Chapter 133: New Year's Gift
Step by step, Chen Xiuyan's family also received New Year's gifts from others one after another, Fucheng Pei Fu, Pei Liu, Renjitang master Guo Miao, Yan Shopkeeper, Yan An; The families of all the officials in the county government sent New Year's gifts to their families.
What surprised Chen Xiuyan the most was that the fifth lady of the Zuo Shen government also asked people to prepare a New Year's gift, and the person who gave the gift, Chen Xiuyan, saw it when he was in Lonely Cloud Nunnery, the one named Uncle Wu.
"Mrs. Xie Yuan, the slave came at the behest of the young lady, in addition to giving gifts, there is also a reluctant invitation." Uncle Wu gave Chen Xiuyan a hand.
"Please."
"Can you sell some of the medicine that Lady Jieyuan used to detoxify the young lady before?" Uncle Wu said seriously.
"Your young lady has been poisoned again?" Chen Xiuyan was surprised.
"It's not." Uncle Wu pursed his lips slightly and said, "But don't be careful, Miss means that if there are other antidotes here, let the slaves buy some back." ”
Chen Xiuyan's impression of the fifth lady of the Zuo Politician who had a relationship with the lonely cloud nunnery was very good, and she was a generous lord, of course she was willing to sell medicine, there were a lot of Chinese and Western medicines, and the effects were marked one by one, Uncle Wu's eyes revealed a trace of joy when he saw it.
"Thank you, Mrs. Xie Yuan." Uncle Wu saluted Chen Xiuyan again.
The fifth lady of the left politician is as atmospheric as ever, the New Year's gifts are all precious products, blood swallows, ginseng, dried abalone, dried sea cucumber and other medicinal materials and food are all good things, and the cloth is also gorgeous, Chen Xiuyan doesn't understand, or Granny Su happened to come and took a look, saying that it was Song Jin.
"The three famous brocades of our country, Yunjin brocade is a royal tribute, and others can't use it; Shu Jin and Song Jin are the fabrics that dignitaries and nobles worship and show their status, after all, they are powerful if they can be bought. Granny Su explained to Chen Xiuyan.
"It's so valuable." Chen Xiuyan didn't know much about these, but she thought that Luo Wenqian would take a career in the future, and these might be things that women need to know when dealing with each other, so Chen Xiuyan took the opportunity to ask more.
Chen Xiuyan didn't seem to be surprised at all by Granny Su's knowledge, and Granny Su naturally explained, not worried about being spread indiscriminately, the two tacitly asked, only asking what they wanted to know, not asking about the privacy of the side.
"Then let's make a dress for Tao Lao." Chen Xiuyan made a decision, "Granny Su also pulled some back to make clothes for Aunt Yuan." ”
Granny Su was a little surprised.
"Aunt Yuan doesn't go out much, so it's good to be beautiful at home." Chen Xiuyan said with a smile, Granny Su smiled when she heard this, and did not refuse Chen Xiuyan's kindness.
After Granny Su left with the fabric, Tao Lao walked into the hall, "You are really generous to them, don't you want to know the identity of others?" ”
"What is there to be curious about, whether the identity is noble or low, many of them are destined from birth, but now people choose to live in Luojiatang, that is, there is an unspeakable hidden, why should I sprinkle salt on other people's wounds." Chen Xiuyan said.
"What's more, we really like Aunt Yuan's family, not because of other factors." Chen Xiuyan's implication is that people like them no matter what, so there is no need to inquire.
"It's a transparent one." Tao Lao smiled and praised, "How many people are not as clear as a child like you." ”
Chen Xiuyan glanced at Tao Lao.
"Praise you for being young, I'm happy." Tao Lao sat opposite Chen Xiuyan, looked at Song Jin in her hand and said, "You do it for me?" ”
"Thinking too much." Chen Xiuyan snorted, "I didn't hear Granny Su say how valuable this is, my craftsmanship is not to bury it." ”
"Let that Sue do it for me." Tao Lao looked at Erlang's legs and said, "She is idle, Xiao Se and Xiao Mingxin are busy, I can't bear to let the child make clothes for me." ”
Chen Xiuyan didn't say anything, but looked at Mrs. Yuan and Granny Su who came over from outside the courtyard, "Aunt Yuan, why are you here?" ”
"This man likes to wander around when he is idle." Mrs. Yuan didn't give Tao Lao a look, and sat next to Chen Xiuyan.
"People are self-aware and self-aware." Tao Lao looked like a teachable child, and Mrs. Yuan was so angry that she wanted to step forward and smoke someone.
"This man can't be too kind." Mrs. Yuan said slowly, "I saw Su Niang come back with such good materials, thinking that Wen Qian's master is old, and there is no one around him who knows how warm and cold, so lonely and helpless, hey, I can't bear to see it, it's just ......."
"Got it, got it, I said it wrong, Sue, thank you." Tao Lao is a person who can bend and stretch, and is not breathless at all.
Mrs. Yuan was very angry when she saw this person's temperament, but when she thought of the way this person was popular with others before, she suddenly balanced inexplicably, and praised her, "Tao Lao is really temperamental, Su Niang, you can make Tao Lao a spring dress." ”
Seeing that Mrs. Yuan was not angry, Tao Lao muttered to himself, sure enough, women are really strange.
After receiving so many New Year's gifts, Chen Xiuyan returned to each family, and then there were fewer things at home, so she needed to go shopping again, after all, there were more people than expected in advance.
Chen Xiuyan clearly knew that his own catties and taels were almost the same as the return gifts to all the adults in the county government, and they must have been discussed before they were sent, and they were all of similar value.
The Fucheng side gave a little more generous, Chen Xiuyan naturally replied more, and Chen Xiuyan asked Granny Su's opinion in advance for these return gifts, so although it was the first time to do it, it was done in an orderly manner.
On the fifteenth day of the lunar month, Chen Xiuyan asked Luo Mingqing to borrow a donkey cart and asked him to give New Year's gifts to Chen Xiujuan, Luo Wenjin, and Cai's family, while he took Qian Dongliang to the county seat to purchase things.
The tea was sent away, and everything I got from other places before was also sent out, Chen Xiuyan was shocked when she asked about the price when she went to buy it, the expensive ones were expensive, and the cheap ones were not cheap.
Chen Xiuyan picked half a catty, this is his own drink, and the New Year's entertaining guests, a little more expensive also bought a few taels, if there are still people to give New Year's gifts, as a return gift is very handy, so some tea, it cost Chen Xiuyan twenty taels.
When I came out of the tea shop, I happened to meet the Gao family.
Gao Chong brought Gao Wangdeng and Gao Wangke's two sons to the tea shop.
Chen Xiuyan was a little strange, she specially chose either the Gao family's tea shop or didn't want to be embarrassed to see people, but she didn't expect this to happen, did she come to talk about business? It's rare to talk about business during the wax moon.
"Master Gao." Chen Xiuyan, as a junior, still greeted Gao Chong, after all, after Gao Chong came to clarify for Luo Wense, the wind direction of outsiders more or less turned to Gao Wangke, and Luo Wense's reputation was completely preserved.
Of course, there is another reason, Luo Wense went out generously, but Gao Wangke had not seen anyone for a long time, and when he saw him again, Chen Xiuyan also looked at it twice before he was sure, the person had lost too much weight, and the clothes on his body were almost unable to hold up.
"Xie Yuan Niangzi." Chen Xiuyan took the initiative to say hello, even if Gao Chong was dissatisfied with the Luo family, he would not refute people's face, and he still solved the face of the Yuan lady.
When he saw the lofty Luo family, he thought of his stupid daughter-in-law, and his heart was full of thoughts, it was time to leave.
