Wei Yang looked around and found everything was in order except for the lack of flowers and plants. It always felt a little deserted.
"Youlan, Xiaocao, ask some maids to go to the greenhouse and bring some pots of flowers."
"Yes." Youlan and Xiaocao answered in unison and lifted the curtain to walk out.
Konggu accompanied Weiyang and gave each child in the small hall a box, which was a gift prepared by Weiyang. There was also a purse, which contained the customized gold ingots that Yangui had delivered that morning.
The gold ingots are made into patterns of various small animals, which are very small and cute.
Yesterday the old general gave the children New Year's money. Wei Yang got drunk and left early, so she didn't have time to give out the prepared gifts. Today, she gave the children the New Year's money as well.
No matter how old a child is, they love to receive gifts and lucky money. Today, the new aunt gave double the amount, which made everyone even happier. If the older brother was in the front hall and not here, the younger brothers and sisters helped to receive the gifts and then gave them to the older brother.
"Don't blame me, sisters-in-law. I drank so much yesterday that I even forgot about the gifts. It was really rude." Wei Yang smiled and asked Konggu to present the gifts prepared for the four sisters-in-law, a flower-shaped gold hairpin inlaid with gems for each of them.
The hairpins were all brought by Wei Yang from the capital. Not only were they valuable, but the craftsmanship was exquisite. The four sisters-in-law loved them so much that they put them in their hair right away.
Wei Yang's belongings were always the best in the mansion, so the things she brought out were not ordinary. However, the things she gave to her sisters-in-law were not Wei Yang's personal belongings, but were prepared for her by Madam Qian.
The things that Nanny Qian prepared were what the Queen prepared for Wei Yang, and they were priceless treasures.
Guests arrived one after another, and all of them were attracted by the new hairpins on the heads of the four sisters-in-law. They praised them one after another, which made the sisters-in-law have even more favorable impressions on Wei Yang.
The main reason for everyone to come today was to pay New Year's greetings, but most of them came to see Wei Yang. Seeing a beautiful girl standing next to the four young ladies of the Yan family, they guessed that this must be the person General Yan liked.
There was no other reason, she was just too beautiful. Such a beautiful and intelligent girl had never been seen in Yanzhou. No wonder General Yan was attracted to her.
Hearing that she was Yan Gui's future wife, everyone was very enthusiastic and held Wei Yang's hand to ask her questions carefully. Wei Yang naturally didn't say much, responded appropriately, talked and laughed freely, and was very careful in her words and actions. She said what she should say and didn't say anything she shouldn't say.
The four adopted sons and wives of the Yan family naturally received instructions from the old general early on, and they sat in the middle chatting and laughing with everyone with Wei Yang, and it was almost time for the banquet at noon.
At this time, everyone who was supposed to come had arrived, except for the old general's deputy general, Mrs. Zhou.
Deputy General Zhou's father followed the old general through thick and thin, and after his father died, his son followed the old general again. It can be said that the Zhou family existed as long as the Yan family existed, and they have been loyal to the Yan family for generations. Not to mention Deputy General Zhou, even Deputy General Zhou's eldest son is one of Yan Gui's capable deputy generals.
At this moment, the people have not arrived yet, and although they don't say anything, they are guessing in their hearts.
Deputy General Zhou had a daughter who was still unmarried. She was beautiful and loved by Old Lady Yan. She was often brought into the mansion to play when she was young. Everyone thought that Zhou's daughter might become the mistress of the Yan family in the future. However, after Zhou's daughter reached the age of marriage, the Yan family remained silent.
Now, the Zhou family's daughter has turned eighteen after the Chinese New Year, and Yan Gui suddenly has a fiancée. Naturally, the Zhou family has a strange feeling in their hearts.
