hello daiyu

As the twelfth lunar month is busy, the annual gifts of distant relatives and friends have to be sent early before the Spring Festival.Close relatives and friends will send them a few days before the Spring Festival.The closer the Spring Festival is, the more people give gifts, and the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival gradually becomes stronger.People on the road came and went, holding gift boxes and carrying gifts, those from lower levels who gave gifts to their superiors came to the door in person, relatives from rich and noble families sent their own managers to give gifts to each other, and poor families brought gifts to the door by themselves..... ..

Because Daiyu is already proficient and there are old rules to be found, this year's Lin Mansion's annual ceremonies will be taken care of by Daiyu, and because she will get married next year, even if she doesn't need to be the director of the Rongguo Mansion, these things will be fine. To know up.

Sitting in the small hall behind Xianzhi Hall, Daiyu took gift slips one by one, and they were gift slips sent by relatives and friends. As usual, just return the gift according to the old rules.But when she saw one of them, she paused, and frowned slightly, "Xia Ying, go and ask what's going on with the royal family of Dolores County."

Xia Ying agreed to go, and when she was young, she reported back: "It was delivered just now, and several carts were packed in a random manner, and they were pulled to the door. The people in Luoli County's royal residence didn't drink tea, and left after paying the gift."

Daiyu tilted her head slightly to think, the relationship between Dolores County Prince's Mansion and Lin's Mansion has never been close, and there was no New Year's gift in previous years, but this year not only did it, but according to the gift list, such a gift is heavy.Daiyu thought about it.I still decided to show Jia Min.

Instruct the steward to collect the other gift lists, and put all the gifts in the book and put them in the warehouse.Daiyu then went to Jia Min's room. Jia Min was talking to Nanny Zhang. When she saw Daiyu coming, she asked Daiyu, "Yu'er, is there something wrong?" Went to the back hall to receive the gift list.Now that my daughter came here with a distressed expression on her face, I was afraid that it was a gift from someone, which made my daughter find it difficult to make a decision, so I came to ask her for a question.

Daiyu bowed to Jia Min and called Madam Zhang before she sat down on the kang.Ask Chun Que to hand the list to Jia Min.

Jia Min took a look and frowned, Daiyu didn't know, didn't she know?The last time the matter of courtship from the three families came to the imperial court, it was easy to cover it up.Now the prince of the county is still unwilling to give up?What is Baba's doing with such a generous gift?You must know that Daiyu has already been married by the emperor.

In particular, it meant that the portion given to Daiyu was extraordinarily heavy, and Jia Min couldn't help but think about it.It's just that Jia Min didn't want Daiyu to know that there was still this kind of lawsuit, so she smiled and said, "You can put it down. In the past, our family had no contact with the prince's family. Now that the prince's gift is so generous, it is necessary for me to return the gift myself. , you don’t have to worry about it.”

Daiyu knew in her heart that there might be some reason for this, but she only thought it was the county prince's mansion to make friends with the Lin family. Seeing Jia Min say so again, she raised her hand.He had a conversation with Jia Min again, and went back after having lunch in Jia Min's room.

When Lin Ruhai came back in the evening, Jia Min told him about the gift list.Lin Ruhai pondered for a while and said: "Just prepare a similar return gift and send it over. Leave the rest alone!" Lin Ruhai said this to Jia Min, but turned around and went to the study to write notes.This matter still needs to be mentioned to the emperor, although the emperor believes that he will not make friends with Prince Li, but he can't help that Prince Li is thick-skinned, and he makes close friends every once in a while. If there are too many times, the emperor will become suspicious .

"My lord, the gift for Miss Lin has already been sent among the New Year's gifts from the mansion, and the Lin mansion has already accepted it." On the attic of the alley house.Xiao Zhang stood beside Li Jun and said respectfully. Seeing that Li Jun nodded slightly and did not speak, he continued, "My lord, it will be New Year's Eve in a few days. The princess sent a letter to let you go back early."

There is also a reason why Xiao Zhang called Li Jun's son, because Li Jun ordered him to be called the prince in the palace; in other places, let Xiao Zhang call him son.

"Understood." After a long time, Li Jun replied lightly, and did not say when to go back.

"My lord, it's very windy here, let's go in!" For a long time, Xiao Zhang couldn't help but said, the lord has been blowing here for a long time.

Li Jun didn't answer, but still looked in the direction of the Lin Mansion. In his sight, there were vague figures walking around in the Lin Mansion's garden, which was extremely lively.By this time Daiyu had already eaten lunch and returned to her own Wuzhuju.After a long time, Li Jun exhaled heavily, turned back to the room with a blank expression on his face.

On the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, the stove is sacrificed, and after the stove is sacrificed, it will be New Year's Eve in a blink of an eye.

Before and after the Spring Festival, the emperor will host a banquet to entertain officials and their wives, bestow the word "Fu", give "every year safe" purses and other items, and invite them to watch a big show to show the emperor's kindness.

On this day, Jia Min wore high-grade court clothes, sat in a sedan chair, went to the palace with Jia's family and others to congratulate and salute.Salute according to the rules and accept the gift for a while.

This year, there is no such thing as the worst relatives sitting together for dinner, and the whole family eats happily.Doudou was finally able to have a seat, and it was so happy that it squeaked.This year, it is smart enough not to ask Daiyu to bring food for it, but only pester Lin Ruhai to act like a baby.In Lin Ruhai's eyes, Doudou is like his favorite "little son", and he cheerfully helps him pick this and that. Doudou just needs to sit next to the small plate and eat happily.

It's just that Daiyu couldn't help being mischievous and poured a spoonful of spicy peppers on Doudou's dish when Doudou wasn't paying attention. Doudou, who had been wary of Daiyu for a long time, found out and squeaked at Daiyu, blowing her feet. Beard stared, which added a lot of jokes, and the New Year's Eve reunion dinner ended with bursts of laughter.

On New Year's Eve, we stayed in the warm pavilion of Yunxiang Pavilion. The maids and women cleaned up the house, put down the thick door curtain, burned the earth dragon, and put a few charcoal basins, burning silver charcoal inside, without a trace of fireworks. The room is as warm as a spring day; there are four seats, one next to each seat, and three stoves and vases on the table, burning the royal lily palace incense; it is eight inches long, four or five inches wide, two or three Inch-high, the small bonsai dotted with rocks are all seasonal flowers.There are also small foreign lacquer tea trays with ten brocade small teacups from old kilns, and small old kiln vases of various colors.All are dotted with flowers such as "Suihan Sanyou" and "Yutang Fugui".

Because there is a large open space between Luomei Pavilion and Yunxiang Pavilion, a plum blossom is planted, and when the flowers bloom, people can be invited to enjoy the flowers, so a warm pavilion was built in Yunxiang Pavilion.Besides, there is a small lake next to the Yunxiang Pavilion, but it is only about ten acres in size, and a lake of lotus is planted. It is located in the Yunxiang Pavilion, which is just right for enjoying plum blossoms in winter.Xia Shanghe.Although there is only a piece of remnant lotus left now, because the venue is empty, a small stage was set up, and a group of small operas were invited to sing lively.There were also boys who held all kinds of fireworks and set them off by the lake.The sound of opera singing, gongs and drums, fireworks and explosions... resounded all over the place.With the cheers of the people, they joined the noisy New Year's Eve vigil in the capital.

At the fifth drum of the next day, Jia Min changed into court clothes again, went to the palace to congratulate, and also wished Yuanchun and Qianqiu. After receiving the banquet, he came back and offered sacrifices to his ancestors. After receiving the ceremony, he finished.Just change clothes and rest.Daiyu manages the government affairs at home;

On the second day of junior high school, the family went back to Jia's mansion to pay New Year's greetings, and Daiyu found an opportunity to get together with Baoyu.On the fifth day of the new year, the Yang family and other relatives and friends came to pay New Year's greetings. Because of the marriage, the two families had a lot of separation.Fortunately, now that Yang Chun and the Princess Giving the Marriage, Mrs. Yang's mood is also smooth, and the two families have resumed walking.On this day, the family came to have a drink and pay New Year's greetings.

Yang Wanru has also been detained by Mrs. Yang to prevent her from coming out, and she finally managed to come out today.Seeing Daiyu, Yang Wanru was a little shy. At the beginning, she was arguing to be Daiyu's sister-in-law, but she was scolded by Mrs. Yang. After being locked up for so many days, she calmed down and knew that she was reckless.Fortunately, she knew that Daiyu was not the kind of talkative person.The two are on good terms again, and when they saw that their father, elder brother and mother were coming over, they also quarreled and promised Mrs. Yang again and again.No more messing around, and then I was able to come out.

Because of the New Year, she wore a long coat of garnet red satin embroidered with folded branches and plum blossoms, a horse face skirt embroidered with carmine cloud pattern, a set of ruby ​​headdress, and a big red feather gauze cloak. Her little face was blushing, matching the festive atmosphere.

"Sister Lin, I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you." Yang Wanru took Daiyu's hand and said anxiously, seeing that everyone didn't pay attention, she wanted to pull Daiyu to a corner to whisper.

It's just that the Lin family only has one daughter, Daiyu, and Daiyu has been so busy these days that she has to entertain all the ladies today. Seeing that Yang Wanru wanted to talk to her, she really didn't have time, so she had to comfort her for a while, and greeted her again. After sitting down with the other ladies, I took the time to say a few words to Yang Wanru, "Are you okay at home? I should have come to visit you, but you also know that Aunt Yang said that you are embroidering the dowry at home now. It’s not easy to bother.” After Yang Chunhe was married to the princess, Yang Wanru also made a marriage, because of Yang Chunhe’s relationship, Yang Wanru’s husband’s family is not low, and he is the descendant of the official secretary’s family. son.

How could Yang Wanru blame Daiyu, on the contrary, she felt embarrassed. She had been friends with Daiyu for so many years, and she knew that Daiyu treats people with sincerity and treats her with sincerity, so she would never break this friendship.Due to being grounded by Mrs. Yang, although she couldn't come to visit, she spent several days at home with Mrs. Yang's foreign kung fu, and finally got Mrs. Yang's consent to let the two communicate by letter.

Seeing that Daiyu mentioned her marriage, she was quite bold when she talked about it on weekdays, but when she really mentioned it, her pretty face was flushed, she fanned her long eyelashes and said in a low voice: "What's wrong with me, You know my mother, just that temper, but you don’t have to say it to me. You know mine, and I know you, so there is no need to be polite between us.” She is now embarrassed to mention the marriage , only vaguely responded to a few words.

Seeing her shyness, Daiyu smiled and said, "Now you know how to be shy, but you were very bold back then. You told me what your future husband-in-law is going to be like, have you seen it?"

Yang Wanru looked at the other people, and seeing that no one was paying attention to them, she put her mouth next to Daiyu's ear and whispered, "I've seen it before. She looks good, and she looks good." Although she was a little shy, she still talked to Daiyu said.

Daiyu was happy for her immediately, and teased her a few more times, seeing that she was shy and refused to say any more, so she gave up.The two stopped whispering, and sat among a bunch of young ladies to talk.When the two talked, Yang Wanru was no longer shy, just like a bird out of the cage, chirping non-stop.

Just as she was talking, the curtain was lifted suddenly, and Daiyu glanced casually, only to find that a concubine's gaze was staring at her, and that gaze contained longing and pain, and it was Yang Chunhe.Daiyu's heart trembled, before she finished her thoughts, the curtain fell, Daiyu regained her composure, smiled and continued talking to the ladies, keeping the scene just now in her heart.

In the following ten days, the family either invited people to have New Year's wine or was invited to have New Year's wine, and finally finished the Spring Festival busy.
