In the late afternoon, before the sky was dark, Zhang Jin, who had raised three hundred taels of silver, wrapped three tickets of one hundred taels with a red cloth cover, and met Qiuyue at Nuanxiangwu under the pretext of New Year's greetings. seems to be honest, and he is in a proper manner, and he has delivered this important content out of the way.

Qiu Yue, who was punished and scolded, had not yet recovered from it, so she planned not to want it. However, she couldn't stand the persuasion of Taohong on the side, "A woman's family must always leave some money by her side to be around", so she silently accepted it. Seeing that Zhang Jin, who she finally accepted the silver ticket, was half happy and half sad, and left without much disturbance.

He thought that his errand as a village leader should be sitting firmly, and at the same time, he couldn't help but feel sorry for some of the deficits that had fallen by spending that sum of money. However, Zhang Jin repeatedly comforted himself that as long as he didn't throw away this errand, he would make up for it all in the coming year, after all, he would deliver all the gifts that should be given one by one, and everyone who needed to do so was counted.

The second day, Chinese New Year's Eve, is the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the most important day of the year, and there is no so-called one. In this day of removing the old and welcoming the new, the slaves and maids up and down the Li Mansion were under the guidance and supervision of the steward, and they were so busy that they were about to turn their feet to the sky. As for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at night, according to Li Wenxuan's prior intention, he did not set up multiple tables, but set up a fairly large round table in the hall. In his inherent thinking, this New Year's dinner should be a family sitting together to be more lively, more atmosphere, and fully reflect the happiness and satisfaction of the family.

Chu Hanlu, who was wearing new clothes in her body, put on a gray squirrel skin coat given to her by Zhao Tian'er. As a newcomer to Li's house, she didn't dare to hold it up, so she came to the main hall early to wait. It didn't take long for the autumn moon with a pink Suzhou embroidered dress underneath. Outside, he is also wearing a squirrel fur coat.

When she saw Chu Hanlu, she naturally wanted to say good New Year's first, and then said with a smile: "I thought I would be the first to come, but I didn't expect my sister to come earlier than me." Chu Hanlu, who got up from the chair and saluted her, also said auspicious words to her for the New Year. Holding her hand was Qiu Yue, who sat down together, chatting gossip. Sip your favorite tea and wait patiently for others.

After another half of the incense, Su Meiniang, who was wearing a brown fox fur coat, calculated the time and came a little earlier. With this graceful and luxurious dress, she immediately had a maid who loved to pat on the back to surround her, and said in surprise: "Mrs. Mei, your fox skin is really good-looking." Ziz, this thing can only be worn on your body. in order to reflect this kind of wealth. It must have been specially customized for you! ”

Chunxiang, the third-class maid who followed Su Meiniang's side, and then the other party did not forget to please her housewife, and felt that her face was quite bright, and her eyebrows danced and said, "Then do you need to say it?" The lord of our family loves Mrs. Mei. Hearing the good words, Su Meiniang, who couldn't help but reveal joy in her expression, looked at Qiu Yue who stood up and gave herself a salute, Chu Hanlu's coat was just a gray squirrel fur coat, which was naturally far less expensive than her fox fur coat. She deliberately sat across from them and asked for a cup of red robes. didn't drink it, but stroked his protruding belly with his right hand in front of the two of them.

Li Wenxuan, who spent the night at Zhao Tianer's last night. Holding his daughter Li Muxin in his arms, he appeared in the main hall together with Zhao Tianer is left hand holding his son Li Zimo's right hand. Zhao Tianer, who was wearing an off-white mink coat, immediately became the focus of everyone, after all, mink is known as the "king of fur".

The work of the front and rear feet, pregnant Lin Ruoxi. It was inconvenient, so he didn't hold his young son, but was hugged by his personal maid Lu'er and walked into the hall with her. And the body is wearing the color and texture of Zhao Tianer's mink coat. The styles are almost identical. Seeing Su Meiniang in her outfit, the boss was unhappy in her heart, and she repeatedly said that Li Wenxuan was eccentric. As long as the slaves and maids present are not blind and their brains are not stupid, they can peek into their respective positions in the family from the clothes of the ladies in the house.

Lin Ruoxi and Zhao Tianer are divided into courts, one level, and Su Meiniang is the second level only among them. Autumn Moon is the third level of the next best. As for Chu Hanlu, who had just entered the door, he was naturally ranked behind the most. The slaves and maids in the house knew very well that such a division was very fair.

Seeing that the whole family had arrived, Li Wenxuan, holding his beloved daughter in his arms, sat on the main seat, and said with a very good smile: "Let's sit together!" Zhao Tianer and the others, who all know the rules, find the position they should sit in. On his left hand side are Zhao Tian'er, Su Meiniang, Chu Hanlu, and on his right hand side are Lin Ruoxi and Qiu Yue. Li Tianyou and Li Zimo sat opposite their father, and next to the two of them stood their mother's personal maid Lu'er, Ning Xiang. Such a deliberate arrangement, on the one hand, is to take better care of them, and on the other hand, it is good to serve them vegetables, after all, this round table is indeed big enough.

The table is full of dishes, either mountain delicacies or seafood, and all of them are exquisitely made. After seeing Li Wenxuan, the head of the family, moved the first chopsticks, everyone present moved the chopsticks in their hands one after another. It's not about eating at all, it's about enjoying this atmosphere of family harmony above all. Although I know that this is a superficial phenomenon, I just like this feeling of self-deception.

"Baby, what do you want to eat? Let Daddy call someone to clip it for you. He lowered his head and looked at Li Wenxuan, who was sitting in his arms, and asked with a happy face.

Li Muxin, who had a pair of big eyes and looked back and forth three times, didn't find that there was the dish he wanted to eat the most on the table, and pouted: "No, I want to eat fish brain tofu." ”

Li Wenxuan, who didn't even look at it on the table, immediately ordered the ugly girl who was standing near him and waiting: "You ask the kitchen to quickly make a bowl of fish brain tofu for Miss." ”

Li Tianyou and Li Zimo, who heard that there was fish brain tofu to eat, stood on the chair uncontrollably, and also clamoured: "Dad, I want to eat it too." ”

Li Wenxuan, who was smiling, raised his right hand and motioned for the two brothers to sit down quickly and said, "You are indispensable, everyone eats." (To be continued......)
