Zhulan's gaze not only looked at Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Dong, but also Mrs. Li, her daughter and two granddaughters. This sentence was not only for Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Dong, but also for everyone.
In the room, Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Dong were as frightened as quails, and Mrs. Li was also frightened. She quickly stood up and then knelt down. Xuehan pulled her two nieces to kneel down. They said in unison: "Don't dare."
Zhu Lan hummed, "I hope you will remember today's words, that's enough, it's getting late, let's all go back."
After everyone left, Zhulan was left alone in the room, it was quiet, and Zhulan's brain felt much more comfortable. Once people get used to the quietness, they really don't like crowds and bustle.
Outside the door, Mrs. Zhao waited out of the main courtyard and hurriedly caught up with sister-in-law, "Sister-in-law, I just had a quick talk just now."
Mrs. Li is not a fool. In Lizhou City, she has met many official daughters-in-law, and she has Mrs. Juanhua around her to guide her. She was very clear, "Second brother and sister, your words are not sincere. I know you are jealous of me, but what's the use of you stepping on me?"
As a fool like her, she knew why her mother-in-law liked her, but her two smart siblings didn't understand. She found that being too smart was not good.
After speaking, Mrs. Li took her daughter Yulu's hand and walked towards her yard. While walking, Mrs. Li thought about her parents. Yes, not only did she have to prepare the New Year's gift, but she also had to send the bank notes back, hoping that her parents would have more money and live a more relaxed life.
Mrs. Zhao stood still, staring blankly at the sister-in-law entering the yard. The sister-in-law knew everything in her heart. The eldest sister-in-law had changed a lot this year, and the only thing that remained unchanged was her straight temper.
Dong used to have the confidence of a lady from the official family, but she knew that her father's seventh-rank county magistrate could not be promoted again. Now she can't even compare with the second sister-in-law. At least the second sister-in-law has a son and a daughter, and she hasn't consummated the house yet!
Mrs. Dong doesn't dare to underestimate her sister-in-law now, she has become more transparent over the past year, "Second sister-in-law, I still have some luggage to pack, I'll go back first."
Mrs. Zhao came back to her senses, "Oh, good."
Mrs. Zhao waited for Mrs. Dong to leave before she held her daughter's hand. There was an extra girl beside her, and she had some things to say. When Mrs. Zhao thought of the girl, at least her mother-in-law was not particularly partial.
Zhulan rested for a while, wrote the list of New Year's ceremony, and called Butler Ding, "Go and buy six fat sheep, one hundred and two catties of yak jerky, one hundred and twenty catties of pork for red lanterns, twenty Four pieces of fish, one hundred and twenty catties of vermicelli,
Eight sheepskins, eight jars of twenty-jin wine, and finally eight bolts of cloth, I have written them all here. "
Because the in-laws are ordinary people, they can only wear some cotton and linen fabrics. Although eight horses are a lot, they are not expensive.
Butler Ding took it over, "I'll do it now."
There is another list in Zhulan's hand. She asked her to buy nine items. Counting her own apples, she made up ten New Year gifts. The list she made was for each family's New Year gift, Li's family, Zhou Patriarch's family , the daughter's family, the Dong family, the Qian family, and the Jiang family, a total of six new year ceremonies.
The Jiang family and the Qian family only had six annual gifts, without lanterns, sheepskins, wine and cloth.
The other four families all have ten even-number annual rites.
These are just New Year's gifts. Zhulan also prepared clothes for the daughter and the whole family separately. The daughter and son-in-law have a set of clothes and a cape, and the four children have two sets of clothes and shoes. There are also small jewelry for the daughter and granddaughter, and finally the lucky money. .
This year's New Year's money is a lot, my grandson has a month's money of one tael a month, grandsons and granddaughters can't see each other, Zhulan doesn't give too much, five taels of lucky money for each person, daughter and son-in-law each ten taels, so to speak in disguise of subsidies.
My daughter has been buying land for two years in a row, and it's time to prepare to buy a house. When my daughter buys a house, the old house in my hometown should be rebuilt.
Zhulan not only prepares for the daughter, but also prepares for the children of the clan. There are a lot of pens and inks in the family. Zhulan is going to pick some out and send them back to the clan. Students who study in ethnology, yes, there are also some hand-copied books. This time Zhou Laoer brought a lot of books, and Zhulan was going to pick some out to copy and send back. As for the candidates for copying books, Zhou Laoer, Chang Lian is very good, but I still need to calm down when I come to Lizhou City.
Time flies, and it will be seven days in a blink of an eye. In seven days, Zhulan’s New Year’s ceremony is all ready, mainly waiting for books. Zhulan asked February to escort the New Year’s gift back to his hometown, and February happened to be able to read it Look at your parents.
Mrs. Li also made preparations. What Mrs. Li sent was food and meat, and she also bought a lot of cloth, plus a set of Mrs. Li’s jewelry and fifty taels of silver. It's almost eighty taels.
These were all reported by Mrs. Li and Zhulan. Zhulan really didn’t take it to heart. The money belongs to Mrs. Li. She is quite happy that Mrs. Li is willing to give it to her natal family. At least it shows that Mrs. Li is really filial, and Mrs. Not blindly only filial mother-in-law.
After leaving in February, Zhulan took her children and grandchildren to Yang's house. Zhulan's father was always in good health and seldom got sick, but this time he was sick for a long time. When the old man was sick, Zhulan wanted to stay and take care of him, but The eldest brother and the second brother sent it out.
It was all because the two elder brothers were really embarrassed. After they came to Lizhou City, Wu Chun seldom went home in the camp, and the Yang family depended on Zhulan to take care of them. Sorry.
Now that the Yang family's money has been collected, and they have earned two sums of money, the family's money has been relaxed, and the Yang family has also integrated into Lizhou City. I am really sorry to work hard on Zhulan.
Of course, this is also Yang Dayong's meaning. Yang Dayong and Sun's love for their daughter, they have enjoyed a lot of filial piety from their daughter, and her daughter has done enough.
Seeing that her father had recovered from her illness, Zhulan was in good spirits except for being thinner, "Father, you are well, Shuren and I are relieved."
Yang Dayong laughed, "I let you remember, I'm fine, everything is fine, hey, come and let me see my great-granddaughter, great-grandson."
Zhulan motioned for Mingyun to bring Yushuang, and Mingrui to come over.
Yang Dayong looked at the three children, "Okay, okay, this time your family is complete, and a family still needs to be complete."
Zhulan smiled. This is what the old man thinks. He hopes that everyone in the family will be by his side. "Yeah, now we have all the people. Let's have a reunion year this year."
Smiling, Mrs. Sun touched her grandchildren one by one, thinking in her heart that this year she earned a lot of money with her daughter, and the red envelopes given to her children will also increase this year.
The old lady did the math, oops, fortunately the daughter helped the family, otherwise the grandson's salary would not be enough for the Yang family to spend. There are also many guests to be entertained, which is another big expense.
Mrs. Sun held her daughter's hand tightly. The Yang family can live a decent life without embarrassing the eldest grandson. It all depends on her daughter. Mrs. Sun loves her daughter so much, "Lan, you still have to go to Jiangnan, can't you wait until spring next year? Go out in winter What a crime!"
The sons of the Zhou family are stupid, mother never said that!
Zhulan did tell her mother, during the chat, "Mother, now that my father is recovering from illness, I'm going to leave in a few days. Don't worry, I'll go and come back soon."
