The grandmother was so angry that she slammed on the door:

"Someone! Open the door! I'm going to find you girls! ”

"The girl has been on the road for a day, and she has already rested, and the housekeeper ordered that it would disturb the girl's rest, and all the courtyards would be bolted in advance."

The grandmother had to go back to the house.

The next day, she had breakfast.

"Someone! Take me to you girls. ”

"The girl went out on errands, and I don't know when she will come back."

“……”

On the third day, she went to find Xu Yin without breakfast.

The doorkeeper of Xiangyuan stretched out her hand and stopped her: "I'm sorry, the girl is chanting to the late old lady and no outsiders." ”

“……”

Day 4......

The grandmother couldn't hold back any longer, rushed out of the guest house, and went to Xu Yin to ask for an explanation, what was the purpose of drying her like this.

Halfway through the way, he met the housekeeper, smiled and said that he had prepared a Mid-Autumn Festival gift for her, and asked her if she needed to hire a carriage, and an empty carriage was parked outside the gate of the mansion now.

As soon as she heard that her niece had prepared a festival gift, her grandmother immediately thought of the silk and tonic herbs that she had sent to her mother's house every year when her second brother was still there. There is not much difference between silk and silver.

"I'll go back to Fengcheng! Originally, I also wanted to say goodbye to Yin Yin, after so many days, it was time to go back. Since Yin Yin is so busy, I won't bother her, and I have to bother the butler to help me carry my things into the carriage. ”

"This is natural."

The housekeeper asked the servant to help her carry a heavy burden tied with wedding silk to the door and load it into the carriage.

Passers-by looked at their grandmother enviously several times, and they were really lucky to be relatives of Xufu.

"Which relative of the Xu Mansion is this? You came empty-handed when you came the other day, right? ”

"No, eat and drink for a few days, and bring back a load of Boxing gifts. If you say it's good, it's going to be relatives, and if it's ugly, it's just playing the autumn wind! ”

"Alas, who let us not have such rich relatives!"

When the grandmother got into the car, the housekeeper reported the approximate address of the Sun family in Fengcheng to the coachman, and waved to the grandmother, smiling and wishing her a smooth journey.

The grandmother waited for the carriage to run out for a while, wanting to untie the knot of the wedding silk, open the gift burden, and see what kind of gift the Xu Mansion had given to her family.

But I didn't want to, the knot of the silk was tied tightly and difficult to untie, not only tied the burden to death, but also tightened it tighter, and finally had to give up.

But she had a hidden guess in her heart that the gifts sent by the Xu Mansion could not escape a few: cloth brocade and nourishing medicinal materials.

It's a particularly good mood along the way.

"Sikong, she really didn't come back after she left! How did you do that? Can you tie the silk so tightly? ”

The little maid went to the gate of the house every once in a while to take a look, and until it was dark he did not see his grandmother's carriage turn back, and he thought that he had already left the city, and ran happily to consult the account office.

The housekeeper happened to be there, and when he heard this, he looked at Sikong curiously: "What kind of knot are you tying?" Can't untie without scissors? ”

"Dead Knot."

“……”

One sentence will kill the day!

The old butler became more and more convinced that the scar on this kid's face had been cut with a knife, and looking at this careless tone, he was really not beaten.

The little girl expressed some regret: "It must be funny not to see her expression when she unpacks her burden and sees the Boxing Rite." ”

The old housekeeper thought about that picture, and also felt funny, and shook his head with a smile: "The girl can figure it out!" ”

In the Xiangyuan, the two maids in charge of pretending to be the burden of Zi Kite and Hong Qian have also been pursing their lips and snickering.

Xu Yin glanced up at them, and said helplessly: "Haven't laughed enough?" ”

"Poofha...... Girl, the slave can't hold it back, how could you think of giving her those ......"

"No way, girl, I have a lot of money to spend now." Xu Yin spread her hands.

There is still half a sentence that I haven't said: I'd rather give the people in the house a monthly increase than my grandmother.

"Having said that, the new bookkeeper's face is a little scary, but his heart is really good." Purple Kite said, "I knew that the girl was worried that the knot of the silk was not easy to tie tightly, so without saying a word, she stood up to help." ”

Xu Yin also felt that although the newcomer was timid, he didn't dare to say it out loud, but he didn't expect that he still had some ability to tie the knot of the silk as tightly as a string.

She was still thinking about whether she might as well get some 502 glue and seal the lid of the gift, but that would easily arouse her grandmother's suspicions.

After thinking about it, he said: "Tomorrow in mid-autumn, because I want to keep filial piety for my father and mother, I won't put on a big show, and I will give each of you an extra month of monthly money as a holiday benefit!" ”

"Thank you, girl!"

……

In that car, my grandmother was tired all the way, but because she was full of excitement, she didn't look tired.

Finally returned to her home in Fengcheng, and she couldn't wait to go home and dismantle the gift.

But he was chased by the coachman to beg for fare.

The grandmother was stunned: "Isn't it the carriage hired by the Xu Mansion?" They didn't pay? ”

"It was the steward of the Xu Mansion who asked me to wait at the gate of the mansion, saying that there might be business, so I stopped there. You came up without asking, what's the matter? Do you want to lose the car fare at this time? ”

Grandmother: "......"

secretly scolded the housekeeper of the Xu Mansion for not being a man.

But no matter how you scold, this fare has to be given.

The grandmother suffered a dumb loss, and the mood that had been happy all the way was a little worse.

Fortunately, there is also a heavy burden of gifts.

After entering the door, I couldn't wait to call my son to get the scissors.

"Your cousin still understands a bit of human feelings, kept me for a few days, and gave me a gift of gifts, and when I turned around, I took a few pieces of silk to the brocade village to exchange silver, and you have a coil for the exam."

As soon as the words ended, as the wedding silk tied to the burden was cut, the lid of the gift was lifted, revealing the salute inside.

The grandmother was shocked: "Ahhhh ”

Xu Yin's loss of color actually left the gift list of the festival gifts given by her sister who had been married since her father entered the family, and bound it into a book, and gave it to her grandmother as an ancient brain for the Mid-Autumn Festival gift this year.

Her father has been in the Xu family for 15 years, and there are six festivals a year to give gifts to her parents' family, namely Shangyuan, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Chongyang, Laba, and Spring Festival.

In addition to Chongyang, the other five festivals will also prepare a festival gift for the married sister.

Although it is not as valuable as that given to the elders, there are meats such as ham and elbows, as well as food suitable for the occasion, such as zongzi in the Dragon Boat Festival, moon cakes in mid-autumn, sweet porridge in Laba, etc., which are obviously much more abundant than the festival rites of small families visiting relatives and friends.

In addition, on the first birthday of his grandmother, grandfather, and Sun Zhiqian, he will also ask people to prepare a congratulatory gift and ask someone to take it to Fengcheng.

It can be said that in addition to not giving money directly, the number of etiquette is quite thorough.

Xu Yin spent a day and took the maids to sort out the gift lists kept over the years.

Some of them are gray and yellowish because of the age, and they specially asked the housekeeper to find someone to frame them.

In this way, it doesn't seem thick, and the burden is heavy.
