The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 701 Entering the Palace to Congratulate
After watching the fireworks and eating dumplings, the vigil is over.

Although Su Yunduo was in charge of Zhongfu, there was no reason for her to keep an eye on cleaning up, so after waiting for the two elderly people to sleep, Su Yunduo and Lu Jinkang went back to Xiaofengyuan together.

All the family members in Xiaofengyuan were released by Su Yunduo to reunite with their families, and those who still stayed in Xiaofengyuan as errands were homeless people like Nanny Ding and Ziyue.

However, Su Yunduo had already made arrangements for these people, and the people staying behind at this moment also just finished their program, and when the masters came back, they hurried forward to serve them.

Because they had to get up early tomorrow morning to pay New Year's greetings to their ancestors and elders, both of them took time to come back to take a bath before the reunion banquet, and now they just washed up a little before they rested.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, according to the usual practice of the Zhen Guo Mansion, men, women and children in the He Mansion would get up before dawn, and they would be completely new from head to toe.

Although it is necessary to pay New Year's greetings to the ancestors on this day, there is no need to go to the ancestral hall. Instead, an incense table is set up in the main hall of the Zhenghe Hall, which is the main courtyard, and then the ancestors are kowtowed to the ancestors in turn according to their seniority.

After kowtowing to the ancestors and paying New Year's greetings to the ancestors, it is to pay New Year's greetings to Lu Mingyang and An's, then to other elders, and finally to exchange New Year's greetings between peers.

Naturally, the elders have to give lucky money to the younger generation. This year, Su Yunduo, as the sister-in-law, naturally has to prepare lucky red envelopes for the younger brothers and sisters in the house. Of course, she also received a lot of red envelopes from the mansion. Uncles and aunts are all missing.

After the New Year's greetings are booming, and the He Mansion has a sumptuous breakfast in Zhenghe Hall, it's time to enter the palace to congratulate.

This is also an important reason why no matter how late you sleep on New Year's Eve, the town government will have to get up before dawn on the first day of the new year.

According to their grades, apart from Lu Mingyang and An's family, Lu Jinkang and his wife Su Yunduo, who have become the heirs of the Zhen Guo Duke's Mansion, need to enter the imperial congratulations today.

Although the other lords are all serving in the court, their grades are not high, and they don't need to enter the palace.

Entering the palace to congratulate is a laborious task. Fortunately, the Duke of Zhen Guo has a precious concubine in the palace, which is much easier than other wives entering the palace to congratulate. At least there is no need to blow cold wind outside the palace. The eunuchs and maids of honor in the concubine's hall were already waiting in front of the palace gate, and they directly took An and Su Yunduo to the precious concubine's Zhongcui Palace to talk.

Before An's and Su Yunduo arrived at Zhongcui Palace, they saw the happy-dressed eldest princess bringing the sixth prince, who was also in a happy outfit, approaching them.

An Shi, who was sitting on the soft sedan chair, hurriedly called to stop the soft sedan chair, and got down to kneel down.

Even if the oncoming person is her grandson and granddaughter, there is still a difference between monarch and minister, Anshi does not dare to take it too seriously, especially in this palace where there are eyes everywhere.

Naturally, the Eldest Princess couldn't make An's kneel down, and ran two quick steps to support An's: "They are all from my own family, grandma must not be polite."

An's failed to kneel down, but Su Yunduo couldn't. After helping An's get off the soft sedan chair, Su Yunduo had already knelt down.

Because of this, Su Yunduo was really unwilling to enter the palace. For her, entering the palace to give birth is a glorious thing, and it is really a hard job.

Fortunately, the Eldest Princess did not ignore Su Yunduo, and when she was supporting An Shi, she had already ordered the Eldest Palace Maid beside her to help Su Yunduo up from the ground.

The sixth prince, who is not very talkative on weekdays, was rarely close to Su Yunduo today, looked up at Su Yunduo and said in a low voice, "Thank you for the duck down robe, cousin sister-in-law, it is really light and warm, fourth brother, fifth brother and seventh brother They are envious!"

Su Yunduo couldn't help smiling, lowered his head slightly and said in a low voice: "I can't deserve the sixth prince's thanks, the sixth prince thinks the clothes are good, and the minister's wife is the happiest.

It was the first year of this year, and I was inexperienced. The quantity of duck down was limited, and there were only enough high-quality duck downs for a few pieces to be sent to the palace.

If the fourth prince, fifth prince, and seventh prince brought it up again, they would have to ask the sixth prince to help his courtiers and wives explain a thing or two.

This year, we will increase the collection and selection of duck down, and will try our best to meet the needs of the palace. "

It is probably the first time that the sixth prince has been entrusted with such a solemn request, so he nodded very seriously and said: "Don't worry, cousin, I will definitely explain it for my cousin, so don't worry, everyone, next winter at the latest There will be."

Such a sixth prince looks very cute, Su Yunduo's heart is so soft that he just reaches out and touches his head as he did to Su Zechen. Fortunately, his reason is still there, and he knows that this is in the palace, and the person talking to him in front of him is His Majesty's favorite prince calmed himself down and smiled at the sixth prince, "Then I should thank the sixth prince!"

Said that the group of people had already entered the Zhongcui Palace, and the precious concubine came out holding the hand of the mother.

According to the rules, Su Yunduo was dragged to the side hall by the eldest princess to speak.

"Thank you for drawing the design draft for Xin Wanfu again. I heard it's selling well!" The two sat down in the side hall, and the eldest princess waved back the maids and eunuchs who were waiting in the side hall, holding Su Yunduo's hand and said. .

As soon as Lu Yuhua's son was born, Su Yunduo began to prepare for the full moon ceremony. For this reason, he specially drew a set of zodiac ornaments that were more cartoonish and cuter than last time, and sent them to Xin Wanfu.

At first, I was a little worried about whether this slightly expanded zodiac pattern would be accepted by people of this era, but I didn't expect the first batch of jade pendants made according to this design to be sold out in just half a day, and nearly a hundred This order requires making a life lock or jade pendant according to the specified zodiac picture.

The second batch of longevity locks will be sold over the counter after the year, but this time the zodiac longevity lock Xin Wanfu's shopkeeper specially asked Su Yunduo to make appropriate modifications according to the feedback from the first batch of jade pendants, which should be more in line with the aesthetics of this era .

The two of them couldn't talk for a long time in the side hall, because today was entering the palace to celebrate, so they were going to the Queen's Fengwu Palace to celebrate.

After some tossing, it was already noon when he left the palace, since he had eaten some snacks in Zhongcui Palace, at this hour, Su Yunduo really felt a little hungry.

Looking at the wives who came out of the palace one after another, few of them had good looks on their faces.

Today Chaohe was relegated to concubine Hua because of her former favorite concubine Huagui. It can be said that the weather is calm and nothing happened.

At this time, Su Yunduo felt that it was more beneficial to have a high-ranking concubine who happened to be a favorite concubine in the palace. If they hadn't been taken directly to the Zhongcui Palace by the precious women, they would have to wait for the congratulations in the cold wind like everyone else. He didn't even have a chance to eat snacks to fill his stomach. Naturally, it's not just as simple as feeling a little hungry at the moment, he must have been so hungry for a long time.

After getting into the carriage, Su Yunduo quickly poured a cup of hot juice for An Shi and himself.

There is a small stove specially installed in the carriage of the Duke of Zhenguo’s mansion, which can not only heat up the carriage, but also provide hot tea at any time. Today, Su Yunduo specially asked people to warm the sweet and sour juice on the stove. In addition, he also specially brought I picked up a food box containing snacks, and now I have a bite of snacks with hot juice, which is really an indescribable enjoyment.
