Zhou Qiongyue was happiest at night. She took Gulan and several maids to open the gifts in the side room where she had piled them.

Looking at the gifts that filled an entire side room, Zhou Qiongyue didn't feel tired at all after getting up early.

At night, Jin was about to rest. She casually asked Cai Ping beside her, "Has Yue'er rested yet?"

Cai Ping helped the lady undress and replied with a smile, "No, the young lady and her attendants are opening their gifts. The person who delivered the gifts said that the young lady is very happy."

Jin was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect her daughter to be such a money-grubber. "Youth and energy are good."

Zhou Qiongyue was said to be personally unpacking the items, but it was mostly the servants around her who did the unpacking. She only unpacked the gifts from those she considered important. The rest, her subordinates sorted them out and recorded them.

When the time comes, show her the booklet and she can find what she likes.

The first thing Zhou Qiongyue looked at was, of course, the gift from Gulan's family. It was a complete set of head ornaments from her grandmother, gold and ruby-encrusted. As soon as she opened it, the air of luxury was overwhelming. She knew it was worth every penny, even without needing to estimate its value.

"Grandma is actually willing to give me such a good thing this time?" Zhou Qiongyue complained to herself about her confusion, and then directly instructed Gulan to put it away well.

Such an expensive headpiece would be a bit too heavy for her at her age. Zhou Qiongyue thought, after ten years or so, she would find someone to refurbish it and it would be perfect to wear.

The gift from her grandfather was a famous painting. Although Zhou Qiongyue didn't understand it, she had seen the painting hanging in her grandfather's study, which was of this person.

As soon as Gulan opened it, Zhou Qiongyue recognized it. "Grandfather, this gift is quite good! I thought you would just give me a banknote!"

Gulan and the others didn't dare to respond to this. It wasn't like they were afraid of losing their lives and dared to talk about the master's family.

Marquis Cheng'en: Silver notes are not cabbages, where do so many of them come from?

Afterwards, Zhou Qiongyue visited her parents' gifts. Her father gave her a farm in the suburbs of Yuan'an, with over a hundred acres of fertile land. Her mother gave her a medium-sized shop in the inner city of Yuan'an, on the main street, that sold fabrics.

The more Zhou Qiongyue looked at the two land deeds given by her parents, the happier she became. She would never again find the coming-of-age ceremony troublesome.

The eldest brother gave Zhou Qiongyue a clear jade bracelet, which she liked very much. The second brother also gave her a pair of jade bracelets, which were made of black jade and looked very valuable.

The gift from the third brother was a hairpin, which was also of good quality. The third brother was the eldest son of the third wife, so he had quite a few good things.

The fourth brother was the child of Aunt Sun from her father's backyard. The gift was a landscape plaque, of average quality, but Zhou Qiongyue felt that the thought was enough.

The fifth brother also gave her a pair of bracelets, but they were a pair of crimson bracelets. Zhou Qiongyue liked them as soon as she saw them and put them on her hands immediately.

The remaining sons of the Marquisate are all younger brothers, and younger brothers basically don't give gifts. This is the custom of this era!

Many people in the palace also gave Zhou Qiongyue gifts. The most expensive one came from the Queen Aunt, who gave her a whole set of luxurious jewelry, a jade ruyi, and various precious fabrics, just to show how rich she was.

Princess Yongchun also gave Zhou Qiongyue a pair of jade bracelets, plus a whole box of storybooks that she thought were interesting, to help Zhou Qiongyue pass the time when she was bored.

Zhou Qiongyue felt that the storybook Princess Yongchun had given her touched her heart. She had read the storybooks Princess Yongchun had collected, and found many of them interesting.

So don’t underestimate the people of this era. The ancients were also very smart. Sometimes our self-righteous imagination is simply not worth mentioning in front of theirs.

The second prince and the fifth prince also gave bracelets as gifts. Zhou Qiongyue felt that they had discussed it beforehand.

After receiving this coming-of-age gift, she felt that she would never lack bracelets for a long time.

You can even change a pair every day and never wear the same pair twice a month. Zhou Qiongyue thought happily, this is really a sweet burden. Every day when you open your eyes, you have to decide which pair of bracelets to choose today.

Zhou Qiongyue didn’t watch it after that, mainly because it was too late. If she didn’t go to bed, she wouldn’t be able to get up at noon tomorrow.

He could only instruct someone to carefully register the gifts and show them to her later. She had to keep them in mind, as she would have to return the gifts in the future.

On the morning of the next day, few masters in the entire mansion could get up. To hold such a large banquet, the masters' faces would be stiff just from smiling at people, not to mention having to muster up the energy to pretend to be nice to others.

Not to mention breakfast, even lunch is eaten in their own yards.

When Zhou Qiongyue got up, it was lunchtime. After she finished her lunch, Gulan presented her with a list of gifts that had been compiled by the servants.

Zhou Qiongyue asked someone to make a pot of hot tea and serve some snacks. She sat in the corridor and studied with several maids for the whole afternoon.

The main thing is to match the relationship between the person, the gift and the Marquis' Mansion. In the future, when you see someone, you need to figure out how to treat them.

Of course she went to her mother's yard to eat dinner. Even if her mother didn't call them, she thought her two brothers would go.

When Zhou Qiongyue arrived at Jin's yard, her eldest brother, fifth brother and father were already there.

As soon as Zhou Qiongyue entered, her fifth brother Zhou Zhiquan couldn't wait to ask, "Sister, what kind of bracelet are you wearing today?"

Brothers Zhou Zhiyi and Zhou Zhiquan looked at Zhou Qiongyue's hands curiously. Seeing this, Zhou Qiongyue stretched out her hands to show her two brothers.

When Zhou Zhiquan saw that his sister was wearing the pair he had given her, he immediately jumped up with joy, "Hahahahaha, my sister likes the bracelets I gave her the most. Big brother, give me the jade pendant."

Zhou Zhiyi also saw that the pair of jade pendants his sister was wearing were indeed the ones his younger brother had given her. Without hesitation, he pulled off the jade pendant from his waist and threw it to his younger brother.

Then Zhou Zhiyi looked at Zhou Qiongyue with the eyes of a heartless man, "Sister, don't you like the bracelet that big brother gave you?"

Zhou Qiongyue looked at her brother's sad eyes, and she inexplicably felt a little guilty. "I like it, I like it."

"That······"

The meaning of Zhou Zhiyi's word "that" is very clear.

Zhou Wencan and Jin were watching the fun with great interest from the side, watching how Zhou Qiongyue managed to keep things between her two brothers.

Zhou Qiongyue rolled her eyes and an idea struck her. "Isn't this bracelet given by Fifth Brother a better match for my outfit today? When I change into some fairy-like outfit someday, I'll wear the bracelet given by Big Brother."

Zhou Zhiyi reached out and pinched Zhou Qiongyue's face, "You are quite clever, little girl."

"Hehe, second brother is the best!" Although Zhou Qiongyue didn't want to be pinched on the face, she couldn't care less at this moment.
