Evening Shaohua in the Red House

Not long after, I saw Suyun leading two women in. They were not very well dressed, but they spoke and behaved quite well. The two first saluted Li Wan before presenting the gift list and said with a smile: "Today is Grandma's The joy of housewarming, it stands to reason that our family should come to congratulate in person, but our family does not have a grandma who is in charge of the house, and our uncle dare not be abrupt, so he sent us to send congratulations. They are all homely things, grandma, please don't dislike them."

After hearing this, Li Wan hurriedly said: "Your son has been taught by Mr. Shen for the past few years, we should thank you, how dare you take such a generous gift, we are new here, if there is anything wrong in the future, please also invite Haihan."

One of the women said with a smile: "Grandma is too polite. My brother is my uncle's disciple. Speaking of which, our two families are also relatives, and now we are neighbors. We should take care of each other."

The other woman also laughed and said: "They are not outsiders. If grandma has anything to do in the future, just tell her."

Their uncle has no heirs, and he can only rely on Jia Lan as an apprentice for his retirement in the future. Besides, how Shen Yi treats Jia Lan as a disciple is obvious to everyone in the Shen family. It is not an exaggeration to say that Jia Lan is the second master of the Shen family. , so the two were very respectful to Li Wan.

Li Wan was a little puzzled, but he didn't think too much about it. After a few words of politeness, he ordered Xiu Zhu to bring two purses to give to the two of them, and said: "I'm sorry to bother you two mothers, I've made this trip in the cold weather. Take some wine to eat to drive away the cold."

The smiles of the two women deepened, they thanked them for taking the purse, took another two sips of tea, and then got up to leave.

The women brought the things in. Li Wan took the post from Danju, opened it, and saw four bolts of palace silk, four bolts of foreign satin, a calligraphy and painting by a famous artist, and a four-season flower screen carved with red sandalwood lacquer. , four pots of wintersweet, four pots of narcissus, and four boxes of various snacks.

Danju looked at the gorgeous and exquisite fabrics, and couldn't help laughing: "These silks and satins are rare, they are all good materials that have been purchased this year, and some of them are very fresh in color and pattern, just right to make some clothes for grandma."

Li Wan handed the gift list to Dan Ju, and said: "The silks and satins brought back by Guanshi Liu are all piled up in the storeroom, and it is enough to make a hundred sets of clothes. You pick two of these and cut a few sets of winter clothes for Lan'er. Put the rest away first."

Danju agreed, and brought the maids to clean up.

Wutong held a pot of wintersweet and asked, "Grandma, where are these pots of flowers?"

Li Wan thought for a while and said: "Pick two pots of wintersweet, two pots of narcissus and put them on the huanghuali desk by the window of the Nuan Pavilion, and the rest

Sent to Laner's study. "

Indus responded, picked up a pot of flowers in one hand and went out.

Just as I was talking, two women from Yan Hui were sent over, came in and greeted Ann, and said, "Grandma greets my aunt and grandma, brother and sister, please hello. Grandma said: I should have come to congratulate you in person today, but it just happened to be the same." Our girl's birthday is really inseparable, please don't blame my aunt."

Li Wan asked someone to give up his seat for tea, and said with a smile: "Your grandma is too outsider, I have nothing to do here anyway, today is a good day for you girls, why bother you again."

The woman smiled and replied: "Our grandma said that she can't come in person. This gift is absolutely indispensable. I hope my aunt will not dislike it. I will invite my aunt to sit down after two days of free time."

Li Wan agreed and invited him to drink tea again.

The women laughed and said, "The slaves don't drink tea anymore, they still have to go to the old aunt's house."

After hearing this, Li Wan couldn't stay any longer, so he said, "Go back and say hello to your grandma for me. I'll go over when the light is off tomorrow. When you arrive at Gu's house, please say hello to me too." The two agreed to go.

Not long after the two left, Mrs. Gu sent a congratulatory gift.

Then Doctor Zhou's wife also sent a congratulatory gift, and Yinglian came to Japan to congratulate her, but Feng's old illness relapsed, so she had to give up and sent her mother-in-law to bring a congratulatory gift.

Suyun and the others were a little disappointed, and said: "Today is a good day for us to move to a new house, but it's just that none of the girls can come, and it's too deserted."

Li Wan laughed when he heard the words, and said: "It's the same with us being lively. You order the cook to clean up the other two tables of wine and food. You are also lively and lively. Then ask someone to watch from the front and tell brother not to eat wine."

Gu Zhan and some classmates from Jia Lan Academy came today, and Jia Lan greeted them all in the front yard.

Only then did everyone smile and hurriedly went out to spread the word.

Although there were few people on this day, it was very lively. They didn't leave until the second watch, and went back to their rooms to rest.

After Li Wan washed and washed, she changed into her homely pajamas. The quilt on the couch was already warm and sweet. Li Wan hugged Mrs. Tang and smelled the faint sweet fragrance in her nose. She felt warm and comfortable all over her body, but she fell asleep after a while .

Entering the twelfth lunar month, the wind is rising day after day, and the snow is flying down one after another early.That day when the snow fell at one o'clock, it was already a world of silver makeup, and the world was crushed by jade.

The weather was cold, so Li Wan stayed at home and took the maids to cut winter clothes at home.

This is the most comfortable day for Li Wan since he came to this world. He doesn't have to make up his mind, and he doesn't have to abide by those rules and dogmas.

Leisurely.

As the New Year approached, Li Wan took the maids to prepare for the New Year's Eve and buy the New Year's ceremony. He left in a hurry and only brought some clothes for urgent use. Many things were not complete and had to be prepared one by one.

Li Wan sent people to give New Year's gifts to each family, and each family had a gift in return.

In return, besides antique decorations, wine, satin and food, Daiyu also sent a lot of furs, including fox fur, mink fur, ermine skin, and a big wolf skin, all of which are extremely rare and good.

Mrs. Gu, Yan Hui, and the Shen family also had a lot of silk and satin in their gifts, all of which are good materials for government and official use.

There were not enough needleworkers, besides, most of Li Wan's and Jia Lan's clothes were made by the maids in the house, so Dan Ju and the others were busy for several days, using these leathers and silks to make several sets of winter clothes for Li Wan, and two more. Put on the clothes, shoes and socks for the New Year, and the big wolf skin also made a mattress.

Jia Lan's stature grew rapidly, and several sets of clothes newly cut a month ago were a bit short, so they had to be remade. Li Wan also sewed some cloaks and boots and socks for him.

The cotton cloth and silk satin bought earlier were also distributed to the needlework, and new clothes were cut for the maids and servants in the mansion. Whether it was brought by Li Wan or the Lin family, each of the maids and servants They are all two sets of clothes, but the fabrics are slightly different according to the proportions.

In addition, Li Wan also sent a message, as long as he works hard, everyone will have a new set of clothes and a monthly report by the end of the year.

Everyone was overjoyed, thanked you, everyone was smiling, and worked harder.

In the early morning of this day, Li Wan was adjusting her makeup in front of the mirror under the window, when she saw Dan Ju come in with a girl holding a few boxes, and said, "Grandma, I've had the goldsmith beat my head."

During this period of hectic days, Li Wan forgot about it, and said with a smile, "Bring it here and let me have a look."

Danju agreed, opened the boxes one by one, and showed them to Li Wan.

In the first box are several sets of head noodles. The first set is Meidie Diancui head noodles. The whole body is made of Diancui technology. The plum blossoms and butterflies are pasted on the water chestnut flowers.

The pistils of plum blossoms are made of gold thread and rice beads, and the tentacles of butterflies are made of twisted gold thread. The cover of the headgear is either beaded, inlaid with treasure, or gilded, all of which are elegant in color and gorgeous, exquisite and unique in workmanship, which is very rare.

The second box is full of small jewellery. Li Wan picked up a pair of gold inlaid pearl earrings, and saw that the earrings were tassel-shaped

, with emerald butterflies inlaid on the gold holders, and gold needles on the back for ear piercing.There is a string of pendant pearls, the top one is a third-class pearl, and there is a gold support below, and the bottom of the string of pearls is an eggplant-shaped emerald pendant, with lotus-patterned pink tourmaline as the support, and pearls embedded on both sides.

In addition, there are four pairs of pearl earrings, two pairs of purple emerald gourd earrings, twelve pairs of gold earrings inlaid with gemstones, six gold rings with gemstones, six emerald rings, and six gold and silver rings with pearls.

Li Wan played with it for a while, then looked at several other boxes. These boxes were filled with various kinds of hairpin rings, such as bat hairpins inlaid with gold gemstones, orchid grasshopper hairpins inlaid with gold beads, peach and bat hairpins inlaid with gold coral, double happiness hairpins, Bat hairpin inlaid with emerald butterflies and tourmalines inlaid with gold, bat hairpins inlaid with emerald dots in gold, long red gold emerald hairpins, and hairpins with spreading wings, peony hairpins, plum blossom hairpins with pearls; and various necklaces, jade pendants, jade bracelets, gold inlaid Gemstone bracelets, pearl bracelets, jadeite eighteen sons, etc., are all uniquely crafted, exquisite and gorgeous.

Everyone was amazed, and Li Wan was also very satisfied. The goldsmiths of this Zhenbao Pavilion are indeed extraordinary in their craftsmanship. Every piece of jewelry has put a lot of effort into it, which is no worse than those centuries-old brands in Beijing.

Dan Ju gave Li Wan the set of plum butterflies and emerald heads, and took a target mirror, and showed her the back of her bun, and said with a smile, "How does grandma look?"

Li Wan looked at it for a moment, nodded and said: "This is very appropriate, I will wear this set during the Chinese New Year."
