The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 496 New Year's Money ([-])
When Su Chengzhi brought his wife and children to He'anju, Mrs. Lu had already dressed up and was waiting for them to kowtow.

Naturally, Su Chengzhi led Ning to kowtow to Mrs. Lu first, wishing Mrs. Lu a long and healthy life and all the best.

The old lady Lu chuckled, took two red envelopes from Nanny Wu and handed them to Su Chengzhi and Ning respectively.

This is the second New Year's money that Su Chengzhi and Ning received on the first day of the New Year. Su Chengzhi and his wife, who have confiscated the New Year's money for [-] or [-] years, took the New Year's red envelope in a daze, and then kowtowed to thank them, feeling a little out of sorts .

When his parents got up, Su Yunduo and his three younger brothers knelt down and kowtowed in front of Mrs. Lu, and said in unison, "I wish grandma good health and forever young."

Although Su Zerui was obviously a little out of order, she was so happy that Old Madam Lu kept saying hello, and she was so happy that she could see her teeth but not see her eyes. After so many years, she finally looked forward to this day, and naturally everyone got a big red envelope.

The old lady Lu's red envelope was initiated by the youngest Su Zerui. Su Zerui got up from the ground after receiving the red envelope, holding the red envelope high and ran to Ning's: "Mother, save it, daughter-in-law!"

Su Yunduo was overwhelmed by it, and deeply regretted making fun of Su Zerui with his daughter-in-law.

The old lady Lu paused, and speeded up the speed of giving the red envelope. When the last red envelope was handed over to Su Yunduo, Su Zerui over there had already stuffed her red envelope into Ning's hand, and kept yelling to save his daughter-in-law Book.

Su Yunduo was so embarrassed that he almost rushed over to cover the little one's mouth!

Fortunately, there are only Madam Wu and Cui Zhu who are serving in He An Ju today, otherwise, it would be really embarrassing if the news got out.

"You can't make fun of such words in the future. Brother Rui is still young, how can you know the seriousness?" After learning the reason, Mrs. Lu was a little bit dumbfounded, pointing at Su Yunduo for a while before saying such a sentence.

Su Yunduo should be respectful, so she will not say it again, this is ancient times, not as open as the previous life.

This matter was left unmentioned like this, Su Yunduo then turned around and took a purse from Ziyue, this was the last purse of the day, and naturally it was also the richest one.

Su Yunduo knelt down in front of Mrs. Lu again, holding the purse in both hands: "This is the new year's money given to grandma by my granddaughter. I wish grandma a long and healthy life and always smile."

This time it was the old lady Lu who was stunned, and the expression on her face was even more hesitant than when Su Chengzhi and Ning received the new year's money.

Compared with Su Chengzhi and Ning's, Mrs. Lu's memory of receiving the New Year's money is naturally longer. She hardly remembers when the last time she received the New Year's money, and from whom.

Unexpectedly, in this life, I can still receive lucky money red envelopes from my granddaughter.

She was stunned for a long time, until Madam Wu reminded Su Yunduo that she was still kneeling, the old lady Lu regained her composure, stared at Su Yunduo for a few more breaths, and then reached out to take the purse from Su's hand.

The purse is light, but Mrs. Lu understands that the lighter the purse is, the more important its contents cannot be ignored.

The old lady Lu took a look at Su Chengzhi and Ning Shi. From the expressions on the couple's faces, the old lady Lu roughly guessed that the couple should also have received Su Yunduo's red envelope.

The old lady Lu motioned for Su Yunduo to get up, pulled her to sit down beside her, looked at Su Yunduo lovingly, and after a long while stretched out her hand to touch Su Yunduo's small face and said with a smile: "Then grandma will accept it, grandma has already I haven't received lucky money for decades, thank you sister Duo, grandma is very happy today."

To pay New Year's greetings to Mrs. Lu, the family used some dumplings or glutinous rice balls according to their own preferences. Su Chengzhi took his three sons to the clan to pay New Year's greetings to the clan elders and elders.

The women stayed in the mansion to receive the clansmen who brought their children to the mansion to pay New Year's greetings, but this is not Geshan Village, and there are not many people who can really enter the inner courtyard to pay New Year's greetings to Mrs. Lu, so the butler is in the concierge as in previous years. Sitting in the formation is responsible for receiving these tribesmen who come to pay New Year's greetings.

Naturally, they prepared a lot of snacks and snacks, most of which were made by Bai Zhi, who was next to Su Yunduo, with a few maids, following Su Yunduo's instructions, and some preserved fruits, which were very popular with the children.

In order to get more mouths, some children even touched them quietly to pay New Year's greetings.

Whenever this happens, the butler doesn’t point it out, and still smiles and grabs a handful of candy for the children who come to give them a snack. It’s cold during the New Year’s Eve, and the children who come to pay New Year’s greetings are all members of the clan. And most of them are those from the Pangzhi clan with average family background. Su Yunduo specifically told the housekeeper that as long as the children who come here are not too much, just give them snacks.

Fortunately, there are not many real top students in the Su clan, probably because the shame of the scholarly family is stronger than that of ordinary people. No matter how difficult the family is, the children in the Su clan can all enter the family school to study, and they all regard themselves as scholars , Naturally, I can't do things that come back endlessly for nodding.

The customs of the first day of junior high school in Beijing are not much different from those in Geshan Village.

Get up early to kowtow to the elders and say some auspicious words. After the elders are worshipped, they should distribute the "lucky money" prepared in advance to the younger generations.

After paying New Year's greetings to the elders in the family, the head of the family either personally or sends the younger generation to bring the younger children or give New Year greetings to neighbors or elders in the clan.

When they meet on the road, whether they know each other or not, they will smile and congratulate each other on the New Year, and say auspicious words such as "Gong Xi Fa Cai" and "Happy New Year".

What Su Yunduo didn't expect was that Su Miao, who was about to get married, came to the second room together with Su Lin. They first went to He'antang to pay New Year's greetings to Mrs. Lu. New Year's greetings from the elders.

"Sister Duo, what's the matter? I haven't seen you for a few days, and you seem to be in a daze." Seeing Su Yunduo's expression of incomprehension, Su Miao gently pushed Su Yunduo and joked.

"Why is there such a custom in the capital? The girl's family actually has to go out of the house to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year." After a long while, Su Yunduo said with a puzzled face.

"It's not a custom in the capital, but a custom in our Su Clan. The people living here in Dongmingfang are all members of our clan, and they are all brothers and sisters of our own family. They are not outsiders." Su Miao explained for Su Yunduo frankly.

Su Lin also laughed and said, "Second Grandmother just knew that you didn't understand the customs of our clan, so she made an agreement with Eldest Aunt early on that Sister Miao and I will invite you to visit the New Year together today."

It turns out that there is such a custom in the Su Clan!
Since it's just a custom, not all the girls in the Su clan will come out to pay New Year's greetings, after all, New Year's greetings are a lot of work.

But Mrs. Lu has been thinking about this matter in her heart. She wants to let Su Yunduo, who has just recognized her ancestors, live a new year that truly belongs to Su's daughter according to the girl in the clan, so that Su Yunduo will have no regrets.

Su Yunduo silently thanked Mrs. Lu for her thoughtfulness.
