afraid. Just close your eyes."
Shen Huaixu glanced at Shen Su's expression and closed his eyes obediently.
So far, she has not shown her skills in front of Shen Su, so she has no choice but to behave like a child.
After an unknown amount of time, she heard Shen Su say softly, "We've arrived at the tofu shop."
Shen Huaixu moved to indicate that he was going to go down, "I'm going to fall asleep if you don't come soon."
When they turned around, they saw Jiang Wei, Jiang Fu and Jiang Rong lying at the door watching them.
When Chen Su walked into the shop and started chatting with Jiang Boliang, Jiang Wei poked her face and said, "Little sister, are you ashamed? You are so old and still let your father hold you."
"Don't be shy, let our dad hold you. See if he can hold you up."
Jiang Wei rushed forward in anger and humiliation. She was a little greedy now. After the New Year, she was much heavier than when she fled from famine.
After the fight, Chen Huaixu took back the mechanical flying insect while no one was paying attention.
"Those people under your father are not simple. They can kill people without making a sound." Fu Tuan said.
[How could a general not have some skills? ]
Lidong was very distressed at this moment. After he had dealt with the people, he found that two of them died quietly - not really quietly, because one of them fell from the roof and made quite a noise.
After questioning, it was found that neither of them was the one who did the attack, but they were bleeding from all seven orifices and died in a very tragic way.
Leaving a group of people behind to clean up the mess, he rushed to the tofu shop to explain the situation to his master.
Shen Su pondered for a while and asked, "Did you take poison?"
"If he took poison, it must be a poison I have never heard of."
"Something's a little strange..." Chen Su pondered for a moment and asked again, "Sent by the Jiang family?"
"Yes. Most of the troubles caused by the Jiang family's children have been exposed recently, and most of them were settled with money. Now they are all in danger. Jiang Yan has always wanted to see you."
"Send the evidence of Jiang Yan's corruption and bribery to Guo Ning, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice in the capital."
"yes."
