Mother Li, Mrs. Li and Li Sanniang gave gifts to Wu Qiaolan and Bao Ya, because the three of them were looking for Wu Qiaolan alone in private, and Wu Qiaolan is not the kind of person who just shows off when she gets something, she is very low-key, so it didn't cause any trouble in the Li family.

On the second day, Wu Qiaolan still had the same expression as usual, and she didn't say that she had received the thank-you gift from Li's mother, nor did she take out the hairpin Li Sanniang bought for her to wear.

Therefore, this made the second sister-in-law Li not aware of the key points, and she still treated Wu Qiaolan as usual.

Although it is a gift of thanks to people, if it is an important event outside, it should be given in front of everyone. After all, the gift of thanks is mainly about gratitude, not a gift, it should actually save face for people.

But who made Li's family have a jealous second sister-in-law?

It would be a lie to say that Mother Li and the three of them didn't think that if they really gave these gifts to Wu Qiaolan in front of everyone, especially Li Ersao, they were afraid that Li Ersao would say or do something inappropriate.

In fact, Li's mother and the others definitely chose to give gifts to Wu Qiaolan in private because they were afraid that Second Aunt Li would say harsh words to Wu Qiaolan in the days to come, or do some tricks.

Everything is nothing more than human heart and human nature.

After all, if she really treated Wu Qiaolan differently because of Li Ersao, what would Li's mother say and do well?
Li Erxiong is the wife of Li Erxiong, not to mention the husband and wife, Li Erxiong also has three sons with Li Erxiong, regardless of Li Erxiong's face, Li Sanlang, Xiaoshilang, and Xiaowulang's face must also be taken care of.

Therefore, it is quite understandable that Mother Li and the others chose to give gifts to Wu Qiaolan in private.

As the new year approached, the city of Chang'an became more and more lively. The caravans and pedestrians coming and going brought a lot of festive atmosphere to this city with a population of one million.

In the past few days, Mother Li has been deliberating on the list of New Year's gifts for various families, such as close relatives, such as Uncle Li's family, Dr. Gao's family, Jiang's family, and Wu's family are all old relatives, so just follow the old rules.

If there is any difference, that is, if someone adds and imports, or someone passes away, just add or subtract a little bit.

There are also families that Li's father and Li's mother have been friends with for many years, and they all follow the old rules.

Li's mother is mainly thinking about some families who have only started to make friends with the Li family in recent years, and only went through the annual ceremony last year. Such things need to be carefully considered.

In fact, it is mainly the colleagues of Brother Li, and this year, the colleagues of Li Erlang, who has already become an official, have to be added. These are the contacts of the Li family.

Originally, Mrs. Li should take care of all these things in the eldest house of the Li family, but isn't this a special situation this year?
Mrs. Li gave birth to Xiao Liulang, and she is not yet confinement, so how can she bother with these things?
In addition, Li Dalang is at the border and has not yet married a wife, so Li's mother has to come and watch these things.

As for the second room of the Li family, most of them are the relationship between the second brother Li in the medicinal material store, and at most a few ulcer doctors who the second brother Li met with Li Sanniang at the Imperial Medical Office.

And this is mostly done by Brother Li himself.

The most embarrassing thing for Li's mother is actually Li Sanniang's side. Since Li Sanniang became the first female doctor in Chang'an City, especially Li Sanniang has rescued many women and daughters of high-ranking and wealthy families, and then went to give lectures to the Imperial Medical Office.

And Li Sanniang herself is busy with the daily duty in the medical hall. When she is free, she is also very busy. How can she have time to deal with these human affairs?
In addition, Li Sanniang has been living in Li's house since she divorced, and there is no one else around except Qiuxiang, the female guard.

So, in the end, it was Li's mother who was difficult, and Li's mother was also busy.

After Li Sanniang returned home on duty this day, she saw Li's mother facing a large pile of annual gift lists from various families, and only then did she gain a deep understanding of her family's interpersonal relationship.

Li Sanniang picked up Lu Zhu'er, let Lu Zhu'er sit on her left arm, and she used her right hand to look through the main hall, the ground, the table, and the small table. Li Sanniang looked very surprised at Mother Li who was checking several gift lists: "Mother, why are you so old?

Haven't you delivered a lot in the past few days? "

Mother Li didn't raise her head, her eyes were still staring at the gift list, she opened the wooden box on the table to check and replied to Li Sanniang's words: "Two days ago, it was a gift from your elder brother's colleague, most of the ones I gave today are because of you."

Li Sanniang saw that Li's mother was so busy that she didn't have time to talk to herself, so she quickly put down the dew in her arms and let her play by herself. Then Li Sanniang took two gift slips from Li's mother and checked them with Li's mother.

Before Li Sanniang opened the gift list, she said to Li's mother: "Yes, it's not, I thought it would be very busy as the New Year is approaching and every family's annual ceremony is approaching, but I didn't expect it to be so busy.

Otherwise, Auntie, why don't we go to the street and hire an accountant, and come to the house to help out for a few days. "

Mother Li raised her head after hearing Li Sanniang's words, put down the gift list in her hand and shook her head at Li Sanniang, explaining: "It's not appropriate.

If this is the case, it is necessary to explain our family relationship with outsiders clearly.

If our family is an official family who has been in the officialdom for many years, we can directly hire a housekeeper to help the house.

But in our family, your eldest brother and Da Lang are both military officials, and although Er Lang is a civil servant, but now he is just a junior official entering the officialdom, how can he use that kind of ostentation?
If someone is really invited to come to the door, I am afraid that the neighbors will have to gossip about our family.

And you forgot, most of the relationships you come here are female relatives of various families, and people give gifts to our family because you treat others, so it is even more difficult for outsiders to know the relationship between our family and others when it involves the health of female relatives. "

Having said that, Li's mother put down the counted gift list in her hand, picked up another gift list on the side while looking at it, and continued to say to Li Sanniang: "It's okay now, Auntie is busy, but it's just that I am busy this year, so I look a little busy.

Staying next year, with your sister-in-law helping me, I won't have to do this anymore. "

Li Sanniang hurriedly looked at Li's mother in admiring manner: "Thank you, Ma'am, I am tired.

Auntie is tired, just say, Qiuxiang and I will be able to finish this after a few days. "

Li's mother smiled, and gave Li Sanniang a look, "You are used to pouring ecstasy soup on Aniang.

Come on, as long as you and Qiuxiang can finish the stack at hand today. "

Li Sanniang didn't trust her, and called Qiuxiang to help. Li Sanniang read the items on the gift list, and Qiuxiang went to count them.

After all, the cooperation of the two is a bit faster than Li's mother doing things alone.

With this in mind, Li Sanniang concluded that most of the annual gifts sent to Li's family related to her were from people who had seen Li Sanniang for medical treatment.

For example, the Qian family and the Gao family were the first to know Li Sanniang, and then there were physicians who knew Li Sanniang well, such as the Tang family (Tang Mingyue, Chen Yanfu), and then Li Sanniang's old doctor Li and Cui in the medical hall where Li Sanniang was on duty, and Dr. Sun who met because of the Imperial Medical Office.

In addition to these, there are also doctors such as Wang Ye and Bi Yuanjia who have contacted because of the exchange hall founded by Li Sanniang and the doctor exchange meeting.

Although it was not unexpected, it was still a bit surprising that Li Sanniang's master, old doctor Liang's disciples, and the annual gift list from Shaoyang's young boy's family to old doctor Liang were all in Li Sanniang's hands at this moment.

"Aniang, here?" Li Sanniang held up several gift lists in her hand, and looked at Li's mother very puzzled, "Why are you here?" (End of this chapter)
