Ten years of film queen, finally became a top star

Chapter 219 New Year’s Money

The New Year's Eve stay-at-home passed in a very boring way. Fireworks were set off at midnight, and everyone ate dumplings symbolically before going home.

The Jiang couple had no habit of staying the night here, and Zhuang Yuhuan had to meet with Zhuang's relatives tomorrow, so only Lou Wangyun and the younger generations were at the manor.

Zhuang Le Yi is a pure playboy. His girlfriend is not in Beijing. He waits for everyone to go back to the house, then goes out and drinks with some Beijing playboys.

The next morning, Zhuang Leyi returned quietly but didn't dare to take the elevator. He sneaked back to his room via the stairs.

When passing by the gym on the second floor, he found that his sister and her boyfriend were not sleeping early in the morning and were exercising there.

Although he was sober, he still smelled of perfume, cigarettes and alcohol. He could only go back to his room and take a quick shower before going back to see his sister.

Because Yu Jiang needed to lose weight, the time he spent exercising on an empty stomach increased significantly.

It's Ran Feng's first time here, so it's not a good idea to just eat salad. He didn't restrict his diet during tea and dinner yesterday. During the tour, he will inevitably have to suffer more if he doesn't restrict his diet.

It's annoying to do too much exercise, and when Yu Jiang was running, her fence-sitter brother came to chat with her with wet hair, making her even irritable when she woke up.

Young Master Zhuang was also bored, so he felt relieved after being scolded by his sister during the New Year's Day, and went back to catch up on his sleep.

After scolding and venting his anger, Yu Jiang took Ran Feng downstairs to have breakfast comfortably.

After breakfast, the three elders also came back, and next came the New Year greetings session that the children were most looking forward to.

Yu Jiang still called this Dong and that Zong in a stiff manner, but he still managed to get a lot of New Year's money.

Ran Feng no longer accepts red envelopes from his parents at home, so he felt a little embarrassed to accept New Year's money when they first met.

Seeing him hesitate, Yu Jiang whispered in his ear: "Don't refuse it. Besides, accepting the New Year's money can be considered as their recognition of our relationship."

Ran Feng took the money awkwardly, and Lou Jingtai came up to him and talked to him.

"It's okay, brother-in-law. Our family tradition is that all unmarried people have to receive New Year's money. I don't feel any pressure to receive it at my age, so it's even more appropriate for you to receive it at your young age."

Yu Jiang heard it and said angrily, "Oh, Mr. Lou has a brother-in-law? What about your sister?"

Lou Jingtai was speechless after being rebuked. It was indeed his previous behavior that was wrong, and he simply remained silent and did not dare to confront his cousin.

Yu Jiang's words were not only to speak up for himself, but also to test Lou Jingyue's intention to expose her boyfriend, but Lou Jingtai didn't respond, so she didn't dare to ask any more questions.

It is not unusual for many families to give out lucky money before the wedding, but when the whole family pays New Year's greetings to the eldest elder, Lou Wangyun, it is different from the general tradition.

Even Yu Jiang didn't know when the tradition started. The old lady of the Jiang family started giving out jewelry instead of cash.

Lou Wangyun seemed to explain it specifically for her: "I'm old now, and these things will just gather dust if I keep them. Why don't I give them to you slowly so that you can wear them and keep them as a memory in the future."

Here it comes again, cursing himself on New Year's Day. Yu Jiang has heard it so many times that he is too lazy to respond.

Jiang Jun received a black jade bracelet for men as a New Year’s greeting. The pure black, unpolished surface of the bracelet is dull and low-key, while the embossed coiled dragon is very imposing.

You can tell that this is an old material without even touching it. Black jadeite of this grade has not been produced for many years.

Judging from the look in Lou Wangyun's eyes, he is probably still an old guy. It is said that Mr. Jiang Yi's favorite jewelry is the bracelet, and it looks like it was left by him.

Mrs. Jiang received a pair of black jade imperial bracelets as a New Year's greeting. Grandma Lou was thoughtful and the men's bracelet she received with Jiang Jun looked like they were made of the same material, and the size was also like what the old lady had worn.

This was a token of love between Lou Wangyun and Jiang Yi. Her original intention was to hope that they would live in harmony, but Mrs. Jiang was only interested in the size that she could not wear.

The son-in-law Zhuang Yuhuan was very much favored by Old Lady Lou, who gave him a yellow jade toad hand-held ornament to bring him wealth.

The next one was Lou Jingtai, the oldest among the younger generation. When Ke Weijiang handed the box to him, Lou Wangyun took the opportunity to give him a few words of advice.

"My eldest nephew, please don't give me this opportunity to spend money next year. It's time to get married."

Lou Jingtai took the oversized box and opened it. Sure enough, it was a peach blossom tree ornament made of red jadeite, the profound meaning of which was self-evident.

Lou Jinghan had just finished making fun of his brother when he was broken down by the gift he received.

Yu Jiang also smiled secretly when he saw the imperial green Pixiu pendant on his hand. This child has been a miser since he was young, and his nickname is Pixiu.

The next person, Lou Jingyue, received a set of jewelry, a necklace and earrings made of South Sea pearls and diamonds, which were suitable for her age.

Ran Feng whispered to his girlfriend in a panic: "Is there a share for me? I don't deserve it!"

"Then what can we do? We are already here, there is nothing we can do. Anyway, the old lady doesn't need this thing at all, so you can just take it if you give it to me..."

When Zhuang Leyi saw his sister and brother-in-law chatting there, he quickly pulled Jiang Xiao to join him and wish them a happy new year.

Each of them received an uncut diamond of about 16 carats. Jiang Xiao's was a yellow diamond, and Zhuang Leyi's was a blue diamond.

"Yiyi and Xiaoxiao are old enough now. Boys don't have many opportunities to wear jewelry. Keep these two diamonds to make wedding rings for your wives in the future."

Sure enough, no matter what kind of family it is, urging marriage during the Spring Festival is a must.

Yu Jiang and Ran Feng, who didn't want to accept gifts, couldn't spare the time this time and could only go forward to wish everyone a happy new year.

Old Madam Lou held Yu Jiang's hand and said, "Yu Yu, grandma is really happy that you are back. I don't dare to ask for more, I just hope that I can see my Yu Yu more often during the New Year holidays."

Yu Jiang felt uncomfortable after hearing what she said, and he couldn't help but nodded in agreement.

She took Ran Feng's hand again and placed it on her knees. "Yuyu has always had good eyesight. I know you are busy with work, but grandma still hopes that you can come back with Yuyu to see me, an old lady, next time."

Of course Ran Feng had to agree, but from Lou Wangyun's eyes, Ran Feng found that she didn't seem to care about his answer.

She quickly took Yu Jiang's hand again, gave Ke Weijiang a look, and he handed her a box.

When you open it, you will see a sparkling pigeon blood ruby ​​bracelet. The whole circle of the bracelet is made of top-quality pigeon blood rubies, with gold as the base and diamonds as the lining.

The rubies are polished into egg-shaped surfaces and do not look that eye-catching, but the diamonds of all sizes surrounding them are so sparkling that one cannot help but take a second look.

Before Yu Jiang could say anything, Lou Wangyun had already put the bracelet on her hand, and took out a ring of the same style from the box and put it on Yu Jiang's index finger.

"Yuyu, this is what grandma wore when she got married. Grandma gave it to you, hoping that you can be happy."

Seeing that her cloudy eyes were covered with tears, Yu Jiang didn't know how to say no.

Ran Feng got a ruby ​​ring that looked similar to Yu Jiang's ring. He felt happy that he had been recognized by his girlfriend's family.
