Rebirth of the Noble Concubine

Chapter 28 28. New Year’s Ceremony

The weather after the first snowfall is the most freezing.

When Mama Bai and others came in, she felt quite cold.

"I've met Miss."

"Mother Bai, please wake up. Do you have any instructions from mother? Why are you sent here at this time?"

Mother Bai smiled brightly, and while she was talking, someone handed over a few brochures and the key to the opposite door.

"Madam said that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the house needs someone to take care of it. She specially asked the old slave to bring the house's account book and housekeeper's key for the lady to check. In addition, the New Year's gift from the second room was also delivered today. In the past, we

There is also a list of return gifts, and the old slave has also brought them with me. Madam asked you to watch and deal with them."

So that's it, it's not difficult.

Ask Yun Xu to come forward and collect the things. We can discuss the housekeeper's matters later, but the second bedroom's New Year's gift came really early.

The Feng family is a prominent family in Liangzhou, northwest China, and has inherited the family business for hundreds of years.

There is a line in the family motto that the Dafang lineage can pursue an official career, but the Erfang lineage needs to stay in the northwest to stabilize the family business.

Therefore, it is not Feng Jinyao's father who is in charge of affairs in the clan now, but his second uncle.

"Second uncle is really quick and is ahead of us. What rare things did you send this year?"

Feng Jinyao could never forget this second uncle, who was a well-known figure in Liangzhou.

Not only was he very skillful, he managed the Feng family's property in an orderly manner, and he also married the daughter of a wealthy Hua family in Liangzhou.

Her second aunt was known as the "Female Zhuge" when she was still in the boudoir. She had good calculations, was smart and capable, and loved the younger generation even more and spent generously.

She remembered that when she got married, her second aunt sent her 10,000 taels of silver as a gift, plus a small golden pig made of pure gold. She was so heroic that even her mother admired her.

After hearing this, Mama Bai smiled happily, took out the New Year's gift list from her arms, and handed it to Feng Jinyao.

A thick book of posts is enough to show how important this new year's gift is.

"Others are pretty much the same as in the past, except that this year we sent a few skilled gardeners. I heard that we can cultivate flowers and plants that bloom in full bloom in winter. Our yard will celebrate the New Year in advance."

The joy in the words made everyone present happy when they heard it.

Feng Jinyao was also like this. Thinking that her mother and sister-in-law had been ill for many days, if there were some flowers and plants in the yard, maybe they would feel better.

Once this person is happy, his illness may be mostly cured.

Therefore, I liked the new year gift from my second room very much and arranged it immediately.

"Let someone free up a room and give them the treatment of a second-door manager. In addition, move an open space near the garden so that they can cultivate more. If they can really feed themselves in the winter, they can also send a few pots to grandma. She

The old man will definitely be happy to see you."

When Mama Bai heard this, the smile on her face became even happier.

After all, she is from the Bai family. It is a good thing that this young lady can think of the Bai family at any time.

After explaining this, Feng Jinyao said to everyone.

"Mama Bai and I still have something to say, so you can go down first."

After saying that, he waved to Feng Yunhe and motioned for him to come forward.

After the conversation just now, Feng Yunhe was much closer to her now than before.

"You go back to the courtyard to pack your things first, and then explain it clearly to my sister-in-law, and then bring your post. Silver wire charcoal has been prepared in the study for a long time. It's warm now, so you don't have to worry about freezing your hands while practicing calligraphy in there."

"Thank you, aunt. I'll go back and get the things right away."

After that, he trotted out of the yard in a relaxed mood, without any sign of the solemnity when he came.

Mother Bai was a little surprised when she saw it, "Big brother is really happy today."

"My eldest brother has arranged for him to enter school next year, so he is naturally happy."

"That's it. I usually look at the seriousness on my uncle's face and thought he didn't care about these things. I didn't expect that the arrangement was so appropriate. This way, my wife can recover easily."

After mentioning her mother's illness, Feng Jinyao found an excuse to retreat and then asked.

"Is mother's cough getting better?"

At this point, Bai's mother had tears in her eyes and nodded happily.

"Fortunately, the lady discovered it in time. After taking the medicine for the past two days, my wife's voice has improved a lot. However, it may take a while for her to fully recover. She is afraid of alerting others, so she is still pretending to take the medicine."

"That's good." Feng Jinyao finally felt relieved.

No wonder the Ren family in the south of the city is so famous. This cough medicine is indeed extraordinary.

"The cough has never been good, and I am worried that it will induce other symptoms. When I went to see my mother two days ago, I felt that in addition to coughing, she was also breathing more quickly. Could it be that the cough triggered her asthma?"

Mother Bai frowned and thought for a while, then shook her head.

"My wife had committed the crime several times before she came out of the government. However, since she married the master, everything in the house that could cause my wife's asthma has been cleaned up. Over the years, my wife has never had an asthma attack. It should be

Won't."

They all see the importance their father attaches to their mother.

It's just that the person behind the scenes was able to poison my mother's medicine for so long. He must be someone very close to me. I'm afraid he also knows about my mother's asthma.

If that person wanted to take advantage of it, it would not be impossible, so he reminded him.

"Don't take it lightly. Please go back and check it carefully again. Make sure you don't give the other party an opportunity to harm your mother again!"

After hearing what she said, Mama Bai felt that it was very reasonable, and immediately nodded and promised that she would investigate thoroughly when she went back.

After Mama Bai left, Yunxu brought up the account book and housekeeper's key that he had just received.

"Miss, do you want to check the accounts now?"

"Don't worry, the steward over there in the accounting office is my mother's confidant, so there should be no problem. The most important thing right now is my mother's illness."

She will take care of Mother Bai's side, but she can't take it lightly in the yard outside.

"Don't worry, Miss. Doctor Zhang has already sent people to keep an eye on her. They will report as soon as there is any news. What's more, Madam Jiren has her own destiny, and I believe she will get better."

"I hope so. Yunxu, I remember that you know a lot about things that asthmatics are sensitive to."

Yunxu nodded. She was always careful in doing things. She had listened to Mama Bai's instructions before, so she remembered them very well.

"Then make arrangements and clean the yard properly. It's time to celebrate the New Year. Clean out what needs to be cleaned and change what needs to be changed. Don't leave anything that may cause mother's asthma."

"Don't worry, miss."

The lunch was simple, and when I was full and exhausted, I saw Xiangqiu coming in and announced that my sister-in-law, Wen Shi, was also here.

Feng Jinyao frowned. She was still ill and it was snowing outside. Could it be that she rushed here because of Yunhe's admission to school?

As expected, the elder sister-in-law Wen Shi burst into tears as soon as she came in. She expressed gratitude to Feng Jinyao but said nothing in return, which made her feel a little embarrassed.
