Chapter 157: Thank you
Xie Rongzhao grinned expressionlessly, is this praising her?
She has practiced calligraphy for almost two years more than Xie Ronglang, and now she says that she writes better than Xie Ronglang, and she has no sense of accomplishment.
Xie Rongzhao went back to the inner courtyard in a huff, while Xie Zhou was left behind to take the school homework.
Liu Ruolan and Gu were both making clothes in the house, and when it was cold, the house was already burning, but Gu was not good at doing things in the master's house like the hostess, so they moved to the outer room.
Liu Ruolan thought that it would be good for someone to talk together, so she simply asked Sister-in-law Wang to get a charcoal basin outside, and the two of them guarded it, so that it was not cold to work, and their hands and feet were hot.
As soon as Xie Rongzhao entered the house, before he could say a few words, Douzi trotted all the way over to deliver the message.
"Madam, Miss, the people from the Prestige Marquis Mansion have sent a cart of gifts, saying that they are to thank Miss. The lord asked you and the young lady to go ahead. ”
"Got it."
Gu also put away his things and helped Liu Ruolan to walk out.
The yard they rented did not have a wind and rain corridor, otherwise there would not have been such a cheap rent, and there were only roads paved with waste bricks and some old stones in the yard, and the rest of the place was dirt, some were planted with trees, and some places were still empty.
When the three of them arrived in the front yard, they saw two large boxes in the main hall, and a few small boxes were placed on the high table.
Xie Xiuwen didn't touch these things, and when they came, he sent someone to open them and take a look.
"The people from the prestige mansion brought the things in and left, I didn't bother to say a few more words, but fortunately, Fang Hu was clever and handed a purse to the steward."
In fact, to be more precise, it should be Xie Xiuwen who was prescient, and earlier for the sake of some personal contacts in the family, he stuffed ten taels of silver into Fang Hu's place, and told him that if someone came over, remember not to lose his manners.
This time, it really worked.
Xie Xiuwen didn't pay much attention to these things before, but now he has to learn to adapt to it, and he can't go back and rely on others to remedy it.
Xie Rongzhao first looked at the small box placed on the high table, Xie Zhou picked her up and put her on the chair, and then opened the box for her to see.
"Auntie, most of the things in this small box are some jewelry, I don't think I need it, it should be prepared for you, right?"
Liu Ruolan glanced twice: "These are for children at first glance, and they were specially given to you, but I see that they are still brand new, maybe they were specially made for you." ”
Liu Ruolan really guessed correctly, it was indeed the people from the Gao family who called Yinlou to come and choose it two days ago.
The two large boxes on the ground were also opened one after another, and one of them contained fabrics and ready-to-wear clothes.
"Yo, madam, look, this color is really bright, our young lady will definitely look festive and beautiful when she wears it. And the head here is high-quality cotton, which feels different. ”
As Gu spoke, he motioned for Liu Ruolan to come and touch it as well.
This kind of thing, men really can't tell whether it's good or bad.
Liu Ruolan took it in her hand and rubbed it a few times, and pinched the thickness, which is indeed good.
Gu Shi carefully checked it: "Madam, these are two sets of winter clothes, and two pieces of fine materials, which are beautiful and thick, and they are probably also prepared for Miss." ”
Liu Ruolan nodded: "That's fine, but it saves me from making clothes for the good baby." ”
She is now making winter clothes for Xie Xiuwen, although there are a few of them that she wears, but the winter in the north is too cold, and if she goes out, she has to wear thicker clothes.
Douzi also opened the other box, Xie Xiuwen just glanced at it lightly, and then stopped paying attention.
The box is also full of some very practical objects, including small hand stoves, incense burners and some small ornaments.
"Auntie, there are two hand stoves here, Daddy, is it cold in your study? Do you want to use one? ”
Xie Xiuwen smiled: "No, there is a charcoal basin in Daddy's house, it's not cold." And Daddy has a hand stove. ”
Xie Rongzhao pouted: "Daddy, it's been used for a few years, it's old, use this, give me the old one." I don't use much anyway. ”
Gu smiled knowingly: "The old lady is so blessed, the young lady is so filial, and the blessings will last forever." ”
I have to say that this Gu clan is really good at talking, no wonder it only took a few days to coax Liu Ruolan to like her.
Xie Rongzhao rummaged through a delicate small incense burner, he didn't understand it very well, and then looked at a few more in the box that were also incense burners, and there was a box, which was a complete set of tools, Xie Rongzhao didn't understand it very well, he had made incense in his previous life, but he had never used such a high-level play.
"I think Zhao Shizi wants you to learn more things in the future, and you can't just think about running outside all day long. There are also a few books here, you can read more in the future, if you don't understand it, you can come to me. ”
"Got it, Daddy." Xie Rongzhao's original enthusiasm suddenly dissipated.
How do you feel cheated by Zhao Yue?
Liu Ruolan's heart moved: "After the New Year, it won't take a few months for the good baby to be seven years old, and then I have to learn some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, we also came to the capital, it's not good for a little girl to learn nothing, only read and write." ”
Xie Rongzhao sighed and said, "Auntie, it's so difficult to read and write!" ”
When everyone saw her little expression, they were all very happy, and it was really rare to see such a look on her face.
After receiving so many things from others, do you want to return the gift?
Xie Xiuwen pondered for a moment: "Don't rush to return the gift, they should have sent these over to thank the teacup that Ganbao threw out casually." Besides, these gifts are not very valuable, so you can accept them with peace of mind. Before the New Year's Festival, let's prepare another generous gift. ”
Liu Ruolan listened, her eyes widened slightly, hearing this meaning, in the future, she will go around with the prestige marquis mansion as a relative?
Xie Xiuwen saw her reaction and knew that she had guessed it.
"Don't worry, Zhao Shizi is the emperor's confidant, let's make friends with him, and we won't suffer in the future. Besides, we did have a fate with him early on, so it can be regarded as destined. ”
"Yes, I get it. It's just, what are we going to give for the Boxing Festival that year? ”
Liu Ruolan has a lot of silver on hand, and besides, a portal like the Prestige Hou Mansion has a few hundred taels of gifts, but I am afraid that people will not look down on it.
"There's no hurry, it's still early, let me think about it again."
"Okay, can I remind her again?"
Xie Xiuwen shook his head: "No need, this child is smart, she knows it in her own heart." Besides, Zhao Shizi likes her, mainly because of her innocence and cuteness, if we adults intervene, let Zhao Shizi see that there are traces of adult teaching, I am afraid that it will cause trouble.
