Xie Mulin had a good night's sleep and slept until he woke up naturally. When I opened my eyes, it was already dawn.

It was sunny in the sky outside, Xie Mulin turned over and got out of bed, put on a thick coat and ran to the window to look out a few times, and saw that the snow had stopped, and the yard had already been cleaned by the mother-in-law who had been sprinkled and cleaned, and the sun shone on the bluestone slab ground, which was bright and shining, and it was warm for people to see.

She hurriedly went to freshen up and dress, and changed into a begonia red satin embroidered jacket specially made for the New Year, and tied an official green embroidered horse-faced skirt underneath. To be honest, if it weren't for the aesthetics of the current era, she wouldn't have dressed herself in a combination of red clothes and green dresses.

Peach combed her long hair carefully, and gave her a hairpin full of jewels and pearls. On the side, Cuijiao told her the news she had just heard: "The old lady went out at dawn, and they all wore a full set of dresses, saying that they couldn't come back for lunch, and asked the family to solve it." The second old lady was in great interest, and half an hour ago she called Mrs. Shanggu, the third young master, Young Master Yang and Miss Yang to go out to the temple fair together. The old lady was probably tired last night, and she couldn't get up this time. The kitchen man brought the girl's breakfast, it was millet porridge and steamed buns, the porridge was served in silver chozi, and simmered on the tea stove, and the steamed buns were also warmed in a large pot through water, and when the girl wanted to eat, she could send it hot at any time. ”

Xie Mulin answered, and asked again, "What about the other young masters and girls?" ”

Cuijiao thought for a while: "The eldest young master and the second young master are both up, but I don't know if they are still in their own room at this time." The third young master followed the second old lady out of the door. Fourth Young Master...... The old lady had always told him to sleep a little longer, and I didn't know what was going on today. The eldest girl and the third girl didn't go out, but the fourth girl always got up early, but she didn't know whether to go to the fourth young master or to see Aunt Qin. She paused, "Aunt Jin got up early." She also served her wife to comb her hair. At this time, he must have gone back to his room. ”

Xie Mulin knew it in his heart, and when he saw that Xiangtao had finished the work in hand, he looked left and right in the mirror, found nothing wrong, picked out a pair of earrings and wore them, and smiled at the two big girls: "Okay, let's ask someone to pass breakfast." I'm hungry too. By the way, bring the red envelopes prepared in advance, and we will divide the red envelopes in our courtyard first. ”

The peach and the green banana suddenly showed joy and went out happily. When Xie Mulin came out of the back room, a hot breakfast was already set on the table, and there was a delicate bamboo basket on the ground next to the table, which also contained many small purses made of red silk cloth, just like Xie Pu and the Wen family had ordered to be distributed to their subordinates last night.

However, the things in the purse are a little different, this is what Xie Mulin specially ordered people to prepare, they are all small peanuts, small pumpkins, small gourds and so on, which are delicate and have a certain weight, and there are small holes with perforations on the top. If you don't want to use them as cash messengers, you can directly use them as earrings or hairpin rings.

Xie Mulin gave an order, and the girls and mothers-in-law in the yard hurriedly stepped forward to divide two purses, although each purse is slightly different, and what you can get depends on luck, but because the value of the portions is about the same, no matter what style of silver products you touch, everyone is very happy, and they have the leisure to discuss the exchange with others in private. Everyone was rewarded, and they all happily paid New Year's greetings to the little master Xie Mulin, greeted him, and then retreated.

Shermulin began to enjoy his breakfast. Cuijiao whispered to Xiang Tao and Xiao Tao to discuss, wanting to exchange a small silver gourd and a small silver eggplant in her hand with their sisters for a small silver pumpkin and a small silver pomegranate, so that she could make a pair of silver pumpkin earrings and silver pomegranate earrings for herself, plus a pair of silver peanuts that she had already touched, she added three pairs of new earrings this New Year, which can be worn for a long time!

Xiao Tao prefers silver gourd and silver pumpkin, and is reluctant to change the latter, so Xiang Tao is the sister who stands out for her, and gives her a pair of silver bats from the main courtyard, and is immediately overjoyed. The other little girls called outside, she reported to Xie Mulin, and hurriedly went out to show off to her good friends.

Xiangtao looked at her sister's happy appearance, although she was happy for her in her heart, but she always felt that her sister was so old and couldn't be stable, which made people feel uneasy. Cuijiao smiled and comforted her: "It's okay, the girl is generous, so she won't worry about these things with your sisters." When the girl marries the Xiao family and brings you and me plus Xiao Tao, are you still afraid that your sister will suffer at the hands of other masters? ”

Xiangtao took a sip of her: "I know that you are the one who is married to Young Master Xiao's confidant, but you can't always talk about it." The girl didn't say anything, you hate to get married, and you are not ashamed! ”

Cuijiao snorted lightly, pursed her lips and chuckled, not caring about the peach at all. A year ago, the master was busy with family affairs, and his parents replied to his wife Wen's family, and then made a marriage with Gu Dongshan for her, and waited for Xiao Rui and Xie Mulin to get married, and then officially passed the door. She now has a lifelong support, and she is happy and relieved, so she is too lazy to talk to others. Chinese New Year's ......

Xie Mulin couldn't help but glance at Cuijiao with a smile, and he didn't get involved in the quarrel between the two henchmen. After breakfast, she put on her thick cloak and went out. With such good weather, of course she can't nest in the house in a daze, why should she go out to bask in the sun and move her hands and feet!

She first went to her third sister Xie Yingrong, who was closest to her.

Xie Yingrong hadn't gotten up yet, she was draped in a quilt on the kang, and took a book she didn't know what to do, turning the pages one by one. When she saw Xie Mulin coming in, she immediately stuffed the book into the quilt, pulled the quilt over her head and pretended to sleep.

Xie Mulin stood on the side of the kang with a smile and said, "Third sister, sleep if you want, get up to read if you want to read, don't shrank unkempt in the bed." Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, so it's okay. If you do the same tomorrow a few days, if someone comes to the door to pay New Year's greetings and asks you to go out to meet the guests, what can you do? Mrs. Wan likes to come to our house now, if she comes, can you still run out to meet her like this? If you wait for her to come and you put on makeup, God knows how long it will take? Although Mrs. Wan may be more happy to know that you are a lazy girl, can your pride stand her from saying that about you? ”

Xie Yingrong rolled over and sat up, glaring at her with a depressed expression.

Xie Mulin laughed: "That's right, let's freshen up." The sun is just right outside, so even if you don't go out for a walk, you should go to the yard to bask in the sun. You have been sick for several days in a row, and your face is pale, and you can't do it without basking in the sun! ”
