"Madam General, today is New Year's Eve. I'm giving you a red envelope. Thank you very much. I wish you good health in the new year!"
Gao Zhijun came to Liu Ningchu's east wing, and happened to be there with the Shangshu's wife and Murong Shuo. She gave Liu Ningchu a red envelope of five hundred taels.
Regardless of whether she is the original owner's biological mother, since she came to see her during the New Year, she should do her duty as a host and let her have a happy New Year.
"Thank you, Zhijun. Mother is very happy!"
Liu Ningchu happily took the purse and said happily.
"Mom also has a gift for you."
After Liu Ningchu finished speaking, he took a box from Chunlan and handed it to Gao Zhijun.
Gao Zhijun took the box with a confused look on her face, and then held it with a dull expression.
"Open it and see if you like it!"
Liu Ningchu said anxiously.
Gao Zhijun opened it obediently, but Liu Ningchu looked at Gao Zhijun anxiously, fearing that she would not like the gift he gave her.
When she opened the box, there was a set of jade headpieces inside. They were crystal clear and very beautiful. Gao Zhijun liked them very much.
Gao Zhijun said with a smile: "I like it very much, thank you, ma'am."
"As long as you like it!"
Seeing that Gao Zhijun liked it, Liu Ningchu put down his worries and felt very happy.
Gao Zhijun gave the Minister and his wife five hundred taels of silver each. The wife gave Zhijun a jade bracelet, and the Minister gave Zhijun an out-of-print medical book. Gao Zhijun loved these gifts very much.
She gave Murong Shuo two hundred taels of silver, and Murong Shuo gave her a golden hairpin.
After talking in the east wing for a while, Gao Zhijun went to the south wing, where Master Xie and Master Tao were staying.
"Taifu, Yuanzheng, you are all together, that's great, I don't have to look for Yuanzheng anymore."
Seeing the two of them talking together, Gao Zhijun greeted them happily.
"Girl, what do you want from me?"
"Master, what do you want to see me for?"
Taifu Xie and Yuanzheng Tao asked Gao Zhijun at the same time.
"Nothing. Isn't today New Year's Eve? I'm here to give you red envelopes. I hope you'll be healthy and live a long life in the coming year, and that all your wishes will come true!"
Gao Zhijun handed the two of them a purse containing three hundred taels of silver.
"Thank you, girl. I'm very happy. This is the first time I receive a red envelope during the Chinese New Year." In the past, he gave red envelopes to his wife, son and daughter-in-law, and grandchildren. Unexpectedly, he could also receive red envelopes.
"Master, that's not possible. It should be the disciple who gives you the red envelope."
Tao Yuanzheng said.
He had prepared a red envelope of 1,000 taels to send to his master later. Unexpectedly, instead of sending the red envelope to his master, he received a red envelope from his master.
"What are you talking about? You're spending the New Year with me, so naturally I should give you a red envelope. Please accept it quickly. This is my blessing to you. It would be inappropriate not to accept it."
Gao Zhijun said.
"That's right! Lao Tao, just accept it. Why are you being so pretentious at your age?"
Xie Taifu also advised.
"Okay, thank you, Master."
Tao Yuanzheng happily took the purse and said.
"Okay, you guys go ahead and talk. I still have some things to do. If you're too tired or sleepy, don't stay up to celebrate the New Year."
Gao Zhijun said.
"We know."
Tao Yuanzheng and Xie Taifu said.
Gao Zhijun left the south wing and went out of the second courtyard. She went to the Huo Mansion to find Huo Jinqian.
We found him in Jinqian's yard. He was playing mahjong with Jinzhou, Jinhao and others, while Yang Cuihua and others were playing poker.
This is what he asked the Huo family to do after he returned from Jingzhou.
"How's it going? Is it done?"
Gao Zhijun asked Huo Jinqian.
"I'm almost done with the fifth set of mahjong."
Huo Jinzhou spoke first.
"Okay, I'll teach you how to play Mahjong tonight, and use it to celebrate the New Year!"
Gao Zhijun said to Huo Jinzhou.
Knowing that people have to stay up all night on New Year's Eve here, she thought of playing mahjong and poker, which she did for fun in her previous life.
"Okay, we really want to see how to play mahjong."
Zhen Jinzhou said excitedly.
Ever since they made their first pair of Majiang, they have been very curious about it.
"Sister-in-law, what about you?"
Gao Zhijun asked Yang Cuihua and the others.
"Don't worry, Sixth Brother and Sister-in-law, we've already made nine pairs and are working on the tenth pair now."
Yang Cuihua said.
The poker cards are made of wood chips. The picture on them was drawn by Huo Jinqian and then glued onto the wood chips. It's very simple.
Gao Zhijun asked Master Wu to make the size of the wood chips and mahjong tiles. After they were completed, Gao Zhijun asked the Huo family to make mahjong and poker tiles.
"Okay, you don't need to make any more after this one. I'll teach you how to play poker tonight."
Gao Zhijun said to Yang Cuihua.
"I, we'll wait."
When they heard about playing poker, Yang Cuihua and others were very happy.
"Jinqian, take Zhijun out to see the night scenery and cultivate their relationship."
Huo Jinzhou whispered in Huo Jinqian's ear.
Huo Jinqian thought about it and thought, he had bought a hairpin to give to Zhijun, but he hadn't found another opportunity to give it to her yet.
"Zhijun, they can do it. Let's go outside. I have something to tell you."
Huo Jinqian said to Gao Zhijun. After that, he looked at her anxiously, hoping that she would agree.
"Oh, Jinqian is going to confess his feelings and whisper something."
Huo Jinting said jokingly.
"Seeing the truth but not speaking it out, don't you understand this principle? Do you want to kneel on the washboard tonight?"
Xie Xiaotao said angrily.
This idiot ruined such a good opportunity. I’ll see if she doesn’t teach him a lesson tonight.
"That's right, not as smart as your wife. Anyone with a discerning eye can see it, they just don't say it out loud. Why are you joining in the fun?"
Huo Jinqing said with disdain.
"My lady, I was wrong!"
Huo Jinting quickly apologized to his wife.
"Zhijun, the moonlight is beautiful tonight. Come out with Jinqian and talk."
Yang Cuihua said helpfully.
"That's right, you're all very busy and have little time to talk. The moonlight is beautiful tonight, so don't waste it. Let's go out and talk."
Liang Xiumei also offered her support.
"Yes, yes, go out and play, don't get in the way here."
Zhong Biyu and Huang Peilan drove them away directly.
Gao Zhijun had no choice but to follow Huo Jinqian away.
