More than a month ago, Qin Ji came to the house to talk to his father, and he was holding a slender red brocade box in his hand. She secretly hid outside the door, only vaguely heard something "marriage contract with the Guo family", at that time she was happy in her heart, her own family actually climbed high to the Qin She people - Daddy is the person in charge of the Guo family, looking at the whole family only she can marry, and she will be glorious and rich in the future, and the dignity is ineffable. Qin Ji has a poor reputation and a group of concubines in the house, the key is that she is a wife, and he is handsome and unparalleled, talented and powerful.

Later, when the maid was serving tea, she accidentally knocked over the brocade box, and saw through the crack in the door that there was a beautiful plum branch bird hairpin in the brocade box.

The style is for the girl's family, and she is the only one in the entire Guo family who is young.

But Qin Ji didn't take out the hairpin and give it to her in the end, but left with the brocade box.

Immediately afterwards, my father announced one thing - Qin Sheren found the eldest lady of the Guo family, who had been missing for many years, and this time she went out of Beijing to personally welcome her back, and she would get married on an auspicious day.

It turned out that the marriage contract was with my sister, and this hairpin was also given to my sister by Qin Sheren.

Guo Baoyun couldn't control his hand for a while, and stretched out to the hairpin, ignoring Yao's stopping eyes.

"It's so beautiful." She exclaimed, clutching the hairpin uncontrollably.

Yu Mingzhi glanced at her and saw that she was a little excited, such a performance would be shown when many little girls saw something they liked, which was not unusual.

Guo Baoyun saw that her sister had no objection, so she first took out a wooden box from her arms, "I prepared a gift for my sister." ”

"Thank you." Yu Mingzhi opened it, and it was a transparent and emerald green jade bracelet.

"I'll put it on for my sister." Guo Baoyun didn't wait for Yu Mingzhi to agree, so she put on a jade bracelet and exclaimed: "The jade color matches my sister's skin color very well, and it makes her temperament gentle." ”

Yao asked, "This jade color looks very valuable, where did you get so many monthly examples?" ”

Guo Baoyun pursed her lips and said, "In front of my sister, don't talk about this, it's not stealing and robbing anyway." ”

Yao shook his head and sighed: "I can't help you." ”

Yu Mingzhi looked at Guo Baoyun, who was smiling sweetly in the mirror, and thought that someone had given him a gift, and it was time to return the gift, but ...... Her eyes fell on the plum branch bird hairpin that was still in Guo Baoyun's hand, and instantly understood her thoughts.

It happened that the bun had already been combed, so she naturally took out the hairpin from Guo Baoyun's hand and put it on for herself, "Sister Rong think about it, I will definitely give you a good thing in a few days." ”

Guo Baoyun straightened some hairpins and said expectantly: "No matter what my sister gives me, I like it." ”

"That's good." Yu Mingzhi pinched her cheek.

"Okay, if the two sisters have anything to say, I'll talk about it after breakfast." Yao held a daughter in one hand, talked and laughed and went to the main courtyard where she lived.

The mother in the back looked at the clasped hands of the lady and the eldest lady, and her brows furrowed deeply.

Guo Chang went out early in the morning to talk about business, so breakfast was only eaten by the three of them, mother and daughter. After the meal, Yao ordered someone to bring more than a dozen pieces of cloth of different colors and colors, and called a tailor, let Yu Mingzhi choose what he liked to make new clothes, and made an appointment to go to the jewelry store.

Guo Baoyun said jealously: "My sister is back, and my mother doesn't love me anymore." ”

Yu Mingzhi took a piece of light pink material with a butterfly pattern of hibiscus folded branches, and made a few strokes on her, "This piece of material is more suitable for my sister." ”

Guo Baoyun's eyebrows were like flowers, "My sister loves me the most." ”

Yao saw their deep sisterhood, smiled and nodded.

Yu Mingzhi chose the ingredients and thanked Yao.

In the house, there was a scene of mother and son filial piety, which made the people present laugh from ear to ear.

At this time, a maid outside shouted: "Madam, eldest lady, second miss, Qin She sent someone to send a gift to the eldest lady." ”

Yao glanced at Yu Mingzhi with a smile, "Don't bring it in yet." ”

The little maid came in cautiously holding the gift box and gently placed it on the table, "The attendant of the Qin Sheren said that the eldest lady would open it with her own hands and look at it. ”

Yao said: "Look, Baozhi and Qinshe are so sweet before they get married. I don't think your father and I need to worry. ”

Yu Mingzhi pretended to smile shyly and opened the gift box. There were three boxes of things and a letter inside, she first opened the letter and read it, two words of greeting, and then explained that two of the boxes were for Yao and Guo Baoyun, because she knew that she needed to send them back.

This man is really thoughtful. She opened the two boxes, Yao's one contained a set of dotted emerald heads, and Guo Baoyun's was a pair of pigeon-blood-red earrings and necklaces, both of which were priceless things.

She hesitated for a while, then took out these two things and gave them to Yao and Guo Baoyun, "A little bit of Qin Sheren's heart." ”

As soon as Guo Baoyun saw those gestures, the brilliance in her eyes was brighter than the pigeon's blood-red gem, and she knew that this pair of things was much more than the hairpin before. She immediately called for a bronze mirror and replaced it with new earrings and necklaces, and the girl in the flowering season was even more glamorous against the background of the precious stones.

Seeing the Guo family's mother and daughter happily looking at the gifts, Yu Mingzhi opened the last box, which was not gold and silver jewelry, but a set of four treasures of the study.

Not only food, but also one of the hobbies.

Yu Mingzhi closed the lid and asked Chun Tao to help him take it.

Guo Baoyun looked over curiously, "What did Qin Sheren give to my sister?" ”

"The Four Treasures of the Study."

"The Four Treasures of the Study?" Guo Baoyun looked at her mother in puzzlement, she has been wandering away all these years, she has no spare money to continue studying, and it is difficult to say that she can write a full page of words, how could the people of Qin She send these to her sister?

Yu Mingzhi said: "The people of Qin She want me to study hard. She naturally understands that she can't say that she likes to write.

Guo Baoyun almost laughed, how do you feel that this is Qin Sheren's dislike that her sister doesn't know poetry and books? She looked at the plum branches and birds on Yu Mingzhi's bun again, and she didn't feel so fond and jealous.

I think it's because Qin Sheren thinks that her sister is worth this kind of worthless broken jewelry.

Thinking of this, the smile on her face deepened, "Mother, then you must invite the best Xixi seat in the city." ”

Yao nodded, "Definitely." ”

Yu Mingzhi glanced at the mother and daughter, and lowered his eyes silently, "I'm sorry to trouble my mother." ”

After gossiping for a long time, Yao had to go to the shop to read the account books, so he let the two daughters play by themselves. Guo Baoyun had to personally prepare peach blossom wine and snacks, and asked Yu Mingzhi to wait in the garden first.

Yu Mingzhi went back to Chengyun Courtyard to put things first, but as soon as he entered the door, he saw Qi's mother walking around anxiously under the porch, and when he saw her back, he hurriedly greeted her.

"Miss." She shouted with a reluctant smile.

"Something?" She doesn't like to beat around the bush.

Mother Qi looked at the other maids in the courtyard and whispered, "Eldest Miss, be careful of Madame and Second Miss, don't trust them." ”
