"I told you to talk until you fainted. I came here today to tell you something important!"

Mrs. Chen said so.

After hearing this, Chen Hean put down the needle and thread in his hands and looked at Madam Chen seriously.

"Mother, please speak. Your daughter is listening!"

"In less than half a year, you will marry into the Gu family. They sent a message saying that they will set off back to Jinling City in a few days to arrange your wedding. Your mother-in-law will definitely come first. If you are invited to visit, have you thought of a gift to give her?"

"We have to prepare for something so early?"

"My dear girl, she is a first-class duke's wife, a person who has supported three emperors and whose merits are held in high esteem. You have only met her twice. As the old saying goes, sharpening your spear before a battle is better than sharpening it. Although you will not have many days to rule under her in the future, you should at least leave a good impression on her, which will also be beneficial to you in the future."

After hearing his mother say this, Chen Hean also started to think about this matter seriously.

But after a moment, I really felt a little embarrassed.

"My future mother-in-law has no shortage of power, wealth, or popularity. This gift is really hard to give."

"If it were an ordinary matter, why would I make this trip? Right now I have no idea what to do, so I came to discuss it with you."

It is not appropriate to give something too light, nor is it appropriate to give something too expensive.

This really put the mother and daughter in a dilemma, and finally it was Chen Hean who spoke up.

"Since it's hard to give something valuable, let's give something thoughtful. Mother, do you still remember the twelfth young master I hid in the cellar? Or let's give that one!"

"Are you willing to do that?"

"Why would I be reluctant? After all, the recipe is in my hands. It just takes a little more time. I can always collect it again in the future."

Chen He'an said it lightly, but the maid Panyue shook her head after hearing it.

"Miss, you started looking for materials to make the Twelve Young Masters four or five years ago. Many of them are unique. I'm afraid they will be gone if you give them away. Do you really want to give them away?"

"It's just a few bottles of wine, not valuable. What matters most is the thought. I hope my future mother-in-law is someone who knows wine, so she won't waste those good things."

Although Chen Hean felt a little distressed, he felt that the things were used for the right things, so he didn't worry about it anymore.

So, the more he thought about it, the more he felt it was appropriate, so he told his mother about it.

"I'll have to trouble my mother to prepare a beautiful box first, and then put all the things in it so that we can send it to the Gu family."

"Okay, this isn't difficult."

The mother and daughter discussed and decided on the gift, and of course Du Jingyi in the Cezhou General's Mansion was also preparing for this matter.

Time flies, and it has been five or six years since she followed Gu Shaoyu to Cezhou.

The wind and sand here are stronger and the climate is drier, but she has tidied up the general's mansion inside and out with a very Jiangnan style, so living here is no different from before.

Perhaps it was because she was in a relaxed mood and had her husband and children around her, so she had no worries. While raising her niece, she lived her life again with her two children.

So, at her age, she is already a grandmother, but she looks like the eldest sister of Jin'er and Nianjin, lively and clear.

In the west wing of the general's mansion.

The three of them sat in the pavilion to enjoy the cool air, and from time to time there were some silver bell-like laughter.

Now Jin'er and Nianjin are both in their prime, and they are like a pair of beauties standing beside Du Jingyi.

Jin'er grew up in a happy family, so she was watered like the most gorgeous peach blossom in spring, with a delicate face, fair skin, and good temperament. She looks like a blessed child.

Nian Jin has undergone a great transformation in the past few years. The two different life experiences happened when she was young, which made her particularly open-minded and cheerful. Although her skin is not as white as Jin'er's, if she dresses up, she is also a beauty, but with more characteristics of the northern frontier.

Du Jingyi looked at the two of them, feeling really reluctant to let them go.

Seeing that the two of them were already engaged and would be getting married in a year, her watery eyes couldn't help but shed tears when she thought of this.

Jin'er had been with her for many years, so she knew what Du Jingyi was thinking at a glance, and immediately spoke to her in a comforting manner.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Don't be sad, aunt. Although my sister Nianjin and I are engaged, it's still a long way to go before we get married. This year is enough time for me to travel with you. Aren't we going to set off for Jinling in two days? Otherwise, think about what gift to give to your future sister-in-law first. This is really difficult for me."

"That's right, Auntie, you have a lot of ideas. You can solve the problems that my sister and I have been racking our brains over with just a few words, so I still need your advice."

After Du Jingyi wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, he sighed, then patted the backs of their hands and spoke.

"You two are very clever. The daughter of the Chen family is fond of poetry and literature. I heard that your future sister-in-law loved calligraphy and painting when she was a child. I have several rare and precious works in my private collection. When the time comes, we can take them south with us and give them to her, which will be a good thing for her."

"Just calligraphy and paintings? Otherwise, I can also collect some of the white fox furs that my brothers and I hunted at the beginning of the year and make them into a cloak for my future sister-in-law. It's warm and practical."

Nian Jin started by saying that she had been practicing riding and archery with her grandmother and Aunt Lizhu over the years, so she was very skilled. The white fox fur she mentioned was made by her own hands, and she gave two pieces to Du Jingyi to make a cloak, which was indeed warm.

Upon hearing this, Du Jingyi nodded.

"The most important thing when giving a gift is the thought behind it. If Miss Chen knew that you hunted this thing yourself, she would definitely be happy."

After hearing this, Nian Jin was so happy that he was as bright as the sun in Cezhou, making it difficult for people to open their eyes.

Jin'er on the side said in an awkward tone.

"Sister Nianjin has a gift for me, but I'm still worried. I want to give something I made myself, but calligraphy, painting, embroidery, etc., it would be a bit of an amateur to give them to my future sister-in-law. So I thought I'd give her the ancient ink I received before. There are a few pieces of gold foil magnolia ink in it, which smells the best. It must be suitable with the calligraphy and painting of my future sister-in-law!"

Du Jingyi couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the two sisters.

"Look, you both have your own ideas, but you still try to seduce my aunt's unique piece. You two are really like foxes!"
