Little lucky girl from the peasant family: Queen Splendid

Chapter 540 New Year's Eve
So, this time, the family members of Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Zhao were boarded in the fleet again, causing them both to go to the rooftop and look at the seaside all day long.

Ding Wei also wanted to see how the children of the two families were doing. After all, they were brothers and sisters of Brother Yue and Qinger, and they would be the best right-hand men when they grew up.

Now, An Ge'er is surrounded by the eldest child as guards, and the second child is accompanying him to study. The Wang family brothers also look good.After making arrangements for Brother Yue and Qing'er, she will feel more at ease...

After seeing off Mrs. Dong, having lunch, Chen Dalu came to announce the good news again in the afternoon.

Having received a reward earlier, he had tasted all the glory, and it was as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and he worked hard to study the memory of the glass.

Hard work pays off, and the real person let him figure out a glass plate that is more transparent, smoother, and bigger.

Ding Wei was very happy, and after sending Chen Dalu away, someone called Ding Lao Er to come back to help.

The siblings worked all afternoon, and a full-length mirror inlaid with carved wood lace took shape.

Ding Lao Er looked at his full body image in the mirror, and he didn't close his mouth for a while, before finally saying dryly, "It took most of my life to know what I look like."

Ding Wei was amused, and was also moved by the mirror for arranging her dress and hair.It has been several years since I came to this time and space, and I have only seen my own appearance clearly.

The siblings stared at the mirror curiously for a while, then found a curtain and slowly covered the mirror.

Not to mention how busy Ding Lao Er is like an ant before the rain, rushing to make makeup boxes and mirror frames, but Ding Wei took a few angelicas to start the year-end accounting, preparing to distribute New Year's goods and rewards, and also wished to be promoted.

It was a busy time, and the fleet finally returned.

The white lady and sister-in-law Zhao rushed to report, holding back their tears, and Ding Wei immediately allowed them to go to the beach to pick them up.

It happened to be just after lunch and before the workshop started work, there were hundreds of people gathered on the pier by the sea.

A small number of people are curious about what good new year goods the fleet has brought, while most of them are looking forward to letters or packages from home.However, surprises always come quietly.

A young craftsman suddenly jumped up and shouted to the boat, "Dad, Dad, why are you here?"

The old man on the boat also waved vigorously, "Hold on, dad is here!"

After seeing each other for a long time, the father and son were crying with excitement, causing people on and off the boat to make way for them.

The young craftsman helped his father get off the boat, and thanked everyone while wiping his eyes.

Everyone was envious and said with a smile, "Hurry up and take your father home, and let your father see how good our island is."

Before finishing speaking, someone shouted again, "Oh, mother!"

There was also a shout, "Huiniang, why are you here!"

With these calls, the pier became more and more lively.It turned out that this time, the fleet took many people to visit their relatives. There were a hundred and ten people on board, and naturally there were a hundred and ten families who were overjoyed.

Sister-in-law Zhao and Mrs. Bai almost shed tears when they saw that other families were reunited, but they did not see their husband-in-law and children.

Afterwards, Dang Gui, who came to hand over the warehouse, comforted them, "Don't worry, people must have come, maybe it's polite to let others get off the boat first."

Sure enough, the clever Manager Liu happened to get off the boat, and upon hearing this, he said, "The elder brothers of the two sisters-in-law's family are very powerful. They have helped me a lot along the way, and they are now counting accounts. I invite them to come down first." , all refused. I had no choice but to come first and apologize to my sister-in-laws!"

After hearing this, Dang Gui glanced at Manager Liu, and said with a smile, "Madam is worried that there is no one to help in the new city, but now there are people."

Sure enough, Manager Xiao Liu smiled even brighter.

Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Bai couldn't be more excited when they heard this. Although they knew that their man was quite capable, it was a great honor to be able to be a steward when they came to the island, and it was also the heart of the master.

Soon, the crowd who picked up their loved ones and packages dispersed.

The boatmen were also busy unloading the cargo, and Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Bai's husband finally came down with their children.

The children of the two families are about the same age, less than two years old, otherwise they would not have been chosen to be nurses for Brother Yue and Qing'er at the same time.

The steward of Zhao's family is a tall, thin, white-faced man with a bookish air, and he looks like he has something in his stomach.

The white lady's man is surnamed Chen. He is short and fat, with dark skin and a smiling face. He looks simple and honest, but the occasional flashes of light in his eyes are not to be underestimated.

After parting for a long time, the two families were very excited and couldn't help but cry a few times.

But Dang Gui and Manager Xiao Liu persuaded him, and soon wiped away his tears and went to the stone castle to kowtow to the master.

The Zhao family and the Chen family are both old people in the secret camp of Jinzi, and Gong Zhiming trusts them very much, otherwise they would not have given their children to their daughters-in-law.

Therefore, Ding Wei didn't have any doubts about the two of them, and very kindly helped them up.

"It's been a long journey for you to bring your children. It's really hard. Let's take a good rest first and get used to the weather and customs of the island. But I really lack trustworthy patience around me, so in a few days, I will arrange for you to go to the new city It's over there."

"The trust of the master is the honor of the slaves."

Chen Guanshi and Zhao Guanshi directly knelt down again. Originally, they were worried that their wives would not know how hard they were on the island. Now they saw that their wives were not only well-fed, but also dressed better than those at home. So I am even more grateful, almost heartfelt allegiance.

"Building a new city is a big deal. On the boat, I heard steward Liu say that the rainy season will come in March, and the time is tight. Why don't Brother Chen and I go to work tomorrow."

Guanshi Zhao is indeed a capable person, and he almost inquired about the island's affairs while still on the boat.The priorities are very clear.

Chen Guanshi smiled and glanced at his daughter-in-law, and responded, "Now that we are on the island, there is no rush for everything, it is important to share the worries with the master first. Tomorrow, I will go to the new city with Big Brother Zhao!"

Sister-in-law Zhao and Mrs. Bai were naturally reluctant to part with each other, but the man had already made up his mind, so it was not easy for them to refute.

Ding Wei nodded with a smile, "Then starting tomorrow, I will work hard for you. Today, Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Bai don't have to wait in front of me, and go back to the family to have a good reunion. If there is anything missing, feel free to tell Angelica."

"Mrs. Xie."

Both families kowtowed and went down to rest and talk.

Ding Wei was left behind to ask Steward Xiao Liu, "Is it safe on the road?"

"Thanks to Madam, the journey was safe and sound. The Chu family in Kyoto and the Chu family in Quanzhou all sent New Year's gifts. The servant has already had people pack the boxes and deliver them right away."

Manager Xiao Liu was also neat and tidy. After reporting one by one, he took out the letters and gift lists from the capital.

Ding Wei didn't look at it right away, but smiled and said, "I'm afraid the fleet will be busy this time. It only takes two days to load the ship and then return directly. Some things need to be sent to Kyoto as soon as possible!"

"But what's new on the island?" Steward Liu guessed it almost immediately, "Ma'am, you don't know, the things on our island are selling very well now. I heard that Haiyun Pavilion in Jingdu The shelves are empty, as long as the goods are placed on the shelves, they will be sold out immediately."

Dang Gui was pleased and amused when he heard it, and said, "Guan Liu is really good at things, and the master has thought about something good, but it's a pity that we haven't even seen it."

"Don't worry, you will all know when the ship is shipped the next day."

Ding Wei waved the crowd away, and began to sort out the gift list.

Needless to say, the Fang family's annual gift is the most affordable and heavy one.Almost all the good things in Kyoto, such as food, drink and clothing, were brought here by the Fang family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.Among other things, there are dozens of brocades in popular designs and colors.

In addition to the jewelry that Manager Xiao Liu helped to buy, it was enough for the old and young girls in my family to celebrate the New Year happily and beautifully.

The old lady of the Chu family also made a lot of fuss, sending over a dozen boxes.

Dong's family also had new year gifts, but most of them were for Dong's, big and small, revealing the mother's concern and love for her daughter.

Ding Wei looked envious and sad, and quickly asked Dang Gui to send it to Mrs. Dong.

The last gift list, unexpectedly, belonged to Qin Rui.

A set of ruby ​​jewelry, six bolts of brocade, and some knick-knacks from Kyoto that children love.

It can't be said to be expensive, but it is also careful enough, just like what an ordinary brother prepares for his sister and nephew.

Ding Wei looked at it for a while, but didn't speak.

Dang Gui was writing a return gift with a list. It was originally planned, but because of the need to add a mysterious new item, he took it out again.

Now that Qin Rui suddenly has an extra share, and with such a special status, I don't know what to do.

Ding Wei reached out to pick up the pen and ink, and scribbled on the list for half a page before ordering, "Prepare according to the list."

Dang Gui took a quick glance, and saw that nothing on the list was valuable, there were a few snacks, a box of high-quality pencils, a glass bead curtain, and a "mirror".

"Master, what is this 'mirror'?"

"Oh, I forgot about this. Come and pick it up the day after tomorrow."

"Yes, master."

Seeing that the master was not in high spirits, Dang Gui quickly accepted the gift list and changed the subject.

"I see that Guanshi Zhao and Guanshi Chen are good people. With their help in the future, I don't need to worry about Xincheng. Master Bao and Eldest Young Master can also suffer less!"

"Boy, it takes a lot of beatings to become a talent. If they go to the construction site as usual, don't stop them. But it's better to stay at home for a few more days during the Chinese New Year. In addition, the Chinese New Year's profits will start to be distributed. Don't keep the rewards. Maybe everyone wants to let the fleet carry things home and send them out as soon as possible, so the housewives can make arrangements."

"Yes, master."

If there is an order from above, follow it from below.

Ding Wei said something here, but she was too busy going up and down the stone castle.

Countless pieces of cloth, silver, all kinds of items, and even jewelry were shipped out of the warehouse like flowing water, and then distributed to various workshops and construction sites in the new city.

Because each person's annual gift is purchased according to the standard of five taels, the master usually buys a new cloth, a jade pipe, a bag of high-quality tobacco, two snacks, two sugar crystals, two altars of old wine, and other gifts. Silver rewards were awarded according to grades.
