Chapter 389： Know yourself and the enemy

Zhulan didn't eat at her mother's house, she went home after sitting for a while. Dad had money in his hand, and both parents were fat. She didn't have anything to worry about. She just didn't know when the second brother's family came back. The fault was the second brother's family, and the second brother's family lived with Wuhe.

Today, Zhulan gave her the New Year's gift to her parents in advance.

She also has to prepare a New Year's gift for Mrs. Chen's family and Mr. He's family. It's all a matter of coming home.

Yamen, Lord He said in a low voice, "Master Zhou has never stopped smiling. If I hadn't known that Mrs. Zhou had returned, I would have panicked in my heart."

Mrs. Chen pursed her lips, "Mrs. Zhou didn't come back, so my wife is always irritable. Now that she's back, why don't you come to the door to verify in person?"

Mr. He's expression stiffened. He was born in Gengdu. His father-in-law's family was powerful. He was no different from his son-in-law. Mr. Chen also had a concubine and two concubines. He didn't dare to go even if he had a concubine. Sad, the lady wants jewelry inside and out, but where does he have money, the salary is all in the lady's hand!

The most annoying thing is that the lady always thinks that he has private money, but he really doesn't have it. He wants to save it, but he doesn't dare!

Lord Chen and Lord He sighed at each other, and then how did they look at Lord Zhou?

Zhou Shuren didn't even realize that he was disgusted by people. He wanted to tell everyone that he was happy, "Master Chen, Master He, I'm treating you to this restaurant."

Master Chen, "..."

Mr. He, "..."

No, they don't want to go, but they want to scold people. It's rare for Lord Zhou to invite guests and not go!

When Zhulan returned home, Mrs. Li had her stomach stretched out. Wherever Zhulan went, Mrs. Li would follow her. Zhu Lan said, "...You're not too tired to follow me with your belly stretched out?"

Li's chubby little hand tightly held the corner of her mother-in-law's cloak, "Mother, I just want to follow you."

Zhulan's heart has softened and softened. She is the only one who can get used to Li's family. She is not at home. Li's heart is uneasy. I was willing to cry, "Follow!"

Li grinned, "Hey!"

Silk Flower looked up at Mrs. Li. She had to think about how she could stay by the eldest wife's side completely. She was clear in her heart that the eldest lady had completely hugged the mistress's leg. Not so many bad things, and peace of mind!

No matter how many servants there are in the future, no matter how many servants there are in the future, they will be polite to her.

Zhulan counted the annual gifts for each family, and Zheng Hong from the Zheng family also gave them. After all, Zhou Shuren's first year as an official was a large sum of money.

Fortunately, she brought back some vegetables and fruits and other rare items from the south, so she no longer has to go and buy them for the rare items.

Mrs Li followed her mother-in-law, and she was speechless, "Mother, are these all going to be sent away?"

Zhulan checked the gift list and replied, "Yes."

When Mrs. Li heard how much money it cost to buy green vegetables, she was heartbroken when she heard it, and when she ate green vegetables, she kept thinking in her heart that every bite was silver, but now she has to send them away in a few kilograms. "Mother, will this be the case every year from now on?"

Zhu Lan said quietly: "There will only be more in the future."

Unless Zhou Shuren is demoted or deprived of his official position by committing a crime, the number of New Year gifts will only increase.

Li Shi couldn't bear it anymore, "Mother, doesn't that cost a lot of money every year?"

Zhu Lan smiled, "This year, there is no autumn harvest in Lizhou City, and the people are sad and have little money in their hands. This year's Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, etc. are not celebrated and gifts are not exchanged. Waiting for next year, these festivals will be gone. Courteous."

Li's calculation is the best, and she quickly calculated, "Mother, I feel bad."

Zhu Lan laughed, and she liked Li's straightforward and wrinkled face, "You just think about sending it out, but forgetting that it is also mutual, let me tell you, Mr. Chen's family has a tea garden, and the tea leaves are It must be on the return gift list, the Chen family must return good tea, and our family will not need to buy tea for next year..."

Zhulan talked one by one about the possible return gifts from each household, and Li's mouth opened wide when she heard it, "Mother, how do you know so clearly?"

Zhu Lan tapped Li's forehead, "It's called knowing oneself and knowing one another. You think only your mother understands, and our family's situation is no secret."

When Li thought about it, he felt scared. When he thought about the head of the family, it would be better to be stupid. Li felt that it was good for him to be shrewd without the shrewdness of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, so as not to know how he died.

When Zhulan returned to the yard, Mrs. Dong came over with the account book. Mrs. Dong tried to ignore her sister-in-law. She was one step too late, and she was robbed by her sister-in-law. She wanted to follow, but it was too deliberate. UU Reading www. uukanshu. com "Mother, this is the cost of going out to the sewing room at home."

Zhulan didn't read the account book, she set a lot of rules for the account room, it is difficult to make fake accounts in Zhou Mansion, "I don't have to worry about handing it over to you, take the account book back, it's still a few days before the New Year. , the new year is rid of the old and welcomes the new, and the family makes two clothes."

Mrs Dong was delighted with her mother-in-law's trust, and asked with a smile, "Mother, what about the servant?"

The servants of the Zhulan family, Zhulan stipulates that there are two clothes for each season. The servants wear cotton and linen fabrics that are not expensive. Eight clothes a year are necessary, and the servants are also the face of the Zhou family. Clothes must be appropriate.

Zhulan thought for a while, "This is the first New Year's year, and the servants are all dressed in new clothes."

Mr. Dong said, "Mother, I have written it all down."

Mrs. Zhao came over from the kitchen, Mrs. Zhao wanted to come earlier, but she had to arrange what to do at noon, especially when her mother-in-law came back, and the dishes should not be sloppy. The mother-in-law's food was not good, which meant that the father-in-law was not happy.

Mrs. Zhao came in and said, "Mother, Chang Lian ate roasted whole lamb at Mengju's house. Look, when you come back, you also eat one at night?"

After several years of observation, she found that her mother-in-law and father-in-law like food more and more, so she suggested it, she thought her mother-in-law would like it.

Mrs. Dong was depressed, and Chang Lian also told her that she didn't remember to mention it to her mother-in-law. Mrs. Dong lowered her head, the two sisters-in-law, the second sister-in-law was the most scheming.
