Chapter 887 It’s too early to be happy!
Last year, Jiayin made it clear to the whole family that she would no longer take a penny from Baiyuan Garden, and would leave all of it to her second uncle to help the family build momentum and build strength.
Hands of business have brought Baiyuan Garden to its current scale and reputation, thanks to the hard work of the second uncle.
Secondly, she is just a few flowers randomly planted in the space. In fact, there are not many more, but not much less.
Moreover, she enjoyed the shelter of her family, gave a few flowers, and contributed to the family, which is what she deserves.
But the family didn't think so, and the second uncle didn't want to be greedy for his niece's money.
So, apart from the normal use of Baiyuan Garden's income, the remaining balance will be converted into gemstones, jewelry, clothing materials, etc. and then returned to Jiayin's small warehouse...
The days passed day by day, unhurriedly.
Jiayin handled household affairs in the village, prepared and distributed New Year gifts, and attended this year’s village dividend meeting.
When she has free time, she has to go to the city to take care of the business of several shops and is busy with the accounting at the end of the year.
Fortunately, there is a village chief in the village and Gu Li is in charge of the shop, so it is not particularly busy.
One day, when I looked up from the good news, I realized that it was already the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, and there were still five days before the Chinese New Year.
She was thinking about entering the palace for a banquet, so she quickly called Shui Yun and Shui Ling.
“I have nothing to do today to help me pick out clothes and jewelry. I have to go to the palace for a banquet during the Chinese New Year.
“The clothes don’t have to be amazing, but they don’t make people laugh.”
Shuiyun couldn't help but laugh and said: "Miss, other ladies in other families wish they were preparing New Year's clothes a month in advance, but you didn't even think about it until the end of the year. Isn't it a little too late?"
Jiayin sat slumped in a chair, holding a pear and gnawing on it, waving his hands nonchalantly.
“For ladies in other people’s homes, their daily work is eating, doing embroidery.
“You don’t see how busy I am. I wish I had eight hands. How can I have time to take care of such a trivial matter?”
Shuiling handed the wet handkerchief to the master to wipe his hands, and helped add a catchphrase from the master.
“Yes, new clothes and dresses are not as important as earning money. With money, you have everything!”
Everyone laughed when they heard this.
In the end, it was Nanny Lin who stepped forward and said, "Miss, the young lady sent two new sets of dresses the day before yesterday. They were sewn by the young lady and her maid. They said they were for the young lady to wear during the New Year."
“Oh, I forgot about this.” Jiayin patted her head and said with a smile, “It’s good to have a sister-in-law. I don’t need to think about it, my sister-in-law has prepared it for me.”
After saying that, she told everyone, "Remember to remind me to pick out a set of jewelry for my sister-in-law in the past two days to add joy to the New Year."
Before anyone could respond, the Marquis arrived with the steward of the Marquis Mansion.
The Marquis entered the courtyard first, but the housekeeper greeted the boy and unloaded eight large boxes in one go.
Soon, the boxes were moved into the main room, so packed that there was no space on the floor.
“Father, why are you so rich with so many boxes?” Jiayin poured tea for the Marquis himself and said jokingly.
She did not forget to ask the butler to sit down and pour him a cup of tea.
Speaking of which, the housekeeper has watched her grow up.
Whenever there is something delicious or fun in the Hou Mansion, he is always the first to bring it over.
She also regards the butler as half an elder!
The butler stood up in panic and took it. After bowing, he was willing to sit down.
The Marquis took a sip of hot tea to dispel the coldness in his body, "There are six boxes of clothes and supplies here, prepared by the butler for you.
"The other two boxes are some rare jades I brought back from abroad. You can collect them when you have free time. If you find something you like, you can also keep it for future dowry."
Six boxes of dresses?
Jiayin was surprised, turned to smile, and said happily: "I'm so sleepy that I gave you a pillow!"
"Just now I told Shuiling and the others to prepare clothes and dresses for the palace night banquet, but unexpectedly my adoptive father sent them to me, so I don't have to worry!"
There is nothing more joyful than sending a gift to your heart.
Mr. Hou smiled and nodded. The chief steward was filled with pride and joy from the corners of his eyes and brows, and he said repeatedly: "The needlework ladies in the Marquis's residence have been idle for more than half a year, and the princess can't think of using them.
“The old slave has no choice but to make the decision on behalf of the princess. I don’t know if the princess likes the style of these dresses.”
Jiayin called Shuiling to open a box.
What you see is a button-up jacket made of bright red and gold silk. The workmanship is so exquisite that the embroidery alone takes a month to complete.
There are also colors such as peach red, aqua blue, emerald green, snow blue, etc., almost all colors and styles of coats are gathered together.
The second box contains skirts of various colors, with horse face, pleats, and flowers. Each one is also extremely beautiful.
The third box contained six cloaks, all lined with fur and lined with satin and embroidery. They were both beautiful and warm.
The fourth box contains various fur muffs, purses, hand stove covers and other small items.
In the fifth and sixth boxes, there are various embroidered shoes and boots.
Some are decorated with tassels, and some are inlaid with pearls. They are of different heights and thicknesses, and it is simply dazzling to see.
There is no woman who doesn’t love beauty. Jiayin couldn’t put it down these beautiful clothes and shoes.
Even Granny Lin, Shui Ling and Shui Yun also came close to them, chattering and discussing how to match them.
For a time, the room was so lively that the roof almost fell off.
Mr. Hou drank tea slowly, with a smile on his face.
The chief steward couldn't sit still and intervened decisively, offering opinions from time to time.
Determined to make his princess the most beautiful girl at the palace night banquet!
In the middle of the discussion, the Liu family actually sent a nanny over and delivered a box of clothes and shoes.
Obviously Mrs. Liu is also worried that the Li family's female relatives are not around, and no one will arrange New Year's clothes for Good News.
Before the Liu family could leave, Mrs. Jia Er also sent someone over...
Finally, the good news is that we have collected ten boxes of new clothes, shoes and socks!
Now we no longer have to worry about what to wear during the New Year, but we have to worry about what to do if we don’t have enough to wear.
After all, the weather will gradually warm up after the new year, and thick clothes will need to be gradually shed.
And she is so tall that her clothes will be too small until next winter.
Fortunately, Baozhu was much shorter than her, so he could give it to her to help "share the burden".
It’s just that Baozhu is a little fat. In order not to waste these clothes, next year I will supervise her to eat less and exercise more!
I was eating snacks at home and learning from my mother how to be a director when I suddenly sneezed hard.
There was a fire burning at home, so why did she feel a deep chill...
When the long-awaited New Year finally arrived, countless people in Xindu breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s the New Year, the emperor has sealed his pen, and the censor has also shut up.
Finally, they no longer have to worry about who the next unlucky person will be.
If anything goes wrong, it will only happen next year.
The only goal at hand is to have a good year!
The people have been busy for a year and are looking forward to having something good on the table.
The rich and powerful have been busy for a year, but they also want to eat in peace and have a good sleep!
It’s a pity that everyone seems to be happy too early.
Because the night banquet in the palace is about to begin.
The good news, who had never been to a banquet before, followed his adoptive father and second uncle into the palace.
And the Queen Mother, who had been silent for several years like a transparent person, also dressed up to attend...
