Chapter 65 (1/2)

Time flies, and then at the end of the year, Hebei's annual gift has arrived.

Qiushi looked at the list and said with a smile, ”the third master is getting bigger and bigger, and the gift is getting less and less.” The bigger the official, the more money, but the more stingy.

Mother Li said, ”don't look at it, madam. Let the old slave take it to them and put it in storage.” I'm just angry after seeing it, not if I don't see it.

After receiving the gift list, mother Li said, ”madam, I heard that the third master sent two boxes of things to the fourth girl this time.”

Qiu said, ”it should be the old lady who said something!” The only one who has a position is the old lady, so it's a good guess.

Yuxi, who had received the gift, looked very calm, unable to see joy or sadness. Yuxi's face was light. He asked people to open the box: ”what did you send?”

There are two boxes of things, one is Zanhuang golden dates, apricot prunes, dried pears and other things; the other is several paintings made of white reeds, which are very characteristic, including crane, old man fishing, eagle flying and so on.

Yuxi ordered people to pack up everything: ”put the food in the kitchen. The pair of cranes are hanging in my study. In addition, the old man fishing is given to the elder brother. The eagle spreads its wings to fly is saved first. Then I will give it to the second brother. ”

As long as it's not a single gift, there's nothing wrong with taking the extra one as a gift. But now the problem is that Yuxi got the gift for the first time, but he is not excited at all, but he can distribute the gift peacefully. This attitude makes people have to think deeply.

In the afternoon, Yuxi went to Tingyun Pavilion as usual to learn the rules. Seeing Yuchen's smiling face, he asked, ”did the third sister get something good?”

Jade Chen said with a smile: ”it's not a good thing, just a set of bone china tea set. What did sister four get? ”

”My father sent me several paintings, which are very distinctive. I chose a crane to hang in my study,” said Yuxi

Yuchen is in a complicated mood. It seems that her father hasn't sent her a painting. In Yuchen's heart, the painting her father sent must be the painting of a famous artist: ”really? Can I go to your yard later to see the picture my father sent you? ”

Yuxi hesitated a little, and finally slowly nodded his head: ”naturally.”

When she saw Yuxi, she didn't start to teach the rules. Instead, she asked, ”the third master gave her annual gift today, and the third girl was very happy to get the gift. Didn't the fourth girl get the gift?”

Yuxi nodded, ”yes, two big boxes.”

When mother Quan asked Yuxi to sit down, she also sat cross knee in front of Yuxi and asked, ”then why didn't I see joy in your face?”

Yuxi no longer bowed her head, because she had been taught by all Mammy to be small, so she would face all Mammy's questions. She didn't bow her head, but she didn't talk, and she kept silent.

”You have a grudge in your heart?” said Quan? Blame the third master's indifference to you all these years. Even if he sent you something this time, you still have a complaint. ”

Where will Yuxi bear the name: ”I have no complaint. He is my father, my own father who raised me. Today, I am also very happy to receive the gift, but I am not as happy as the third sister. ” After a pause, she said, ”what she got is a complete set of bone china tea set. My two big boxes are not worth as much as one of her glasses.”

All Mammy was stunned for a while, but she soon scolded Yuxi with a flat face: ”don't say that your father sent you two big boxes, that is to say, a feather. That's also the thought of you. It's your father's heart of fatherhood.”

Yuxi wants to laugh when she hears the four words of the heart of a loving father. Han Jingyan ignored her for 16 years in his last life. He just regarded her as nothing. When he heard that she didn't want to marry Jiang Hongjin, he threw a white silk to her. It's a great satire to use Han Jingyan's heart of fatherhood. Unfortunately, Yuxi didn't laugh, but cried. Tears ran down her cheek and fell to the ground.

Mother Quan spent more than three months in the State Council, and she was quite clear about Yuxi's situation, so it's not surprising that Yuxi would complain about her. This meeting jade Xi cries in front of her, she also didn't advise, sit there and watch jade Xi cry. It was not until Yuxi cried that she handed a handkerchief to Yuxi, and her words slowed down a lot: ”wipe your tears!”

After Yuxi regained her peace, she said sheepishly, ”don't be surprised, Mammy.”

Mother Quan did not blame her, but said, ”four girls, filial piety is the root of human beings. If we lose filial piety, no matter how talented we look, we will not be able to live in the world.” After a pause, she said, ”besides, no matter before or after marriage, a woman will have a hard time without the support of her father and brother.”

Yuxi said with a wry smile, ”I know what mammy said, but...” After a pause, Yuxi said: ”I don't lie to Mammy. I haven't seen my father since I was born, and the people around me don't like me or my mother. They all say I'm redundant. So I think the gift I received this time should have been prepared by my stepmother, and my father didn't know it. ”

Mother Quan disagreed and said, ”four girls, that's your mother too. Four girls, I know that the third lady is the stephouse, but even if she is the stephouse, it is also your elder generation. When you face her, you have to be polite enough to make sure you don't make mistakes. ”
