Crown Princess, she can catch ghosts

Chapter 277 Preparing for the New Year
The day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve.

Dian Su and Shi Zi got up early in the morning, ready to follow Princess Huai's order to go to find her together.

In Zhenxihou's mansion, everything has already been arranged, and the festive lanterns, red silk, Yingluo and peach charms have all been arranged.

However, the mansion was a little too quiet at the moment, and there were not many servants walking around.

Dian Su felt curious, but didn't ask any further questions.

Seemingly seeing Diansu's doubts, the son took the initiative to explain: "Uncle's family went to the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors today, but we don't have to go."

King Huai and Concubine Huai are members of the royal family, so naturally they don't get involved in this matter. If they are in Gyeonggi, they should go to the ancestral temple with the current emperor today to worship their ancestors.

However, they are not free today.

Years ago, Yeguo was very particular. Apart from worshiping ancestors, he also visited relatives and friends.

After the new year, most officials will go to Gyeonggi to celebrate the New Year, and no matter how bad they are, they will have to send a booklet to celebrate the New Year.

At that time, King Huai and Princess Huai will naturally enter Beijing with Marquis Zhenxi.

Therefore, today they will prepare the flying posts and send them to the friends they have made one by one.

After that, it is necessary to decide on the makeup of peach blossom makeup and Tsing Yi on New Year's Eve to welcome the arrival of the New Year.

The two met King Huai and Princess Huai in the courtyard of Princess Huai.

The prince bowed to salute the two, and before Dian Su could make a move, Princess Huai pulled her to sit down.

"Susu, come and sit down, you don't need to pay attention to those formalities."

Princess Huai's voice was soft, like a spring breeze blowing, warming one's heart.

Dian Su followed Princess Huai's wishes, sat on the seat beside her, and listened to Princess Huai's continuation.

"This year, you can't go back to celebrate the New Year with your relatives in the town. It's approaching the end of the year, and I don't know what the customs are like in Dingshan Town. I asked the housekeeper to prepare a few years' gift and send it to Shanglin Village. I said it was you who prepared it. Give them an apology. Look back and see if there is anything else you need, just ask someone to prepare it."

"Thank you, princess."

Dian Su felt a little touched.

She originally thought that tomorrow she would find time to take back the pre-arranged things and have someone hand them over to relatives for the New Year's Eve, but she didn't expect that Princess Huai had already given gifts in her name.

"By the way, my lord and I are about to write a flying post today. Originally, this matter has nothing to do with you, so you can go and play for a while."

"But I thought, even though you can't go back to Dingshan Town for the New Year, you can still write a flying post to show your filial piety."

Speaking of which, Princess Huai took out several pieces of gold-sprinkled red paper with different patterns painted on them, and handed them to Diansu.

Wen Zhengming's "New Year's Greetings" poem says: "I don't want to see each other, but to pay a visit, and famous papers come to fill my hut."I also cast papers with others, and the world is too simple to be too vain.

Yeguo has always had the custom of posting flyers to congratulate the New Year, but in the past Diansu was in a remote place, and people in the village could see them when they went out, so naturally they would not use this.

After clicking Su, he followed Princess Huai and started to write flyers to relatives in Dingshan Town.

Although she can't write, Shizi is very good at it, and the two of them quickly wrote a few letters together.

There are a lot of people in the village, so naturally it is impossible for every household in Diansu to write a letter back, so he only wrote to the village chief and a few older elders.

After thinking about it, Diansu asked the son to tell the servants in Dingshan Town to prepare some wine and meat, and send them to the festival for her village.

During the Chinese New Year, Dingshan Town has the habit of offering sacrifices to the door, offering sacrifices to the silkworm god, eating bean porridge and Wuxin plate. In previous years, they would gather together and be lively.

Dian Su is considered married now, but on such a big day, she should also show a little bit of filial piety.

In this regard, Shizi naturally would not refuse, and took care of everything for Diansu one by one.

Now Shizi and Diansu are like husband and wife, and they are just short of getting married, let alone he married Diansu. As a husband, such things should be taken care of by him.

After writing the flyer and having lunch, I choose the Tsing Yi style.

There is a special embroiderer in the mansion who is in charge, Tsing Yi has already sewed several pieces according to the style of the two, if you don't like it, you can go to the tailor shop to buy ready-made ones.

However, Concubine Huai clearly understood Diansu and Shizi's preferences very well, the custom-made clothes were not only very suitable in size, but even the styles, patterns and patterns were in line with their tastes and preferences.

It can be seen from this that Princess Huai really loves Diansu as her own daughter, and the treatment is not much worse than that of the eldest son, and she has never been biased or made things difficult.

To meet such a reasonable and considerate mother-in-law, if Diansu didn't have any thoughts in her heart, it was impossible.

However, Dian Su didn't say those moving words.

Sometimes, the affection will be reflected in every action, even the slightest bit. Princess Huai and Dian Su don't know what to say, but they understand each other.

After choosing the Tsing Yi, it is time to choose the appropriate makeup.

There will be a grand Lantern Festival on New Year's Eve, and firecrackers and fireworks will be set off, which is very lively.

When the old age is kept, you can go to the street to play.

At that time, countless young ladies would wear the most beautiful clothes, the most fashionable jewelry, and the most beautiful makeup to go to the street.

This is not just to show off their beauty, but also to represent their family background.

Although Prince Huai's mansion does not need Su to show financial resources and power in this way, Princess Huai still wants to dress up Su so beautifully, at least not to fall behind.

Dian Su has clear eyebrows and handsome eyes, which is good-looking, but not particularly beautiful.

If you really want to talk about appearance alone, it's really not as good-looking as those noble ladies in the palace.

It's just that the indifference on her body is unique, as if her whole body has been soaked in the snow of plum blossoms, she looks cold and proud, making people dare not desecrate her.

In this way, Dian Su's originally not particularly outstanding appearance became more and more noticeable.

Putting on a light-colored Tsing Yi embroidered with silver and bamboo, it has an excellent temperament, cool and dusty, like a fairy under the moon, making people reluctant to leave their eyes after one glance.

The prince loves Su's appearance so much, the cold and alienated feeling that people dare not desecrate, but every time he approaches, it turns into a clear spring and wraps around his fingertips.

Because of Diansu's coldness, he never turns to the people he cares about.

The crown prince was fascinated, and Princess Huai couldn't help but joked, "Why, isn't it enough to watch every day?"

Hearing this, the prince blushed with shame for a moment, and immediately looked away in embarrassment.

Princess Huai said softly: "You, don't be embarrassed, you are not too young, you have not let me and your father worry less these years, and when I return to Beijing after the year, I will marry Susu, otherwise, I will drag it on to treat her It has a bad reputation."

The prince listened, nodded, and said yes.

He didn't say anything about it.

These days, the son and Dian Su Riri are together, even if they are engaged, they are not married after all, and there will always be people who are lonely and widowed.

As a man, the son seems to be more lenient in the secular world, and most of the people who are talked about are Diansu.

The son understands that the mother concubine is doing this for him and Diansu, well, what's more, he also hopes that he and Diansu can get married as soon as possible and stay together forever.

Dian Su listened to it, although there was no reaction on the face, but his heart was a little hot.

After trying on several sets of clothes, both Shi Zi and Princess Huai felt that the green dress embroidered with green bamboo was the most beautiful, so they decided on that dress.

As for the peach blossom makeup, it is used for banquets after the year.

Concubine Huai thought, it will be a few months after returning to Gyeonggi, and she probably won't have to deal with those annoying banquets anymore, so she simply didn't pick up makeup, and just chose a few sets of beautiful silver and jade ornaments for Diansu , let them go.
