He first went to the kitchen to mix some flour paste, then carefully stuck the red paper onto the basket and covered it with the red paper.

It was his first time doing this, but now that he thought about it, it was rude to Yang Zixuan"s annual festival gift.

"Chinese toon, the things are ready. I will have to trouble you to bring them back later."

Qin Chunshu waved his hand, "shopkeeper only wants me to tell me to tell him that next year"s vegetables cannot be lacking, he is still waiting for him to make another fortune!"

No matter how well the vegetables were sold, it was only during the Spring Festival. It was only a matter of a few dozen silver taels, mainly because they had not received any meat dishes for the whole winter.

"Sure, no problem. It"s just that …" My family has to make a house when they"re fifteen. " It would take days.

Qin Chunshu looked at her in amus.e.m.e.nt: "Rou Sang definitely doesn"t know, the shops in the town are only open for business after being out for 15 years, and there are not many who have come out for social meetups after the new year, only after twenty days will the business in the town improve."

So that"s how it was! Mu Rousang smiled and promised. With the money, she wouldn"t mind selling more.

The winter pa.s.sed quickly, and after Mu Rousang finished embroidering a lot of money and made a set of school uniform s, Mu Jinzhi was on break.

Mu Rousang and her two rich friends, Manager Wu and Yang Zixuan had already finished their gifts. After the twenty-third day of the month as a stove master, and the 24th day of the month as a new year"s holiday, Mu Jinzhi would be going on holiday.

This year, many cabbages were sold in the village, and every family had some money in their hands. The atmosphere in the village was even more lively than before.

Those who went to County to work part-time also started to return. Mu Rousang prepared to deliver the annual festival gift to the Liu Xiucai today.

She did not guess wrong. This fellow was an old-fashioned guy, and all the students were forbidden from giving annual festival gift to him.

Mu Rousang"s family had already prepared a lot of new year goods, and they were currently rummaging through the boxes: "Brother, what kind of people does Mister have?"

Mu Jinzhi had already prepared baskets to deliver the New Year goods, he was holding several pieces of dried rabbit meat and placing them in each basket.

Hearing her question, he did not even raise his head as he continued with the work he was doing. He only replied, "In addition to the mistress, sir has two other daughters."

Two daughters? Mu Rousang picked out a dark gray, purple, and two red muslin.

Then, he heard Mu Jinzhi say, "Little sister, Mister likes to drink some wine." This was something that he had inadvertently discovered, and he thought to himself that gifting this jug to Mr. Wine would make him very happy.

"Got it, thanks to the two jars of Green Bamboo Leaf Wine I bought in the county town last time for New Year"s." Mu Rousang found a clean piece of blue cloth and wrapped these muslin carefully.

She looked at the ingredients sent over by the Manager Wu. They were all wrapped in the same material.

"Brother, see if this is enough for me. For each muslin in your house, Mister will add another rosin ink, a jug of wine, and Mistress will add another silver hairpin, along with ten catties of white flour, ten catties of white rice, ten catties of eggs, one fish, one knife, two rabbits, and one pot of pickled vegetables."

was not stingy with his words, she only hoped that Mr Liu would teach Mu Jinzhi well.

Mu Rou could not understand why they had to give her the white rice and cured fish meat for the new year. If not for Yang Zixuan and Manager Wu giving it to her, she would not have discovered this matter.

"Alright, that"s about it. Which families are left to send out this year?" Mu Jinzhi looked at the four baskets in the living room.

"Manager Wu and Yang Zixuan"s return gift have been sent, and only Village Head Grandpa, Qin Er, Aunt Zhu, and Mister remain, and Uncle …"

She was a bit annoyed. Gifts from ancient times were really too particular. She had to find out who the members of the family were, find out what they liked, and not give away things they didn"t like. It was really annoying.

Mu Jinzhi muttered to himself for a moment before suggesting, "Little sister, give me one more serving as the teacher for this new son of yours.

Although the county magistrate wasn"t as good as the one currently in charge, a family official at the first rank could crush a person to death.

"It just so happens that the last time Yang Zixuan brought a piece of cured beef with a knife in it, cut it in half and added it to the list."

The gifts that Mu Rousang had prepared for the families were considered thick in the village, and were much better than those of ordinary farmers. Of course, they were not as good as the big families of County.

"Yes, little sister, it"s up to you."

In each of the four new baskets was a rabbit, ten catties of white flour, ten catties of white rice, ten catties of eggs, and a piece of cured meat. The rest was added and reduced according to each family"s circ.u.mstances.

Mu Jinzhi sometimes felt that he was dreaming. He had only gone to the neighboring village to ask for half a kilogram of Chen Mi from the landowner"s family during the new year. It was only because the steward had pitied him did he give it to him.

Mu Rousang"s family really had too many muslin, she planned to give each family a muslin.

The two of them carried the gift they gave to the Liu Xiucai onto the donkey cart and covered it with something else.

"Little sister, get in the car first. Big brother will lock up the yard."

This time, Mu Jinzhi planned to bring Mu Rousang with him. He thought that Mu Rousang would be able to get along with Mister"s two daughters and weave a handkerchief with them or something like that.

Mister had said before that people group together according to their species. Even without his mother"s guidance, he hoped that Mu Rousang would not be weaker than others in the future.

When he came to the Liu Xiucai and saw the family, Mistress Liu kept her etiquette, but when she saw the annual festival gift that Mu Jinzhi had sent over, her tone became more sincere.

When the Liu Xiucai saw the jar, Bamboo Leaf Qing"s eyes turned green, he anxiously dragged Mu Jinzhi to the study room to give him supplementary lessons.

Martial Aunt Liu liked that silver hairpin very much. She weighed the cost of two taels of silver for a jar of Bamboo Leaf Green, two taels for a rosin ink, four muslin s and some food. It would probably be five taels of silver.

The more he looked, the more he liked Mu Rousang. Mu Jinzhi was only eight years old now, her youngest daughter was only slightly more than nine years old, and she was thinking if she could make a marriage for a child.

"wood girl, I heard from your brother that the family"s elders have pa.s.sed away. If you have anything you don"t understand, feel free to ask me."

After all, Mistress Liu came from a scholarly family, and was more envious than the Red Fruit of the Mulberry. She only wanted to marry her daughter and find a good wife for her daughter, which was not too much.

Mu Rousang did not know what she was planning, "Alright, I"ll have to trouble Mistress more in the future."

He then called for his two daughters: "This is my eldest daughter, Gui Qi, and the other is my youngest daughter, Gui Xiang, and this is Mu Jinzhi"s sister, Mu Rousang."

The two sisters looked very similar. They were beautiful and fair, with skin like jade. They were rarely seen in the countryside, but their elder sister was more dignified and demure, while their younger sister was more lively and cute.

"Greetings, sisters!" Mu Rousang hurriedly stood up to pay her respects. Her waist and waist were in pain, but who told her to be the youngest? On the way there, her brother repeatedly reminded her to be young and orderly.

Lady Liu nodded her head in satisfaction. Although she had lost her upbringing, she still hated herself for not giving birth to a good son, so that she could be tied up in her own house.

"You two siblings treat her well. Mother will go cook for you. You two siblings, stay here to eat."

"This is too much trouble Mistress. We"ve already prepared food at home, we can go back and heat it up." Mu Rousang immediately stood up to politely decline.

Mistress Liu was displeased. "Why? We only allow you students to send us gifts, and we don"t allow Mistress to cook for you. Yesterday, our youngest son was still eating at our house!"

"Mother!" Liu Guizhi looked at her with a flushed face.

Liu Guixiang, who was at the side, smiled and said, "Mom, I am embarra.s.sed. It"s just that yesterday, my future brother-in-law gave big sister a silver hairpin as a gift. "

Li Zheng"s youngest son is engaged to Liu Guizhi? Isn"t this news too impressive?

Liu Guizhi"s face flushed red: "Little Sister Rou Sang, please don"t listen to her nonsense. Girls don"t know shame."

"Heh heh, how could that be? Big sister Gui Xiang is really cute and innocent. I wonder how many people are envious of her." Mu Rousang laughed, the two sisters" personalities were completely different.

Liu Guizhi carefully sized up the little girl in front of him. She was dressed in a crescent dress, with the outer edge of her clothes covered with a light green silk cloth.

Elegant and not lacking in etiquette, she was worthy of her status as a filial piety. No wonder my mother liked her so much.

"What does my sister do at home?" Although Liu Guizhi was a young lady from a rich clan, his family was still a scholar. His parents usually pampered the two sisters.

Mu Rousang answered unhurriedly: "It"s usually nothing complicated, the main thing is to feed the chickens and feed the pigs, then when I have free time, I can read and be a woman."

"I really can"t tell, little sister Rou Sang is so young and yet she can be a girl red. Little sister, you often say that you are young and refuse to learn from a girl red. Look, little sister Rou Sang knows how to be a girl red."

Liu Guixiang could not stand Liu Guizhi lecturing her in front of the guests. She pouted unhappily and sat on the side.

"Sister Gui Zhi, how could I be as fierce as you say? It"s just that my family is doting on me, so I have to do it myself. Otherwise, wouldn"t my brother only be able to use a few pieces of cloth to cover himself?" While teasing her brother and herself, she carefully observed Liu Guixiang"s face. Seeing that her complexion was much better, she felt relieved.

"That"s right, big sister. If it wasn"t for her parents, she wouldn"t have needed to learn to be a woman so early." Liu Gui Xiang heard the meaning behind Mu Rousang"s words and immediately smiled.

Liu Guizhi frowned, she thought that she must tell his mother, so that she could hone his sister"s temper.

"Big sister Gui Xiang, I envy you so much!" "s parents pampered her and his sister doted on her. However, she was also very happy and it was not bad to have a sis-con brother.

"Haha, you all have been happily chatting!" Liu Xiucai came out of the study room laughing.

"Father!"

"Mister!"

"Un, not bad!" Hibiscus, your little sister is clever, and she can get along with my two daughters. " Liu Xiucai said with a look of interest.

Mu Rousang raised her eyebrows and took the chance when no one was looking, secretly glancing at Mu Jinzhi without anyone noticing, but who knew that he would only glance at her happily, without hinting at anything.

"Husband, why are you so happy?" Mistress Liu was in the kitchen, laughing out loud upon hearing Liu Xiucai"s words. She did not know what had happened, but she instructed the wife who was cooking to keep the fire burning, and quickly came in to take a look.

"My wife, come, come. Come, sit down. Your husband intends to take these two siblings as his righteous children." Liu Xiucai hugged Lady Liu and sat on the seat of honor.

"Just now, I studied Hibiscus in my study room. He worked very hard during the past year and was able to remember everything he learned, and then talked about his family"s matters, and your husband was very fond of this student of Hibiscus, thinking that it"s not easy to become a Brother and sister, and that they can rely on each other to be G.o.dmother. Your wife shouldn"t be angry and make decisions for your husband."

When the words came out from Liu Xiucai"s mouth, Mu Rousang"s eyes were filled with the aroma of mosquitoes, but he still understood that the Liu Xiucai intended to take the two siblings as his G.o.dsons and take them as his daughters.

Mistress Liu was actually a bit unhappy, but after thinking about it, she could not give Liu Xiucai any face. Hearing that, her husband took the initiative to ask her again, she followed his gaze and looked over, landing her gaze on her two daughters.

Mu Jinzhi was still young now, so it wouldn"t be bad if he adopted a foster son. In the future, if the two sisters had a foster brother to rely on, he would be able to rest a.s.sured after a hundred years.

"Hubby, since you"ve already made up your mind, then choose a lucky day to pay your respects. I originally liked little girls, but now I think my two daughters must be happy. I"ve gotten a younger brother and a younger sister for nothing."

The more she read, the more she liked the two siblings. One of them had excellent studies, and there was no need to talk about his future, the other was smart and intelligent.
