Chapter 22: Chinese New Year's Eve

Chun Xing asked the copper to send something else, just a handkerchief, and the handkerchief was embroidered with spring plum blossoms.

She ran an errand and went to the North Courtyard, and stuffed some silver money into the hands of the maid outside the door, helping to give the handkerchief to the young master in the gate of the North Courtyard.

Although he didn't know why he sent a handkerchief, Zitong didn't think much about it, but he ran an errand and went back for a while to follow him to Zhutangyuan.

Every year, the Zhutang Courtyard is the day of the big prize at the end of the year, from the ladies to the aunts and girls, and then to the maids, but everyone who goes to the Zhutang Courtyard has to ask for a reward.

At this time, the people came back, and Zhu Jiu was about to go to Zhutang Courtyard with Chunxing.

"Girl, slave and maid go too." Zitong met her own girl outside the door, and she hadn't changed her clothes yet!

When Zhu Jiu heard this, a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, "Zitong, don't go over first, there is something to send you to busy tonight, so I will rest in the courtyard." ”

"Huh?" When Zitong heard this, his little face drooped, and his eyes were red: "Girl....."

Chun Xing stood aside, looking at her grievances, she had to take half a corner of silver and stuff it into her hand: "The girl is how to explain you, and you can't ask for much when you go to Zhutangyuan, this should always work?" ”

The maid next to the girl, if it is not a first-class personal maid, it is indeed impossible to ask for much age.

Hearing this, Zitong puffed out his cheeks and nodded.

After a while, Zhu Jiu took Chun Xing to Zhutang Courtyard.

"Girl, the slave is stupid, I don't know what the purpose of the handkerchief is to send to the North Courtyard." Although she helped her get the handkerchief, Chunxing never understood.

Hearing Chun Xing's question, Zhu Jiu slightly gathered the cloak on his body and walked to the corridor of his hand.

After half a ring, he said casually with his eyes squinted: "You need to be an example to kill chickens, and when you get to Zhutangyuan, you can remember what I told you?" ”

"Yes, the slaves and maids remember!" Chun Xing responded.

Zhu Jiu didn't speak anymore, as for the purpose of the handkerchief, others don't know, but Zhu Ling and the young master of the North Courtyard must know.

She has little to do with her sister, but she should suffer a little from her mouth.

On the morning of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the old men and ladies of each room, the aunts and girls and boys all arrived at the Zhutang Courtyard.

After Zhu Jiu arrived at Zhutang Courtyard, Chun Xing beside him looked at it for a while, and saw that Aunt Jin was asking her mother-in-law to prepare things, and immediately walked over quickly.

"Aunt Jin is good." Chun Xing stepped forward to speak, and Aunt Jin glanced at her and then looked behind her.

Zhu Jiu stood not far away, smiling and greeting.

Aunt Jin smiled at Chunxing: "Miss Zhujiu, but you have something to do with the old slave?" ”

"My girl thought of Aunt Jin's goodness, and asked the slave maid to send a New Year's gift." Chun Xing said and stuffed the heavy purse into Aunt Jin's hand.

Aunt Jin accepted it when she saw this, and Chun Xing then said: "My girl can't swallow it these days, and she always thinks about the lotus root in the fish pond in the back mountain, and I hope that Aunt Jin will let people run at night." ”

The fish pond in the back mountain was not originally from the South Courtyard, but from the Fourth Courtyard.

If you want to get lotus roots, the girls have to ask the housewife. Now that the year is over, the housewives are busy again, and the mention of this matter will make the housewives unhappy.

"It's just a trivial matter, and when the old slave is busy at night, he will send someone to pick up some and send them." Hearing Aunt Jin's reply, Chun Xing saluted slightly, "Then there is Aunt Lao Jin." ”

Zhutangyuan was in the big prize early in the morning, up to the lady and down to the maid.

After rewarding, this is the time to give a New Year's gift.

Zhu Jiu also prepared things, and she made her own handkerchief.

Because there is no aunt to prepare, and there is no aunt outside the mother's family to come with a little rarity, the only thing that can be taken out is the female red.

Zhu Ling, who was sitting next to Zhu Jiu at this time, glanced at her, and said to the maid beside him: "Ling'er, quickly take out the things I prepared and put them on the table, and I will enter the inner hall in a while." ”

Zhu Ling entered the main courtyard, and her aunt had her mother's family outside the door, and when she learned about it, she had to send good things.

Ling'er replied and put the prepared items on the plate.

The girls who came out of the door looked at it, and they were all envious and sighed.

"Sister Zhuling is really amazing, this time she is here to please the ancestors!"

"It's not, the ancestors love to read the Buddha on weekdays, and they also do what they like."

"That bead looks good when you look at it, isn't it a glass bead from outside the Guan?"

Zhu Lingbei's thing is a glass bracelet, and this glass bead is a rare thing on weekdays.

Aunt Seven's mother's family is in business, and she often runs outside the gates.

There are many barbarians outside the gate, and the caravan is usually reluctant to go, and it is also because the seventh aunt's mother's family took a barbarian woman to enter the door for this trade route.

The glass beads over there are not common things, and they are even more rare when it comes to the apocalypse.

Listening to the words of the sisters, Zhu Lingxiao said with pride on his face: "Since it is a bracelet made of glass beads, it is warm in winter and cool in summer, and the appearance of the beads is silky and not grinding. ”

She said, glancing at Zhu Jiu beside her: "It's not that I have a unique heart, all sisters and sisters have a heart." But I wish Sister Jiu, what is it in your hand? Look at it is just a quick rag, this mind is ingenious. I'm afraid that my sister will be self-defeating, and I won't be happy with my ancestors. ”

"Sister Zhuling, what are you talking about? I wish Sister Jiu has a heart, but after all, she is in a tight situation, so you should say a few words. "It's the girl who speaks at this time, and she is from Aunt Yu in the door.

Look at the softness and weakness, and speak softly.

Zhu Jiu raised his eyes and ignored Zhu Ling.

After a while, it was the turn of the girls to enter the hall in the third room, and the girls went in one by one.

The glass bead bracelet sent by Zhu Ling really made the ancestors shine, the beads were finely worked, and it was indeed pleasing to look at the smooth and transparent.

"Glass beads have always been rare, and the girl bothered." The old ancestor opened his mouth, and Yu's mother answered beside him: "This Zhuling girl just entered the main courtyard in the three-room gate of the South Courtyard a while ago to be taught. ”

The old ancestor nodded, "If you have nothing to do, you can go to the Zhutang Courtyard to walk around and talk to my old man." ”

"Ambiguous, as long as the ancestors don't dislike me for disturbing the purity, I will definitely come to the hall every day in the future." Zhu Ling spoke quite steadily.

The girl who enters the main courtyard may not be able to enter the Zhutang courtyard and please the ancestors.

If it is pleasing to him, his family affairs in the future will be much better than that of other girls who enter the main courtyard, just like the girl who came out of the house.

It can be seen that Aunt Seven's mother's family has put a lot of thought into this matter.

After Zhu Ling spoke, the next one was Zhu Jiu.

Zhu Jiu lowered his eyes to the ancestor, and the tray in his hand was dedicated to the yarn he had made with his own hands.

It is not remarkable at first glance, especially the fabric used is not even comparable to ordinary silk. Zhu Ling, who was waiting on the side, had schadenfreude in his eyes, and he was sure to see the show.
