Chapter 114

As soon as the voice fell, Fourth Master turned his head and raised his feet to the bedside: "Get up and eat, and then go to your mother's mansion to pay New Year's greetings."

Ruoyin was slightly taken aback. She was stunned by fourth master's wealth yesterday, and almost forgot that there was still this stubble.

So, half an hour later.

After eating, Ruoyin ordered the servant: "Qiaofeng, my ama likes to practice calligraphy the most, and it's rare to be free now, let alone, go to the warehouse and get that sapphire embossed wolf hair brush ready. Some tonics and snacks, and by the way, I brought some of the danko that I just made a few days ago to my mother-in-law and sister-in-law, they said it looked good last time, but it's a pity that they don't have any."

In the past, these things were handled by the servants under the fourth master.

Now, it's her turn to take care of things.

Fourth master was sitting on the armchair in the room, playing with the jade wrench with his slender fingers.

He watched Ruoyin order the servants in an orderly manner.

I think Ruoyin can handle this quite well.

Know how to use expensive gifts to town.

It would be the most appropriate to add some small gadgets to enhance the family relationship.

After a while, everything was ready, Ruoyin and fourth master got into the carriage back to their natal family.

After Fei Yanggu returned to Beijing, he moved to another address.

The admiral's mansion is located in the capital, not far from the fourth master's mansion.

But the time for a stick of incense has come.

Because every year, Ruoyin returns to her natal home to pay New Year's greetings on the second day of the new year.

That's why the carriage stopped, and a servant stepped forward to greet him at the door.

There were also servants who ran towards the mansion and happily reported: "The fourth master and young lady are here, hurry up and inform the master and madam!"

After Ruoyin got off the carriage, the servant welcomed her to the front hall.

As soon as I sat down, before I had a cup of tea, I saw Fei Yanggu and Jue Luoshi rushing over.

And those who followed behind them were all family members in this mansion.

It doesn't matter whether they are relatives or concubines, they all come.

For them, fourth master and Ruoyin are the nobles in the family.

And after they entered the house, they all saluted Ruoyin and fourth master.

It was rare for the fourth master to say: "You don't need to be polite to your in-laws, let's all get up."

Ruoyin stepped forward to support Jue Luoshi, "Emiang, get up quickly."

Then, Fei Yanggu chatted with fourth master.

Xinghui and Wuge occasionally said a few words.

The rest of the people, although they couldn't get in the conversation, they all sat upright, reflecting good family education.

And in their eyes, there was full respect for fourth master.

After burning incense, Jueluo stood up and said, "Yin'er, we girls, let's go to the main courtyard and talk about ourselves. In this front hall, let the men chat freely."

"Okay." After Ruoyin responded, she gave fourth master a look, and then dragged Jue Luoshi and sister-in-law Ma Jiashi to the main courtyard.

"Qiaofeng, bring me the Danke that I brought today." Ruoyin said while holding Pozi Tang.

After Qiaofeng responded, he put all the prepared pills on the table.

Ma Jiashi looked at the glass jars on the table, which contained colorful dandelions.

Suddenly, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, "Little sister, how did you get so many colors, I've seen red before."

"That's how it was made. Anyway, it's made of flowers+juices of various colors." Ruoyin said as he opened a small jar of water-blue ones, "This one is made of blue cineraria, blended with lilies." colors together."

At this moment, Jue Luo, who was always calm, couldn't sit still.

Curious on his face, "It's the first time I've heard it, this is quite new."

Immediately afterwards, the three women were in harmony.

Talk about topics that belong to women's favorite.

"It's the first time I've painted on my nails, it's so pretty."

"What's that shiny, golden silver powder in here."

"Gold powder and silver powder."

"You're still a little girl, you know how to play, gold and silver are used to paint nails, but let alone, it's shiny, so pretty."

so and so...

When it was lunch time, those concubines did not eat together.

It's just that Ruoyin's direct relatives gathered on a large huanghuali inlaid marble table.

The men clinked their glasses proudly.

The women, on the other hand, talked and laughed in a polite manner.

Since it is rare to see each other, there is no rule of keeping silent.

Manchu's temperament is hospitable, and his mouth can't be idle.

Ruoyin glanced at fourth master occasionally, but she only glanced three times in total, and met fourth master twice.

But soon, the two looked away in unison.

Ruoyin found that although fourth master had a cold temper, he was quite forthright when he drank, not sloppy at all.

Of course, this scores people.

Fourth Master usually only takes a sip to express his meaning to others.

Therefore, Ruoyin could tell that fourth master was very polite to her family.

After lunch, the servants cleared up the food on the table.

Put melon and fruit snacks and tea again.

Now they are all family members of the first line, so there is no distinction between men and women.

The whole family chatted together.

It wasn't until the afternoon that Ruoyin and fourth master were ready to go back home.

Jue Luoshi sent Ruoyin to the door, pulled her aside worriedly, and told her, "Yin'er, after the Lantern Festival, there must be new people coming in at your house. You can't be as depressed as before. , It’s not good for yourself or for your children.”

"Er Niang is right. There are no men here who have three wives and four concubines, especially the relatives of the emperor. In order to strengthen their power, women in the backyard are indispensable. My little sister must relax." Ma Jia followed Jue Luo Follow up.

The two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have a good relationship, but Ruoyin's cheerful personality may become depressed because of the draft.

"Got it, I'll go back first." Ruoyin listened to what they said, just like Tang Monk chanting scriptures.

He hurriedly turned around and got on the carriage.

------

The New Year flavor here is very strong, almost every day is full of strong New Year flavor and celebration.

Until the day of the Lantern Festival, the atmosphere of the New Year did not dissipate, but it became lively again.

Ruoyin ordered the servants early in the morning: "Qiaofeng, ask the dining room to make some colorful glutinous rice balls, with more fillings, one with rose filling, and another with pineapple and strawberry filling."

"Okay, does Fujin have any other orders?" Qiaofeng said.

"That's it, you'll get tired of eating too much glutinous rice balls." Ruoyin flipped through the book and said, "If fourth master comes at night and happens to eat together, if he doesn't come, you have someone prepare them and send them to the front yard.

Hearing this, after Qiaofeng answered, he went to the dining room to order food in a hurry.

Ruoyin has made arrangements here.

But Fourth Master was still in the palace, chatting awkwardly with Concubine De.

"Originally, I should have told Ulanara about this kind of thing, but she has a big belly, and I can't let her enter the palace. I already have the brochure for this year's draft, so I want to ask you , do you have something you like in your heart?" Concubine De was very understanding.

It's a pity that fourth master usually doesn't care about these children's love at all.

He said flatly: "My son doesn't like anyone, everything will be arranged by Er Niang."

"Since this is the case, then I can rest assured. I just happen to see a few suitable ones, and then I can just ask the queen mother for someone."

"How many?" Fourth Master frowned imperceptibly.
