The next day, Yuan and Wen Huan were among the people who came to pay their respects to the old lady. They were all smiling and the atmosphere was very peaceful.

When the sisters were getting along, Wen Huan was cold to Wen Yu, but got along well with her sisters, with endless conversation and laughter.

Wen Jiao was originally indifferent to Wen Yu, and was a little jealous of Wen Huan, so at this moment, she was busy making a fuss. The sporadic small side drums were beating left and right, and she was very happy.

Wen Yu didn't move forward, and was indifferent to Wen Jiao's instigation. So she became a marginal person, but she didn't mind and sat there openly.

Hui Jie couldn't bear it and came over to chat with her.

After paying her respects, Wen Yu returned to her own room, unlike in the past when she would diligently present herself to her father in the yard.

Hongdou felt sorry for her and didn't mention the matter. She just stayed with her obediently and did some chores, but she secretly complained in her heart that the master was unfair to the girl.

Hong Xing was also working slowly nearby, but her mind was actually far away. Before the mistress sent anyone to look for her, she was distracted and made a careless mistake while working, causing a loud "bang".

Wen Yu and Hong Dou both turned to look at her.

Hong Xing was a little embarrassed and changed the subject: "Miss, why don't you go to the master and mistress' room?"

Wen Yu asked, "What's wrong?"

"Oh! What I meant is... you used to be able to pass it!"

"I used to go there, but I don't go now. Is that strange?" Wen Yu answered indifferently and continued to work.

"No, no." Hong Xing didn't dare to say more.

Suddenly, a maidservant of Yuan's came to the door and said with a smile, "Miss, the master and the mistress want to see you!"

Hongdou's eyes lit up: Master finally remembered the girl! ?

Wen Yu shook her head at Hongdou. She couldn’t let her always have extravagant hopes. It would make her sad and even cause trouble!

Still ordered red apricots and went out.

…

When Wen Yu entered the room, the family was sitting around a round table, chatting and laughing.

The atmosphere was so good that no one even noticed her coming in.

Wen Yu stood there quietly, watching them...

Too!

Adding myself to such a heartwarming scene would be really superfluous.

After a while, Yuan finally saw her. "Yu'er?" She scolded the maids in a veiled manner, "Why didn't you announce that the eldest lady was here? Come and sit down quickly, Jin'er, give your seat to your eldest sister."

The little boy stood up obediently: "Big sister!" He was very polite.

Wen Yurui, who was older than him, also stood up and called out, "Big sister!"

Wen Yu nodded and smiled, "Father, Madam." She walked over, bowed, and then sat down.

Wen Huan did not stand up, but smiled and said: "Sister! We have been waiting for you for a long time! We haven't seen each other for more than two years. Don't you miss your father? I thought you would come back with father and mother to talk!"

I haven't even sat down yet and you're already starting to instigate me!

Wen Yu smiled and said, "After returning from a long journey, my daughter thought that father and wife would have a good rest."

Wen Qian listened to her calling him "Madam, Madam" with a cold face.

Yuan smiled and said, "We were not in such a hurry to come back this time. We should have arrived the afternoon before yesterday. Your father stayed in Lu County for one more night. His good friend Lord Liu happened to come back from the capital to visit his relatives, so we had a gathering there."

Wen Yu ignored her father's cold face and just listened to his wife's words with a smile, looking very polite.

Wen Huan's eyes flickered, "Yes! Our family... went to visit the Liu family! The fish cooked by the Liu family's chef is so delicious. Moreover, Sister Liu is a very nice person, she is really a first-class lady from a noble family!

I'm so happy to have made such a good friend before I even arrived in Beijing! Uncle Liu said that if he could spare some time, he would come to attend my elder brother's wedding. If he came, he would introduce Sister Liu to my elder sister. "

With Wen Qian's intelligence, how could he not understand what Wen Huan meant? But he didn't care and continued to observe Wen Yu secretly.

She just kept smiling appropriately, without showing any emotion.

In previous years, when she came back, she would come close to him, flatter him with irrelevant words, and gave him many purses that he had never used.

This time, he seemed much more generous, maybe because he has grown up.

My second brother said she was fifteen...

Thinking about Wen Huan's birthday, every time I have to prepare for it for a long time in advance, there will be many explanations, and it is different every year. Even if I have business outside at the time, I will find a way to celebrate her...

She is also his daughter...

He really didn't like the feeling of being indebted, so he decisively said, "Huanhuan, take out the things for your sister!" He just went through the motions and asked her to leave quickly.

"Daddy!" Wen Huan pouted with an unhappy look on her face. "As soon as you came back, you only had eyes for my sister! The gifts are all ready! They are indispensable! Can't I talk to my elder sister first? Don't rush me!"

Wen Qian laughed, "You! You have a lot to do today. You are not with your grandmother for a long time, you should go and spend more time with her."

"The thought is precious, how can anyone not be satisfied?!" Wen Yu said sincerely.

Wen Huan smiled, turned around and took out a package for Wen Yu, "This is it, my sister! Take it back and take a good look at it! If you don't like it, give me some face and don't tell anyone else. Just tell me quietly!"

"Sister, you are too modest. Over the years, you have been influenced by our father and taught by our wife herself. Your vision, taste, and way of doing things are of course first-class! How could I not like it! I am itching to open it and take a look right now!" Wen Yu began to open the small package.

"Hey!" Wen Huan quickly held down Wen Yu's hand, "Take it back and have a look!"

"I just took a sneak peek." Wen Yu gently took Wen Huan's hand away, "I hope that what I get this time will be different from what my sisters get. The gifts I received before were all the same as my sisters'! Every time after dad left, they would make fun of me... saying that dad treated his own daughter the same as his niece! I was so sad."

As Wen Yu spoke, her hands moved quickly and the bundle was opened, revealing the contents.

Wen Huan was anxious and rushed forward to snatch it: "Wen Yu! Oh... Big sister, there are some things in there that are not convenient for father to see!" Her eyes widened and her tone became serious.

"How could that be?" Wen Yu looked at Wen Huan strangely: "Sister, why are you so anxious?"

"Take it back and have a look!" Wen Huan said firmly.

After all, she had never experienced an emergency, so she was a little panicked and pressed Wen Yu's hand in an exaggerated manner.

Seeing this scene, Yuan was shocked. Could it be that his daughter had done something wrong?

...hurriedly came to the rescue, "Yes, Sister Yu, take it back to your room and take a look at it slowly! Someone, take the packages in the box and deliver them to each room according to the names on them!"

"Oh! Sister, the more mysterious you act, the more curious I become. I can't wait even a moment longer!" Wen Yu said, and shook Wen Huan's hand vigorously.

"Ouch..." Wen Huan felt a little pain.

Wen Qian was furious: "Wen Yu, what are you doing?!"

"Father...I didn't do anything! I just wanted to see the gifts from father and sister!"

The bundle was opened, and a pile of messy things appeared before my eyes...

Wen Huan didn't care about the pain in her hand, her face turned red, and she bit her lips nervously.

When Yuan saw those things, she was also a little dumbfounded. She never thought that her daughter would act like this!

I didn't expect that the damn girl would open it in front of her husband...

A quick glance at my husband...

Wen Qian couldn't believe it when he saw the "gifts" on the table: a few hairpins without even a box. The hairpins were neither gold nor silver, but red flowers with green leaves sewn from velvet tied to wooden hairpins... They were the hairpins that the poor girls from the villages wore in their hair when he visited the countryside...

And a few crumpled handkerchiefs... and... that's all.

“……” He swallowed.

Wen Yu was neither anxious nor annoyed, but with a hint of contempt, she first picked up the hairpin, "Oh! There is also... a hairpin? Haha, this hairpin is really..."

She looked like she couldn't say the words "beautiful" or "expensive"... She thought for a while and then said "kindly": "It's really... special!"

She knew what her sister gave her this time.

At this time in her previous life, she had just experienced the pain of Hongdou's death and had not yet entered the Song family. When her father came back, she received such a handful of things.

She went back and threw all these things all over the floor. She was so heartbroken!

Now that she doesn't care anymore, she feels a lot more relaxed.

With her jade-colored slender hands, she gestured with the hairpin on her head and gave Wen Qian a mocking smile. Then, with a "pop", she threw it on the table! Yuan and Wen Huan felt as if it was thrown on their faces! Wen Yu picked up the embroidered handkerchief again.

A thin grass green silk, embroidered with crude pink flowers... He took a look at it and put it down, then picked up one of the dark green handkerchiefs steadily. Among the pile of things, only this handkerchief was worth the money.

It was the product of a famous local embroiderer, and a piece of it was priced at ten taels of silver, which was considered a very impressive gift.

"Give it to me..." Wen Huan felt even more guilty and tried to grab it.

Wen Yu dodged and opened it... There was a hole in the middle of the handkerchief made by scissors! That time, Wen Huan framed her, saying that she was dissatisfied with her father and deliberately damaged it.

"Ah? Sister, this handkerchief... why is it like this?!" Wen Yu held the handkerchief and asked Wen Huan in confusion.

Wen Huan didn't know what to do and his face turned red with embarrassment.

No matter how cunning Wen Qian was, he couldn't keep his face anymore.

Yuan stretched out his hand and snatched the handkerchief away. "This...what's going on? This shouldn't happen! These handkerchiefs are the work of Master Huang. How could they be damaged?!"

Wen Yu smiled, "Haha, second sister...it seems that it was an inappropriate decision for father and mistress to leave the task of buying gifts to you!"

Yuan's face flushed, she looked at Wen Huan steadily: "Huan Huan, you got the wrong one!"

The holidays are coming to an end, aren't they?!
