Chapter 14 Gifts from the Hou Mansion

In the evening, when the family sat down to eat, Liu Tonghammer told everyone about the matter, and warned everyone not to talk about it.

Zhao was surprised, but he knew how powerful it was, so he didn't gnaw.

I thought in my heart, this eldest sister has to be coaxed well, this is the God of Wealth!

In the evening, Fang came to Pearl's room, the three sisters were writing, Fang sat on the kang and said to Pearl, "Send Zhao some silver?" ”

This was said to her by Pearl, "Let's send it, the province will be picked up in the future, and it is also the face of our family, Xiucai's daughter, I'm afraid that I won't obey my mother's discipline when I enter the house, and I won't obey my eldest brother and sister, I gave Zhao's money, she is balanced, she has confidence in her heart, and she will be able to deter it in the future." ”

Fang Shi thought about it, and then said, "What do those four pairs of bracelets mean?" ”

Pearl smiled and said, "Give the Liu family a pair!" I think she's quite smart, but her family is poor. She is the eldest sister-in-law, the new daughter-in-law has so many dowry gifts, and a pair of bracelets, don't give her a pair, I'm afraid that you will be biased in the future. ”

"Humph! I can't keep it for her, and it's not for my mother's family. ”

Pearl thought for a while, sat down beside Fang's side, took Fang's hand and said, "If our family is poor, and I marry a rich family in the future, do you also want me to ignore my mother's family?" You secretly give your eldest brother some money and let him personally go to your father-in-law's house, which is much better than the Zhao family stealing to make up for it. Secretly giving, people don't appreciate it and don't thank it, and the Zhao family has to complain that we don't have relatives. Let the bangs go, then it's different, since you can't leave it alone, why not let the bangs go, our family has a reputation, and the Zhao family has nothing to say, in the future, only those who will serve you and your father more diligently will not secretly make up for their mother's family. ”

Erniu sat down, she was also seventeen years old, and she could still talk about these things, "Mother, I think the eldest sister is right, how much is a pair of bracelets?" Let's not talk about three or four taels of silver, right? You just ask the eldest brother to send five taels of silver. If sister-in-law has other ideas, we will have something to say. ”

Fang nodded, "That's the truth. ”

After speaking, he asked, "What are you buying so many fabrics for, it's a pity that they are all such good fabrics." I also bought silk and satin materials. Don't you have a lot of them? ”

"I'm wearing all the fresh and tender materials that the girl's family wears. I bought these pieces, thinking that during the Chinese New Year, I would have to give gifts to my younger brother's masters, and besides, if the second girl gets married, it is just right to give this to the old man of my mother-in-law's family. The muslin cloth was used to make clothes for our family, and in the future it could be put into the dowry. The white muslin can be used as a quilt and as a shirt. ”

"You kid, you can really spend money indiscriminately."

Fang Shi said, then took out a cloth bag from his arms, opened it and put it on the kang, and the pearl saw that it was 15 taels of silver, five taels and one ingot.

"Mother, this is ......"

"New Year's money for the three of you sisters. You don't have much money over the years. ”

Pearl took it with a smile, the second girl and the third girl are so happy, so much money!

Pearl handed them two silver ingots.

Then he discussed with the Fang family about letting Liu Hai send flowers to the capital.

Fang was worried that it would not be safe for Liu Hai to go, so he simply waited to buy the field back and let Liu Tongzhu follow.

Pearl thought about it and agreed.

Early the next morning, Liu Tonghammer took his son to the county, and did not come back until the next morning, buying three villages next door, a total of 60 acres of good land, plus the money of the tooth shop, a total of 490 taels.

Their family has more than 130 acres of land, but they are really landlords.

Liu Tonghammer and his family mean that these fields will not be kept for their own families, and when the three sisters get married, they will also accompany the fields.

Fang gave Liu Hai another five taels of silver, leaving 40 taels of silver.

This money should be kept until the beginning of spring, and it will be enough.

The next day, let Liu Tonghammer take Liu Hai to the capital, and strive to rush back before the New Year, this time sent twelve pots of flowers to the house, blue, yellow, black, red and two-color roses, peony is also good, a three-color peony, two Qiao, black peony, sea yellow, the first case of red and green peony.

There are also five or six colors of bowl lotus, especially the blue bowl lotus, which is very beautiful, and the pearl has kept a pot for itself.

In addition to sending these flowers to the old lady, for most of the month, Pearl was busy making down jackets for the old lady, the down jacket is in the space, and the size of the old lady is just right, but the face is not good.

Removed the coat surface, found a piece of camel-colored thick satin brought out from the house, embroidered gold leaf peony, the collar of the clothes still put the brown big lapel fur that was originally on the clothes, and the position of the wrist is also a large circle of fox fur, looking very dignified and elegant.

For the eldest lady is a shawl with long fox fur on a black background taken from the space.

The shawls of the other ladies were also taken from the mink shop in the space, and the appearance and materials were different, so that they could also be distinguished from the high, and the eldest lady was to highlight the status.

For a few ladies in the house, Pearl found a few delicate bottles filled with modern moisturizers and sealed them with wax.

There are also ones for the four ladies, but the taste is different, and there is more wrinkle removal function.

There are three young masters in the house, all of whom are the grandsons of the old lady's relatives, and they are also familiar with Pearl, Pearl can also be said to be half of their teachers, and the three grandsons are all raised by the old lady, with different statuses, Pearl gave a down jacket coat, and the fur collar on it is left, as long as you change your face.

Their shopping malls sell high-end goods.

In the letter to the old lady, Pearl told a lot of things, and also gave the old lady a filial piety skin cream, this is the best, to remove age spots.

Pearl explained that she bought it by chance when she met an overseas merchant, and she used it well, so she honored her masters.

I also explained that if you don't like the surface of the clothes, you can peel off the outer layer and replace it with other fabrics.

He also told the old lady to eat less spicy things in winter and be obedient.

Before leaving, Pearl packed a lot of food for Liu Tonghammer and Liu Hai, and there was a charcoal fire in the car, which should not make the two of them suffer any major crimes, be careful on the road, how to take care of flowers and plants, etc.

Let them go to the side of the Hou Mansion to go to Uncle Santang, let him introduce him, and bring them ten taels of silver on the way, and the expenses of this road are enough.

Pearl has already embroidered four sets of quilts, and now she continues to embroider pillowcases.

Fang also told her not to be too tired, it would be bad if it affected her eyes.

The weather was just right on this day, and the three sisters were huddled on the kang to embroider, and from time to time, the second and third girls also had to ask for advice.

The curtain of the fierce door was lifted, and Qiangzi suddenly ran in, "Auntie, auntie, I want to have a snack." ”

Pearl looked at him with a smile and said, "Qiangzi, what did my aunt say last time, didn't you have to knock on the door first when you enter the house?" ”

"I forgot."

Qiangzi was a little frustrated, the eldest aunt didn't give him food at the moment, this happened last time, because he grabbed meat to eat when he ate, and the eldest aunt punished him for not eating meat for that meal, and even his grandparents and parents didn't dare to speak, and he didn't eat meat alone during that meal.
