Becoming a stepmother of three children gives me space

Honglu Inn,

In the reception area for foreign guests and merchants, Solomon arranged for all the boxes in the carriage to be moved to the room and handed the horses to the innkeeper.

He took the two of them, covered his head with a turban, left the inn, and headed to Yanzuofang in the northern district.

If the North District is a civilian area, then Yanzuofang is a slum, with poor sanitary conditions and a terrible living environment. It is a mixed crowd of people from all walks of life.

It was New Year's Eve, and even the dirty and messy Yanzuofang was cleaner than usual.

Solomon arrived at the entrance of the market but did not go in. Instead, his two subordinates went into an alley and then went around in circles until they came to a tavern.

The owner of the tavern was drunk and lying on the counter.

"Shen Wansan!"

The boss pointed to the place where the wine jars were placed in the store:

"5 wen on the left, 10 wen on the right, 8 wen in the middle, type it yourself."

It's a miracle that his store hasn't been emptied out given his business.

"The land is high and steep, and the mountains and streams are as beautiful as ever."

Brush!

Shen Wansan got up, his face showing surprise:

"The door faces the sea, the water of the three rivers flows together for ten thousand years!"

"Is there any eye ointment that can clear away heat and toxins and cure eye diseases?"

"Have"

"How much silver?"

"Five ounces of gold and five ounces of silver"

"Why is it so expensive?"

"Which hall is it near the Red Flower Pavilion?"

"Aokido"

"How many incense sticks should be burned in the hall?"

"Five-stick Incense"

Just then someone came to buy some wine, and Shen Wansan handed him the wine spoon:

"Hit it yourself."

He left the man where he was and dragged the two of them into the backyard.

"Did the master send you to find me? Is there some mission? I'm going to get moldy staying here."

Shen Wansan kept on talking.

"Shut up!"

Zhou Da took out a token and saw that it was the Tian Zi Order. Shen Wansan immediately became serious, because those who held the Tian Zi Order were the adults' true confidants.

What we do is naturally a big thing.

Zhou Da took out a wooden box from his arms and opened it. Inside was a glass rabbit that was crystal clear and had almost no impurities.

"We have a batch of colored glass in various shapes and sizes. The largest one is ten feet tall. You need to find a way to sell this batch of goods at a high price."

I simply told Shen Wansan the mission and the situation. Shen Wansan was so excited that he raised his fist. He finally had the opportunity to show his skills instead of staying here selling alcohol.

New Year's Eve,

After every family finishes their reunion dinner, they begin to stay up all night.

Niu Niu was young and her head was nodding as she began to doze off until the sound of firecrackers rang out.

Xiao Yunxi took out three red sachets of the same color,

"This is the New Year's money that mom gave you."

The tradition of giving New Year's money is to ward off evil spirits and should be given before midnight. However, there were no clocks in ancient times, so people could only estimate when the time was almost up. Zhou Jin also took out three lucky bags.

Xiaobao is happiest when he sees that he has money, because with money he can buy candied haws.

There were firecrackers outside, proving that it was almost midnight. Xiao Yunxi started making dumplings, and the whole family joined in.

The dumplings made by the three little guys are of all sizes, round, fat, and thin.

Xiao Yunxi stuffed another copper coin into the dumpling. Soon, the sound of firecrackers outside became more and more frequent. Although she didn't know how the people setting off the firecrackers determined the time,

Since someone is setting it off, just follow suit.

Tangjia Village's conditions improved, and every household bought firecrackers. The sporadic sounds of firecrackers became more and more frequent.

There are no very long firecrackers. Firecrackers are stacked end to end so that they can last longer.

Children like this time the most. Niu Niu no longer feels sleepy, and Xiao Bao wants to light the firecrackers by himself. Zhou Jin prepares the fire starter and lets him light it himself.

Very excited, but also timid,

Click, step back.

I found that it was not lit, so I clicked it again, but it was still not lit. Dabao pouted, thinking that he was really a bad cook and didn’t like to play.

Finally lit the firecrackers

"Ahhh!"

She ran away screaming. The snow on the ground was already frozen. She accidentally slipped and was picked up by Zhou Jin with one hand.

If I wasn't worried about the trouble of washing clothes, I would let him fall.

Firecrackers crackled and Niuniu covered her ears and jumped around.

Xiao Yunxi picked her up.

"Eating dumplings!"

The dumplings were already cooked, but without the lights, Xiao Yunxi couldn't find the dumplings she had marked in the dim light.

Until Xiaobao yelled and spat out a copper coin from his mouth,

Luochuan County

Zheng Tianming listened to the sound of firecrackers outside the house, and an unprecedented sense of loneliness arose spontaneously.

Others have relatives, but he is truly alone. Those so-called relatives are just a bunch of jackals.

The jackal he was talking about was gloomy and sad.

The people from the capital had such a big appetite that even the Zheng family, despite their wealth, couldn't support them.

"Tianxiang, what did your uncle say?"

Zheng Tianxiang lowered his head, his eyes flickering:

"My uncle said that any request from the capital must be met."

Zheng Yaozu's face became even gloomier.

Beijing,

royal palace,

Emperor Zhao Ji of Daxia sat in the main hall. Today was New Year's Eve, and all the civil and military officials in the court were attending the banquet, but the seat next to him was empty.

His face suddenly darkened:

"Why don't you see the Queen?"

The eunuch beside him leaned forward and said:

"Your Majesty, the Empress is ill..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Zhao Ji.

"Go back."

Zhao Ji's voice was low. Ever since the death of the crown prince, the couple had been alienated. The queen had been living in seclusion, not participating in any activities, and the harem was in chaos.

What's the use of having a queen like this?

I just don’t know what the attitude of that kid from the Xiao family is. It’s a big trouble.

In Kunning Palace,

The queen doesn’t know yet that she is going to be deposed. Even if she is deposed, so what?

She stood in front of the temple, looking at the falling snowflakes, swaying towards the north, with a rare smile on her face.

"Your Majesty."

"Mother will come to avenge you soon."

“Don’t worry.”

The snowflakes fell heavier and heavier, blurring the Queen's figure.

After two years of waiting, hope finally comes.
