Houmen Fenghua: Meet the best evil mother-in-law

Chapter 278 New Year's greetings and ancestor worship

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, every house in the Yao family got up early, and came to Gu Qingling's place early to pay New Year's greetings.

As children, Mr. and Mrs. Yao, Mr. and Mrs. Yao, Mr. and Mrs. Yao, and Mrs. Yao also prepared an annual gift according to the conditions of each house.

Probably this year, she was blessed by Gu Qingling and earned a lot of money. The Second Mrs. Yao was very generous, and she directly gave away a jade Ruyi worth a thousand taels.

Gu Qingling raised her eyebrows, glanced at Mrs. Yao Er, praised her a few words, and accepted it with a smile.

In comparison, Sanfang is not so showy.

Mrs. Yao was just picked up by Mrs. Yao and Mrs. Yao, and Mrs. Yao was helping Mrs. Yao and Mrs. Yao to run errands. They were not as generous as the big house and the second room, but they also tried to pick up some value. I bought relatively expensive jade ornaments, hoping to make Gu Qingling happy.

Naturally, Gu Qingling didn't say anything, and accepted them all.

When it came to Mr. Yao Liu, Ms. Yao Qi, and Ms. Yao Ba, it was much easier to present gifts. The boys gave the characters they copied, and the girls gave the female reds they embroidered, such as forehead wipes or insoles.Juniors like Yao Anxin, Yao Anhong, Yao Anyi, and Yao Anling also gave away small things made by themselves.

In addition to the younger generation giving gifts to the elders, as an elder, Gu Qingling also prepared gifts for the grandchildren, which were not pens, ink, paper and inkstones, or hair flowers worn by girls, etc., together with a red envelope, it was considered as a complete gift.

When the agreed day of ancestor worship came, Gu Qingling took the whole family to the ancestral house in Jinling.

The patriarch is responsible for all arrangements. Although the Yao family in the capital is the main event, there are not many things to worry about. You just need to follow the patriarch's arrangement and go through the process of leaving.

However, there was one thing that still made Gu Qingling a little upset, that is, for such a big matter as worshiping the ancestors, the daughter-in-law who married into the door was not allowed to go, and even the girl born in the Yao family was not allowed to go.

She rolled her eyes, her expression was a little disgusted, it really was an era of patriarchy, which was too obvious.

Hand over Yao Anhong and Yao Anyi to their father, and let them take them to worship their ancestors, while Gu Qingling brought Mrs. Yao, Mrs. Yao, Mrs. Yao, Miss Yao Qi, Miss Yao Ba, Yao Anxin, Yao Anling and others The female relatives went to the guest room to rest.

Naturally, the patriarch's wife and his daughter-in-law Yao Guo were in charge of entertaining them. In addition, there were several senior clan elders.

Because they were newly elected, these old ladies of the clan looked relatively young, not as stylish or as rich as the previous ones.

When they saw Gu Qingling and the others, they all had smiles on their faces, and their words were full of flattery.

After all, the reason why the patriarch's family and Yao Wensheng's family can live a good life is not because they borrowed the style of the Yao family in the capital?Although the Yao family in the capital city is a bit ruthless, they are not ruthless people. As long as you are honest and obedient, they will be happy to take you to drink soup when they eat meat.

Before, Yao Wensheng's family was so poor that they had to borrow money to get by, but Wen Sheng's mother hugged her thigh quickly, and within a few friends, Yao Wensheng's family was promoted from abject poverty to a small rich family.

Now he has some face in front of the Jinling people.

In this way, how many other families who haven't drunk the soup, or have less soup, are not envious?

"Old Madam, you really look younger and younger. If you don't know, you may think that you are only thirty this year!"

"Isn't it? I've met so many people, but I've never seen someone as young and blessed as the old lady. Look at her complexion, she's even better than my daughter-in-law."

"Look at this girl, she is called Sister Xin, right? As expected, she was raised by the old matriarch. Look at her demeanor and etiquette, which are really commendable. She is many times better than that wild girl in my family."

……

These people's mouths were as if they had been smeared with honey, they praised everyone they saw, and they praised all the female relatives brought by Gu Qingling.

Gu Qingling knew what they wanted to do in such a hurry, exchanged a few pleasantries with them, and then sent people to Mrs. Yao and Mrs. Yao, and went to them for business matters.

After a while, those who wanted to cooperate with the Yao family in the capital and inquire about the news, were invited by the patriarch's wife to the next room along with Mrs. Yao and Mrs. Yao, leaving only a group of "talking with" people.

That's it, Gu Qingling was not cold in front of him, most of them were pulling their young girls out, not introducing them to Gu Qingling, but wanting them to become familiar faces in front of Gu Qingling.

If you're lucky, you might even get a handkerchief with Yao Anxin or something.

On this day, Gu Qingling brought a group of female relatives with all her energy. Miss Yao Qi, Miss Yao Ba, Yao Anxin, and Yao Anling all became like a delicate flower that has been crippled. In defeat.

"My God! They're horrible!"

After returning, Yao Anling patted her chest and said to Gu Qingling with a face of fear, "Old Madam, you don't know that after my cousin sister and I were dragged into the yard, a large group of people surrounded us and almost killed us." eat."

"Is it that scary?" Gu Qingling said with a smile, "Don't you usually like to be lively? Are you unhappy that you can make so many sisters and sisters this time?"

"Happy! But no matter how happy you are, it will be scary if there are too many people..." Yao Anling said sadly, "Besides, they don't really want to make friends with us. They are just digging a hole for you, if they want to trick you, my brains will almost be messed up by them."

Gu Qingling laughed: "Where is this going? They all begged your mother at home, waiting for your mother to leak some from her fingers, so that she would be full. Just a word of temptation, I won’t embarrass you, a little girl. After a few years, your mother will start to take you to various flower parties. You will meet more people, various families, and various intricate relationships. Then you will know what It's called 'digging a hole'."

"Old Madam, I feel that you are watching your granddaughter's joke."

"Have it?"

"Have!"

"How could it be?" Gu Qingling said with a smile, "You are my own granddaughter. I would not look at anyone's jokes, but I would not look at yours. It's just that every girl will be like this. Wait for the activities you will participate in in the future." If there are too many, you will get used to it. Unfortunately, you can ask your cousin."

Gu Qingling pushed the person to Yao Anxin.

Yao Anxin was a little confused, her hands froze while holding the handkerchief: Ah, ask me?

I……

I haven't attended a few flower fairs either.

……

Originally, she was old enough to be active in various gatherings of female relatives, but who would have thought that before Mrs. Yao took her out, the Yao family would move to Yunyang City.

Then Yunyang City didn't stay long, and they arrived at Jinling.

Then, she was sent to Yao's Academy by the old lady, Gu Qingling, to study every day.Not to mention the flower fair, she hasn't even handed in a handkerchief until now.

"I... I haven't participated a few times either." Yao Anxin lacked confidence.

"It's okay, starting this year, you will have more activities." Gu Qingling said, "Maybe at that time, you can still hand in a few handkerchiefs. By the way, there are not one or two of the little sisters I met today. Anyone with eyes?"

"Yes, there are, but I'm not very familiar with them."

"I haven't met a few times, and I dare not say a few words. It's normal to be unfamiliar. When you go back later, prepare some snacks, tea, or small things from your daughter's house, and then write a letter. You come to me a few times, and you get to know each other slowly. Although you usually have classes and you don’t have time to entertain them, but you have two days off every five days, you can definitely invite them to your house on the rest day, or ask them to go to Baixiang Pavilion Wash your face, do a beauty treatment or something."
