The Yan family did not send New Year gifts to the Duke of Qi. In the eyes of the First Emperor and Gong Yumingxi, Li Xingjian was Li Xingjian, and the Duke of Qi was the Duke of Qi.

However, what I didn't expect was that the Duke of Qi's mansion sent a New Year's gift, and it was the steward of the Duke's side who personally came to give the gift. Li Chu was also present.

After Li Chu arrived, he first bowed to Gong Yumingxi seriously. After the housekeeper presented the gift list and left, Li Chu, who was left behind, looked at the Fusu brothers and sisters with aggrieved eyes.

You promised to pick me up in two days? How many days has it been?

Mrs. Lu from the Zhongde Marquis Mansion was injured, so she remembered to pick him up and play with him for a day. If it hadn't been for the sight of Sister Youyou, which comforted his injured soul, he would have never wanted to deal with these three people again within this month! It’s still my brother and sister who don’t keep their word!

Fusu was embarrassed by the little guy's resentful eyes. It was not that he had forgotten Li Xiaochu, but wasn't he thinking that Li Xiaochu had just returned to the Duke of Qi's mansion and had to fulfill his filial piety in front of his elders? Then I sent the person back and went to pick him up. What's going on?

But Qixun and Lingyu really forgot about this little guy.

Qixun has a lot to do, but Lingyu is only concentrating on giving birth to Lingzhi and doing fruit and vegetable business.

It wasn't until Qixun brought the little guy a lot of snacks that Li Chu's resentment eased.

Qixun promised to keep him at Yan's house for a few days, and then send him back to Qi Duke's Mansion two days before the new year. He would definitely take him out to play during these few days at Yan's house, and Li Xiaochu's face showed a smile again.

Lingyu thought that this boy loved to eat fruit, especially now that it was winter. He couldn't just focus on himself with the fruit he gave him when he was sent home. He must have given it to the elders in the family, and he was afraid it would be gone by now. Then he also brought some fruits over.

Li Chuxiao felt as if he were an adult: "This feels like returning home. In the Duke's Mansion, there are not only too many people but too noisy, and the food is not smooth."

Lingyu laughed at him: "Are you the only one who still dislikes others making trouble?"

Li Chu snorted: "Aren't you making trouble? There are so many cousins, the ones who are a few years older than me are better and more childish, but I feel that I can still talk at least. Those who are similar in age, my Oh my God, sometimes we fight and sometimes we make noise, shit..."

Speaking of this, thinking that Aunt Yan was still in front of him, he hurriedly said: "Well, sesame seeds are big and you have to howl a lot. Do you think it's life-threatening? That was the day I was taken to Zhongdehou Mansion by Aunt Lu. , be quieter."

It's funny for him, a little six-year-old kid, to call his older brothers and sisters childish.

Lingyu said solemnly: "That's quite terrible. In order to take care of the elders' favor and consider our brothers and sisters, we have to endure it. When have we, Li Xiaochu, ever endured others? It's really hard for you."

Li Chu sighed: "Isn't it?"

Lingyu couldn't help laughing: "Then your sister, Youyou, won't make trouble?"

Li Chu had an expression on his face that said, "How can my sister Yoyo be so troublesome? You're so good. She doesn't make trouble. Even if she makes trouble, I like it too!"

Speaking of this, he sighed: "It's a pity that Aunt Lu only has one child, sister Youyou. Otherwise, I would definitely take sister Youyou into our home and make her my younger sister! My parents must be happy. They have always wanted to have a younger sister. Unfortunately, maybe It’s because I’m too good, and God thinks it’s enough for my parents to have me, and if they don’t give me another daughter, it’s hard to have both ends of the world.”

That little face was so deep that even Gong Yu Mingxi couldn't help but feel happy.

Lingyu nodded his forehead: "But you can do it! Apart from feeling a little noisy, how have you been at home these past few days?"

Speaking of whether it was a good thing or not, Li Chu nodded: "My grandparents like me very much, after all, I am so good! My eldest uncle is at the border and can't see me. My eldest uncle is very kind and treats me very well."

Ling Yu thought to herself, isn't that good? Your father and your eldest uncle are brothers from the same mother. Your father is a civil servant and there is no conflict of interest with your eldest uncle. Your eldest uncle's status as the heir apparent is stable. Even if your aunt mother-in-law does not sincerely wait for you to be well, she still has to treat her birth talent as a good person. When you return to the father-in-law's house for the second time, you will be taken care of as your own!

However, despite his young age, Li Chu is very clever. Since he said that, I think the wife of the prince who came to the Duke's Mansion really felt sorry for him.

Fusu asked him: "Are you not just having fun these days? Are you neglecting your studies? Do you insist on practicing every day?"

Li Chu heard this and immediately made a bitter face: "Brother Fusu, there is still a holiday for the elementary school in the Duke's Mansion, so I can't rest for a few days? Well, can I catch up on my homework these days? But I don't have the ability to practice. delay!"

Looking at his pitiful look, Fusu couldn't bear to say anything more. He was a real child, and compared to other children of the same age, he was actually quite self-disciplined.

In this way, Li Chu stayed at Yan's house.

The Duke of Qi's Mansion actually came to pick him up twice, but Li Chu refused to go home and only said he wanted to study at the Yan family. The old lady knew that he was practicing with the Yan family's boy, and she was really afraid of delaying his practice, so she didn't send anyone again. He only said that he must return to the Duke's mansion during the New Year.

In the past few days, the Yan family has also received gifts in return from various families. The return gift from Prince Yu's Palace was very heavy. It was Xin Ruoxia who helped his uncle Wang send it. After sending the gifts, he was not in a hurry to go back, but took Yan Ruoxia with him. The siblings and Li Chu went to visit the capital.

Perhaps because it was approaching the New Year, the entire capital city was in a state of extreme excitement. There was a huge flow of people on the streets and people coming and going in various shops.

When they see interesting things, the brothers and sisters don't hesitate to spend money. When they return to Linjiang, they have to bring some gifts for the whole family, old and young, right?

In addition to shopping, I also went to several famous restaurants in Chaoge City and tasted a lot of delicious food. Even though the food industry in Daxia was desolate, there were still some good local dishes.

Qi Xun also felt that there were probably the most wealthy and powerful people in the capital in the whole of Daxia. Even ordinary people had far less purchasing power than other places. If the fifth aunt Qin opened a dim sum shop in the capital, what would happen? Can't you make a lot of money?

Of course, Fifth Aunt's dim sum shop is now one of the best in Linjiang County, and its business is extremely good.

If the fifth uncle can pass the Jinshi examination and be lucky enough to stay in Beijing as an official, the fifth aunt will definitely follow him to the capital, and then he will be able to open a snack shop in the nearby city.

Last time, in order to repay the feeling of enlightenment, Xin Ruoxia gave Qixun a shop in a good location. The Qixun brothers and sisters only came to Beijing this time to accompany their parents for the New Year and would not stay long, so now they are still in Xin Ruoxia's father-in-law's house. The business is going on, and only monthly rent is paid to the Yan family. Although collecting rent is a stable source of income, how can it be as cost-effective as running a business with your own family? That shop is actually suitable for a dim sum shop.

Qixun wasn't very interested in the dim sum in the Beijing dim sum shops. Even the most famous one, after eating it, she felt it was just average. Only the snack with meat sandwich made her never get tired of eating it. For this reason, she also consulted her grandma carefully, and her grandma did the meat sandwich very authentically.
