At the end of June, the number of people who came to visit the Xu family with the name card increased suddenly, and there was no shortage of young men who had just become Gongsheng in recent years.

Xu Gucheng's order has only been issued for a few days, and he has not made any announcements, but this kind of thing always spreads, in addition to these young tribute students, there are many big families who have prepared gifts to visit the Xu family.

The Lu family took over the affairs of the Xu family's inner courtyard from the Ding family, and immediately got busy, not only to settle the people who came to visit, but also to prepare for the begging festival, and they couldn't stop all day. Xu Gucheng felt a little distressed when he saw her like this, and tried not to see what the visitor could refuse, so as not to add an additional burden to the Lu family.

Ding's is a lively attitude, she doesn't care about anything except her dowry now, and lets people ask Lu all day long about what she did.

She was originally reluctant to hand over the power in her hands, so no matter how she looked at the Lu family, it was not pleasing to the eye.

Just waited for the Lu family to take over after he was busy messing around.

After waiting for two days, but seeing that the Lu family was getting more and more comfortable, I couldn't help but beat a drum in my heart, could it be that I really wanted to hand over the affairs of the family to the Lu family in the next half a year?

Old lady Xu didn't pay much attention to the affairs of the inner courtyard, as long as he got along well with the Zhang family, there was a lot of oil and water to be fished, although the Ding family was not short of money, but he didn't want to watch the Lu family take away the things at home before leaving.

The first qiē in the family was earned by her husband who was running around all day, and the second room was going to Bianjing soon, and she didn't want them to take half of the money when they left.

Ding has been holding this matter to his heart, and he can't even put it down, and he doesn't even have the mind to prepare a dowry for Xu Erniang.

So she began to look for the Lu family's stubble, she naturally did not go to Yingcheng Courtyard to find fault with the Lu family, but asked the maids of the big house to say everywhere that the second room was not, saying that the Lu family did not have the ability to run the house. In just half a day, the maidservants and mothers-in-law in the entire inner courtyard began to chew the root of their tongues.

If the master mother who is in charge of feeding is not respected by her subordinates, no matter what her ability is, she will definitely not be able to manage things.

When the steward heard some rumors, he began to doubt Lu's ability and was worried that she would not be able to handle things well. They were implicated. After all, the affairs of the Xu family have been in charge of the Ding family for more than ten years, no matter how domineering and harsh the Ding family is, there is at least some tacit understanding between them and the Ding family.

But only a few days have passed, except for the people in the big house, the people in the other courtyards no longer say that the Lu family is not. Because the Lu family is kind and straightforward. It's obviously better than what Ding did when he was feeding.

Ding Shi was bored in the house all day, and he had a hot pimple.

Many people visited Xu Gucheng but failed, so they asked his wife to meet Lu on the seventh day of July to go to his home to beg.

One family came to make an appointment, and the rest of the families followed suit, and later seven or eight families made an appointment with the Lu family on the day of the Begging Festival. There is no shortage of people who have a good relationship with her on weekdays. But now that she is in the middle of the house, she can't let a big family go out to the banquet by herself, so after thinking about it, she simply wrote a post, and in turn invited those ladies to the Xu family.

Since the beginning of July, the streets have been selling items needed for the festival, and the horse-drawn carriages on the streets are difficult to pass through near the seventh day of the new year.

Lui's girlhood was also very lively in the family, and her mother always invited friends to the house. Or take her and Twenty-One Niang to the homes of good friends on weekdays. Therefore, this time she invited many people to the Xu family to beg, but in her eyes it was just an extremely ordinary thing, but Ding felt that she was too public. Before going to bed at night, he said to Xu Guyu a few times.

Xu Guyu never had any objections to his father's arrangement, but he couldn't directly refute his wife's words, just saying that the Lu family was a big family and could not be compared equally.

Ding Shi snorted coldly and turned over, ignoring Xu Guyu no longer heed.

Xu Guyu stared at his wife's back and sighed. Relieved, I got up and blew out the lamp and went to sleep.

On the first day of July, Lu personally wrote a post and sent someone to send it out. I got a letter in the evening, and the ladies who received the post said that they would bring their daughter to Xu's house to beg.

After that, multicolored silk and nine-tailed needles were prepared. Distribute according to the number of people.

During the begging festival, women will make a feast in their own halls, begging for wisdom and delicate female craftsmanship, and of course, there is a needle threading competition afterwards.

When I promised to go to Yingcheng Courtyard after school, I happened to see the maid sorting out the colorful lines, and I was excited to go over to see it, and Chuntang said in the back: "Lady, you must pray with your heart on this begging festival." "If there is no blessing from the gods, with the lady's current embroidery skills, she will not be saved, and most of them will be disliked by her husband's family if she marries.

The promise to his female workers has been calm, and he decisively ignores Chuntang's hatred of iron and steel. Mrs. Xu originally asked her to follow Aunt Du to learn female work, but Xu Qian had such a thing, and Aunt Du was very shocked when she learned about it, saying that she would teach her after the Begging Festival.

Promise nature willingly.

Although the Xu family is not big, it is not small, and they will not go out to buy holiday food during the festival. Qiqiaoguo is also made by the Xu family's cooks, first put the sugar in the pot and melt it into syrup, then mix it with flour and sesame seeds, mix it well and spread it on the table. Then let it cool, then cut it into long squares with a knife, and finally fold it into a fusiform fruit embryo, and fry it in oil until golden brown.

He promised to eat two plates that day.

In the Song Dynasty, everyone will buy clay sculptures or wood carvings of small figures to grind and drink, mostly for children to wear lotus leaf half-arm skirts, holding lotus canopy or unopened lotus flowers or lotus leaves, implying that lotus gives birth to a noble son.

At noon on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Zhang Xian came to Xu's house with two small servants to congratulate Xu Gucheng on his promotion. The gift he brought was a pair of dragon hand incense carved into the mill and drink, the balustrade was painted wood carving, and the lotus pod in the boy's hand was an excellent jadeite, and the bottom of the jade was inlaid with gold ornaments, and the whole mill and drink music looked exquisite and rich.

Zhang was angry with him during the Qingming Tea Fight, because he almost ruined the reputation of her favorite granddaughter. Now that Xu Qian's reputation has been ruined by herself, the Zhang family has not loved her as much as in the past, although Xu Gucheng tried his best to keep her contact with Tang Qi as secret, but Zhang, as the old lady of the Xu family, has eyeliner everywhere, so how can she not know the slightest rumor.

Therefore, when Zhang Xian came this time, Zhang did not give him a face, but received him as happily as in the past.

Zhang Xian was dressed in a black shirt, with a transparent jade hanging from his waist, his hair was meticulously combed, and he was very energetic, and he couldn't see that he had been in a carriage for half a day.

Xu Gu Cheng took a three-day break on the Qiqiao Festival, and when he learned that Zhang Xian had arrived, he went to see him in the Yanyuan Hall.

Zhang Xian was very attentive after seeing Xu Gucheng, and bowed his hands respectfully, although there was no superfluous expression on his face, but the clear-eyed person could feel his respect for Xu Gucheng.

Xu Gucheng nodded quietly, Zhang Xian's last time was indeed not authentic, but he would never make a decision on a person because of one thing, and Zhang Xian abided by etiquette, although he did not have a deep friendship, he was not disgusted: "Why did Zhang Jiaxian's nephew come today, and he didn't say anything in advance?"

Now go to the second update (to be continued)
