Chapter 313: Fighting for favor on New Year’s Day!
New Year's Day.
The children are definitely the first to get up.
As soon as her daughter woke up, Qin Zhizhi fed her first, and then changed her into a super festive New Year's dress.
This set of New Year's greeting clothes was based on the pattern that Qin Zhizhi and Wanwan exchanged, and was specially made by the skillful nanny in the mansion.
After the little girl put it on, Gu Jinghuai was very satisfied and said jokingly with a smile, "She is so cute, I would feel bad if I didn't give her a big red envelope."
"Of course, it's because our Nian Nian is so cute." Qin Zhizhi handed her daughter to Gu Jinghuai who had already packed up.
Gu Jinghuai took his daughter and played with her for a while, then handed her to the maid, "Take the little lady to the baby room next door to play for a while, and make sure you keep an eye on her."
"Yes, young master!" The old woman carefully took Gu Nian and carried her to the next room.
"My wife, let me help you put on makeup!" Gu Jinghuai took over Qingliu's job again.
Qingliu bowed with a smile and retreated with the maids.
"Then I'll have to trouble my husband today!" Qin Zhizhi sat obediently waiting for Gu Jinghuai to help her put on makeup.
Ever since marrying Qin Zhizhi, and especially after coming to the capital, Gu Jinghuai had specially learned how to put on makeup, and now he does it with great ease.
Qin Zhizhi has a good foundation, so simple light makeup is enough. Gu Jinghuai is best at drawing eyebrows for Qin Zhizhi.
After a short while, Qin Zhizhi looked at herself in the mirror and felt extremely satisfied.
"My husband is so amazing, he draws better than me!" Qin Zhizhi praised him generously, which made Gu Jinghuai's mouth curl up.
Everyone in the capital knows that Gu Zhuangyuan is an excellent painter, but no one knows that he only wants to draw eyebrows for one person in his life.
After putting on makeup, Qin Zhizhi wore clothes of the same color as Gu Jinghuai today, which was a bit like a couple's outfit, and Gu Jinghuai felt even happier.
The two went out hand in hand, and Gu Jinghuai went next door to pick up his daughter. The three of them went to Gu Shi and Mu's yard together.
Mrs. Mu never let Qin Zhizhi pay her respects. She was very satisfied with her own daughter-in-law, but Qin Zhizhi would always visit her when she was not busy.
The relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is very harmonious. It was good in the countryside before, and it is still good in Beijing.
Gu Shi got up early today and prepared big envelopes for the children.
When Qin Zhizhi and Gu Jinghuai brought Gu Nian in, it was obvious that the Mu family and others were already waiting for them.
"Jinghuai, Zhizhi, you're here, come in quickly!"
Mu's heart and eyes were filled with her son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter, especially her little granddaughter Gu Nian, whose eyes never left her.
"Mom, Nian Nian has been missing you since early this morning. Hurry up and hug her."
How could the little girl miss someone when she is less than two months old? Gu Jinghuai said this just to make Mu happy, but Mu fell for it.
"Grandma's dear granddaughter, come and give me a hug. Grandma misses us too!"
Mrs. Mu took the little granddaughter from her son and was extremely fond of her.
Mrs. Mu also gave her granddaughter a big red envelope, and then saw Gu Shi just grinning foolishly beside her. Mrs. Mu glared at him, and Gu Shi quickly took out a big red envelope.
Gu Jinghuai and Qin Zhizhi kowtowed to Mu and Gu Shi together, and Gu Shi and Mu also prepared New Year's money for them.
As uncle and aunt, Gu Jingshu and Gu Jingyao also prepared New Year's money for Gu Nian.
As the eldest sister-in-law, Qin Zhizhi gave each of them a dozen silver notes for their daily spending.
The two of them happily thanked Qin Zhizhi. In their hearts, their sister-in-law was a very important person.
If Gu Jinghuai and Qin Zhizhi had a conflict, they would stand on Qin Zhizhi's side without hesitation.
Sister-in-law always ranks first in their hearts.
After staying in the mother-in-law's yard for a while, the family went to the old lady's yard to pay New Year's greetings.
On the way, I met the eldest princess, Gu Ting and Gu Yunlang.
"Uncle, aunt, happy new year."
Qin Zhizhi greeted the eldest princess and Gu Ting warmly as soon as she saw them.
"Our Nian Nian also got up so early today, what a good child!"
The eldest princess was filled with joy as she looked at the little girl in festive attire. She had already prepared a large red envelope and would give it to the old lady when she got there.
"Sister-in-law, Happy New Year!" Gu Yunlang saw Qin Zhizhi and immediately walked over, pushed Gu Jinghuai away, and walked next to Qin Zhizhi.
Gu Jinghuai smiled dotingly. It was Qin Zhizhi who picked up Gu Yunlang. Even though he had returned to Beijing now, Gu Yunlang still had special feelings for Qin Zhizhi.
That is an existence that no one can replace. The eldest princess and Gu Ting saw it and felt more grateful to Qin Zhizhi in their hearts.
"This is for you. It belongs to both my sister and brother. It's yours." Qin Zhizhi handed the purse containing the banknotes to Gu Yunlang.
"Thank you, sister-in-law!" Gu Yunlang happily took the purse, held it in his arms like a treasure, and smiled happily.
Qin Zhizhi pulled him towards the old lady's yard.
Gu Ting looked at the princess aggrievedly, as if to say, "I gave him so many banknotes, but I never saw him smile so happily at me."
The eldest princess was too lazy to pay attention to Gu Ting, thinking to herself, if you have the guts, go and make trouble with your son.
"Brother, accept your fate. We two brothers are at the bottom of the family."
Gu Shi patted his elder brother Gu Ting on the shoulder, trying to comfort him.
Gu Ting changed his aggrieved look and said proudly, "Second brother, I think I am better than you. After all, mother likes me more."
Gu Shi was depressed. He tried to comfort his elder brother, but his elder brother hurt him.
Isn't it just that mom has been favoring the eldest brother recently? He is the one who gave birth to a granddaughter, and he wants to rely on the granddaughter to win back mom's favor.
Gu Shi thought that if he took his granddaughter to visit his mother to wish her a happy new year, his mother would definitely look at him with higher regard.
He looked up to find his little granddaughter, but found that she was held by his eldest sister-in-law. Gu Shi gave up hope instantly.
If he were held by his wife, he could still negotiate with her and let her hold him for a while.
Now he is being held by his elder sister-in-law, and she is looking out for him. If he dares to grab it, his elder brother will beat him without delay on the first day of the new year.
Gu Shi had no choice but to give up, but he was looking for an opportunity along the way, hoping that his sister-in-law would be tired of holding him and give him a chance.
As a result, after entering the old lady's yard, the eldest princess directly returned Nian Nian to Gu Jinghuai.
The sister-in-law didn't dare to snatch it, and neither did her son. Gu Shi thought a hundred times along the way, but none of them was of any use.
The old lady has already gotten up and washed up, waiting for her children and grandchildren to come and pay their New Year's greetings.
After coming in, the eldest princess, Gu Ting, Gu Shi and Mu first wished the old lady a happy new year.
The old lady would never really let the eldest princess kneel down. She simply stopped her and Mu from kneeling, saying that the ground was too cold.
Gu Ting and Gu Shi knelt on the ground and kowtowed. Who are we? Where are we? The ground where we two brothers kneel is not cold at all. Mother's heart is not with them.
Then came Qin Zhizhi and Gu Jinghuai. Qin Zhizhi and Gu Jinghuai insisted on kowtowing to the old lady.
Grandmother loves them very much on weekdays, so it is only natural for them to kowtow to her during the New Year.
The old lady was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. She kept praising them for their filial piety and gave each of them a big gift.
