Not only Hua'er and Duo'er's family, but all the servants and tenants in Zhuangzi didn't talk about the sadness of the new year this New Year.
The children were wearing new clothes, and chicken, duck, and fish were stewed on the stoves of every household. Anyone whose home did not smell the smell of meat would be scolded.
As for Ngawang's wife, their family is very proud this year.
Awang's daughter-in-law had a hard time before. After she got married to Wang Awang, the couple gave birth to three pairs of triplets in one breath and raised nine children.
It is said that many children bring happiness, but with nine children waiting for food, Wang Awang was reluctant to give the children away, so he gritted his teeth and kept them. He worked the hardest in the village every day, and even secretly made some things behind the back of Manager Li, Mrs. Liu. It was a small business, that is, they were lucky, and the neighbors took pity on them and helped hide it. Otherwise, how could these nine children be fed?
Awang's daughter-in-law herself has twin sisters and a pair of triplets. She also followed her mother and had several babies as soon as she became pregnant. Although this is a great blessing in the eyes of others, the joys and sorrows of life are still there. Only you really know that.
This year is different.
There is a new owner in the village, and she is the cousin of the Hou Mansion. The cousin is really kind, and all the family members, old and young, as long as they can work can eat in the canteen. Those who have children will also prepare meals for the children. It is necessary to supplement enough meat, eggs and milk.
It was this year that the nine children in their family finally grew up to be visible to people.
The youngest is in poor health. He is still unable to lift his head at the age of two. His neck and body bones are all soft. The family feels that it will be difficult to feed him. However, he has only had enough food for a few months. Now his calves are very strong. He also speaks loudly, even better than his father.
When the cousin gave out New Year's red envelopes to everyone, their family became even more enviable.
Nine children, nine small silver ingots, including a particularly rare silver rose. The drawing process alone is quite complex, one tael can be used as five taels.
Mu Qingyun happily returned the money and was very happy, but Xia He was very worried. It was just the silver that was enough to pay back. The young lady was not short of money, but she saw that most of the boxes containing materials in her warehouse had been emptied. , simply frightened.
"My little ancestor, we have a lot of these serious good materials. How can we give them away? We can't buy them even with money."
The finest tribute satin from the south of the Yangtze River was naturally sent to the palace. There were many empresses in the emperor's harem, and there was never enough tribute satin. The empress's natal family also purchased many high-quality old materials every year and brought them to the palace as a tribute.
But how much really good material can there be?
All the noble ladies in the capital are dazzling, but if you are a little worse for wear, you will show your timidity.
Xia He had already inquired about Princess Pingxi's tea party and Princess Changle's flower viewing party later in the year. It would be best for their young lady to participate in these two events. Women generally have to consider life-long matters, but there are always a few handkerchiefs to hand over and someone to talk to.
Just to participate in these parties, the clothes and makeup need to be exquisite, and it is almost because she, Xia He, is not trying her best.
Mu Qingyun didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He glanced at the clothes that had just been cut for him, the designs of the dozens of clothes that had been arranged, and the materials that had been prepared. He really didn't understand what the little girls were inexplicably anxious about.
With the persona she has created for herself, even if she goes out wearing a sack, the ladies in the capital will definitely only praise her for her beauty and beauty, and that she looks beautiful no matter what she wears.
But she is still happy to go out shopping to buy clothes and jewelry.
Moreover, she also cut a short holographic video and planned to release it on the busiest street, just in time for the New Year's gossip boom, to help her make more 'money'.
The Daxi Dynasty has been passed down to the current emperor, who is already the fourth emperor. Although it cannot be said that the world is peaceful, after all, there are still barbarians coming to harass the border from time to time, but there has been no large-scale war for decades, and the people can still live and work in peace and contentment. .
Mu Qingyun was walking on the street. Except for the occasional beggar hiding in the shadows, looking around, it looked like a prosperous scene.
Dashenghe Silk Shop is one of the three famous silk and satin shops in the capital, but from a distance, there are only a few carriages parked, and it is not too noisy inside.
Xia He said with a smile: "Originally, we should have asked Dashenghe's people to bring the materials directly to Zhuangzi, but it is far away and we are afraid of being fooled by them. In the end, it would be more convenient to go there."
Rich families in the capital select good materials, and most of the time they have people from the silk and satin shop deliver them directly to their homes.
In fact, when the major silk and satin shops get the best silk and satin, they will deliver it to their doorsteps for people to choose from without anyone having to ask. These people are very well-informed. Every year, as long as they see whose carriage enters the door first, they will naturally get it. It is clear who is the upstart that year, and it is very likely that they will be prosperous in the coming year.
Xia He casually told Mu Qingyun about the trivial rules of the capital, and then he arrived in front of Dashenghe's door. As soon as he climbed up the stone steps, someone happened to come out.
As soon as he saw Mu Qingyun, the lady opposite showed a very strange expression.
Mu Qingyun thought for a moment before realizing that it was her. Wang Xiaoru, the second daughter of the Wang family, the stepmother of An Guohou, the confidante of Jinyi Hou, and the heroine.
Wang Xiaoru looked at Mu Qingyun, feeling confused.
She seemed to be very familiar with this cousin girl. She was once her nightmare and the thorn in her heart that she couldn't pull out.
In her previous life, her husband was on guard against her, fearing that she would do something to her cousin. The old lady hated her and preferred this woman. Even her stepson and stepdaughter, who were born from her sister and were related to her by blood, had no respect for her at all. Instead, he would be polite to that cousin.
Wang Xiaoru relived her life and told herself again and again that she would never live her old life again. She would not fight for it or take it away from her. Whoever loved and wanted that man could take it. The child left by her sister was her sister's after all, and could never be hers. She doesn't need to care about her own.
But how could the life she had envisioned turn out to be like this? Wang Xiaoru is a living person. When she saw that the cousin girl from the Hou Mansion, whom she had hated all her life, did not enter the Hou Mansion as she expected, she grew wings on her back and flew up to the nine heavens.
Until now, Wang Xiaoru still feels like she is in a dream, not believing that everything in front of her is real.
"My cousin also fell in love with this batch of brocades that just arrived? But Dasheng and the last batch of good materials have now been sent back to our Marquis' Mansion. I'm afraid the rest won't be able to catch my eye. If my cousin likes it, I can pick some out later. I'll just send it to you."
Wang Xiaoru's expression is warm and her voice is neither salty nor light, as if nothing is lingering in her heart.
Mu Qingyun blinked, suddenly feeling a little guilty.
Just before going up the steps, she set a timer to play the holographic video.
But now I suddenly realized that when this video was broadcast, it seemed like it was trying to seduce Wang Xiaoru.
She didn't really have any objections to the heroine. Although from the original owner's point of view, it seemed that the heroine was the cause of the child's misfortune, but after all, in this era, women were miserable, so there was nothing to complain about. (End of chapter)
