After being reborn, she became the richest man without being a queen

Chapter 105 New Years
After taking Liu Xiuwu, who was finally comforted, to Liu's house to see the dying mother Liu, Shen Qingling brought him back home.Now her yard is full of people from all backgrounds, it looks like a large courtyard.

But no matter what, Shen Qingling's life has entered into a temporarily stable state, with no troubles, no family and country hatred.

Except for the mother of the Shen family who was still looking for Shen Qingling in Yangzhou...

The two nuns who came from Bianjing didn't plan to go back for the New Year, they spent all day inquiring on the street, but they actually asked them to ask each family, and the question came to Shen Qingling.

Shen Qingling didn't want to pay attention to them, but these two nuns were very vigilant, just looking at Pingniang, she was sure that she was someone beside Shen Qingling.

Looking at the intercepted letter in front of her, Shen Qingling rubbed her forehead, and murmured displeasedly: "On the third day of the new year, do you have to force me to deal with them?"

Outside the yard, two teenagers, Li Chen and Du Feng, followed Shao Cong and Shao Ying to practice martial arts, Yu Xiang followed from him, while Yingxiu and Liu Xiuwu sat under the gazebo, watching boxing while warming up the fire.

What a peaceful scene.

"Second Lady, do you want to drink some soup to keep warm?" Ping Niang entered the room with ginseng soup, saw Shen Qingling's eyebrows were tightly frowned, and asked again: "But those two nuns in the morning made Second Lady bored? I have already said hello to the left and right neighbors, they will never betray the second lady, the second lady just needs to stay with the nanny, and she will naturally go back when the time comes."

"They will let others come when they go back." Shen Qingling took a sip from the soup bowl, "I can't say how Shen Zeng's attitude is, but Xu Yan hopes that I can be trapped to death in Bianjing. The Shen family has made a contribution, and it won't be an eyesore to her."

Ping Niang couldn't help saying angrily: "Everyone says stepmother is not mother!"

Ping Niang didn't continue to say the rest of the indignant words, she just walked behind Shen Qingling silently, squeezed her shoulders and thumped her back.

"There are some things that cannot be avoided." Shen Qingling sighed, leaned her head on Ping Niang, and said lazily: "The stepmother is not the mother, so when is my father? It’s all right to provoke me and my mother, but I want to come to my eyes to provoke dislike. That being the case, I have to plan carefully, let him fall hard, and improve his memory.”

The days passed by in the blink of an eye. From the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, Yangzhou has lifted the winter frost and snow and silence, and decorated with lanterns and festoons everywhere, preparing for the Shangyuan Lantern Festival.

On the day of the Shangyuan Festival, ladies and gentlemen put on gorgeous outerwear that contains the image of spring, and join in the grand event on the long street.

As soon as night falls, the lantern festival will begin.

There is no curfew these days, and even the city gates are not guarded, so people can come and go freely.Just in this way, the number of guards in the city has greatly increased, and even the three brothers of the Ren family have been summoned, so busy that they don't see anyone all day long.

After Shen Qingling ate the Wufu glutinous rice balls that she cooks every year, she led Yingxiu and Yuxiang out.Yuxiang took the food box and new clothes to the government office to visit her father, while Shen Qingling first went to Ren's house to invite Mrs. Ren, then went to Zhou's house to call Zhou Langhuan, and finally went to the street together, to the biggest lantern festival Swim to the lantern.

The street is full of young ladies and jade-faced gentlemen, who can be called a hundred heroes and thousands of flowers competing for beauty.

Mrs. Ren looked around, and finally set her eyes on Shen Qingling, while holding Shen Qingling's hand, she said with a smile: "Second Lady is still beautiful, also wearing a colorful lantern, but Second Lady's body is so beautiful. It's unforgettable. Fortunately, the clothes I bought for Minyan fit Er Niangzi's body, otherwise I would really have to teach my ignorant maid at that time."

On Shen Qingling's head was a jade jujube lamp decorated with pearls, which was exquisite and dazzling, and paired with a light white brocade jacket and a double butterfly embroidered pleated skirt dyed with tulip grass, it was really the only bit of elegance among the flowers .

She originally dressed more plainly, but when she went to Ren's house, she saw that the glutinous rice balls made by Mrs. Ren were extraordinarily sweet, so she wanted to eat a bowl of glutinous rice balls.As a result, the little maid of the Ren family sprained her foot, and the whole bowl of glutinous rice balls was sprinkled on her body.

Fortunately, Mrs. Ren ordered a new set of clothes for the eldest daughter before. She originally thought that the eldest daughter would not be able to go out due to childbirth, and she still had to have a formality, but she didn't expect it to come in handy at this time.

After she finished praising Shen Qingling, Mrs. Ren turned her head and praised Zhou Langhuan again, which made Zhou Langhuan hold the lamp and giggle.

Zhou Langhuan was similar to the other little ladies, with a lotus flower and peony lantern on her head, wearing a bright colored jacket, and a thousand-pleat silk skirt embroidered with large flowers, which was a hundred times more beautiful than flowers.

Carrying colored lanterns can be regarded as the most fashionable costume for going to the Lantern Festival, but when walking and talking, one must be careful in every possible way, if the lamp oil is spilled, one's hair may be burnt to the ground.

Of course, just losing her hair was the luck of the misfortune. A few years ago on the Lantern Festival, I heard that some young ladies lost their lives because of it.

"Sister and Madam, wait here. I'll buy you dates and rice bait." Zhou Langhuan saw that Yingxiu was going to buy a hand-carried lantern, and his eyes fell on the street food vendors, thinking about buying some snacks return.

"Be careful, watch your step." Shen Qingling instructed after checking Zhou Langhuan's lamp.

Zhou Langhuan nodded with a grin and walked towards the vendor with light steps.

Seeing Zhou Langhuan piercing through the crowd like a butterfly shadow, Mrs. Ren couldn't help sighing: "Miss Zhou's spirit is quite different from before, and her temperament is much more cheerful. It should be the second lady's credit."

"Madam Ren is overrated." Shen Qingling closed her eyes and smiled, and said: "Lang Huan's heart knot has been opened, and there are some melancholy clouds, so naturally they will not dissipate."

Considering that Ren Minyan couldn't go out and was bored at home alone, Shen Qingling asked Yingxiu to buy lanterns and various snacks, and prepared to send them back to Ren's residence.

Seeing this, Mrs. Ren quickly stopped Yingxiu, and said kindly: "I'd better go back by myself. Yingxiu is a little girl, it's rare to come out to see the lantern festival, so I can't miss it."

Yingxiu had never seen such a grand lantern festival in Yangzhou before. Although she tried her best to show a steady appearance at the moment, her sparkling eyes had already betrayed her heart.

"I was the one who invited Madam to the Lantern Festival, how can I let Madam go back alone? Shaochun and the others are afraid they will blame me." Shen Qingling refused, and took Madam Ren's hand.

Mrs. Ren laughed and said: "If they can think of me as a mother, then I will burn the incense. Okay, okay, the second lady can't be polite to me. I really miss Minyan in my heart, so I will Just let me send it back."

Unable to resist Mrs. Ren, Shen Qingling could only let go and agree.

On that side Zhou Langhuan rushed back, put the rice bait, tadpole soup and jiaosai he had bought into Mrs. Ren's hands, and said a lot of auspicious words.

Before leaving, Mrs. Ren took out three copper coins with the word "Ping An" written in cinnabar from her sleeve pocket, and handed them to Shen Qingling, Yingxiu, and Zhou Langhuan respectively, implying that the coming year will be prosperous and safe.
