Zhang Ruyu was shaking with laughter, but Lu Yanqing remained completely serious. Wen Nan also wanted to laugh, but she held it in.
Wenzhou City returned an inkstone to Lu Yanqing.
All eyes in Wenzhou fell on Zhang Ruyu again. "Brother Zhang, are you prepared?"
A four-year-old child looked at Zhang Ruyu expectantly with big eyes.
Wenzhou is known for its greed and its people love to amass wealth. Zhang Ruyu is a young nobleman, so surely he has nothing else to give besides money?
If you're giving money... New Year's money.
Of course, Wenzhou City also prepared to return the favor by giving Zhang Ruyu a generous red envelope.
"You'll definitely love this gift; it's one of a kind in the world!" Zhang Ruyu patted his chest and brought out several boxes from his room—mahogany boxes, carved with patterns, perfectly square.
"Could there be a priceless treasure inside?" Wenzhou City's jaw dropped.
"No, no, no, it's so precious, Young Master Zhang, I dare not take it." Wenzhou Cheng reached out and grabbed the box.
They said they wouldn't dare take it, but their hands betrayed them.
“A treasure,” Zhang Ruyu said with certainty.
Wenzhou City happily opened the chest, and another rare item was added to her sister's dowry!
Open the rosewood box... what's wrapped in silk inside?
Wenzhou City brought out the item: a crooked and misshapen ceramic cup.
It's not exactly pretty... it's just really weird.
"This is the treasure?" The young boy from Wenzhou asked, his big eyes filled with confusion.
I can't see anything particularly valuable about it.
“I made this myself. I’ve never made it before. Neither my father nor my mother have ever made it. Isn’t it a rare treasure?” Zhang Ruyu patted his chest and then took out two more boxes, handing them to Wen Nantong and Lu Yanqing.
Zhang Ruyu prepared for everyone... a cup she made herself, so small that its shape was barely discernible, and rather awkward.
"Yes, you're not wrong," Wenzhou City nodded.
"Thank you, I've prepared something for you too." Wenzhou didn't mind at all and gladly accepted it.
He thought Zhang Ruyu would give him a big red envelope, so he prepared a big red envelope in return.
Wenzhou City handed Zhang Ruyu a thick, heavy red envelope.
Zhang Ruyu didn't refuse and accepted the little kid's New Year's money.
Wen Nan gave Zhang Ruyu a calligraphy brush that he had made himself. He had carved four characters on it: "Diligence can make up for lack of talent."
Lu Yanqing was alright; he simply gave Zhang Ruyu a thick stack of key points, enough for one's palm, and told Zhang Ruyu to study them thoroughly...
Zhang Ruyu's smile vanished.
...
Wenzhou City watched as Wen Nan carefully took a handkerchief from his bosom, on which lay a pearl-gilded bracelet.
It shone brightly in the candlelight.
“Sister, this was left by Mother. I finally managed to get it from the Second Madam, and now I’m giving it to you.” Wenzhou Cheng looked up at Wen Nan. He liked this bracelet and had been pleading with the Second Madam for a long time.
The two ladies then gave the bracelet to Wenzhou City.
He thought it would look good on his older sister, especially since it was a keepsake from their mother.
[After the original owner's mother died, all her property and dowry fell into the hands of the second wife.] 859's explanation rang out at the opportune moment.
The Wen family is a bunch of vampires. They drained Shen Qing's money, property, and dowry, and lived a life of luxury. However, they treated Shen Qing's two children with no kindness whatsoever.
Shen Qing's biological son wanted Shen Qing's bracelet, so he had to beg the second wife.
ridiculous.
"Okay. Thank you." Wen Nan looked at Wen Zhoucheng's face, took the bracelet from Wen Zhoucheng's hand, and put it on her wrist.
