A Farmer's Lady's Guide to Getting Rich

Chapter 438
"Happy Chinese New Year! Happy Chinese New Year, Congratulations to Fa Cai and your family to be happy and auspicious..."

In the blink of an eye, it was the New Year's Eve, and the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and everyone was beaming with joy, and they spoke auspicious words as soon as they met.

The Shen family and Qin Xiucai in the Wen Dao Hall were all taken to the palace. The weather was sunny and warm, so everyone moved a long table in the yard.Scholars were busy writing couplets, and Changning's handwriting was not good-looking, so they took out their housekeeping skills to draw patterns and cut window grilles.

Seeing her wonderful brushstrokes, drawing a little idea on the red paper, she drew beautiful patterns one after another, which aroused the applause of the Shen family and the servants of the palace who had never seen her such skill!

While Chang Ning was happy, he drew dozens of pictures in one go.

"Oh, I don't want to draw anymore, cut it slowly! My ability is far behind that of someone who can really cut window grilles. I can only draw, but I can't cut at all." More than an hour passed in the blink of an eye. , Chang Ning's hands were tired from drawing, so he lost his brush.

"Cousin is really humble, you have such talent, no wonder the happy family can do it." Shen Yu has been by Changning's side, nodding frequently: "Cousin is really amazingly talented!"

"My amazing ability is more than that!" Changning smiled playfully, and then asked: "Cousin, have you seen those two farms, how do you feel?"

"Very good!" Shen Yu nodded and said, "The tens of thousands of taels of silver you throw out will never lose money."

"That's good!" Chang Ning nodded reassuringly, and asked again: "My son is planning to call a few guards for Wen Daotang, and send someone from the guards of the palace to manage it. What do you think, cousin?"

"The nursing home doesn't need to recruit, and people don't need to be sent!" Shen Yu nodded and said, "There are only a few men who do rough work in the Wen Dao Hall."

"Cousin, Master Shizi also had good intentions, thinking that Wen Dao Hall is full of scholars, and I'm afraid that someone will come to make trouble in the future." Chang Ning was afraid that Shen Yu would misunderstand, so he quickly explained.

"Cousin, you don't know something!" Shen Yu smiled slightly, then suddenly raised his head and pointed to the rockery in the middle of the courtyard, and asked, "Cousin, do you think the tree on the top of the mountain is tall?"

"It's very tall!" Chang Ning looked at the rockery at least five or six meters high, and the small trees on the top of the mountain were as thick as the mouth of a bowl, at least two meters high.

"It's the Chinese New Year, and the mountain should be more festive!" Shen Yu reached out to pick up a window grille, and with a light step, he flew up the rockery as lightly as a swallow.

He has a graceful posture, with his robe sleeves stretched, fluttering like a fairy, he flew up to the top of the mountain, hung the window grille on the tree fork, flew back and jumped back.

The whole process was done in one go, and when he returned to Chang Ning's desk, he was still blushing and out of breath.

"Brother Yu is amazing!" Chang Xi cheered immediately!
"Second brother is doing well!" Several Shen family children nearby applauded and applauded, and Elder Shen also nodded slightly.

"Cousin, you are a master of martial arts! How is it possible, aren't you a scholar?" Chang Ning was stunned, tongue-tied, never expecting that Shen Yu, who usually looks gentle and bookish, would possess a unique skill.

"I usually think that Cousin Yu has an extraordinary temperament, but I never thought that he is hiding it!" Xiao Qian was also very surprised.

"Although our Shen family has fallen, it used to be a big family that raised secret guards, and all the men in the clan also practiced martial arts since childhood." Shen Yu laughed and said, "Do you know why the empress Lan Fei of Ximan knows your mother?" ?”

"Why, ah, is the Lan family the guards of the Shen family?"

"That's right, the Lan family is the surname of the secret guard of our Shen family. Concubine Lan and your mother grew up together. They are like sisters and are almost inseparable. If Concubine Lan hadn't left later, your mother would never have met your father... …Uh, let’s not talk about it, fortunately I have you!”

Because of Shen Wei's death, the Shen family really hated Qin Xiucai in their hearts, and Shen Yu almost uttered their disgust.

"Let's not talk about the past. Since my cousin is so capable, I can rest assured at the Wen Dao Hall!" Chang Ning was really pleasantly surprised at this time. The Shen family has both civil and military skills. No one will be available in the future.

"Brother Yu, can you teach me how to fly, I want to learn how to fly too..." Chang Xi quickly entangled Shen Yu.

Shen Yu showed this trick so suddenly that Chang Ning and Xiao Qian had to marvel at how deep the Shen family was hiding.At the same time, Chang Ning admired his cheap father Qin Xiucai very much. How lucky was his old man to know Shen Wei and fool him!

Unfortunately……

Changning thought about it for himself, and felt heartbroken for the Shen family.

Qin Xiucai can also feel this, he knows that he can't make up for the Shen family, he can only study hard.Therefore, ever since he arrived at Wen Dao Hall, he has been immersed in studying hard, even today's Chinese New Year is not to join in the fun, just sit in the corner with a book and meditate.

"It looks like father-in-law will be able to go to high school next year!" Seeing this, Xiao Qian quietly said to Chang Ning.

"I hope, the Shen family's children are so talented that they can only be white men. It's really a waste of talent. If my father can go to high school, my grandfather can feel more at ease."

"Well, to give up such an excellent family as the Shen family because of a woman, those who agreed that the Shen family would never become an official are simply idiots!"

Xiao Qian nodded quietly.

Because Chang Ning and Xiao Qian were going to enter the palace to eat with the royal family, the New Year's Eve dinner at home could only be changed to noon.A total of two tables were set up for the banquet, apart from Changning's family and Shen's family, there was another table for Master Shi Su, Master Zhu, Treasurer Zhu and others.

Letting these people eat together is also to let everyone in the palace get to know the Shen family.In the future, Changning and Xiao Qian returned to the northwest. The Wendaotang, Xingfuju and Xingfujia here must be closely connected with the palace, and everyone should be familiar with each other so that they can help each other.

Because they were all family members and close and familiar people, everyone ate this meal in a relaxed manner. Relatively speaking, the palace banquet at night seemed very dull and boring.

It's just that something big happened at the dull and boring palace banquet.

The palace banquet for this New Year's Eve dinner is basically equivalent to the royal family's family banquet. All the people who come are the royal family and there are no ministers.Xiao Qian, as the only prince of the opposite sex, was reluctantly invited to attend the banquet. Bei Rong's uncle and nephew, as in-laws, also attended the banquet.

The banquet was scheduled to start at [-]:[-] Shen Shi, but until You Shi, the emperor, empress dowager and others had already taken their seats, and King Qi arrived late in a wheelchair.

"Please forgive the empress mother and the emperor's brother, I am late!" King Qi apologized as soon as he entered the palace.

"King Qi is inconvenient, it's justifiable!" The emperor's face was full of displeasure, but King Qi was a disabled person, and he was his younger brother, and his mother, the queen mother, was also there. The old Chinese New Year couldn't be held accountable, and the emperor could only be displeased. said unhappy.

"Xie Huangxiong!" King Qi nodded slightly, and then suddenly said: "Tao'er, hurry up and pay your respects to your imperial grandmother, imperial uncle, and all the elders."

???

"Tao'er has seen the emperor's grandmother, the emperor's uncle and aunt..." Before everyone could react, the young man who was pushing King Qi's wheelchair suddenly let go and took a step forward. The others kowtowed their heads.
