Zhou Baolu got the second day, and only then did he have time to show Xiao Hongcheng the gift list for the emperor.

Xiao Hongcheng opened it and looked at it, and was shocked at first: two feet long! Dense lines are all written.

Another sigh: Xiaolu is really a talent! The two-foot-long list is not worth much, except for a pair of Kodama Ruyi and a pair of red gold bowls at the beginning, the others are some trivial daily necessities that can no longer be trivial, from head to toe, from getting up in the morning to going to bed at night, there is nothing that I didn't expect, what I eat, what I wear, what I put to watch, what I can't find, and there are no things that I can't find, Xiao Hongcheng is really dizzy to see.

"Are you giving a gift or buying a belongings for your father?" Xiao Hongcheng simply obeyed her.

Fortunately, it is the father, if it is given to the princess who has not been out of the pavilion, people will still think that this sister-in-law is preparing a dowry!

Zhou Baolu suddenly became vigilant: "Why, your family usually doesn't give gifts like this?" ”

Zhou Baolu This is the new daughter-in-law, the first time to give gifts to the family, she has not learned before, but they are all gifts to outsiders, she has seen Mrs. Chen's Zeng's family, those gift lists Zeng have given her one by one, gift-giving is a science, Zhou Baolu knows the way, relatives are far away, high and low, have to be considered.

She did learn a lot.

But when it comes to giving gifts to his family, Zhou Baolu has never learned, it should be said, he didn't learn! In my uncle's house, because of the different relationship between my uncle and my parents, my uncle instructed my aunt to give gifts to my parents at four o'clock and six festivals.

The old man didn't pick this, but the Yang family picked it, and the gift was not expensive enough, she would ramble in front of everyone, which made the old man upset, and the family was not at peace.

And in the princess's mansion, it is another extreme, the father has no interest, the mother is not very at home, what can an aunt understand, Zhilan Courtyard has always relied on the support of the princess's mansion, that is, to go out to salute, no matter when it is the eldest princess Jinghe to prepare things for Zhou Jilin, so when receiving gifts, it is also handed over to the princess, he is also used to it, thinking that the horizontal and vertical are all things in the mother's library, even if it is not interesting to send the mother, so the four seasons and six festivals are nothing more than a little thing, or some fresh fruits, or tea and satin.

Now that Zhou Baolu is married to the prince, has entered the palace, and is the master of the house, he naturally has to consider these things.

But family, how to send it?

In the past, Xiao Hongcheng was also casual, anyway, he was a single person, and he didn't open a mansion and had no income, so he justifiably used his father's private treasury, so when he gave gifts to his father, he could only pick some good things from the things that the people from below came in, and then get something else from his father.

In the past, I couldn't refer to it, and my brothers and sisters couldn't refer to it, everyone opened a house, and they had an income from the industry, and they didn't live in the palace, so it was different to give gifts.

But now, Xiao Hongcheng is a person with a daughter-in-law, although he has not opened a house, but the income is there, Zhou Baolu pondered this gift for several days, it is too valuable and all gold and silver antiques, it seems that the father and son are separated, and it is too far away from before, it is not expensive and it seems stingy and stingy, Zhou Baolu pondered and pondered, and then decided on a compromise method, put two precious and glamorous beginnings, and then add some trivial supplies to care for his old man, a show of filial piety, because it is not valuable, he desperately added it, it was really a lot of effort.

Xiao Hongcheng lost his patience after a few glances, but on this gift list, he could see Xiaolu's filial piety, and it was not easy to say anything, after thinking about it, he felt that although it was too much, it was not out of line, so he said: "Of course I didn't give it like this before, I used to be alone, so I came in from the outside, picked some exquisite and stylish ones, and gave a gift, and now I have a daughter-in-law, it is indeed different, and it is good to show our filial piety." ”

Zhou Baolu said: "My father is rich all over the world, what is not, it is not rare for us to give gifts, but the gold and silver mountains are carried away, how happy can my father be?" It's better to send it lively, and it can be used on weekdays, if the father likes it, put one or two things in the house or study, and let the father look at it, and know that we think about his old man in everything, and it will not be in vain for our hearts, don't you say? ”

She thought for a while and said: "We are like this now, although the expenses are large, not rich, but if you want to say that the gift to my father and the emperor, how valuable it is to give, but I feel that what is given is all valuable, although it is respectful, it seems to be raw, not the meaning of father-son love." ”

Heavenly family may be the place where the love between father and son is the weakest, but the place where the love of father and son is most needed.

Xiao Hongcheng took the list and tapped his chin, revealing a thoughtful expression.

It's really a girl's mind is more delicate, and she thinks more thoughtfully about interpersonal relationships, Xiao Hongcheng himself has always felt that giving gifts all year round is a face-saving feeling, what does it matter?

can be called Zhou Baolu to say this, this is thoughtful, and it is indeed very reasonable.

Then he thought of another thing, and became a little excited, so he suddenly hugged Zhou Baolu and kissed him, took the gift list and said with a smile: "I'll take out the Lu and ask them to discuss, and I'll talk about it later." ”

I hurried out.

It's a bit inexplicable.

Zhou Baolu shook his head, and put the account, file, and list together, the feeling of cashier is good, but there are many things, because of the letter received, the uncle's family is in the hometown for the New Year, Zhou Baolu has packed up a few things, handed over to the person who came back to report the letter to send to the uncle, because it is in the hometown, Zhou Baolu specially asked for the will, opened a small back door for his uncle, called the people of the Internal Affairs Office, played the seal of the Internal Affairs Office, and covered it with yellow silk, in order to show the dignity of the imperial ancestor worship.

The emperor also rewarded two things.

Now that the ceremonies outside have been prepared, there are also the princesses' mansions, Xiao Hongcheng's uncle Chengen's family, and the ceremonies of several princes and princesses must be prepared.

The third prince is a good brother, and the daughter-in-law is her best friend, so she naturally thickens it a little.

The eldest princess is a sister-in-law, and she has just been divorced, so she needs to be comforted, so she naturally needs to be thickened, indicating that her brother and sister-in-law care.

The second prince is forbidden, and the things don't need to be valuable, but it is appropriate to send some playthings, pens, ink, paper, inkstones, etc.

There are also concubines Wu and Hong Liangdi in the palace, the mothers of the two talented people, and they also want to reward things, Zhou Baolu studied very hard, called Peony and Zhu Tang to lead the maids, and took the things named by Zhou Baolu like a marquee, and then packed the boxes and handed them over when it was suitable.

Then Xiao Hongcheng came back again, and when he entered the door, he sent everyone out, and then bit his ear with Zhou Baolu and taught her a word in a muttering voice.

Zhou Baolu said: "What is this for?" ”

Xiao Hongcheng said with a smile: "This is our outside matter, I have always had the heart to tell my father, and I can't find a suitable opportunity, this matter involves a lot, if it is the royal history, I am afraid that it will not end well, I have to probe my father's mouth in private, know the holy will of the Dao, what does it mean, it doesn't matter, you don't know about the Dao, there is not a word in the words, it has nothing to do with you, you just gave the gift, according to what I just said, I have the rest." ”

Zhou Baolu didn't know very well, but he also understood, Xiao Hongcheng saw this gift list, and suddenly thought that this gift was different from previous years, and it might be able to create an opportunity for him, so he went to discuss it just now.

Zhou Baolu nodded in response, this kind of thing is not difficult at all!

In a blink of an eye, it was Chinese New Year's Eve, the rules of the Dasheng Dynasty, the family banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve, the state banquet on the first day of the new year, this night, the emperor led his sons to sit outside the main hall, and the harem was more lively, the concubines of the previous generation, the four concubines and nine concubines in the harem today, the princesses and daughters-in-law of the present, all sat inside.

The prince led his brothers to kowtow to the emperor, and the emperor also sent a red envelope to them, and when they sat down, Zhou Baolu led the princess and Wang Jinxiu to kowtow to the emperor.

The emperor was obviously more kind to the girls, and after sending red envelopes and talking with a smile, Zhou Baolu presented the gift list.

The Emperor smiled and opened it, and Lalala...... Pulling the elder apart, his arms were almost straight.

The author has something to say: the second watch is coming!
