Mrs. Cao has always been curious about what the adopted daughter her youngest son is like.
In the past, nothing could be discerned from just a few words and phrases in letters.
All I know is that she is a good girl.
Now that she really saw it, Mrs. Cao was satisfied and waved her hand to indicate that the winter warmth had passed.
After Dong Nuan passed over obediently, Mrs. Cao gently touched her head with her big and gentle hands: "Good girl, you've had a hard journey along the way."
Mrs. Cao seems to be a very kind old lady. She has a kind face and kind eyes and is very easy to get along with. Mrs. Cao is also the same. She smiles every time she sees people. Although she may not be sincere, she at least gives people the illusion that she is easy to get along with.
.
However, there is a lot of sincerity in Mrs. Cao’s smile today.
Probably because she was really satisfied with the warmth in winter and was also very surprised.
The population of the Cao Mansion is simple, with only two brothers in total. Magistrate Cao is the youngest son of the Cao family, and the eldest son of the Cao family remains in the capital. Mr. Cao serves as Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple. He is still on duty now, but not in the family.
Uncle Cao has two sons and three daughters. The eldest son is currently working as a trainee at the Ministry of Industry and is also on duty. He is not here, but his wife Qiao and their youngest son Cao Xuan are here.
Mrs. Qiao has a refreshing look, and she has a different personality from Mrs. Cao. She looks at Dong Nuan with gentle and kind eyes, and she will smile at Dong Nuan from time to time.
Cao Xuan was young and didn't really understand things at home. He just looked around confusedly and then whispered to his mother: "Mom, is that a fairy?"
The child's childish talk aroused bursts of laughter from everyone.
Uncle Cao's youngest son, the fourth and youngest son among the young masters in the house, is named Cao Kun. He is also sitting there at the moment, but he doesn't dare to raise his head to look at the warmth of winter.
Dong Nuan only thinks of each other as being embarrassed. After all, there are differences between men and women. Even if they are brothers and sisters, it is not good to stare at others all the time.
In addition to his two sons, Uncle Cao also has three daughters. The eldest daughter is Wan Meiren who has entered the palace. The second daughter Cao Xinyu is one year older than Dong Nuan and is also sitting next to Mrs. Qiao.
Sitting next to Cao Xinyu was Uncle Cao's concubine Cao Xinru, who was the same age as Dong Nuan but was born older than Dong Nuan.
Mrs. Cao has soft eyebrows and good looks. Cao Xinyu inherited her appearance, so her appearance is also gorgeous, much better than Cao Xinyao, who can only be regarded as average in appearance.
However, Cao Xinru, a concubine, probably had an average-looking biological mother, so her appearance was worse than that of Cao Xinyao.
Dong Nuan was actually a little confused about this.
Aren't the concubines of these powerful lords all beautiful?
Therefore, Cao Xinru did not inherit any of her mother's beauty, but that's not right. In fact, Uncle Cao's appearance is not bad.
There were only two thoughts in my mind, but Dong Nuan didn't think much about it.
Everyone was smiling, getting along harmoniously, and soon they were all laughing.
The more Mrs. Cao looked at this little girl Dong Nuan, the more satisfied she became.
Probably because she had been looking at the noble lady for too long, it was rare to see a live one, not like a dummy, so she was quite happy.
So, I held Dong Nuan’s hand and talked for a long time.
However, considering that Dong Nuan's journey was very hard, Mrs. Cao quickly stopped thinking and ordered someone to prepare some toiletries and wait for Dong Nuan to freshen up and go to rest before attending the family banquet in the evening.
Already.
Dong Nuan actually didn't feel tired. Cao Feng took good care of her along the way, but she didn't refuse the old lady's kindness.
It's just that Mrs. Cao and the others have already given the meeting gift, so Dong Nuan has to show some expression.
Therefore, he motioned to Luzhu and the others to bring the things over.
The gifts I have prepared have been waiting outside the hospital early in the morning. I can just have them delivered now.
Mrs. Cao and the others are generous. After all, she is the new girl in the house and the adopted daughter who is going through the ceremony. Giving Dong Nuan is not an advantage to others.
What Mrs. Cao gave was a preserved fruit shop, and what Mrs. Cao gave was a box of jewelry. These two were the most important ones, and the others were just gifts of similar meaning.
Although it is also expensive, it is not as generous as these two people, who directly do it in batches.
Now I heard that Dong Nuan had prepared a meeting gift, and several people were looking forward to it.
They knew that Dong Nuan was making rose water. If it hadn't been for this opportunity, they wouldn't have been able to become a family.
So is it rose water?
The price of this thing is high, so Mrs. Cao kept a bottle for her own use throughout the house. Of course, it is not just for her use. If the girls in the house have a banquet, they can also come and borrow it.
It would be quite a surprise if I really gave this as a gift.
However, when Dong Nuan opened the box and revealed the shining glass inside, everyone in the Cao Mansion who had been calm at first could no longer sit still.
Lord Cao did not mention the matter of Liuli in advance, but asked Cao Feng to bring the letter to the capital this time.
Uncle Cao hasn't come back yet, so the letter is still in Cao Feng's hands, so no one in the house knows about it at all.
Therefore, when they saw boxes of colored glaze, everyone was stunned.
"This, this, this..." After a long time, Mrs. Cao reacted first.
Fanbang colored glaze is a precious thing, even more precious than rose water.
If I have to find one reason, it's probably because colored glaze is less easy to transport than rose water.
Although colored glaze is beautiful, it is fragile, so not many can actually be transported to Dayue.
And because this thing was really fresh and had a kind of translucent beauty, it was immediately taken over by the powerful.
In the Cao Mansion, Mrs. Cao has a pair of glazed lamps. She doesn't even want to use them, so she keeps them for display. The maids and servants who clean them are all Mrs. Cao's confidants, for fear that others will touch them again with rough hands.
These things are broken.
Mrs. Cao had only seen it before, but had never owned it. When she saw the thing now, she was stunned.
Then, they heard Dong Nuan's cute and soft voice: "Some time ago, Nuan Nuan tried to make a batch of colored glaze, picked some good-looking ones, and gave them to grandma, eldest aunt, and brothers and sisters in the house.
.”
Originally, everyone was just surprised by the beauty of colored glaze and its preciousness.
Upon hearing Dong Nuan's words, Mrs. Cao exclaimed: "Nuan Nuan, you did this?"
Dong Nuan nodded obediently and innocently: "Back to aunt, yes."
Everyone in the Cao Mansion:...
hiss!!!
So, is this the surprise after rose water and toilet paper?
This, this, this, the second brother didn’t say anything about this!
Everyone in the Cao Mansion was not mentally prepared and almost lost their composure on the spot!
Fortunately, Mrs. Cao had enough experience and knowledge, so she quickly calmed down her expression. She thought there must be something going on, so she glanced at Cao Feng, who had been serving as the backdrop, and received a nod from Cao Feng before she smiled.
He said to Dongnuan: "Good boy, thank you for your hard work. Go and have a rest."
