The person did not enter. Zhao Zhang went out for a while and returned with a big gift.

Xie Jingxi looked at the embroidered box and knew that it would not be light. She thought to herself that she had gifted him to him just in time, just in time for Gu Xiaoyu to grab him. Opening the brocade box, she saw a night pearl the size of a round ball embedded with a golden ornamental base of the Eastern Pearl. It was so bright that one could hardly see it in broad daylight.

”What a fitting gift.” Feng Dong evaluated, ”Thousand Golden Pearl.”

Boss Feng was used to seeing good things, but seeing that his expression was calm, Liu Tong could tell from a glance that this was not something he could comment on, so he kept silent, knowing what was in his eyes.

The two of them were well-mannered and didn't ask about what should be asked, but once the bead was opened, regardless of whether they had seen it or not, they both knew that this thing wasn't something that could be given to an ordinary person.

remembered that there was only one bead in His Majesty's hands, and when the Eastern Ocean paid tribute to him in the first few years, its size was even larger than before. The ministers and officials of the imperial court were all shocked and came up with ideas to place it on top of the glass in the hall. After many discussions, the His Majesty decided to grind it into a round bead that was the size of a small bead, and set it on a more dazzling base than the bead itself, and use it as a display item in the study.

Gu Yun had seen it a few times, so he would naturally have seen it before. As a result, he subconsciously thought of it as not a good thing, and he even had some doubts about the beauty of the His Majesty. A letter was delivered with the pearl, Gu Yun put it away without even looking at it, then casually placed the pearl on the mat, preparing to play with it for her daughter.

But Gu Xiaoyu was obviously not interested in the pearl that was as big as her head, after looking at it for a bit, she turned her gaze away, and continued to stubbornly go for the jade abacus.

Xie Jingxi had long seen that she was interested in the little abacus, and although it was hard for the little fellow to move forward, her goal was clear. In the middle of all the other things, she saw the jade abacus and wanted to take it with all her might.

Gu Xiaoyu was a resilient girl who refused to admit defeat, and she had a bottom line for wailing and acting like a spoiled child. She didn't plan to do this sort of thing, so she stuttered as she climbed to her feet and fell to the ground.

The little girl also had the little girl's request, and only if she got it would she get it. What she got was also interesting, she was very pleased that Gu Xiaoyu was born with this kind of look and awareness, and did not cry with her from the start to the end.

But this distance was still a bit too far for her, she could not crawl freely, and that was the limit. After Gu Yun placed the pearl in front of her eyes, she could barely touch it.

Gu Yun gradually moved from the bead's matter to Gu Xiaoyu, but he could not see how she did it either. The bead fell to the ground with a 'peng', causing the small abacus to hit the ground, but luckily the bead and abacus were not broken, and Gu Xiaoyu herself was already exhausted, lying on the ground without strength.

was just about to pick up the abacus from the ground, but just as she was about to grab it, Xie Xiaojiu suddenly ran over and grabbed the abacus with his mouth. With a thump, she ran to Gu Xiaoyu's side with the abacus and placed the Jade Abacus in his mouth next to her hand. Without even thinking, Gu Xiaoyu grabbed the abacus and smiled towards Xie Jingxi in satisfaction.

Xie Jingxi was also surprised, she took one step ahead of her and carried the little girl, trying to take the little abacus in her hands. Unexpectedly, the moment they touched, Gu Xiaoyu started to wail and cry, Gu Yun was happy, ”You immediately became a miser and picked out a good item to take, it's something that only ghosts and spirits can take.”

”Girls are smart and won't lose out.” Feng Dong laughed and said, ”This child is born with great luck.”

Yes, who knew that it would be Xie Xiaojiu who would help her get the abacus in the end? However, Xie Jingxi was very clear in her heart, that such a cowardly fellow like Xie Xiaojiu, if there was no one willing to order him around, how could he suddenly become so excited? She smiled at Zou Ling who was standing behind him the entire time, and everything went without her saying.

Gu Xiaoyu was excited for an entire day and slept soundly in the night. This was the first time her parents were able to quietly sit down and whisper to each other. Since there was no nurse at home, the little guy had always been sleeping in their room.

”It's been a long time since we've been so relaxed together. From what I see, we'll have to torment your daughter in the next day, so that she can still be at ease at night.”

”She'll have to let you do whatever you want to her. I don't know who will do the same.”
