The next morning, Su Qi only slept for two hours before getting up. She could hear the noises Erbao was deliberately making outside, so she couldn't stay in bed any longer.
Erbao was then dragged out by Dabao by the ears, "Mom is sleeping, don't disturb her."
"I'm already up, but Mommy hasn't gotten up yet. Bao wants to take the red envelope to pay New Year's greetings." Erbao took the opportunity to yell. "Sleepy Mommy, get up!"
Okay.
Now I can't sleep at all.
Su Qi felt like beating up Erbao, but she had been saving it up for the first day of the new year and would do it after the fifteenth.
Su Qi got up and put on a crimson jacket and skirt. She also wore a jacket of the same color, with white fox fur cuffs and collar.
She had her hair combed into a bun.
Two gold hairpins and a velvet peony were inserted.
Su Qi looked at herself in the mirror, finding herself increasingly beautiful. She applied some lip balm. Seeing her hair was a little thinner, she found a jade-emerald hairpin in her jewelry box and placed it in her hair.
Xianghe, who was outside the house, heard the sound and opened the door to come in.
"Madam, why don't you let this servant serve you?"
Su Qi smiled. "Can you help me check if the back is in order?"
Xiang He gently combed her hair several times with the comb, then inserted it into the middle of Su Qi's hair at the back. "That's perfect. Madam, bright colors suit you well. It looks so festive."
Su Qi put on the Storm Pear Blossom Needle and raised the corners of her eyes. "Is the red seal ready?"
"Everything is ready. Even the silver leaves are ready."
Su Qi went out first and worshipped the gods under the guidance of Gu Xiuming's mother. After worshipping the gods, she returned to the side hall.
She didn't quite understand these etiquettes and relied entirely on Gu Xiuming's mother for guidance.
Xiang He wrote down the steps and she would take Su Qi there from then on.
I ate a bowl of glutinous rice balls in the side hall, and left two uneaten in the bowl.
Dabao and Erbao couldn't wait to hang up their cloth bags and walked around the yard one by one. "Uncle, congratulations on your prosperity, give me the red envelope."
"Uncle, congratulations on your prosperity. Give me the red envelope."
"Master, Master. Wishing you prosperity and prosperity. Bring me the red envelope."
Dabao, Erbao, Niu Xibei, Su Tianci, Zeng Wuming and about ten other people ran over one by one.
Ke Suanzi covered his purse and squatted down, "Dabao, your mother hasn't given me the red envelope yet, why are you here first?"
Erbao squinted his eyes and shook the copper coins and candies in his cloth bag.
Hearing Ke Suanzi's stingy words, she rushed over and hugged his legs. "Master, you should give mother a red envelope."
"How could Master forget to give Mother the red envelope?" Dabao stepped forward and grabbed Ke Suanzi's beard.
Ke Suanzi was just about to get up but it was too late.
With two little guys hanging on his body, Niu Xibei ran over and climbed onto his legs.
The three little guys were making trouble for him, and Ke Suanzi fell to the ground completely.
"Su Tianci, Niu Dan. Help me quickly, my old waist needs help." Ke Suanzi felt that his position was in jeopardy.
These little guys are capable of rebelling.
Deserve a beating.
Just as he stretched out his palm, Zeng Wuming glared at him with his wolf eyes. "Mr. Ke, what do you want to do?"
"I was scratching, scratching." Ke Suanzi smiled embarrassedly.
Dabao and Erbao had already taken out more than a dozen red envelopes from his arms.
"Master has prepared so many red envelopes." Dabao stepped forward and kissed Ke Suanzi on the cheek.
Ke Suanzi was stunned.
Erbao also had a bite, followed by Niu Xibei.
He wiped the saliva from his cheek and looked at the brats with a mixture of laughter and tears. "You little brats, all you know is to bully an old man like me."
"Master, we like you." Dabao took two steps and wanted to help Ke Suanzi up.
like?
Why don't you believe it?
Ke Suanzi stood up and the red seal on the ground had been picked up by Zeng Wuya.
Zeng Wuya picked up the red envelope and gave it to Ke Suanzi, "Master Ke, the red envelopes are all here."
Ke Suanzi chuckled and distributed the red envelopes to the little guys. "Come on, everyone take one."
A dozen little guys thanked Ke Suanzi and ran to Su Tianze.
Su Tianze had already prepared it, a silver leaf for each person.
The little ones laughed out loud.
Yue Jiushao and Yue Qinggang were even more generous.
However, the red envelopes they gave to Dabao, Erbao and Su Tianci were different from those given to others. The red envelopes given to Dabao, Erbao and Su Tianci were thicker.
After Su Qi finished her breakfast, the servants of Qingfeng Garden gathered in the yard to wish Su Qi a happy new year.
Su Qi asked Xiang He to come forward and hand out red envelopes to everyone. There was no mistake in writing their names on them.
Xia He happily took the red envelope in her hand and squeezed it hard, feeling a lot. She walked to Su Qi's side and bowed crisply, saying, "Thank you for the reward, Madam. I will do my best to not let Madam worry."
"Xia He is so sweet with the red seal. Did she get up early to see if Madam got up?" Chun He stepped forward and bowed with a smile.
"Of course not! I'd be just as happy without the red seal."
"Really? Then donate the red envelope." Bai Zhi began to snatch Xia He's red envelope with her right hand.
Scared, Xia He quickly squatted beside Su Qi's legs, "No, no. This is a gift from the Madam, I must keep it well."
Su Qi smiled, holding the heater in her hand and looking at everyone who was in high spirits.
"Sister-in-law. We are here to wish you a happy new year too." Gu Beihe, Gu Beijing, and several other girls from the second branch of the Gu family, including Gu Beimei, all came.
Everyone was wearing red jackets and skirts.
The clothes were all given to them by Su Qi, but the patterns and styles were slightly different.
"Give red envelopes to the girls." Su Qi stood up and looked at the beautiful girls with a gentle smile.
"We have it too?"
"Of course. You haven't married yet. Everything is prepared for you."
Su Qi took a red purse from the box beside her and handed it to Gu Beihe and the others. Everyone had the same purse, and the silver hairpins inside were all of the same weight and style.
Gu Beimei picked it up and took a quick look at it, then covered her chest and said, "Sister-in-law, this is a bit big."
"It's okay. I'll keep it as my dowry."
These young ladies would never look at these things before. Even if they were concubines, they would have a few pieces of jewelry.
Now there is nothing.
Even the future dowry is a problem.
I can only save money myself.
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Gu Beihe's nose felt a little sour, and so did the others.
Gu Xiaoyue was the same as everyone else. She took the purse and looked at it, her eyes flickering. Her aunt came to her again, complaining that her younger sister was getting married without a dowry.
If you do this, you will definitely be looked down upon.
Gu Xiaoyue knew that her uncle and aunt could not enter the Gu family's house, nor could they do the work for the Gu family.
Life is naturally harder.
She hated her uncle and aunt, but felt sorry for her cousins.
She clenched the purse in her hand. The headdress inside was not big but valuable. She also wanted to keep it for herself, but what if her cousin had no money for a dowry?
"Xiaoyue, what's wrong with you?" Gu Beiting couldn't help but ask when she saw Gu Xiaoyue's conflicted look.
Gu Xiaoyue hurriedly put the purse into her sleeve and smiled. "I was just wondering if it would look good on me wearing the silver hairpin my sister-in-law gave me."
"What's the big deal? Just put it on." Gu Beijing was the first to take it out.
He handed the silver hairpin to Xiang He, "Xiang He, help me put it on."
Xianghe, Xiahe, and Chunhe all came over and helped them put them on.
The silver hairpin is not heavy, and the rose pattern on it is very beautiful.
"Sister-in-law, do I look good?" Gu Beiting pinched the purse and found something else inside. She opened it and saw two velvet flowers. "Oh, there are velvet flowers here."
Gu Beiting handed them to Xiang He and said, "Hurry up, help me put it on."
These girls still love beauty very much. The first thing Gu Beiting did after putting on the velvet flower was to ask everyone if it looked good.
There was joy in Qingfeng Garden.
Su Qi was so annoyed by these girls that she was pulled over and had a rose velvet flower pinned on her head.
Xiang He smiled and leaned over and said, "Madam, the front yard must also be sealed off."
"Let's go." Su Qi stood up. "Beiting, you guys can cook hot pot in the pavilion for lunch. The red plum trees in the corner are in full bloom. Have Xiao Liuzi bring two pots of camellia from the greenhouse."
"Sister-in-law, go and do your own thing. Don't worry about us." Gu Beiting knew that Su Qi was busy, so she quickly responded with a smile.
