Chapter 888: Too Early to Be Happy!

mind her, "Funiu'er, remember to tell your big brother.""Don't worry, Father. I know what to do." Jiayin quickly nodded in agreement.Although Li Zhensheng and the others were full of questions, seeing...Last year, Jiayin made it clear to her whole family that she would no longer take any share of Baihuayuan's profits; instead, she would let them all go to her second uncle to help the family build momentum and accumulate strength.

First and foremost, the grand scale and renowned beauty of Baihuayuan are all thanks to the Second Uncle's dedicated efforts.

Besides, she had only planted a few flowers in the space at random. There weren't many, nor were there few.

Moreover, she enjoyed the protection of her home. She contributed by tending a few flowers, doing her part for the household, which was only right.

But the family didn't think so, and Second Uncle was unwilling to take his niece's silver.

So, the revenue from Hundred Garden, besides normal use, all remaining surplus will be converted into gemstone jewelry, clothing, etc., and returned to Jia Yin's small warehouse...

Days go by, one after another, at a leisurely pace.

Jia Yin was handling household chores in the village, preparing and distributing New Year's gifts, and she also attended this year's village bonus meeting.

Apart from finding time for herself, she also had to go into town to look after several shops and was busy with year-end accounts.

Fortunately, the village has the village head managing things, and on this side of the store, there's Gu Li Tong in charge, so it's not particularly busy.

One day, Jiayin only looked up and realized it was already the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, five days before the Lunar New Year.

She was thinking about going to the palace banquet and hurriedly called Shuiyun and Shuiling.

Today, I have no tasks. Can you help me choose my clothes and jewelry I'm going to the palace for a New Year's banquet.

"Your clothes don't have to be dazzling, but they shouldn't be embarrassing either."

Shui Yun couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Miss, the young ladies from other families would have started preparing their new year outfits a month in advance. You're only thinking about it now that the New Year is almost here, isn't that a bit too late"

Jia Yin slumped in her chair, holding a pear and munching on it nonchalantly. She waved her hand dismissively.

"The young ladies from other families, their lives were just eating and embroidering during the day.

"You guys don't even see how busy I am, wishing I had eight hands! There's no time to bother with such trivial matters!"

Water Ling handed the master a wet towel to wipe his hands and added her master's catchphrase.

"Yes, new dresses are nothing compared to making money. With money, you can have everything!"

Everyone started laughing along.

In the end, it was Granny Lin who stepped forward and said to her, "Miss, the Second Mistress sent two new sets of dresses the day before yesterday. They were personally sewn by the Second Mistress with her maidservant, saying they were prepared for the Miss to wear during Chinese New Year."

"Oh, I completely forgot about that." Jiayin patted her head and laughed, "It's great to have a sister-in-law! I don't have to worry about it, she's already prepared everything."

She then instructed everyone, "Remember to remind me to pick out a set of jewelry for my sister-in-law these two days. It'll add some festive cheer for the New Year."

Before anyone could respond, the Marquis arrived with the head steward of the Marquis's mansion.

The lord entered the courtyard first, but the head steward was calling to the servants, unloading eight large boxes in one go.

Soon, the boxes were moved into the living room, crammed in so tightly that there was no space left on the floor.

"Father, how come there are so many boxes Have you struck it rich" Jia Yin joked as she poured tea for the Marquis.

She didn't forget to ask the head steward to sit down and poured him a cup of tea as well.

Speaking of which, the head housekeeper has practically watched her grow up.

The Hou Mansion always sends the most delicious and entertaining things over first.

She also treats the head butler like a half-elder!

The chief steward nervously rose to his feet, hastily took it, and after bowing, sat down.

The Lord took a sip of hot tea, dispelling the chill from his body. "There are six boxes of clothing and accessories here, prepared by the steward for you."

"The other two boxes are some precious jade ornaments I brought back from outside. When you're free, sort them out. If you find any you like, you can keep them for your dowry later."

Six dress boxes

"Oh, what a pleasant surprise! I'm so delighted!"

"Just now I was still talking with Shuiling and the others about preparing our dresses for the palace banquet tonight, but my godfather has sent them! Now I don't have to worry at all!"

Nothing brings more joy than giving a gift that truly touches someone's heart.

The Lord smiled and nodded.

The steward beamed with pride and joy, his eyes sparkling as he said repeatedly: "The embroiderers at the Hou residence have been idle for most of the year. Even the young mistress can't think of anything to make them do."

"The old servant is incapable, only able to act on the county princess's behalf. I don't know if the county princess would like these dress styles."

At that time, Jia Yin shouted at Shui Ling to open a box.

At first glance, there was a large red brocade waistcoat embroidered with gold thread. The workmanship was extremely delicate, and it took a month for the embroidery alone to be completed.

Below there are also peach red, sky blue, scallion green, snow white and so on, almost gathering all the colors and styles of cheongsam.

The second chest held a dazzling array of dresses in every color imaginable: silks, pleated skirts, and floral prints, each one exquisitely beautiful.

The third chest contained six cloaks, lined with fur and with silk embroidery on the outer layer. They were both beautiful and warm.

The fourth box was filled with colorful fur hand warmers, purses, hand stove covers, and other small items.

The fifth and sixth chests contained a variety of embroidered shoes and boots.

Some were adorned with tassels, others inlaid with pearls. They came in a variety of heights and thicknesses, a dazzling array for the eyes.

Every woman loves beauty, Jia Yin couldn't bear to part with these beautiful clothes and shoes.

Then Grandmother Lin, Shui Ling, and Shui Yun all gathered together, chattering excitedly about how to arrange it.

For a moment, the house was so lively it almost blew the roof off.

The Lord sipped his tea slowly, a smile playing on his lips.

But the head butler couldn't sit idly by. He decisively stepped in, offering advice from time to time.

I'm determined to make my own county princess the most stunning girl at the palace night banquet!

Halfway through the discussion, Liu's family also sent a grandmother over, who brought a box of clothes, shoes, and socks.

It's obvious that Mrs. Liu is also worried about the Li family women not being around, and no one has arranged New Year's attire for Jia Yin.

Before Mrs. Liu could even leave, Madam Jia also sent someone over...

Finally, Jia Yin counted up all the new clothes, shoes, socks, and other necessities, gathering them into ten boxes!

This way, there's no worry about what to wear for the New Year. Instead, you have to worry about not being able to wear everything.

After the year, as the weather gradually warms up, it's time to start shedding those heavy clothes.

And she grew so tall that by next winter, these clothes would be too small for her.

Luckily, Baozhu was much shorter than her, so she could help "share the burden".

However, the pearl is a little plump. To avoid wasting these dresses, next year I'll have to supervise her to eat less and exercise more!

While snacking at home and learning manners from her mother, the little pearl suddenly sneezed loudly.

Although there was a heating system running in her house, she felt a deep chill...

After much anticipation, the New Year finally arrived, and countless people in Xindu breathed a collective sigh of relief.

It's the Lunar New Year, the Emperor has stopped working and the Imperial Censors have gone silent.

They finally didn't have to worry and guess who would be the next unlucky one.

If there's something wrong, that's next year's problem.

The only goal right now is to have a good year!

After a busy year, the common people eagerly await a feast on their tables.

The gentry have been busy for a year, and they also want to eat a good meal and sleep soundly!

Unfortunately, it seems everyone was rejoicing a little too soon.

Because the night banquet in the palace was about to begin.

Having never attended a palace banquet before, Jia Yin followed her stepfather and second uncle into the imperial court.

And the usually reclusive Empress Dowager, who had remained out of the public eye for several years, also made a grand appearance...

Here are three chapters. were wicker baskets, clean and breathable.A variety of rattan baskets of different sizes and colors were placed beneath the exhibition booth, very delicate. They were prepared for guests to choose fr...
