The Yang brothers and sisters are very busy as the Chinese New Year is approaching.
It was impossible to send people away at this time. After all, there was heavy snow outside and the roads were blocked. Every morning when I got up, I had to go outside and shovel the snow all morning before the roads outside could pass.
Yang Jinwen didn't expect that the snow in the capital city could be so heavy in winter. Nowadays, carriages don't dare to go outside. Basically, the only people he encounters outside are sparse pedestrians. Many shops are closed because there is no business.
Yang Zhengsong also did not want his wife to move outside because of the heavy snow, so the study and the rouge shop were all closed, but the paper mill continued to operate.
All the empty space outside was covered with sheds and fire walls, so that the workshop could continue to produce when there was so much snow in winter.
The workshop that originally had only six people has now increased to sixteen, and produces several varieties of paper.
However, it is a bit difficult to dry paper in this weather, so we installed several fire walls in the house to keep everyone warm and to dry the paper.
Yang Xiuwen was free, but there was no way to send Luo Siyu away at this time. He could only let him stay a little longer and wait until the snow melted before leaving.
Luo Siyu was like a little sponge, absorbing any knowledge he was interested in, but he didn't have much time and he was still young, so he couldn't learn much. There were many things that couldn't be learned in a short time, just like
Medical skills are the same.
Yang Yuqing observed him for a long time, and felt that what he learned best was his mother's papermaking skills, and he did every step of the process carefully until he could make a finished product before he stopped.
Lu Qingshang did not hide his secrets, but saw that the child was interested and taught him personally.
What Yang Yuqing didn't know was that Ms. Lu Qingshang regarded the child Luo Siyu as another son, so when she heard that the child was interested in learning papermaking, she personally taught him.
"Daughter, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, you guys should think about what New Year's goods to buy. I've been a little confused lately, and I've made my head go blank because of carrying your father. I'll leave the goods at home to you two!"
Lu Qingshang has been confused by her man recently. The old man heard somewhere before that there is a kind of ink fragrance that can be put on paper, so he has been thinking about how to get this kind of scentless ink on paper.
"Mom! I don't even know what to buy for the New Year? Aren't you making things difficult for us?" Yang Yuqing felt a little dizzy when she thought of the goods her mother bought before. She still had to make an order for her, and then she bought them accordingly.
That’s fine, it doesn’t take too much thought.
"You will be eleven years old after the Chinese New Year. It's time for you and your sister to learn these things. I can't be by your side all the time." Lu Qingshang felt that it was time for her two daughters to learn these things.
.
The two little girls are already good at cooking, embroidering, and settling accounts. All they need to do now is some etiquette and etiquette. Now is a good opportunity to train them.
"Isn't it? It's still a long time before I get married, why are you learning so early? I should learn it, but I don't want to learn it." Yang Yuqing was too lazy to move or use her brain.
Yang Yuqing really doesn't want to learn about those relationships between people. Since ancient times, relationships between people have been the most complicated thing. You can't learn it no matter how you try?
"No, don't learn. Before your sister-in-law and relatives, this matter will be left to you, including every festival in the future, it will be handled by you two sisters." Lu Qingshang made the decision directly and left. This bastard is so
I'm lazy, I really don't know if I can get married in the future.
"Sister-in-law, where are you?" Yang Yuqing thought her brother had a partner, and happily prepared to shirk the responsibility.
As soon as Yang Jinwen entered the house, he heard his sister asking where his sister-in-law was. He was a little confused himself. Why didn't he know that he had a partner?
"What?"
"You said that my sister and I will handle the holiday favors and gifts. When my sister-in-law comes in, we won't need to do this. I just want to ask where my sister-in-law is? Can I get married as soon as possible?" Yang Yuqing
He looked at his elder brother eagerly, waiting for his explanation.
"Uh, it's a huge crowd, and I don't know where it is?" Yang Jinwen felt that his sister was probably deceived by his mother, but he would not take action and would just help his sister.
The two younger sisters in the family are relatively worry-free, and the eldest sister is about to get married, so she still needs to learn more. Now, ladies should learn the things that everyone should learn, so that others will not use these to find fault with them in the future.
Yang Jinwen is paving the way for his sister to become the queen step by step. Although he doesn't want his sister to enter the palace, he has no choice. His sister likes the child and she can't do it without entering the palace.
After entering the palace, there were many rules. He had to help his sister find a teacher to teach them. No matter what, he couldn't let others make mistakes in etiquette.
In terms of money, he had previously checked the dowries of the previous queens, and found that a dowry of one hundred and sixty-eight dollars was the highest standard.
I also specifically asked what was in these 168 loads. Clothes and bedding for all seasons would cost at least 4 loads, as well as some gold and silver jewelry. It is expected that the ornaments would cost at least 60 loads, and then there would be the dowry box and dowry.
There are beds, wardrobes, and some furniture and so on. The total amount of the house needs to be lifted by more than ten people.
There are also some ornaments, house deeds, and money in boxes, all pieced together here and there, adding up to one hundred and sixty-eight tons.
Yang Jinwen was very useful. He found a dowry list similar to that of the housekeeper's wife. After looking at it carefully, it turned out that the one hundred and sixty-eight tons actually contained a lot of water. There was also a bucket for measuring grain, and the dowry list was behind it.
There will also be some food.
At first, they didn't know what the dowry grains meant. Later, when they were pouring wine and tea in the teahouse, they heard other people chatting and found out that the grains belonged to their family and would be used as food for the girl they wanted to marry in the future.
The more you give, the more your mother-in-law's family values the girl. They have prepared all the knowledge and money the girl will need in the future, so that their girl can straighten a plate without looking at her husband's family's face.
Because they don’t need to be raised.
This is the first time Yang Jinwen has heard of the food included in dowry, does this actually mean it?
So after learning this useful information, he found a notebook and wrote it all down. This would be convenient for him to buy dowries for his two sisters in the future. After all, his parents may not be reliable, so he still needs to make preparations.
.
Yang Yuqing choked for a moment at what her elder brother said. Now she figured it out. She was really tricked by my mother, but the culprit was already gone. She didn't even know where to look for her now.
My parents seem to have found something interesting recently. They leave early and come back late every day. It is difficult to find a word with these two people.
