Quick wear: She has turned over the big guys from all walks of life

Chapter 1415 Famine and Natural Disaster 573
"I sent it a long time ago."

Chen Daya clapped her hands and sighed, then looked at her heartless daughter, feeling depressed, "You are such a kid, and you still can laugh. If someone deliberately talks about it, what will happen to your reputation? The annual gift to honor teachers can even be paid by the prince of Zhou."

She is such a smart person, she has never suffered any loss at home, and even less outside; how could her daughter be so unplanned? Look at how long this matter has been going on for several years.

If Mingyi knew what Chen Daya was thinking, she would definitely complain in her mind: her mother had a happy life. After getting married, she had her husband to protect her at her in-laws' home, and also her husband to protect her outside. It's not that she is smart, it's just that she is lucky.

Chen Daya was unhappy and kept mumbling; Mingyi just listened and let it go, not taking it to heart, letting her mutter as she pleased.

"Stupid kid, I'll prepare the annual gifts in the future, remember to remind me."

Mingyi touched his arm, watched his mother walk away, and muttered, "I have been living like this for so many years. If I fail to deliver the gifts in the future, won't it be even more embarrassing?"

She doesn't worry anyway.

Having lived through so many worlds, she understands better than anyone that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, and the more things one can do.

It would be better to let go early. As long as the teacher doesn't mind, nothing anyone can say will help.

"Sigh~"

"My dear mother, you must have spanked me so hard that I might have turned red." He rubbed his arm and turned back to the house. His mother spanked me so hard that I wonder if it turned red.

When Chunmei came back, she saw Mingyi's clothes were half-undressed. "Master, what's wrong with you? Do you want to change your clothes?"

Mingyi pulled her clothes down to her arm that had been slapped, revealing a red fingerprint.

"Master, who dares to hit you?" Chunmei's face suddenly changed. She quickly stepped forward and grabbed her arm to look at her. "Master, who hit you? You are so brave."

"My mother."

Chunmei hadn't finished her words when her expression changed again, like a chameleon.

Mingyi rubbed the skin with the finger marks twice, "It will disappear after a while. Fortunately, there are no bruises."

"Master, why did Madam hit you? She hit you so hard." I grew up in the palace and saw how the daughters of the big families were pampered. When they made mistakes, they were punished by copying books or kneeling in the ancestral hall. The family rules were rarely used. Looking at the blow the master received, those who didn't know would think that he had done something very wrong.

"It's okay, I'm not hurt." She didn't want to say more and didn't tell the reason.

Chunmei nodded, "I'll get you some pain-relieving and swelling-reducing ointment." She straightened up, turned around and dug out a small blue and white porcelain bottle from the drawer of the dressing table. There was a label on it that read 'swelling-reducing ointment'.

Straightforward and easy to recognize.

"Master, the ointment is here."

Chunmei opened the bottle cap, scooped out a little and smeared it on the red handprint, while smearing, she asked, "Master, does it still hurt?"

"It hurts." How long has it been since I applied the medicine? It's not a miracle drug.

"I'll apply medicine to you in an hour." No matter how distressed she was, she would never mention the mistress's faults. She was just a maid, and she had no right to speak about the affairs of her master and her daughter.

The finger mark hurt her for most of the day, and when she saw her old mother was about to hit someone, she quickly ran away and didn't dare to take it head-on; she could obviously avoid it, but she insisted on waiting to be beaten, which was like forcing herself to endure the hardship.

In the afternoon, a group of guards came to the house. Mingyi met them in person and realized that they were sent by Zhou Ting to deliver New Year gifts.

"Miss Cheng, the prince will be very busy in the future. He has many affairs in the palace, the northwest, and the army. He cannot come to send you New Year gifts or visit you. I asked my subordinate to bring you a letter. Please accept it."

The head guard handed over the envelope with both hands.

Mingyi accepted it after just one look, then counted the return gifts prepared by his family, returned to the yard, away from everyone, took out two sandalwood boxes and presented them to the chief guard alone.

"Thank you. Go back and tell your prince that everything is fine here and he doesn't need to worry. The big box is for the princess, and the small box is for your prince."

"Yes, I understand."

"I'm fine here, you guys should hurry back, the road will be hard to walk on if it snows."

"I'm taking my leave." The guards put down the boxes of New Year gifts and retreated in a large group.

After they left, she turned around and looked at her family, "Grandpa, grandma, let's divide the things."

"Okay, we'll count the things later and then send them to your yard." Cheng Dazhu nodded in agreement. Those things were all very valuable. Although they would also give gifts in return, those things were not worthy of the attention of the powerful people.

All in all, they get a huge bargain every year.

Mingyi went back and took out the envelope, opened it and read it carefully.

The letter began with some coaxing words, then expressed apologies, and then extended an invitation to her at the end, inviting her to watch the Lantern Festival on New Year's Eve and asking her if she would like to.

He put away the letter, stuffed it into the space, and immediately picked up the pen to write two words on a clean paper.

"Come and pick it up."

easy to understand.

I guarantee that Joshua Wong will know what I mean at a glance.

"Chunmei, Chunmei"

"Master, I'm here. What do you want me to do for you?" Chunmei came quickly and was very polite.

Mingyi folded the paper and handed it to her, then took it back halfway. Under Chunmei's puzzled gaze, she said, "Forget it, just do your thing first."

"Okay, master." He left again with doubts.

Mingyi placed the folded paper on the dressing table and spoke slowly, "I heard someone coming out. Send this paper to your young master."

"Here."

A dark shadow appeared silently, took something and disappeared again.

Mingyi shook her head. They were not hiding very well. In addition to the one who came out, there were three more in the dark. Chaosheng had assigned her several secret guards.

Fucheng, Prince Zhou's Mansion.

The secret guard entered Zhou Ting's study room unimpeded. Zhou Ting was struggling with a memorial. When he noticed someone coming in, he looked up and glanced at him nonchalantly, "Did your master call you over?"

"Your Highness, yes, the master asked me to deliver this to you." As he spoke, he held the folded paper in both hands.

"Bring it up."

"Here."

The secret guard put the things on the table and slowly pushed them in front of him.

Zhou Ting opened it and smiled immediately, "I know. Go pick her up on New Year's Eve and let your mistress wear the red dress with peony flowers on it."

"I understand, I will resign."

After they left, Zhou Ting became more motivated to work on the memorials. He had to work faster and finish all the work on New Year's Eve so that he could have two more days to rest.

It is now the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month. I stopped writing yesterday. As long as I deal with these piled up memorials, I will have ten days to relax. No more business will come up until the eighth day of the new year when I start to write.

After Mingyi got the message brought back by the secret guard, she asked Chunmei to find the red peony dress hanging in the closet; this dress was only worn once and after being washed and hung in the closet, it looked no different from a new one.

"Chunmei, your shoes and cloak should be the same color, and you should wear agate on your waist. The table should be yellow jade, and your headdress should be a peony hairpin."

Chunmei took out the things one by one and put them together with the clothes. After adjusting them, she asked, "Master, is it too plain? If you plan to wear it on New Year's Day, you can add two velvet flowers and pink pearls."

"You can wear this when visiting the Lantern Festival on New Year's Eve." There are too many things to wear during the Lantern Festival, making it inconvenient to travel.
