The skilled widow is busy farming

Chapter 176
When the news spread, the Li family was overjoyed and hurriedly prepared gift boxes and various supplements to send over.

The three girls learned about it and thought about preparing some gifts for sister Yingzi and the child. Naturally, it was most suitable to make them by themselves. After the three of them discussed it, they made them separately. The stitching of the children's things should be fine, and the fabric should be fine cotton. Children's skin is delicate.

Satin ones are not suitable for children to wear as they are cold and uncomfortable, so fine cotton is most suitable.

It is best to wear a bright red festive color outside, which looks pleasing and auspicious.

After the discussion was completed, the three girls divided their work and started working on it.

Qing'er also sent a gift to Yingzi. Among the sisters in the capital, they are currently the closest, so naturally they can't let her down.

Yingzi relinquished the power of the housekeeper and could take care of her health. Madam Xie liked her more and more when she saw that she was not obsessed with power. She was well-informed about her advances and retreats. She specially had a small kitchen installed in her yard. Whenever she wanted to eat, the small kitchen was there. You can do it, you don’t need to ask yourself for instructions, it’s just for convenience.

Supplements were delivered to her yard at a low price.

Yingzi only cares about the pregnancy, but Qing'er is still cautious in the Lu family.

"Mom, my second aunt and the patriarch's grandfather have sent gifts. I'll have them divided and delivered to each house. Is there anything else you want to explain?"

Qing'er came over early in the morning to greet her and serve her mother-in-law.

"There's nothing else. I just want you to send me your dowry. How are your aunt and the elders?"

Mrs. Lu had a particularly good impression of Xiu Niang.

"My aunt is in good health, but she has gray hair. My sister-in-law's son was sent back to his hometown to be raised, which brought some joy to the elders. My aunt also gave me 5000 taels of silver notes. I thought about exchanging them for The gold bars are gone, but they won’t be needed for the time being.”

"Now that the court is stable and gold is expensive, it is not suitable to exchange for it. It is better to buy it as Zhuangzi."

Mrs. Lu loves Qing'er very much. She is generous and considerate in everything, and she is very quick, secure and thoughtful in doing things.

"My ex asked the third master, and he said that it would be easier to change it to gold bars, so should I buy it?"

Qing'er looked up at her mother-in-law, a little hesitant. In fact, Lu Jun said that she could do whatever she wanted.

"He knows nothing. Don't pay attention to him. Just listen to me and buy Zhuangzi. It's better for our family to buy Zhuangzi. If it's not available in the capital, go to a distant place to buy it. Live by sticking to Zhuangzi. The profit is not too much, but it is very stable. , not eye-catching, not arousing jealousy.”

"My aunt also bought a village for the clan in her hometown, but the progress of opening the shop has slowed down. It is also your consideration. It seems that I still have a lot to learn. My aunt said that I should listen to you and my grandmother more and not make my own decisions. I’m afraid I’m young and ignorant and might be fooled by others.”

Mrs. Lu's smile was visible to the naked eye, "Your second aunt is a talented person. We all think the same. Being too pushy is not necessarily a good thing. You have to take a step back and be tolerant in everything, otherwise it will not be beautiful if more enemies come out. This way Well, I'll ask the housekeeper to inquire about it for you, and if there's anything good, I can buy it for you as a Zhuangzi."

"Thank you, mother. I'll bring you the banknote later and you can make the decision for me."

Qing'er looked innocent.

Mrs. Lu was happy that her daughter-in-law trusted her, but she was also worried that she was too naive and didn't know how to guard against others.

He shook his head and said: "No, let Brother Jun do his work later and buy a house for him. If he doesn't do the work, who will do the work? He really can be lazy. Sooner or later, their brothers will separate their families. Now, they can take care of their daughter-in-law's dowry, and in the future." You don’t know what to think about when you buy an estate for your child, and I still have to worry about it for him.”

Mrs. Lu frowned and reprimanded her son. She really doesn't blame her daughter-in-law for this. The Lu family has strict rules and Qing'er is a good boy. She always comes and asks the elders about everything before she dares to do anything. This is Brother Jun's fault. He doesn't care. How could the daughter-in-law dare to take action? It makes people wonder what the Lu family's tone of abuse was like.

"Third Master is relying on you in my heart. I just asked you to ask for your instructions. I can do whatever you say. Besides, my elder brother and sister-in-law didn't treat us badly in the past. Just say sister-in-law. These days when I come in, my sister-in-law takes care of me. Afraid that I would be thin-skinned, I was asked to set up a small kitchen in the yard for cooking. I was also given money to deal with all the clothes for the four seasons and so on. They treated me very leniently and took good care of me."

"They are brothers, and they will rely on each other in the future. As a sister-in-law, you should also take care of you. You should respect your sister-in-law more, take a step back from outside, and give your sister-in-law some face."

"Yes." "Mom, my second aunt asked me to bring you a gift."

Only then did Qing'er present the gift given by Xiu Niang.

"What did she bring me? If not, I'll write to her next time."

Mrs. Lu teased with a smile. When she saw the seal on it, she smiled even more. When she opened the box, she saw that it was a beautiful tea set. The color was really beautiful. It was plain without flowers. It was all about the firing color.

"Oh, it's so beautiful. She knows I like this. This outfit is so beautiful for entertaining guests. I will write to her someday."

Mrs. Lu was immediately happy.

The things are not necessarily expensive, but there are none in the world. Xiu Niang paid for someone to open a furnace and bake them individually. She burned a batch of tea sets, vases, ornaments, etc. The colors are unique, and the patterns were drawn by herself. , specially used for giving as gifts, it is also beautiful and easy to use.

The lady in charge may not really like precious things, as it would be difficult to repay the gift. The close relationship makes people love even souvenirs. If you have a unique one that is not very expensive, but can highlight your feelings, it will show that we have a close relationship. There is a lot of knowledge here.

Qing'er stretched her head and took a look, "It doesn't have any tricks. The color is okay. Where did my aunt buy it? Why don't I have it?"

"Silly boy, she hired someone to bake this alone. It's a unique one and can't be seen on the market."

Mrs. Lu understood what she meant at a glance. This was for their wives to play with in their free time.

The literati picture is elegant and good-looking, and it is also very respectable when used to entertain guests. No wonder Mrs. Lu likes it, it hits the right chord.

"Oh, is there a big difference?"

Qing'er pretended not to understand and asked her mother-in-law for advice.

"I'll teach you to be a good boy. People like us can't be top-notch in everything. It will appear that you are different and want to be in the limelight. It's not good for others to talk about you. But you can't lag behind in everything. It means that the men in your family are incompetent and the literati are so elegant. You My aunt is a rare and elegant person, with literary talent and knowledge, and a wonderful person who knows how to advance and retreat. She is no less talented than you guys. We, as ladies, admire her in our hearts."

Mrs. Lu played with the tea bowl and continued: "She is doing it to give you face, and she is also giving me face. This kind of tea set is unique and not expensive, but others don't have it like me. It gives me face, and it also makes us look good." The family is pure and elegant, who can make the literati pure and elegant like this?"

"It turns out that's the case. There are so many skills. No wonder my aunt has taught me these since I was a child and asked me to learn to excel. It turns out that this is where I start."

Qing'er felt emotional and warm in her heart. My aunt had worked so hard for her. I miss her so much.

Mrs. Lu raised her head and saw Qing'er's dazed eyes, and her heart softened, "I miss your aunt. When the matter of Brother Jun's release is settled, I promise you to return to your hometown one month early to stay with your aunt. Also ask for me Good."

"Mother……"

Qing'er couldn't hold it back, tears fell down.

"Mom, thank you for loving your daughter-in-law. My aunt has gray hair, woo woo woo!"

Qing'er suddenly couldn't help crying.

"She is a hard-working person. If you go back and stay with her for a few more days, she will feel relieved that you are doing well. She has devoted her whole life to you brothers and sisters. I understand your heart."

"Mother, your daughter-in-law has troubled you."

Qing'er immediately knelt down and kowtowed.
