Transmigration: From Farmer To Empress

Chapter 218 Robbery of the Lu family (6)

Back at home, Fei'er was still sleeping soundly. Caiwei looked at her sister's sleeping face and felt a little guilty in her heart. She decided to take her sister to the market after dawn to give her sister more food. Buy some fresh gadgets as compensation for knocking her out!

...

Early in the morning, a burst of loud firecrackers woke up Caiwei. Today is the 29th of the twelfth lunar month. Many people also count this day as the Chinese New Year. Therefore, the quiet Qingyun Town soon became lively, with the first The ones setting off firecrackers soon had a second and third one...

It was impossible to sleep for a while. Caiwei opened her eyes and saw that Caifei had also woken up and was rubbing her eyes and breathing.

"Morning, eldest sister!"

"Morning, Faile!"

Seeing the gentle and kind smile on her sister's face, Caiwei couldn't help but feel guilty, so she said in a flattering way: "Fei'er, I'm twenty-nine today. I'll take you to the market later and buy you some rare things." Something to play with."

Caifei was not in the mood to go shopping. She had been upset all night because her restaurant was smashed. She didn't know how she fell asleep. How could she still be in the mood to go shopping?

So, he refused and said, "I still have some unfinished work that needs to be finished before the end of the year, so I won't go with my eldest sister. My eldest sister will take Chunliu or Wen'er with me. I'll go to the garment shop by the way." Let's bring back the custom-made clothes, and Sister Cailian's clothes are also made today, sister, please bring them back too!"

Seeing that she was not interested, Caiwei had no choice but to give it up. She got up, washed and packed up, and went to the main room.

Mu Zhongqing and Mrs. Du had already gotten up and were sitting in the main room chatting. Neither of them looked very good. There were thick dark circles under their eyes. It must have been affected by the smashing of the restaurant at home and they did not sleep well at night. stop.

"Dad, mom, morning!"

Caiwei greeted with a smile and sat in her chair.

"Weier, morning!"

As soon as Mu Zhongqing saw his daughter, he quickly calmed down his anxious look, replaced it with a relaxed look, and said lovingly: "Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

Caiwei said with a smile: "I've had enough sleep. I want to go to the market later and buy some new year's goods so that I can go back to Mu Village to celebrate the New Year tomorrow."

Mu Zhongqing sighed and said, "Something happened to our restaurant. We have had no income these days, and we still have to pay the workers. How can we have so much money to buy new year's goods? We only picked up the things we can use." Just buy a few less items, and I don’t think your grandparents will blame you!"

Du Shi also said: "Weier, whenever you do something within your ability, don't make things difficult for yourself."

Just as he was talking, Chunliu came in and said, "Master and Madam, a guest came outside and asked to see the Master, Madam and the eldest lady."

Mu Zhongqing was surprised and said: "Who can come to visit us during the Chinese New Year?"

Chunliu said: "The man didn't say anything. He only said that he was here to pay New Year's greetings and New Year gifts to the master, his wife and the eldest lady. He is waiting outside now."

Caiwei thought for a while, but couldn't figure out who was coming to see them, so she ordered Chunliu to invite the person into the house.

After Chunliu went out, Wen'er and Wu'er happened to walk in. Hearing this, Wen'er said excitedly: "Could it be the eldest sister's master who is here?"

With that said, he turned to Caiwei and begged: "Sister, if it is really your master who is here, please say a few good words for me and let your master accept me too!"

Caiwei trembled and loudly asserted: "It's definitely not him!"

Wu'er was very dissatisfied with her eldest sister's attitude and muttered: "Have you seen it? How do you know it's not him?"

Caiwei gritted her teeth secretly. If that evildoer really came to her door, she would never let him go!

Just as he was thinking about it, Chunliu had already walked in with someone. Fortunately, it was not that monster. The person was a man in his thirties or forties. He was wearing an indigo blue muslin robe. He looked polite and courteous, like everyone else. Behind him were several young men in green clothes, holding items such as silks and brocade boxes in their hands. They bowed their heads humbly and stood behind the man.

Before Mu Zhongqing could speak, the man had already taken a step forward, bowed respectfully to them, and said, "This villain is the slave of Mr. Huo of the Huo family in the capital. On the order of my son, I have come to give Mu Zhongqing a big gift." The master is giving me a New Year's gift. My young master has said that a mere gift is not respectful. I hope Mr. Mu won't find it too simple!"

As he spoke, he waved and the boy behind him came forward and handed over the gifts one by one.

Good fellow, what the boys brought up were two pieces of woven brocade silk and satin, two pieces of soft smoked gauze, one piece of century-old ginseng, and one piece each of black fox, snow wolf, red fox, and sable skins. ; Two jars of thirty-year tribute wine; two ten-pound seabass from Qiongzhou, a basket of crabs, two smoked chickens, and two roast geese; a roasted lamb from Liaodan Kingdom...

Mu Zhongqing and his wife looked at each other with astonishment in their eyes. They had only met Mr. Huo on a casual basis, not even close to each other. Why was he so diligent in giving such a heavy gift?

This is not normal!

The man finished reading out the long gift list and said to Mu Zhongqing respectfully: "The gift has been delivered. Please take a look at it, Mr. Mu and Mrs. Mu. If there is nothing else to do, I will take my leave."

After saying that, he glanced at Caiwei and left.

As soon as the person left, Mu Zhongqing immediately turned around, looked at his daughter critically, and hesitated to speak. Du Shi also looked at her daughter with twinkling eyes for a while, and then said, "Weier, come with your mother."

With that said, he walked towards the inner room.

Caiwei knew that she had been misunderstood by her parents, and she couldn't help but have a headache. Brother Huo also felt the same. Why did he give such a heavy gift for nothing? It was really harmful for her to be suspected and questioned by her parents!
