Chapter 924: Gift
Speaking of which, since Tang Bao was going to come to the General's Mansion, she naturally sent an invitation in advance according to etiquette.
So, the people in the general's mansion knew that Tang Bao was coming, but they didn't know that it was Xuanyuan Jin who accompanied Tang Bao.
As a result, no sedan chair was prepared for Xuanyuan Jin.
Xuanyuan Jin naturally wouldn't blame the housekeeper for this. After hearing what the housekeeper said, he simply said, "That's not necessary."
After saying that, he motioned Tang Bao to get into the sedan chair.
Tang Bao: “…”
All right.
Tang Bao got on the sedan chair, and two sturdy old women lifted it up easily.
The weight of a girl like Tang Bao is as light as a feather to them.
Two maids carried the sedan chair and headed steadily towards the eldest lady's courtyard.
Xuanyuan Jin took a step and followed the sedan chair.
When the housekeeper saw this, she was secretly shocked.
I've heard for a long time that the Third Prince loves the little girl from the Su family very much, and it seems to be true.
The eldest lady's yard was not far away and they arrived there soon.
At this time, the first lady, the second lady, and the girls from each branch of the Su family were already there.
The first and second wives were also slightly surprised when they saw Xuanyuan Jin.
They also didn't expect that Xuanyuan Jin valued Tang Bao so much and personally sent Tang Bao over.
"Jin'er greets my aunt and second aunt." Xuanyuan Jin bowed.
The First and Second Ladies were naturally very happy to see that every time Xuanyuan Jin came, he was so polite and had no airs of a prince at all. He was just a junior.
"We are all family, no need to be so polite." The eldest lady said with a smile on her face.
Yang Ran brought several girls from the Yang family and stepped forward to salute Xuanyuan Jin.
"Hello, cousin." Yang Ran's voice was gentle and soft.
Xuanyuan Jin nodded slightly.
"Cousins, there's no need to be so polite."
The tone was cold, polite yet courteous.
Then, he turned his head to look at Tang Bao and introduced her: "This is my eldest aunt, and this is my second aunt."
Tang Bao immediately stepped forward and bowed to the first and second wives with a smile.
"Junior Su Tang, meet the two aunts."
The first and second wives were slightly startled when they heard Tang Bao's address.
Logically speaking, since Tang Bao is the old general's goddaughter, she should call the two ladies aunt or aunt.
However, Tang Bao just followed Xuanyuan Jin's name.
This naturally made the two wives of the Yang family very puzzled.
In fact, they had no idea that this was Xuanyuan Jin's request.
In Xuanyuan Jin's words, Tang Bao is only the old general's goddaughter, but not the niece of the two ladies of the Yang family.
Moreover, since Tang Bao, like him, calls the Empress Dowager "grandmother", then it is understandable that she follows him in calling the two ladies of the Yang family "aunts".
Tang Bao felt that Xuanyuan Jin's way of speaking was a bit roundabout, and was speechless about Xuanyuan Jin's reasons, but she didn't care about such a name.
Naturally, he followed Xuanyuan Jin's advice.
The first and second wives were startled for a moment, then quickly stretched out their hands with smiles on their faces, one on each side, to pull Tang Bao up.
"Get up quickly. We are all family, so there is no need to worry about those conventional rituals." The eldest lady said with a smile.
"That's right." The Second Madam also smiled and said, "We've been looking forward to your coming. We've heard about you for so many years, and now we finally see you in person."
Tang Bao didn't expect that the two aunts of the Yang family would be so enthusiastic.
"The journey is long, and I haven't been able to come to the capital to pay my respects to my two aunts. I hope you won't mind." Tang Bao said in a clear voice.
After hearing what Tang Bao said, the two ladies of the Yang family looked at the delicate girl in front of them and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, how could she look like a girl from the country?
She is in no way inferior to the daughters who were carefully brought up by wealthy families.
After Tang Bao finished speaking, he instructed Shi Liu and others to present the gifts they brought.
"These wild mushrooms and dried goods were all picked from the mountains and dried at home. Please don't mind them, aunts." Tang Bao said with a smile, "These medicinal herbs were also picked from the mountains and prepared at home... And these two boxes of health pills, I brewed them myself..."
Tang Bao pointed and explained one by one.
In short, after all the talk, there are a lot of things, but I didn’t spend any money, I got them all by myself.
Of course, this shows your thoughtfulness better than anything you buy with money.
And he seems to be not shy.
The first and second wives naturally understood this.
So, they both smiled and said, "That's thoughtful."
They hadn't originally expected Tang Bao to bring any expensive gifts.
Tangbao only brought some local specialties from her hometown, and they were very happy.
Little did they know that although those dry goods were not very valuable, they were all of high quality.
It is not easy to buy in the market.
Not to mention the medicinal herbs.
What's more, there are two bottles of health pills made by Tang Bao herself.
However, all the herbs were packed in the box.
As for the health-preserving pills, the first and second wives also thought that they were just ordinary health-preserving pills taken by wealthy families.
There's nothing rare about it.
They won't even eat it.
This kind of pill can either be prepared by one's own doctor or purchased from a famous pharmacy.
Basically I won't eat food given to me by others.
The first and second wives also gave Tang Bao gifts.
The first lady gave a pair of pure gold shrimp-whisker bracelets, and the second lady gave a pair of red agate bracelets.
If we only talk about the value, it is naturally incomparable to what Tangbao gave.
Tang Bao took it with a smile and thanked the two ladies of the Yang family.
The eldest lady introduced Tang Bao to several girls from the Yang family.
Yang Ran brought several sisters forward and greeted Tang Bao.
Tang Bao naturally also brought gifts for the girls from the Yang family.
The three sisters Yang Ran, Yang Die and Yang Yu are older, and each of them received a bottle of beauty cream.
Yang Jing and Yang Yan were both young, one nine years old and the other seven years old, and each had a pair of sparkling glass bead flowers.
Yang Yan was the youngest and the eldest daughter of the eldest wife. After receiving the colorful glass beads from Tang Bao, her eyes sparkled and she couldn't let it go. She wanted to wear it on her head immediately.
You should know that this kind of pearl flowers are only sold in foreign goods shops in the capital.
"Fourth sister, it's so beautiful!" Yang Yan said happily to Yang Jing in a low voice while holding the pearl flowers.
Yang Jing glared at Yang Yan and said, "You are ignorant! They are just a few broken beads!"
The smile on Yang Yan's face disappeared, and she lowered her head in fear.
Because of Yang Jing's words, the joyful atmosphere in the room froze for a moment.
Xuanyuan Jin's face darkened slightly.
The eldest lady glanced at Xuanyuan Jin and her heart skipped a beat.
After all, Yang Jing is her biological daughter.
She was not afraid that Tang Bao would annoy her little daughter, but she was afraid that Xuanyuan Jin would annoy her little daughter.
The eldest lady quickly looked at Tang Bao and said apologetically, "Your sister is young and has been spoiled by me since she was a child. She is ignorant and you should not argue with her."
Tang Bao was not the type to argue with a little girl about this. Upon hearing this, she smiled and said, "Aunt, you are too kind."
