Zhulan's eyes not only looked at the Zhao family and Dong family, but also looked at the Li family, the daughter and the two granddaughters. This sentence is not only for Zhao family and Dong family, but also for everyone.

In the house, Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Dong were frightened like a quail long ago, Mrs. Li was also frightened, and immediately stood up and knelt down. Xuehan pulled her two nieces to kneel, and several people said in unison: "Don't dare."

Zhulan hummed, "I hope you all remember today's words, okay, it's getting late, let's go back."

After everyone left, Zhulan was left in the house, quiet and quiet, and Zhulan's brain was much more comfortable.

Outside the door, Mrs. Zhao waited to get out of the main courtyard and rushed to catch up with the sister-in-law, "sister-in-law, I was just talking for a moment."

Mrs. Li is not a fool. In Lizhou City, she has seen many daughters-in-law of the official family, and she has a lady-in-law beside her. She is even more able to see people. Besides, her intuition is very accurate. Is Mrs. Zhao quick to speak? She is very clear, "Second brother and sister, your words are not sincere. I know you are jealous of me, but what's the use of stepping on me?"

She is a fool who knows why her mother-in-law likes her, but her two smart younger siblings don't understand. She finds that being too smart is not good.

After Mrs. Li finished speaking, she took her daughter Yulu's hand and walked to her yard. Mrs. Li thought about her parents as she walked. She felt very uncomfortable. It would be even more difficult to go back to her parents' house in the future. However, her mother-in-law will definitely send someone back with New Year gifts. Yes, not only did she have to prepare the New Year's gift, but she also had to send a silver ticket back, hoping that her parents had more money and could live a little easier.

Mrs. Zhao stood still, staring blankly at the sister-in-law entering the yard. The sister-in-law knew everything in her heart. The sister-in-law has changed a lot this year, and the only thing that has not changed is her straightness.

Mrs. Dong used to have the confidence of a lady of 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. The second sister-in-law has at least sons and daughters, and she has not yet consummated!

Mrs. Dong doesn't dare to underestimate her sister-in-law now, who has become more transparent in more than a year, "Second sister-in-law, I still have some unpacked luggage, so I'll go back first."

Zhao Shi returned to his senses, "Oh, good."

Mrs. Zhao waited for Mrs. Dong to leave, and then took her daughter's hand. There was a girl next to her, and she was not easy to say. When Mrs. Zhao thought of the girl, at least her mother-in-law was not particularly partial.

Zhu Lan rested for a while, wrote the list for the New Year's ceremony, and called Steward Ding, "Go and buy six fat sheep, 120 catties of yak jerky, red lanterns, 120 catties of pork, and 20 catties of pork. Four pieces of fish, one hundred and twenty catties of vermicelli, eight sheepskins, eight jars of wine for twenty catties, and finally eight pieces of cloth, I have written everything here."

Because the in-laws are ordinary people, they can only wear some cotton and linen fabrics. Even if there are many eight horses, they are actually not expensive.

Butler Ding took it over, "I'll do it now."

Zhulan also had another list in her hand. She asked her to buy nine kinds, including her own apples to make up ten kinds of New Year gifts. The list she made was for each family, Li Family, Zhou Patriarch's family. , The daughter's family, Dong's family, Qian's family, Jiang's family, a total of six family's annual ceremony.

The Jiang family and the Qian family have only six kinds of New Year's gifts, missing lanterns, sheepskin, wine and cloth.

The other four have ten even-numbered New Year's gifts.

These are just New Year's gifts. Zhulan also prepared clothes for her daughter and her family alone, a dress for her daughter and son-in-law, a cloak, two clothes and shoes for the four children, as well as small jewelry for her daughter and granddaughter, and finally the New Year's money. .

This year's New Year's money is given a lot. My grandson has one tael of silver a month. The grandson and granddaughter can't see it, and Zhulan doesn't give much. The new year's money for one person is five taels. subsidy.

My daughter has bought land for two years in a row, and it is time to buy a house. When the daughter buys a house, the old house in her hometown should be rebuilt.

Zhulan not only prepared it for her daughter, but also for the children of the clan. There are a lot of pen and ink in the family. Zhulan is going to pick some out and send it back to the clan. The students studying in the clan, yes, there are also some hand-copied books. This time Zhou Lao Er brought a lot of books. Zhulan plans to pick some out to copy and send them back. As for the candidates for copying books, Zhou Lao Er, Chang Lian is very good. When you come to Lizhou City, you still need to be quiet.

Time passed quickly, and it was seven days in a blink of an eye. After seven days of work, Zhulan's New Year's gift was ready, mainly waiting for books. Zhulan asked February to **** the New Year's gift back to her hometown, so that she could read it in February. Look at your parents.

Mrs. Li did not have much preparation. Mrs. Li sent food and meat. She also bought a lot of fabrics, plus a set of Mrs. Li’s jewelry and fifty taels of silver. About eighty two.

These were all reported by Li and Zhulan, but Zhulan really didn't take it to heart. The money was Li's own, and Li was willing to give it to her parents. She was quite happy, at least it showed that Li was really filial, and Not just blindly filial piety mother-in-law.

After leaving in February, Zhulan took her children and grandchildren to the Yang family. Zhulan's father has always been healthy and rarely gets sick, but this time he was sick for a long time. The eldest brother and the second brother sent it out.

It's all because the two brothers are really embarrassed. After coming to Lizhou City, Wu Chun seldom returned home from the camp. The Yang family relied on Zhu Lan to take care of them. Zhu Lan not only took care of the Zhou family but also took care of the Yang family. The two brothers were very different. Excuse me.

Now that the Yang family's money has been recovered, and they have made two more money, the family's money has become loose, and the Yang family has also integrated into Lizhou City. I'm really embarrassed to work **** Zhulan.

Of course, this is also what Yang Dayong meant. Yang Dayong and the Sun family feel sorry for their daughters. They have already enjoyed the filial piety of many daughters, and they have done enough.

Zhulan saw that her father's illness was cured, except for losing weight, she was in good spirits, "Father, how are you, Shuren and I are relieved."

Yang Dayong laughed, "I'll let you all remember, I'm all right, I'm all good, oh, come and show me my granddaughter, grandson."

Zhulan motioned for Mingyun to bring Yushuang and Mingrui to come over.

Yang Dayong looked at the three children OK, OK, this time your family is complete, and the family still needs everyone. "

Zhulan smiled. This is the old man's thinking. She hopes that everyone in the family will be by her side, "Yes, now that everyone is together, this year will be a reunion year."

With a smile on her face, Mrs. Sun touched her grandchildren one by one, thinking in her heart that she made a lot of money with her daughter this year, and the red envelopes for her children will also increase this year.

After the old lady figured it out, alas, fortunately, the daughter helped the family, otherwise the salary of the eldest grandson would not be enough for the Yang family. There are also many guests to entertain, which is another huge expense.

Sun clenched her daughter's hand tightly. The Yang family's decency didn't embarrass the eldest grandson. It all depended on her daughter, and Sun felt so bad for her daughter, "Lan, you still have to go to Jiangnan, can't you wait until the spring of next year? Going out in winter? What a guilt!"

The sons of the Zhou family are stupid, and the mother never said that!

Zhulan did tell her mother, when they were chatting, "Mother, now that my father's illness is cured, I'm going to leave in a few days, don't worry, I'll go back quickly."
