On New Year's Eve, the whole family stayed up together and played until very late before returning to the yard to rest. However, this did not affect their early New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year.

The first day of the Lunar New Year here is called Sui Ri, and the meaning of New Year’s greetings is to congratulate the elders on the New Year.

New Year's greetings usually start at home. On the morning of the first day of the New Year, after getting up, the younger generation should first greet the elders and wish them good health, longevity and all the best.

After receiving the greetings, the elders will distribute the "lucky money" prepared in advance to the younger generations. After greeting the elders at home, neighbors or relatives and friends can also visit each other to greet the new year or invite each other for drinks and entertainment.

On the first day of the new year, I returned to Ningyuan.

Murong Shu got up early in the morning. Xiao Tao felt sorry for her because she slept late last night. Seeing her getting up, she advised, "Miss, you slept so late last night, why don't you sleep a little longer?"

"Xiao Tao'er, don't sleep in today. Your young lady should be diligent. Come and help her get dressed. Bring the most festive one made by her mother. Of course, she should wear something festive on the first day of the new year." Murong Shu was so excited that he had no intention of sleeping. He ordered Xiao Tao to help him get dressed and get up.

"Hey, miss, please wait a moment. We will dress you up beautifully. Madam will definitely be happy to see you." Xiao Tao happily went to get the clothes and called the other two maids to help the miss dress up.

After the others helped Murong Shu pack up, Murong Shu distributed the purses he had prepared earlier to the others and said, "Thank you for your hard work last year. This is the New Year's money for you. You must accept it!"

"Thank you, Miss!" Several people thanked Murong Shu happily. Giving a purse on New Year's Day was meant to bring good luck. They were very happy, but they were stunned when they opened the purse.

"Miss, this is too much. We can't accept it!" Several maids wanted to return the silver to Murong Shu. There was really too much silver in her purse. Murong Shu gave each of them two taels of silver.

"Just take what the lady gave you. You have worked hard with me for a year, and this little money is not enough. Besides, today is the first day of the new year, and it is not appropriate to return the money."

Murong Shu knew that the maids didn't want her to give them so much silver, but the money was not much for her, and she was really satisfied with her maids, who were diligent, had little work to do, and were kind to her.

"Thank you, Miss. We hope we can be with you forever!" The few people were very happy. Their Miss had a good temper and was kind. They were lucky enough to be able to serve in the Miss's yard.

"You are used to serving me, and I can't bear to change you. Okay, don't feel bad about the money. I will go and earn the money back for your young lady later." Murong Shu had greeted his mother Song Wei early on, as he was going to give her New Year's money this year.

"Now that Miss has said that, we servants don't feel sorry for your money at all. I will bring you a big bag later to bring back all the New Year's money today." The maids knew very well how favored their mistress was in the shogunate.

"Smart, let's go, let's go to pay New Year's greetings. Xiaotao, get me a purse for men. Later, I, as your sister, will also prepare a big New Year's red envelope for our Sixth Young Master."

"Hey, I'll get it right away." Xiao Tao happily went to get the purse.

As the only younger brother in the mansion, Murong Shu loves Mu Siyu very much. He has been away from home for so many years, so naturally he prepared a big red envelope for his sixth brother this year.

"Come on, all of you come with me today, and we'll go directly to grandmother's yard." Murong Shu thought that New Year's greetings should be lively and enthusiastic, so he took several maids with him.

In Madam Mu’s yard.

"Madam, why did you get up so early today? The eldest and second masters may need a while, so why don't you take a rest?" The nanny was worried that the old lady couldn't hold on, so she advised her.

"Don't worry, Alan. I'm in good health. Ever since Shu'er came back, she has been helping me take care of my body. I feel much better now." The old lady said to the nanny with a smile. Alan was the nanny's maiden name. She grew up with the old lady and they were like sisters. The people in the Mu family also respected the nanny very much.

"Yes, your health has been getting better day by day since the fifth lady came back. Alan is happy to see this. Our fifth lady is really your lucky star." The nanny sincerely thought so. Since Murong Shu returned home, the old lady's health has been getting better day by day.

"Yes, Shu'er is my little lucky star. My mood gets better when I see Shu'er." The old lady was obviously partial to her. Of course, she had to spoil her granddaughter, whom she had finally gotten.

As the master and servant were talking, they heard a cheerful voice, "Grandma, Shu'er is here!"

"You just said that I got up early. Here are some people who get up early. Quickly welcome Shu'er in." The old lady asked Alan to welcome Murong Shu in.

Murong Shu wore the cloak given by Wen Jing today. After entering the house, he took off the cloak and handed it to Xiao Tao and the others. He then let go of the coldness from his body before walking up to the old lady.

"Grandma, you look so good today. I wish you good health and a long life!" Murong Shu's outfit was already pleasing to the eye, and these auspicious words made the old lady smile.

"Alan, bring the New Year's money I prepared for our fifth young lady. There will be rewards for the maids who came with her." The gift for Murong Shu was prepared by the old lady long ago. It was a separate one and was not included in the New Year's money.

"Thank you grandma. Shu'er knows that grandma loves Shu'er the most. Why don't you guys thank grandma quickly?" While Murong Shu was acting coquettishly with the old lady, she did not forget to ask the maids to thank the old lady.

"Thank you, old lady. I wish you a long life!" Several little maids followed suit. It was good to follow their own mistress, and they also received their own New Year's money.

The old lady held Murong Shu's hand, and the two of them were chatting about happy things. Their laughter filled the entire yard. Rong Qing, Song Wei and others heard Murong Shu's laughter as soon as they walked into the yard.

"Sister-in-law, I told you we were late. Look, Shu'er arrived much earlier than us." Rong Qing joked with a smile. Just now, Song Wei was still worried that Murong Shu would not be able to get up.

"You stayed up so late yesterday, I didn't expect you to still have so much energy!" Song Wei also didn't expect her daughter to come so early.

"Sister-in-law, Qing'er, let's go in quickly, otherwise mother will scold us again." Mousse hurried in when he heard his niece's voice.

"If mother wants to scold someone, it will be you!" Rong Qing teased her husband with a smile.

"Mom must be in a good mood today. Listen to her laughter, she definitely won't want to scold me!" Mousse analyzed with a smile.

"Father, if grandma doesn't scold you, it's all because of fifth sister." Mu Siyu's words made everyone laugh.

"What does a kid know? Learn more from your fifth sister." After saying that, Mousse left first, leaving the others laughing even more happily.
