Chapter 917: guest
Ever since Cuiniang was kicked out of the house, she never thought about going back.
She gave birth to four daughters for that scum, but she lived a life that was worse than pigs and dogs. Even her daughters were worthless, serving the whole family in her husband's house, washing and cooking, chopping firewood and boiling water. lost her daughter.
Being kicked out, even though life was difficult, Cuiniang survived.
It is said that it is not good to be a servant, and what she does is to serve others, but Cuiniang feels that she makes money with her hands, eats and drinks well, and can raise several daughters. She has an indescribable sense of accomplishment.
"Madam, I'm sorry, Cui Niang caused you trouble again."
Someone from her ex-husband's family came to make trouble in the shop, Cuiniang just said that she had sold herself and became a servant of the death contract, and everything was up to the master's decision.
So, those top graders didn't know where the courage came from, they ran to the village and made a fuss, demanding that Li Haitang give them money.
"It's not easy for you to be a woman, let alone trouble."
Li Haitang didn't take it seriously, she directly asked Wu Fu to report to the officials in Jingzhaoyi Yamen, and brought the official messengers, and arrested the best family members to the Yamen.
When those people saw that they were serious, their legs trembled in fright. Although they were afraid, they didn't dare to make trouble.
Then, Cuiniang and her four daughters were all removed from the genealogy of her husband's family.
For this reason, Cui Niang thought openly, that's fine, if there is no mercy, the past will be treated as a nightmare, let it go.
"You can't earn enough money, you have to rest when you should, especially throughout the year, you have to have a reunion dinner."
Cuiniang is a servant bought by her family and has a place to go, but others are different. They take their families with them, and some still live around the capital, and they can only go home once a month.
There are more than ten days of rest during the Chinese New Year. For them, they can just spend time with their families.
"Cui Niang, what benefits should we give out?"
Li Haitang planned to give everyone a red envelope, the shopkeeper, the cashier, the chef, and the waiter all got different money.
Besides, the items are all the same, so she asked Cuiniang for advice.
"Ma'am, is there anything else?"
Cuiniang has never heard of other shops giving things to the guys, and usually they can give a piece of meat, which is very conscientious.
"right."
Li Haitang counted the number of people, and found that most of the guys were married, some were old and some were young.
The New Year is spending money, and there are all kinds of goods for the New Year, such as peanuts, melon seeds, candies, red dates, and pastries, which must be prepared. Some poor people are reluctant to eat them themselves, so they have to keep some spares for the guests who come to the door.
Selling it outside is not as good as making it yourself, and you can also adjust the taste by yourself, peanuts, red dates, Li Haitang discussed with the grocery store early, and reserved the best for her.
Tomorrow is the closing day.
The food shop is only open until noon, and the guys tidy up together.
Li Haitang prepared various kinds of cloth, and each of them got a big cloth bag.
Fearing that the fresh meat won't fit, each person will distribute two catties of bacon, two catties of sausage, peanuts, melon seeds, some dried fruits, and candies made by Mrs. Wang. There are two kinds, peanut candy and sesame candy, which are definitely better than those sold in the market eat.
In addition, each person has a jar of pickles pickled by Mrs. Wang, the word "Fu", lanterns, everything is available.
In the end, several clerks couldn't carry it, so they borrowed the panniers from the shop. Everyone thanked them warmly and returned with a full load.
The Chinese New Year is coming in a blink of an eye, and the people in Kyoto are beaming with joy, and the poor are not ambiguous about spending money to buy new year's goods. Chinese New Year is the favorite day of the little ones, fried fruit, meatballs, and candy peanuts, they can't stop their mouths.
Li Haitang has a big stomach, walks like a crab, and walks sideways, occupying the narrow alley.
Xiao Lingchuan was on the sidelines escorting him, he had no choice but to go shopping for his wife himself.
Recently, he was busy researching and developing gunpowder, just waiting for this moment to spend time with his wife, seeing her surprisingly big belly, Xiao Lingchuan sweated.
"Ma'am, Zhuangzi has come up!"
Wu Fu was left in Zhuangzi to clean the house, and she was very happy when someone from the Northland came, and she couldn't bear it and came out to report the news.
"Who is it?"
Li Haitang was stunned when he saw his maid, "Why did you escape?"
There is still a buddy at home, Wufu must have come out to be lazy and want to go shopping and watch the excitement.
"Ma'am, hey!"
Wu Fu was guessed in his mind, and laughed dryly. She meant it, but the most important thing was to inform her, so that the wife would not find a big surprise when she came home, and then get too excited.
"I'm already very excited to see you."
The market is narrow, Li Haitang tried to find a wide place, otherwise the three of them would stand side by side and block the road to death.
Wu Fu paused, and decided not to say anything, and let his wife guess.
"Could it be Baibing Baishuang? Or is it cousin and Ruyi?"
Li Haitang didn't hold out hope. She preliminarily speculated that it was the two sisters Bai Bing and Bai Shuang, and Bai Bing's recovery should be almost healed.
The family needed someone, and the two sisters reached out to help, and Li Haitang trusted them very much.
"They're all here!"
Wu Fu talked about thumbs, "Ma'am, you are really amazing!"
It is not difficult to guess that Bai Bing Baishuang will come to the Northland, but Zhang Ruyi and Ruan Pingzhi are coming, but no one has notified in advance, and the bird quietly enters Beijing to scare everyone.
In the previous letter, Zhang Ruyi also said that she does not plan to come in recent years.
"Is Ruyi here?"
Li Haitang really yelled, threw away the green vegetables in his hand, and wanted to rush back.
I haven't seen my good sisters for a long time, and she is not in front of the two of them getting married. Now I want to talk to them.
Counting the time, Zhang Ruyi and Ruan Pingzhi set off from Beidi and rushed to the capital not long after they got married.
She thought that it should be a secret that the two of them came to Beijing, at least she didn't inquire about Zhang Zheng's news.
"Yes, I came here with Bai Bing and Bai Shuang, and now I have settled down in Zhuangzi."
Nanny Yu and Bai Guo cleaned up the yard and bought new bedding, etc. Zhang Ruyi held the bean bag and did not let go, which was rare.
"Husband, Ruyi and my cousin are coming to the capital. We'll have a lot of fun during the Chinese New Year. No, I have to go back quickly."
Thinking of this, Li Haitang didn't bother to buy vegetables. The house was well-equipped, and there were all kinds of seafood in the ice cellar.
Today she agreed to pick up Mrs. Wang Xiangli and return to Zhuangzi to celebrate the New Year together, and introduce Zhang Ruyi to their master and servant by the way.
There were so many people and lively, Li Haitang was delighted.
Not to mention her cousin, Zhang Ruyi is the most special to her. The relationship between the two is even better than that of sisters.
Some things are inconvenient to say in the letter, Li Haitang has endured it for a long time! Especially the snobbish eyes of Mrs. Gaomen in Kyoto, she has always been unaccustomed to it, so she just waited to complain.
"Okay, go back." Xiao Lingchuan supported his wife's arm, deep in his calm eyes were full of doting, but he didn't show it on his face, in short, whatever the lady said, it should be.
