"Only one can be taken apart!"
Qu Dao Xiangyun looked at each object being put in the box, and then wrapped it with colored paper tied with a paper kite from the outside, and finally tied it with a red rope. There were ten of the same size, and they couldn't be seen from the outside. What exactly is inside.
Xiangyun looked at these exquisite little boxes and hesitated there for a moment, confused. There were no signatures or names written on them, so he couldn't tell which one belonged to which.
"Sister Cai Luan, these things don't even have a sign. What if I get them by mistake?"
Hearing the little girl's words, Cai Luan smiled softly, "This is your brother Qi's idea. What is a blind box? There are things in each box, some are excellent and some are slightly worse. When the time comes, we will make a mark. Just mark one, two, three, four, five, and draw lots to determine the order. Wherever you go, everyone picks in order. It doesn’t matter what you pick, it all depends on your luck!”
Xiangyun's eyes lit up when she heard this. She had never heard of this kind of gift-giving! I also wanted to rely on my own luck when choosing gifts, and my interest became more and more intense.
She looked at the ten boxes on the carriage, rolled her eyes, and then slowly moved to Cai Luan's side, and said casually: "Sister Cai Luan, what are there in here? Which box is the best?"
Seeing the little girl approaching and asking for information, Cai Luan curled her lips and said with a smile: "I know what's inside, but I don't know which box it is in. Those things were packed by the Marquis himself. If Sister Xiangyun wants to know, why don't you ask him?"
Hearing this, Xiangyun blushed. This little cheating trick was something that the girl's family was talking about. How could she let Jia Qi know about it? So she stopped asking which box was better, and just asked: "That's all." Is there anything good?”
Cai Luan thought for a while and said: "There are red gold agate bracelets, Ruyi dragon and phoenix pendants, chiseled gold phoenix head bead hairpins, Yishui ancient inkstones and other objects, as well as some gold and silver nuggets and silver coins~"
Cai Luan thought for a while and then said: "I don't know much about these things. I only heard from the teacher invited by the government that they are all rare and good things. The best one is probably There are five hundred taels of silver!"
When Xiangyun heard this, his eyes were even more surprised, "Really?"
Although she is the eldest daughter of the Shi family, she does not have many monthly records. The four major families have been in decline in recent years, and the Shi family is no exception. Because the Shi family maintains a sad appearance on the surface, life is quite difficult on the inside. Shi Xiangyun is not young. When I was young, I started to help the family with sewing.
I thought that what Jia Qi gave was just some small trinkets. A dozen or twenty taels would be worth a lot, but I didn't expect that there would be such valuable items. Firstly, all the children had a desire to compare and win. Secondly, It was indeed a good thing that she was keen on, and the third way to play was also strange, which made her even more excited. After all, she didn't know what the thing she picked was like? There is a hint of excitement in the anticipation.
"Sister Cai Luan, can I choose first?"
Xiangyun asked tentatively, his clear little eyes full of expectation.
Cai Luan nodded without hesitation and said with a smile: "Of course it's possible, but you'll just have to watch for a while~"
Xiangyun was a little hesitant when she heard this. If it was to be dismantled later, it would indeed be better for the sisters to talk and laugh together. But now she couldn't help it. She knew that the treasure mountain was in front of her, but she was allowed to just look at it like this. , she couldn't help it.
"You don't need to draw lots to get the first place. You are taking a huge advantage!!"
Hearing Cai Luan's words, Xiang Yun thought again, it seemed the same. Xiang Ling looked at those gadgets with envy in his eyes.
Cai Luan stretched out her hand, pulled her over, and said with a smile: "What are you thinking about? You are so jealous, and you don't know, you thought we were bullying you~ I didn't do it either!"
Just saying this, Xiang Ling's face turned red, she hugged Cai Luan, and started making trouble with her again. Thinking that she would be successful in the future, she asked her uncle to reward her with one, but she seemed to lack nothing when she was with Jia Qi? I put this thought aside for a while.
Xiangyun was picking and choosing, not sure yet. There were only two color boxes in front of her, one was bright red and the other was pink. Xiangyun looked back at Cai Luan and asked her to help her get it. An idea.
Cai Luan smiled and said: "If you don't choose, we will be there soon! Anyway, I don't know, just follow your heart. No matter what it is, you won't regret it. If we choose for you, you will inevitably feel There’s a lump~”
When Xiangyun heard this, he immediately thought about it, so he stopped talking and picked the bright red one. Then he turned his head and said to Cai Luan: "Then I will choose this one!!"
Cai Luan nodded, a strange color flashed in her eyes. What she said just now was not true. These things were not prepared by Jia Qi, but prepared by her according to Jia Qi's instructions. What should be put in which box? Naturally, she knew everything about the items, but Jia Qi, on the other hand, didn't know. She remembered that the one Xiangyun picked was the chiseled gold crested beaded flower hairpin, which was considered to be of the highest quality.
After getting the thing, Xiangyun couldn't wait to open the box, untied the red rope, turned over the red paper, and then opened the box. There was a red gauze partition in the box, and a hairpin lay on it. The workmanship was extremely exquisite, just like a lustful hairpin. The golden phoenix has two gold chains in its mouth. Below it is two bright pearls as the head, followed by two extremely delicate golden flowers, then five strands of small gold rings hanging down, and finally five The crystal clear agate back cover made Xiangyun guess what it was just by seeing it!
"It's a chiseled gold crested beaded flower hairpin!"
Xiangyun clapped her hands happily and cheered. At the right time, Caiyun answered: "Yes, but that one. Sister Xiangyun is really lucky. These are already some of the best items~"
When Xiang Yun heard Cai Luan's words, she felt even more pleased in her heart, "Then sister, help me put it on!!"
Cai Luan looked at the anxious little girl in front of her and smiled and shook her head, but she did not refuse. She asked Xiang Yun to turn around and find a suitable position behind her bun to help her put it on.
Taoist people rely on their clothes and horses to rely on their saddles, but the little girl looks even more beautiful when she wears this hairpin.
Holding a small silver mirror in his hand, Xiangyun shook his little head gently and nodded with satisfaction, yes, the size is just right.
Then she gently knocked on the carriage and said sweetly, "Thank you, Brother Qi~"
Although Jia Qi was outside the car, the situation inside the car could not be hidden from him. He just didn't expect that Cai Luan, a little boy, would not follow the routine. But now that the matter was over, he didn't care too much, it was just a small object.
He smiled and replied: "It's just a hairpin! Sister Xiangyun is so polite~"
While he was talking, Jia Qi had already arrived not far from the west corner gate of Xi Mansion. After thinking about him and the people in the carriage, he said, "I'll go see Mr. Zheng first, and I'll look for you later~"
The three Cai Luan girls responded. After all, Jia Qi was no better than others. The Rongguo Mansion would not dare to neglect him when he came here. If he just went there, it would seem that he had a problem with them, which would not be good after all.
At the corner gate, Jia Qi parted ways with them. The three of them entered the mansion from here, and Jia Qi turned to the main gate. Presumably, Rong Guo Mansion had received the news in advance, and someone had been waiting here. Jia Qi came and quickly welcomed the people in.
After chatting with Jia Zheng at Rongxi Hall, Jia Zheng talked about the reason for today. After hearing this, Jia Zheng also smiled and nodded, "You are a naughty dog. In this weather, please invite Brother Qi to come over. But it's rude, I hope Brother Qi can forgive me!"
Jia Qi smiled and replied: "I was in a hurry last time and forgot to prepare some greeting gifts for my brothers and sisters. I made up for it this time. I also brought some specialties from Liaodong and ordered my men to deliver them to the garden. I want to give the old lady a taste, there are quite a few of them, Master Zheng might as well try them too~"
When Jia Zheng heard this, he felt ashamed.
Then Jia Qi resigned from Jia Zheng and came to Xikuoyuan under the leadership of his servant.
Just on the Nuan Pavilion side, Xiangyun and Xiangling were carrying two boxes alone, and they were not busy leading the way. Cailuan was carrying three, and Xiangyun's maid Cuixi was also carrying two and three. The woman got off the carriage and walked towards the west courtyard.
At Nuange, someone had already reported that Jia Chu and Shi Xiangyun were here. Hearing that Jia Chu had brought some gifts, he got off the car from the west corner gate and came here with Xiang Yun.
Sister Feng thought about it, called Ping'er, and planned to go out to greet him. Because it started to snow, she didn't let anyone else go, and just said they would wait in the house.
The two groups happened to meet at the Chuihua Gate. She knew Xiangyun and Xiangling, but it was the first time they met Cailuan. The same was true for Cailuan. They were about the same age. Wang Xifeng was slightly older by two years, but they were both fat and thin.
Wang Xifeng, who was very elegant, saw that the three of them were holding boxes in their hands, and ordered the maids and women to take them quickly.
"Who is this girl?"
After the three of them handed over their things to the ladies, Wang Xifeng walked over with a smile and asked Xiang Ling and Xiang Yun.
Xiangyun Kuairen spoke quickly and said with a smile: "Second sister-in-law Lian, she is sister Cailuan, and like Xiangling, she is a member of brother Qin!"
Hearing this, Wang Xifeng was heartbroken. She had never seen such a beautiful appearance in the house, and she vaguely noticed that the other party seemed a little different from them. As for what was different, she couldn't tell. Come.
"My good sister, I made your Marquis spend a lot of money to come here and get any gifts. It makes me feel so ashamed. It's just a poetry meeting, and I'm just taking advantage of it!"
Seeing the familiarity of the other party, Cai Luan also smiled and replied: "The uncle said that because of the rush when I came back a few times, I didn't have time to prepare any gifts for my brothers and sisters, so I will make up for it this time!"
Seeing that Cai Luan spoke appropriately and was not overbearing, Wang Xifeng breathed a sigh of relief, so she stepped forward to hold Cai Luan's arm and said with a smile: "Brother Qi is still considerate. Those of us who are a little older , but I forgot about this, and I haven’t prepared a meeting gift for Brother Qi. I’m really ashamed! But the old lady mentioned it, and then said that your family is so big that you don’t even look down on things like ours, so take it out for free. We don’t dare to mention him anymore~”
Cai Luan smiled and looked at Sister Feng, who was holding her arm, "Sister, what are you talking about? Gifts don't matter how much they are, it's all about the intention. I often heard the Marquis say that sending goose feathers thousands of miles away is a gift that is less than a gift but a great deal of meaning!"
Cai Luan's flesh hurts after giving away so many things in one breath! Now that I heard Wang Xifeng's words, those answers came out naturally.
Wang Xifeng didn't think anything of it, and continued to talk to Cai Luan with a smile. For a moment, she felt like sisters she hadn't seen for a long time. Xiang Yun and Xiang Ling were stunned when they saw this. This second mistress was indeed a good communicator!
"Brother Ai, Sister Bao, Sister Lin, come and open the blind box~"
