Tang's mother saw from the window a group of people carrying boxes and walking into the yard.
It looked just like the betrothal gifts from the past! After tucking the three little ones into blankets, they curiously emerged from the house.
"Guo'er, what is this?"
Wen Guoer smiled and introduced Tang's mother, "Mom, this is my third uncle. He's visiting our house for the first time today and wants to see the children."
"Mrs. Tang, how are you? This is my first visit. This is a gift for Guo'er. Please accept it!"
The Third Master greeted Tang's mother politely, still following the etiquette of the Republic of China era, appearing very solemn.
"Oh! It's her third uncle! Come on, come in! Why are you bringing gifts when your family comes? Don't do that again!"
Tang's mother had also heard some of the things going on with her son's mother-in-law's family. She couldn't help but wonder where this third uncle of hers had appeared from.
Although my heart was pounding, I still warmly welcomed the person into the house.
The three of them sat in front of the main hall, and Wen Guoer poured a cup of tea for Tang's mother and the third master.
The seven mahogany boxes carried by his men were placed in the main room, taking up most of the space.
"Open them all!" The Third Master pursed his lips and ordered his men.
In the first box was a complete set of phoenix crowns and robes.
The Third Master pointed at the clothes in the box and looked at Wen Guoer: "Your uncle missed your wedding, so this is your wedding dress. Go and take a look. Do you like it?"
Wen Guoer really didn't expect that the Third Master would give her a wedding dress! Which woman doesn't want to wear a beautiful wedding dress when she gets married?
But when she got married, she had just arrived in this strange world and hadn't figured out the situation yet, but the wedding was already over!
She had to admit that she felt a little regretful.
"This dress is so beautiful! Guo'er, come on! Put it on and try it on." Tang's mother was also amazed by the clothes in the box. This was something that ordinary people had never seen!
Wen Guoer walked to the box and unfolded the clothes one by one.
This set of phoenix crown and bridal robe is just like the ones used by ancient queens, showing nobility and elegance.
The phoenix crown is made of pure gold and inlaid with colorful gems, each of which is as bright and dazzling as a star.
A phoenix on the crown spreads its wings as if ready to fly, its feathers so delicate that you can almost hear its melodious chirping.
The xiapei is woven from silk and is colorful, like the sunset glow on the horizon, gorgeous yet solemn. The shawl is embroidered with a pattern of a phoenix flying through peonies, with the phoenix spreading its wings and the peonies in full bloom, symbolizing good luck and wealth.
Even though she had seen a lot in her previous life, Wen Guoer couldn't help but be impressed by the exquisite workmanship!
This is not just a gorgeous piece of clothing. Every stitch and every thread embodies the craftsman's hard work. It is also a work of art that carries history and culture!
"Thank you, Third Uncle! I like this dress very much!" Feeling the Third Uncle's sincerity, Wen Guoer spoke from the heart.
"Why are you being so polite to my Third Uncle? My little princess from the Lan family deserves the best!"
As the Third Master spoke, he signaled his men to open the box at the back.
It was filled with all kinds of precious silks, cloths and spices, and boxes of jewellery sparkled in the sun.
Tang's mother was stunned!
"Guo'er, this..."
Mother Tang looked at Wen Guoer with some worry. This thing is good, but it cannot be put on the table now!
"Don't worry, old lady! Compared to what my Lan family contributed to the higher-ups back then, this is just a drop in the bucket! The higher-ups all know about it, and no one will come to investigate!"
Tang's mother finally felt relieved! However, she was even more confused: How did her daughter-in-law get involved with the Lan family again?
The Third Master pointed at the things in the box and said arrogantly:
"Xiao Guo'er, these are only part of your dowry! Don't be stingy, use them freely!"
Tang's mother was truly astonished by her daughter-in-law's uncle! Just these few boxes alone, an ordinary family would probably never be able to spend them all in several lifetimes, right? From what he said, this was only a portion?
His eldest son really married a golden phoenix!
Wen Guoer knew her relationship with the Lan family, so she felt it would be unreasonable not to accept the gift. So she nodded and accepted it.
At this time, the three little kids in the inner room were unhappy!
Mom and grandma have been out for so long, and no one changed their wet diapers. It’s so uncomfortable!
"Is this the child waking up?"
When the Third Master heard the child crying, he asked with a happy expression! He had already investigated Wen Guoer's situation very clearly, and naturally knew that he had three more little nephews.
"Look at us, we forgot about the children while chatting!" Tang's mother said as she walked into the inner room.
The third master was not in a position to enter the inner room of the woman's house, so he stood at the door eagerly, full of expectations for his three little nephews.
Tang's mother changed the diapers for the three little ones, and soon pushed the crib out.
It was also thanks to Wen Guoer that she designed four wheels at the bottom of the crib, otherwise it would be really inconvenient to move around with three children.
The three little ones were very excited, kicking their legs and feet in their cribs, entertaining themselves without crying or making any noise.
"Oh, you're really fat!" The third master bent over and supported the small bed, with a doting look on his face.
"My dear children, I am your great uncle. Come and look at me. Am I as cute as you?"
Uncle San has been living abroad for many years and has quite avant-garde ideas. When chatting with the children, he didn't act like an elder at all. He was like an old child, with exaggerated expressions, which made the three little ones giggle.
The men at the door had never expected that the usually aloof Third Master could have such a tender side! They stared at each other in astonishment.
"With them, the Lan family has hope!" The Third Master sighed and looked at Wen Guoer.
"Is your last name Wen because you took your mother's? Now that your identity has been confirmed, when do you plan to change your last name back?"
Only then did Wen Guoer realize that this was a problem that she had to face.
The reason she never mentioned changing her surname was, firstly, because she was a member of the Wen family in her previous life and she still had a fondness for that era. Secondly, because her biological mother in this era also had the surname Wen, which gave her a reason not to change it.
Besides, after being called Wen Guoer for so many years, it feels weird to suddenly change my surname!
But at this moment, there was no reason for her to have the surname Wen anymore! The Wen family of this era was the one that had ruined her mother's life!
As for changing the surname to Su? Or Lan?
Wen Guoer felt that it was necessary to discuss this with her grandfather and father! After all, the older generation still had a strong sense of family!
"Let me discuss this matter with my family before making a decision," Wen Guoer replied to the Third Master.
"From the bottom of my heart, I still hope that you can take the surname Lan. The Lan family has too few members!" The Third Master suddenly sighed sadly.
Wen Guoer nodded in sympathy.
