Actually, presenting such a "generous gift" is not just a greeting gift, but more of a way of repaying Uncle Jiang Yu for his help when his family fled.
In that situation, even if the two families had a good relationship before, many people would choose to keep to themselves rather than get involved.
It is truly rare to find someone as considerate and kind as Uncle Jiang Yu, who not only took in their entire family but also prepared travel permits for them.
Shen Xingmian was never stingy in giving more benefits to those who were willing to help in times of need.
Besides, she genuinely likes Uncle Jiang Yu and Rui Rui, and hopes that the two can overcome their current difficulties and eventually become a perfect couple that everyone envies.
In her eyes, Uncle Jiang Yu was simply an ancient version of a pure love god. First, he remained single for so many years because of her mother, and then he threw himself into Rui Rui's life and never thought of leaving again.
His involvement in both of these relationships, regardless of which one, was far beyond the choices that his status would have allowed him to make.
If this were in modern times, he would definitely be a prominent young master from Beijing's elite circles.
Let alone one girlfriend, even if you find three or five, since they all know about each other, there probably won't be any trouble.
Moreover, in ancient times when having multiple wives and concubines was commonplace.
Such devotion is truly touching.
After making two mirrors with contrasting styles, Shen Xingmian picked up two glass bracelets. These modern handicrafts, which she had seen countless times before, now seemed uniquely beautiful when she looked at them again.
I clearly bought it for 9.9 yuan with free shipping.
She used to enjoy watching live streams for a while, which featured small items like beads and sequins that could be strung together to make bracelets or necklaces, or even applied to nails.
These items all have one thing in common: they are very beautiful and very cheap.
In modern times, these items have attracted a lot of attention, with some fans spending their days in live streams, rushing to grab any attractive new products they see.
I never imagined that these little trinkets would be worth so much more in ancient times.
And also, she has many scarves, all bought during her early years of earning money as a form of revenge spending to make up for her childhood.
The scarves weren't fancy; instead, they had fresh and elegant designs. They came in different sizes, but all felt nice to the touch and were very pretty.
Why didn't she think of that before?
Even without superpowers, if I were to transmigrate into a poor family, I could probably easily become rich by selling these trinkets.
Having experienced the hardships of working in his previous life, Shen Xingmian truly doesn't want to get rich through hard work in this life and is eager to take shortcuts.
Thankfully, she finally made it happen in this lifetime.
Shen Xingmian carefully placed the mirror into two appropriately sized boxes.
Speaking of these boxes, none of them were bought by her; they all came with the treasures she had taken from the capital.
Some of the treasures were displayed on shelves, but most were kept in boxes to prevent them from getting dusty.
This is perfect for her; she doesn't even need to go to the market, the gift is already prepared.
After leaving the space with the two boxes, Shen Xingmian saw that Uncle Jiang Yu was also in the room, so she opened the gift boxes and showed them to the two of them.
The two had seen quite a few good things, but they were still taken aback when they saw such a clear mirror.
Especially Yu Xiurui, she carefully took the mirror out of the box, looked closely at the person in the mirror who seemed to be facing her, and couldn't help but slightly twitch the corners of her mouth. The person in the mirror returned her a beautiful smile.
She was even more shocked.
It's so clear, it's like another version of myself is standing right in front of me!
"My goodness, I've never seen such a masterpiece before. It must be incredibly valuable," Yu Xiurui exclaimed.
Shen Xingmian felt a little guilty and didn't dare to think about its original price.
Fortunately, she specially used silver to make the lace trim, which made it a little more "expensive," so that she wouldn't feel so guilty that she would break out in a sweat when she received praise.
She chuckled and said, "After all, it's for Uncle Jiang Yu's family. It's only right, only right."
Jiang Yu was truly moved by these words. He thought of how he had treated the little girl as his own daughter when she was still an infant.
Now that she's so willing to be close to her family, it warms my heart to no end.
Although he is an elder, there is still a difference between men and women, so it's best not to do things like "patting someone's head".
He only regretted that he met Rui Rui too late, and that he couldn't have a son of the right age to marry Mian Mian and make her a member of his family.
That's such a shame.
Such a good child, who knows who will benefit from him in the end.
"By the way, Uncle, you should have this ginseng processed so that it can be preserved for a long time. Right now... it's really too fresh."
Yu Xiurui had already seen the ginseng that was comparable to a radish, so she remained relatively calm. Jiang Yu, on the other hand, was seeing it for the first time and his expression was somewhat out of control.
He pointed at the ginseng incredulously and said, "This...it's ridiculously big! How many years must it have been growing? It's too precious, Uncle can't accept it!"
He waved his hands repeatedly and even took a step back to strengthen his resolve to refuse.
This was something he found hard to refuse. His father was still at the border, and his grandmother was very old. This ginseng was a lifesaver for his family.
But for the Shen family, isn't it the same?
Uncle Shen has taken over the northern army and has to guard against the northern barbarian bandits every day. This old ginseng can also save his life.
He really can't have him.
Hearing him say that, Shen Xingmian felt that her sincerity had not been misplaced.
Sincerity isn't just for romantic love; it applies to family and friendship as well.
When you consider others, they immediately consider you too; that feeling is very comforting.
She firmly placed the box into Uncle Jiang Yu's arms:
"Don't refuse anymore, there will be more in the future, trust me! Okay, let's look at the other gifts. It's Rui Rui's first time visiting, so the gifts can't be stingy."
These words reminded Jiang Yu that when he took Rui Rui away from the villa, he had thought that if there was a possibility of going home together, he couldn't put Rui Rui in a difficult position.
So he prepared a lot of things, many of which he had collected in his spare time, and they came in handy.
Oh right, those things...
"Ah! I prepared everything beforehand and put it in the tent. Let's go back together and pick out a few things, that will be enough."
Jiang Yu wanted to say that he hadn't thought things through, but when he thought about the cartload of stuff, he felt that he had actually thought things through quite "thoroughly," so there was no need to be overly modest.
Instead, he happily led the two inside to make their selection.
