On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Jiang Yuanxi was dressed very festively.
She was wearing a big red flowered jacket and had two small buns on her head with two small golden bells hanging on them.
Every time it moves, it makes a ringing sound, which is very cute.
Jiang Yuanxi shook his head from time to time and found it amusing himself.
The silver bell-like laughter spread throughout the whole room.
The four people sitting in front of her were staring at Jiang Yuanxi like fools.
Jiang Yuancheng lay on the side, "Second brother, do you think my sister can stay with us for a long time?"
Jiang Yuanwu thought about it.
"Of course not. Women have to get married."
Thinking of something, the father and son became unhappy.
Jiang Fengyuan felt uncomfortable when she thought that one day in the future some boy would kidnap her daughter.
He said in a hoarse voice: "Why marry? If anyone wants to marry, it should be you guys."
The three sons all looked at Jiang Fengyuan.
That look seemed to say: Dad, are you serious?
Since ancient times, there has been no reason for men to get married.
Jiang Yuanxi happened to hear the conversation between several people and laughed.
[Why marry someone who has no ambition? My parents have worked hard to raise me, and I need to earn money to support my family.]
Jiang Fengyuan nodded repeatedly. His good daughter was thoughtful and considerate of him and his mother.
But Jiang Yuanxi suddenly said a few more words.
[Then I will open a mansion, keep a group of handsome men, and change them every day. ]
The air was silent for a while, and several people had complicated expressions.
Jiang Yuansheng, who was always well-mannered, opened his mouth but said nothing in the end.
At this time, Chen packed up and walked out from the inner room.
A moon-white brocade dress outlines her slender waist.
She has a peerless appearance and extraordinary elegance.
Jiang Fengyuan stared blankly.
[Hehe, look at my dad's worthless appearance, you must be stunned. ]
Not to mention him, even Jiang Yuanxi was stunned.
Jiang Fengyuan's old face turned red.
The three sons turned around and laughed.
Chen curled her lips slightly: "Chunzhi, take your things and let's go over there."
The couple took their son and daughter to pay their respects to the old lady.
As soon as the people from the main room arrived, the bustling hall suddenly became quiet.
Today, Chen was indeed eye-catching. Jiang Qisheng from the second house had his eyes glued to her since Chen came in.
After several people finished their congratulations, Chen asked someone to bring up the prepared gifts.
The servant came over carrying a large item.
The old lady raised the corner of her mouth.
In previous Chinese New Years, the Chen family’s gifts were the most impressive.
This year, it looks even better.
Under everyone's expectant gaze, Chunzhi pulled down the red cloth on top.
A huge merit box appeared in front of everyone.
The old lady frowned slightly. For some reason, she recalled the fear she felt when she was dominated by the lotus root soup many days ago.
She said in a cold voice, "Chen, what are you doing?"
Chen Xinwan bowed her head and said, "Dad, Mom, let's celebrate the New Year in the hope of good luck. There was a flood in the south of the Yangtze River, and many court ladies distributed porridge and grain to accumulate blessings for their descendants."
"My daughter-in-law followed their example and ordered people to build a merit box. Everyone can donate money on their own. My daughter-in-law will send the merit box to Jiangnan to help those suffering people."
[Yes, yes, mother, let them return all your money and donate it, don’t give it to them.]
After Chen finished speaking, everyone was moved.
Duke Anguo: "In that case, it is a great achievement."
The old lady was excited when she heard this. She had practiced Buddhism in the temple for some time.
Knowing that everything is subject to cause and effect, good deeds will yield good results.
The more you donate, the more you get in return.
But no matter what, I have never seen anyone carrying a donation box to ask for money.
Besides, after the last incident, the Duke's Mansion didn't have much money left.
Thinking of this, the Duke and the Old Lady were no longer happy.
Wu Cuirou said nonchalantly, "Sister-in-law came here just to ask for money. Is this the gift you gave to the old lady and the Duke?"
Find the key point in one sentence.
Chen was not flustered: "Sister-in-law, please don't blame me. This matter is good for the country, the people, and the Duke's Mansion. It has accumulated thousands of merits. How can it not be considered a courtesy?"
The beauty frowned, and Jiang Qisheng's heart also tightened.
"Rou'er, my sister-in-law is doing this for the good of the Duke's Mansion. You have to understand her."
Wu Cuirou was filled with anger.
Jiang Fengyuan frowned.
Since he came in, Jiang Qisheng's eyes have been on Xin Niang.
It seems that I didn’t hit him lightly last time.
Chen carried the merit box in front of everyone, and even Jiang Hui took out ten taels of silver.
Although I know that donating money can accumulate virtue for myself, I always feel uncomfortable.
Aunt Hua took out twenty taels of silver and put it in with a painful look on her face.
Jiang Ruowei behind her took a step forward.
Aunt Hua whispered, "Ruowei, go back quickly."
My daughter has always been opinionated, but now is not the time to show it.
Jiang Ruowei stood up despite Aunt Hua's obstruction.
"My aunt is kind-hearted, so I guess she donated a lot."
Wu Cuirou secretly curled her lips. Although Aunt Hua was annoying, her daughter was not bad.
I know it will cause trouble for Chen.
Jiang Yuanxi poked his head out from his father's arms.
[Isn't it possible that the heroine has taken refuge with Wu Cuirou? ]
Chen thought so too.
After being reminded by Jiang Ruowei, the old lady also became curious.
Although I donated one thousand taels to do good deeds, I still felt bad.
She looked at Chen: "Yuan Xi is still young, and you are a soft-hearted person, so you must have donated a lot."
Chen sneered in his heart.
These people just feel uncomfortable paying for their own things, and they also want others to donate.
In this case, for Yuan Xi, she had no choice but to donate.
Chen smiled slightly, "My daughter-in-law has prepared it."
