The weather was cold in the twilight of the year, and with the permission of the Ulanala clan, and seeing that the weather outside was really bad, Huizhu never went out of the hospital in the following days.

During the day, Huizhu stayed on the pit to make needlework for Huizhen's daughter, or accompanied Hongli to read and play, until her body was sore, so she went to the courtyard to wander around, breathe in the fresh air, and wake up. In the evening, most of Yinzhen will come over to eat, and often bring some things to Huizhu's mother and son to play time, after all, there is very little to watch and play in winter, and the rich families in the capital are generally idle in the house in winter, so there is a good time to sleep in winter.

However, although Yinzhen often comes, he has been with him several times, and he will leave after staying for an hour. In this way, Huizhu's heart was a little moved by Yinzhen's seemingly little care, and she was alerted to some realities that she had to face. But these days, some of Yinzhen's occasional intimate actions still make Huizhu feel a lot of goodwill.

For example, Yin Chen knew that Huizhu was interested in Western languages and the like, so he brought some Western scripts over, some of these books are in the original text, and some are Chinese miscellaneous translations, which seem quite troublesome, but they make Huizhu like it very much, can't let go, and by the way, Yin Chen's smile is also a little more sincere.

On the other hand, compared to Huizhu's comfortable days of shaking off the shopkeeper, Su Xin was so busy that she was so busy with the soles of her feet facing the sky, taking a large yard of people to clean the courtyard, posting couplets, painting paste, hanging notes, pasting new paintings and window flowers, arranging the kitchen to make snacks, steaming rice cakes, dumplings, and dealing with the money and grain stewards in the house.

Su Xin has been taking care of these trivial things with Huizhu all these years, and this year, because Huizhu has a body, she has taken it on alone, and she is a lot busier than in previous years. Su Xin is also used to the affairs of this year's festival, and everything is still taken care of in an orderly manner.

However, in the blink of an eye, it is already the twenty-third day of the lunar month, and the things of the new year are all prepared, so there is no need to worry about it. But Mr. Kewen still didn't give a reply, and he didn't know if the fur was bought, but it made Su anxious. Thinking that he would have to give the gift tomorrow afternoon at the latest, he had to take a spare time, entered the house and said to Huizhu: "Master, it's been ten days, and Manager Wen hasn't done any good news, so this thing can't be done." ”

In the house, Huizhu is crooked on the wool carpet with Hongli, playing with building blocks, this building block is Huizhu saw Hongli four years old, recalling the memory of the previous life, specially painted some patterns, found a carpenter to make it purposely, put together a kind of puzzle toy, so that Hongli can also use his brain to think about things when playing, but there is the meaning of entertaining.

At this time, Huizhu listened to Su Xin's words to come to the Tao, frowned almost invisibly, and smiled again to let Hongli play by himself, only then did he raise his hand slightly, looked at Su Xin, Su Xin knew what it meant, hurriedly leaned over, helped Huizhu to stand up, went to sit down on the kang and said: "It seems that I have to move the decoration, divide it into three parts and send it to prepare for the New Year's gift." ”

Huizhu was silent, and suddenly said: "There are some rumors in other courtyards, I rely on the body to be arrogant and rude, don't take Fujin in my eyes, and don't go to the morning morning." Su Xin was stunned, and said with a stiff smile: "Master, don't think too much, how can you hear such nonsense." Huizhu raised her eyes at Su Xin, chuckled, and said, "It's okay, I didn't think much about it, but I just overheard Xiao Ranzi muttering on the side, and I knew." Speaking of this, he waved his hand at Su Xin, who was eager to speak, and said: "Since the last time Fujin was rectified, there has been no gossip for a long time, and this time someone should have instructed it." In fact, if you think about it, it doesn't hurt, and after a while, there will be fewer words. It's just that I don't wait for any more news from Mr. Wen, this has been dragging on for several days, well, after a while, you will go to pack up and decorate and send all the New Year's gifts that should be given. Su Xin answered the words and went out, and went outside to find Xiao Ranzi and trained him fiercely, before he was busy making the New Year's gift to be sent.

After eating at noon, Su Xin took care of the things he sent and took the list to Huizhu. For a while, Huizhu was holding the list, and Su Xin was thinking about what was missing, only to see Xiao Ranzi open the curtain and enter the house and say, "Master, Mr. Wen asks to see you." After hearing this, Huizhu and Su Xin glanced at each other, and they both estimated that they had bought fur.

Out of the back room, I saw Mr. Wen, and when I asked, I really bought it, and these three furs are not only good, but one is also hunted down in the coldest mountain in the Northeast, and now, the New Year's gift sent will not need to be replaced by ornaments, so that Huizhu is quite satisfied with the efficiency of Mr. Wen, but when the other half of the silver is handed over to Mr. Wen, Huizhu is flesh pain for a long time. Because of the New Year's Festival, everything is much more expensive than usual, especially the fur transported from the Northeast costs a full 1,200 taels of silver, plus the cost of the other two, it is seven or eight hundred taels of silver higher than the original budget, which makes Huizhu's face black for a long time.

But Huizhu's money is indeed not wronged, although she bought the fur outside the customs at a high price, and also bought an extremely rare pure white tiger skin, but it made a lot of rumors in the house disappear.

The pure white tiger skin was sent to the hands of the Ulanala clan, and everyone saw that Huizhu's good fur was filial to the Ulanala clan, and they couldn't find fault with the Guanwai fur they used, even if they had other ideas in their hearts, it was not good to say it again.

In the next few days, the person who received Huizhu's New Year's gift also made face, and saw that Huizhu sent a very generous Lilly, so he borrowed this step, and intended to show goodwill with Huizhu, such as Li's and Nian's sent their personal grandmothers to send a return gift, and Song's and Wuya's likes personally brought a return gift to visit. All of a sudden, Huizhu Courtyard is like a market, and there is an endless stream of people who come to visit the door and go to the New Year's ceremony. In this way, Huizhu has re-entered this small circle in the house since she closed the hospital a month ago to recuperate.

After these people who had to live a period of time, they came to Chinese New Year's Eve and began to be busy again. In the morning, Huizhu got up early in the morning, took Hongli, and followed the Ulanala clan into the palace. When she arrived in Yonghe Palace, Concubine De didn't seem to have a snub for the past year, so she took Huizhu's hand affectionately and said, "Good boy, I know that you are a blessed person, and you should have a three-month body now, right?" Well, take care of it, wait for the summer, and give birth to a fat grandchild in this palace. Huizhu was silent, looking down shyly, avoiding the gaze of everyone.

Seeing this, Concubine De laughed and said, "Shallow face, I'm still a shallow person all these years." Wulanala glanced at Huizhu, pursed her lips and smiled: "Eniang, don't talk about it, Sister Niu Colu hasn't changed since she first entered the mansion, if you make fun of her like this again, her face will be red to her neck." Hearing this, everyone laughed.
