As the saying goes, after Laba is the New Year, after cleaning the house, the next step is to be busy receiving the New Year's goods sent by the following Zhuangzi. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In fact, as soon as the lunar month arrived, the stewards of each Zhuangzi began to set off, and they came to report this year's harvest and some trivial matters on the Zhuangzi to the masters of the house. Second, as a rule, the best things on the Zhuangzi were packed and sent to the masters in the house as early as possible. It's going to be the New Year, and what you have in your own Zhuangzi naturally can't go out to buy anymore, like chicken, duck, fish, and fresh vegetables, not to mention the waste of money, and there is no fat produced in your own Zhuangzi.

There are 12 Zhuangzi that Mrs. Hou marryed, plus more than 30 Zhuangzi in Anxinhou's Mansion, a total of 42 Zhuangzi sent specially selected things, all of which have regional characteristics. For example, the orange sent from the hometown Zhuangzi of Lizhou, the sugarcane sent from the Xiaohuanshan Zhuangzi in Li County, Beijing, and the best chickens and ducks are raised by the Wang Steward of the Zhuangzi on the side of the Blue River in the capital, and the Zhuangzi of Yongzhou is sent every year with pomelo and apples.

Of course, the most important thing is that the masters in the house like it, and if the things sent are loved by the masters, the rewards are naturally indispensable.

On this day, Qian Yuning returned to Bicui Garden after inviting the young lady, just after breakfast, and was sitting drinking tea to eat, when the maid painting next to the little marquis's nurse Zhang Nanniang came. She carried a delicate bamboo basket on her wrist, and held a yellow-skinned grapefruit the size of a sea bowl in both hands, and as soon as she walked into the room, she smelled the aroma of apples.

Hua'er came forward to greet Qian Yuning: "The slave maid Hua'er has seen her aunt!" ”

Qian Yuning hurriedly invited her up, this is out of respect for Mama Zhang, so she naturally has to be more affectionate to the people around her. Mama Zhang is the nurse of the little marquis, not to mention, she once saved herself, and during her coma, she helped take care of the two children, these, Qian Yuning did not dare and would not forget, facing Mama Zhang and the paintings around her, she naturally valued it with 120,000 points.

Mama Liu also knew what was going on, and stepped forward to help the painting up, and after the painting stood up, she handed the bamboo basket and grapefruit in her hand to Dongxue and Xia Ying, who were standing aside, and said, "I'm tired of the two sisters." Dong Xue and Xia Ying took it in their hands, and said in a loud voice: "Don't dare, my sister is hard." ”

Hua'er turned to Qian Yuning and said: "Auntie, this is the apple sent by Yongzhou Zhuangzi this year, Mama Zhang instructed the slave maid to send you a basket over, if the aunt likes to eat, just call the sisters to order, and the slave can pick up the good ones and send them over." ”

Qian Yuning smiled and nodded: "Mama Zhang is always so caring, the painting girl will bring me a thank you, I have four-color preserved fruits here, wait a moment and ask Dongxue to put some back for you and Mama Zhang, and taste them together." ”

Hua'er made a thank you gift and said: "Aunt Xie's reward, by the way, auntie, the wife of the Jia steward on the Yongzhou Zhuangzi said that she asked to see you, saying that her surname was He, I don't know if you can see it?" ”

Qian Yuning thought about it, she didn't know any people in Yongzhou Zhuangzi, and she didn't know Jia's wife, He, but she was from Yongzhou?

After a pause, Qian Yuning said: "Then I'll ask the little marquis, you go and ask that Mrs. He to wait for two days." ”

Hua'er said: "Okay, auntie, you don't have to worry, Steward Jia and Mrs. Jia have only arrived today, and they still have to give an account to the master, and it will take ten days to finish." ”

Qian Yuning said some more words to Hua'er, and asked her to bring a message to Mama Zhang, come and sit when she has time, if you want Sister Yue'er and Brother Feng'er, it will be the same at any time.

The painting should be down, and after two quarters of an hour, the painting got up and retired, saying: "Auntie, the slave and maid will retire first, and there will be two stewards today. ”

Qian Yuning asked Mama Liu to bring a pair of carved peony sterling silver bracelets to the painting, and sent them out.

It turned out that after the stewards from this Zhuangzi arrived at the Hou Mansion, they were all received by the wooden housekeepers Mama Xu and Mama Zhang, respectively, and counted the New Year's goods they brought.

After ordering the New Year's goods, I arranged to go to the Huxin Courtyard one street away from the Hou Mansion to rest, so that the stewards who came all the way to clean up a little, sleep well, and come to the Hou Mansion to reconcile the accounts after recuperating on the second day.

In the evening, when the little marquis came to Bicui Garden, Qian Yuning learned the words of the painting to him, saying that the wife of the steward of Yongzhou wanted to see him, but he didn't know him. But when people asked to see him by name, maybe it was really Jiang Ning's mother's family who gave the words, and suddenly he couldn't decide that the main opinion was still missing, and he wanted to ask the little marquis to get an idea.

Cui Shuyan laughed when he heard it, and said: "See, there is nothing, the left and right are just family slaves, maybe I want to come in and kowtow to you and ask for some reward." Look at you, when you see a minion, you are in a hurry like this. ”

Xiao Hou Ye said something, Qian Yuning's ears turned red, and he started to come and give him a flower fist embroidered legs, and the two laughed and made a mess.
