Anyway, when the eldest lady needs it, she can also say one, two, three.

It's really cold in the wax moon, but when it's more than a decade, the house is also busy, and it takes three days just to sweep the house.

It's a big place.

Zhuang Jiaojiao had already sent someone to her home to say it, so on the sixteenth day of the lunar month, she was going back to her parents' house.

New Year's gifts.

This is actually a folk custom, a few years ago, the married daughter gave a New Year's gift to her mother's family.

Especially the new son-in-law must have this rule.

However, for large families or official eunuchs, rules are rules, what do you really give?

It's just a meaning.

But Zhuang Jiaojiao still ordered Zhuangzi early in the morning to prepare pork, mutton, ham, goose, and some fabrics for the old lady and the eldest lady, as well as the two sisters-in-law. And then there are some rare spices or something.

A whole car was also prepared.

Of course, this is the rule, and the first year is bound to be given a decent look.

Even if the government knows, there is nothing to say.

But there are really people in the house who are not happy.

Little Lee.

Although, the matter of giving New Year's gifts is due.

But Zhao Wulang didn't follow Xiao Li's rules that could not be ignored in the first year.

She is the new daughter-in-law, but Zhao Wulang is not a new son-in-law.

The step-room is in front of the wife's tablet, and what is done is always just a concubine ceremony.

Therefore, Zhao Wulang is willing to go back with him, even if he gives face, he will never bother like this.

The Zhuang sisters also discussed the date, all sixteen.

On the night of the fifteenth, Zhao Tuo naturally came over.

Zhuang Jiaojiao also asked about tomorrow.

Zhao Tuo also had to make: "Since the eldest lady has something to ask for, then I will naturally push everything off." ”

Of course, it is a certain thing, but in fact he is also busy.

Recently, you have to take stock in the yamen, right?

Besides, it's going to be the New Year, and he also goes to banquets every day.

Men also enjoy flowers and snow, poetry and songs, drinking, polo, and kemari, anyway, there are many activities.

Since he entered the wax moon, he has never stopped, not to mention his popularity, he is still a prince of the palace. Can there be fewer invitations?

"Thank you Lang Jun a lot, look at you have drunk too much these days, and people have lost weight." Zhuang Jiaojiao laughed at him.

Zhao Tuo didn't care: "Who dares to pour me wine?" I'm tired of watching feasts every day. "It's all big dishes every day, and I look tired of it.

It's better to brew here, cook a bowl of noodles hot, nourish your body and stomach.

With a few side dishes, there are meat and vegetables, which are delicious.

The two of them went to bed early tonight, and Zhao Tuo didn't toss anymore.

I got up early in the morning, half an hour earlier than usual, and set off after a bite of breakfast.

A horse-drawn carriage sits for two people, and a mule cart pulls things. Go to the dealer.

This time, Zhuang Zhiwei's family came first, it's nothing, she is a sister, and it should be so.

Zhuang Jiaojiao and Zhuang Zhaowan are the front and rear feet.

The three sisters are finally together again.

Zhuang Zhaowan is seven months old, he walks carefully, he is fatter, and he looks very good.

The three sisters and their husbands went to see the old lady, the eldest lady and Zhuang Shouye.

greeted each other with the family, and politely sat in the old lady's birthday hall.

The old lady came to see that the eldest grandson and granddaughter-in-law in her family were not pleasing to the eye, and she didn't dare to like only Zhuang Hanhai and his family, so she could only see them rarely.

I was very happy to see three neat granddaughters.

"Okay, good, they're all good boys, all the way, they're all cold, right? Especially the five girls, tired, right? ”

All three of them said it was okay and sat down with a smile.

The old lady went to see her grandson-in-law again, and it was neat and tidy, although He Hongyuan was a little unsatisfactory, it was okay.

At least it's still outstanding in appearance.

After sitting here with the old lady for a while, this is Zhuang Shouye said: "Tell the children to rest, and we will still be here for a banquet in a while." Sons-in-law just talk to my study? It's also the New Year, and I want to see you too. ”

This is actually to ask Zhuang Zhiwei and Zhuang Jiaojiao to talk to their little mother.

After all, after getting married, there is less time to see the little ladies in private.

Zhuang Jiaojiao arrived at Yang Xiaoniang, and Yang Xiaoniang laughed from afar: "Good boy, I look forward to you." ”

"It's cold, I'll naturally come, why are you waiting outside?" Zhuang Jiaojiao said distressedly.

"How cold it is, I'm wearing thick clothes, you see, this is the material that the eldest lady bought outside some time ago, and it looks good and heavy, and we all got a lot. I made three, two for Chinese New Year, and one for today. It's good to see people. ”

Today is also a family banquet a year ago, and several concubines will also go to eat.

Although you can't share the table with other people, it's also lively to open a table with a single order.

"I have also brought you some clothing and ready-to-wear today. Don't wronged yourself, don't be wronged, just wear what you have. ”

As he spoke, Zhiyue had already asked someone to bring everything.

In addition to clothing, ready-to-wear, there is also rouge gouache, and a few pieces of jewelry.

"Ouch, you girl, you just got married, what are you doing with this? Your dad asks someone to make jewelry for us every year. "Zhuang Shouye calls people to make jewelry for the eldest lady, the old lady, and the concubines every year.

In the past few years, there have been more daughters-in-law, and daughters-in-law have been added.

Of course, the daughters also had it before they got married.

Of course, if you have less money this year, you will have one less, and sometimes, one less a year.

For example, when Zhuang Jiaojiao was very young, but there must be every year.

"I also have preparations for the old lady and the eldest lady, and there are not many of you, little lady. I can't usually take things like that. That is, the time of the New Year's gift. Most of the money I use is from my dowry. Lang Jun also knows that I am a concubine, in addition to honoring my mother-in-law, is it possible that my biological mother is not counted? So it's fine. ”

In fact, in Qingjing Garden, it is natural to have these in the money used for communication or normal courtesy exchanges.

Their lives are not tight, so they will not be so dead to the end of every sum of money, and they will naturally have a surplus.

Besides, Zhuang Jiaojiao has the shop given by Mrs. Sun in her hand, which Yang Xiaoniang just doesn't know.

"Hey, although I'm a little lady, I'm having a better time now. You don't know, your uncle went to the south to do business, and he has made a lot of money in the past few years. No, they sent me a lot of things before the Chinese New Year. Naturally, I didn't dare to hide my secrets, so I sent them to the main house. The rest is enough for me. ”

This year's concubine is not allowed to have private property.

Your stuff is all at home.

is different from the dowry of the eldest lady, which cannot be moved.

The concubines themselves are all selling themselves, so what kind of private property are you talking about?

Of course, Yang Xiaoniang is a little better, she was hired from outside, so she can still have something.

"That's a good thing, too. It is good that you have money in your hand, so you can live a good life. Zhuang Jiaojiao said.
