Chapter 135: Gift Acceptance

Interrupted from his thoughts, Zhou Banxia followed the direction of Xiaohe and looked at the boxy burden that he had just taken out and placed on the chair that had not yet been untied.

is not on the gift list, it should be that the little sisters mentioned in the letter learned that she was married, and bought fashionable hair flowers in the capital to "add makeup" to her.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven...... Ten boxes, Xiaohe is worried, "Sister, there are ten people in your little sisters, they are far away, and they don't get together to get married, how should you return the gift?" ”

Zhou Banxia couldn't help but wonder, "Ten boxes don't mean ten people." According to the old column, when a sister in the yard gets married, even the little maid will add makeup.

There are eight big maids around the old lady, plus more second- and third-class maids.

In the past, if they wanted to get married, they usually spent three or five taels of silver to let the big stove room in the house send two tables of noodles, and when they were thanks, they just invited the little sisters to eat.

Next, let's talk about friendship, after all, there are not many people like my sister who go out of the house to marry, no, I'll tell you what the people in the maid are doing. ”

Xiaohe giggled, put his little hands behind his back, and walked to the study in four directions.

When he reached out to the door of the room, he saw that one person was in front of the first case, and one person was looking down at the kang table to flip through the book, he immediately put down his little hand and quietly went to the kang.

Take out the books from the bookbag on the kang, move them to sit cross-legged opposite Gu Wenxuan, put the books on the two aligned kang tables, and start reading.

The villain shook his head and read silently without making a sound, Zhou Banxia couldn't help but smile and put down the door curtain lifted in his hand, poured back to the front of the cage and continued to dig out the bottom of the box.

There are fewer large and small boxes, and the cotton sandwiched in them is removed, and there are not many things at the bottom of the box at this time, and the thick layer of black oil paper is removed, which is the six large pieces wrapped in oil paper.

There is a book written on the gift list.

Although it is also not specified how many books there are, it is not as surprising as the previous box of books that are almost all from high family studies.

However, Zhou Banxia tore open the oil paper, as expected.

One of the sets of Zhu Ziji's notes, the small characters marked on the page are different from the set of the Gao family's learning, plus the set given by Mrs. Qian There are three things.

Flipping through one of the collections of essays, there are a few repetitions, but what is also rare and valuable is that the small words below each essays are very material.

Roughly flipped through it, it was really the same as Mrs. Qian, if you don't give a copy, you won't give a copy, and if you give it, it's a fine book, and even the Five Classics are complete.

It is easy to come up with such a precious book in a short period of time, even if there are special scholars in the house who have been copying books, it is also rare.

It is no wonder that since the generation of Gao Daren abandoned Wu Congwen, he was able to smoothly transform from Wuxun to Wenchen, not without roots.

It's just, why do you look at her differently? If you want to say that you can still be meritorious because of the protector before, but you left the house, married low, and have this treatment, it is obviously too much.

Zhou Banxia really couldn't figure it out.

Obviously, the reward given before leaving the house was all according to the practice of the house, at most, the old lady privately added a silver ticket with a denomination of one hundred taels of silver for her to hide.

But now, from the return gift to the dowry, and then to these things, it is far beyond imagination, and it is all about the human favor that goes in the open.

She is married, and she is not looking for a husband with a big background, and she doesn't want anything worth investing in.

Like Mrs. Qian, she is favored by the old lady because of her, but the old lady, don't try anything.

To say that it is ugly, it is really necessary to be exiled from her home one day, not to mention a small person like her two children, even the old lady and the old man can't bear it.

She can be 100% sure that she is definitely her father's mother's own, there is no possibility of being replaced, and her father and mother are not the posthumous daughter of the former prince.

The foreign family and the husband's family are all natives, and the stable mothers who deliver babies are all from various villages, even the only mother-in-law with a suspicious background.

Recently, I have also touched the bottom.

Ancestral home of Wuchang Mansion.

His grandfather, a grain merchant, was involved in the dispute between the rights and interests of the thousand households and the prefect at that time, and although he was not convicted of being pushed out as cannon fodder, it was not much better.

It is said that on the day when his grandfather died, he almost died of Grandpa Liu, the second son, and even the patriarch of the Liu clan did not dare to say a word.

No, the father's debt was repaid by the son, and the mother-in-law fled here with her parents and brother. Twenty-three years have passed, and the Liu family still does not dare to return to their ancestral land.

It is said that Grandpa Liu also has a younger brother, and the three brothers took advantage of the chaos to flee when they got the letter, but they have not been contacted so far, and they should have been retribution for their father.

This person, everything is not easy to mix, there are floods in the local area, and a grain merchant dares to mix blindly without honesty, but he will not harm the future generations.

Therefore, it is 100% impossible for the old lady to look at her differently because of her life experience! What else can be left? Zhou Banxia was puzzled.

While pondering, he carried the box back to the inner room, and then took out the pen of Honeysuckle, and the letter dictated by the old lady came out, and read it carefully and carefully.

In the end, I still didn't find the answer. No matter what, what do you like, what's the matter, after all, you have to wait until you see Mama Zhou, the righteous brother, it's useless to break your head at this time.

Shaking his head and stepping into the storage room, Zhou Banxia subconsciously glanced at the door again - the curtain was lowered, and a wooden box leaning against the wall was removed.

Squatting down and pushing a stone slatted slab in the far corner, there was a half-sized hole in which there was a wooden box without a lid, and boxes of different sizes in the box.

Take out a wooden box and open it, and there is another box inside, but this box is not a wooden box, to be precise, it is an iron box.

There are land deeds and land deeds in the iron box, and then put the three shop deeds and three lease deeds in today's house, cover the lid and put it back in place.

Zhou Banxia clapped his hands, and then put the money bag that Gu Erzhu gave to Gu Wenxuan before coming back into a large money box on the side.

When it was my turn to put two wild ginseng in the box, I hesitated, took out one, and put it in the box. Lest he was not at home one day, Gu Wenxuan couldn't find him if he needed it urgently.

It's hard to say whether these tonic products have curative effects, the conditions are good in the previous life, it's not that they are used less, but I really don't think it has much effect.

Of course, it has a lot to do with busy work and high pressure, but wild ginseng is a real life-saver.

In the past, I was fortunate enough to buy half a century-old ginseng through the hands of a medicinal herb merchant, although it cost a lot of money, but the effect was immediate, and I saw that a person who was about to freeze to death had a ruddy face.

It's a pity that half a ginseng seems to be not small, and there are more slices cut out, but it is not used very much, a few slices for the elderly and frail parents, a few slices for friends who can't push the door, and then use it for their own two people, and it will be gone in less than three years.

Later, when the climate was even more wrong, I wanted to buy it again, not to mention the century-old wild ginseng, and even the ginseng that was artificially planted for more than 50 years could not be bought at a sky-high price.
