They didn't go to the county, or they went at the wrong time, so they didn't know that this thing was made by others to make money, and they thought it was really made of gold.
Ling Jiheng hurriedly explained: "This is not gold, but a process that uses copper powder and other things to make it brighter."
He could only be so vague, for fear that someone with such a stupid mind would tear off the couplet he had just posted.
Everyone was a little disappointed when they heard it wasn't real gold, but they were also envious of the fact that they could put on such a good one.
They made some money this year, so they dared to buy two red paper stickers.
Usually they would get two wooden boards, ask Song Li to write a few big characters on them, and at most stick two palm-sized pieces of red paper on them to make things look good.
Ling Jiheng smiled and asked everyone to go back and prepare the New Year's Eve dinner, and said that he would wait for the children to come over to pay New Year's greetings tomorrow morning.
Everyone in Qingshan Village smacked their lips and finally came to terms with the taste.
It turns out that the Ling family has also prepared candy. Then, can these adults come here and pretend to be children?
Ling Jiheng took the male grandchildren of the Ling family to paste couplets in each room, making the entire house a sea of bright red.
In the eyes of others, a pair of pure gold couplets worth one hundred taels are no different from ordinary ones in the eyes of the Ling family.
The mushroom shed and cattle pen were all labeled with "Ten Thousand Pieces of Gold" and "The Pen is Full of Fat Pigs".
Holding the recipe in hand, it is so luxurious. The golden "Fu" character is pasted all over the courtyard wall, which makes people happy when they see it.
Ling Jiheng threw the remaining paste to Ling Jiyi and returned to Qingfengyuan.
After washing his hands with Baozhu's help, he went to the ear room.
Smelling the milky aroma floating in the air, he swallowed his saliva, put his arms around Chi Xingyue's waist, and whispered in her ear: "What are you doing? It smells so good."
Chi Xingyue smiled and picked up a piece of pumpkin milk square cake, stuffed it into Ling Jiheng's mouth, and said, "The purple potato one would be more delicious, but it's a pity that it can't be taken out."
There is also mille-feuille, she likes the mango and pineapple flavors.
There are mango trees in the space, but no pineapples.
I picked two mangoes to make mille-feuille, but I only dared to hide it in the office and wait until night time to have it as a snack.
Ling Jiheng flirted with Chi Xingyue for a while, then rolled up his sleeves to help.
There are so many people in the family. If the young wife does it alone, I'm afraid she won't be able to give everyone a bite before dark.
With the efforts of the two of them, and with the help of the stove and oven in the space, they made more than ten servings in a short time.
Chi Xingyue put the things into the space, leaving only the plates and bowls, and placed them upside down on Ling Jiheng's desk.
Baozhu always followed the rules and never looked through closed cabinets or boxes. What's more, she was still guarding the room.
Shaking his aching arms and legs, and twisting his stiff, cracking neck, Chi Xingyue yawned and prepared to go back to bed.
Then Xiaohe brought lunch over.
"Second Young Master's Madam, the old lady saw that you and the Second Young Master were busy, so she specially asked me to bring you lunch. Please try it and see if it suits your appetite."
Chi Xingyue blinked, thinking that it was already past lunch time. Didn't she ask Baozhu to go over and tell her that she wouldn't eat?
Meeting Xiao He's slightly teasing look, Chi Xingyue sighed and started eating.
The soft and glutinous braised pork paired with fragrant white rice is so delicious.
The winter mushrooms next to it are fresh and smooth, and the lettuce and romaine lettuce are green and juicy.
The most important thing was the bowl of milky white fish soup, which she, who had no appetite, drank up.
Xiao He looked at the Second Young Master's wife wolfing down the food and smiled with satisfaction.
When I get back, I'll learn from the old lady and maybe I can get some extra money as a reward.
Not long after Chi Xingyue finished her meal, she couldn't hold on any longer. She took off her shoes, lay down on the kang, and fell asleep with her pillow.
It was not until the evening that I heard laughter in the yard and then I opened my eyes.
Today is New Year's Eve, and everyone is happy from the bottom of their hearts.
The old lady was wearing a cotton-padded jacket made of lake blue brocade and was standing in the yard directing her servants.
Geng Suhua and Liang Zhijun also put on the new clothes they bought some time ago and put on the jewelry that Chi Xingyue gave them, making them look dazzled.
Shu Muyun and Chi Xingyue changed into peach pink jackets, which made their skin look as white as snow.
Chi Xingyue even picked out a plum blossom hairpin from the jewelry box and plugged it in, making her look lively and cheerful.
Doctor Cheng came back from Dahe Village, changed his clothes and went to Rongsiyuan to block the pond and Xingyue.
Seeing the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law coming, I didn't feel comfortable going forward.
It wasn't until the little girl was left alone that he asked with a dark face, "Girl, do you have anything to tell me?"
Chi Xingyue didn't understand what was going on, and her puzzled eyes gave Doctor Cheng a heart attack.
"You actually gave that white powder to someone else and didn't even give it to me, your godfather!"
Chi Xingyue: “…” Are you sure you are not taking advantage of me and my husband?
Seeing Doctor Cheng pouting and his eyes gradually moistening, Chi Xingyue hurriedly comforted him: "It's not some secret medicine passed down from our ancestors, it's just some fever-reducing powder.
Don't worry, there's more at home. I'll get it for you after dinner."
She now owns a pharmacy, so she doesn't need those three or five fever-reducing pills. Nothing could disappoint the old doctor.
When Doctor Cheng heard this, his tears immediately stopped and a solemn look appeared on his face.
He pulled Chi Xingyue to the corner and asked in a low voice, "How much medicine powder do you have?"
Chi Xingyue pursed her lips and said, “Not much, just one bottle, found with those medical books.
The Cui family has a special status, and I was afraid that Master Cui wouldn't be able to make it to your death, so I gave a little bit of it to the young lady of the Cui family as a favor."
Doctor Cheng snorted coldly: "The girl from the Cui family looks okay, but her mother is not someone you can easily mess with.
From now on, put away your kindness. That old woman actually suspected you of poisoning her!
Chi Xingyue's pupils suddenly shrank, thinking that it wouldn't be that serious.
Doctor Cheng snorted disdainfully, "Those wealthy people have had too much of a good life, and their brains have gone awry. They say the medicine is too effective, and I suspect it's adulterated."
I think it's because I've been treated so long by quack doctors that I think it's amazing how fast I cure diseases.
To believe those who are vague and exaggerate the situation is simply foolish!"
Chi Xingyue nodded, expressing his shared hatred and solidarity. At the same time, he also despised Cui's mother's petty intentions.
I thought that if she wanted to harm someone, she could just prevent Ling Jiheng from going to Dahe Village. Was there any need to hand over the evidence to the other party?
Besides, drugging someone is no big deal. If you're not careful, you'll get caught.
In modern society, there are many ways to kill people without anyone noticing. Even if she doesn't know much about them, she has heard of a few familiar ones.
If you take action, you will definitely not be able to find any evidence against yourself.
Forget it, forget it. Don't think about it anymore. There's no point getting angry at stupid people. It's New Year's Day today, so I have to be happy.
Chi Xingyue put on a smile again and walked into the east room. She saw the old lady waving at her and asking her to sit next to her.
Chi Xingyue didn't hesitate and sat down directly. Next to him was Ling Jiheng, and next to Ling Jiheng were Shu Muyun and Ling Weicheng.
The entire banquet was not arranged according to social status. Everyone found their own seats tacitly and in perfect harmony.
