Chapter 55 New Year's Eve
Lin Cunyi brought a gift from Lin Cunde and visited the Wang Mansion for the first time. As soon as the people in the Wang Mansion heard that they were from Lin Cunde's manor, they quickly let them in. Wang Ying had already told him that as long as he was from the Lin Mansion, he would come in first. Report again.

Wang Ying happened to be in the mansion. When she saw it was Lin Cunyi, she also smiled and said, "But what's the matter?"

"I've seen Master Wang. Well, my fifth brother has something to give to Miss Wang. He specifically asked me to deliver it!" Lin Cunyi saluted quickly.

"Ah, this kid is really interested! Come here, call the second lady and ask her to wait in the back room while the maid comes to get the gift! Just say that Cunde sent someone to deliver the gift!" Wang Ying was very excited. Happy, he quickly ordered to a maid next to him.

"Yes!" The maid also left happily. They all knew that the master and his wife were very satisfied with their future second son-in-law.

Wang Meichun learned in the boudoir that Lin Cunde had sent a gift, and she happily brought her maid to the front yard. However, she did not go to the front hall to see Lin Cunyi, which was not etiquette. She just hid in the back room and let the maid come to pick up the gift. At the same time, he sent a message to Lin Cunyi to say thank you to Lin Cuunde for his gift. '

After Wang Meichun received the gift, she held the wooden box in her arms and returned to her boudoir. Even her personal maids were not allowed in. The personal maids were making fun of her outside. Wang Meichun was not annoyed. She opened the wooden box and found a letter lying inside. letter.

Wang Meichun opened the letter first and carefully read the letter written by Lin Cunde to herself. Lin Cunde also mentioned what he had done during this period, including the fact that he had moved his mansion and liked the new mansion very much, and also bought maids and servants. , and at the same time, there was also a trace of longing. Wang Meilin looked at it very seriously, with a smile on his face.

After reading the letter, Wang Meichun began to look at the gifts sent by Lin Cunde, and found that there were quite a lot of them, all of which she liked: "It must have been said by this damn girl Qiu Shuang. This damn girl made Cunde spend so much money!"

Although Wang Meichun was cursing, she was very happy in her heart.

Then he took the letter and read it again. After reading it, he polished his ink and began to reply to Lin Cunde. After replying to the letter, he asked Wang Zhi to be found.

Wang Zhi was very happy during this period. He had a lot of money distributed this time. He also listened to Lin Cunde's words and was generous to the brothers in Jinyiwei, treating them to meals, etc. At the same time, he also kept an eye on those people who were available. Those people were the wall. Grass.

"Second sister!" Wang Zhi arrived at Wang Meichun's small courtyard living room and saw Wang Meichun sitting there, so he came over with a smile.

"You brat, come here, my sister will give you a task!" Wang Meichun greeted Wang Zhidao with a blushing face.

"Hehe, sister, what gift did the brother-in-law send? This gift must be very expensive! Ouch!" Wang Zhi came over and said teasingly, and his ears were immediately pinched by Wang Meichun.

"You dare to make fun of sister, I think you are itchy!" Wang Meichun stared at Wang Zhi with a fake expression.

Wang Zhi quickly begged for mercy: "Sister, sister, let go, I was wrong, I was wrong!"

"Hmph!" Wang Meichun let go of her hand, handed Wang Zhi a letter, and said, "Send it over quickly! Otherwise, I will tell Cunde not to give you soap or soap!"

"Don't dare, sister, let's see my brother ride a thousand-mile horse!" Wang Zhi joked. Wang Meichun pretended to fight, but Wang Zhi quickly took the good news and ran away.

The next day, it was New Year's Eve. Early in the morning, Lin Cunde took Lin Cunyi, Grandpa Yang, and four servants to the suburbs of Beijing to pay homage to the graves of his parents and brothers. Lin Cunyi was also kneeling, crying and shouting. Second uncle, second aunt, and third brother.

Lin Cunde just burned the paper silently. After they laid out the sacrifices, Lin Cunde asked them to wait for him in the distance and he wanted to sit here for a while.

Lin Cunyi supported Grandpa Yang and took the servants to wait for Lin Cunde thirty feet away. He turned around and saw Lin Cunde kneeling in front of the grave, burning paper there and saying something.

About two-quarters of an hour later, Lin Cunyi felt that the time was a bit long and the ground was cold. It was not appropriate for Lin Cunde to keep kneeling, so he walked over and called Lin Cunde. Lin Cunde kowtowed to them three times before he stood up. He was a little unsteady. Lin Cunyi hurried over to help him. Lin Cunde: "Fifth brother, you have to be strong. Your uncle and aunt are protecting you in heaven, and you must pay attention to your body!"'

"I know!" Lin Cunde nodded. Although he had traveled through time, his previous memories were still there. Every night, late at night, he thought of his parents and brothers, keeping him awake all night, and even crying uncontrollably.

"Go back and come over to see more when you have time!" Lin Cunyi said, supporting Lin Cuunde.

"Yeah!" Lin Cunde nodded, and then said nothing.

After returning to the mansion, he began to perform sacrifices at home, offering sacrifices to the heaven and earth, and to the ancestors. These all needed to be done by Lin Cunde himself, with Lin Cunyi and Grandpa Yang assisting him. Lin Cunde had never performed sacrifices alone before and had no experience.

After the sacrifice, Lin Cunde summoned the servants in the house, including Dajia and the others. Lin Cunde asked Lin Cunyi to bring a plate with many small cloth bags on it.

Lin Cunde was sitting in the living room, looking at the sixty or so servants below, and said with a smile: "This year is thirty, and the house has not distributed bounties before. Now, I will distribute them to everyone. Grandpa Yang, this is yours." Yes, if there is anything unnecessary, we won’t talk anymore, come on!” Lin Cunde said, holding the largest bag with 20 taels of silver in it, Lin Cunde walked to Grandpa Yang personally and handed it to Grandpa Yang.

"Master, it's not necessary!" Grandpa Yang said postponed.Lin Cunde still stuffed it into his arms and said: "Grandpa Yang, take it, the harvest at home is good this year, and I also rely on Grandpa Yang to take care of me. You old man, you will direct them to work in the future, and you will do less." When you walk around in front of me, I feel at ease!”

"Hey, okay, okay!" Grandpa Yang also said happily.

"Dajia!" Lin Cunde said and called out to Dajia, who had just come from the old house.

"Master!" Dajia came over immediately and held his hands to Lin Cunde.

"This is yours. You have worked hard this year. From now on, you will assist my second brother in managing the external affairs of the family. Don't worry. As long as you are willing, I will let you stay with me forever!" Lin Cunde smiled and handed over a cloth bag. He gave it to Dajia, which contained five taels of silver.

"Thank you, Master. Don't worry, Master, I'm not going anywhere!" Dajia also said happily.

Then Lin Cunde gave bonuses to the two aunts, three taels of silver each, to thank them for their hard work in the family. Dajia and the two aunts, they had not been in the house for half a month, and they had been working in the house before. Lin Cunde also knew that his mother used to give them two taels of silver, and this year he gave them one more tael.

Then he distributed them to the servants who had just bought them back. Lin Cunde took the cloth bags and distributed them one by one. At the same time, he said: "Work hard and learn skills from Qiu Shuang and Da Jia. Here, I dare not say anything else." , let you have enough food and clothing. If the harvest at home is good, the young master will not begrudge you your share. Take it all. It is not much money, one hundred pence. Buy whatever you need in the future. In addition, I am also here. Announce that every month, you will have an allowance of two hundred cents, and all other food and clothing expenses will come from the house!"

"Thank you, Master!" The servants immediately knelt down and said, feeling very grateful in their hearts.

"But one thing I want to make clear is that you are not allowed to cheat these children's money. If you cheat, it is a trivial matter to get beaten. I will sell you again. I will not raise anyone who bullies good and fears evil in my house. !" Lin Cunde continued to warn them.

"Don't dare!" the older servants shouted quickly.

"Okay, let's break up. Dajia, it's time to go home. Remember to go to the old house in the evening!" Lin Cunde waved to them and said.

"Don't worry, young master. I'll go back to have a meal and then go to the old house!" Dajia quickly said with his hands.

Lin Cunde nodded slightly, and then the children also bowed to Lin Cunde. Lin Cunde nodded, and everyone began to leave the living room one after another.

At this moment, Lin Cunde took out a red cloth bag from his arms and took it from his second sister-in-law, Ye Shi, Jiacheng: "Jiacheng, uncle will give you lucky money to grow up quickly!"

"Cunde, you don't need it!" Lin Cunyi said quickly, and Ye next to him also said no.

"It's for the kids. In the evening, the six of us will have dinner together!" Lin Cunde said with a smile and hugged Jiacheng. Jiacheng also knew Lin Cunde now, so Lin Cunde didn't cry while holding him.

In the evening, a table of dishes was ready. Lin Cunde invited Grandpa Yang, Qiu Shuang, Lin Cunyi and his wife, and Jiacheng to sit in the dining room to eat together.
After dinner, after the conversation, Lin Cunde went to the study. Lin Cunde still had to stay up late tonight.

Lin Cunde was sitting in the study reading. Just after midnight, there was a knock on the door. Lin Cunde shouted and came in, and found that it was Lin Cunyi.

"Second brother, why are you up now?" Lin Cunde asked quickly.

"After waking up and eating, I went to bed. You go to the soft couch and lean on it for a while. Someone will come over tomorrow to pay New Year's greetings. You need to sleep well. I'm here to watch over you!" Lin Cunyi sat down and said with a smile.

"Okay, I have to go out tomorrow, and you can entertain me at home!" Lin Cunde nodded upon hearing this. Lin Cunde needed to go to the homes of his father's old friends to pay New Year greetings, and he also needed to go to the homes of two clan uncles and Wang Ying.

Early the next morning, Lin Cunde woke up and first burned incense for his parents and brothers, then offered sacrifices. After breakfast, Lin Cunde took four servants and went out.

The first house was Wang Ying's mansion. Lin Cunde did not step into their mansion, but knocked on the door and stood outside. When the concierge of Wang Ying's family heard that it was Lin Cunde, he immediately went to notify Wang Ying and his wife.

As soon as Wang Ying and his wife stepped out of the door, Lin Cunde lifted up his hem, knelt down and kowtowed: "My nephew, I'm here to kowtow to my uncle and aunt to say New Year greetings. I wish you both good health!"

"Okay, okay, get up quickly, the ground is cold!" Qin and Wang Ying came down quickly and pulled Lin Cunde up.
