Tian An thought it was troublesome to hold a banquet and didn't want to go through the trouble, so Mrs. An had no choice but to give in to her, thinking that she could find an opportunity to make up for it later.
Fortunately, Mrs. An came prepared today.
After Tian An returned to her room and changed into the new dress that Mrs. An had brought her, she returned to the hall and offered her tea in front of everyone. She then changed her words and called her "godmother."
Mrs. An took the tea handed to her by Tian An with a smile on her face, put it to her mouth, took a sip, put down the teacup, and then picked up a box on the table.
After opening it, she took out a jade bracelet of excellent quality and put it on Tian An herself. "This is a special gift that godmother prepared for you."
Tian An felt the coolness brought by the bracelet and said sincerely, "Thank you, godmother. You took the trouble. I like it very much."
After serving tea to Madam An, Tian An walked over to Duke An and bowed to him, "An An greets godfather."
Then he took the tea from the maid's tray and said, "Godfather, please have some tea."
Duke An took Tian An's tea, put down the cup, and took out a jade pendant from his sleeve pocket and gave it to Tian An. "This is a unique identity symbol for every child in our An family. From today on, you are also a child of the An family."
Tian An was somewhat touched. The Duke and Duchess of Anguo really treated her as a family member.
After offering tea to the Duke of Anguo and his wife, Tian An turned to the three young masters of the An family and greeted them one by one.
First, he bowed to the eldest brother, Anyichen, and said, "Big Brother."
An Yichen stood up, returned the bow, and handed her a box.
"Sister An An, this is a meeting gift from Big Brother. I didn't know what you like, so I just picked a wolf brush at random. From now on, we are a family. If you encounter any troubles in the future, feel free to come to Big Brother."
Looking at the gentle and refined An Yichen, Tian An blinked and said playfully, "Do you only go to Big Brother when you're in trouble?"
An Yichen was stunned for a few seconds before he smiled and said, "Sister, come visit the Duke's Mansion often in the future. No matter what you need, you can come to see me, big brother."
Tian An nodded seriously, "That's what Big Brother said himself, so don't think I'm troublesome in the future!"
An Yichen smiled and nodded.
"Second brother."
Tian An walked up to the second-in-command, An Yiji, and greeted him.
An Yijie stood up to return the gift and took out an exquisite little box and handed it to her. "Ever since my parents said they wanted to adopt you as their goddaughter, I went to pick out this velvet flower for you."
Looking at the exquisite jewelry box in An Yiji's hand which was engraved with the logo of her own Huanyanfang, Tian An was a little amused and helpless for a moment. Her silly second brother probably didn't know that Huanyanfang was opened by her!
I actually bought her own things and gave them to her.
Seeing that Tian An didn't take the box for a long time, An Yijie asked uncertainly: "An An doesn't like velvet flowers?"
Then he muttered to himself, "That shouldn't be the case! The guy in the store said that girls really like this velvet flower one, and I bought it because I thought it looked pretty."
Xiaokang, who was standing by, couldn't help but say, "That's the velvet flower sold in my sister's shop."
Mrs. An was surprised and asked, "Is it An An who opened Huanyanfang in the capital?"
Tian An nodded and took the box from An Yijie with a smile, "Thank you, second brother, for taking care of the business."
An Yijie touched the back of his head awkwardly and said with a smile, "Of course, we are siblings after all!"
He secretly sighed in his heart, thinking that his sister-in-law was really rich. He had to save money to buy a velvet flower, but his sister-in-law had a shop full of velvet flowers! How much money must this be worth!
Although the An family is not short of money, they are extremely strict in educating their children. Their food, clothing and other expenses are limited every month. An Yijie is not a person who is good at planning, so the end of each month is the most difficult time for him.
It's only the fifteenth day of the lunar month. If it's a few days later, he probably won't even be able to afford the money to buy velvet flowers.
An Yiji is a man, and he only went to Huanyanfang once this time to buy a gift for Tian An. In his eyes, Huanyanfang is just a shop selling velvet flowers.
Mrs. Ke An knows more about this aspect. The velvet flowers in Huanyanfang are just the tip of the iceberg, and skin care products are the protagonist.
It has a place in the circle of noble ladies in the capital. Even some concubines in the palace asked their families to buy some for them to move in, which shows how popular it is.
And they recently opened several more branches. If Huanyanfang is really Tian An's, then this girl is incredible! She's definitely a wealthy woman.
After seeing Tian An finish greeting his two brothers, An Yikun immediately withdrew his gaze and sat upright, waiting for Tian An.
But after waiting for a long time, there was no movement. I couldn't help but look back and found that all the adults in the room were looking at me, and Tian An had already returned to his seat.
Before he could open his mouth in confusion, Duke Anguo frowned and said, "Kun'er, why haven't you gone to see your sister yet? How did you learn the rules from the past?"
An Yikun then realized that he was younger than Tian An, so he should be the one to greet Tian An.
She could only hurriedly stand up and walk towards Tian An to greet him politely, and said with a silly smile: "Sister An An, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Tian An smiled and stood up to return the gift, then took the box from Xiang Tao's hand and handed it to him, "This is a meeting gift for you."
An Yikun pointed at himself in surprise, "For me?"
Seeing Tian An nod, he happily took the box, and no longer felt disappointed.
When he saw his two brothers preparing a gift for Tian An, he joined in preparing. However, he didn't expect that Tian An was older than him and didn't need to give him any gift at all.
He was feeling lost! Unexpectedly, Tian An also prepared a gift for him. It seems that being young does have its advantages. At least his two brothers didn't receive any gifts.
An Yikun opened the box on the spot, and inside was a smooth and shiny "stick" like iron, and a bottle of black water in a glass bottle.
"What is this?" An Yikun looked at the thing in his hand with a confused look on his face.
Xiaokang stood up and took a look, then said excitedly, "This is a fountain pen. My brother-in-law Yiming also has one. It can write very small characters without dipping it in ink."
Xiao Qi also said with envy: "It's a pity that we are too young. Sister said that she will wait until we are older before sending us."
Tian An had forgotten about the matter of adopting a godmother and had not made any preparations in advance, so he could only temporarily take out a pen from the space and give it to An Yikun.
Seeing the envy on Xiaokang and Xiaoqi's faces, An Yikun was very pleased. Although he didn't like writing, a pen that didn't need to be dipped in ink sounded impressive, and more importantly, he was the only one who had it.
After receiving the gift from Tian An, he did not forget to give Tian An the little gadgets he had prepared.
Tian An's recognition of his relatives was over, and next it was Xiaokang and Xiaoqi's turn. The two little ones were talkative and sweet-mouthed, making the Duke and his wife laugh heartily, and they kept saying that Tian Mingwu was good at raising children.
But the happier they were, the more depressed Tian Mingwu became. His beloved daughter and son had to be divided up by others.
The two little ones turned around with a bunch of gifts in their hands, grinning from ear to ear with joy. An Yikun finally felt the joy of being a big brother, and happily distributed the gifts he had prepared to the two little ones.
He acted like an elder brother and took them to have fun in the garden.
