    Fearing that Zhen Yingjia would keep a close eye on him, the Lin family had no contact with Liu Xing since they left for Suzhou.  Lin Ruhai didn't know anything about the progress in Yangzhou.  But the Lin family was attracting the attention of the Zhen family, and Liu Xing was taking Su Lan to Beijing, but it was an appointment made by the Lin family before leaving.  Thinking that there is no news at this moment, it is good news.

    The scenery of Panxiang Temple is beautiful, and its vegetarian dishes are also very famous. The Lin family and his entourage returned home happily.  After returning to the old house, we began to prepare for the New Year's Eve sacrifices and other matters.

    Within a few days, it was the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month, and the whole family had changed into brand-new clothes. Even the maids and servants below had all had new clothes this year. The whole Lin family was full of joy.

    At this time in the previous life, Jia Min and Brother You had passed away, Daiyu had newly entered the capital, and Lin Ruhai stayed alone in Yangzhou. For Daiyu, she never had a peaceful and happy New Year since then. Therefore, Daiyu's love for her  I attach great importance to this year¡¯s New Year¡¯s Day and am grateful for it.

    But in the afternoon, Daiyu took Lin You and started setting off small firecrackers in the yard.  In order to be lively, Daiyu prepared a lot of firecrackers this year. Not only did the masters set them off, but they also gave some to the servants.  During the Chinese New Year, it should be lively and lively like this, but the big tanks in each courtyard will be filled with water in advance to prevent water leakage.

    Before dinner, we chose an auspicious time to open an ancestral hall to worship our ancestors, and many tribesmen came.  However, according to the rules of this era, only men could enter the ancestral hall to worship, and the female relatives could only talk in the back house.  According to custom, people should stay at home to watch the New Year's Eve on New Year's Eve. Therefore, although many tribesmen came today, they all went home after the sacrifice.  Dinner is for the family to stay together.

    The dinner was naturally very sumptuous, with four members of the family at one table and four aunts at the bottom. The servants in each courtyard also enjoyed the dishes.

    After dinner, it¡¯s time to stay up late on New Year¡¯s Eve.  If you ask Daiyu, the Lin family's health is not very good, but it is good to go to bed early, but it is just a day to stay like this once a year, so she is happy.

    When the time was approaching, Daiyu ordered the boys to move the big firecrackers to the yard. Jia Min stood on the porch from a distance and said to Daiyu: "Yu'er, come here quickly, I'll scare you carefully."

    Lin You is a little kid and said: "Sister is not afraid, and Brother You is not afraid either."

    Jia Min tapped her youngest son's forehead again and said, "But I set off a few small firecrackers this afternoon, so you can handle it. This big firecracker is different from the small ones you set off. Don't cry if you are scared."

    For the sake of safety, firecrackers are lit not with fire sticks, but with long incense.  The boy at the end said: "Pay attention, click and click." At the same time, he stretched out his hand far away and burned the incense to reach the fuse.

    The boy lit the fuse and ran away quickly.  The fuse is very flammable, making a sizzling sound of burning powder and sparks popping up at night.  Lin You covered his ears and reached his neck, fearing that he could not see.

    Then there was a loud bang, firecrackers exploded into the sky, smoke billowed in the yard, and there was a smell of sulfur. Lin You was so scared that he shrank into Jia Min's arms.  When Lin Ruhai saw this scene, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

    Daiyu seemed not to be frightened. Lin Ruhai and his wife were a little surprised. Their daughter was too courageous.  "Yu'er, are you really not afraid?"

    Daiyu looked back at her mother and said, "It's funny, isn't it said that firecrackers scare the Nian beast? I'm not the Nian beast, I'm afraid of the Nian beast."

    Daiyu took the lit incense from the boy's hand and lit a big firecracker herself.  The fuse burned out and the firecracker exploded. There was only a loud noise and thick smoke billowing, which was a bit choking.

    The smell is not very pleasant, but Daiyu is somewhat familiar with it.  In the previous life, let alone setting off firecrackers, I would just stay away and cover my ears while watching others set off firecrackers.  In the years since she traveled to later generations, Daiyu has learned a lot. Although she has never been on a real battlefield, the exercises were carried out with live ammunition, and she is fully prepared to go to the battlefield at any time.

    At that time, it was common for Daiyu to shoot and target. She also loaded a howitzer and fired cannons with her comrades.  With the rapid development of weapon technology in later generations, the pollution from howitzers was not as bad as the firecrackers at the moment, but the smell of gunpowder in the air made Daiyu feel familiar and moved.  Thanks to those few years, I learned this skill and saved my younger brother when I came back.

    After wearing it back, Daiyu stopped crying, but she shed tears at this moment.  "It's a big festival, why are Yu'er crying? But are you scared? No timid boy would dare to let go of such a big firecracker. Yu'er, don't play with that shit in the future." Jia Min babbled,  While wiping Daiyu's tears.

    Daiyu was even more moved, how wonderful it was. She had had enough of the wind and frost swords in her previous life, and she loved the smell of fireworks now.  Her mother's nagging is also cute: "Yu'er is not afraid, she is just blinded by the smoke." Daiyu said.

    Jia Min¡¯s heart is full of emotions.  From now on, when the old slave gets into trouble, he must bring every year's account book with him.  " Regardless of whether the Suzhou Chronicle was prepared by the master in advance or the girl's own idea, Wang Zhuangtou knew that he couldn't be fooled this time, so he immediately admitted his mistake and begged for mercy.

    "Just now, Wang Zhuangtou said that the tenants on the farm are getting old and they should be replaced, otherwise the harvest will be affected. The manager of the farm is getting old and is always confused, so he should be replaced," Daiyu said.

    Wang Zhuangtou wanted to beg again, but Daiyu just said lightly: "On New Year's Day, I didn't want to be popular, so I just revealed the matter lightly. Does Wang Zhuangtou really want to argue?"  Jade didn't raise her voice or get angry. Even at such a young age, she made you feel intimidating.

    Wang Zhuangtou finally stopped talking, kowtowed and retreated.

    Now everyone knows how powerful this big girl is, and no one dares to fool her.  In previous years, it was okay for the village head, manager, and shopkeeper who did not commit too much corruption. Although they did engage in some corruption, their books were smoothed out.

    There are also some who are too greedy and have discrepancies in their accounts.

    Because of the big festival, Daiyu really didn't want to punish people heavily, so she took a few more account books and said: "This is the account book you handed in in previous years. It is also quite perfunctory. I think it was made up later, and my memory is bad."  No, I made up for it. If anyone feels that they are getting older and keep miscounting accounts, please resign. If there are so many people today, I'm sorry, you can come to me privately to find your wife in a few days."

    These few words made the people below look at each other in shock. Only then did everyone remember that when the girl was in Yangzhou, she had already sent away many people.  It's just that the people who can be placed in Suzhou to take care of the property are all trusted by the family owner. Because of this, some people are slack and some are greedy.

    Fortunately, the people in charge of these industries in the Lin family still have a bottom line, and there are no major incidents like bullying others or forcing people to die.  So Daiyu only punished a few people who were too greedy or too domineering in front of tenants and clerks.  As for those who coveted but didn't get much, Daiyu let them go.

    "When the water is clear, there will be no fish. Daiyu will not let the people below work hard all year round, but not let them catch a single coin; but she cannot be fooled easily.

    During this trip to Suzhou, it was enough to pick a few excessive ones to scare the monkeys.  From then on, the reputation of the eldest daughter of the Lin family for being powerful spread not only among the clan members, but also among the village heads and shopkeepers.

    Although she didn¡¯t do needlework during the first month of the year, Daiyu didn¡¯t have much free time, but she took the time to clean up the property in Suzhou, and the Lin family received another post.

    Yao Guoan, the governor of Jiangnan, posted a message inviting the Lin family to a drink.

    Jiangnan officials were either actively or passively involved in the illegal salt case, and they didn¡¯t know whether the dinner at Governor Yao¡¯s house was an ordinary banquet or a Hongmen banquet.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
