Chapter 685 Xiaoman adds makeup to her second sister
The next morning, Xiaoman came to the mansion early wearing a brand new brocade robe.
As soon as Si Ya saw him, she immediately went to greet him happily.
"Brother, when did you come back? Didn't you say you would come see me when you returned to Beijing?"
Si Ya raised her little face, her tone full of intimate complaints.
"I just arrived yesterday evening." Xiaoman tried to appear calm, but the childishness of a young boy still lingered in his eyes and eyebrows. "I brought you a gift. I'll give it to you tomorrow."
On their way back to Beijing, they traveled along the way and were not in a hurry to travel.
"I'll go put on makeup for my second sister first, and then come back to find you." Xiaoman said.
"I'm going with my brother!" Si Ya excitedly pulled his sleeve. "Second sister looked so beautiful with her makeup today!"
Xiaoman took an exquisite brocade box from the maid behind her and signaled them not to follow.
There must be a lot of people in his second sister's room, and he didn't want to cause trouble.
Sure enough, Erya's boudoir was bustling with women who came to congratulate her and add to her makeup.
The kang table was already filled with various gifts.
Lu Qiniang and the three sisters in the room were very surprised to see Xiaoman.
Xiaoman bowed politely.
Erya looked at the brocade box in his hand and smiled brightly: "Is this for me?"
Xiaoman solemnly offered it with both hands: "I wish my second sister and second brother-in-law a happy and harmonious life together for a hundred years."
"Bring it here for me to see."
Erya took the box with a smile and opened it herself.
Everyone looked over curiously.
Erya imagined that it should be jewelry, and she planned to wear it "as an encouragement" - to let him know that his gift was liked by his second sister, and she would give him more in the future!
When they opened it, everyone was surprised.
Because there were six neatly packed small ingots of silver inside.
One ingot weighs ten taels, a total of sixty taels.
If you think about it carefully, there is nothing to complain about this gift. After all, it is real money.
But it still feels a bit unfamiliar.
The gift from Chang Hui and his wife was one thousand taels of silver.
Just as Erya avoided suspicion towards them, the couple also avoided suspicion.
But Xiaoman is one of our own, and even though he is just a little straw thing, we are still close to each other.
After all, Erya is not short of money.
Erya thought about it and decided to have a good talk with Xiaoman another day.
There are some social ways that my younger brother cannot understand, and as an older sister, I cannot keep silent about them for fear of upsetting him.
Xiaoman seemed to see through her thoughts and explained seriously: "Second sister, I earned these sixty taels of silver myself."
Erya's eyes lit up. "Did you earn it yourself? Tell me, how did you earn it, and how much did you earn?"
Lu Qiniang laughed and scolded from the side: "You are such a money-hungry person! What, do you still want to follow me and make money?"
"Why not?" Erya said confidently, "Maybe it's a good way to make money!"
Xiaoman felt a little embarrassed.
"On my way back to Beijing, when I passed through Qizhou, the locals offered a reward for a solution to the canal water diversion problem. I found a way to help solve it. The reward was only sixty taels."
Because this sixty taels was the first money he earned and had special meaning, he gave it to his second sister.
"But in the future, I will earn more money and become a supporter for my second sister, so that my second brother-in-law will not dare to bully you." Xiaoman said solemnly.
Arya hugged him tightly, "My dear brother!"
Is it the sixty taels of silver that she cares about?
What she cares about is Xiaoman's feelings.
Xiaoman's face immediately turned red, and she struggled in her arms: "Second sister! Let go quickly, men and women shouldn't touch each other..."
Seeing this, everyone in the room couldn't help laughing out loud.
Only Si Ya came over to rescue her brother: "Second sister, please let my brother go! I want to take him to see the handkerchief I embroidered for him!"
Erya let go of Xiaoman, took his hand and said, "This is the most precious gift I have ever received. But you will be a noble and a prime minister in the future. Leave the money-making to me, second sister."
After a pause, she smiled and said, "I can't bear to spend these sixty taels of silver."
Daya smiled gently and said, "I've seen bonsai trees made of gold and silver ingots. They have a very good meaning. Later, you can find someone to beat the silver and make something like that to display."
"Good idea!" Arya nodded repeatedly.
Xiaoman hurriedly said to her elder sister, "Elder sister, I also brought you a gift. I will deliver it to you tomorrow."
His sisters treated him very well, and he could not favor one over the other.
"Okay." Daya responded with a smile, her eyes gentle.
"There's also a gift for my little nephew!" Si Ya whispered.
Xiaoman was very excited when he heard that his elder sister was pregnant, because he was about to become an uncle.
Seeing the room becoming increasingly crowded with people coming and going, San Ya stood up and said, "Come on, I'll take you two out for some fresh air. It's too noisy here."
Her task today is to keep an eye on these two little ones.
However, Si Ya was still thinking about her handkerchief, so she took the two of them directly to her own courtyard.
She took out the handkerchief she had prepared long ago and handed it to Xiaoman as if she was presenting a treasure: "Brother, this is for you!"
Xiaoman took it and looked at the crooked stitches. After a long pause, she finally squeezed out a sentence: "I'm a beginner... it's very, very good that you can embroider like this."
His tone was dry and clearly insincere.
San Ya was trying to hold back her laughter.
Si Ya didn't hear it, and thought Xiao Man was praising her sincerely.
"Brother, please stop praising me. I feel embarrassed when everyone praises me."
San Ya said, I don’t see that you are embarrassed.
I think you are very happy.
Xiaoman, on the other hand, looked really funny as he stood there in a daze.
Xiaoman originally wanted to ask if Si Ya had been studying recently, but she swallowed her words.
He turned to ask Sanya who carried Erya out.
"Me." San Ya teased him deliberately, "How about waiting for you to grow up? Then my second brother-in-law will be so anxious."
Xiaoman showed a look of regret on his face.
He is indeed too small.
Si Ya looked at him and said with a smile, "When I grow up and get married, you can carry me on your back."
Xiaoman immediately raised his head and said, "Of course you can."
Grow up quickly.
San Ya smiled and said nothing.
Two little brats, thinking too far ahead.
Originally, Erya wanted these two to roll in her new bed, but later Lu Qiniang did not agree.
——Don’t interfere in the man’s affairs.
Everyone should take care of their own business.
As a result, both of them were thinking about growing up and getting married.
The auspicious time is approaching, gongs and drums are beating, and joy is everywhere.
The Duke's Mansion's wedding procession came in a grand procession, with Yun Ting at the head wearing a bright red wedding dress, with an upright posture and a high spirit.
He has been looking forward to it for so many years, is it easy?
He can finally "enter the house".
Crown Prince Liu Jian, as the best man, also changed into festive casual clothes and followed beside him, smiling so hard that his mouth almost reached his ears.
If you don’t know, you might think it’s him who’s getting married today.
Liu Jian said that this was just a "preview" for him today!
The eldest and second sisters are married, so the next one is the eldest sister?
