Chapter 194 New Year's Plan

In March and April, a batch of crucian carp can be harvested from our own fish ponds. We should plan ahead for the fish that can be harvested. Fish rarely appear on the menu of the Imperial College. It is estimated that fish with thorns are not very popular in the Imperial College. After all, they are troublesome to eat and are easy to get stuck with thorns.

If I can only sell the fish in small quantities, will I not be able to sell them all? After all, my fish pond is quite large and I have a lot of fish.

If I can't sell all the fish, I can make salted fish. After all, the best season for salting fish is winter, and the fish fry are harvested after winter. Forget it, I'll see when the time comes. There will always be a way.

By the way, the most important thing at the beginning of the year is to visit the Imperial College's dining hall more often, especially classes A, B, and C. Now the dining hall of class D has been basically taken over by itself. As long as the delivery team does not make any mistakes, the food supply for class D will not be interrupted.

Dianzhuan, who is in charge of Classes A, B and C, has contacted Feng Dianzhuan several times and it seems that Feng Dianzhuan from Class A has loosened up and has some intentions. So let's go to Feng Dianzhuan, who is in charge of Class A, to have tea and chat before the New Year.

Hualei was thinking about making a fortune in the new year. Soon, the first day of the new year passed happily.

The second day of the Lunar New Year is the day when married daughters return to their parents' home.

Manju brought her husband back to the Marquis' Mansion, and Zhenzhu's engaged partner Jiang Yunqi also came to the Mansion with a New Year gift. In addition, because of the visit, her ideal husband Tang Yuancheng, who already lived in the Mansion, Rong Jin and her uncle Pei Jing'an set up a table in the front yard on behalf of the Mansion to entertain the three sons-in-law of the Marquis' Mansion.

After lunch, the girls gathered in Songhe Hall. Ruyi talked about the idea Hualei gave her. Manou said it was a good idea. After returning, she carefully sorted out the drawings given by Hualei, copied them carefully, and gave them to Ruyi. She also passed on the business experience Hualei taught her to Ruyi without reservation. When the sisters talked about Hualei, they were full of praise, especially when they heard Ruyi say that Hualei was willing to give recipes for roast duck and braised food, they admired Hualei's magnanimity even more.

Manju sighed, "The last few times I went back to the mansion, I always went directly to Qihua Courtyard to talk to Sister Hua after seeing my mother and grandmother. Today, Sister Hua is not in the mansion, and I feel uncomfortable."

Zhenzhu also nodded and said that in the past, whenever she missed Hualei, she would go directly to Qihuayuan to find her. But Hualei went back during the New Year and other holidays, and she really couldn't get used to it.

Mrs. Pei listened to what her granddaughters said and felt the same way. In the past, Hua Lei would come over every morning to eat breakfast with her, chat with her, and walk around the yard to help digestion. She had only been back to Qingyun Lane for a few days, and she felt a little uncomfortable.

Hua Lei, who was talked about by Ruyi sisters, has been living a carefree life these days. She doesn't need to go to the farm, nor does she need to worry about any business matters. She sleeps until she wakes up naturally every day, and then counts her money after waking up. She is in a really good mood.

Soon, it was the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. Rong Jin of the Marquis' Mansion and his uncle Pei Jing'an once again set up a banquet in the front yard of the Marquis' Mansion to entertain guests. The guests who came today were two brothers from Madam Han's family.

Because Rong Jin's aunt-in-law interfered with Zhenzhu's marriage, Mrs. Pei sent the children of the second branch of the Han family back home. Although the second branch of the Han family asked to see Mrs. Pei several times, they were never able to do so.

So this New Year, he prepared generous gifts and went to visit Old Madam Pei, hoping that after the new year, his children could go back to the clan school in the Marquis' Mansion to study. Even if the clan school had moved out of the Marquis' Mansion, if they could go back to the clan school, they could save a lot of tuition fees.

Rong Jin's aunt wanted to marry Han Qingge to Rong Jin. Although she heard her daughter mention it last time, Rong Jin said that he didn't like her. However, a child doesn't know what likes and dislikes are. The marriage of the children still needs to be handled by the parents, herself and the father of the child. The so-called parents' orders and matchmaker's words are reflected here.

Moreover, after hearing what her daughter said, she and her child's father also went out to look for several young men, but those with good family background and good looks were not favored by others, because they thought her family background was poor and Qingge was dark. As for those with poor family background, the couple also looked down on others, and all the fat, big-eared, and ugly merchants dared to ask for the marriage of their official daughter.

After looking around, Pei Rongjin from the Marquis' Mansion is the best. He has a good family background, good family experience, and good looks. He will be a promising person in the future. At the worst, he can be a third-rank marquis.

So they were still unwilling to give up Rong Jin, and they made careful arrangements this time, and dressed Han Qingge up beautifully and brought her to the Marquis' Mansion. The two brothers of the Han family had their own plans for the New Year's greetings, so the gifts were carefully prepared and full of sincerity.

After the two brothers paid their respects to Madam Pei and presented her with generous gifts, they followed Rong Jin and Master Pei Liu to the front yard to drink tea and chat. The remaining female members stayed in Songhe Hall to talk and do business with Madam Pei.

At this time, Han Qingge's mother, Lin, took a tray from the maid behind her. On it was a set of dark red undergarments, shoes, socks, and headbands. She smiled and said, "Madam, this is what Qingge made for you before the New Year. Take a look. Is it suitable?"

As she spoke, Han Qingge, who was dressed like a peacock, had already walked lightly behind her and brought the clothes she had made to Old Madam Pei. She knelt on her knees and said shyly, "Grandma, let me try your shoes on to see if they fit." As she spoke, she put down the tray and reached out to help Old Madam Pei take off her shoes.

Madam Pei was startled, and instinctively pulled her feet back, shirking her responsibility, "Han girl, there's no need to do this. You've already paid your New Year's greetings. Hurry up and sit down to talk."

You should know that only in the first year after getting married will a new bride make shoes, socks and clothes for the elders of her husband's family and try on shoes for them. This is to show respect and to show her exquisite needlework.

The next time I gave gifts was the day after the wedding, I gave my husband's elders handmade clothes and shoes and socks. During the New Year holidays, I would make headbands and purses for the elders, but I would not make shoes or clothes.

Han Qingge was making clothes and shoes, and she even knelt on the ground to let Old Madam Pei try them on. This action made Old Madam Pei very upset. She looked at Madam Han who was sitting at the bottom, but she lowered her head, holding a teacup, and said nothing, which obviously meant that she agreed.

Ruyi and Zhenzhu who were sitting next to them were also stunned by Han Qingge's actions. Ruyi, who has been married for more than four years, must know what this means, right?

Pearl just experienced this yesterday.
