163. Gifts
When Rong Qiaoyan returned to the courtyard, Aunt Shuang was already waiting in the main hall.
She looked at the sumptuous breakfast on the table, and said disapprovingly: "Why should my aunt waste this money? The breakfast in the portion is very good. ”
Hearing this, Aunt Shuang, thinking about her daughter who seemed to have become a fan of wealth for most of the year, said with a smile: "On weekdays, I won't add money to make some delicious food in the big kitchen." Today, but your birthday, make an exception once. ”
Rong Qiaoyan listened to this, looked at the food that had already arrived on the round table, and didn't say more, but called Aunt Shuang to eat together.
After breakfast, after everyone retreated, Aunt Shuang took Rong Qiaoyan's hand and sat on the couch.
"On your birthday today, my aunt gave you a birthday gift, you must like it."
Rong Qiaoyan heard Aunt Shuang say that she had a birthday gift, so she took it for granted that it was jewelry.
She wanted to say that it was a bit wasteful-------------- after all, jewelry is expensive when you buy it, and you have to discount it when you sell it.
However, Rong Qiaoyan looked at Aunt Shuang, who was full of love, and swallowed her words.
That's it, that's it, this is my aunt's intention.
Aunt Shuang looked at Rong Qiaoyan, who was at ease in front of her, and couldn't help but stroke her hair.
There's no sense of barrier at all, but it's wonderful.
Aunt Shuang sighed with emotion, and pushed a box that had been placed on the couch table to Rong Qiaoyan's hand.
Rong Qiaoyan planned to pick up the box and open it, but she took it casually, but she didn't take it?
She couldn't help but be a little curious, what kind of jewelry is so heavy that she can't hold it with one hand, can she still wear it on her head?
Rong Qiaoyan's puzzled look was completely manifested in front of Aunt Shuang, which made her unable to help but smile.
"Don't take it, just open it and take a look." Aunt Shuang said with a smile.
Rong Qiaoyan obediently opened the box directly and saw the golden barley with four patterns in it.
"This, this is?"
Rong Qiaoyan's eyes widened in surprise, she reached out and picked up a persimmon-patterned golden barley, and carefully looked at the small words at the bottom: "This is three taels of gold with excellent color, and my aunt specially asked someone to fight it?" ”
"My aunt knows that what you need is money. So the trustee beat these four golden barleys. Auntie, I wish you peace and joy in the future, and all the best. You're going to take it. ”
After Aunt Shuang finished eagerly, she showed the four golden barley to Rong Qiaoyan one by one.
This golden barley is made very delicately, one is in the shape of a treasure vase, and the other is in the shape of a smiling Buddha. One is in the shape of a persimmon and the other is in the shape of a wishful heart.
They mean peace and joy, and everything goes well!
She is useless, and she doesn't know how to help her daughter come up with an idea to escape, but she also knows that she needs money no matter what.
She gave her money to her daughter before, but her daughter didn't want it, so she kept it.
Now, she gave her daughter the monthly, rewards, and the like for the year, in the name of a birthday gift.
This barley is easy to carry and can be used.
Rong Qiaoyan listened to Aunt Shuang's words, and finally couldn't hold back.
She has been bothering to plan, but because her knowledge is limited after all, she can't think of a better way.
However, she now knows that someone is supporting her and does not say that what she is doing is useless.
This support is far more important than money.
"Auntie, it's better for you to keep your body. Money matters, I'll think about it. You just need to live as you used to be, and no one will see you as different, even if you help me. ”
After wiping away her tears, Rong Qiaoyan said in a low voice to Aunt Shuang's ear.
"It's useless for me to keep these coins, but you might as well use them in a big place. Let's go later... ”
Aunt Frost looked around, but still didn't continue.
But Rong Qiaoyan already understood what Aunt Shuang meant, and she definitely wanted to keep it as a coil or something after she went out.
My aunt didn't know that she was thinking about making money so that her life would not be poor in the future, so she just thought that she was going to use these to make entanglements.
Rong Qiaoyan calmed down her emotions.
Anyway, no matter who owns the money, it will be spent on the two of them after all.
Rong Qiaoyan talked to Aunt Shuang, and when she saw that it was almost time to go to school, she put away all her things, and then called someone to come in and serve.
It was Miaozhi and Mama Yang who came in.
After Miaozhi came in, she told the eldest lady that today was Rong Qiaoyan's birthday, so she suspended class once to let Rong Qiaoyan relax and relax.
"Miss, since the eldest lady has stopped class, do you have to make a scene and invite all the young ladies to have a meal?"
Mama Yang smiled and suggested to Rong Qiaoyan.
After all, it's Rong Qiaoyan's birthday, and she should have a treat.
But......
Rong Qiaoyan and Aunt Shuang glanced at each other.
Now that the money is tight, and she still has to do this kind of senseless treat, Rong Qiaoyan is unwilling to do it.
"No need," Rong Qiaoyan said with a smile, "I've always been nervous about money, everyone knows it." Besides, because of the banquet on the tenth day of the new year, several sisters are annoyed with me, even if they are invited, they will not be invited. ”
When Mama Yang thought of this, she couldn't help but pat her head.
Yes, she had forgotten about it.
Because of the banquet two days later, those young ladies were eager to eat their own young ladies, how could they come to celebrate their birthdays?
And Miss Chang, Miss Four, and Miss Seven, the two of them have eyes above the top, and they don't care about their own miss.
Now, neither Mrs. Tai nor Mrs. Eldest has sent a message to Miss Six to hold a birthday party, and those young ladies have even more reason not to come.
Rong Qiaoyan saw that she had saved an unnecessary expense, and her heart became happy.
"Miaozhi, you take some money to add some food and drinks to the big kitchen. In the evening, the people in our yard can be lively. ”
Rong Qiaoyan smiled and instructed Miaozhi.
Forget the sisters who don't need to be invited, but the work in this yard is still a dedicated subordinate, and it still needs to be rewarded.
Because there is no need to go to school, Aunt Shuang also stayed in Xingruoyuan to accompany Rong Qiaoyan.
In the evening, I had a lively dinner.
After dinner, Rong Qiaoyan personally sent Aunt Shuang back to her yard.
On the way back, Rong Qiaoyan looked at the light of the candles in the lantern and the moonlight was hazy, and her mood improved.
"Sixth Miss, stay."
Suddenly, behind the big tree on the side of the road, a figure walked out, so frightened that Rong Qiaoyan and Miaozhi almost screamed.
"It's me." The figure quickly stepped forward and covered Rong Qiaoyan's mouth.
The other black shadow was skillfully covering Miaozhi's mouth and dragging it away.
Rong Qiaoyan listened to the voice a little familiar, she slowed down, and looked at it, it was actually Mu Yunzheng.
"Mu Shizi, what do you mean by this?" Rong Qiaoyan suppressed her voice and asked angrily.
It's on the way! On the road!
Even though it's night, there's no guarantee that a patrolling mother-in-law will pass by.
Mu Yunzheng saw Rong Qiaoyan's anger, and quickly explained: "My people have been cleared, and no one will come over for the time being." ”
"Mu Shizi said something quickly." The angry Rong Qiaoyan didn't want to be polite.
"Today is your birthday, I wish you eternal succession. This is my birthday gift to you. ”
Looking at the angry Rong Qiaoyan, Mu Yunzheng hurriedly handed her the brocade box containing the gift.
