Chapter 66 Receiving Gifts
"Aa ...
I'm going to the temple fair.
So happy!
Jiang Miaomiao, who has been staying at home for several days, is about to go out.
She waved her little arms that looked like lotus root nodes.
She was wearing too much and looked a little clumsy, like Doraemon.
Sister Qiaoer said the temple fair was very lively, with people singing and dancing, and you could also look at the lanterns and watch acrobatics...
There are many delicious foods.
Of course, Jiang Miaomiao has no interest in delicious food, but that’s not to say she is not interested.
But she couldn't eat any of it.
She can only drink milk now, and there is nothing better than milk in the world.
But she was still very much looking forward to it. She was a person who loved to join in the fun and was very curious about everything in this era.
As soon as I went out, a carriage came towards me.
Jiang Miaomiao looked around and found that the nearest neighbor to her home was a mile away.
This car is heading for her house, that’s for sure!
Two pretty girls got out of the car. They were dressed simply and made of ordinary fabrics.
The clothes don't seem to fit well.
They all had warm and neat smiles, as if they had been professionally trained, and they didn't look around.
They all bowed to Lu Qingyao and said, "Greetings, Madam Lu. I am a servant of the two gentlemen Song Siyuan and He Lingjun. Today, I have come to wish you and the young master a happy new year on behalf of our gentlemen..."
Lu Qingyao was slightly stunned, and it took her a while before she remembered these two names.
Aren’t they the two teenagers who were turned into black bears?
I didn’t expect that they still cared about it. Most people would not even have time to hide!
Lu Qingyao nodded slightly while holding the baby, "Thank you, your husband is so thoughtful!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw two men leading the servants to move things into the house.
Lu Qingyao quickly stopped them and asked, "Two girls, what do you mean?"
"Madam Lu, this is a New Year's gift, and also a thank you gift from the two gentlemen. They originally wanted to come in person to express their gratitude, but their injuries haven't healed yet, so it's inconvenient for them to travel..."
The purple-robed girl stepped forward and bowed, "Please accept this, Madam Lu!"
He looked like he wasn't going to leave until you accepted it.
Lu Qingyao had no choice but to let them take it in.
It is acceptable to accept New Year’s gifts.
However, if you accept a gift from someone, you naturally have to give something in return.
After taking a quick look around the house, it seemed... there was nothing valuable.
The most valuable.
That is, the bamboo shoots in the house and the sheep in the backyard.
After thinking about it, there is nothing more appropriate than giving New Year's plates.
Then Jiang Miaomiao saw her mother taking out bacon, dried bamboo shoots, Tusu wine and fruits from upstairs.
Before leaving, she pulled out a sheep from the backyard and said, "Girls, I'm just a farmer and don't have anything valuable. Take this sheep back and make soup for you two gentlemen to nourish your bodies. Don't be disgusted by it!"
"How could we dislike it? We appreciate Madam Lu's kindness, but this sheep..."
How to pull the sheep back?
It takes several hours to get from Qingshi Town to Jiangzhou!
Of course, the two girls didn't say it out loud. They just looked at each other, looking a little embarrassed.
Lu Qingyao also looked like she wouldn't let them leave unless they accepted it.
"Don't underestimate this sheep. It can really help cure your husband's illness..."
"Mutton is warm in nature, and astragalus can promote diuresis, reduce swelling, expel toxins and pus, and promote tissue regeneration... Stewing it with angelica and astragalus has the effect of replenishing qi, nourishing blood, and regulating the body's vitality. It will help you heal after your injury..."
Before Lu Qingyao could finish her words, the girl in purple took the rope from her hand and bowed in thanks.
"Mrs. Lu is so thoughtful. My husband really needs some nourishment..."
Jiang Miaomiao blinked and said, "Mom is so good!"
Detoxification, pus removal, and tissue regeneration...
The mutton that was easily available to the young man became a rare treasure after her mother said that!
Then Jiang Miaomiao saw several people driving a horse-drawn carriage slowly leaving her house, with a sheep tied to the back of the carriage.
"Mee~~Mee~~~"
The sheep kept calling as they walked, looking reluctant to leave.
Suddenly, many black fruits rolled out from the sheep's buttocks...
Black fruits all the way.
Jiang Miaomiao: “…”
Uh! Her mother's gift this time was a bit humorous!
Jiang Ziyan: “…”
This... is a bit rude!
Lu Qingyao's mouth twitched.
If the two young men were not still sick, they would really need to replenish their bodies.
If she could come up with no suitable gift at the moment, she would have been reluctant to give the sheep away.
This is the largest sheep in the flock except for the ewe.
It was originally intended to be roasted lamb for the children.
As soon as Jiang Zifeng saw the car leave, he hurried back to open the gifts.
"Aa ...
Little Miaomiao also wanted to go, and tilted her head to look at her mother.
Opening a gift is more exciting than opening a package.
A sharp sword inlaid with gems.
It's for my eldest brother.
A set of four treasures of the study: Hu brush, Hui ink, Xuan paper and Duan inkstone...
It’s for my second brother.
A set of chubby clay dolls.
They should be for Jiang Miaomiao, but no matter how she looked at them, she felt that these clay dolls all had her shadow.
Could this be done based on her reference?
What was given to her mother was a box, which was full of silver.
It’s a total of three hundred taels.
There were also several rolls of cloth, plain-colored cotton, not particularly good, but much better than what they were wearing.
The most important thing is practicality, and the fabric should be suitable for them to wear given their current status.
I have to say that these two young men put a lot of effort into it.
The gifts given are very pleasing to the eye.
All very practical without being ostentatious.
For a moment, Lu Qingyao couldn't guess their identities.
Jiangzhou.
Along the way, the two maids attracted everyone's attention.
It attracted the attention of many passers-by.
When we arrived at the house.
It was getting dark.
He then led the sheep, took the bacon and Tusu wine, and went to report to King Jing Fu Lingjun.
Before I knew it, the sheep started eating the flowers and plants in the yard.
Those flowers may be more valuable than this sheep!
The old servant Shi Shu's eyebrows twitched as he watched.
Fu Lingjun stared at the sheep intently.
The corner of his mouth twitched, "Why did you bring back a sheep?"
Before the maid could answer, he pointed to the basket on the ground with a confused look in his eyes, "What are these?"
"Your Highness, Madam Lu said that these wine, meat, and fruits are all New Year's dishes, and that the lamb is for you to nourish your body, so she asked me to stew it..."
Then he repeated Lu Qingyao's words to his little prince exactly as they were said.
Fu Lingjun was somewhat moved.
In his entire life, no one except Shi Shu and the imperial sister had ever cared so much about him.
His father, the emperor, and his mother only cared about his studies and riding and shooting, and never cared about what he really wanted!
What do you like to eat!
Because all the food, clothing and daily necessities were prepared by Shi Shu.
"Magpie, let's find a garden to raise this sheep! If we want to stew the lamb, we can buy another one..."
We are reluctant to kill sheep, but we still need to eat mutton.
The maid Xi Que was surprised. Since the prince came back, who disliked animals and hated birds and beasts, when did he start to like raising sheep?
And the bacon...
"Your Highness, what should we do with these bacon, wine, and fruit?"
Fu Lingjun walked over to the backpack and took a look.
"Send it to the kitchen. This prince and Young Master Song will eat this meat tomorrow."
This wine must have been brewed by the little fat boy's mother.
The meat must have been marinated by his mother.
Fu Lingjun was actually a little envious of the chubby Jiang Zifeng.
I wonder if he likes the sword I gave him?
Her mother can be the mistress of the household and a skillful farm wife.
It can be said that he is able to bend and stretch!
Fu Lingjun's favorable impression of this family instantly doubled. He looked at the old servant and asked, "Shi Shu, have the secret guards been sent out?"
The old servant nodded in response...
