Chapter 156: On the eve of the feast
The next day, when Li Bokang went to the yamen, he asked the people in the yamen how many children there were in the family of the prefect Hu.
And she took her subordinates to the streets of the city for a long time.
Although it is now the autumn harvest, it has not affected the liveliness of the city, she didn't know how lively it was before, but now, she feels very prosperous.
She didn't know what to prepare for the gifts, so she was shopping haphazardly at first.
However, what she sees the most is those silver buildings, after all, women.
After shopping for a day, she didn't buy anything suitable, either it was too expensive, or she couldn't afford it.
Although she didn't buy the right one today, she wasn't in a hurry, there was still one day left tomorrow, and the big deal was to take that set of silver jewelry, it should still be okay.
However, although she didn't buy a suitable gift, she went to the silver building to get a lot of silver peanuts and whitebait, and she could get it tomorrow.
The silver peanuts and whitebait she hit were all about the same weight, and they were all two or three dollars a piece, but they looked different.
When it was time to go to bed at night, Li Bokang told her: "I have solved the matter of gifts, you don't have to worry." ”
"So fast, what are you preparing?" She was a little surprised.
"It's also a set of jewelry, if you want to see it, let's see it tomorrow morning, it's too late." Li Bokang replied.
"Okay, let's sleep."
The next day, she got up with Li Bokang.
After she saw what Li Bokang had prepared, she felt that the new set of jewelry that Li Bokang bought was also very beautiful and exquisite, but in her heart, it might be a little worse than the one she bought before.
However, the weight of this set of jewelry is a little heavier than that one, and she thinks the price may be about the same, and it may even be a little more expensive.
After reading it, she didn't think about the gift anymore, and then thought about the clothes and jewelry she would wear tomorrow.
If you want to make clothes, it's too late to do it now, so you can just wear the old ones, just choose two new sets that are suitable for tomorrow.
However, she thought that the gifts she had heard about before seemed to be in purses, and because their family didn't go out much, of course there were very few purses and the like.
Although she can also let the people in the family make it, she is also afraid that the style is too old, after all, the place where they used to live is still very backward for these popular things.
Thinking about it, she ordered someone to go to the embroidery shop outside to buy some popular purses.
After that, she began to pick out clothes for the family to wear tomorrow.
The children are okay, the children grow up fast, and she loves the children, basically she will make them a body every month.
And she and Li Bokang are going to waste some time, because she doesn't go out much on weekdays, and the clothes she wears on weekdays are also ordinary, basically made of cotton, after all, cotton clothes are comfortable to wear.
This time she came here, and it was the first time Li Bokang went to this kind of banquet after Ren Tongzhi, and she didn't want to embarrass Li Bokang.
In the end, she chose a dress that was many years old, and it was made of the silk given by the Emperor.
At first, she put it away after making it and wearing it twice, and although the satin dress looked good, she felt that it was not as comfortable as cotton, so she put it on hold and rarely wore it again.
As for Li Bokang, it is not very difficult, although he usually wears official clothes on weekdays, but she still makes him a lot of clothes.
And the style of men's clothes is those two, but there will be no result of whether it is outdated or not, just that the clothes may not be so new.
As for jewelry and the like, she also thought about it, her jewelry is actually not lacking, she has a lot of gold, silver and jade.
It's just that this time she wanted to keep a low profile, so in the end, she only chose a simple set of jewelry made of silver.
That's it, all you have to do is wait for tomorrow.
By the way, there was one more thing she almost forgot, and that was the question of who she was going to bring tomorrow.
When she goes to the prefect's house tomorrow, they can't take things by themselves, it will definitely be looked down upon, and it will go against her original intention.
She thought about it, and it seemed that there were not many people in the family who could let her take away, and there was almost only one spring grass.
As for the rest, there doesn't seem to be anything for her to bring, such as Chunhua's sister-in-law, Chunhua's sister-in-law is a cook, she understands the rules on the big picture, but she doesn't understand some subtleties so much, and then she is afraid that she will offend people if she doesn't understand the rules.
In fact, if you are serious, the rules of their subordinates are very good in the general mansion, but they are too bad for the people in this mansion.
It's just that, despite this, she still wants to bring the best people in the family, so it seems that there is only spring grass from the short one.
Actually, if she hadn't let Chunyue out, it would have been best to take Chunyue, but there was no way, Chunyue had already been released by her, and it was not so suitable to take her now.
Thinking about it this way, she felt that their family needed to buy a few more subordinates, preferably the ones that had been trained.
However, she also knows that if such a person hadn't made a mistake and been sold, he would generally not have flowed out, so there was basically no such opportunity.
Of course, there is also a possibility that the master's family committed a heinous crime and was exterminated, or it offended people and ruined the family.
However, there are very few such opportunities, so it is difficult for her idea to come to fruition.
At night, before going to bed, before Li Bokang could bring it up to him, he told her: "Shumo is not here, you can bring Laixing with you tomorrow." ”
"But what if I took Laixing away and you do, didn't Laixing always follow you?" She listened a little disappreciatively, Shumo didn't come to Xing these days, but she has been following him, and she always feels uneasy when no one follows him.
"I'm fine, what will happen if I stay in the yamen, I will be more worried if you go to the banquet." Moreover, I don't bring no people, I will take Lai'an with me, Lai'an has been with me for a while, and it's the same with him. Li Bokang also insisted.
"However, it's not like I don't take people with me, I'll take Chuncao with me, and An Yang is also old, Kang Kang is still very obedient outside, not to mention Niannian, she has always been very well-behaved...... she explained.
"No, you also said it, An Yang is old, he may not be with you then, you better take Laixing with you."
"Then it's the same as you said, when the time comes, won't he still be separated from us, so it's almost the same whether you bring it or not."
"But I'll be a little more relieved if you bring it with you." Li Bokang also insisted.
Seeing that he insisted on not regressing, she finally compromised and promised him to take Laixing with her.
And Li Bokang was relieved to see that she agreed.
