Chapter 591: Han Family Master

"It's the end of the year, and it's time to prepare gifts for each household. Bring me last year's list and let me take a look at what was given.

"Yes, ma'am."

While Yingtao was away, Du Jingyi recited the lists several times in her mind, constantly deepening her impression. She had a photographic memory, so after repeating it several times, she remembered the list by heart.

After getting the book of gifts from last year, she read it through and quickly picked out a few people on the secret list, and then skipped them without leaving any trace. Even Yingtao, who had served Du Jingyi for many years, didn't notice any difference.

After reading the book, Du Jingyi smiled and said.

"Prepare this year's gifts in the same way. By the way, Mr. Leng must have brought a lot of good stuff back from Quanzhou this time. You pick them out and keep the suitable ones first. I will send them to my parents and Uncle Han's family. Didn't they have another granddaughter a few days ago? It's time to give gifts. "

"I know, Madam."

After Yingtao left, Du Jingyi sighed slowly. After today, there was no turning back.

Outside, the north wind gradually blew up, and the pedestrians wrapped their clothes tightly, thinking that they would change into winter cotton clothes after returning.

Seven days later, a rare sunny day.

Although the sunny days in winter cannot be compared with those in summer, it is still very comfortable to see the warm sun.

Du Jingyi knew that Mr. Du and Mrs. Du were going to the Han family to give New Year gifts, so she "happened" to visit them. Seeing Du Jingyi coming, the couple was a little surprised.

"Why are you here so early in the morning?"

"Such a good weather, I wanted to invite my parents to the general's mansion to sit, but I didn't expect that my daughter would see you going out when I arrived at the door. What are you doing?"

"Go to your uncle Han's house to give New Year gifts, and by the way, see his little granddaughter. ”

“What a coincidence! The general’s mansion has also prepared the New Year gifts. I might as well ask someone to go back and get them and send them over together.”

“Okay, then hurry up and don’t delay too much.”

“Don’t worry, mother, we will set off in a while.”

Du Jingyi kept his word. The gifts were already placed on the carriage, so it didn’t take long for them to arrive at the Du family’s gate.

So, the three of them headed for the Han family.

The Han and Du families were not far from each other, so they often visited each other.

Now the Han family also has a lot of grandchildren, and it is very lively. When the head of the Han family heard that someone from the Du family was coming, he was also full of smiles and called the whole family to go out to greet them.

The leader, Uncle Han, was older than Master Du, but he didn’t look very old. It was just that compared with Master Du’s round body, he looked thinner and taller, so he looked very energetic.

“Uncle Du, Aunt Du.”

“Uncle Han, Aunt Han. "

After the two sides exchanged greetings, the head of the Han family looked at Du Jingyi and said.

"Tangtang is here too, why didn't you tell me earlier? Come on, let the kitchen prepare some good wine and food. We have to have a good meal at noon today."

Hearing this, Mr. Du said without any politeness.

"Wine and food, wine and food, without wine, this is not a feast, so the head of the Han family, don't be stingy, take out two bottles of your precious jade wine, let's all taste it!"

Hearing this, the head of the Han family said with a defensive look.

"I knew you wouldn't let them go. I only got thirteen bottles in total, and you have drunk seven or eight bottles for me now, and you are still thinking about it."

"Of course, good wine, everyone likes it. "

The Han family looked at Mr. Du with a smile, knowing that this was something that could only be said by those who were close to them, so they didn't mind at all, and then hurriedly invited him in.

When he entered, Du Jingyi looked at Uncle Han twice more than usual, but he didn't think it was a big deal. Instead, Mrs. Du beside him noticed something strange, so she gently pulled Du Jingyi's sleeve.

Du Jingyi felt that it was a bit inappropriate, so he smiled and let it go.

Entering the front hall, everyone sat down.

Mrs. Du looked at the eldest daughter-in-law of the Han family with a smile and asked.

"There are a lot of things to do at the end of the year. Your daughter has been born for a long time, and I have only come twice. Now, under the pretext of sending New Year gifts, I have prepared some things for the children. Please don't dislike them. "

"Aunt Du is polite. These children in the family can receive the things you send every now and then, and the small warehouse can hardly hold them. "

Seeing this, Mrs. Han also interrupted.

"Sister-in-law is just polite. "

"Sister-in-law, you are joking. We are as close as a family. This is as it should be."

Although the Han family and the Du family are not related by blood, they are much better than those relatives of the Du family. Therefore, it is lively for the two families to talk and laugh together.

During the meal, Du Jingyi did not express much, but just watched her father, Uncle Han and the two brothers of the Han family drinking happily. This precious jade wine is not intoxicating, but the taste is very special.

Du Jingyi tasted a little and thought it was very good, but she did not forget the purpose of coming here today.

"Mr. Leng went to Quanzhou a few days ago and received a bucket of South Pearls from several foreign merchants. I saw that the size was well-proportioned and the luster was also very good, so I brought it here today to give to Aunt Han and the two sisters-in-law. It is suitable to make jewelry for the New Year. "

After that, Du Jingyi asked Yingtao to take out the South Pearl.

Everyone came to look at the South Pearl, but only the head of the Han family next to him inadvertently saw a mark on the box, and his eyes sank in an instant.

When he looked at Du Jingyi again, his eyes were full of both tentativeness and suspicion.

"These beads are beautiful, each one is as radiant as a pool of water."

"Thank you Tangtang for thinking of us."

"It should be."

Although Du Jingyi was talking to Aunt Han and the others, her eyes met with the head of the Han family. She was not afraid of the head of the Han family's doubts, so the head of the Han family could not help but admire her a little more.

After exchanging glances, the two of them understood that this situation would come sooner or later. It was good to be a familiar person, which saved a lot of trouble.

So, after the Du family left that day, the Han family also prepared the New Year gifts.

They began to be sent out one after another, until the afternoon of the fourth day, when the head of the Han family and Mrs. Han went to the Du family in person, and then came to the general's mansion. In this case, outsiders had nothing to say.

After all, with the current status of the general's mansion, even if Du Jingyi was a junior of the two, they should go to this door.

Entering Xitang Courtyard, Yingtao came out to greet them.

"Master Han, Madam Han, please come in. Madam has prepared tea and snacks and is waiting for you two to come."

"General's wife is too polite. Then we will have some tea before we leave!"
