Looks fresh and fresh.
The sound is also nice.
The more Zhou looked at it, the more she liked it. She held Xiao Fuyuan's hand and watched it non-stop.
"You are so sensible and smart at such a young age. I haven't thanked you enough for saving A Heng." Mrs. Zhou mentioned the incident of Feng Zhiheng being abducted last year, with gratitude on her face.
She heard last year that she was rescued by a peasant girl. She thought she was a child much older than A Heng, but she didn't expect that she was actually younger than A Heng.
She was quite surprised when she heard about it from her mother, and she was even more surprised when she saw it in person.
Mrs. Zhou took Xiao Fuyuan's hand and praised her again, then told the maid beside her: "Liuhua."
The maid waiting on the side opened several brocade boxes. One box was filled with gold hairpin beads and headdresses, one box was covered with colorful shiny satin, one box was filled with various cakes, one box was filled with ginseng medicinal materials, and In a box are pens, inks, paper and inkstones...
"Aunt Bai, Sister Zhen, this is a gift for Xiao Yuanbao." Mrs. Zhou handed the box filled with gold hairpin beads and headdresses to Xiao Fuyuan and said, "Wear whichever one you like."
Xiao Fuyuan: "..."
Mrs. Feng is so proud!
Feng Zhiheng picked up a beaded hairpin with a ruby on the top, inserted it into Xiao Fu's round head and said, "Sister, this is a hairpin made from inside. This ruby matches you."
"No way, madam, you are too polite." Mrs. Bai stood up and said.
"This gift is too valuable." Mrs. Zhen agreed with her mother-in-law.
As soon as the boxes full of gifts were opened, the Bai family felt they were too expensive.
Although they had been kind to Feng Zhiheng, the Zhou family had already sent the fourth son of the Bai family to Huaishui Academy, so how could they take gifts from him again.
But Mrs. Zhou said with a face of indignity: "Why not? If it weren't for Xiao Yuanbao, my daughter wouldn't be able to come back in one piece. She would have to be good or bad. Let alone this little thing, she would have pawned the entire Hou Mansion." I’m afraid I can’t redeem it.”
"Aunt Bai, Sister Zhen, if you don't accept this gift, do you think it's not enough?"
Mrs. Zhou's words made Mrs. Bai and Mr. Zhen unable to speak out any more words of rejection.
Zhou pointed to a few boxes and said with a smile: "This is made of satin, which is warm in winter and cool in summer. It is best for making clothes; this is pastry. My mother is from Suzhou, and her roommate is the best at making Su-style snacks. I specially Ask me to bring it to Xiao Yuanbao; here are ginseng, sore medicine, Jin Dan Life-saving Pills, Huoxiang heat-removing water... They are all commonly used household medicines. Here are pens, inks, paper and inkstones. I heard that there is a child in the family who loves to study very much. Ah Heng brought it to him..."
The gifts are comprehensive and available to the whole family.
Zhou then ordered her maid to take out a small brocade box. When she opened it, she found a golden red gold longevity lock.
"I heard that there is a child who is just one month old. Let's give him this longevity lock to play with." Zhou said with a smile.
Eugene Gui's eyes lit up as he stood behind Xie Chuntao. This was given to her young man by name.
Such a big longevity lock, such a big golden gold.
Since the wife named Xiaolang, she would not put it around my sister-in-law's neck.
Eugene Gui has never touched gold in his life.
"Thank you, madam." You Jingui crossed Xie Chuntao and thanked Mr. Zhou.
Mrs. Zhen stared at her, why her eyelids were so shallow.
Eugene Gui didn't dare to move forward to take it, and kept looking at it.
"Then I'd like to thank my sister for Xiaolang." Mrs. Zhen took the longevity lock and put it on the table. Eugene Gui was worried, fearing that such a good thing would not reach her.
Although Mrs. Zhou is the wife of the Hou family, she speaks and acts straightforwardly and does not put on airs at all.
Mrs. Zhen and Mrs. Bai were very impressed with her and sat chatting with her.
"Mom, can I go out to play with my sister?" Feng Zhiheng asked Zhou with a smile.
"Go ahead, don't bully your sister." Ms. Zhou waved her hand.
Xiao Fuyuan took Feng Zhiheng's hand and went out together.
Seeing her daughter's brisk steps, Ms. Zhou smiled and complained to Mrs. Bai and Ms. Zhen: "A Heng has been wild since he was a child."
"She is still young, a girl can't hold her captive." Old Mrs. Bai said.
In fact, Mrs. Bai wanted to say that it is better for girls to be wild. Zhen was raised too delicately in the house when she was a child and had no sense at all. In the end, she was sold by her trusted cousin when her family was ruined.
"I think so too."
There was a hint of sadness between Zhou's brows, but she couldn't help Feng Zhiheng now, otherwise why would she come to Huaicheng to learn the rules.
When Feng Zhiheng came to the countryside, he felt a lot more relaxed.
This year, she studied music, chess, calligraphy, painting and etiquette in Huaicheng. She moved, sat and lay according to the rules. If she made any mistakes, her aunt and the aunts in the palace would scold her with a straight face. She was almost depressed.
"Sister Qiu." Xiao Fuyuan pulled Feng Zhiheng to Qiu Niang who was washing vegetables.
"Have you seen Sister Qiu's..."
Feng Zhiheng's eyes widened. The numb boy in the secret passage of the temple turned out to be a beautiful sister.
Qiuniang smiled and washed the fruit and handed it to them. The two of them laughed and took it and gnawed it.
"It's better to have your family. You can do whatever you want. There aren't so many rules." Feng Zhiheng said to Xiao Fuyuan with great envy.
In the yard, Bai Zhaomei was practicing with a red cherry gun; Dalang and Sanlang were fighting grass.
Feng Zhiheng looked around and asked, "Why don't you see Erlang?"
Xiao Fuyuan smiled and said: "Erlang is studying in the house, I will take you to find him."
Feng Zhiheng held Xiao Fuyuan's hand and followed her to Erlang's room.
Lao Bai's family built several new houses, and Erlang and Dalang slept in one room.
At this time, Erlang was consulting the newly-minted scholar Bai Panmei on his homework.
"Erlang, have you received the book I gave you?" Feng Zhiheng's voice came in before anyone arrived.
Erlang raised his head and saw Feng Zhiheng smiling and then stood up.
Erlang already knew that Feng Zhiheng's arrival caused such a big stir when he was reading in the room. He looked through the window for a while and then continued reading.
"Received, thank you." Erlang said.
"Erlang, are your legs healed?" Feng Zhiheng did not hide his surprise.
"Okay." Xiao Fukuoka answered for Erlang.
"Not only can he stand, but he can also walk." Erlang left the desk and walked around the room to show Feng Zhiheng.
Erlang's open and generous temperament won Xiao Fuyuan's admiration, and he gave Erlang a thumbs up.
"This time Sister Aheng brought you pen, ink, paper and inkstone again." Xiao Fuyuan said.
Erlang thanked him again.
"Um, Erlang, can you lend me a set of your clothes?" Feng Zhiheng suddenly said with a slightly red face.
"Why does Sister Ah Heng want to wear Erlang's clothes?" Xiao Fuyuan was very puzzled.
Erlang and Bai Panmei also looked at Feng Zhiheng in confusion.
Feng Zhiheng grabbed the hem of her skirt and whispered: "My clothes are not suitable for climbing trees. I think... I want to climb trees..."
Xiao Fuyuan: "..."
Erlang: "..."
As the most orthodox Confucian student at Huaishui Academy, Bai Panmei almost said, "How can I become such a decent person?"
