Twin Brocade

Chapter 549 Assigning Jobs
"Big sister, you are too modest!" Fang Jinju laughed and said, "If you have nothing to offer, I should buy a piece of tofu and kill you."

"Hey, what's the matter? Don't talk about me, second sister, fourth sister, what about yours?" Fang Jinhui asked.

In previous years, although Mrs. Fang's birthday was not a big event, their filial piety as granddaughters was indispensable.Since it is the [-]th birthday this year, everyone is preparing for it.

Fang Jinshu smiled slightly, and said, "Don't you know my little needlework? It's really hard to do. I want to write a picture of a hundred years of life, and wish grandma a long life."

"Where is the fourth sister? The three of us know. I will ask the fifth and sixth sisters tomorrow. Don't be too serious about the birthday gift." Fang Jinhui said.

"I haven't made up my mind yet. I'll go back and discuss with the fifth and sixth sisters. Let's split up." Fang Jinju replied.

Fang Jinshu nodded and said, "That's fine."

"Girl, it's time for dinner." Qiao Hua came in and reported.

Fang Jinju glanced at the sky outside and said, "Ah, it's so late, I'm going back."

The little maid guarding the door lifted the curtain for her, watched her go out, the curtain was lowered again, and Fang Jinshu looked away.She always felt that Fang Jinju was not just here to write posts.

The following days became more and more busy.In the blink of an eye, it was the end of April, and there was one more day before Mrs. Fang's birthday.

It had been dark for more than an hour, and the lights in Mingyu Courtyard were still on.Si Lansheng was doing the final inspection, afraid that there might be omissions in any item.Under the lamp, she is so focused and serious.

"Miss hard work." Fang Shuyu walked in from the outside, said: "Tomorrow I have to work all day, so I will rest earlier."

"It's okay, I'll read it one last time." Si Lansheng raised her head and said with a smile, "If the master is tired, take a rest first."

Fang Shuyu said with a smile: "It's not just those things in my yamen, what's so tiresome." The recent government situation is stable, although there are reports from all over the world to the central government, but there is nothing as important as the false printing case event.

He went to the clean room to wash up first, then sat under the lamp with the book and began to read, accompanying Si Lansheng.

The atmosphere in the room was quiet and warm. After half an hour, Si Lansheng cleaned up and washed, and the two of them rested together.

The next day, everyone in the Fang family woke up early, and started to get busy with the tasks assigned by Si Lansheng.The kitchen got up earlier. In order to ensure the taste, today's pastries had to be steamed, and they started working from dawn.

The masters of the Fang family were not idle either, they all dressed up and went to Ci'an Hall to pay respects to Mrs. Fang.On weekdays, each room eats separately.But today, they all eat in Ci'an Hall, which makes it look lively.

It's still early, and it's not time for visitors.

Looking at the juniors gathered below, Mrs. Fang smiled from ear to ear.In her whole life, the most correct thing she did was to marry Fang Mu.

On this day, both Fang Mu and Fang Shuyu reported leave to the yamen, and Fang Shufeng did not go to the shop either.The juniors also took leave from school, just to celebrate Mrs. Fang's birthday well.

After breakfast, everyone went back to their rooms.

"Hui'er, Shu'er, please entertain your little sisters for me." Si Lansheng sat in the flower hall, and said: "Hui'er, you take care of the cakes, and Shu'er, you take care of the tea."

There are many trivial things about birthday celebration, so Si Lansheng divided them into two and let them take care of them respectively.It also means to let them feel it in advance and practice their hands.

The two agreed, and the corresponding daughter-in-law in charge and maidservant below greeted them respectively.Today, anyone who is related to these two things should look for them.

"Auntie, can you also assign the same to me?" Fang Jinju cautiously asked after seeing the ceremony.She was older than Fang Jinshu.But with Bai Shi, Bai Shi refused to teach her anything.

Looking at her appearance, Si Lansheng thought that these days she always came to share some trivial matters, thought for a while and said: "Since Miss Ju has a heart, how about taking care of the cups and saucers for me?"

At the birthday banquet, a lot of cups, plates and chopsticks will be used, so bumps and bumps are unavoidable.

On such occasions, these complete sets of tableware will leave a few more spares and put them in the warehouse separately in advance. When they are needed, they will be fetched to match them, so that they will not be messed up temporarily.

This job is simple and does not involve food, so it is just right to hand it over to Fang Jinju.

After getting the errand, Fang Jinju happily said: "Don't worry, auntie, I will handle it well." As a concubine, she was doomed not to be able to take on the task of greeting girls like Fang Jinshu and sisters.

Following Si Lansheng's assignments one by one, there were fewer and fewer servants and servants in the flower hall, and the time has reached Sishi.Some early guests have arrived one after another, and the Fang family gradually became lively.

The Fang family is from a scholarly family, and most of the people who came to celebrate their birthdays were civil servants and students.Those who came earlier were mostly Fang Mu's subordinates in the Ministry of Rites, and those who were of a lower rank than Fang Shuyu in the Imperial Academy, as well as some distant relatives of the Fang family.

Since I came to pay respects to my birthday, the first thing I did was to meet Mrs. Fang.

In the Ci'an Hall, Mrs. Fang was sitting on top of it happily in a brocade dress with pine and crane patterns and flowers.

People are in good spirits on happy occasions, and everything has been going well in the Fang family for the past two years.In the court hall, Fang Mu's official career was stable, and Fang Shuyu gained a foothold in front of the imperial court.

In the back house, Si Lansheng managed the family well, and all the grandchildren in the long house had good marriages, and all those troubles could not reach Mrs. Fang.

Even Fang Zhe Yifang, who has always had constant affairs, has settled down now.Without Fang Shucai, the incomprehensible and kind-hearted Fang Jinpei, Pang now feels at ease and only guards Fang Shuren and his wife.Youshi finally understood the responsibilities of being a mother, and spent time with Fang Jinwei in her free time.

In this way, why isn't Mrs. Fang refreshed?
The guests complimented Mrs. Fang's youth one after another. In the front porter's room, gift slips were collected like flowing water.

Such an important day means that the Fang family, a rookie in the imperial court, has officially established their foundation in Beijing and gained their own influence.In the court, he also has a certain influence and the right to speak.

It's really not easy to have such a situation.

Fang Shuyu greeted the guests in front, she really sighed in her heart.Looking back on the storms that the Fang family has encountered in the past few years, fortunately, they all survived safely.

Those who came earlier were the in-laws of the Fang family.

The sons and daughters of Mrs. Fang's long house, such as Fang Muqing, the first daughter who married into the Hao family, and Fang Mulin, the concubine who married the chief minister of the Jingzhao Mansion.As well as Si Lansheng and Bai's natal family.

On the other side of the second room, there are the natal families of the Pang family, You family, and Qu family, as well as the married Pang family's first daughter Fang Muhua and concubine Fang Mudi.Fang Muyan married too far away, even Mrs. Fang's birthday could not be congratulated, so she had to send someone to give her a birthday gift.
