Chapter 340 Song Yu’s Birthday Gift

"Madam Du, Huanhuan's embroidery skills are becoming more and more superb. Look at this picture of auspicious clouds and cranes celebrating birthdays. It's so lifelike."

At this time, what was spread out in front of Du Ye was the embroidery carefully made by Du Zhihuan, and it was double-sided embroidery.

The front side features a picture of auspicious clouds and cranes delivering longevity, while the back side features a picture of a hundred longevity images.

This attracted praise from everyone, especially the Du family, who were full of praise.

They all came to Du Ye’s birthday, big or small.

The birthday gifts Du Zhihuan gave were better every year.

This not only touched Du Ye's heart, but also made Lin Yutang admire it very much, and he couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

Du Zhihuan's identity is not good, but there is nothing else to say.

To be honest, regardless of her background, she still prefers Du Zhihuan from the bottom of her heart.

"Hanhuan, thank you for your hard work. Grandma loves it."

Du Ye looked at Du Zhihuan lovingly, feeling a little worried that Song Yu's birthday gift wouldn't be as good as hers.

It would be better for Sister Yu not to send a birthday gift, otherwise the birthday gift Sister Yu sends will not be as good as Du Zhihuan's.

What should I do if I am looked down upon by the people present?

She doesn't want her biological granddaughter to be inferior to her adopted granddaughter!

Without sending a birthday gift, she could say that Sister Yu herself was the best birthday gift.

Jiang Yunwan looked at the birthday gift in front of her and praised it highly.

Du Zhihuan's double-sided embroidery skills are on par with Sister Yu's.

The Du family has put in a lot of effort, no wonder they are reluctant to let her go.

Feng Yingying looked anxious. Sister Yu only had a few skills. What should she do?

"Wanwan, Du Zhihuan's gifts are more thoughtful every year. What did Sister Yu prepare? Could it be peony fruit cake? This... this won't do."

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, it won't be pastries."

"What is that?"

"I don't know either."

"Could it be that the calligraphy prepared a picture of a hundred years of longevity?"

Feng Yingying can’t remember what else Song Yu can do now?

"I don't know." Jiang Yunwan said with a smile: "Anyway, it won't be too bad."

"Madam, the eldest lady is here."

Everyone turned their heads to look at Song Yu and others.

A long box soon appeared in everyone's sight.

Du Henian and Su Beiqing felt a little nervous when they saw this.

I'm actually preparing a birthday gift.

what to do?

The birthday gift sent by Huanhuan surprised both of them.

But like Du Ye, she was also worried that Song Yu would not be able to come up with a decent birthday gift and would be looked down upon by relatives and friends.

Su Beiqing's eyes accidentally met Jiang Yunwan's expression.

Seeing her happy face, I felt relieved.

Jiang Yunwan was a first-rank noble lady back then. How could Sister Yu not come up with a decent birthday gift?

"Sister Yu," Lin Yutang called Song Yu forward. "Your grandmother really liked the painting of auspicious clouds and cranes celebrating her birthday that Huanhuan gave her. I wonder what birthday gift you've prepared?"

Du Ye hurriedly said, "Sister Yu's birthday gift is her. I lost and then found a granddaughter, which is better than any birthday gift."

"Ha...that's right." Old Madam Jiang understood Du Ye's thoughts and quickly agreed, "Why are you still preparing birthday gifts? My sister Yu will come back and be your granddaughter. You will wake up laughing in your dreams."

"Yes, yes. Not only do I fall asleep easily every night and feel good, but my health is getting better and better."

"Xiao Yun," an old woman from the Du family suddenly spoke up, "Sister Yu has brought a birthday gift. Why don't you open it quickly and let us take a look?"

Others followed suit: "Yeah, open it and take a look."

When Du Ye saw that it was her sister-in-law from the next room who always contradicted her when they were young who started it, the smile on her face froze for a moment.

This old guy always wants to see her make a fool of herself!

Humph! No matter what birthday gift Sister Yu gives, it won't change Sister Yu's future as a princess!

She could only feel jealous and feel envy.

"Sister Yu, whatever birthday gift you give is the best in grandma's eyes. Open it and show it to everyone."

Bai Lan opened the box and took out a scroll wrapped in silk that was as tall as herself.

"Grandma, my granddaughter has just been at Chaofeng Palace Academy and doesn't have many skills. I've seen many fine things, and since I love to worship Buddha, I drew a picture of Guanyin. I hope you like it."

Du Ye smiled and said, "Grandma, you are most respectful to Guanyin Bodhisattva. Please unfold it and let me see it."

Du Zhihuan pursed her lips, thinking it was some special gift, but it was nothing special.

Feng Yingying was surprised. "Wanwan, Sister Yu'er's painting skills must be amazing, right?"

Jiang Yunwan pursed her lips and smiled without saying anything.

When the Free Guanyin slowly unfolds and appears before everyone.

Everyone stared with their eyes wide open in shock, looking at the majestic and free Guanyin with a thousand blessings in the painting.

Isn’t this painting skill amazing?

This is not a portrait of Guanyin, it is clearly a statue of Guanyin. It seems that you can just reach out and take Guanyin out of the painting and place her on the altar.

Du Zhihuan frowned. Song Yu was really capable. She felt a little pressured in an instant.

A curious person approached the portrait and gently touched it. "Hey, it's really a portrait of Guanyin, not a sculpture. Madam, your eldest daughter is truly a hidden talent. Her painting skills are already at the level of a first-rank noblewoman from the Chaofeng Palace Academy."

"Hahaha..." Jiang Youya suddenly laughed happily, "Of course, don't you see whose granddaughter she is?"

"Hey, Mr. Jiang, look how anxious you are, but no one is trying to snatch your granddaughter from you."

Du Henian and Su Beiqing breathed a sigh of relief. Sister Yu really surprised them.

Sister Yu seems to have many skills.

Very good!

This is their biological daughter.

"Sister Yu."

When Jiang Yunwan's voice came, the couple's mood instantly fell to the bottom again.

Sister Yu doesn't recognize them anymore.

"You don't just paint the Avalokitesvara, do you?"

Song Yu smiled and said, "Mother, you still understand me, Lan'er."

Bai Lan covered the picture of Guanyin with the canvas in the box. Together with Nuan Yu, they turned the painting over and placed it in the sunlight.

Everyone was curious for a moment, wondering if there was a Buddha statue painted on the back, but the back was gray and there was nothing on it.

Under everyone's astonished gaze, Bai Lan gently lifted the thin layer of velvet covering the canvas.

As the velvet cloth was slowly lifted, rays of colorful light bloomed out, and the Three Holy Ones of the West instantly appeared in mid-air.

Everyone was stunned by this shocking scene.

"These are the Three Holy Ones of the West. Everyone, please pay your respects to them."

Du Ye shouted loudly, and everyone present, including the servants of the Du family, put their hands together and bowed to the Three Holy Ones of the West.

Du Ye was overjoyed. After paying homage, she personally took the portrait to her own Buddhist temple to worship it.

She has lived for most of her life, and this is the best birthday gift she has ever received.

She never dreamed that Sister Yu was so outstanding.

Not to mention a first-rank noble lady, Sister Yu will definitely be a high-ranking noble lady in the future.

Aning must like a granddaughter-in-law like Yu Jie'er very much.

It was such a good deal for her.

Wait for her to come back and discuss the marriage again. The wedding date must be postponed for a few years. We can't let Sister Yu get married so early.

Gu Yining, who was far away in the sky, yawned several times in succession.

"Ning'er, you've caught a cold." Xiao Yanxu said as he lowered the car window curtains.

"No, it's just that my nose is a little itchy, or someone is talking about me."

Gu Yining reached out and opened the curtain again. "Oh, oh no, I remembered that today is Yun'er's birthday. I forgot to arrange for someone to send her a birthday gift."

"Don't worry, our son and daughter-in-law will deliver it."

"How can this be the same? I send one every year. I forgot this year. I don't know if she will get all cranky and think I forgot about her."

Xiao Yanxu smiled and said, "No, our daughter-in-law will prepare your portion. Every year you ask her to bring it over. This year we are unsure of our whereabouts, and she is smart enough to know what to do."

Gu Yining thought about her daughter-in-law, whom she had chosen personally. "She is indeed smart, otherwise I wouldn't have chosen her as my daughter-in-law. Then no one would nag me. Well, it's just an itchy nose."

Xiao Yanxu put the cloak on her and said, "You've caught a cold. Be careful. Don't fall ill before you even reach the capital. We still have to secretly monitor our son, grandson, and that girl Song Yu. By the way, after we return to the capital, should we go to our farm, or..."

"Let's go to the Gu family's teahouse in the suburbs. It's now under the name of Yan Yatou. Yan Yatou is a tight-lipped girl. I saw her once in the closed city of Donghai three years ago. I wonder how she's doing now?"

Xiao Yanxu thought about Gu Jinyan's appearance three years ago, "That child looks like Zhou Ci, so he must be outstanding."

"How long will it take us to reach the capital?"

"There's still half a month left."

"I want to go to the inn in my dream."

Xiao Yanxu's face grew serious upon hearing this. Ning'er hadn't slept well during the entire journey, having that dream repeatedly. "Did you dream of where the inn was located and what it was called?"

Gu Yining shook his head. "Oh, I don't know. It was night in the dream, and I only saw the word 'Hidden' on the sign. Forget it, there aren't many clues. Let's hurry back to Beijing. Another half month is too long."

"No, your body can't bear it. Don't worry, Ayi and Gan'er dare not do anything reckless. Unless our Gan'er is crowned a prince and all the forces in the court support him, it will be possible. If we don't go back, they dare not make any move."

Gu Yining thought for a moment, "So, are we going to ask for our grandson to be crowned a prince this time when we go back?"

"Of course, my godson is my grandson. Sons are treated like princes, so naturally grandsons should be treated like princes as well. But I won't let my brother give him too much power."

Gu Yining looked at him for a moment, then leaned over to his ear and whispered, "You don't have that idea?"

"I can't! I'm not cut out to govern a country."

"Well, you won't rebel, but my son and grandson don't think so. Hurry up and get to Beijing as soon as possible!"
