Chapter Eighty-Six: Heavy Gifts Don't Cost Much

"You mean ——, Pingnan County Lord? She can't do things alone, and she can't wait for everyone in the Shen family. ”

"Isn't there another girl? Xuan girl is very popular. Also, don't forget, if a woman is open-minded, sometimes she is three points more ruthless than a man, how do you know that the county lord of Pingnan is not good? As long as people are shameless, what else can't be done? ”

"You mean ......, it's unlikely, right?"

"What's impossible? She originally wanted to enter the Shen family not only for our fifth brother, but now she has added a Xuan girl - I am afraid that both of them have the possibility of getting out; As long as we ......"

"There's some truth to what you're saying; It's just that Xuan girl is her, I think it's unlikely that she really has other thoughts about the fifth brother; She is a girl's family, how can she have such a mind; Only the kind of shameless person would ......" she was interrupted.

"It is not uncommon for her to have no father or mother, and to plan for her future, but in terms of virtue she is indeed at a loss; However, you see that the two old immortals in our family are embarrassed to pretend that they don't know anything, hum! On weekdays, we just talk about etiquette, rules, morality, etc., and now it's not Tu Xuan's net worth? ”

"What do those two old immortals have to say?! But even if this is the case, can only the two of them be unmarried? Also, haven't you always been interested in Xuan? Let her do this, so that everyone in the whole house will know about it in the future, how can you let her in the door? ”

"Don't underestimate the two of them, they are much more capable than us; One is the lord of the county, the other is wealthy, and the fifth brother of our family is favored, do you think they will be stronger than us? You didn't fall in love with Xuan? But she has such a net worth, so naturally she can't make a big house, otherwise will there be a place for us to eat in the future? ”

The man's voice paused and said: "As for you and me, when the time comes, it will be up to Miss Xuan to see which brother she likes—if you get her, you will get gold and silver, but you can't hurt our harmony because of her; You don't have to test me, I remember what I said; Now let her fight with the county lord and pester the fifth brother to be beneficial and harmless to us; At that time, she will not have the face to ask for a big house, isn't it better? ”

Two low women's laughter rang out.

The woman who spoke at the end began to speak again, "But the current situation is not very good, but how can the two of them fight?" can't let that happy girl watch the excitement from the sidelines; What I just meant was that we could do something small to make the county lord and the girl understand how the Shen family valued this happy girl, so that they would no longer ignore her; Roundhouse? Hehe, that's a good show. ”

"Yes, that makes sense! I think she is very idle every day, so she should find something to do for her; Let's move some hands and feet to make them fight together, how can it be so easy to round the house? Besides, don't you have to pick two girls for the fifth brother to teach him personnel, aren't we ....... ”

"It's best not to do anything about this, that old immortal is shrewd! Otherwise, she would have been sent to the ancestral grave by us a long time ago, where would she still be pointing fingers. There was a twelve-point resentment in his words.

……

Finally, the two of them seemed to have made up their minds.

"Then I'll go, and you should rest early; Ming'er is in her thirties of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and she is tired. ”

"Well, it's late in the day, and you have to be careful when you walk; You can rest early when you go back, and everyone will be as tired tomorrow. ”

It's Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone in the Shen family got up early, and everyone laughed.

The whole Shen family changed into the clothes they wore on the first day of last year's Lunar New Year - meaning a complete year with a beginning and an end; People were busy and began to paste Spring Festival couplets, hang lanterns and so on; There are still many trivial things to be busy in and outside the house, so the people of the Shen family will not all gather at Shen Laozu, and they will still have their own houses and rooms.

Shen Miaoge and Red Sleeves didn't have much to do; After breakfast, Shen Miaoge asked Ying Shu to study the ink, and wrote seven big blessing characters in a row: one for himself and one in the courtyard of the red sleeves, and then sent someone to Shen Laozu and Mrs. Shen, as well as Mrs. Shen; The remaining two were for his second and fifth uncles.

Red Sleeves watched him write on the side, and said with a smile: "It's really good that you write the word 'Fu', why don't you write a few more other words to add some joy?" ”

Shen Miaoge deliberately made a bitter face: "This is the unwritten rule of the Shen family, and the eldest son of each room writes the word 'Fu'; You don't know how much hard work I put into this word so that I don't get laughed at by my cousins; Write a few more, you really don't know how distressed people are. ”

Only then did Red Sleeves understand why Shen Miaoge sent blessings to the second uncle and the fifth uncle's family: the second uncle's family has no children, and the fifth uncle has not continued since the death of his wife, and the concubines have nothing to do, and they still have no children and no daughters.

When Red Sleeves heard Shen Miaoge's words, she suddenly remembered the customs of the previous life, and had a good idea in her heart: she and Shen Miaoge gave New Year's gifts to the Shen family, but there was nothing too surprising.

Although it will not be criticized, it will not let the masters of the Shen family's room notice the filial piety of their young couple.

The red sleeve wrote a word and asked Shen Miaoge: "Do you know?" It is a combined character composed of the four words "Fortune and Treasure".

Shen Miaoge looked at it for a while and said, "It's not a word, right?" ”

Red Sleeves nodded: "Do you know?" "It seems that Shen Miaoge seems to be seeing it for the first time, so no one will be better than her and Shen Miaoge in this year's New Year's gift!

"Let me see, let me take a good look." Shen Miaoge looked at the time of half a cup of tea and said: "This word is written by the four characters of fortune and treasure, right?" ”

Red Sleeves smiled: "That's right!" ”

Shen Miaoge looked at this word and suddenly smiled: "Fifth Uncle must like this word you came up with, you wait for me, I'll practice and then write a good one for Fifth Uncle; Let the girl prepare a bigger paper for us - this word must be big to look good and have courage. He excitedly picked up the pen and wrote: "The fifth uncle received this word, and he will definitely wrap a big red envelope for me after the New Year's Eve tonight." ”

Red Sleeves slapped him with a smile when he heard Shen Miaoge's last words: "I thought you were just here to honor the fifth uncle, but it turned out that it was just for a red envelope!" ”

After Shen Miaoge wrote the fortune and treasure, he turned around and saw a strange word; With the experience of the previous word, he only looked at it for half a moment and said: "Fu Lu Shouquan? ”

Red Sleeves smiled and nodded again: "For the New Year, we must also do our filial piety in front of the elders such as the ancestors and Mrs. Tai." ”

Shen Miaoge was overjoyed when she heard this, and then looked up at Red Sleeves: "How did you come up with it?" ”

"It's the New Year's Day, and we always have to let the elders know our filial piety; But what do we have, what do the elders such as the ancestor and the lady don't have? The things we send are so commonplace, that's why I came up with such an idea, do you think it's okay? Redsleeves had already thought of the wording and said it unhurriedly.

"Done! It's so done! Shen Miaoge didn't ask Red Sleeves anything more: he had always believed in Sleeve's words, and in his opinion, his Sleeve was the smartest, and it was not unusual for him to come up with such a brilliant idea; He went to practice again.

Red Sleeves knows a few words, and these combined words are all ancient characters, not only Shen Miaoge can recognize them, but other people in the Shen family can also recognize them when they see it: It's the New Year, first, to have a happy picture, and secondly, of course, it's for the favor of the Bo Shen family.

The county lord of Pingnan and Miss Xuan are all eyeing each other, and there is also an aunt and grandmother Shen who have always wanted to stuff their daughter in: they are all stammering with the Shen family; Of course, Red Sleeves won't do it as deliberately as they do, but she certainly won't be less able to do what she can and should do.

Like now, Red Sleeves will naturally not be stingy to do it: juniors should look like juniors.

Red Sleeves wrote a non-hedonic character to Shen Miaoge: This is for Shen Laohou and his son; She didn't write the other words again, three words were enough.

The time and space she wore was a little strange, although there was a tradition of Confucius and Mencius, but it was not any dynasty she knew; However, the text is the same as that of ancient China, otherwise she would not have written these three combined characters.

Shen Miaoge spent a few hours writing three combined characters: mainly practice; After the words were written, Shen Miaoge was so tired that his back hurt, and he stretched his waist: "The ancestors will definitely like it, and my grandfather and father will definitely like it; It's hard to figure it out. ”

Red Sleeves smiled and squinted his eyes: "Well, when the time comes, let's say that the two of us can come up with it together?" "People's hearts are naturally to be bought, but the limelight can't be too strong.

Shen Miaoge turned his head and glanced at her: "You came up with it, you came up with it, what is there to hide." ”

Red Sleeves glanced at him: "Didn't you say yes, this gift was given by us together." ”

Shen Miaoge immediately thought of the word husband and wife, and was drunk at that time, nodding and agreeing; The beauty in his heart: Sleeves have to think about him in everything, and God really loves himself to have a wife like this. Thinking like this, the more he looked at the red sleeves, the more his heart beat harder, and after looking at it for a moment, he suddenly turned his head and didn't dare to look again.

Looking at it again, he knew that he was afraid that he would not be able to help but burst into red sleeves again.

Red Sleeves didn't know what he was thinking, so he let him rest in a daze, and called the girls to come in and put the words away; Then, she and Shen Miaoge took these words and sent them to Shen Laozu and the others.

Shen Laozu's room was very lively, Shen Laohou and his wife, Shen Houye and his wife, and Shen Wu were all there, and the house was full of laughter; Red Sleeves and Shen Miaoge were secretly happy when they saw it: As long as they go to the second uncle again, it really saves a lot of trouble.

Mrs. Shen smiled when she saw the red-sleeved people coming in: "Just as I was talking about them, they came." Then he smiled softly at Redsleeves.
