Shitou followed Jingheng's order to give the Qin family a New Year's gift. Jingheng couldn't spare the time, so he asked Shitou to give Qin Xiaoxiao a message: Be obedient and I'll see you after the new year.

Qin Xiaoxiao was very disappointed not to be able to see Brother Li. But after hearing that Brother Li had prepared a carriage of delicious food for her, this little heartless person threw Brother Li out of the sky in an instant. She stared at the people on the carriage.

There were six large boxes, and his big black eyes became extremely bright.

The Qin family was shocked when they saw a carriage full of New Year gifts.

Seeing Shitou and the coachman busy moving the box down, Mr. Qin stepped forward to stop him: "Little brother, no reward for no merit, we cannot accept this great gift."

Shitou had dealt with Mr. Qin several times, and knew that this was an upright old man who might not always be able to reason with others, so he simply pretended to be pitiful: "Old man, I am also following orders. If I cannot complete the errands assigned by you today,

There will definitely be no good fruit to eat when I go back! For the sake of the Chinese New Year, I also want to go home to spend the New Year with my family, so I hope you won’t embarrass me."

Mr. Qin didn't know the rules of wealthy families. Seeing Shi Shi's words being so serious, it seemed that if he didn't accept the New Year's gift, it would prevent him from being reunited with his family. He couldn't say no if he refused: "This... let's do this, New Year's Eve."

I'll leave a box of gifts and you can take the rest back, I hope Mr. Jing won't embarrass you."

Shitou shook his head repeatedly: "Old man, if you only leave one box of things, I will definitely think that the remaining five boxes are not to your liking, and at the latest, five more boxes will be sent over the day after tomorrow until you find what you like."

Mr. Qin: "..."

Do all the young masters of this wealthy family act like this?

Unable to push away Jingheng's wishes, Mr. Qin had no choice but to recruit the three Qinshan brothers and ask them to move six large boxes into the house.

The villagers who gathered in front of Qin's house to watch the excitement clearly heard the conversation between Mr. Qin and Shitou. When they learned that this was a New Year's gift from a wealthy family in the capital, they all congratulated the Qin family enviously.

While talking, I couldn't help but inquire about the relationship between the Qin family and other wealthy families.

Mr. Qin knew that Jing Heng would come to his house after the New Year, and he couldn't hide it from the villagers. He was afraid that they would make random guesses, so he simply told them that the person who gave the New Year gift was Mr. Jing who had put down the riot in the grain depot last time.

After the villagers were shocked, they remembered the aftermath of the riot at the grain depot.

Less than three days after the riot in the grain depot, the imperial court sent an imperial envoy to conduct a thorough investigation into corruption in the grain depot. Not long after, the imperial envoy sent people to arrest the village chiefs of more than 100 villages under the jurisdiction of Le'an County.

The government office was called, and under the witness of more than a hundred village chiefs, the officials and servants involved in the case were put on trial.

Because the evidence was conclusive, the public trial went smoothly. The officials involved, led by the former magistrate of Le'an County, had their official positions stripped of their official positions, had all their property confiscated, and were sentenced to five to ten years in prison.

Even if these people are released in the future, they will not be able to resume their official positions, and their descendants will also be implicated and will not be able to serve as officials for at least three generations.

Not to mention those servants who worked for the tiger. Not only did they lose their jobs, but also had half of their family property confiscated and were sentenced to three to five years in prison. Although it did not affect future generations, it was enough for themselves and their families to be criticized by the world.

They can bear it.

The villagers knew that the matter was resolved so quickly because of the great efforts of Mr. Jing who put an end to the chaos. For them, it was also thanks to Mr. Jing that they no longer had to "pay tribute" in the future and no longer had to face difficulties from officials.

Therefore, after learning that Jingheng was on good terms with the Qin family, their first reaction was not jealousy, but joy.

After secretly rejoicing, their eyes fell on Qin Xiaoxiao, who was running in and out happily. They didn't know how to be envious: Oh, who allowed the Qin family to raise a good girl, and this girl happened to fall in love with Mr. Jing?

As for the fate, how wonderful it would be if the person who picked up Xiaoxiao was my own!

Knowing that it was Jing Heng who was giving the New Year gift, the villagers still did not leave. They wanted to see what was in the six large boxes, so they kept encouraging Mr. Qin to open the boxes.

When Shitou heard this, he said something to Mr. Qin. After hearing this, Mr. Qin gave some instructions to Mrs. Miao. Mrs. Miao turned around and went back to the room, quickly taking out two bags of food she had bought in the city a few days ago.

The peanut candies were distributed to the villagers who were watching, and they smiled and asked them to take them back to sweeten the mouths of the children at home.

The villagers didn't understand what the Qin family meant. They knew that if they continued to stay, they would be annoying, so they took two pieces of peanut candy and left the Qin family, becoming more and more curious about the contents of the six large boxes.

When there were no outsiders in the room, Shitou pointed at the six big boxes and said one by one: "These three boxes contain meat, all of which are fresh; this box contains all kinds of food cooked by the cook in the house; the last two boxes contain meat."

These are the clothes and materials for all seasons that the young master has prepared for Miss Xiaoxiao."

With Jingheng's identity, these things are not valuable and are not on the market. They are hard to come by as New Year gifts, but they are very practical for the Qin family. At first, Jingheng wants to give money directly, which at least can make the Qin family

It was his mother who thought it was inappropriate to build a spacious and bright house, so she changed it to these six large boxes of things.

For the Qin family, giving money is like a slap in the face, it is humiliating. This New Year's gift is very sincere, and it can be seen that it has been put into something.

After listening to Shitou's introduction, they also breathed a sigh of relief: This New Year's gift is not too expensive, so they can pay it back with some effort.

Qin Xiaoxiao heard that Brother Li had specially prepared two large boxes for her, so she couldn't wait to open them and take a look.

It was very rude to open the box and look at the gifts in front of the guests. Mr. Qin wanted to stop him, but Shitou didn't mind. He took Qin Xiaoxiao's hand to the big box and asked her to open the box by herself.

Qin Xiaoxiao spent some effort to open the two boxes. After seeing the neatly arranged new clothes and shoes, the boss opened his mouth: "Uncle Shitou, are all these clothes made by Brother Li?"

My brother is so awesome, even better than my mother!"

Shitou laughed loudly: "Young master doesn't know how to sew and thread. He personally selected the material for the clothes and asked the embroiderers in the mansion to make them all night long, just for today."

When Qin Xiaoxiao heard the word "embroiderer" for the first time, she curiously asked Shitou what an embroiderer was. Shitou explained patiently, which surprised the little girl, and then... and then more questions popped up.

, the stone in question is as big as two heads.

While the big one and the small one were asking and answering questions, the others couldn't help but come over to take a look, and were attracted by the exquisite patterns exposed on the clothes at just one glance.

Zhao Cao'er carefully picked up a set of clothes. The softness of her tentacles made her take a deep breath and hurriedly put the clothes back: "I have never seen such good materials in the cloth shop. If I touch them,

It would be a shame if it went bad.”

After saying that, she glanced at her little niece enviously, and whispered to Lin Qiuniang, who was also looking through the clothes carefully: "I thought the most valuable ones were the three boxes of meat, but I didn't expect it to be this box of clothes. Mr. Jing was so happy with Xiaoxiao.

alright!"

Lin Qiuniang took a general look and found that all the clothes in this box were exquisite and made of materials she had never seen before. Just by touching them, she could tell that they were valuable. Not to mention the other box of clothes.

The materials used for clothes are no worse than those used for clothes.

Hearing Zhao Cao'er's words, she began to feel uneasy again: If you are not a relative, you are sending such a good thing. Could it be that Mr. Jing has not given up yet and wants to use this method to make Gou Dexiaoxiao go to the capital with him and treat him as his toy?

companion?

Thinking of this possibility, Lin Qiuniang lost her mind for a moment. She looked nervously at her daughter who was asking questions about Shi Shi, fearing that after seeing such a good thing, she would despise her as a useless mother and be "cheated" by Jing Heng.

.

Others didn't notice Lin Qiuniang's uneasiness. Qin Shan was a rough guy and didn't have such a delicate mind at all. After looking at these two boxes of beautiful and exquisite clothes and materials, all he could think about was how beautiful his daughter looked when she put them on.

.

Not to mention the Dabao brothers and sisters, they are also half-grown children and they like new clothes and shoes far more than adults. Seeing that my sister has so many beautiful clothes all at once, I am naturally very envious.

Especially Xueya, the envy and longing in her eyes almost overflowed when she saw a box full of beautiful clothes that she had never seen before.

After Qin Xiaoxiao asked a series of questions, she started to open the remaining four boxes one by one. She could still control the three boxes filled with meat. After seeing the box filled with food,

, she couldn't help but drooled, her mind was filled with all kinds of snacks that she still wanted to eat in the food box that Brother Li left last time.

The Qin family's eyes were all attracted by the three large boxes of meat.

These three boxes contained a total of four kinds of meat. In addition to the pork that they could recognize at a glance, there were two types of meat that they could identify as mutton and venison based on the smell and meat quality. As for the last kind of meat, which was only half a box full, they

I really can't tell what it is without seeing it.

Shitou saw the Qin family's confusion, so he lowered his voice and said, "This is beef. The family got a lot of it, so the young master asked me to bring some over."

The Qin family members' expressions changed, and they were speechless as they stared at the beef, which weighed about thirty kilograms.

In the Tianyuan Dynasty, farm cattle were protected by law and could not be slaughtered privately. If the cattle were old or seriously ill and were unable to plow the land, they had to be reported to the local government, and they would be slaughtered after the official investigation.

Every time before the cattle are slaughtered, the beef is ordered in advance by rich, powerful or well-connected people, and it never comes out to the world. Because of this, beef is very rare and the price is very expensive. Many people are alive.

For most of my life, I may have raised a few cows, but I may not have eaten beef.

To put it inappropriately, beef can represent the identity of a person or a family. How can a family that can give away dozens of kilograms of beef at one go be an ordinary wealthy family?

This is why the Qin family is so surprised.

Mr. Qin thought more and knew why Shitou asked him to send away those who encouraged them to open the box. So he said to Shitou: "We don't know Mr. Jing's identity, and we won't know if someone asks him in the future.

He talks nonsense."

Shitou breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Mr. Qin would think too much, so he explained: "There is nothing unspeakable about the young master's identity. It's just that the young master may come to Qinghu to live for a while after the new year. He doesn't want his identity to be leaked and disturb this peace."

Mr. Qin was stunned: Come to Qinghu to live for a while? Where to live? Could it be... His eyes changed, and a hint of undetectable worry flashed through.

After completing the mission of this trip, Shitou was about to say goodbye and leave. When it was time to eat, there were no villages or shops along the way, not even a place to eat. Mr. Qin couldn't let them go on the road with an empty stomach.

Shitou and the coachman couldn't resist, so they had to stay. After eating and drinking, they drove the carriage to leave. It took six hours to get to the capital from here, and they had to drive at night. Fortunately, the section from Le'an to the capital was

The official road is flat and there are no hills on both sides of the road, so there is no danger in traveling overnight.

Before leaving, Shitou specifically found Qin Xiaoxiao and asked her if she had anything to say to his young master, and he could help her bring the message.

There was a lot of meat waiting for her to eat, a lot of delicious snacks to tempt her, and a box of beautiful clothes. Qin Xiaoxiao had nothing else to say to Brother Li except to say thank you.

After saying thank you to Shi Shi, seeing that he wanted her to say a few more words, the little girl felt that Brother Li was so kind to her, so she should say something nice, so she said: "I hope Brother Li will be happy every day and become more and more beautiful."

~”

Shitou burst into laughter: It’s easy to understand how to be happy every day. What the hell does it mean to be more beautiful as you grow older? He really dares to tell the young master like this. Can he still go home alive to reunite with his parents?

She wanted Qin Xiaoxiao to say a few more words, but Qin Xiaoxiao refused to speak. For her, growing older and becoming more beautiful is the best blessing!

Shitou had no choice but to leave the Qin family with the blessing of "Be happy every day and become more and more beautiful".

The Qin family was not in a hurry to take a break. They marinated the pork, mutton, and venison and hung them under the eaves for ventilation. The dozens of kilograms of beef were spread with a layer of salt and hung in the room, planning to take them out to dry after dark.

, you won’t have to worry about anyone seeing it after a few days.

As for the two boxes of clothing materials that Jing Heng gave to Qin Xiaoxiao, Mr. Qin asked Qin Shan to move them to the room of their family of three without saying a word, but Qin Xiaoxiao stopped him.

"Grandpa, I have a lot of beautiful clothes. I can use these to make beautiful clothes for my eldest brother, my second brother, Sanbao, and my sister Xueya!" Qin Xiaoxiao pointed to the box of clothes with no trace of reluctance on her face.

In the little girl's heart, the brotherhood with her brothers is much more valuable than this box of clothing. As for Xue Ya, well, that's just incidental.

Mr. Qin subconsciously looked at his eldest daughter-in-law, thinking that she was worried that his second daughter-in-law would be jealous and make the family uneasy during the Chinese New Year, so he taught his granddaughter to say this.

Lin Qiuniang didn't know Mr. Qin's guess, so she smiled and said, "Dad, it was all this girl's idea." After saying that, she gently rubbed her daughter's head, and her previous fear of her leaving with Jing Heng unexpectedly disappeared.

Quite a few.

It's just that her daughter generously gave a whole box of clothing materials to the children in the second room, and she still felt distressed. She kept such good materials and packed them at the bottom of the box, and made her daughter good clothes every year, so that she can wear them until she grows up!

Mr. Qin waved, took his little granddaughter into his arms, and asked seriously: "Your box of clothes is made according to your current figure, and you won't be able to wear it for the next year at most. Keep this box of materials,
Chapter completed!
