Chapter Nineteen: Gifts
"Qing'er knows that grandma and father miss Qing'er, and Qing'er also misses grandma and father. So when I came here this time, I brought a gift specifically for grandma." Ye Qingge turned around and greeted Xiaoyue outside and brought one.
Box.
The box contains a snow lotus, which was picked from the snow lotus pond last time. At that time, Ye Qingge had Xiaobai's help. In addition to the century-old snow lotus, he also picked a dozen large snow lotuses in the middle of the lotus pond. Each one was beautiful.
It was of the best quality. This time she picked out a medium-sized one, which was regarded as a pure purchase of snow lotus.
Everyone in the hall showed disdain when they heard the gift Ye Qingge brought. Who didn't know that this ugly girl was left in the village since she was a child and couldn't even eat delicious food, let alone buy gifts, for fear of this so-called
I guess I bought the gift from some shabby stall!
But as the box was opened, everyone's expressions changed instantly. Even the old lady in the hall couldn't help but take another look. The red coral beads in her hand also lost their color in an instant.
"Oh my God, there is such a beautiful and top-quality snow lotus. It is more than ten years old at least. This old lady has found a treasure," someone in the crowd said.
"Qingge, where did you get this snow lotus? I heard that the regent went to the snow lotus pond two days ago. Could it be that the regent gave it to you?" Cao asked in shock.
It would be different if the regent really gave it to Ye Qingge. If the regent gave Ye Qingge snow lotus as a gift, it means that the regent regards Ye Qingge as one of his own. But who doesn't know that this regent has a cold face and a dark heart?
He knows that the Ye family has touched his people, but he still has to overthrow the Ye family!
At this time, when the old lady heard these words, she suddenly figured out the reason. If it was really sent by the Prince Regent, then she would not dare to accept this gift.
"Of course not. Qingge went up to the mountain specially and went through all kinds of hardships to pick it from the mountain!" Ye Qingge clearly saw the changes in the old lady and everyone when Cao mentioned the regent. It seemed that
They were afraid of the regent.
But yes, even Ye Qingge thought he was scary last time, let alone these people.
But she did not intend to take advantage of the regent's influence. After all, whether they would get married in the future was another matter.
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief when they heard Ye Qingge say that he didn't know the regent. Mrs. Cao and the old lady were relieved, and their eyes returned to the snow lotus.
"Qingge, it's rare for you to have such filial piety. Auntie thanked you on behalf of my grandmother." Mrs. Cao said, taking the snow lotus from Ye Qingge and bringing it to the old lady, as if she was afraid that Ye Qingge would regret it.
In addition to bringing snow lotus to the old lady, Ye Qingge also gave medicinal herbs to others. She picked them up casually near the snow lotus pond at that time, but each one was a good medicinal herb for nourishing qi and blood.
When the old lady saw the snow lotus brought by Mrs. Cao and placed it in front of her, her attitude softened slightly and she glanced at Grandma Hua. Grandma Hua then went into the house and took out two boxes.
"Miss, don't blame the old lady for being angry. The old lady heard that you were coming, so she asked someone to come and wait here early in the morning, just to give the eldest lady and the young master a break. As a result, the old lady suffered from back pain after waiting here for too long.
I committed a crime and was only angry for a moment, so please don’t bear a grudge against the old lady." Grandma Hua stepped forward and said to Ye Qingge.
"This is a gift that the old lady prepared for you and Lin'er early in the morning. Do you like it?" Grandma Hua said and took the two boxes from the maid next to her.
"Wow, there are gifts! Qing'er thanked grandma!" Ye Qingge looked like an innocent little daughter, reaching out and happily opened one of the boxes.
Inside the box is a set of gold hairpin jewelry embellished with pink jade, which is not too luxurious but is exquisite.
"Aunt Cao, does it look good? Qing'er likes the hairpin given by her grandmother so much!" Ye Qing took out the hairpin and put it on her head, and said happily.
"It's good-looking. Everything looks good on Qing'er." Cao said with a smile, but everyone still heard a hint of perfunctory.
This gold hairpin looks like an old style at first glance, so it was given to an unsophisticated person like Ye Qingge, and no one else might be able to appreciate it.
"Young Master, this is your gift." Mother Hua said and handed another box to Lin'er who was standing aside.
"Oh, Lin'er thanked grandma!" Lin'er said, taking the box from Grandma Hua's hand calmly.
My sister just went too far with her acting, so he didn't want to learn from her.
"Young Master, open it and take a look." Mother Hua said.
"Oh, okay." Lin'er responded and opened the box. Inside was a set of the Four Treasures of the Study.
"Mother, is this the wolf hair you bought for a lot of money?" Ms. Cao asked with a surprised look on her face.
"Ze'er wanted me to come before, but it was so rare that I couldn't buy it. I didn't expect that my mother bought it." Ye Zongze is Cao's son. He went to school today, so he didn't come over.
Everyone saw the gift for Lin'er and understood it. It was indeed a good thing. It seemed that the old lady treated her grandson well, but Cao's words just now were a bit exaggerated. They could have bought it with just a little more money.
Arrived.
"Lin'er, is the brush given by grandma good? This is the pen your grandma bought with a lot of money." Ms. Cao walked up to Lin'er and asked.
"Well~this..."
Lin'er was still young and couldn't tell lies. Just when he was about to say that it was okay, he saw Ye Qingge's gaze.
"Well, this is very good, Lin'er likes it." Lin'er glanced at Ye Qingge and said immediately.
But Lin'er was still confused. This brush was much worse than the one her sister gave her. She didn't know why her sister asked her to lie.
Forget it, I'll give it to Sister Xiaoyue later. Just thinking about it, Lin'er accepted it with a smile.
Gao, who had just eaten up, happened to catch Lin'er's smile and sneered. Sure enough, he came from the countryside and had never seen the world.
Now that the gifts have been given, the atmosphere has become much more relaxed.
Next, Cao introduced other people to Ye Qingge and Lin'er, including Ye Rong's two aunts. After getting to know each other, Ye Qingge roughly understood the current situation of the Ye family.
Needless to say, Ye Rong is fully in charge of the current Ye Mansion. Ye Rong has two younger brothers, the second eldest, Ye Zhang, and the third, Ye Tao. Both Ye Tao and Ye Rong were born to old ladies, while Ye Zhang was born to a concubine.
Born to his aunt, who has passed away.
Ms. Cao is the daughter-in-law of the second eldest brother Ye Zhang, and they have one son and one daughter. Ms. Gao is the daughter-in-law of the third eldest brother Ye Tao, and they have two sons and one daughter. As for the concubines from the two families who are not here today, they must be
You will know later.
And her father's current wife, Shen Mengrou, gave birth to two boys and two girls, and also took in two concubines. One was Aunt Wu Yuanxiang, who had a son and a daughter, and the other was Aunt Rong Rong Danyan, who had only one daughter.
.Counting her and Lin'er, her father has four sons and five daughters.
However, none of her father's other children were seen today. Aunt Hua said they all went to school. As for Gao's son who didn't like studying, Gao brought him here.
"Grandma, Qing'er thanks everyone for your concern today, but Qing'er has been traveling for a long time and is feeling a little unwell. I want to go back to rest and come back tomorrow to pay my respects to grandma?" At this time, Ye Qingge just wanted to ask the old lady where she was going. After all, she was
I'm really tired and want to go back.
"In that case, let Aunt Hua take you to rest." Unexpectedly, as soon as the old lady finished speaking, she heard the voice of a servant coming from outside the door.
