When Mrs. Zhang was four months pregnant, it was Chinese New Year. The first few years when Jia She came to this world were spent in Jinling. At that time, she had to keep a filial piety for her grandmother. Later, because of the imperial examination, the few years were very simple. This time, with a virtuous wife by his side, and the child in his wife's womb staying peacefully in his wife's womb, Jia She felt that this year passed extremely smoothly.

Jia Zheng also felt that this year was pretty good. Although he had his elder brother's jewels in front of him, he felt that his knowledge was not inferior to his elder brother's. Jia Zheng's only regret was that he could not marry Wang's sister immediately and have a son.

"Brother, I saw the gift you gave me. It's so beautiful." Jia Min now has the temperament of a lady, and she usually walks without running, and starts to walk slowly.

"Do you like it?" What Jia Amnesty gave Jia Min was a porcelain made in the shape of a puppy. The puppy has various poses, lying on its stomach, waving, plus a little modern cartoon element, very cute .

"I like it." Jia Min nodded affirmatively.

"I also gave it to my mother. You can go to see it at her mother's place. Mother's has all kinds of birds." Jia's mother likes birds most, which can be regarded as her favorite.

"Well, then I'll go and have a look." Jia Min left immediately, and it was obvious that she really liked these animal porcelains.

"Husband, the presents are all the same, nothing new." Mrs. Zhang rolled her eyes at Jia She, and she also received it, a whole set of cats, vivid and lifelike.

"Then what is the most innovative thing to give? Is it a gift? I think everyone is giving this kind of gift, and this kind is even less innovative." Jia Amnesty was a little speechless, and he is not a woman. It is the first time to think of giving this. The blessing of the second generation nephew, he likes figurines the most. When Jia She was a college student, he dragged him out together to line up to buy limited edition figurines.

"Yes yes yes" Mrs. Zhang didn't argue with Jia She, she was very happy in her heart, her brother and father were not as thoughtful as her husband.

"Have you prepared the annual gift for your father-in-law and mother-in-law?" Jia She asked.

"It's all ready, and my mother even showed me the list. They are all excellent things." Mrs. Zhang was amazed when she saw the list of New Year's gifts from Jia's mansion. It is enough for the family of an ordinary fourth-rank official to live for half a year. She is really worried whether her family can return such a generous annual gift.

"That's good, you can quietly prepare an annual gift for me, it doesn't need to be very expensive, just put your heart into it," Jia She said to Zhang Shi quietly.

Mrs. Zhang was a little surprised, but didn't say much. She just prepared quietly. The key to Jia Amnesty's private treasury was given to Mrs. Zhang by Mother Chun. When Mrs. Zhang was at her home, she was also in charge of the New Year ceremony It's not a big deal to prepare an annual gift.

The fourth prince, Tu Zhen, looked at the New Year gifts that others gave him, and they were all quite ordinary. After thinking about it, Tu Zhen thought, yes, those who can give him New Year gifts are some old foxes. It's neither flattering nor offending. Tu Zhen is extremely grateful to Jia Amnesty now. If it wasn't for his gift, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to make up the return gifts for these annual gifts.

"Fourth Master, the list of annual gifts is ready, please take a look." The fourth concubine walked over and handed the list of annual gifts to Tu Zhen.

Tu Zhen took the New Year's gift list and looked it over carefully. As in previous years, there were no mistakes, and there was nothing outstanding. He said, "Just arrange it according to your wishes."

"Yes" the fourth prince and concubine nodded and left.

"Princess, what's the matter?" Hongxiu, the eldest girl next to the Fourth Prince's concubine, asked when she saw the master in a daze.

The fourth concubine came back to her senses, smiled slightly, and said: "People in the world always like to spread rumors."

"Why do you say that?" Hongxiu was a little puzzled.

"My family has just received the imperial decree from the Holy Majesty. When it was said that the marriage was given to the fourth prince, there were rumors that the life of the fourth prince was difficult and he was not loved by the majesty. My mother's family was not prominent and could not subsidize the fourth prince too much. My father heard that When I arrived, I was very sad and gave me a lot of dowry, but I have been married to the fourth prince's mansion for so many years, but the fourth prince has never touched my dowry, but the fourth prince usually spends time outside, and it is said that he is quite generous on weekdays , I have never been shy about rewarding servants. I am in charge of the treasury in the mansion. Although it is not rich, it is definitely not thin, so I said, the rumors are really unbelievable." The fourth princess smiled and said.

"The servant also thinks that our mansion is not poor, although it is not very rich, but it is extraordinarily elegant." Hongxiu nodded.

"You're still young, I don't understand" Hongxiu was the big girl who was promoted later, the big girl who followed her refused to marry her to the Fourth Prince's Mansion as a dowry, and only said that she went home to get married, which is kind of ironic when you think about it.She has been to the fourth prince's study, the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, which ones are not priceless treasures in the market, these things on display must be genuine, otherwise it would be embarrassing to let the guests know that they are fake when receiving guests.

"Master Dai Quan, is this a gift for someone else? Why bother you to deliver it yourself?" The fourth princess asked when she saw Dai Quan.

"No, this is an annual gift from someone else to the fourth prince." Dai Quan secretly complained in his heart, why did he meet the fourth prince's concubine? The fourth prince said that he should not let outsiders know.

"Oh, then you go." The fourth prince's concubine winked, knowing that Dai Quan had obeyed the fourth prince's order, so she didn't make things difficult for him.

"Thank you, Fourth Prince, my servant will leave." Dai Quan hurriedly left.

"Princess Dai, this steward Dai is very interesting," Hongxiu said.

"It's quite interesting, and she's someone who can do things." Dai Quan just came to serve the fourth prince. At that time, she had just married into the fourth prince's mansion, and she was the steward of the fourth prince's inner courtyard when she first came in. It must be the reason behind sending him here. People have a lot of energy, at least they hold a lot of weight in the hearts of the Fourth Prince.

"Why didn't the princess stop Steward Dai just now, let's see what's inside?" Hongxiu was a little curious.

"You girl, you are still so curious. Your curiosity will kill you sooner or later. It is rare to be confused about some things. When the water is clear, there will be no fish. Only muddy water is the best way to survive. It's over with one eye closed." The fourth concubine was a little helpless, this girl is still not as good as the big girl who left before, but unfortunately, that girl was too clever in her tricks, and she was mistaken by her cleverness, thinking she was looking for another girl. Road, but don't want to be a dead end.

"Isn't there a princess here?" Hong Xiu smiled and didn't really care. "Princess, let's go to the plum garden to see the plum blossoms, they are so bright red, so beautiful."

"Okay, let's go."

"Fourth Master, the eldest son is here to bring you the New Year's gift." Dai Quan asked his servants to bring the New Year's gift in.

"He knows how to hide. He has been in Jinling for four years. He has been admitted to a scholar as an explanation. He is simply not enterprising." Tu Zhen was also a little speechless to Jia She, but now he really hopes that Jia She can enter the court. A person is not loved by his father, even if he has defected to His Highness the Crown Prince, but His Highness the Crown Prince has repeatedly made foolish tricks recently, and he is a little tired.In fact, he also understands His Royal Highness, the younger brother grows up like crazy, and his father has always been in good health. His Royal Highness's accession to the throne is far away, and impatience is inevitable.

"Hehe..." Dai Quan was also not easy to answer, and thought, the uncle is still taking a test for a scholar, if it were before the old Duke and his wife were around, when did the uncle read the books.

"Open the box and see what he has brought here." The Fourth Prince did not expect Dai Quan's reply, he was curious about the annual gift Jia She gave him.

Dai Quan opened the box, and the annual gifts inside were all ordinary things, neither shabby nor outstanding, just like his own princess.

"Hey, here's a box." Dai Quan opened the small box in the box, and a box of about 24 porcelain made of small animals appeared in front of the two of them.

"Bring it here and show me." A smile appeared on the corner of Tu Zhen's mouth, and he knew why the New Year's gift from that man was so casual.

"Yes, master." Dai Quan held the box and handed it to the fourth prince, "The eldest son is still so funny."

"Oh, he likes to think about these things." Tu Zhen looked at these animal porcelains, there were eight cats, eight dogs, and eight birds each, made into various shapes, very cute. "Okay, keep this, and give those things to the princess, and register them in the warehouse." Tu Zhen said, leaving aside those regular annual gifts.

"Then whose name was written in the album?" Dai Quan asked.

"Just tell the princess that a friend of the master sent it over," Tu Zhen said.

"Yes" Dai Quan nodded.

"Put this away for me." The fourth prince divided Jia Amnesty's gift into three, one of which was placed in the public treasury of the mansion, and the princess was in charge of the daily expenses of the mansion. Just put it in your own private treasury, and the last one is the capital used to win over officials and cultivate your own power.

After hearing the order from the fourth prince, Dai Quan put the things into the private treasury of the fourth prince.

"Which one sent these things, I can register as a concubine." The fourth prince and concubine knocked on the New Year's gift, and it was well-regulated, and those irregular things must have been put away.

"It was sent by one of my friends," Dai Quan replied.

"Which friend is it?"

"This master didn't say anything," Dai Quan said, lowering his head.

"Okay, the concubine knows, you can go now." The fourth princess smiled and said.

"Yes" Dai Quan left with a sigh of relief.

"Princess, how do you register this?" Hong Xiu pouted, her face full of dissatisfaction. "That Steward Dai must know who sent it."

"Okay, don't complain, just replace it with A, but the date must be marked clearly." The fourth concubine didn't feel much at all. She was raised by the family with the standards of concubines since she was a child, and she knew very well that these princes would definitely have secrets. Made friends with ministers, but this matter can't be announced, even the people next to the pillow can't reveal it. What surprised the fourth prince is that the fourth prince who is not favored by the Holy One actually has this idea. It seems that she wants to change. practice.
