One hundred and thirty-five · First day of the new year

On the first day of the new year, everything is renewed.

According to the rules of the capital, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, people worship the family year, the ancestor year, and the ancestral hall year. The Su family got up early in the morning, and the sound of firecrackers never stopped. Even the birds on the trees were frightened and flapped their wings.

Fly away in panic.

The thrushes hanging out in the corridor were also shouting loudly, and everyone's face was filled with joyful smiles.

Since the second half of the year, the Su family has been uneasy. Something happened to some of the masters, either you or others. The trouble in the second half of the year was very difficult, and the servants were all worried. Now the new year has begun.

, not to mention whether luck will improve, but during the Chinese New Year, a lot of silver rewards will be given, and the masters will all have smiles on their faces. Naturally, everyone will be working hard.

This year’s Chinese New Year is the same as in previous years. Mr. Su Er cannot come back while he is in office. Mr. Su San, as the eldest male elder in the family, led a group of children to worship their ancestors, lit firecrackers, and then began to welcome the elders and relatives from the clan.

of guests.

The backyard was also very busy, and the people in front couldn't stop eating. After one group left, the next group came in a blink of an eye, and cups, plates, glasses of wine, and snacks had to be added. In addition, close clan members also brought their wives.

You also have to entertain.

On the first day of the new year, various temples and Taoist temples come to visit, and dragon and lion dancers are also walking in the streets. Normally, these can be ignored and they can't come to the door of the uncle's house, but today, it is necessary.

Proper entertainment arrangements are made.

Mr. Su San was so busy that his feet never touched the ground.

Mrs. Su San also had a lot of things to do. She had hardly stopped since she got up early in the morning to greet the old lady. She had been in the meeting hall all the time, but even though she was so busy, she couldn't help but be distracted from time to time.

So when the people below reported that someone from the Zhongyong Hou Mansion had arrived, she was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously said: "Go tell the third master and ask him to go out to greet him."

The Zhongyong Marquis Mansion is an in-law of the Yongding Bo Mansion. The two families have a close relationship, so it is natural for them to come to pay New Year's greetings.

The Gao family didn't move, looking at her in surprise.

The messenger didn't dare to move, and looked at the Gao family in a daze and embarrassment.

Mrs. Su San didn't hear the sound, and she immediately raised her head impatiently. She raised her eyebrows and was about to get angry when she suddenly realized something was wrong - Zhongyong Houfu was an in-law and the eldest aunt's husband's family. How could there be a reason to come to the house on New Year's Day?

The second day of the Lunar New Year is the day to go back to your parents’ home.

My aunt was brought up by Mrs. Su. She is a person who knows the rules best. She always does things in an orderly manner and never makes mistakes. How could she come back at this time?

Mrs. Su San realized something was wrong and frowned as soon as she slapped her forehead: "Who is here? Did you tell me what happened?"

She was confused.

Yesterday, Su Xingxuan hinted that something big would happen to her today. She was thinking about this wholeheartedly. She also had to think about Mrs. He entering the palace. Things at home were so complicated that she didn't react at the moment.

come over.

The messenger breathed a sigh of relief, but then became worried again: "Going back to the Third Madam, here comes the daughter-in-law of the chief housekeeper of the Zhongyong Hou Mansion. The Xu family seems to have some bad intentions."

It seems that it is a good thing to be able to ask the mother below to say such things.

Mrs. Su San couldn't help but be amazed. Su Xingyi may be very patient and seems to be quiet, but she is a person who can succeed in everything. She won't suffer at home, and I heard that it is smooth sailing in her husband's family - of course there is no need.

People say that this can be seen in the New Year's gifts and the pomp and ceremony when they come back during the holidays.

Especially in recent years, Su Xingyi became pregnant with her third child after giving birth to two sons.

Logically speaking, the Zhongyong Hou Mansion has nothing to be dissatisfied about, so why did they come to visit them on the first day of the Lunar New Year?

She was so slanderous in her heart, but Mrs. Su San knew that Mrs. Su was never vague about the big house. If something went wrong, it would be her fault as the aunt. She didn't dare to do anything wrong.

I advocated asking people to invite the Xu family in immediately.

The Xu family was wearing a brand-new brown jacket with a horse-faced skirt that is now in fashion. Different from the politeness when they came here, this time the Xu family behaved in a particularly unapproachable manner, with a hint of menace.

Mrs. Su San was puzzled, but she still had the same faint smile on her face: "What kind of wind has brought you here during the Chinese New Year?"

Mrs. Zhongyonghou's arm belongs to the Xu family. She is the largest one in the Zhongyonghou Mansion besides her master. Even the younger masters give her a lot of respect. As in-laws, the Su family naturally knows this.

But it is clear that a servant is a servant after all. Mrs. Su San was not arrogant when she saw her arrogant look, so naturally she could not be too polite to her.

Naturally, the Xu family noticed this, and their expressions became even colder. As soon as the third wife started to speak, she said almost impatiently: "Third wife, today we come to the door with a shy face. Of course we know that it is against the rules.

But now we have no choice. Third wife, where is our eldest mistress?

Li'er, we all know that she has no motherly upbringing and is one of the three things she should not marry. But because she grew up under the knees of an old lady in your mansion, we don't pay attention to these things and treat her in a glamorous way.

Even though you are married, you can say that you have never felt sorry for her. Do you think so?"

Mrs. Su San's face suddenly darkened.

It is true that she is not close to the big house, and it is true that she is alienated from both Su Xingyi and Su Rong because the old lady is partial, but the master is the master, and a family is a family.

Now a servant of the Xu family came up to her and lectured others in such a manner, which Mrs. Su San couldn't stand.

Her expression suddenly changed, but she suppressed it forcefully. After a moment, she suddenly stopped being angry and smiled instead, and asked the Xu family: "I wonder, mom, what's your surname?"

The Xu family was startled. They didn't expect that Mrs. Su San would be so out of touch when she suddenly asked about this when they were talking about business. She frowned and was a little unhappy, but she still tried her best to restrain herself and said calmly: "Mrs. Three, you are so flattering.

How can I be called expensive? My surname is Liu and my husband's surname is Xu. Everyone calls me from the Xu family."

This is not the first time she has come to Su's house. Mrs. Su San is probably too old and confused to even know this.

Mrs. Su San said oh and smiled meaningfully: "It turns out that your husband's surname is Xu, and your own surname is Liu. You keep saying that our family is our family. I actually thought when did the Wen family have someone as famous as you again?"

Sorry for updating so late again. There are a lot of things going on in the past few days during the New Year, so I might usually update in the evening. I would like to bow to everyone~~~

Happy New Year everyone.
