After everything was moved into the house, they sat down to talk. Gao asked, "Why don't you see your elder brother and younger brothers?"
Wang said, "Your eldest brother and his friends went to work in the town. There is a rich family in the town who is building a house. They thought that they would stay at home anyway, so they might as well earn some more money."
Gao nodded.
Wang asked again, "How was Dashan and Ningning's trip to the capital this time?"
Gao was very excited when she talked about this, and said, "Mother, you don't know that the emperor has made Dashan the Earl of Rongchang and Ningning the Princess of Yongjia County. I will also be the Lady of an Earl in the future."
There was a sound of inhalation in the room, and Little Stone asked in confusion: "What is Rongchang Bo, what is County Master, can we eat it?"
An Ning burst out laughing and said, "You little greedy cat, you only know how to eat. This is just a title, just like calling you Little Stone, you can't eat it."
Little Stone nodded somewhat disappointedly and said, "Oh, I can't eat it! Then why is Auntie so happy?"
The childish talk made everyone laugh out loud.
Wang nodded and said, "Okay, that's great!"
Gao took out three brocade boxes, opened one of them, and said to Wang, "Mother, this is a gift to you. Do you like it?"
Wang took the brocade box and looked at it. My goodness, the bright gold jewelry appeared in front of her. She quickly pushed the jewelry back and said, "This is too valuable. Take it back quickly. I am so old, I don't need these things."
When Cui and Li saw their mother-in-law so excited, they stretched their heads to take a look and were also shocked by the gold jewelry in the box.
Gao pushed the box over again and said, "Mother, this is a token of our love. Dashan and I only have you as our elder now. If we don't show respect to you, who else can we show respect to?"
Wang listened to her daughter and picked up the gold hairpin. The hairpin was very heavy and felt quite heavy in her hand. She stroked the patterns on the hairpin with both hands and said, "Just give me this one. I don't want the others."
Seeing this, An Ning said, "Grandma, please accept it. If you don't accept it, my mother will be sad."
Wang looked at the expressions of Gao and An Dashan and knew that they were really giving it to her sincerely, so she nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll accept it."
Gao heaved a sigh of relief when she saw this, because she was afraid that her mother would really not accept it.
Gao saw her mother accept the jewelry, and took out two boxes, handed them to Cui and Li respectively, and said: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, mother has always helped us during this period, and you have been working hard at home. This is a small gift from us, please don't despise it."
Cui and Li opened the box and saw a set of beautiful sterling silver jewelry. There was a pair of silver bracelets, a silver hairpin, and a pair of silver earrings. The patterns on the two sisters-in-law were different. Cui's was a pattern of magpies on plum trees, while Li's was a pattern of butterflies playing with flowers. This was already a very expensive gift in the countryside. Cui said, "Yingniang, you are too polite. It is our job to manage the household. I cannot accept such an expensive gift."
Li also said, "Yes, big sister, please take it back!"
Gao said, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, I give it to you sincerely, so don't refuse it."
Wang also said: "Since it was given to you by Yingniang, you should accept it!"
Only then did Cui and Li happily accept the jewelry.
Gao took out a smaller brocade box and handed it to Cuicui, who was sitting quietly beside her, and said, "Cuicui, this is a gift for you. Do you like it?"
An Ning smiled as she opened the brocade box, took out the silver bracelet from it, put it on her cousin Cuicui, and said, "Cousin, I picked this for you. Do you like it?"
Cuicui looked at the beautiful silver bracelet on her wrist, smiled happily, and said sweetly: "Thank you, aunt, uncle, and cousin."
Gao looked at her graceful niece and liked her very much.
After giving the gifts to several people, Gao opened another box and took out the red silk on top, saying, "This is the finest silk given by the emperor. I thought Yunfu would get married soon, and the wedding dress made of this silk would be very beautiful, so I brought it here."
The people in the room were stunned after hearing this. This was a gift from the emperor! Wang was the first to react. She stood up, reached out and touched the bright red silk with dark patterns, and said, "Ying Niang, take this back quickly. How can you give away something given by the emperor? Besides, Yun Fu is a rough man. It would be a waste for him to wear this. You should save it for Ning Ning to wear as wedding clothes when she gets married."
An Ning helped Wang sit down, and then said, "Grandma, it's too early for me to get married. Besides, the emperor has given us a lot of silk and satin, and we can't wear them all. It will be bad if we keep them for too long."
Wang wanted to say something, but then she heard Gao say, "Mother, don't worry about this. This is my gift as your aunt." Wang didn't say anything more after hearing that.
Gao pointed to the remaining pieces of fine cotton cloth in the box and said, "These are all top-quality fine cotton cloth. You can keep them and make your own clothes."
The other people in the room had become numb and no longer refused.
An Dashan pointed at the pile of specialties and said, "These cakes and food are all specialties of the capital. You can try some of them."
Wang smiled and nodded, saying, "Dashan is thoughtful."
After finishing talking, Cui stood up and said, "It's getting late, let's go cook, you guys continue chatting." Then she went to the kitchen with Li.
Cuicui took An Ning to her room, and Gao took Wang into Wang's room with the child in her arms to talk privately. Suddenly, An Dashan and a few idiots were left in the room.
After Gao and Wang entered the house, Gao closed the door and said, "Mom, this is pocket money for you. You can keep it for yourself." Then she took out a purse.
Wang weighed it and estimated that there were at least twenty taels of silver in it. She asked, "Does Qian Dashan know about this?"
Gao nodded and said, "I know. Dashan thinks I gave him too little."
After hearing this, Wang said, "Dashan is a good person. You must treat him well in the future."
Gao nodded and said, "Don't worry, mother."
Wang took the silver and said, "I'll take it."
The mother and daughter chatted for a while, but were interrupted by a cry.
Gao looked at her son who was crying loudly, touched his little butt and said, "The child has peed." Then she quickly changed little Anrui's diaper. After changing his diaper, he should feel better and stopped crying.
Wang said: "This child is quite well behaved."
