Pearl motioned to the third girl to find him a snack. Qiangzi took the snack, then he was relieved, and ate it in small bites, Pearl asked, "Qiangzi, where is your mother?" ”

"I went to my grandmother's house with my dad."

Pearl nodded and sighed, the second girl saw it on the side, and said secretly, or my sister has the ability, she gave the eldest brother five taels of silver, the Fang family took five taels of silver for the eldest brother, and Liu Hai saw the father-in-law and mother-in-law, prescribed medicine, and gave five taels of silver to the family.

Now the Zhao family has no plans to move his bracelet and hairpin, thinking of faing with his in-laws and sisters-in-law.

If there were fewer sour words and thorns in this family, it would be a lot more harmonious.

Pearl also often sent Zhao's bird's nest to drink, Zhao hurt his body when he gave birth to a strong son, but now it is much better, the last time I saw the doctor, it was said that it was a good time to raise it, and it can still be born.

The stone in Zhao's heart fell to the ground, and he had a greater sense of belonging at home.

A few days before the Chinese New Year, Mrs. Jing came and showed Pearl three families, but the Fang family secretly went to look for it, and they all felt that they were not worthy of the eldest daughter.

Mrs. Wang also introduced the families in the two towns, but Fang felt that the two families were both engaged in business, and their own families also had shops, and they were a little worse in family affairs, and Pearl could write and calculate, and they were proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so such people still did not accompany them.

However, Erniu's family affairs are a bit eyebrow-raising, she is the eldest apprentice of Liu He's master, and now she is the general manager in the nearby barracks, and she is twenty years old this year, because her father died, and she has been filial piety for three years, and the original family affairs are yellow.

The family has twenty acres of land, an old mother and two unmarried sisters.

Liu He also came back and said that this senior brother is very good.

Now I'm waiting to see each other.

After that, Liu Tongzhu took Liu Hai to the town to rent a horse, pulled his own car, and sent things to the Hou Mansion.

In the days that followed, considering the situation at home, Pearl pulled her sisters to make snacks.

It's done, and I brought some to the dim sum shop in Zhuozhou, and the shop over there thought it was good and was happy to accept it.

Pearl asked Fang to hold the cardboard folding box, and the box was pasted with paper-cutting, and the patterns of the paper-cutting were all auspicious patterns, and there were also marks of Yonghe dim sum.

A total of five kinds of dim sum are made, walnut cake, red bean cake, chrysanthemum cake, wife cake and crystal mung bean cake.

It wasn't until 10 days before the Chinese New Year that they stopped doing it.

Each box of dim sum earned 20 yuan, and for more than 20 days, I earned a total of 23 taels of silver.

It can be regarded as a solution to the urgent need of the family.

In recent days, the affairs of the family have been handed over to the Fang family and the Zhao family, and the kitchen is often occupied, so the family has been eating very simply.

I don't have to make pastries, I can finally eat some good ones, but Liu Tongzhu and Liu Hai at home are not at home, they are not good at eating by themselves, and the Fang family must wait for her husband and eldest son to come back.

However, Pearl bought a big bone soup for everyone to drink, and it is still very popular.

Now even Zhao feels that his health is much better.

Hadron is even fatter.

The night before the New Year, Liu Tonghammer came back with bangs and a cart full of things.

After unloading the car and seeing a bunch of things on the ground and on the square table in the living room, Liu Tonghammer smiled and said to Pearl, "The old lady is very happy, and she invited me to see it, saying that she likes the clothes you make very much, and those flowers are the favorite." The girl next to her also said that the old lady wore the clothes as soon as she saw them, and she liked them very much. The old lady thought of you, knew that you were not married, and was very worried, so she came back, and the old lady rewarded 200 taels of silver. A set of filigree inlaid treasure head jewelry, the eldest lady gave 100 taels, a set of red gold head noodles, and several other ladies also gave 50 taels and three gold hairpins. The young lady and the young master also sent me something to bring back to you. In addition to giving me money, the old lady also asked me to bring back these good materials. Before leaving, he was given snacks and two baskets of fruit, a ham, and a horn of venison. There is also a bag of japonica rice and a box of bird's nest. ”

Pearl looked at the clothes on the table, there were four pieces of satin, all of which were bright colors, and there was a big red woven gold entwined lotus with the word "Xi", which was used by relatives at a glance.

Two pieces of palace silk and six pieces of thick jacquard satin.

Two leather jackets, two large fur jackets with mink fur lining, and two large fur capes.

The contents of the other boxes, there is no way to look at them.

Pearl asked the second and third girls to send them to their rooms.

450 taels of silver is also a big bag, this time Liu Tonghammer did not stay, and directly gave the pearl.

Pearl didn't shirk either.

At night, Pearl was left alone in the house before she began to pack up the contents of these boxes.

The second and third girls have moved back to their rooms, and she is much cleaner.

The old lady gave a set of gold inlaid treasure head noodles, and the red gold head jewelry and pearls given by the eldest lady were all sent to the Fang family, planning to keep them for the second girl as a dowry.

"You're not married yet! Just keep it for yourself, you don't have to give it to the second girl. ”

Liu Tonghammer refused, and Pearl said with a smile, "Give it all to the second girl!" I still have a private house, and besides, I was given 450 taels of silver this time. Just buy it again in the future. Our family's life will get better and better, and my father and mother are waiting for a good life! ”

Liu Tongzhu and Fang both laughed, and they definitely had no difference in the future.

Fang thought of the silk placed in his room again, and said, "What should you do with these fabrics?" I'm cropping it to a ruler, right? ”

Pearl hurriedly stopped, "These are all good things, what you can't buy outside, how good it is to give the second girl as a dowry!" Don't spoil it. Accompanying things, it's still good-looking. ”

Fang Shi was not happy, and said, "The Zhang family is like that, I think it's good to give the ruler, and the rest of our own family makes clothes, and it's not that we don't have money, what are we doing wearing coarse cloth?" ”

"Mother is right!"

Fang's mind is still very open.

The three golden hairpins and pearls were also given to Fang's family, so that she could distribute them, and there was no shortage of her jewelry.

Even if it's missing, you can fight again.

Some of the ladies sent materials, some sent hairpins and silver skein bracelets, and now the pearl has two more gold hairpins and a pair of silver bracelets.

The three young masters seemed to be very satisfied with the gifts, and each of them gave them a set of pearls and four treasures of the study, which was estimated to have been given to them by others, and a jade pendant for each of them.

I don't know if the eldest lady knows, this jade pendant is beautifully carved and the jade is moist, but it is not a bargain.

This gift is worth it.

A piece of jade pendant is worth more than 500 taels, and a complete set of jewelry is worth more than 200 taels.

Plus those silk brocades, but they are good things that can't be bought in the market.

When you have to go to the door during the Chinese New Year, these snacks brought out from the Hou Mansion with boxes can only be given away.

There are four boxes of dim sum, all of which have to be given to important people.

During the Chinese New Year, in addition to preparing New Year's goods, the family also has to prepare a blind date for the second girl.

After talking to Mrs. Liu, Fang took Liu Hai and Erniu to the restaurant in the town to eat together on this day.
