Chapter Forty-Eight: Little Years
Chinese have always paid attention to a courtesy, there are back, although Lin Yu sent Yin Susu the big New Year gift because of the kindness owed to others, Yin Susu's return gift is definitely not that grade, but if she does not send it, it is her faux pastime. A top CEO who can easily manage a company as big as the Hou Mansion will naturally not do such a stupid thing, so a week after Lin Yu gave the gift, Yin Susu's return gift came to the door.
The leader of the team was the chief of the four female stewards in spring, summer, autumn and winter, who followed Yin Susu all day, that is, her first personal assistant, Lin Yu had met once, a girl named Chunwei. Chunwei is a little older than Qingqing, she seems to be twenty years old, but she is not married yet, and according to some memories of Lin Ruoyu, she seems to be a gentle and amiable person. and knife mouth tofu heart, although the heart is good, but the temper is not good, Qingqing is not the same type, but the two of them seem to get along well.
"I've seen Miss Lin, and our wife is also very concerned about Miss Lin, and asked me to bring it to you." Chunwei saw that Lin Yu did not take the shelf, but saluted respectfully.
"Sit down, Pearl go pour tea." The other party is a capable person by Yin Susu's side, Lin Yu naturally didn't dare to really treat herself as a young lady, so she hurriedly gave up her seat and asked someone to pour tea and serve snacks.
"Sister Su Su is too polite." Lin Yu took the gift list, glanced at it roughly, and had a number in his heart, and there were indeed a lot of gifts over the years, not to mention the wind chicken and sheep, and two excellent fur furs. After Lin Yu came to ancient times, he knew that the ancients liked to wear leather clothes, and the leather clothes of the good ones were warm, but the price of good leather clothes was really expensive, the price of these two clothes was one hundred and fifty or sixty taels, and the two pieces were almost three hundred taels, so the New Year's gift was extremely rich.
"I'm sorry, but our lady really has something to ask you for help." Chunwei smiled, "A few days ago, did you still have that incense pill that Qingqing girl gave you, that is, the one that promotes sleep, our lady uses it very well, and I want to ask for a few more pills." β
"That's still there, it's just not much, I only had ten pills when I matched it, I tried it twice, and I still have four pills" Qingqing hurriedly said, "Madame can't sleep well at night?" Haven't you seen a doctor? β
"It's just clichΓ©s." Chunwei didn't seem to be very satisfied with those doctors, "What is it to say that you are overthinking, our wife has been going all the way, a woman, there is no relatives to help her, and she meets such a negative man, can you not think too much?" Hey, back then, forget it, it didn't make much sense to talk about it. Madame can sleep peacefully, and stretch her brows at night, and we are also relieved to look at it. β
"Then I'll go get it." Qingqing also sighed, "It's really not easy for Mrs. Yin, and the Hou Mansion is really too much." β
The incense pill was not big, and Qingqing received it in a box and handed it to Chunwei, after Chunwei accepted it, she smiled and said, "This matter is a big deal, and there is another thing, don't make fun of our lady's greed, last time Mrs. ate a few snacks from Miss Lin, I think it's good, I don't know if there is anything else?" β
Because of the Chinese New Year, the weather is also cold, and things are durable, Lin Yu really made a lot of dim sum, and hurriedly asked someone to put all kinds of dim sum into two boxes, and said, "Among them, there are the last time Sister Su Su ate, and there are also new snacks that I have come up with in the past few days, and I don't know if Sister Su likes it or not." β
"Whether the dim sum is delicious or not, you can tell by looking at the faces of the two of you." Chunwei made a joke, "Seeing the two of them looking happy, my skin is white and red, I understand, you must know that our wife has lost a lot of weight these days, and her original clothes are a little empty, it seems that the cook of Lanyuan should roll up and leave." β
Lin Yu didn't laugh, for some reason he suddenly remembered Yin Su, who he saw by chance that day, and an inexplicable sadness came to his heart. Chunwei and Lin Yu are not familiar with each other, and they didn't care much when they saw that she didn't talk much, and chatted with Qingqing, although they were all homely gossip, but it could still be seen that the relationship between the two was very good before. However, Chunwei acts in a very Yin Susu style, which is very leaky, even if the focus of her speech is mostly on Qingqing, she will never snub Lin Yu.
Chunwei waited until after lunch before leaving, Lin Yu's lunch was naturally good, Chunwei also asked a few recipes, and said that she would take them back and let the cook make Yin Susu to taste. It can be seen that she treats Yin Susu not as a simple relationship between superiors and subordinates, but really has deep feelings.
The day after sending Chunwei away, Qingqing received a big gift, a precious spice sent by Yin Susu. Among them, the most valuable was the agarwood incense in the three spices that Lin Yu and Qingqing had seen at Boss Hu Shanghe before. Yin Susu's shot is really generous, not to mention other spices, the price of the sinking water is about 1,000 taels of silver. Although the incense pills that Qingqing gave to Yin Susu were made of the best spices, the cost of ten pills did not exceed one hundred taels.
Therefore, Qingqing was a little hesitant to accept this gift, but Lin Yu looked very open, "Take it, if you don't accept it, I'm afraid that Yin Susu won't ask for incense pills like you in the future, she is really generous, but she also wants to get some incense pills from you in the future." β
Nowadays, there are also common and easy-to-match soothing sleep incense products such as tranquilizer, but Qingqing is not as good as ordinary benzoin, and the quality of sleep is not only good, but also not like ordinary tranquilizer after use, dizziness and swelling, or refreshment. Yin Susu still has a huge industry to manage, and a large family to raise, so he is naturally very interested in it. It's just that she is not familiar with Qingqing to that extent, and she is not too embarrassed to ask for a prescription. And although it is okay to buy it with a lot of money, it will distance the originally close relationship with Lin Yu and Wen Qingqing, so Yin Susu also shelved this idea.
Qingqing was naturally very happy to get the spices she wanted, and her mind revolved around this all day, while Lin Yu distributed the reward to Yahuan's daughter-in-law for the New Year, that is, the year-end bonus. Therefore, this day passed quickly, it was already the twenty-first day of the lunar month, and the day after tomorrow was the first small year that Lin Yu spent in ancient times.
Lin Yu's reborn dynasty is very keen on the festival, early in the morning of the twenty-second day of the lunar month, Lin Yu was dragged out of the quilt by Qingqing, and when Lin Yu lazily washed up, he opened the door and saw that everyone had already gotten up and was busy cleaning. In fact, I was busy cleaning a few days ago, but today's work is extraordinarily heavy, and even Lin Yu has been assigned a task. After a busy day, the huge courtyard was finally cleaned, so that on the morning of the 23rd, it was only necessary to simply sprinkle and sweep.
On this day, everyone eats baked cakes, the business of the baked cake stall is very good, and the sister-in-law Sun also made baked cakes in time. However, in this dynasty, there is no so-called man does not worship the moon and women do not worship the stove, as long as the head of the family is fine.
Because Qingqing refused to live or die, and Lin Yu was indeed very interested, in addition to the regular tribute on the stove, there was caramel sugar, that is, maltose, water, beans, straw, and fake horses, Lin Yu knelt down and then said a set of words according to the guidance of his sister-in-law, begging the king of the stove to "say good things in the heavens, and keep the peace in the lower realm" and then burned the fake horse and the statue of the king of the stove, that is, to send the prince of the stove to the sky, and then ran back to sleep.
After the small year, there are only seven days before spring, this is the first Spring Festival after Lin Yu was reborn, and it is also the first New Year after Qingqing and Lin Yu left the Hou Mansion to live independently.
Finally, the thirtieth day of the lunar month, that is, Chinese New Year's Eve, arrived.
