"The princess is also here to buy new year's goods today?"
Pei Zichuan asked with a smile.
Lin Jiao came back yesterday and someone had sent news to Pei Zichuan. However, since she left Liangzhou, Jing Nuan had been using her identity to replace her, so Lin Jiao's return did not alarm anyone.
"Yeah, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, I'll take them out for a walk."
Lin Jiao said with a smile.
Pei Zichuan nodded and looked towards the lively Liangzhou.
"Liangzhou is really lively today. I haven't seen such a lively scene for a long time. Everyone's faces are no longer frightened and uneasy, and they are all filled with smiles and happiness. This is the lively atmosphere that the world should have."
.”
Pei Zichuan said.
"Yes, I hope that people all over the world can live such a lively and stable life." Lin Jiao also said.
"I will." Pei Zichuan said seriously, "I will definitely do it."
On this day, Lin Jiao bought a lot of things. Some of them were taken back by Xuanfeng, while some were thrown directly into the space when no one could see them.
At noon, none of them went home. They found a restaurant to have lunch, and then started shopping again.
When I returned in the evening, a whole carriage's worth of things had been loaded.
Luoluo is the happiest today because her sister-in-law bought her everything she wanted.
Lin Jiao also asked people to take out all the good fabrics from the warehouse and make new clothes for Luoluo, Jiang, and Yueniang.
She needed to wear new clothes during the Chinese New Year. She chose two sets for herself and two sets for Pei Yuan.
The styles of her and Pei Yuan's clothes were drawn by herself. They are couple outfits. I believe Pei Yuan will like them.
After having dinner at Jiang's place, Lin Jiao went back.
In the evening, when Jingnuan went to rest, Lin Jiao quickly entered the space.
She put all the things she bought during the day in the living room of the bamboo house. When Lin Jiao entered, she saw Pei Yuan looking at the Spring Festival couplets she bought.
When he saw Lin Jiao coming in, he smiled and waved to her.
"Madam, you should let me write the Spring Festival couplets."
Pei Yuan smiled and said: "What I wrote is definitely better than what he wrote."
This person's handwriting is not as good as his.
"That's not easy."
Lin Jiao ran to the pile of things and searched around, and quickly took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone she bought. She also bought red paper today, planning to use it to cut window grilles.
Now is the time for Pei Yuan to write Spring Festival couplets.
Lin Jiao helped Pei Yuan grind the ink and added gold foil to the ink.
“Why add gold leaf?”
Pei Yuan looked at Lin Jiao in confusion.
Lin Jiao smiled and said: "The words written like this are glittering and look grand and wealthy, isn't it good?"
Pei Yuan: "..."
Don't think that he doesn't know that this woman just wants to seek good luck so that she can make a lot of money next year.
"Mr. Sir, please write quickly."
Lin Jiao urged Pei Yuan, why is this man so stubborn?
Pei Yuan had no choice but to start writing couplets.
In order to cater to Lin Jiao's preferences, his couplets all contained auspicious words related to making money.
Lin Jiao was indeed very satisfied. She hugged him and kissed him, "My husband, you are so amazing. I love you to death."
Lin Jiao collected the dried Spring Festival couplets and put them aside. When she was twenty-nine, she took them out and pasted them on them.
"What are these?"
In the past, the conditions at home were not good, so he didn't buy many things during the New Year. Now that Pei Yuan was alone in the military camp, he didn't know how to do anything during the New Year. It was already good to have a better meal.
So now Pei Yuan has a headache when he sees Lin Jiao buying such a bunch of things.
Because he doesn't know what these things are used for?
"This is for making lanterns. I plan to make the lanterns for the bamboo house myself, and this... this is for cutting window grilles.
These……"
Lin Jiao introduced to Pei Yuan one by one the uses of the things she bought, and Pei Yuan listened very carefully.
Pei Yuan never thought that he would have to prepare so many things for the New Year.
"These are just for decorating the house. In fact, there are many things to prepare for the New Year. It is precisely because of this that the New Year is particularly lively."
Lin Jiao took out a piece of halva from the oil paper bag on the side and fed it to Pei Yuan, "During the Chinese New Year, people in my hometown will eat dumplings.
Can we also eat dumplings this year?"
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Pei Yuan naturally had no objections. Although he was curious about Lin Jiao's hometown, Lin Jiao didn't elaborate, so he didn't ask.
As long as his wife doesn't leave him, that's fine.
Pei Yuan is not busy tonight and has been staying with Lin Jiao in the space.
Lin Jiao packed up the things she bought during the day and took out a pile of silver and banknotes.
"What is this going to do?" Pei Yuan asked.
"Pack a red envelope."
Lin Jiao said while wrapping red envelopes: "Uncle Liu and the others have worked hard for a year. I plan to give each of them an extra red envelope so that everyone can celebrate the New Year happily."
"There are so many people in the house, why do you have to do it yourself? Just let them do it." Pei Yuan was afraid that Lin Jiao would be tired.
Lin Jiao will not feel tired. She is happy to do things like giving red envelopes.
"I asked Jing Nuan to get the red envelopes for the servants, but for Uncle Liu, Wang Chen and Xuanfeng Xuanwu, I want to do it myself."
After Lin Jiao finished speaking, she looked up at Pei Yuan.
"My husband, you don't need to do this. You only need to prepare red envelopes for me. I have prepared red envelopes for my mother, Luoluo, Xiaoyan and Jinyu."
It's Chinese New Year, just to be happy and auspicious.
"Okay, I will give you the biggest red envelope then."
Pei Yuan smiled and pinched Lin Jiao's nose, sat next to her and wrapped red envelopes with her.
…
The next day.
After breakfast, people in the mansion started busy cleaning.
This year, Pei Yuan was at the border and could not come back, but many gift-givers came, and Lin Jiao had to come out to deal with them.
For two days in a row, the threshold of Prince Zhan's Mansion was almost leveled.
After Lin Jiao accepted the gift, she also wanted to give gifts in return.
Lin Jiao left some unimportant matters to Uncle Liu, so she was almost too busy to get away.
In a blink of an eye, the day of twenty-nine has arrived.
Early in the morning, Lin Jiao took Jing Nuan, Xuan Feng and Uncle Liu to put up the Spring Festival couplets and window grilles at home, and hung up all the red lanterns.
The house is full of festive New Year atmosphere.
After everything in the house was ready, Lin Jiao took everyone to Jiang's place and arranged it properly.
We definitely have to have New Year’s Eve dinner together during the Chinese New Year.
So starting from the 29th, Lin Jiao lived with the Jiang family.
Nearing the former residence of Prince Liang, Uncle Liu left a few servants to guard the house, while the rest of the people came to Jiang's side.
During the Chinese New Year, everyone should be together and lively.
After finally being busy until the evening, Lin Jiao went back to her yard and entered the space after having dinner.
She originally wanted to come in and put up Spring Festival couplets, but when she came in she saw the Spring Festival couplets on the bamboo house and the window grilles had already been put up.
