peasant girl allure

Chapter 592
When Xiao'er returned to the mansion, she found that the sky in the west had turned dark.

The storm is coming.

Xiao'er walked to the courtyard where Mrs. Liu was, and along the way, she saw many maids and mothers-in-law running to pack things.

This morning the sun was just right, and Liu thought that she was about to give birth, so she asked the maid to take out the baby clothes, cradle, cot, quilt and other supplies that had been prepared and cleaned in the sun to dry in the sun. After half a day of sunshine, there are signs of heavy rain.

When Xiao'er walked into the room, she saw Lu Shi and Liu Shi sitting together and chatting, talking about what happened on the street yesterday.

When the two saw Xiao'er coming in, they quickly shut up. After all, it was not a good thing, and it was not suitable for the little girl to hear.

They didn't know that Xiao'er knew about it long ago, and she had a part in planning that matter.

"Why is Fourth Aunt free to come over today?" Xiao'er came in to say hello.

"I got a letter from my hometown, saying that Shen Jingwen is getting married, let me go back with your fourth uncle and invite your family to go back to dinner." Lu Shi took out a letter and handed it to Xiao'er.

Xiao'er took it and took a look. The words should be written by Mr. Shen. From the handwriting, it can be seen that the person who wrote the letter was a little bit powerless.

Mr. Shen is also getting old, and the past few years should have become more and more difficult.

Xiao'er's family didn't pay much attention to it, but they could figure it out.

The content of the letter was very simple, it was just to invite the two of them to go back to dinner, after all, they are blood brothers, just go back to drink wedding wine, the whole village invited them, there was no other meaning.

After reading the letter, Xiao'er asked Lu Shi: "Are fourth uncle and fourth aunt planning to go back?"

They have severed ties with those two people, and their family will definitely not go back. It is reasonable not to go back. Of course, they will definitely be said to be impersonal by bitter people, but many officials in the imperial city also have their hometowns. This is not modern. There is a plane to sit on, even going abroad is very convenient!If every official went back to his hometown to drink wedding wine, he would not have to work in the Yamen all year round!The days go by on the road.

Mrs. Lu hesitated and said: "Your fourth uncle's shop and I cannot do without people, besides, Jing Jie is still studying in the college, and the two young ones are young, so it is difficult for us to spare time to go back. What a delay of more than two months! I can't think of going back! What about you?"

After going back, she didn't know what would happen. What if Shen Zhuang pretended to be sick and asked her to wait on her sickness, and she was dragged away and couldn't come back? She couldn't forget how they left Shengping County in the first place.

Xiao'er nodded, which means she doesn't want to go back, and it's normal not to want to go back.

"We definitely won't go back. My mother is about to give birth, and my father has official duties. My brother and I will leave next year. Now is the critical time for studying. Besides, our two families have severed ties. I'm going back." Xiao'er shook her head without thinking about it.

The annual gift has not been given in the past few years. It is probably because Mr. Shen saw that it has been many years, and he wanted to ease the relationship between them!

Mrs. Liu nodded: "I won't go back. I thought that since the whole village has invited them, they will follow the same courtesy as the villagers. When the time comes, the housekeeper will send a foot of cloth or a basket of eggs to the banquet. !"

If there is a happy event in the village, if the whole village is invited to a banquet, everyone will use a basket of eggs or pull half a foot of cloth as a gift.

In the past few years, some people in the village have had happy events, and they have been invited to their homes. Mrs. Liu always asks the housekeeper to attend the ceremony and have a banquet. As for what to send, it depends on the previous relationship.

Lu Shi: This is treating the people with the first and second houses as neighbors in the village!If only they could do the same!I'm really worried that the things will be delivered, and the people in the first room and the second room think they are doing well, and they will stick to them like leeches and suck blood.If the delivery is not good, there are shops in the town and the emperor has shops, and people in the village will criticize them!
Lu Shi is a person who is reluctant to lose face, but doesn't want to give more things that are cheaper than they should be, and is worried about being made irresponsible remarks.

"Then how should our family follow the etiquette? I always feel that it is not appropriate to do so." Lu said with a serious head.They almost caused her to have a miscarriage, and Lu Shi really didn't want to be with her anymore, but unfortunately she didn't break up the relationship, and she had to prepare a heavy gift for her reputation, which made her feel very aggrieved.

Mrs. Liu is not easy to answer this question.

"What's so difficult about it? Reciprocity is all about courtesy. When Xiao Jingmin was full moon, his hometown followed the etiquette, so the fourth aunt followed the etiquette!" Why do many people keep these things in the notebook in their families? Here, it is for the future exchange of courtesy!It is not good to give a light gift, and it is not good to give a heavy gift!One is that I have lost money, and the other is that for a family that values ​​etiquette, other people will send the same heavy gift back next time. If that family is not well off, it will increase the burden on others!
It's really a word that wakes up the dreamer!Lu Shi clapped his hands: "Why didn't I think of that!"

Lu's youngest son Man Yue, Shen Zhuang sent a half-foot moldy cloth head, and Erfang sent a basket of eggs. I don't know if the eggs were stinky in the first place, or they stink on the way to deliver them. In short, Lu Just received a basket of rotten eggs!She was so angry that she almost didn't go back in the carriage and threw them one by one in Li Shi's face!It's hard to believe that there are more eggs in the basket than eggs, but none of them have been broken all the way!Lu Shi thought bitterly.

Now is indeed the time for reciprocity!

She has to go home and look through the storeroom to see if there are any moldy cloth heads. In return, she respects them as long houses, and she will give them a foot!It's a double return!Give them enough face!
I really regret throwing away that half-foot moldy cloth head!If I knew it earlier, I would keep it and send it back.

"When are the four brothers and sisters going to take things back home? My family seems to have goods to be transported back to Shengping County tomorrow, so I'll help you bring them back by the way." Liu said.

"Okay, I'll go back tonight and prepare the gift, and send it over tomorrow morning." Lu Shi nodded.

Xiao'er glanced out the window and saw that the wind was blowing violently and the rain was about to fall, so she said, "It's going to rain heavily. Fourth aunt should go back after dinner. I'll go back to my room first."

Mrs. Lu nodded in agreement, and talked about some homework with Mrs. Liu.

It had been raining for more than an hour, and after dinner, Shangguan Xuanyi hadn't sent anyone to send a message, presumably it was because of Shiji who couldn't get away.

Xiao'er looked at the garden washed by the wind and rain and was a little dazed. Shangguan Xuanyi had the pill in his hand, the emperor would be fine, but he didn't know the reason why the emperor suddenly passed out.

When a person gets old, his body will deteriorate every year, and the functions of every organ in the body will naturally decline. The things in her space can delay aging, but they cannot prevent old age and death.

The emperor's fainting this time probably brought hope to some people.

Xiao'er thought to herself while writing down the rituals for her servants during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
