Chapter 381: A Special Gift

Ziqing was wearing jewelry with her daughters, and when she heard that there were gifts coming, Ziqing was stunned, and suddenly her head was a little big, who else? Or was it delivered by a horse-drawn carriage? Lin Kangping went outside to welcome people into the garden, and several people carried things into the hall. Xiao Fan and Xiao Lu carried it into the West House where Ziqing and the ladies were staying.

Mrs. Fu hugged Yanran and said with a smile: "Let's go, take a look, what other good things haven't we seen?" ”

The person who came was from the Wen family, and it was actually accompanied by the shopkeeper Zhou, Lin Kangping accompanied the shopkeeper Zhou to eat tea in the hall, back then, the shopkeeper Zhou came to participate in Lin Kangping's marriage and marriage as Lin Kangping's elder, and now he is quite relieved to see Lin Kangping put down this big business, and sighs that he is old.

Let's say that Ziqing saw that Mrs. Fu and Mrs. Xia were curious, so she had to open the box, in addition to a set of gold and silver collars, the rest was the six ends of the ceremony, the sachet and purse, the pile of flowers, jade pendants, jade and ivory small objects and other colorful gadgets, Xiao Fan said, there are ten catties of high-quality silver silk noodles outside.

Mrs. Fu picked up a jade pig and said with a smile: "This gift is still chic, look, the water head of this jade is really good, and the carving is exquisite. ”

Mrs. Xia was also surprised, wasn't Lin Kangping a little guy who only came out of the Wen family? Why did the Wen family specially celebrate the birthday of the Lin family's children, and look at this birthday gift?

What kind of magic does this Ziqing family have, even Mrs. Fu maintains it? Baba rushing to give gifts? Lord Fu entered Beijing this time, and did not get the opportunity to be promoted, but Lord Xia, although he did not have the opportunity to enter Beijing to face the saint, this time after the New Year, he finally put forward a state judgment of Anzhou Mansion, which is a seventh grade, which should be related to the recommendation of Zifu and Master Fu, so Mrs. Xia should be closer to the Zeng family of the Fu family.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Xia smiled and said, "I have come to my wife's house so many times, and I have never been to Ziqing's garden once. Today is coming. But if you want to take a good stroll, as soon as you enter the garden, you will see the flowers in the garden, and the breath you exhale is a fragrance of flowers. ”

"It's true, I came that spring. was also dazzled by the flowers in the garden, Ziqing still had to give me a peony, but I was reluctant to let her cut it. Mrs. Fu said with a smile.

When Ziqing heard this, she had to greet Mrs. Fu and Mrs. Xia, as well as the Shen family and several aunts. Several aunts didn't want to accompany them, mainly because they felt restrained, Qiu Yu also waved her hand and said: "I won't go, I come more than ten times a year, which one is not familiar?" Shall I hold the baby for you? ”

Passing by the gate of Zhuyuan, seeing that there were still people living inside, Mrs. Xia was very puzzled. Ziqing saw and explained: "Mr. Liang was invited from Anzhou City, teaching children piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I am a country girl who doesn't know anything, now my life is more relaxed, I want my children to learn more things, don't be like their parents, except for the village girl is a rough man, I am really ashamed to see people." ”

Mrs. Fu smiled and said, "You're not laughing at me, are you?" Except for Mrs. Xia, we are all from small families. ”

Mrs. Xia listened and hurriedly said, "Madame is joking." If the lady comes from a small family. We are not as good as Bo Zuo's humble family, don't you say? ”

When Ziqing heard it, this Mrs. Xia really read some books, and her speech was not vulgar, although she was a little shrewd and snobbish, she was not bad, and she really loved Ziyu, something else. The Zeng family is not demanding.

Mrs. Fu wants to rest in the gazebo. Ziqing hurriedly instructed Xiao Fan to prepare tea and snacks, and the lotus leaves had completely grown at this time. The whole pool was crowded, but the lotus flowers were not yet visible.

Mrs. Fu looked at the lotus leaf and said, "I heard that the dew on this lotus leaf can be used to make tea, why don't you try it someday?" I have eaten the snow on the plum blossoms and swept it down to cook tea, and the taste is really good, with a fragrance of plum blossoms. ”

Ziqing laughed when she heard this, she is really a rough person, she can't taste tea, she was born in a small family in her previous life, where is the opportunity to taste tea with spare money, in this life, there was no such condition at the beginning, and when she had that condition, Ziqing's taste was already qualitative, and she couldn't taste good tea.

"If Madame wants to taste it, tomorrow I will send someone to collect this dew and send it to Madame, I will not pretend to be so elegant, if you want to say whether the food is delicious or not, I can still say one or two, this tea, but I really don't understand." Ziqing said with a smile.

Shen Shi also smiled when she heard this: "My daughter, she has been a foodie since she was a child, and she loves to eat game, like a soil frog, yellow eel, loach, soft-shelled turtle, etc., there is nothing she doesn't love when she swims in the water, but unfortunately, she can't fly in the sky, otherwise, she will be caught and eaten." ”

Mrs. Fu smiled and said, "Really? I have to try it today, I have never seen these things in the past, but I heard from the two boys in my family, how good the taste is, so I will try it today. ”

When Ziqing heard this, this was a bit difficult, and the yellow eel said that the earth frog couldn't find it for a while, so he called Xiao Fan and sent Lin Miao to the bazaar or village to look for it.

Fortunately, several big fish have been prepared yesterday, which will come in handy, there are steamed, braised food, spicy, spicy, and I have instructed Xiao Zi to make them.

Everyone was eating tea and laughing on the gazebo, and suddenly, Mrs. Xia looked at the path into the courtyard from the gate and said, "Ziqing, it seems that your family has come to give gifts again." ”

Ziqing looked at it, but no, it was still the person who looked like the housekeeper of the Xiao Yi family who came last time, and Lin Mai led him in. Ziqing really has a headache, I made it clear to this little kid last time, don't give gifts casually in the future, a seven or eight-year-old little broken child, quite persistent. However, Ziqing forgot that Ren Xiaoyi didn't say that Yanran was his daughter-in-law, but kept calling her sister and sister.

"Hey, someone came straight here." Mrs. Fu said.

Ziqing looked at it, no, Lin Mai didn't know what to say, the housekeeper-like person ran directly to the pontoon bridge, Ziqing had to stand up, stood by the steps to greet him, and when the person came to Ziqing, he bowed his head and said hello, and raised a scroll in his hand respectfully with both hands, and said: "Madam, this is what our little master specially wrote for the birthday of your daughter, and there is also a letter." ”

Ziqing took it, opened the letter first, and when I saw it, it was still Xiaoyi's pen, to the effect that he received Ziqing's return gift last time, and he was very happy, especially the clothes that Ziqing sewed for him by himself, and he remembered Ziqing's words, and did not use the family's property to celebrate Yanran's birthday at will, so he specially wrote a few words by himself. Also, the things that were sent last time were actually left to him by his mother, and his mother died of illness not long after giving birth to him, and his mother's dowry was left to him and his sister, and someone took care of it for him, so let Ziqing not have to worry. However, in the end, he also said that he should listen to Ziqing's words and become a self-reliant person when he grows up.

Ziqing read the letter for a long time before she understood the meaning, and it is estimated that Xiaoyi knew that Ziqing didn't like to read ancient sayings, so she specially changed it to the vernacular.

Ziqing asked Xiaofen to take the visitor to the hall for tea, but the visitor stood still.

Mrs. Xia on the side smiled and said, "Ziqing, quickly open this calligraphy and painting, let's see which of your true works?" ”

"Where, it's just a child's work, not everyone." Ziqing replied, suddenly glanced at the guest who hadn't left, the other party glanced at Ziqing, and said, "Madam, just call our housekeeper." ”

Ziqing's housekeeper also meant to let Ziqing open the package in person, but she was afraid that there would be something to say for the other party to take back, Mrs. Fu also saw the other party's intention, and made fun on the side, Ziqing was also a little curious about what the child wrote, opened it and saw that it was a banner, which had been framed, and there was only one sentence "Yanran smiled and a hundred flowers were late", Ziqing searched in her mind for a long time, as if she remembered where it was a song, and she couldn't remember the specifics.

"It's really a child's word, although it's a little immature, but it can also be seen that it took a lot of thought." Mrs. Fu said.

"Well, Steward Fang, thank you for me, your little master, I'll go back and hang it up and put it in the little girl's room. Does your little master still have anything to say? Ziqing asked.

Steward Fang listened to what Ziqing said and hung the text in Yanran's room, and said happily: "No, I will definitely convey my wife's words when I go back." The little master must be very happy to know it, the little master practiced these words, but it took a few days. ”

"Yo, this gift is really light and affectionate, and now the child is really a little ghost, just a good word, not only to please the master, but also to save his face and heart." Mrs. Xia joked with a smile.

Mrs. Xia mainly heard Ziqing say that the other party was a child, and she was reluctant to spend money, so she had to write a picture by herself, Ziqing also took it very seriously, and the other party obviously had a good impression of Yanran, Mrs. Xia thought of her grandson, and couldn't help but be a little sour, this person is sour, annoyed, and anxious, and it is easy to say the wrong thing.

"Gifts are not limited to anything, as long as the heart is there, it is rare. Steward Fang must have been working hard all the way, follow my maid to have a cup of tea, my father-in-law is in the hall to entertain guests, I will prepare some things for you to bring to Xiao Yi when you go back. Ziqing said hurriedly, for fear that Steward Fang would not look good, and she would be really annoyed, it was estimated that Mrs. Xia would have to walk around, for Ziyu's sake, Ziqing would not let Steward Fang turn her face.

However, Ziqing really didn't guess Mrs. Xia's thoughts, and the main Ziqing didn't have the heart to guess, when she heard that Xiaoyi's mother was gone, her compassion was overflowing, no wonder that when Ziqing touched Shuyu at Ziqing's house, her face was full of longing, it turned out that she lacked her mother's caress since she was a child.

Steward Fang paused and said, "Actually, there is still a cart of gifts outside, and the master is afraid that you will be angry, so he said, send the text panel first, it is specially for Miss Ling's birthday." The gift outside the door is the Duanyang Festival gift for the wife in advance, we will no longer come alone, and, the master said, don't worry, Mrs., in the future, our little master will treat the wife as his aunt, and the nephew should be filial to some aunts. ”

Just kidding, this aunt is so easy to do? Ziqing didn't even understand the origin of the other party, she didn't even know her surname, and she was aunt, aunt's, Ziqing thought she just called casually. (To be continued.)
