"Look, my husband, your wife is amazing, isn't she? The mooncakes look particularly beautiful with this packaging, and they are elegant, luxurious and classy!" Su Wenyue showed a bit of pride on her face when she talked about her masterpiece, which made her look much more energetic. Han Yu originally wanted to stop Su Wenyue from doing these, but seeing Su Wenyue like this, he didn't stop her. Then he moved his eyes to those unique and exquisite boxes, and his eyes lit up.
"You said this is a mooncake gift box?" Han Yu picked up a mooncake gift box and observed it in his hand for a while. This gift box is not only exquisite and beautiful in appearance, but also has a hidden button inside, which can be opened with a press of the hand. Inside are several large and small mooncakes with different fillings. The patterns on the mooncakes are also quite exquisite and beautiful. Han Yu opened another few mooncake gift boxes. The gift boxes are divided into several levels. Some are two-layered and can be opened by hand, just like a drawer. The bottom layer also contains mooncakes, and each one has a set of knives and forks for sharing the mooncakes.
Han Yu suspected that the secret technique passed down by Lu Ban was used in this. He didn't know what was in his wife's little head. How could she come up with such a novel idea? It was just a kind of food, but after she thought about it and made it into something different, it looked decent and novel as a gift, more decent than giving ordinary gold, silver and jade articles.
If the idea of the gift box was inspired by Concubine Li, the small mechanism in the box was added by Su Wenyue herself. In her previous life, when Su Wenyue was free in the Sikong family's library, she accidentally touched a yellowed booklet that she found by the mechanism. I'm afraid that even the people of the Sikong family didn't know that they had such a secret treasure. It was the Luban secret technique that Han Yu suspected. However, Luban's secret technique was too magical, and Su Wenyue didn't dare to reveal too much, so she could only use the fur she learned in such a small place.
"How is it? This mooncake gift box is pretty good, isn't it? I originally wanted to give you some embroidery. Anyway, it only takes some time to embroider and doesn't cost much. But now I'm pregnant and the nanny doesn't allow me to do embroidery. Embroidery is not easy to come by. A larger embroidery will take a month to embroider even if I work day and night. This idea is not feasible. Besides, if you have too much of something, you won't be precious. Although my embroidery skills are good, I'd better use them at the critical moment."
My wife wants to embroider and sell products for money and give them as gifts. Not only does the nanny disapprove even though Su Wenyue is pregnant, but Han Yu also disapproves even if Su Wenyue is not pregnant. Han Yu didn't know that his wife was planning this before, and he thought she liked it so he didn't stop her. Now that he knows, how can he indulge her!
"No, don't think about it again, even after the baby is born. Too much embroidery can damage your eyes. Even if I, Han Yu, am incompetent, I don't need you to harm your body to plan these things. If the family doesn't have enough money, just tell me and I will naturally find a way." Han Yu said without question. Su Wenyue knew that this attitude was a matter of principle.
Su Wenyue did not refute Han Yu, but pointed at the mooncake gift box in Han Yu's hand.
"I understand. There is enough money at home, but there are still many places to give gifts, big and small festivals, birthdays, childbirth, and so on. We have to find ways to save money. So I came up with this mooncake gift box. With this, I can add some fabrics and food and it will be enough." Su Wenyue said this and felt that she was becoming more and more virtuous and had the demeanor of a good wife and mother.
Han Yu also understood what Su Wenyue said. Even though he was just a small official, it would be fine if he was content with the status quo. Some things can be done or not. If he wanted to climb up, there were many tricks involved.
"You don't need to prepare other food. I'll go to the mountains and hunt some wild animals in two days. I can add them to the gifts. It will save money and make them look better." Han Yu said after a moment's silence.
"You should also have someone prepare more gifts for my father-in-law and mother-in-law. I will personally check them and then send them over." Han Yu thought that he didn't leave any for the Yue family last time when he killed the big tiger in exchange for silver. His father-in-law liked to eat game, so he would kill more game this time and send it to the Yue family. The Yue family has helped him a lot these days, and even if he can't repay them immediately, he should at least show his gratitude.
Su Wenyue understood what Han Yu meant and nodded in agreement. That was her parents' home, and it would not be good for her to differentiate too much from her husband's family. She left the matter to Han Yu. She was very happy that Han Yu had such intentions.
Han Yu had no objection to the gift from her husband's family, so Su Wenyue sent someone to deliver it the next day.
Old Man Han and Miss Yang are discussing matters concerning the Mid-Autumn Festival at this moment. Although the Han family has split up, everyone should still celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival together. You can't write two Han characters with one stroke. Although the family has split up, family ties cannot be severed. However, the fourth brother and his wife are probably not going to come back from the military camp, so it will inevitably be a little lonely.
Thinking of the baby in the belly of the fourth son's wife, Yang wondered whether she should send some food to the fourth son and his wife. She couldn't reach them from such a distance. Otherwise, she should give some nourishment to the fourth son's wife. The fourth son's wife had a weak body, and only if she nourished the baby in her belly more could it be white and plump. After such a long time without seeing her, Yang no longer complained about her youngest daughter-in-law, but was more concerned about her son's family. As for Wang, who was also pregnant, Yang automatically passed by her.
"Dad, Mom, come out quickly, the fourth son and his wife sent someone to give us holiday gifts!" Han Jincai and his wife were talking in the room when they heard the eldest daughter-in-law shouting loudly outside.
When they heard that it was their youngest son and daughter-in-law who had sent holiday gifts, the old couple hurried out and saw a well-dressed maid carrying a bundle coming in. They took a closer look and realized it was Xiaoxi, and their faces became even happier. Xiaoxi had lived in the Han family for so long, and everyone had some feelings for her, so they saw that she was different from other servants. That was why Su Wenyue sent Xiaoxi to her hometown to deliver gifts.
Behind Xiaoxi were two men who were equally well-dressed. They looked like servants of Han Yu's family. Xiaoxi explained that they were the guards sent by the Su family to their master and his wife. The Han family looked at them again and found that the two men were indeed a little different. They were worthy of being guards. It was obvious that they had practiced some skills. Even their walking posture was different, and they were more imposing than ordinary people.
Thinking that their son was now an official and even had guards employed, Old Man Han and Madam Yang were proud of their son, and their faces brightened.
Xiaoxi and his companions came in a horse-drawn carriage, making quite a scene. When the villagers saw this, they all came to the Han family to watch the fun. They had heard a long time ago that the fourth son of the Han family had become successful and became an official, and some were envious and some were jealous.
