The next day, Niu Fengzhen and Niu Dazhu still left early, but Li Yao did not rush to the town, but arrived at Li Qiaohui's house first. Bookmark this site

The Dong family's banquet only started at noon, and she had nothing to do when she arrived in town early.

"Aunt Li, have you prepared a congratulatory gift for Mrs. Dong?" Li Yao and Li Qiaohui sat in the courtyard chatting.

"Ready, a few years ago, I came all the way from Kyoto to here, and I happened to meet a pair of calligraphy and paintings by Master Liang on the way, so I paid for it and gave it to the old lady to celebrate her birthday. Since we're here together, it's enough to prepare a congratulatory gift. ”

Li Qiaohui thought that Li Yao had not prepared a congratulatory gift, thinking that they would attend at the same time, and when the time came, it would be said that they would be a family, and it would not be rude for one person to give a congratulatory gift, and besides, Master Liang's calligraphy and painting were hard to find, and her gift was a heavy gift.

"That's not possible, the Dong family invited you, and invited me alone, I have to give a gift, I'm ready." As she spoke, Li Yao took out a ginseng that had been dug out of the space in the morning from the bamboo basket she was carrying.

This ginseng has been raised in her space for more than ten days, and it has grown up a little, during which Li Yao saw that two ginseng plants had blossomed and set seeds, and the seeds were left and planted.

Li Qiaohui took the ginseng in Li Yao's hand and looked at it, and said with some surprise: "This ginseng looks like it's not shallow, it should be forty or fifty years, right?" ”

"I can't tell how many years there are, but it should be enough for a birthday gift." Li Yao would not look at the number of years of ginseng, she felt that this ginseng had grown almost big, and the birthday gift was definitely enough.

Originally, Li Yao planned to give a pheasant, hare, mountain mushroom and other game as a birthday gift, and then she couldn't send a basket of eggs or two watermelons or something, anyway, she was poor, and going to celebrate her birthday was to show her heart, and she could get by by giving these things.

But who knew that Dong Tianyou gave her so much silk yesterday, and Li Yao estimated that at least one hundred taels of silver would ruin Dong's cloth village, so she didn't want to go, so she dug up a ginseng from the space.

The growth cycle of wild ginseng is long, and the older the year, the more precious the ginseng is, but where is the hundred-year-old ginseng so good, the ginseng of these forty or fifty years is also a small treasure, and one hundred and eighty taels of silver is always worth it.

"Of course it's okay to use this ginseng as a birthday gift, but you won't just send it away, right?" Li Qiaohui saw Li Yao casually throwing the ginseng in the basket, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.

Seeing Li Yao looking at her suspiciously, Li Qiaohui shook her head a little helplessly, and called Niu Qiao'er to find a wooden box from her room, and then carefully removed the soil on the ginseng, wrapped it in a brocade hand, and put it in the wooden box.

Li Yao looked at her new gift, this package, she immediately looked tall and noble, she smiled and flattered Li Qiaohui and said: "Aunt Li is still smart and skillful, this ginseng looks valuable when it is packaged." ”

Li Qiaohui nodded Li Yao's head amusedly, and then saw that Li Yao was still wearing coarse cloth clothes this time, and said after thinking of something: "I can't wear such a cold dress to a banquet today." ”

As he spoke, he pulled Li Yao into the room.

A few days ago, she helped Li Yao make clothes, two sets of single dresses have been made, and she also made a new pair of shoes for Li Yao.
