The wood and style of the box itself are not important. If you really go out to bring some money, it is very hidden.Mu Ai restored the box to its original state, and saw that the upper and lower wood grains of the horizontal grains could match, and she was very impressed, what a clever idea.

She has space on her body, so of course she won't need such a box, but if Simba goes out or gets married in the future, give them some spare silver, which will be very useful at critical moments.

At the moment, happily put the old makeup box into the space.Putting on a padded jacket and going out, he first raised his eyes to a dark shadow in the corner of his eyes, and nodded slightly. There was a hidden stake that Kong Xi and Ouyang decided to arrange together, and there were people guarding it every night.In fact, she wanted to say that with her sensitive facial features and ordinary people, she could hear the slightest movement in the front yard, so there was no need to waste manpower so much, but she hesitated for a while and still didn't say it. Just bigger.

A few steps into the east courtyard.A candle was lit at the table in the small hall, Shuan Shuan was writing big characters, and Miao Miao was doing arithmetic problems. By the way, I would like to guide Ruyi who was still wandering about adding and subtracting within ten. When they saw his wife come in, Ruyi and Miao Miao quickly collected things. After pouring tea and refreshments for her, Shuan Shuan also smiled and asked her sister why she came.

Mu Ai took her big characters, she looked much better than before, she obviously put in some effort, so she said with a smile that she was here to return her New Year gift, which made the little girl look at her eagerly.

Mu Ai smiled softly, pulled her to sit next to her, took out a makeup box with the pattern of dancing flowers and butterflies and pushed it in front of her, watching her excitedly playing with it, she felt amused, the little girl liked her mirror for a long time, I just thought my sister only had this piece, so I was too embarrassed to ask for it.

Every time I see her in her room, I have to secretly take pictures for a while.Now there is a mirror on this exquisite makeup box, how could she not love it, she repeatedly called Xiao Miao and Ruyi to come and see it, the three little girls chirped and chatted for a while, and then Muai handed over another small and exquisite set It was only when she came over with her gold jewelry that she remembered that her sister was still here.

Shuan Shuan jumped on her sister's lap like she did when she was a child, and hugged her neck to act like a baby. Unfortunately, she grew a lot taller, and after a while, the wood ai was crushed so that her legs hurt, so she had no choice but to let her down and asked her to change the makeup box by herself. jewelry.Mu Ai looked at the envy in the eyes of the two little girls, took out two butterfly silver hairpins to reward them, and said a few words to take good care of the young lady, the two little girls answered solemnly, and then beamed with joy. Kowtow to thank you, and then took it with both hands.

Mu Ai instructed Shuan Shuan to fasten the concealed button of the makeup box on weekdays, so that no outsiders could see it. After listening to her, she agreed with joy, and then went out to return to the room, removed the temples, removed the jewelry, and changed the suit. Neat and convenient clothes, go out and continue practicing flying needle.It wasn't until dawn that I returned to the house exhausted. I struggled to do a simple wash, then hugged Simba's chubby body, sighed in my heart that another year would pass, and then fell asleep in a daze.

At the beginning of the new year's Eve, Guo Huai led Ada and the others to quickly clear the thin snow in the courtyard, and burned two bundles of rattan branches outside the gate.Speaking of this branch, it is a unique plant in this time and space. In autumn, there will be hollow joints in the middle of the branch, and when it is burned with fire, it will make an ordinary "ping-pong" sound, which is far more environmentally friendly and safer than modern firecrackers. many.

Sitting in front of the dressing table, Mu Ai watched Chun Equinox tie her hair, inserted a cloud-footed pearl tendril hairpin, and put on emerald drop pearl earrings.She changed into a brocade jacket with ruyi cloud pattern, and a blue butterfly skirt with lily branches. Finally, she simply put on pearl bracelets on her wrists. She didn't rub any rouge and gouache on her face, but it made her eyes look like autumn water and her eyebrows like water. distant mountains.The whole person stood there, as long as he smiled slightly, Chun Equinox suddenly remembered the eight characters he read in the book a few days ago, beautiful and graceful, as elegant as a fairy.

Simba also changed into a purple brocade jacket and trousers, with a red headband tied around his sky braid, a golden longevity lock around his neck, and a magpie-dengmei purse tied around his waist, which contained candies specially approved by his mother, served with a white The fat little face is as cute as a ginseng doll.

Sitting upright at the table, Mu Ai accepted the kneeling ceremony of the four servant girls in spring, summer, autumn and winter, handed over their silver rewards to them respectively, and then entered the hall while talking with Simba.

The Spring Equinox and the others happily carried the prepared things and followed. When Shuan Shuan also changed into a silver-red dress and came over, the Spring Equinox opened the door, and Guo Huai led all the servants in the house to kowtow to the mistress one by one. .

Every time the spring equinox called out a person's name and the amount of reward, the autumn equinox would find it in the box and hand it over. No one thought that his wife was so kind, even Mu Qi and others who had just entered the mansion for three months had a reward of five taels of silver.

Except for the embarrassing expressions on the faces of Guo Huai and his wife, one of them is the big housekeeper and the other is the big kitchen steward, but they were rewarded with money because of their mistakes. It is inevitable to be a little embarrassing at such a moment.

Of course Mu Ai saw it all, and waited until the vernal equinox had finished distributing the reward silver, and motioned for everyone to calm down, and then said, "Everyone has worked hard this year to support this Muxian mansion with me. I believe in The principle is that meritorious deeds must be rewarded, and demerits must be punished. The rewards in everyone's hands are yours. In addition to these routine rewards, there are a few people I want to reward, first of all, Guo Steward and his wife. Steward Guo has devoted himself to managing the affairs of the house this year. Whether it is the daily purchases in the house or the crops in the field, there has been no mistake. Therefore, this special reward is 20 taels of silver plus a piece of brocade. Aunt Guo is in charge of the house. In the kitchen, I get up early and stay late, and work hard for everyone's meals, and I will reward you with 20 taels of silver and a gold hairpin."

Guo Huai and his wife were fined silver rewards last time, and they were always worried that they would not be able to convince the public in the future.At this time, they never expected that Madam would re-establish their positions with this most respectable reward, which means that Madam still trusts them. Kneeling down to thank you for wiping two handfuls indiscriminately, his throat was still so choked that he couldn't speak.Mu Ai got up and personally helped the couple up, smiling and letting Xiao An accompany him to calm down.

Then he went on to say, "The next one is Wen Bo, the elder of our mansion. As the saying goes, an old family is like a treasure. The crops and fertilizers in the field this year are all prepared according to Wen Bo's years of farming experience. It has ensured a bumper harvest in autumn. Therefore, a set of brocade cotton coats with the Wenbo swastika pattern is specially rewarded as a token of appreciation.”

Wen Bo held the padded jacket with gold patterns high in his excited hands, put his elbows on the ground, and kowtowed to his wife to thank him, with tears running down his face.He is a 60-year-old man who fled to the north to make a living. His wife bought him back, not only did not dislike his old age and inability to work, but also rewarded him because he could retting a few piles of manure. How could he not be very grateful.

Mu Ai helped others with a smile as before, and then admired the breeze and bright moon that took care of the bee farm. Each of them had a very small jar of honey. The two boys kowtowed their heads and secretly opened the lid and wiped some into their mouths. They were raising bees and throwing honey for several months. Knowing that this thing is precious, they didn't even dare to taste it. Unexpectedly, Madam rewarded it today.

After that, Ada Ermu Mikisi lived in a small room and looked at the vegetable fields and chickens and pigs. Mu Ai rewarded Ahda Aher with two grilled chickens, and Mu Mimusi gave him two smoked elbows, both of which were hers. Made it myself in the kitchen yesterday.All four of them kowtowed, and hugged him cheerfully.Mu Wu Mu Mu Liu looked at each other, the two of them have been running errands with Guo Steward to do chores, and they were not solely responsible for a share, guessing in their hearts that they would not be rewarded, they couldn't help feeling a little regretful and frustrated.Unexpectedly, the wife said that the two of them had worked hard, and rewarded them with two pairs of sheepskin boots. They were as happy as if they had picked up gold.

Ouyang stood behind the crowd, clutching the snow-pressed green pine purse he just got, which contained 30 taels of silver, and seeing all the people who entered the mansion at the same time go up to receive special rewards, his heart suddenly started to go crazy. I jumped up, with a hint of expectation and a hint of guilt...

After Mu Ai handed out the last prize, she just wanted to say a few words of encouragement and let everyone disperse. However, when she caught sight of Ouyang in the corner from the corner of her eyes, her heart suddenly tightened, and she complained secretly. His credit for protecting the whole house has been forgotten.

Immediately, he quickly searched in the space, and finally found a suitable object. He held it in his hand slightly sideways, and then said in a warm voice, "Guard Ouyang, guarding the safety of the whole house day and night, hereby... a Mingxin jug."

Mu Ai changed the reward into a gift. In her heart, Ouyang is more of a silent friend, using rewards to emphasize dignity and hurt feelings.She made up the name of the Mingxin jug on the spur of the moment. In fact, it is a stainless steel flat jug. She bought it specially for drinking to keep out the cold when she was climbing the mountain. Because she liked its small size and exquisiteness, she bought four at a time.Now it doesn't hurt to take out one as a reward.

Ouyang slowly walked forward along the path made by the crowd, took a deep look at Mu Ai, knelt down on one knee with a solemn face, took the jug passed by the vernal equinox with both hands, and said in a deep voice, "Mrs. gift."

Mu Ai helped him up with a smile, "There are two more things to tell everyone. Starting next year, our family will change the end-of-year reward silver to a monthly payment. The specific amount per person will be known after Guo Butler informs you." Yes. Besides, there are quite a few people in our mansion who have reached the age of marriage discussion. No matter if we marry a family member or marry a woman from outside, the mansion will spend 50 taels of silver to buy dowry gift, but But there is one condition, everyone who enters the mansion must sign a death contract, and if they violate the family rules, the whole family will sell them."

Old men like Ah Da, who are nearly 20 years old, grinned when they heard that their wife was getting married with money, but they were a little worried when they heard that they were going to sign a death contract, but then they threw it to the back of their minds. It's too early to worry if you don't have a crush.
