Chapter 131 The sense of ritual of kowtow and New Year greetings!



When they entered the house, they saw the grandparents and grandchildren laughing happily. Seeing that everyone had arrived, Murong Shu stood up and saluted the elders, "Dad, Mom, Second Uncle, Second Aunt, Shu'er wishes you good health and happiness!"

"Hehe, we accept Shu'er's blessing. Your uncle will give you a big red envelope later." Mousse liked to hear auspicious words from his little niece.

"Grandma testifies for you that if the New Year's money your second uncle gives you is not enough, grandma will deal with him for you." The old lady patted Murong Shu's hand and joked with her second son with a smile.

"Mom, how can you not love your son now that you have a granddaughter? Your son is so sad!" Mousse said pretending to be very sad.

"How can you compare with mother's granddaughter?" Old Madam Mu asked Mousse with a smile, more as a joke.

"Mom is right! I also think Shu'er is better." Mousse agreed with the old lady's words. He also felt that his little niece was more worthy of his mother's love.

"Mom, your son and Wei'er wish you a happy new year. Wish you good health and longevity!" As the eldest son of the Mu family, Mu Shi brought his wife Song Wei to wish the old lady a happy new year.

"Get up. As the head of the family, you have been working hard outside. Wei'er has also been working hard to manage the Mu family." Old Madam Mu is most satisfied with her eldest daughter-in-law. She is well-educated, good at managing the household, generous and tolerant. The relationship between the first and second wives is as close as one family.

"Mother, your son and Qing'er wish you a happy new year. We wish you good health and a long life!" Mousse and Rong Qing knelt down and kowtowed earnestly to the old lady.

"Qing'er, get up quickly. It's enough that the intention is there. Why are you so sincere? It must hurt so much." The couple kowtowed so hard that the old lady felt sorry for them. She quickly helped her second daughter-in-law up, her eyes full of pity.

"Mother, it doesn't hurt." Rong Qing saw the old lady looking at her husband reproachfully. She was afraid that if she didn't say anything, her mother-in-law would blame her husband again.

"Good boy, you have worked hard these years, helping your sister-in-law to manage the household, managing the shop, and taking care of your unreliable husband."

The old lady patted Rong Qing's hand lovingly. She loved her second daughter-in-law from the bottom of her heart. She was capable and filial, and was very kind to her mother-in-law and other people in the Mu family.

"I am very content to be able to marry my husband. I have a sensible mother-in-law, sensible children, and sisters-in-law who are as close as sisters." Rong Qing said the truth. Her life is the envy of many people.

My parents' family is rich, my husband's family is powerful, the couple loves each other, the mother-in-law doesn't care about anything, the children are hardworking and filial, and the sisters-in-law are harmonious.

Next is the time for the grandchildren to pay New Year’s greetings.

This is the first year of Mousse Shu’s marriage and he is the eldest grandson so he is ranked first.

"Grandma, your grandson and your granddaughter-in-law Ruyan are here to wish you a happy new year. We wish you good health and a long life." Mu Sishu and Liu Ruyan kowtowed more sincerely than Mu Si and the others.

"Good children, get up quickly. You and Yan'er are both good children." The old lady quickly asked the two to get up. Her beloved grandson has become happier since he got married.

"Alan, give the New Year's money to Master Sun and Madam Sun." The old lady directly gave them silver bills. Because it was the first year of their marriage, she gave them a lot.

Then it was Mu Siqing who brought his third brother Mu Siyuan and fourth brother Mu Sijin to pay New Year's greetings to the old lady. The three of them were less than a year apart in age and usually spent the most time together. The old lady was happy to see this and prepared generous New Year's money for each of them.

Next came Murong Shu and Mu Siyu, both of whom were the old lady's favorites. After they kowtowed, the old lady also gave them a lot of silver notes. Not only that, the old lady also specially gave Murong Shu a lot of extra things.

"These things are what I prepared for Shu'er over the years. This is the first time Shu'er will spend the New Year at home, so I'll give them all to Shu'er. Don't object."

These things were originally prepared by the old lady for Murong Shu every year. The old lady had been in poor health in recent years and was afraid that she would not be able to wait for her granddaughter to come back. Now that her granddaughter has returned safely and healthily, of course she gave them all to her.

"These are all prepared by grandma for my sister. How can we have any objections?" The brothers answered in unison.

"They are all good children." The old lady smiled even more happily.

After wishing the old lady a happy new year, the younger generations also wished a happy new year to Mu Shi, Mousse, Song Wei and Rong Qing, and the four of them also gave each of them a big red envelope.

Several brothers also prepared big red envelopes for Murong Shu and Mu Siyu. Mu Siyu happily said to Murong Shu, "It's all thanks to my fifth sister. In previous years, the brothers didn't give as much as this year."

As the eldest sister-in-law, Liu Ruyan also gave New Year's money to several people. So after paying New Year's greetings in the morning, Murong Shu was so overwhelmed with the money that his hands were tied. The maids who followed her finally understood what the young lady meant by earning back the money.

After a group of people paid New Year's greetings to the old lady and chatted with her, the old lady urged everyone to go back to their own business.

The Mu family will have relatives coming to pay New Year's greetings, so Mu Shi and Mu Si will not go out on the first day of the new year every year and will stay in the mansion. Song Wei and Rong Qing will also choose to stay in the mansion to receive them.

In their first year of marriage this year, Mu Sishu and Liu Ruyan took the initiative to stay at the mansion to entertain relatives. Mu Siyu also stayed at the mansion because he liked the hustle and bustle.

Mu Siqing invited some classmates to go out, and Mu Siyuan and Mu Sijin also invited their friends to go out.

On the way back to Ningyuan with a few maids, Murong Shu saw the servants in the mansion heading to the front yard in groups. She curiously asked Xiao Tao, "What are they doing so early in the morning?"

"We should go to the front yard to collect the rewards. Every year on the first day of the new year, everyone in the mansion will give rewards. So this should be the time when the rewards are distributed." Xiao Tao heard her father, the housekeeper Zeng, say yesterday that rewards would be distributed in the front yard early this morning.

"Then why don't you guys go?" Murong Shu looked at the maids around him in confusion.

"Miss, you've already given it to us, how can we have the nerve to go and get it again?" Several maids said in unison.

"How can they be the same? What I send is one thing, and what others send is from the mansion. You should go and get it now. I'll wait for you here." Murong Shu did not go back to the yard, but urged them to go and get it quickly.

"Miss, it's cold outside. Let's go back to the yard first and we'll go out later." Xiao Tao was afraid that Murong Shu would get cold, so she wanted to persuade the young lady to go back to the yard first.

"You are not enthusiastic about collecting the money, which means you have a problem with your thinking. So, go and collect all the people in our yard and let them go back with me first. Uncle Zeng should be the one to distribute the money, so just say that I asked you to collect it." Murong Shu directly sent Xiao Tao to collect the money.

"Hey, I'll go right away and bring them all back for you. You must take good care of the young lady." Xiao Tao turned around and prepared to collect the reward money, but she worriedly instructed the other maids.

"Thank you Sister Xiaotao, we will take good care of the young lady." Several maids hurriedly assured.

Murong Shu and his companions had just walked for a while when they heard Xiao Tao shout, "Miss, please stay. Madam has sent someone to tell you to go to the front hall. Princess Mingyue has arrived."
