Chapter 470 New Year Greetings
The next day was New Year’s Day.
It started snowing lightly again.
Everyone went to Fuyuan Hall early in the morning to pay New Year's greetings to the old lady.
Lu Xiang wrapped in a thick fox fur coat and holding a hand warmer, walked through the snow and wind to Fuyuan Hall, where he met Lu Qiao on the way.
When Lu Qiao saw Lu Xiang, she smiled and trotted towards her: "Third sister, Happy New Year."
Lu Xiang smiled and nodded: "Happy New Year." As she spoke, she took a small brocade box from Yun Zha's hand and handed it to Lu Qiao: "New Year's gift."
Lu Qiao opened her mouth in surprise and looked at Lu Xiang at a loss: "But...but I didn't..." I didn't prepare any gifts.
Ahhhh!
Let her faint, it's so embarrassing.
Lu Xiang smiled and said, "You are the youngest, so you just need to take it in."
Lu Qiao blushed and took the brocade box: "Thank you, Third Sister."
After saying that, the two of them walked towards Fuyuan Hall together.
Lu Youping and Zhao Qingya are already here.
The warmth in the room instantly dispelled the coldness on their bodies. Lu Xiang and Lu Qiao took off their fox fur coats one after another, and then greeted the old lady and Lu You in parallel.
Today, Lu Xiang was wearing a watercolor-colored double-breasted long skirt. The unique texture of the gold brocade made the skirt sway slightly with her movements, as if smoke was slowly gathering around her feet. Her whole body seemed to be on the sea waves and mist. She had a tortoise-shell beaded necklace tied around her waist, and her graceful posture was naturally elegant.
Lu Qiao wore a lotus-colored high-waisted, chest-length rose-red skirt with a loose skirt of the same color underneath. Her black hair was adorned with a ruby hairpin with the pattern of butterfly flowers, making her look poetic and picturesque.
The old lady smiled happily as she looked at her two pretty granddaughters.
"Okay, okay, get up quickly." The old lady smiled and asked the two to get up. Then she took out the red envelopes that had been prepared long ago and gave one to each of them.
The red envelope is very thin and looks like it contains silver bills.
"Thank you, Grandma."
The two thanked the old lady and took the red envelope.
Lu Qiao pursed her lips and smiled, then stuffed the red envelope into her sleeve, quietly happy.
Although she had received red envelopes from her grandmother on New Year's Day in the past, she was so afraid of her grandmother that she hardly even dared to raise her head, and her grandmother would never specially smile at her.
Over time, everyone has formed the perception that their grandmother is strict and dislikes them.
In fact, these grandchildren do not take the initiative to get close to their grandmother, so how can they expect their grandmother to put her face in front of their cold butts?
"Here, this is the New Year's money your father gave you." Lu Youping held two small carved wooden boxes in his left and right hands respectively.
Lu Xiang and Lu Qiao were stunned for a moment.
"Hurry, take it, I can't hold it anymore." Lu Youping gritted his teeth.
The two men hurried forward and each took one away.
Lu Qiao just started, and the heaviness of the object made her stagger and she almost lost her balance.
Oh my god, what was that thing dad gave me that’s so heavy?
Is there such a heavy amount of New Year’s money?
Lu Qiao complained in her heart while looking at Lu Xiang. She saw Lu Xiang's mouth twitched slightly and he glanced speechlessly in the direction where his father was sitting. That look...
How should I put it? I just feel disgusted.
The key point is that the master was still looking at the third sister with a smile on his face. The kindness in the old father's eyes seemed to turn into thick river water to drown the third sister.
Lu Qiao swallowed silently.
Dare to disdain your father and beat your elder brother...
Suddenly I realized that the men of the Lu family are so pitiful.
"Thank you, Dad." The two of them thanked him.
Lu Qiao's joyful voice was faintly tinged with excitement. No matter what her father gave her, she was happy.
Lu Xiang's tone was flat, and compared to his attitude towards the old lady, it seemed as if Lu Youping was not his biological father.
Lu Youping nodded at the two of them, not caring about Lu Xiang's indifference at all.
cough!
Thinking about how he got the position of Shangshu, Lu Youping felt that he could keep stable even if his daughter became more arrogant.
Her expression is calm, which reflects her calmness and composure in planning the overall situation.
Lu Xiang and Lu Qiao held the box and sat on the chairs beside them. The maids brought hot tea and waited for Lu Chao and Qiao Jingru.
"Huh? Why haven't these two kids come today?" Lu Youping asked in confusion after taking a sip of tea.
The old lady gave him a look and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? We are all family. It's just New Year's greetings. It won't make any difference if you get up late."
Getting up late means that there is hope for her great-grandson.
The old lady wished that the young couple would get up late every day and work hard for her little great-grandson.
Lu Youping stared at the old lady blankly: "..."
It's quite confusing.
We dare not say it, and we dare not ask!
Lu Qiao sat next to Lu Xiang and twisted her body a few times.
"What are you doing?" Lu Xiang asked, glancing sideways.
Lu Qiao moved closer to Lu Xiang and whispered, "Third sister, this box is so heavy. I don't know what my father gave me." She was curious, but was too embarrassed to open it directly here.
Lu Xiang smiled and said, "Silver ingots."
"Ah!?" Lu Qiao was stunned and stared at Lu Xiang blankly.
Lu Xiang looked at Lu Qiao's incredulous gaze and nodded heavily: "I'm sure."
She had just clearly seen the smug and arrogant look on her father's face when he took out the box, and he almost had the words "silver ingot" carved on his forehead.
New Year’s money is, of course, money.
The box is so heavy, what else could it be if not silver?
Lu Qiao was still shocked. She couldn't believe that her father, who had always been tall and steady, could be so stupid.
The New Year's money is a box of silver ingots...
Is he afraid that others don’t know he is rich?
It took Lu Qiao a while to come back to her senses. No wonder her third sister looked at her father with such disgust just now.
Lu Youping was unaware of Lu Xiang's disgust, and was very complacent about the New Year's money he gave out today.
A silver note is just a thin piece of paper. It doesn't have the weight of a box full of silver ingots in your hand, and you can also experience the joy of counting money.
Well, this is the happiness that only rich people can have.
Now Lu Youping also has one.
I no longer have to calculate my life frugally, and even I have become more generous with my spending.
The eldest daughter-in-law is good at managing the household.
It was unknown whether Lu Xiang had this kind of happiness, but it was obvious that Lu Qiao soon had it. Holding the box, she couldn't help but laugh secretly when she thought of its heavy weight.
How does Dad give out New Year’s money?
The amount alone was heavier than any previous year, and her little piggy bank had become much fatter.
Another cup of tea passed before Lu Chao and Qiao Jingru finally arrived.
I don’t know if it was because she walked too fast, but Qiao Jingru’s face turned red as soon as she entered the house, looking very cute and lovely.
"Grandson (daughter-in-law) wishes grandma a happy new year. Grandma, happy new year." The two stood in front of the old lady and saluted.
The old lady nodded with a smile and took out two red envelopes, one for each person.
"Thank you, Grandma."
Then, the two of them wished Lu Youping a happy new year.
Lu Youping still took out a box from his side and handed it to Qiao Jingru.
Qiao Jingru took the box in a daze, her expression exactly the same as Lu Qiao's just now.
Lu Chao: “…”
What is his father doing?
