Chapter 9 New Year's Eve

The next day.

Gu Jinsheng woke up from his bed. When he opened his eyes, he could hear the sound of firecrackers outside in his boudoir. She did not sit up immediately, lying there, turning her eyes around and looking around.

She could see, woke up again, and was still in her room, everything became more and more real from yesterday to today.

She was still alive, when she was fourteen years old.

She slowly sat up. Her room was in red style, full of the youthful atmosphere of a lively girl, and was both flamboyant and exaggerated. She suddenly didn't like this flamboyant big red, thinking that after this New Year, she would change the red curtains and the big red bed under her.

She felt that she might have lived here forever. She could no longer live along the trajectory of her previous life. She also had to plan her future and her fate in her previous life could not be repeated.

When she got up, she wore a silver fur coat outside, which was simple, clean, and elegant. The double-breasted red cotton jacket I put for her last night was customized with Yunxi when she was two years ago. Now it seems that she not only looks ugly, but also has a petty and elegant appearance.

"Miss, you are awake. Happy Chinese New Year, I wish you all the best and the better you grow." Hearing her sound of getting up, Xiren Ziyi, who was waiting outside, had already come over. The two of them spoke in unison, bowing to her loudly and greeting her.

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and she smiled and said, "I wish you two sisters good health and all your wishes come true. You can take this, each girl in the house will be rewarded with you, and you will be given together later."

The two of them took the bag she handed over, wrapped in red lotus. After taking it, they knew there were a lot of them inside, heavy, probably twenty taels of silver. Even if she was a year, she didn't have that much. Xiren was a little flattered and said hurriedly: "Miss, there are too many."

There were indeed too many, and Ziyi looked at her in surprise, almost thinking that she had put it wrong and put it too much.

She didn't dare to accept it. Gu Jinsheng looked at them and smiled and said, "Not many, you sisters have accompanied me to study and play together since I was a child. In my heart, you are my own sisters." She didn't know these principles in her previous life. She just lived a new life. When she got her mind open, she suddenly understood who to cherish and who to stay away from.

Ziyi hurriedly bowed again and thanked repeatedly: "Thank you for the reward of me, I will fetch you water and wash it up first."

She ran out happily and asked the servants outside the house to fetch water and wash the lady.

Since it is the first day of the Lunar New Year, I have to go to wish my father a New Year's greetings to my mother a while later.

After washing up, she asked Xiren to put on light makeup, drew her eyebrows, applied her lower lip, and slapped some rouge and powder.

He stood in front of the mirror and looked carefully. Ziyi praised: "Miss, you are so beautiful today, just like a fairy in the sky." His little mouth became sweeter and sweeter.

She chuckled when she heard this and asked her, "Have you seen the fairy in the sky?"

"I have never seen it before, but I guess that even the fairies in the sky may not be as beautiful as the lady. If you don't believe me, please let Xiren say it."

Xiren hurriedly said, "Let me tell you, the lady really looks like a shaming flower. Your beauty should be that amazing beauty. I think you dress like this today to greet my grandpa. If you meet those ladies and concubines, you will definitely be more beautiful than the girls."

Jin Sheng smiled and said, "You two are sweet-mouthed."

The silver fur coat she wore was given to her by her grandmother before the New Year. At that time, several of her granddaughters were extremely jealous, but her grandmother was partial to her and loved her very much.

My grandmother loved her very much and thought of giving her any good things. She said she was afraid that she would get cold, so she made one for her to keep her cold. At that time, she thought the color was too plain, so she prepared to put it in the bottom of the box after taking it back, but she didn't like it.

The two servants followed her out and opened the curtains for her.

After walking out, the servants waiting outside the house came neatly to salute her. They spoke in unison, asked in a loud voice, and said a wish: Happy New Year, Miss, I wish you all your wishes come true, perfect, everything goes well, and everything is good.

Jin Sheng's heart moved slightly, and her wet nurse was standing aside with a smile. This was the result she had been thinking about for a night. She got up early and asked the servants in the yard to train for a long time before she could say it in unison.

There was no such thing in previous years, but the lady came back very late last night and was there with her wife. She looked around and felt that the lady had really grown up and became sensible. She had a sudden idea and asked Xiren Ziyi for some nice congratulations, and then let everyone remember them in their hearts.

Jin Sheng looked at them and smiled. She suddenly liked her life like this. Everyone is still there, everything is still good, and the bad things have not started yet. She still has time to do some remedial measures.

She smiled and said, "I wish everyone all their wishes come true. Today is the first day of the New Year. All the girls in the yard will be rewarded. Thank you for your hard work these days. Ziyi wears clothes, please send me some."

After receiving the order, the two girls immediately took out all the prepared purses and rewarded them.

The girls were very happy when they got the money, so they hurriedly bowed to her and thanked her again.

She also took some thought and took out all the purses she had treasured before last night and stuffed the silver into it. She felt that nothing was more practical than giving the silver directly.

Of course, she also specially prepared gifts for the wet nurse. The wet nurse took care of her for so long, and she loved her like her own daughter. In her previous life, she didn't like to listen to her nonsense, because the wet nurse and her mother were venting their anger and always liked to say that Yunxi was not.

In her previous life, the wet nurse was beaten to death by the people from Yunxi. In this life, she would never treat her badly.

She put the purse in her hand and said, "Wuhan, thank you for taking care of me for so many years, which made you worry. After the Chinese New Year, let's see what you need, and then buy some for yourself." The wet nurse has no children and is loyal to her mother and her throughout her life. She doesn't know what the wet nurse needs. Now she can care more about the wet nurse.

The wet nurse was moved, and her face was filled with laughter, and she hurriedly said, "Thank you, Miss, thank you."

Jin Sheng walked out and wanted to pay tribute to his father first.

When I walked out of the door, I saw that there was a piece of silver outside. Although it was extremely cold, it was so beautiful.

Grandpa and grandmother passed away early. By his father's generation, the population became increasingly thin, and he only gave birth to his father, second uncle and third aunt. The second uncle lived in the west of Guoan Mansion, separated by a courtyard wall. The third aunt would not return to her parents' home to pay New Year's greetings when she got married.

When Jin Sheng passed, Aunt Zhou and Aunt Xie had already taken their children to pay their respects to their father. Since Mrs. Hou was ill in bed for many years, she didn't want them to go to the morning and evening to settle down on the morning and evening. The aunts were not afraid of getting up early and going to bed late, but she was in poor health and could not afford to make trouble.

Among the concubines, Aunt Zhou gave birth to a pair of children, the third lady and the fifth master.

Aunt Xie only gave birth to one daughter, ranked fourth, thirteen years old, the same age as Yunxi.

The other concubines had no children in the family for a few years, so they had no status in the mansion.

Since it is the first day of the New Year, everyone today is dressed up beautifully and put on new clothes, with green flowers and willows. At first glance, it looks both beautiful and festive.

The main hall was bustling, and the ladies and young men were greeting Mr. Hou and saying their congratulations. The eldest young men Gu Yanjing sat aside and looked at him from time to time, thinking that his second sister should not be able to get up with the bed? He specifically explained to her servants next to her last night that if the second lady could not get up with the bed, she must wake her up.

Although he didn't think it was wrong to sleep in, it was the first day of the Lunar New Year, and it would be bad if she didn't come to pay New Year's greetings.

At that time, Yunxi also specially prepared some things for his father.

Mr. Hou obviously didn't remember the unhappiness last night, and admired the words written by his daughter.

Although she was only thirteen years old, she also worked hard on calligraphy. She wrote a few congratulations to his father. Seeing that his father wrote well, he praised her a few words, and Yunxi was so happy that he heard it.

Among the few ladies, the characters she wrote are beautiful. She has always been serious about everything and is willing to work hard. Taking advantage of this opportunity, she will naturally not miss it.

Jin Sheng's words are like a chicken crawling over, and they can't read them. She doesn't like reading and writing, and everyone knows them in private.

Although the fourth lady born by Aunt Xie looks good, she dared not compare her words with her with Yunxi. Yunxi's mother is favored now, and she is afraid that she will be jealous of her and will take revenge in the future.

There was a slave outside at that time: The second lady arrived.

When everyone heard the news, they looked out and saw the second lady Gu Jinsheng walking in surrounded by her four big maids and the wet nurse.

Gu Jinsheng was wearing a fur coat, wearing a red fox scarf, with boots of the same color as his feet, and simply tied a bun on his head, and a jade hairpin with an eight-treasure jade hairpin, just like a floating cloud floating in his smile. There was a lotus on his face and bright eyes.

Miss Jinsheng looks particularly elegant and beautiful today, as if she had changed her personal style, and was astonishing as if she was a different person.

Gu Yunxi turned his face and looked at him with a secret jealousy in his eyes. When she looked at her clothes, she had a cotton jacket that was covered with cold, which no one could tell from others, but she knew that there was a printed brocade robe on the outside and a red vest. She thought she was dressed in this way and looked very petty, but compared with the fur clothes on Gu Jinsheng, she looked quite petty.

A top-notch fur-like product is not something that a concubine can afford to wear. Even the legitimate daughter is not something that a rich man can't afford to buy. She fell in love with it when she saw it and wanted to come over, but her wet nurse stopped her and implyed that she wanted to steal the lady's everything, saying that it was given to her by the lady's grandmother. Even if the lady doesn't like to wear it, she can't give it to others. She was so angry that she bit her silver teeth, but she had no choice. Jin Sheng wanted to give it to her, but later she refused.

She glanced at the wet nurse following Jin Sheng with hatred. It must be this old man who was instigating Sister Sheng behind her back. Otherwise, how could her attitude suddenly be so bad? She obviously hated her.
