Chapter 973
These gifts, in fact, are New Year's gifts from the Lu family, to the Ruan family, the Chu family, and the two Peng families, it is expected to be sent to Hangzhou City around the twentieth day of the lunar month, but it is only a landslide, and the steward came half a month late.
Xi Feng didn't blame the steward, and ordered the kitchen to cook a table full of meals to entertain the steward and a group of guards who escorted the New Year's gifts.
After everyone had eaten and drunk enough, she sent Xiaohuzi to lead the steward and guards to Ruan's house first.
After Chu Lao'an learned that the steward of the Lu family was coming, he instructed Mrs. Chu, "You go and prepare more specialties of our Hangzhou City, and when Steward Lu returns to Beijing, I can bring them to the old princess and princess to taste." ”
Xi Feng prepared a lot of special snacks that Daddy and Auntie and Brother Jiuniang liked to eat, which were available in Hangzhou but not sold in Beijing.
She also packed ten small clothes she made for her nephew, put them in another small box, and put a few pairs of small shoes that the child wore after half a year old......
After filling all three small boxes, Xi Feng gave up.
Steward Lu and others stayed in Hangzhou for only two nights, and early in the morning of the third day, they set off back to the capital.
In the cold winter, the water in the lake has long frozen.
Even if the temperature in Hangzhou was slightly higher and not frozen, the lake in the capital had already frozen, and Steward Lu's group of people went back by land.
After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Chu Sanye officially went to the Hangzhou Yamen and took over the position of the prefect of Hangzhou.
And from this day on, the Chu family is in Hangzhou City, and it can be regarded as really standing in the highest position, and the Xu family, who was not convinced and wanted to jump before, was cowardly at this time, and just wanted to be like other people's families, wagging their tails to slap the Chu family.
It's just that the Chu family and the Xu family have had a grudge for a long time, even if the Chu family no longer cares about the past with the Xu family, they will not be stupid enough to dance with wolves and seek skin with tigers.
Even if the Chu family did not retaliate against the Xu family, the Xu family's life was not easy, and the huge family property was gradually shrinking, until a year later, the Xu family finally couldn't stand everyone's exclusion and moved to Suzhou City.
Since then, in Hangzhou City, only the Chu family is dominant.
Fortunately, the Chu family is a kind-hearted family, even if it has become the largest family in Hangzhou City, it has never bullied the weak.
Even the few families that were attached to the name of the Xu family before, the Chu family has never bullied others, but the other party is flattering, and the Chu family does not accept the other party, just let it develop and fend for itself.
In April, when the twins were half a year old, the Kang family in the capital wrote a letter, saying that the eighth sister's health was much better, and Kang Yuner wanted to take the eighth sister back to Hangzhou.
After Chu Lao'an read the letter, he instructed Mrs. Chu, "Eldest daughter-in-law, you reply to a letter in my name, and let the Kang family send the eighth sister back, but it is not easy for the second child to be alone in the northwest, after the Kang family came, he still sent someone to send her to serve the second child in the northwest, it is not okay for these two people to live separately like this, under the name of the second child, there is not even a sister-in-law." ”
There are more than ten male heirs of the third generation of the Chu family, and the Chu Laoan people don't care if Chu Di has a son-in-law, but the Kang family is a family spirit, and now the Chu family is harmonious, everyone gets along in harmony, is happy, and is happy.
Chu Lao'an people will not forget that when they were in the capital, the person who Kang originally wanted to calculate was the fourth, not the second.
