After Laba, it is time to prepare for the New Year.

Seeing that everyone was busy, Mu Qingge felt a little bored.

"Poria, let's go see my brother." Mu Qingge took Poria to Mu Wenhan's courtyard.

Mu Wenhan was embarrassed, and when he saw Mu Qingge coming in, his expression was very complicated.

"Brother, what's wrong? Received too many gifts, so annoyed? Mu Qingge joked with a smile.

Who knew that Mu Wenhan sighed and said, "Isn't it because there are too many gifts, so you are embarrassed?" But ah, these gifts are not for me, they are for you. ”

"For me?" Mu Qingge was also surprised.

"This was given to you by Xue An. This was given by Feng Yuming. This was sent by Liu Xianning. This, yes...... It was sent by the three princes. Mu Wenhan took out four of the gifts from the pile on the table and placed them in front of Mu Qingge one by one.

Seeing Mu Qingge's blank face, Mu Wenhan said, "Embarrassed, right?" ”

"Why did they give me a gift?" Mu Qingge held back a sentence for a long time.

"Although you are only thirteen years old, I know that you are mature enough to not understand what they mean, right?" Mu Wenhan was simply straightforward.

Yes, she is thirteen years old, and in two years, after the ceremony, she will be able to get married.

Although it is not possible to get married now, it is completely possible to get married.

Thirteen or fourteen years old is a good time to kiss.

Dajin folk customs are open, and if it is a man or woman who is interested, it is also allowed to give gifts in private. Of course, in the end, the marriage is still decided by the parents.

"This, don't think about it, what he likes is the third sister." Mu Qingge picked out the gift from Xue An, "So, I can accept his gift with confidence." ”

"As for these, please ask my brother to help me return them." Mu Qingge didn't touch the other boxes.

"If you don't accept gifts, you have to go out? Sister Qingge is really too generous. Mu Qingyao came in with a smile.

"Third sister, don't worry, there will definitely be your gift here, right, brother?" Mu Qingge knew that Xue An would definitely send a gift.

"Of course." Mu Wenhan smiled and picked out 1∠1∠1∠1∠, m.▲.covmstyle_tt; Xue An's gift to Mu Qingyao.

"Wow, look at this box. You know how big the difference is. Mu Qingge shouted deliberately. Xue An's gift to Mu Qingyao was obviously much better than that given to himself.

Mu Qingyao was stunned for a moment when she saw that she really had her own gift, and blushed.

"Sister, why don't you take it apart and take a look. I wonder what's inside. "Mu Qingge rarely saw the gentle and atmospheric Mu Qingyao also have such a daughter's side. Keep joking.

Mu Qingyao blushed and went to get the box. It really opened, and inside was a string of purple pearls. The pearls are round and full, just as large. The luster is bright, and the zuò is particularly exquisite, and you can see that it is not ordinary.

"What a beautiful handpiece, do you like it?" Mu Qingge felt that Xue An also prepared this gift with heart, if Mu Qingyao agreed, it could achieve a beautiful marriage.

Mu Wenhan also had the same idea as Mu Qingge, and looked at Mu Qingyao with anticipation.

"It's pretty handy...... I don't know, who sent it? Mu Qingyao lowered her head, and her voice was no louder than that of a mosquito.

But Mu Qingge and Mu Wenhan still heard it, and the two looked at each other and smiled at the same time.

"Of course it's Xue Gongzi, who else can it be." Mu Qingge said casually.

Who knew that Mu Qingyao's face changed suddenly, and she trembled for a long time before she said, "Young Master Xue?" Which Xue Gongzi? ”

"Naturally, it's Xue Angongzi, which Xue Gongzi do you know?" Mu Wenhan was puzzled.

Mu Qingge saw that there seemed to be anger in Mu Qingyao's eyes, and after a while, he endured it and said calmly: "But, I don't know Xue Angongzi either?" ”

"On Grandmother's birthday, Xue Gongzi came to the house, didn't you talk to him at that time? I thought ...... "Mu Wenhan was surprised, even if Mu Qingyao didn't like Xue An, he should have known him."

Mu Qingge could feel Mu Qingyao's unhappiness, and hurriedly said: "There were so many guests who came that day, even if the third sister saw Xue Gongzi, it was only a few words, where did she remember it?" ”

Mu Wenhan was stunned, and didn't understand why Mu Qingge suddenly changed his mind.

"Isn't it? I helped my mother prepare the birthday banquet that day, and I met a lot of people, but I don't remember which one was Xue Gongzi. This gift, please ask the fifth brother to help return it. Mu Qingyao said with a strong smile.

Mu Wenhan still wanted to say more, Mu Qingge pulled his sleeve and shook his head gently.

"Let's talk, I just remembered that there were still some things in my yard, so I went back first." Mu Qingyao didn't wait for Mu Wenhan to speak, and left.

"Qing Yao, this is ......," Mu Wenhan was still dizzy.

"The third sister doesn't like Xue Gongzi." Mu Qingge sighed.

"But, didn't she still like that handhammer just now?" Mu Wenhan frowned.

"Maybe, she thought it was someone else, right?" Mu Qingge thought about Mu Qingyao's attitude just now, and his heart was also solemn, "Brother, on the day of your grandmother's birthday banquet, the third sister met Xue Gongzi." ”

Mu Wenhan thought for a while and said, "It's nothing special, the third prince yelled at me to take him to the garden that day, and Xue An and the others naturally followed." When I arrived at the garden, I happened to meet Qing Yao who was passing by. I introduced a few of them to Qing Yao, and she ...... It's nothing special, but Xue An may have liked Qing Yao at that time, so he asked her a few more words. ”

Mu Wenhan couldn't think of anything special that day.

Mu Qingge thought back in her heart, when she saw Mu Qingyao that day, she still remembered the blush on her face. The same blush she felt when she first heard about her gifts today. After living for two lives, Mu Qingge knew very well that Mu Qingyao's expression showed that she had someone in her heart.

The last time she met her sweetheart, this time, she thought the gift was from her sweetheart. The only people present that day were Shang Qirui, Liu Xianning, Feng Yuming, and Xue An. Judging from today's situation, Xue An is definitely not.

Who could that be? Liu Xianning? Feng Yuming? Or Shang Qirui?

Mu Qingge couldn't think of it, so he didn't tell Mu Wenhan his thoughts. only said: "Brother persuade Xue Gongzi, my sister seems to be unintentional." ”

Although Mu Wenhan was embarrassed, he still headed: "I will return the gift tomorrow, although Xue An is my friend, but Qingyao is my sister." Qing Yao is unwilling, I am naturally on Qing Yao's side...... Actually, Xue An is still good, but it's a pity......"

"My brother has returned all my gifts, don't accept such gifts in the future, although there is nothing to blame. In the end, it is easy to be criticized. ”

Mu Wenhan agreed. He is actually a very polite person, just because one party is a friend, and the other party is his sister. He always hopes that his sister can find a good home, so he will create opportunities for them. But I didn't expect it. It turned out like this.

Gift thing. It's just an episode in a busy life, except for Mu Qingge and a few people, no one else knows.

In a blink of an eye, it was Chinese New Year's Eve. Mu Qingge and the others naturally had to accompany the old lady to keep the New Year. After a while, the old lady let the crowd disperse.

Mu Qingge returned to the Moon Shadow Pavilion and saw that the people in the courtyard were all gathered together to celebrate the New Year, it was very lively, everyone's faces were filled with happy smiles, and they couldn't help but feel a little envious in their hearts.

In modern times, Mu Qingge's Chinese New Year's Eve is generally spent in the hospital. The more festive the holiday, the more accidents there tend to be, and the busier the doctors. came to ancient times, although there was also a large family, but most of these people couldn't give Mu Qingge's family a feeling. Spending time with them is more often like completing a task. So at this time, looking at the simple happiness of these subordinates, I unconsciously envy it.

Mother Qin was about to call those girls to serve, but was stopped by Mu Qingge: "They rarely have a rest all year round, so don't call them." Go and rest with them, for I don't want anyone to serve here." ”

Mother Qin naturally refused to throw Mu Qingge alone, and said with a smile: "The slave maid is old, happy and quiet, so I won't go to sweep their fun, let's accompany my sister." ”

Seeing that Mother Qin was like this, Mu Qingge didn't insist, and the two quietly went back to Mu Qingge's bedroom.

"Sister, I've been tired for a day today, ...... earlier" Mother Qin was halfway through her words, and found that Mu Qingge's face had changed.

He stopped talking and followed her gaze, only to see a beautiful gift box on the dresser. Mother Qin held all the items for Mu Qingge, and naturally understood that this box was not Mu Qingge's.

"Who gave it a gift, right? Just ask them. "Mother Qin didn't think there was anything wrong.

"You go find Poria." Mu Qingge groaned for a moment, she looked very familiar with this box, she should have seen it somewhere, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it for a while.

Poria came soon, and on the way, Qin's mother had already asked her, and when she saw Mu Qingge at this time, she was a little uneasy: "Sister, no one came to look for Sister today, and no one gave gifts to Sister." The slave maid also tidied up her sister's house after dinner, and she didn't find this box yet......"

Mother Qin's face also changed slightly, if it was an ordinary gift, there was naturally no reason to avoid everyone. What's more, someone sneaked into Mu Qingge's bedroom, but no one found out.

"Maybe it's because the other girls have received gifts that are uncertain, or the slave maid will ask again......

"No need." Mu Qingge waved his hand, "I think I know who sent it." ”

Mu Qingge finally remembered that the last time he went to Mu Wenhan, he took out a bunch of gift boxes, which were gifts from others. At that time, there was this box, and I remember that Mu Wenhan was given by the third prince. Later, because of Mu Qingyao's matter, Mu Qingge asked Mu Wenhan to return all the gifts, and he didn't take it to heart, but he didn't expect this box to appear again.

Could it be that Shang Qirui secretly put it here? With Shang Qirui's ability, it is also easy to sneak in without being discovered. But why did he do it?

Hearing that Mu Qingge knew who sent it, Qin's mother didn't know much more. But seeing that Mu Qingge was about to open the box, Mother Qin still stepped forward to stop her: "There may be something in the box, let's open it with a slave." ”

"It's fine." Mu Qingge's hand paused slightly, but he still opened the box.

"Ah......h

Although Mu Qingge didn't scream, his face also shook greatly.

Inside the box was an emerald night pearl the size of a fist, although the light of the night pearl was not obvious because of the candle flame burning in the room. But just looking at its sparkling appearance, I also know that it is worth a lot, no wonder an old man like Qin's mother can't help but marvel.

Mu Qingge once read a book and knew that in Dajin, night pearls were very rare, and basically only the royal family could have them.

There is also a note under the night pearl, Mu Qingge picked it up and looked at it, it said: Since I can't send it by borrowing Mu Gongzi's hand, I have to send it in person.

This is indeed Shang Qirui's handwriting, when he was in Jincheng, Mu Qingge saw Shang Qirui's handwriting. The domineering revealed between the lines also gave Mu Qingge a headache.

What does this wayward prince want to do? Isn't it self-inflicted trouble to put this kind of royal thing here? But if you want to return it to him, how can you return it?

"Sister? This night pearl, but it can only be used by the royal family......" Mother Qin also came back to her senses and said worriedly.

"Put it away first." Mu Qingge said helplessly, she can't go to the Third Prince's Mansion in the middle of the night to retreat, right? Or wait for the New Year, Tom Wenhan will retire.

"How do I register this?" Mother Qin was very embarrassed, all of Mu Qingge's belongings had to be registered.

"You don't have to register." Mu Qingge is a little tired, doesn't registering it mean leaving a handle for people? This night, the pearl always has to be returned to Shang Qirui.

"Yes." Qin's mother agreed and took the Night Pearl and withdrew.

Mu Qingge was just about to speak, when he suddenly heard Qin's mother's voice: "Who is it?" ”

Qingge was startled, Poria had already run out.

When Mu Qingge came out, he didn't see any movement.

"When the slave maid first came out, she saw a figure flashing by...... Maybe the slave maid was wrong and disturbed my sister. Mother Qin was a little uneasy and explained.

Mu Qingge frowned, she had always known that there were people in the Moon Shadow Pavilion who ate inside and outside. It's just a matter of the pearl of the night, which can be light or heavy. If it really gets out, it's not good.

"Anyway, it's already the New Year, Poria, you take the red envelope you prepared earlier, let's take a trip." Mu Qingge groaned for a moment and said to Poria Cocos.

Poria agreed, took the red envelope, and went to the next person's room with Mu Qingge. Everyone was having fun, and when they saw Mu Qingge coming, they hurriedly got up and saluted. I heard that I was here to send a red envelope, and I was very happy.

After such a circle, Mu Qingge found that the people in the courtyard were all there, but Tingxue was missing.

Could it be that the figure just now was listening to the snow? Mu Qingge couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, she knew in her heart that there was something wrong with Xue. It was only because he wanted to find out the specific conspiracy of the master behind Tingxue that Mu Qingge endured listening to Xue. Under Mu Qingge's deliberate unfair treatment recently, Tingxue has exposed more and more horses' feet. (To be continued...... ）
