Chapter 76: Happy New Year
When Yang Jinwen and the others returned home, they saw their parents, sister and a few children they met before eating hot pot at the big dinner table.
First ordered the next person to bring a few pairs of dishes and chopsticks, and a few people washed their hands and went directly to the dinner table?
"Why are you eating so late? Didn't you let you eat first, don't wait for us? Yang Yuling stretched out her hand that was Lulu and pinched her little sister's fat little face.
"I didn't wait for you, we made dumplings, and after wrapping ten dumplings with curtains, dinner will be delayed until now. What do you think? Is the food cooked by the royal kitchen in the palace good? How does it compare to the one we ate last time? Yang Yuqing looked at her brother and sister with some curiosity.
I've heard that the food served to the guests is more delicious.
"It's all frozen into ice lumps, do you think it's time to eat ice cream?" Yang Yuling was speechless when she thought of the hard meals on the table.
"Is it so cold? It's not that exaggerated, can it still be turned into an ice lump? Yang Yuqing felt that her sister was exaggerating.
"From the imperial dining room to the imperial garden, no matter how fast the pace is, it takes almost a quarter of an hour, and these things are not sent immediately after they are done, and when they are cold, they will be put on the table, and there will be frost soon, or the weather is too cold now, so this situation will occur." Duanmu Qiao looked at her sister-in-law with some amusement and didn't believe you, and explained to her.
"That's too bad, isn't it? Invite someone to eat ice? Or go for a cold dish? Yang Yuqing still felt a little incredible, going to the emperor's house to attend a banquet, and actually had to eat a cold meal?
"The chrysanthemum banquet in autumn will not be, now it's just that the weather is too cold to be like this." Duanmu Qiao knew that the little girl didn't understand, so he talked to her carefully.
"Oh, I just think your brother is too strange, in such a cold weather, why should the banquet be placed on the side of the Imperial Garden? It's no wonder if you don't freeze to death. "Yang Yuqing still thinks that the emperor is a bit tyrannical, otherwise would it be interesting to let so many people go to the imperial garden to freeze?
"As long as it is a banquet held by the emperor and empress, it is in the imperial garden all year round." Duanmu Qiao explained while eating, don't forget to give your little daughter-in-law some meat.
"Tonight, the emperor directly announced at the palace banquet that you would be married together with the enthronement ceremony on the second day of the second lunar month, why didn't you come to the house to talk about this matter first?" Yang Jinwen only remembered at this time that his sister was going to get married in a month.
"My mother has discussed it with Daddy Yang, big brother, don't you know?" Duanmu Qiao looked at Yang Jinwen with some doubts.
Yang Yuqing's four brothers and sisters looked at Yang Zhengsong and his wife together with a few children on the table.
"Oh, I'm too busy to forget, but I've got everything I need to prepare. The big red happy words at home will be pasted after the fifteenth day of the first month, and the wedding dress has been embroidered almost. Big girl, you can just make up some details yourself when the time comes. Yang Zhengsong was indeed so busy that he forgot about this matter, but the things he ordered people to prepare were almost ready.
Because they are going to marry into the palace as a queen, they have to think carefully about the dowry.
"There's food for the dowry here, right? Big girl, which one do you want? When the time comes, you have to take it out and show it to others. "Yang Zhengsong doesn't know, how to get the grain in the dowry here?
"Daddy Yang, the grain in the dowry must be skinned, not the kind of rice noodles on the market that have been dragged with skin." Sheng Jun wanted to laugh a little when he saw Daddy Yang's eyes.
When he came here, he really saw what it was like to have a day when the gods didn't change?
Eat with the people of the Yang family, today is all rice and white noodles, even if it is scary, the food is ordinary rice and white noodles, where to find such a good errand?
"Do you want to bring skin? Okay, then I'm going to get some skinned ones and pretend to be them. Yang Zhengsong originally wanted to discuss with a few children in his family to get a dowry for the third child of their family.
It's just that there are too many things in the study, and he can't do without the study if he has a good business, so he can't keep busy and forget.
"You don't have to prepare too much, do you? You don't need to prepare those wardrobes, beds, dressers, etc., right? Yang Yuling was a little confused, her mother only said that it was possible at any time, but she didn't say it was so fast.
"No, I gave you all the things I had saved before, and I could also put them in your dowry, my queen mother was one hundred and sixty-eight at the time, and the former queen was one hundred and ninety-eight, you can like as much as you like, you don't need to be the same as them." Duanmu Qiao looked at the little daughter-in-law with some amusement, and her whole face was wrinkled together.
"Then let's prepare one hundred and forty-eight lifts, and we can't overpower the Queen Mother." Yang Zhengsong made a decision.
Shen Wen's sister looked at the beautiful sister in front of her enviously, one hundred and forty-eight dowry, it must be spectacular when the time comes, the most dowry they have seen in the provincial capital, that is, the richest man in their provincial city to marry his daughter, ninety-nine dowry, a long line, so it makes people envious, not to mention one hundred and forty-eight.
"Too much, right? The question is, what exactly is going to put in this one hundred and forty-eight lifts? Yang Yuling felt that she had to check what was in the dowry?
"There are too many things to put in, and the clothes and bedding must account for at least twenty lifts. Jewelry and jade ornaments must account for sixty or seventy lifts, four boxes of gold bars, four boxes of silver ingots, and one box of gold nude and one silver nude for rewarding the subordinates. Twenty loads of grain, and I will prepare some for you of all kinds of rice and noodles. After that, there are some other small things scattered around, which should be about the same, and then what is missing will be filled. "Yang Zhengsong has already made a list before, and that's about it.
However, he will also refer to other people's dowry lists to see what is missing.
"Daddy, do you want to empty the whole house?" Yang Yuling was a little speechless when she heard so many things, she didn't need so many things to enter the palace.
"You don't look down on your dad anymore, just these things of yours, I won't be able to earn them back in a year, where can I be hollowed out?" Yang Zhengsong reached out and knocked on his daughter's little brain, pretending to glare at her fiercely.
"Know, know, you give me the dowry, you can do it!" Yang Yuling was a little helpless, she had no choice but to nod, anyway, there are a lot of things in her space, what her father says is what, right? Just coax the old man to be happy.
The meal was eaten outside, and the firecrackers went off, and they stopped their chopsticks.
"Oh my God, one meal, we have eaten for two years." Yang Yuqing, who heard the firecrackers, covered her mouth and giggled over there.
Everyone thought it was funny when they heard her talk about eating one meal for two years, but this is the first time they have had such an experience from the end of last year to the beginning of this year.
"Happy New Year, Daddy!"
"Daddy Yang, Grandma Yang, Happy New Year!"
"Okay, come on, come on, one red envelope per person."
Yang Zhengsong looked at the children in front of him, happily took out a red envelope, and gave one to each person.
