Chapter 1149: The Third Gift
Approaching the end of the year, there seem to be more trivial things. First of all, the rewards of the people in the house, in previous years, Fang Yue was in charge, and everyone was able to receive a red envelope, which contained three or five taels of silver naked. It's just that this year, in the end, it is the new establishment of the Shen Mansion, and if everything is done according to the rules of the past, it will inevitably seem too boring, so Fang Yue called Shen Nanzhi to think with her.
Shen Nanzhi racked his brains and finally came up with a way - on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, red envelopes were uniformly distributed, and young men and women in the house could participate, but this time the red envelopes were not one for each person, but directly from the sky for people to grab, of course, in order to ensure fairness, men and women grouped, the amount in the red envelope is different.
As soon as this plan was proposed, Shi Shi felt pleasantly surprised, and praised Shen Nanzhi for being very clever, saying that her thinking was very advanced.
Fang Yue also felt that it was very good, so he followed Shen Nanzhi's proposal to do it.
The day of the Chinese New Year's Eve was naturally very lively, and the way of grabbing red envelopes aroused the interest of many people, and the two little girls of Zhuyun and Curly Bi played especially fun, grabbed a lot of reward money, and took it back to show off with Shen Nanzhi for a long time.
An Yuan has its own reward, Shen Nanzhi has a big red envelope for everyone, compared to the small red envelope outside, it can be said that it is really generous, several little girls are happy to get the red envelope, and they are still smiling at the dinner table of the Chinese New Year's Eve.
Shen Sifeng, who was harmful, found out that something was wrong, Lilac had to confess, and he angrily led a group of juniors to Shen Nanzhi to ask for red envelopes.
"Go, go, although your sister-in-law is a sister-in-law, how much older than you!?" Fang Yue was angry and laughed.
"My sister-in-law is my sister-in-law, and the elders have to give the younger ones New Year's money!" Shen Sifeng smiled and played with Laipi, and arched his hand at Shen Nanzhi with a serious attitude, "Sister-in-law, Happy New Year!" Wishing you prosperity, red envelopes are brought! β
said that Shen Sifeng couldn't say this, so Shen Nanzhi had no choice but to pretend to be disgusted and obediently handed over the red envelope.
Since she wants to give, the six children of the eldest brother will naturally have to give it, and even with the little six who is not yet one year old, she gave one proudly, twenty taels per person, and she spent a lot of money in one night.
Rong Xiaoniang hugged Xiao Liu and held his two chubby little hands to Shen Nanzhi. Xiao Liu was raised for white and fat, and when he saw people, he knew that he was smirking, which made Shen Nanzhi's heart melt.
The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was lively, and some people couldn't wait to come to the door on the second day of the new year.
Unexpectedly, the first one to come to the door turned out to be Shen Jiading. He is a prince and doesn't have much time to spend outside, so he only brings half a cart of good things sent by Ciqing, from ornaments to jewelry, and most of them are named and given to Shen Nanzhi.
Shen Jiading sent something and left in a hurry, and Shen Nanzhi didn't even have room to refuse.
Looking at the room full of good things, Shen Nanzhi felt a little unbearable.
"Thisβthat's too much!" Fang Yue hurried over when he got the news, and saw that the house was almost nowhere to stay, "This is all sent by Little Prince An?" β
Shen Nanzhi nodded bitterly, "What should I do, sister-in-law, Lord An is generous, but our Shen family has never been so dealings with people...... Either I'll send someone to send it back. β
"It's definitely going to be delivered, but ...... Let's see what they have sent first! Fang Yue's face was full of evil smiles, although she didn't see good things and couldn't walk, but at least she still maintained her curiosity, there were so many exquisite black lacquer luodian boxes in front of her, where was there any reason not to take a look? It was she who asked someone to take the accounts, "Register them one by one, and find an opportunity to pay them back in the future, otherwise people will send them with the front foot, and you will return with the back foot, and it is always bad for people to know." β
Shen Nanzhi nodded, "It's still sister-in-law, you think thoughtfully!" β
With the help of a few little girls, the two began to register the things sent by Shen Jiading.
First of all, fifteen horses of Shu brocade and satin, all of which were found with good incense, and as soon as I opened the box, I smelled a fresh and elegant smell. There are three pairs of jewelry, one pair of emerald, one pair of gemstones, and one pair of pure gold, and there is also a celadon vase of the official kiln, and a heavenly fox bone jade Guanyin ornament with ice and jade.
The point is on this ornament.
The sky fox bone is spontaneously fragrant, extremely cool in summer, and has a faint warmth in winter. Shen Nanzhi stretched out his hand to touch it gently, and sure enough, the Guanyin statue that had been placed in the box had a faint temperature, and the smell was even more fragrant and refreshing. Fang Yue said that this thing is priceless, not in its exquisite workmanship, but in its raw materials that are rare to meet in a hundred years.
Shen Nanzhi was stunned when he heard this: "This, so precious!?" β
Fang Yue nodded and said with a smile, "In the end, it is Little Prince An, it is really extraordinary!" Such a rare thing was actually sent to you? β
Shen Nanzhi was stunned for a moment, and stood up with a "Teng" voice, "No, no, you can't accept such a thing!" An Xiaowang gave me such a valuable thing, thisγIsn't this clearly trying to harm me!? β
"I can't tell...... Did he have a crush on you? Fang Yue sat on the side, holding a pen and ink, and deliberately smiled.
Shen Nanzhi's face turned red: "Sister-in-law, you, don't talk nonsense!" If he really likes me, I won't be able to accept it......"
Now it was Fang Yue's turn to be puzzled, "Hey, in the end, he is still the prince, he is a little romantic, but his heart is not bad, you still don't look down on him?" β
Shen Nanzhi really doesn't like it, it's not that he dislikes Shen Jiading, it's just that he doesn't feel like a man or woman when he gets along, but he looks like a friend. But the most important reason is not this, she frowned and took Fang Yue's hand: "Sister-in-law doesn't know, Concubine An, the mother of the little prince...... Seems to have a prejudice against me! We didn't see each other much, but every time she would look very displeased with me. I heard Lord Lu say that Concubine An is very angry, and the wife of Prince An is at worst the daughter of the duke's concubine, or the daughter of a member of the first rank of the court...... On weekdays, it is already unpleasant for the little prince to associate with me, if the little prince has other thoughts...... No, no, even if she doesn't have other thoughts, if she knows that Little Prince An gave me such a valuable thing, she won't eat me alive! β
Fang Yue frowned at this time, she naturally heard about Concubine An's personality, but there was no news about this matter, she was only afraid that Shen Nanzhi would scare herself, so she reached out and patted her, "Okay, okay, just find a chance to send these things back, it's strange that Mother always wants you to keep a distance from Little Prince An, isn't it because of this Concubine An?" β
Shen Nanzhi shook her head, she only felt very distressed. Looking at the good things in one place is like looking at one trap after another......
