Only this green, not disappointing the spring

Old man Liu did not stop the donkey cart, he just deliberately slowed down.

Big Girl's mother was crying, covering her mouth with her hands without making any sound. She just watched Zhou Xiaoxi and the other two leave without saying a word until they disappeared from view.

Zhang Danniu's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down, and Zhou Xiaoxi also breathed a sigh of relief.

I hope she can withstand the pressure after returning home and not tell Zhang Ergou.

Although the fact that Zhang Da Nv was redeemed would be known to everyone in the village sooner or later, it must not be spread by Da Nv's mother.

Because only in this way, when Big Girl can't bear it anymore, Zhou Xiaoxi will be able to help. Otherwise, she will definitely watch coldly!

Zhao and Li were both delighted to see Zhang Da Nv return safely.

No one thinks that the twenty-two taels of silver are a lot of money. Human life is the most important.

Zhao was in charge of the family's finances, and Zhou Xiaoxi was in charge of accounting. Before leaving, Zhao gave Zhou Xiaoxi a silver note of 100 taels plus 30 taels of silver.

She was afraid that she didn't have enough money and couldn't redeem the girl!

Zhang Danniu completely let go of the uneasiness in her heart. She didn't expect that she could turn a disaster into a blessing and really live with Xiaoxi, even if she was living with him as a subordinate!

The next day, Zhang Ergou did not come to cause trouble. This was probably the bravest thing that Da Niuniang had ever done.

In order to have a comfortable New Year's Day, Zhang Daniu did not leave the house before the New Year. If Zhao had not forbidden it, she would have wanted to stay in her bedroom.

He concentrated on doing manual work and insisted on not asking for any wages.

Zhao felt both distressed and helpless, so she had to save the money for her first.

Villagers often visited the house, and Zhang Da Nv tried to avoid them, but there was always a time when it was too late.

Unexpectedly, everyone seemed to have discussed it in advance. No one discussed the matter outside, and everyone helped to conceal it tacitly.

……

Once people start to get busy, the days pass by extra quickly, and time soon arrived at the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month.

Zhou Xiaoxi put on the clothes from the 'Jade Rabbit Bringing Blessings' series that Shangpin Pavilion had given her in advance. The inside was a light mountain mist color, and she wore a emerald green cloak on the outside, with only a circle of white fur on the outside.

Li simply combed her hair into a girlish bun and inserted a bamboo hairpin given by widow Zhang. Zhou Xiaoxi punched a hole at the end of the hairpin and crocheted a cute rabbit with red thread.

Zhou Xiaoxi's lips were red without any makeup, and her eyebrows were thick and long, which showed a bit of heroism. She had a pair of big eyes and long eyelashes that seemed to cast a shadow under her eyes.

Since the family started to have income, Li has paid great attention to taking care of Zhou Xiaoxi's skin. Today, her skin is no longer wheat-colored, but rosy and healthy.

After all this dressing up, although she can't be called a lady from a wealthy family, she is at least a pretty and charming girl from a small family.

The whole family couldn't take their eyes off the show.

As for Zhou Xiaonan, she was wearing a peach pink dress of the same style and a pink and purple cloak.

She was well taken care of in Doctor Zhang's home. Her little face was white and tender, with a bun on each side of her head and a rabbit hair accessory that Zhou Xiaoxi had crocheted especially for her.

A sweet and cute little girl.

The two sisters each held a bunny bag in their hands. At first glance, they looked like twins and were very eye-catching.

There was a knock on the door. Zhao went out with a smile. As expected, it was Manager Li.

Zhao was worried about Zhou Xiaoxi and her sister going to the auction, so she sent Li Dali to accompany them.

But these words of advice are particularly heartbreaking.

"Da Li, this time you will just follow behind the Xiao Xi sisters as a servant, and remember to stay close to them! Also, try not to talk too much. If you are not good at talking, don't reveal your weaknesses, understand?!"

Li Dali had long been accustomed to her mother's merciless way of speaking. It was not a good idea to make her angry during the New Year, so she agreed to all her requests.

Zhang Da Niu was afraid of being seen by her parents, so she didn't go this time. She quickly filled the hot water bottle and handed it to Zhou Xiaoxi and her sister. She pouted her lips, reluctant to leave.

Zhou Xiaoxi couldn't bear to watch and advised:

"Big girl sister, why don't you just come with us, it's no big deal."

Zhang Danniu shook her head firmly. As she said before, the most important thing during the New Year is to have a happy and joyful holiday!

Zhou Xiaoxi stopped persuading him.

Manager Li did not drive the car directly to the Xiankelai Restaurant, but stopped about one kilometer away from the city gate.

There was already another ordinary carriage waiting there, so the three of them changed carriages and continued on their way to Xiankelai.

Zhou Xiaoxi admired Manager Li's ability to do things very much, and he really did a good job of keeping confidentiality.

When they arrived at their destination, Cyclamen was already packed with people, so Zhou Xiaoxi and his friends had to get off the car early and walk over.

The servant driving the car led the three people into the restaurant smoothly, and then led them to a private room on the third floor with familiarity.

The layout of the restaurant is clear at a glance. There is a hall in the middle surrounded by tables and chairs. The second and third floors surround the hall and are all private rooms.

The auction booth is located in the lobby on the first floor. The high platform is decorated very festively, full of the flavor of the New Year.

The windows of the restaurant were covered with paper-cuts made by Zhou Xiaoxi's family in a hurry. Two large rabbits were placed on the auction platform with the Chinese character "福" hanging in their hands. Even the lanterns hung everywhere had hollow rabbit patterns cut out.

As you approach the private room on the third floor, what immediately catches your eye is a bunch of brightly crocheted peach blossoms placed on the table and placed in a bamboo vase, giving you the illusion that spring has arrived.

Next to the vase is a small and exquisite bamboo basket, which contains a small and exquisite rabbit doll and a small stack of cut window decorations.

After the guests enter the private room, the waiter will tell them that they can take the things on the table away if they like. These are the souvenirs that Shangpin Pavilion prepared for them.

Everyone was admitted by invitation.

As for these invitations, a small part of them are given away, and the rest of them need to be purchased. The better the location, the more expensive it is.

Fu Qiuyang had no worries about sales at all. Their publicity was very effective and invitations to the auction were almost hard to come by.

The second floor is the best place to watch the auction, especially the five private rooms facing the exhibition stand. Fu Qiuyang had reserved them for later use and did not sell them to the public.

The most surprising thing about this auction was the five distinguished guests who were coming. He didn't even know the identities of some of them, but the middleman who asked for the post was of high status, so he didn't dare to ask too much.

Zhou Xiaoxi and the others were arranged on the third floor mainly for quietness. After all, she didn't need to buy anything.

Zhou Xiaoxi was not in a hurry to enter the room. She leaned against the fence and looked around. There were many people around her who were like her, with curiosity and excitement on their faces.

In order to keep it secret, Fu Qiuyang would deliberately avoid Zhou Xiaoxi and others today. At this moment, he was surrounded by a group of people discussing something.

Zhou Xiaoxi was a little far away from him, and although he couldn't see clearly, he could still see his fatigue. It was estimated that this man hadn't had a good rest for several days.

When Zhou Xiaoxi lowered his head again, he saw Yang Zian's tall figure.

Zhou Xiaoxi was very happy to see an acquaintance. Just as she was about to reach out to say hello to him, she looked closely and found that he was leaning over and whispering something to a young girl, so she held back.

She took her sister's hand and walked into the private room and sat down. Zhou Xiaonan seemed a little unsatisfied but still sat down obediently.

My sister has her reasons for everything she does!

Soon footsteps were heard, coming closer and closer.

As soon as Zhou Xiaoxi raised his head, he met Yang Zian's eyes. Then, behind him walked out a beautiful girl with exquisite clothes, accompanied by a maid.

What was embarrassing was that her hair style was very similar to that of the maid behind the girl.

tsk...
