In the era of fetal wear, she became the first socialite in Hong Kong

The red envelopes in Hong Kong are mainly for the purpose of bringing good luck and contain relatively small amounts of money. They are just a "formality" of handing out to everyone you meet during the Chinese New Year. However, there is no upper limit on the amount of New Year's money that family members can receive.

It is customary for grandpa to give out New Year's money in copper coins, while uncles and aunts mainly give out cash, sometimes in Hong Kong dollars, sometimes in British pounds and US dollars. My uncle Fu Qizhan will also give out a "hodgepodge" of red envelopes when he feels like playing - a mixture of currencies from multiple countries including US dollars, British pounds, francs, and Hong Kong dollars.

These were the New Year's money that Fu Ziyan used to receive. The amount was not large, just for good luck and a touch of the New Year atmosphere. In previous years, she didn't care and just gave it away as she pleased. But this year was different.

She is the one who prepares the New Year's money.

Unmarried children could receive lucky money, so Fu Ziyan naturally accepted one. However, the Fu family also had an unwritten rule: graduating from university meant entering society and taking on responsibilities, so regardless of whether they were married or not, after graduation, the elders had to give lucky money to the younger generation.

There are not many children in the fourth generation of the Fu family. Currently, there are only Fu Zitong’s son Shen Yuchu and Fu Zimu’s son Fu Yanzhang.

In fact, there are two sons of Li Ziheng in the mainland, Li Song and Li Yu. The next generation of the Fu family is Zhang, so in the Fu family tree, the names of the two nephews are Fu Songzhang and Fu Yuzhang.

As the aunt who distributed New Year's money for the first time, Fu Ziyan still had a strong sense of ritual.

She specially arranged for people to make gold coins carved with horses and jade carved into the shape of ponies, and put them in small brocade bags embroidered with horses, intending to give one to everyone.

Although the two children, Li Song and Li Yu, could not receive the gifts on the spot, Fu Ziyan did not forget them. She put them together with the full-month gifts and first-birthday gifts prepared for them in the safe and would give them to them when she could meet them openly in the future.

Fu Yanzhang got it on New Year's Eve.

The three-year-old child couldn't hide his emotions. After wishing Fu Ziyan a happy new year, he asked the nanny who was taking care of him to help him open the box as soon as he got it.

The pure gold coin is particularly eye-catching with its golden brilliance, and the horse carving on the coin is even more graceful, showing the elegance of a master. However, the child does not know how to appreciate it, so he just glanced at it and skipped over it, directly picking up the small jade horse.

The hooves are made of yellow jade and the body is made of green jade. Although the round little body still looks immature, the flying hooves already show that the pony is eager to try.

As soon as the vivid pony appeared, Fu Yanzhang exclaimed "Wow" and couldn't wait to express his love for it: "What a beautiful pony!"

Not only Fu Yanzhang exclaimed "Wow", but also his uncle Xiao Zhouzhou who was watching on the side.

emm...a little uncle who is over five years old.

Xiao Zhouzhou pouted and came up to hug Fu Ziyan: "Sister, Xiao Zhouzhou wants Xiao Ma too!"

He still couldn't understand why, when they were all children, his nephew Yan Zhang got the pony given by his sister, but he didn't? He was obviously his sister's favorite child!

The child's thoughts were all written on his face. Fu Ziyan smiled and leaned over to hug him back: "This is the New Year's money for Xiao Yanzhang. I also prepared a New Year's gift for Zhou Zhou. Can I give it to you tomorrow?"

"Good! Sister is the best!" Xiao Zhouzhou was happy and left Fu Yanzhang with a proud smile of a winner.

Three-year-old Fu Yanzhang didn’t quite understand. He looked at him blankly and then lowered his head to play with the emerald pony.

Fu Chengyi and several other brothers and sisters also looked at Fu Ziyan eagerly, without saying anything, but their meaning was very clear - Xiao Zhouzhou has a New Year's gift, can they have one too?

Fu Ziyan smiled and tilted her head to look at them: "Yiyi, Xiaoshu, Xiaozhen, you have some too. You can come to my place someday and choose whatever you want."

She didn't prepare too many jade horses, but the small treasure house in Taiping Mountain had the most jade and jadeite.

Not to mention that after owning the jade and diamond mines, her subordinates would send her a batch of them every quarter. Sometimes they were uncarved, and sometimes they were finished products carved by the cooperating brands. For example, the batch she bought in the Friendship Store in the mainland that year, such as shell carvings, cloisonné and other exquisite and interesting handicrafts, has not been sent out yet.

The little girls' eyes lit up.

I've heard that cousin Zi Yan has the most good things. I saw a string of colorful jade wind chimes at sister Zi Ruo's place before. I heard that it was a birthday gift that sister Zi Yan gave her one year.

Of course, they would also receive birthday gifts from Sister Zi Yan, but in the past few years that Sister Zi Yan has been in the UK, the birthday gifts were obviously chosen by one of her assistants. I don’t know what they were thinking, but they were actually stationery such as pens, ink, paper, inkstones, and painting materials. Although they were also fine products, they preferred exquisite small items!

Now they can pick one themselves too?

Even though they didn't say it out loud, the joyful atmosphere was undeniable. Fu Qiyang, who was watching from the side, chuckled softly, "It seems that jade horses are really popular among children. I'll take care of the jade horses you want. Leave a chance to go to Yanyan's small warehouse to pick one. Speaking of which, thanks to Yanyan's idea of ​​the New Year's zodiac jade, my jade shops have been doing very well before the New Year. Uncle Wu will give you a big gift one day."

"Fifth Brother is going to make Yanyan's warehouse bleed heavily!"

"I have plenty of stuff, so a few gifts for my younger siblings isn't a big deal," Fu Ziyan smiled and waved her hand. "I just mentioned the zodiac jadeite casually, so there's no need for a big gift. If Fifth Uncle wants to thank me, then I should thank him for lending me Luo Xu. Luo Xu's skills are truly amazing. Among all the green jadeite, he chose a mixture of yellow and green jadeite to carve, and the finished product is truly lovely."

Ever since Uncle Five's jade brand gradually grew bigger, all the jade carvers that the Fu family had previously brought from the mainland went to work for Uncle Five's jade brand. And when the workload was heavy before the Spring Festival, Uncle Five was really generous to her by being able to lend out the master carver Luo Xu.

Fu Mingzhang suddenly said, "Is Lao Wu's jade shop going to open a branch in Singapore this year?"

“Yes, we will cooperate with the Guo family to bring Wushuang Jade to Singapore.” The Guo family is the big Singaporean family that Fu Zizhen married into two years ago. The main business is real estate and they are called “big landlords” by local media. Currently, the tallest commercial building in Singapore is owned by the Guo family.

"There are many Chinese people in Southeast Asia, so this area can be further developed."

"Dad is right, that's exactly what I thought."

"From Zhen's side..."

New Year's Eve is spent in a lively atmosphere of family reunion.

The next day, Shen Yuchu's eldest cousin Fu Zitong, who was married in Hong Kong, came to the old house with her husband and son to pay New Year's greetings. Shen Yuchu greeted the elders in turn.

Although Shen Yuchu was only six years old, he already had the childhood characteristics of the domineering male protagonist in novels. Even at such a young age, he exuded a calm and composed air, greeting his elders with a stern face and a serious expression.

"Aunt Yan, Happy New Year! I wish you all the best." He not only wished her a happy new year, but also learned to care about the elders' recent situation, even those like Fu Ziyan who had studied abroad for many years. "I heard from Mommy that Aunt Yan has graduated. Congratulations on completing your studies. I wish you a successful career in the new year."

Fu Ziyan looked at him curiously. It was not a surprise, as this was in line with the stereotype of the eldest grandson and heir of a wealthy family. She was just thinking of the eleven-year-old Yi Yi who had been following her around like a little tail just two days ago.

Fu Ziyan smiled and handed over the red envelope, following his words and saying, "Thank you for your blessing, Yuchu. I also wish you academic success in the new year."

"Thank you, Aunt Yan."

As Shen Yuchu received his share of lucky money from Fu Ziyan and others, he also felt strange looks from his aunts and uncles in the distance. Although it was a little strange, he had received strange looks more than once since he was a child. Since these aunts and uncles didn't say anything, he just pretended not to know.

He continued, "My mother told me that Aunt Yan started investing when she was eight or nine years old. I've also got a project I'd like to try recently. If I encounter any problems, can I ask Aunt Yan?"

Fu Ziyan raised her eyebrows. The Shen family was also a big family, and there was no shortage of elders who could guide children in investment. However, Shen Yuchu must have his reasons for saying that.

Even though he was only six years old, he could express his thoughts so clearly. Fu Ziyan didn't treat him as an ordinary child. She happily agreed, "Of course. When you're free someday, you can bring your investment plan to me and we can study it together."

Shen Yuchu pursed his lips and nodded: "Thank you, Aunt Yan."

Fu Ziyan found the little boy so adorable as he tried so hard to keep a serious face. It turned out that this was the adorable reality of the young version of the domineering male protagonist in romance novels.

Yiyi and the others in the distance could no longer sit still.

Sister Yanyan has already given the New Year's red envelope to her eldest nephew, so why is she still chatting and laughing with him? When will they finish chatting? Sister Yanyan should have some free time soon. Can she take them to Taipingshan to choose New Year's gifts?

Fu Chengyi took the lead, leading a group of brothers and sisters to run towards Fu Ziyan, and various voices mixed into one sentence: "Sister Yanyan, can we set off now?"
