The cannon fodder of fast wear, she chooses to farm

Grandmother banged on the door angrily:
"Come here! Open the door! I'm going to find you girls!"

"The girl has been on the road for a day, and she has already rested. The housekeeper ordered that it would disturb the girl's rest, and all the courtyards will be tied down in advance."

Grandmother had to go back to the house angrily.

The next day, she ate breakfast.

"Come here! Take me to see your girls."

"The girl went out to do errands, and I don't know when she will come back."

"..."

On the third day, she went to find Xu Yin without breakfast.

The gatekeeper of Longxiangyuan stretched out her hand and stopped her: "Sorry, the girl is chanting scriptures to the late Mrs. Madam, and there are no outsiders."

"..."

Day [-]...

Grandmother couldn't bear it anymore, rushed out of the guest house, and wanted to ask Xu Yin aggressively, what was the purpose of leaving her alone like this.

On the way, I met the butler, who smiled and said that he had prepared a load of mid-autumn festival gifts for her, and asked her if she needed a carriage. There was an empty carriage parked outside the house right now.

As soon as she heard that her niece had prepared a gift, grandma immediately thought of the silk and satin and nourishing herbs that her second brother had sent to her natal home every year.There is not much difference between silk and silver.

"I'm going back to Fengcheng now! Originally, I wanted to say goodbye to Yinyin. After being away for so many days, it's time to go back. Since Yinyin is so busy, I won't bother her, and I have to ask the housekeeper to help me with my things. Get into the carriage."

"It's natural."

The butler asked the servant to help her carry a heavy burden tied with wedding silk to the door and onto the carriage.

Passers-by looked enviously at grandma several times, it is really lucky to be a relative of the Xu family.

"Which relative of Xu's mansion is this? Did you come empty-handed when you came here a few days ago?"

"No, eat and drink for a few days, and bring back a load of festival gifts. At best, it's visiting relatives, but at worst, it's autumn wind!"

"Oh, why don't we have such rich relatives!"

When grandma got into the car, the steward and the driver reported the approximate address of Sun's family in Fengcheng, and waved to grandma, wishing her a smooth journey with a smile.

Grandmother waited for the carriage to go out for a while, trying to untie the wedding silk knot, open the gift bag, and see what kind of gift the Xu family gave her family.

Unexpectedly, the knot of the silk silk was tightly tied and difficult to untie. Not only did it tie the burden tightly, but it was impossible to untie it, and the untie became tighter and tighter, so he had to give up at last.

But she had a guess in her heart, the gift from the Xu manor could not escape a few things: cloth brocade, nourishing medicinal herbs.

Therefore, the mood along the way is particularly good.

"Sikong, she really didn't come back after she left! How did you do it? You were able to tie the wedding silk so tightly?"

The young servant would go to the gate of the mansion every once in a while to have a look. He didn't see grandma's carriage returning until dark. He guessed that he had already left the city, so he ran happily to ask the accountant for advice.

The housekeeper happened to be there too, upon hearing this, he looked at Sikong curiously: "What kind of knot did you tie? Can't you untie it without scissors?"

"Knot."

"..."

One sentence will kill the world!

The old housekeeper believed more and more that the scar on this kid's face was cut with a knife. Seeing this casual tone, he really deserved a beating.

The boy expressed some regret: "I didn't see her expression when she unpacked the burden and saw the boxing ceremony. It must be very funny."

Thinking about that scene, the old housekeeper also felt amused, and shook his head with a broken smile: "Young lady can figure it out!"

In Longxiang Garden, Zi Yuan and Hong Qian, the two maids in charge of carrying the load, were also pursing their lips and giggling.

Xu Yin looked up at them, and said helplessly, "Haven't you laughed enough?"

"Pfft ha ha ha... girl, I can't hold back anymore, why would you think of giving her those..."

"I can't help it, girl, I have a lot of money to spend on right now." Xu Yin spread her hands.

There is still half a sentence left unsaid: I would rather give the servants in the mansion a monthly increase than give grandma.

"Speaking of which, the new accountant has a scary face, but he has a really kind heart." Ziyuan said, "I know that the girl is worried about the difficulty of tying the wedding silk knot tightly, so she stood up to help without saying a word. gone."

Xu Yin also felt that although the new accountant was timid and didn't dare to speak loudly, she didn't expect to have some skills to tie the knots of wedding silk as tight as strings.

At first, she was still thinking about getting some 502 glue to seal the lid of the litter box, but that would easily arouse her grandma's suspicion.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Tomorrow Zhongqiu, because I want to honor my parents, I won't put up lanterns and festoons. I will give each of you an extra month's money as a holiday benefit!"

"Thank you girl!"

……

On that side, grandma was tired all the way, but because she was full of joy, she didn't feel tired.

Finally back home in Fengcheng, she couldn't wait to go home and unpack the burden.

But he was chased by the coachman to ask for the fare.

Grandmother was stunned: "Isn't it the carriage hired by the Xu family? They didn't pay for it?"

"It was the steward of Xu's mansion who asked me to wait at the gate of the mansion, saying that there might be business, so I stopped there. You came up without asking at the time, what's the matter? You want to lose the fare now?"

Grandmother: "..."

He secretly scolded the housekeeper of Xu's house for not being a man.

But no matter how much you scold, the fare must be paid.

Grandmother suffered from being dumb, and she was in a bad mood after being happy all the way.

Fortunately, there is still a heavy burden of ceremony.

After entering the door, he couldn't wait to call his son to fetch the scissors.

"Your cousin knows a little bit about people and the world. She stayed with me for a few days and gave me a load of boxing gifts. Later, I will take a few bolts of silk and satin to the brocade shop to exchange for silver, so you can pay for the exam."

As soon as the words fell, the wedding silk tied with the burden was cut, and the lid of the burden was lifted, revealing the etiquette inside.

Grandmother turned pale with shock: "Ahhh—what is this?"

Xu Yin was ashamed, so she kept the gift list from her married sister's house since her father's marriage, bound it into a book, and gave it to grandma as this year's mid-autumn festival gift.

Her father has been in Xu's family for 15 years, and there are six festivals a year to give gifts to her parents' family, namely Shangyuan, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Chongyang Festival, Laba Festival, and Spring Festival.

In addition to Chongyang, the other five festivals will also prepare a gift for the married sister.

Although not as valuable as those given to the elders, there are meats such as ham and elbows, as well as food for the occasion, such as rice dumplings for the Dragon Boat Festival, moon cakes for Mid-Autumn Festival, sweet porridge for Laba, etc. Compared with the etiquette of visiting relatives and friends in small households , obviously much richer.

In addition, when grandma, grandpa, and Sun Zhiqian were on their tenth birthdays, he would ask someone to prepare a congratulatory gift and send it to Fengcheng.

It can be said that apart from not giving money directly, the etiquette is quite comprehensive.

It took Xu Yin a day to sort out the gift lists that had been kept over the years with the maids.

Some of them were grayed and yellowed due to their age, and the housekeeper specially asked someone to frame them.

In this way, it will appear thick, and the burden will be heavy.
