Chapter 331: Congratulations
(One more!) Kavinka makes me want to die, I'm going to have to take care of it. )
The officials were in full swing preparing for the crown prince's canonization ceremony, and the officials and wives in the back house were not idle. At that time, they will go to meet the crown princess, and they will also prepare their dresses and practice etiquette.
In addition, they also have to prepare for the New Year, which is a major event. Boxing gifts to be sent to all parts of the country should be prepared from November onwards. Making a gift list is the first thing to do and the most difficult thing to do.
Don't look at it as just a gift list, it contains university questions, which most directly reflects the emotional intimacy and power. The most important duty of the lady in charge of this matter is to grasp the appropriate degree, in other words, to give the right gift!
According to the intimacy between one's own family and other families, to determine the thickness of the gift; It is also necessary to take into account the power of each family, and the powerful cannot be light; Even if it is a family with the same rank and position, the gifts given are different.
In Jingzhao, a place full of powerful people, there is not necessarily any benefit in giving the right gift, but giving the wrong gift will cause big trouble, and even some families have disputes and become enemies because of this.
During the Jianhe period, there was such a thing, when Du Lanxi, the secretary of the ministry, and Jingzhao Yin Peiling fought, and what they did was to give gifts in the inner house, which shows that the matter is big.
With such a vigilant example, Mrs. Jing Zhao cheered up and made this gift list, and after the list was made, they had to ask the officials in the front yard to check it carefully, so that they could give gifts with confidence.
Fu has been in charge of the family for six years, and this is still there, and what should be sent to which house. What kind of closeness is expressed, she can still handle it. Although Gu Chongan is no longer an official in the court, it does not mean that she can be relaxed.
Because there is also Gu Zhan, Gu Zhan is the secretary of the ministry, and the Gu family is very cautious about giving gifts or returning gifts, and she is also very careful when preparing gifts.
Mama Che, who came out of the palace, taught Gu Yan about this matter. The importance of the gift list, how to prepare the gift list, etc., are all mentioned.
Gu Yan listened very attentively. In her previous life, she did not learn such content in the Gu family, and later married into the Chengguo Mansion. was disliked by the Zhong family. Zhong didn't mention anything about her, and she really suffered a lot in this matter.
She knows the importance of etiquette and can grasp the appropriate degree, which she learned in the last two years of her death. Thereinto. Good words make a difference.
She remembered the kind words again. remembered the kind words that Shen Du sent to her in her previous life. It's just that she has asked Shen Du to look for it. The Shen family does not have a person named Shanyan in the dark.
What is going on, Gu Yan doesn't know. Either way, she was lucky. There are no good words in this life, she still has Shen Du, as well as Mama Feng and Mama Che and others.
Therefore, Mama Che's teachings are very precious in Gu Yan's opinion.
On this day, Gu Yan went to Diezhang Courtyard, and happened to hear Fu Shi talking to Mama Feng, talking ...... It's a matter of giving gifts to the Shen family.
"The two families are married, and this festival must be indispensable. Alas, speaking of which, it is really insufficient for the Shen family to have no lady in charge. If it were an ordinary family, there would have been a lot of contacts in the inner house for a long time, and they were very familiar with the situation, so it was not as ...... as it is now," Fu Shi said with a frown.
The Gu family has no heirs, and if there is another person in the Shen family, who is too thin to work, no matter what you say, the Fu family has some pimples in her heart.
Mama Feng smiled and said, "Mrs. might as well think so, the girl will be the wife of the family immediately when she marries Shen." The lowest is a five-grade fate, and the wife should be happy for the girl. ”
After hearing Mama Feng's persuasion, Fu Shi frowned. It is a pity that there is no elder to help in the back house, but on the other hand, it is also the freedom of the bride. No matter how much Fu thinks about it, there is no other choice at the moment.
No matter what, there are gains and losses.
Mama Feng narrowed her eyes and didn't say anything more. In her opinion, Gu Yan is a person with great skills, and taking care of the inner house is nothing.
When Gu Yan heard these words, his face was not much shy, but as if he had thought of something, a smile appeared on his face.
The wax moon is approaching, which means that Shen Du's birthday has arrived. It's been another year so soon, thinking of Shen Du's crown ceremony last year, Gu Yan felt that his heart was burning hot.
At that time, how could she have such courage to say to Shen Du, "Lord Shen, I am pleased with you"? Last year, she sent a wrench and that sentence, what will she give this year?
Thinking of this, Gu Yan had distress on his face. Giving gifts or something, it's really not an easy task!
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the eighth day of the lunar month, Shen Du's birthday. On the birthday day of non-small and non-big, it is naturally a qiē from Jane, especially in the Shen family, a qiē is so simple that it can no longer be simple, it is to find an ordinary dinner.
Du Yu and Lu Qing came, and said with a smile that Ji Zhi is one year older, and we people are old; Ye Ran naturally came, but there was a little gloomy between his eyebrows, as if he didn't belong to his thoughts, which was not quite the same as usual.
The child Zhu Xuanzhi didn't come, but yesterday he gave Shen Du a birthday gift. The birthday gift he gave was very simple, but it was very popular with Shen Du, that is, he fluently memorized one-fifth of the official tree in front of Shen Du.
The official genealogy he recited was specially made for him by Shen Du, including the official genealogy of the nine mansions and sixteen guards of Dading. The content of this official genealogy is vast, and there are more than 400 kinds of official positions, and there are even more officials. Zhu Xuanzhi can recite one-fifth, which has satisfied Shen Du.
Shen Du's mood was even happier than last year's crown ceremony. A lot of things have happened in the past year, although there are all kinds of difficulties, but in Shen Du's opinion, they are gradually improving.
My father no longer has to suffer from internal forces, he has made a marriage with Ah Bi, and the situation is stable...... As soon as he thought of this, Shen Du felt satisfied, his eyebrows seemed to be smiling, and his face after drinking wine seemed to be flying, which was different from his calm and calm in the past.
Such a degree of calmness made Gu Yan's heart tremble. Because of the wine, Shen Du's face was slightly red, and when he looked at Gu Yan with his eyes slightly raised, his eyes were full of tenderness, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and there was an indescribable charm.
Such a degree of Shen Du was so tempting/bewildering that she didn't dare to look directly, so she had to avoid her eyes and try her best to suppress the burning heat in her heart.
Seeing Gu Yan's shy appearance, Shen Du suddenly chuckled. Her voice was low, as if it was tugging at Gu Yan's heartstrings, and the blush on her cheeks deepened.
"Ah Bi, are you afraid of me? I won't eat you again, don't be afraid, don't be afraid......" Shen Du chuckled, and the fiery breath gradually approached Gu Yan.
The atmosphere of Tongyin Xuan was full of charm, and at this time, someone was riding thousands of miles to Jingzhao!
(Extra: One Update!) Maybe it's a change today, Kaven is too strict, please forgive me! (To be continued......)
PS: One more! Thanks to floodjiang, only miss the reward, thank you to the thief cowardly thief, Vivian0119, and the monthly pass of the idle wife Liang's mother! Thank you~~
