The whole family was there during dinner in the evening, so Zhou Yu told his family about the post delivered by Cao Mansion today.

"Well, Cao Ge is always the leader of civil servants. Our family should go to him for his sixtieth birthday."

Zhou Bang nodded in agreement. Zhou Yan was already accustomed to his father's bad behavior. As long as it was said by his sister, his father would definitely say something else.

However, he only complained about his father in his heart. How could he be better off? He could not be as virtuous as his father.

"It's just that our family should give some gifts when the time comes."

When it came to giving gifts, the whole family was really inexperienced, so in the end they all looked at Zhou Yan.

Here, the person who has the most experience in giving gifts is Zhou Zhouyan.

And Zhou Yan did not disappoint his family.

"Leave this matter to me, you don't have to worry about it."

When they heard that Zhou Yan had taken over the job, the couple breathed a sigh of relief. They really didn't understand what was going on.

As for Zhou Yu, it's not that she doesn't understand, it's just that she has someone to rely on and wants to use her brains and thoughts.

The gift-giving was left to Zhou Yan, and there was no need to worry about the clothes for the family of four to attend the banquet. The embroidery room in the mansion would make new styles of clothes for the family every season, but the clothes were too cumbersome to wear for work. It was so convenient that the embroidery workshop in the Prince's Mansion only made two pieces for each family of four in one season, just to prevent things like going to a banquet from happening.

And because there is less work, the people in the embroidery room are afraid that the master above will think that they have too many people to do too little, so they put a lot of thought into the few clothes they make for one family every season, and the clothes they make are not at all beautiful. It’s no worse than what’s made in Xiuzhuang outside.

As for the Jinjia Village, the whole family still wears clothes made by Lianshi. The whole family is used to wearing clothes made by Lianshi when working.

Three days is neither long nor short, and it comes in the blink of an eye.

Early that morning, after the family of four packed up, they got on the carriage and went to Cao Mansion.

When the carriage from the Duke's Palace arrived on the street not far from Cao's Palace, they saw a long line of carriages in front of them. It looked like it would be a while before they arrived.

The family of four sat in the carriage chatting and eating snacks. Who knows if they will be able to eat when they get in later, so they felt it was necessary to eat some snacks at the moment.

This is the experience that the family summed up the last time they held a banquet at home, because not all the people who went to the banquet were able to eat.

Of course, a situation like the last banquet held by their family would never happen in Kyoto City for several years. When they finally arrived at their house, the family got off the carriage and came to the door, took out a sticker to identify themselves, and then Then send the congratulatory gifts you brought.

What Zhou Yan picked was a painting by a great master from the previous dynasty. Although that great master was not well-known, he had heard people say that Mr. Cao Ge liked that great master's style of painting better.

So after his sister told him about the gift, he thought of this painting. He got it accidentally when he was out walking a few years ago. Not many people knew about it. He didn't spend much money at that time. It's only one hundred and ten taels of silver.

But now the price of this painting has increased to 300 taels. Zhou Yan thinks it's almost enough to give it as a gift.

It's just that his identity has changed now. If Zhou Yan could attend Mr. Cao Ge's birthday party when he was in the Bai family, the gift he would choose would have to start at least two thousand taels. This is the difference in identity.

In fact, most of the gifts given by the courtiers in the Zhou Dynasty were not expensive. If your gift is heavy, let the censors know how to explain the origin of the money to them.

Although most houses have their own Zhuangzi shops, business is not that easy these days. Officials are generally not very good at business, so it is really not easy for a house to make a lot of money. many.

Like today's birthday banquet for Mr. Cao Ge, most of the courtiers' gifts were between a few hundred taels, and those who were closer could exceed a thousand taels. Except for those merchants, the gifts started at a few thousand taels. This is also the heart of the official circles of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Undeclared things.

The painting sent by the Prince of Anping County arrived in the hands of the steward who received the gift. The steward opened it and checked it first to make sure it was authentic before chanting at the door. "A painting is a gift from the Prince of Anping County."

Then the father and son were led to the front yard by the servant, and the mother and daughter were led to the backyard by the maid.

The family arrived not too early, so when the mother and daughter arrived in the backyard, they saw many ladies and ladies sitting or standing in the backyard garden.

The maid led him to the garden gate, bowed and left.

The mother and daughter entered the garden, and looking around the huge garden, they could see no one they knew.

But it doesn't matter if the mother and daughter don't know anyone else. Most of the people here know the mother and daughter.

As soon as the two entered, whispers could be heard from many places.

"Hey, look, those are not the Princess of Anping County and the Lord of Jiahe County. Why are they here today?"

"Don't even look at it. This is Mr. Cao Ge's sixtieth birthday. Who dares not to post under Cao Mansion? Even the princes have to give Mr. Cao Ge face."

"That's true. It seems that the Prince of Anping and his family are also people who want to follow people's influence. If they have the ability, they should stay away."

Such conversations were heard in many corners. Zhou Yu could guess at least what they were saying just by looking at their expressions. The most common thing about these people was that they had a lot of right and wrong, and she couldn't tell them one by one. Sew it on and say whatever you like.

Zhou Yu chose a quiet place to sit down with her mother, intending to take a look first before talking. As for talking to other ladies, neither mother nor daughter was in the mood.

To them, the ladies and ladies present here are not as important as the work in the fields. If the Cao Mansion had not placed a notice on their family, they would really not be willing to come.

If you have that time, you might as well do more work at home.

Anyway, the mother and daughter had the same mentality, and left after eating.

But just because the mother and daughter don't go to others doesn't mean that others won't come to them.

Not long after the two people sat down, the first lady led a half-grown girl towards the mother and daughter.

"Princess Princess, County Lord, why are you here instead of going over there to chat with the ladies?"

The woman looked familiar as soon as she came over, but the mother and daughter didn't buy her fault, they all looked at her.

"you are?"

The woman was slightly annoyed when the mother and daughter looked at her, so she reported herself to her family.

"Haha, it's normal if you don't know me. My master is Liu Yuanzheng from Tai Hospital."

After saying that, the woman pulled the little girl next to her and pulled the little girl to her.

"This is my little daughter Liu Tingting. Tingting has not met the princess and the county lord yet."

The little girl was about ten years old. She hid behind Mrs. Liu timidly and refused to show her face. Mrs. Liu was embarrassed and had to explain herself.

"This girl in my family is a little bit naive, I hope you two won't take it off."
