As the New Year approaches, the whole country begins to prepare for the New Year.

In the capital, large families no longer hold banquets, but there are many courtesies.

Bai Ling thought that this year would be the same as usual, and he would give some New Year's gifts to the Han Wangfu and the Yang family, but he didn't want to receive a lot of New Year's gifts from people who didn't intersect, so he had to return the gifts.

However, there is an old lady in charge arranged by Shangguan Yu in the house, and Bai Ling hardly has to worry about returning the gift, unless the gift is particularly valuable.

"Begonia, when will the things prepared for the family be sent away?" Bai Ling held his hands and covered his son, sat on the warm step and looked at the account book tired, so he asked the begonia on the side.

"Tomorrow." Begonia replied succinctly.

"It's going to be the New Year, you tell me to go down and give some silver to the brothers everywhere, and let them arrange their own rotations. It's not good to be idle all year round, and it's not good to be tired. Bai Ling touched his hands and leaned back lazily.

"Yes." Begonias should be down.

"Prepare some fruit wine, medicinal wine, and high-quality white flour from winter wheat, as well as white rice in the house, and send them back to the two young masters' masters' families. Don't prepare too much, lest people stir things up. ”

Bai Ling nested there like a kitten, and liked the feeling of being busy.

Seeing that Begonia was still competing with the ledger, he said with a smile: "Break the meeting, chat with me, the ledger won't fly again, why are you in such a hurry?" ”

Haitang was single-minded, and his action of fiddling with the abacus slowed down, so he obediently stopped and poured Bai Ling a cup of red date tea.

"Shangguan Shizi's side, has the master figured out what New Year's gift to give? The Chinese New Year is coming in a month, and I am afraid that there will be heavy snow and delays on the road. Begonia asked.

"I send it every year, and I really don't know what rare things are." Bai Ling frowned.

There are few rare things in this era, Bai Ling thinks that he is not the kind of dexterous one, and he doesn't know what to prepare for Shangguan Yu.

Jade?

I've already given several pieces to Shangguan Yu, it's too uninspiring.

In the category of medicines, Bai Ling prepares them for Shangguan Yu from time to time, and he naturally has no shortage of them.

The rest are those specialties at home, without Bai Ling opening his mouth, Bai Sanshu and his wife took advantage of the Duan family's people to pull goods, and sent a lot to Shangguan Yu, but they didn't see what they sent to the capital.

Quasi-aunt, it is really the most popular.

Seeing Bai Ling's pout, with a tangled look, Haitang suggested: "In fact, whatever the master sends, the son of the world will be happy." If the master made it himself, I guess the prince would like it more. ”

"But my female celebrity can't do it!" Bai Ling touched the dark lines on his sleeve and said wistfully: "It's okay for me to use a needle to sew up the wound, forget about the embroidery." I'm afraid that if I embroider mandarin ducks, you look uglier than ducks. ”

Bai Ling is very self-aware, she can't even sew and mend clothes, and she was laughed at by her sisters before.

Haitang thought about it, but it was the same reason, but still said: "According to the rules, the love token between men and women, the man wants to give the woman a hairpin, and the woman sends a purse." After the marriage, the woman also has to give the outer robe, and after the marriage, she has to make the underwear and shoes and socks for the husband. Even those young ladies of the family are not exempt from vulgarity. ”

"This bullshit rule is really unfair to women. Men can spend money, but women have to sew with a needle, which is simply life. Bai Ling felt a headache just thinking about it.

A purse, I don't know how many stitches it takes to finish the work, Bai Ling didn't dare to imagine the scene of poking his fingers.

That's because women's money is not abundant, and being a female celebrity is also one of the ways to show women's virtue. The master is different from other women, but he doesn't have to worry about this, he can rely on his own preferences. ”

After Haitang finished speaking, he added: "Actually, the master can try to sew a word on the sweat towel or something, this is easier to get, and the subordinates feel that the prince will definitely cherish it more than receiving other gifts." ”

Bai Ling became entangled again, looking at his onion-like fingertips, and he didn't want to respond.

But this year, I really don't know what to give, and I don't have time to delay it any longer.

"If I think about it again, I really can't think of it, so let's do embroidery again." Bai Ling was still unwilling to embarrass himself, and he also thought that there was no need for this.

Don't say that you are guilty, you can't do embroidery at all, and Shangguan Yu can't use it!

Seeing that Bai Ling was immersed in his thoughts, Haitang went out and told the girl to prepare lunch, so he went to arrange what Bai Ling had just ordered.

Staying in the study at this time will only distract Bai Ling, and it will be even more difficult to think of a gift that suits his heart.

Border.

Shangguan Yu was also worried about giving Bai Ling a New Year's gift, looking at several boxes of jewelry, he always felt that he was not worthy of Bai Ling.

In the past few years, Bai Ling's good things have become more and more, but she is rarely seen wearing them, and Shangguan Yu knows that Bai Ling doesn't like these things so much.

The average woman would be overjoyed if she got so many jewels, but his little girl was different.

"Haring, in your tribe, if a man and a woman are married, what gifts will they give?" Shangguan Yu happened to receive Harlem who came to hand over the grain today, and the ghost envoy asked a question.

Because Bai Ling once took in Haring, Haring was grateful to Bai Ling, and Haring also had half Eastern Han blood, so Shangguan Yu gave Haring special care.

Every time Harlem came to borrow food, he was allowed to enter the city.

After all, although Haring's mother recognized her son, she lost her memory and refused to go back even though her ex-husband, Harlin's son always wanted to see his mother.

"Wolf Fang." Haring thought for a moment, and said expressionlessly: "In our tribe, women will give men scimitars, and men will give wolf teeth. The wolf's tooth is a mascot that can protect the safety of the owner, and also represents the heroism of the man and the protection of the woman's life. ”

Although Haring is not yet old enough to marry a wife, in a tribe like theirs, men and women are not very guarded, so Haring knows this.

"Wolf Fang." Shangguan Yu glanced at the wolf tooth on Haring's neck, but he had heard of this statement.

"Do you want to give it to Sister Bai Ling?" Haring asked.

"Hmm." Shangguan Yu nodded uncomfortably, glanced at Haring, who didn't understand the relationship between men and women, and added: "We're about to get married, but we haven't announced it yet." ”

Even though Haring was only a half-grown child, Shangguan Yu still listed him as a man to avoid having another rival in the future.

Even if he knew that Bai Ling couldn't like Harlem, Shangguan Yu still had to take precautions in advance and strangle all sources of danger in the cradle.

"When are you going to get married? Can I come to your engagement reception? Haring asked with a grimace.

"After the year, the marriage should be decided first, and the marriage should be in the summer." Shangguan Yu didn't dare to pack the ticket.

They are all very busy, Bai Xiaoshan does not participate in the Spring Festival, and it is impossible for Bai Ling to leave the capital.

How can a wedding banquet be made without a bride-to-be?

Seeing Haring nodding, Shangguan Yu said with disgust: "I keep a straight face all day long, and I'm not afraid that I won't be able to marry a daughter-in-law." ”

"There are many people in the tribe who want to marry me, and when I reach the age of Shangguan Shizi, I must have several children." Harlem narrated the general opening, but the choked Shangguan Yu wanted to beat people.

Shangguan Yu, who has never wronged himself, patted Haring on the shoulder and said, "Boy, let me see if you are good at kung fu." ”

Without giving Haring a chance to refuse, Shangguan Yu grabbed his shoulder and jumped, already more than ten meters away.

Poor Haring is destined to leave Zixiao City with a blue nose and swollen face, but he will still be full of fighting spirit, looking forward to competing with Shangguan Yu again next time.
