Chapter 99 Who is this
The group did not stay at the gate for long. Lu Yao and the others took down all the things they had bought today and put the rest, except for the gifts they had prepared, back into their own yard.
“Why did you buy so many things?”
Seeing that they bought so many things, Liu Manyun thought that they were for home improvement, so she didn't say anything. But when she heard that the rest were going to be taken to the Rong family, she couldn't help it.
Lu Yao laughed and said she wouldn't do it again.
Before they could even enter the Rong residence, everyone in the family had already been notified and was leaving the courtyard. The eldest and second uncles came forward to introduce themselves to Lu Mingxiu, concluding with, "Yaoyao is a wonderful person. We love her very much. Don't worry, we won't let her suffer even the slightest injustice."
Hearing the other party's assurance, Lu Mingxiu smiled politely: "Then I feel relieved."
Without further ado, Rong Bingwen and the others invited him in. "My humble abode is simple, please don't despise me, dear brother-in-law."
Lu Mingxiu shook his head: "It's already very good."
Over the years, the Lu family has nothing except the house that has been occupied for more than half, and is not much better off than the Rong family.
As for the Rong family, with its unity and progress, I believe it won’t be long before they reach an unimaginable position.
At this moment, he became more determined to take part in the scientific examination.
The group sat down, and the eldest cousin's wife Ye Jiayue and the second cousin's wife Lan Xin came out with teapots and poured a cup of tea for each of them.
Lu Mingxiu picked up the teacup and sniffed it. A refreshing fragrance filled his nostrils. His eyes lit up, "Good tea."
Rong Bingwen was very happy to see him like this: "We made this ourselves. We have some more at home. If you like it, you can take some to drink.
At this point, he sighed softly, "It's rare to meet someone like me. Those guys at home don't have the patience to drink tea and talk with me."
"Brother, you're wrongly accusing me," Rong Bingwu immediately retorted, "I drank too, but you think I was wasting it."
Rong Bingwen didn't give him face: "You are drinking like a cow."
Rong Bingwu was unconvinced, "Isn't tea meant to be drunk? Why do you care how I drink it?"
"It's a waste of resources." Rong Bingwen did not intend to discuss this issue with his unromantic brothers.
After living together for decades, the two have never reached a clear conclusion on this issue.
In short, everyone has their own persistence and opinions, and no one can convince anyone else.
The two began to argue about tasting tea and drinking it like a cow. The rest of the Rong family were used to it. Liu Manyun smiled apologetically at Lu Mingxiu and said, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."
Lu Mingxiu shook his head: "They have a very good relationship."
That’s true.
Liu Manyun nodded. The two brothers would quarrel whenever they got the chance. They had been quarreling all their lives, but their feelings had not faded because of it. On the contrary, after all these years of sharing joys and sorrows, their relationship had become stronger and stronger.
Of course, the relationship between them as sisters-in-law and cousins is also very good.
None of us are the kind of people who are petty, take advantage of others, and are unreasonable. As a family, we understand and tolerate each other and live in harmony. Even if life is a little hard and tiring, it is sweet.
Rong Bingwen and Rong Bingwu argued for a few sentences and then stopped talking.
Humph, if there wasn’t an important guest today, he would definitely make the other party admit defeat!
The two of them thought the same thing.
Seeing the two of them stop, Lu Mingxiu chuckled and took out two boxes from the bag he brought. One of them was given by Lu Yao, and the other was prepared temporarily.
He placed the gift on the table and apologized, "I came here in a hurry and didn't prepare any gifts. This is just a small gift. I hope you won't laugh at me."
They definitely wouldn't be embarrassed. On the contrary, the Rong family felt embarrassed and quickly declined.
Their family got such a grown-up daughter for free, so how could they accept their gifts?
Is Lu Mingxiu the kind of person who gives up easily?
In the end, the Rong family accepted the box.
Just after receiving these, Lu Yao brought out a lot of boxes, which made everyone present look unhappy.
"What's going on with you guys?"
"How much money will it cost to buy so many gifts?"
"We're all family, why are we doing all this nonsense?"
"Don't move it outside, take it back quickly."
“…”
Lu Yao smiled and said, "This is the first time, I won't do it again."
"Yes," Rong Yanhui nodded in agreement, "This is a token of our appreciation. You must accept it. We will pay attention to it in the future."
As for whether or not to give gifts again, we’ll talk about it when the time comes.
The couple distributed gifts one by one. Although everyone didn't want them to spend money, they were still very happy when they actually received the gifts. These were specially prepared by their eldest nephew/nephew's wife/cousin/cousin's wife/brother/cousin's wife/uncle, and it was the first time they received their gifts.
They were all very curious about what was in the box, but were too embarrassed to open it on the spot, including the youngest child, Huaibai, who stared at the box and endured it again and again.
Finally, he tugged at his grandmother's sleeve, motioning her to lower her head, then leaned close to her ear and whispered something. After hearing this, the grandmother couldn't help but rub his head with amusement: "Since you're curious, just open it and take a look, and you'll know."
Xiao Huaibai was a little hesitant. Would it be impolite to open the gift in front of the other person impatiently?
"Actually, I'm also curious about what Yaoyao and the others' gifts are," Rong Bingwu suggested with a smile, "How about we take a look together?"
He was genuinely curious.
Lu Yao and the others didn't mind, they were just worried that they would think the gifts were too valuable and suddenly return without wanting them.
So everyone opened the brocade boxes and checked the gifts they received.
"Wow!" Rong Ziyu was the first to exclaim, "So beautiful."
Lu Yao gave her rose quartz vintage jewelry, including bracelets, earrings, necklaces, hairpins, etc.
Hearing her exclamation, others also came over and were amazed by this set of crystal clear and pink accessories.
Not only is it well-made, but the style is also very novel. They have never been able to guess what material it is made of.
"Is it made of glass?" someone speculated, then quickly denied it. "Glass doesn't have eyes this bright, and besides larger ornaments, there's no jewelry this delicate."
"Could this be newly mined jade?"
"Cousin, what is this? It's so beautiful, it must be very expensive?" Anyway, they had never seen anything so beautiful.
"This is a set of crystal jewelry I found by chance. The first time I saw you, I felt it suited you," she said, helping her put them on. The young girl in front of her instantly became more lively. "Sure enough, it's really beautiful."
Not only did she think so, but everyone in the Rong family also thought so.
only,
This set of jewelry looks very expensive, they can't have it.
Thinking of this, everyone opened their boxes together, and when they saw what was inside, they couldn't help but gasp.
Rong Bingwen not only opened the brocade box sent by Lu Yao and others, but also opened the two boxes sent by Lu Mingxiu.
Seeing this, even he, who was usually calm and reserved, couldn't help but open his eyes wide.
"Tell me the truth, how much silver did you spend on these gifts alone?"
"This is too expensive."
"No, no, we can't have it. Take it back immediately."
"Why are you kids so extravagant?"
“…”
In a nutshell, these gifts are too valuable and they cannot accept them.
"These things were all obtained by chance and didn't cost me much."
"Yeah, don't feel pressured. It's really not as valuable as you think."
Then they talked about how they got these gifts.
It turned out that when they went into the mountains to look for herbs, they met the Westerner. The other party was a businessman who traveled all over the country and went to places farther west. He brought back a lot of local specialties. He wanted to sell these and make a fortune before going home, but he encountered bandits and had to flee with the goods.
The guards and bodyguards he brought with him were either separated or killed. He could only hide in the mountains and was about to die when he met them going up the mountain.
Coincidentally, Lu Yao had some knowledge of pharmacology and medicine because of her brother, so she immediately found some herbs to help him heal.
In the end, the medicine worked, and the Western merchants gave them all the things they had to thank them for saving their lives.
"So, these things are just some worthless herbs returned." Lu Yao said indifferently.
"How could you be so careless, kid? If those criminals were to chase you and find you, wouldn't that be..."
"Yes, yes, you are too brave."
The Rong family did not first lament their luck in getting this batch of things, but were worried about their safety.
I could sense the danger just from their simple description, and now I feel scared when I think about it.
Whether the story content is logical or not is not their concern.
As for its authenticity, they had no doubts.
It's obvious that these things are good things imported from foreign countries. Once they are taken out, they will surely attract many wealthy families to compete for them.
Lu Yao hurriedly comforted him, "Don't worry, Brother Rong and I are very careful. We only took action after we were sure there was no danger."
Rong Yanhui also nodded in agreement.
One lie requires countless lies to cover it up. I just hope my uncles and the others won’t think too much about it.
only,
Unexpectedly, after accepting this statement, they refused to accept it:
"That's what you earned by risking your life to save people. We can't take it."
"These things are very valuable and will definitely fetch a high price."
"You can keep it for yourself and sell it later or use it yourself."
In short, you can't accept it.
Lu Yao and Rong Yanhui were stunned for a moment when they didn't expect that their story would backfire.
However, no matter what they say, there is no reason to take back what has been given away.
If it doesn't make sense, then forget it.
Lu Yao took out a complete set of skin care and makeup products from Qin Tianxiao's box and slowly introduced them to them. The more the women listened, the brighter their eyes became. Is it really that magical?
Lu Yao said at the time that she could perform for them on the spot.
So, Qin Tianxiao, the second aunt, became the first person to try it out.
Lu Yao took her to wash her face with facial cleanser and then did her skin care.
Toner, essence, lotion, primer, BB cream... layer by layer, and finally put on makeup.
Everyone watched Lu Yao's movements with curiosity. It was very pleasing to see her skillfully and calmly changing various tools.
Their gaze moved from the pile of cosmetics to Lu Yao's hands, and finally landed on Qin Tianxiao's face.
Everyone was surprised for a moment. This, this, they hadn't noticed for a moment, and the person in front of them seemed to have changed his face. What was different, but they couldn't tell why.
Lu Yao curled her lips. Now it was time for them to witness the magic of modern everyday makeup.
With Lu Yao's little manipulation, everyone soon miraculously discovered that the facial skin of the middle-aged woman in her forties had undergone tremendous changes.
After putting on makeup, Lu Yao did not stop, but re-combed her hair into a bun, put on the jewelry in the brocade box, and then stepped aside.
Previously, because Lu Yao was trying to operate her, most of her vision was blocked. Now her vision suddenly became clear, and they could see Qin Tianxiao clearly, and they all showed shocked expressions.
"Why do you look like that?" Qin Tianxiao was a little puzzled. She touched her face and asked, "Is it scary?"
Definitely not, Yaoyao said that using these things will make you look younger and more beautiful.
So it’s really beautiful?
She suddenly couldn't wait to see what she looked like now.
Lu Yao, the eloquent woman, seemed to have read her mind. She took out a mirror from her bag (actually a space), and held it in front of her: "Second Aunt, take a look."
"What's this?"
Qin Tianxiao and the others had only used bronze mirrors before, so how could they have seen a mirror that could reflect a person so clearly? When she saw the person in the mirror clearly, she immediately exclaimed, "Who is this?"
