Chapter 48
"How could it be? The girl Zhaofu was really uncomfortable, so she asked the old servant for leave. Looking at her pale face, I can see that she is really uncomfortable."

Mother Kang watched Zheng grow up, so she naturally turned to her, but she also knew that although she was a dowry mother, in the final analysis, she was nothing more than a servant.

She understands that being a servant is not easy, even at her age, she will be wronged occasionally.

Furthermore, Zhao Fu followed from Zheng's family, so she had watched her grow up. She was indeed wronged yesterday, and she should help cover it up.

When Mother Kang said so, Mrs. Zheng snorted, her face became stronger, and after thinking about it, she still ordered, "Then give some girls some cloth and let them make their own clothes!"

"Yes." After answering, Mother Kang sighed in her heart. It is indeed a good thing to make clothes for Rabu, but this does not show her comfort to Zhaofu at all.

But she couldn't say anything more, looking at Madam's appearance, she was obviously worried again, if she talked too much, she would suffer if she didn't keep it all.

In Qingzhi Garden, Cui, who had had breakfast, took the girls to sit in the side hall.

First, he talked about going to Cui's house to pay New Year's greetings during the Chinese New Year, and then he talked about the girls' new clothes.

After all, the new year is coming, and in previous years, new clothes will be made, not to mention that this year when Shen Yunlan returns to the mansion, he will go to Cui's house to pay New Year's greetings. Not only will there be new clothes, but also new jewelry.

After the new year, sisters Yunlan and Yunjin are only nine years old, they are still little girls, but Shen Yunjie is 11 years old.

When a girl is twelve or thirteen years old, she can meet each other, and then get engaged, or get married when she is young, or stay in the family for a year or two to marry.

Considering this, Cui not only prepared jewelry for her, but also prepared rouge and gouache. After all, the girl loves beauty even more when she gets older.

About going to Cui's house for New Year's greetings, Mrs. Cui discussed with Shen Xu, and even without Shen Xu's opening, they agreed to take the concubine and concubine daughter to Cui's house.

Shen Xu was naturally happy about this, he wished that his concubine could gain more glory from the Cui family.

Although he didn't go to Xiao Zheng's, he knew from Xiao Zheng's that when the children went back to Jinyang Tower for the second time, they not only met Thai King Xiao Jin, but also the second prince of the official family.

Not only did Shen Yunming have regrets, but he also felt that it was a pity that if the girls in the family were older, they would have some relationship with the royal family if they didn't keep them together.

Of course, he didn't dare to tell Mrs. Cui these words.

"I heard that Jinyang Tower sent a jar of sweet wine?" On the way back from Jinyang Tower that day, Shen Yunlan said that sweet wine would be delivered on the day of Xiaonian.

On the day of the new year, it was delivered as expected.

"It's a jar of wine. Don't worry, mother. The jar of wine is in my daughter's Jinhuayuan. With me watching, I'm sure there will be no mistakes."

Shen Yunjin responded with a smile, and Cui waved his hand, "I'm not at ease, but I just heard that the sweet wine is delicious, and I want you to send me a pot to taste it."

When she was unmarried, Cui Shi was the youngest girl in her family, and her brothers and sisters loved her dearly, and they would cling to her for anything good.

Once, when she was young, she drank wine secretly, went to the house and climbed trees.

Ever since she married into the Shen family, when she first got married, she occasionally had a drink with her husband.

But she still failed to conceive, and then there was no time for husband and wife to drink together.

"After that, I will ask someone to bring a pot to my mother. If my mother likes it, I will go to Jinyang Tower and buy two jars back." Cui Shi's words surprised the sisters. Shen Yunjin spoke again, and Cui Shi nodded.

Since childhood, the capital city has become more and more lively, and every household is almost the same every day.

On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, there was a snowfall, which lasted until the thirtieth day. Although tomorrow was the first day of the lunar new year, the people were still very happy, thinking that this was a good sign, and that the coming year would definitely be smooth.

In Shen's residence, Mrs. Zheng is in charge of Zhongfu, and she is in charge of the New Year's affairs.

At first, she wanted Cui Shi to help her, but when Shen Yunlan and Shen Yunjin found out, they naturally strongly opposed it.

However, before the sisters could say anything, Cui tried to push it away.

"The gift is in her hands. Even if she asks me for help, it must be something thankless. Why should I suffer from that?"

In private, Cui and the two sisters talked about their own thoughts, and the two sisters nodded repeatedly, and they thought so too.

Because it was New Year's Eve, the servants in the mansion were busy, but there was joy on their faces.

In the evening, although the head room is not there, the second room and the third room have to get together for dinner.

In the same room, there are not many people in total, but a screen has to be erected in the middle, men sit at one table, and women sit at one table.

This is very embarrassing, there are only four people at the men's table, but there can be more at the women's table.

If you have anything to say, you have to say it through the screen, but the second old man is hard of hearing, and if you want to say a word to him, you can't wait until your voice becomes hoarse.

After eating a meal, I don't feel how lively it is, I just feel that my throat is uncomfortable and my head is buzzing.

"Old master, second master, third master, the elder master has sent a letter!" Outside the door, there was a servant's voice, Shen Xu and Shen Pei could hear it clearly, but the second elder master didn't hear anything.

"Say what?" Turning to look at Shen Pei, the second old man yelled.

"Brother has a letter!" Shen Pei hurriedly opened his mouth and shouted at the second old man.

"What's the matter?" I had yelled a lot to the second old man before, Shen Pei's voice had long been hoarse, and the second old man didn't understand it.

So, Shen Pei yelled again, four or five times before the second old man finally understood.

The servants were almost frozen at the door, Shen Xu gave an order, and he hurried into the room, hesitating and not knowing who to send the letter to.

Apart from deaf ears, the second old man's eyes were not very good, so Shen Xu took it over and opened it to read it.

The Shen family members were all in the house, and the women were on the other side of the screen. When they heard the letter from the chief house, they all listened with their ears.

Zheng's heart pounded, secretly glad that all the belongings of the long house have been redeemed now, and he doesn't know what the letter said.

"The elder brother's family is all right in Dongdu. They have received a transfer order from the imperial court. They will be able to return to Shangdu after the new year's handover."

After reading the letter, Shen Xu handed the letter paper to Shen Pei. He was adopted to the second old man, so naturally he should explain to the second old man.

After receiving the letter, Shen Pei had a bitter face, took a sip of tea first, and then explained to the second old man.

On New Year's Eve, we have to watch the New Year's Eve, and by midnight, Shen Pei was speechless.

After a while, you can go back to your room to rest. Jinhuayuan and Changxinyuan are in the same direction. The two sisters walked down the corridor arm in arm.

"After the new year, big sister will be 13 years old, is she engaged this year, or next year?" Lowering her voice, Shen Yunlan asked Shen Yunjin in a low voice.

"It's almost settled this year, and we will get married next year." After thinking about it, Shen Yunjin responded, "In the past, the eldest sister married the best, don't worry."
