Chapter 205 Winter Chapter
Chapter 205 Winter Chapter
"What do you mean by simple? They are a wealthy family, they have everything they want. On the contrary, our new things are the most difficult to find. Mother forgot that we give them to the Han family every year, they like them very much."
She said she liked him, but how could she know the details? Maybe it was just a polite remark, but she couldn't tell for sure.
"This year, the holiday gift your uncle Han sent is much more substantial than before. How should we respond?"
"Return what he gives us. We won't take advantage of him."
"Mom knows."
"Madam, the festival gift from the Marquis' Mansion has arrived!"
The person who came was actually the butler.
"I pay my respects to the master and the lady, and to the young lady."
"Butler, please don't be too polite."
"This is a holiday gift from the Marquis and his wife to the master. He took out a large box and said, "This is a holiday gift from the prince to Mr. Lin and his wife."
After he finished speaking, he took out two boxes from inside, "This is the one that the prince gave to Miss, and this is for the two gentlemen."
The butler held up the box respectfully, and Lin Dashan took it. Wow, it's quite heavy.
"It's hard to travel in the snow, and I have to go back to the city to report. I'll take my leave first."
How could they leave without even eating after such a long journey? Lin Dashan quickly stopped them and asked the kitchen to cook a table of delicious food. After they had eaten their fill, he let them leave.
After drinking the hot soup, the housekeeper felt warm and straightened his back comfortably. "Thank you, Master Lin, for your kindness. It's getting late. We servants really have to go back to the city."
Lin Dashan gave each person a red envelope before letting them go.
Their holiday gifts have also been prepared, and the groups of people will leave one after another.
The wine, cloth, cakes and other things sent by the Marquis's Mansion have all been sent to the warehouse. In the room, there are all valuables.
Xiao Ran also gave Wang a set of jewelry, ruby-covered, which was obviously not cheap. Lin Dashan gave her a jade ring, white jade, warm to the touch.
The two little ones are the top-notch four treasures of the study. Xiaomi was happy to see this, and the two younger brothers will definitely like it when they see it.
"Look what yours is."
Lin Xiaomi opened it and found a small ornament made of red chalcedony, a Pixiu.
"Which deity is this?"
Wang looked at it, such a big gem, carved so delicately. It was red all over, so beautiful.
"Pixiu, it brings wealth."
Is Xiao Ran wishing her a prosperous business?
Lin Xiaomi decided to put it at the head of her bed in the hope of bringing better fortune.
The Marquis's Mansion also prepared jewelry, two sets for her and Wang, two jade pendants for the two children, and a jade ring for Lin Dashan.
Wang pointed to several large bundles in the middle of the room and said, "In addition to the cloth in the storehouse, the Marquis's Mansion also gave us some furs. I took a look and the fur is very good, but I don't know what animal the fur is from."
In recent years, she has only bought ready-made clothes. There are very few furs for sale in Pingyang City, and even in the capital, there are not many high-priced furs. Big animals are difficult to hunt, and if there are any, they are taken away directly.
Lin Xiaomi looked through it. The snow-white ones must be fox furs. They were completely white without any other colors. They were much better than the ones she had before. There were also some gray and dark gray furs that she didn't recognize. Some of them seemed to be wolf furs. Judging from the quantity, there was enough for everyone in their family. And there was a note in each bundle, so it was clear who it was for.
These furs are worth a lot of money. The gifts for each festival in the Marquis's Mansion are all big. How much money will be needed to support the social interactions after marriage and the four festivals a year. Do I have to ask my parents-in-law for money after marriage? No, this won't work! Since her family's life has improved, this is the first time she is worried about not having enough money to spend.
"The Marquis' Mansion is really too polite. With so many festival gifts, Xiaomi, won't what we give be too shabby?" Wang looked at her worriedly. What should she do if she is disliked by her mother-in-law before she even enters the house?
"No, they know our family's situation. They probably sent us these because they knew we had no way to get them. Just prepare some more New Year gifts."
"That's fine. Xiaomi, you'd better hurry up with your needlework. If you can make some clothes for your parents-in-law and Ran'er, they will be very happy."
Lin Xiaomi: ... "Mom, isn't it different when I cook?" She was really helpless. Why did she have to worry about her needlework?
Seeing that her daughter was unhappy, Wang automatically shut up.
Forget it, forget it. If she doesn’t like it, don’t force her. Just let the maid who comes with her dowry do it for her secretly.

"Master! This is the Lin family's return gift list." Liu bowed and saluted. After being treated coldly for half a year, she lost all her arrogance and became extremely docile in front of Han Yushan.
"Show me."
Han Yushan was extremely upset about his promotion of Lin Dashan. This man was ungrateful and distanced himself from him after he got into the Marquis's Mansion. He also opened a hot pot restaurant opposite his restaurant to compete with him for business.
But he couldn't get angry, and had to continue doing business with him in soap, oil skin, winter vegetables, etc. These days, he lived like a turtle grandson, feeling extremely depressed.
It was all Liu's fault. She was arrogant and proud, which irritated the women of the Lin family. In the past few months, no matter how they invited Wang and her daughter to the banquets they held, they never came. They were either not feeling well or had too many things to do at home. Her daughter was the same. She couldn't keep the prince at bay, and she couldn't keep a poor man at bay either.
Ever since the Lin family opened the hot pot restaurant, he has been suppressing his anger in his heart. Bullying is too much, it is really too much.
However, during the Winter Festival, he had to prepare generous gifts to send to the Lin family.
"Show me."
