Chapter 108 Gifts
"I have seen Hou Ye!"

Yuanyang had been waiting at the door for a while, and when she saw Yang Xiao coming with a carriage, she hurriedly greeted her.

"Miss Yuanyang is so polite! This is for you!"

Yang Xiao smiled slightly and waved his hand. Behind him, Youshi quickly walked to Yuanyang with a small gold-painted box.

"I'm just a little girl, even if it's a gift from the Marquis!"

Yuanyang blushed and turned sideways to avoid him.

"It's true that you are a maid, but you are the maid of this Marquis Xiangzhong. I bought this gift specially for you!" Yang Xiao said forcefully, not picking her up at all.

"Miss Yuanyang, just accept it! Is the old lady still waiting for us?"

Youshi understood his position quite well, and directly stuffed the gold-painted box into Yuanyang's arms.

"Then I'll take it first!"

Inside the house, Jia Mu and a group of people were waiting, and there were other maids beside her, so Yuanyang dared not to entangle here, so she could only shyly handed the gold-painted box to the little maid beside her, which made Yang Xiaohe happy again. Youshi led the way inward.

The Rongqing Hall was really crowded, with all the women in charge sitting inside.There are even a few girls’ homes.

Seeing Yang Xiao being brought in by the mandarin ducks, Xichun who was pushed by Yingchun hurriedly stood up, walked in front of Yang Xiao, and said a deep blessing, "I have seen you, brother!"

"Good sister!"

Yang Xiao gently stroked Xichun's head, and then looked around at the people in the room.

Of course, he would not look at Jiamu who was upright, and Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang beside her, but paid attention to the other women.

First of all, he noticed the looking forward to the girl beside Yingchun, with handsome eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and guessed it was Tanchun.

Then, he turned his attention to a woman next to Mrs. Wang, and couldn't help but feel admiration.

This is really a good woman, just as it is written in the book.

Her face is like a spring flower, her figure is coquettish, inlaid with pearls and emerald greens, like a fairy concubine.The style on his body is far better than that of You Shi beside him.

It's a pity that there is neither Xue Baochai nor a girl who looks like Lin Daiyu in the room, and even Li Wan, the green young woman he wants to see, can't be seen.

"I have seen the old lady!"

After looking around at everyone, Yang Xiao quickly put away his slightly disappointed mood and bowed forward.

"Master Marquis, there is no need to be polite! Please get up quickly!"

Jia's mother didn't dare to take care of her too much, and owed her body for help.

"The old lady is an elder and the grandmother of Miss Yuanchun and Sister Xichun. The etiquette cannot be discarded!"

Yang Xiao didn't get up on the momentum, but made a full-fledged etiquette.

"Old lady, the Marquis is here for the first time and offers you ten pieces each of Yun brocade, Su brocade and Shu brocade. I wish you good health and a long life.

Duke Pardon and Mrs. Xing, Duke Zheng and Mrs. Wang each presented eight pieces of Yun brocade, Su brocade and Shu brocade.

Five bolts of each kind of silk and satin were presented to the family of Uncle Zhu and the family of Erye Lian.

Miss Yingchun, Miss Tanchun, Miss Lin, Miss Bao and Miss Smith, each with two fine lake brushes, ten fine Hui ink, two Duan inkstones, and five knives of Chengxintang paper.A box of golden melon seeds and silver curly seeds each! "

"What a big handwriting!"

Before Youshi finished reading, everyone in the hall looked at each other in blank dismay.This Lord Hou would be fine if he didn't make a move, but if he made a move, he would really scare him to death.

Leaving aside the three famous brocades, it is the Chengxintang paper!It is the best paper expected by literati.

It is famous for its skin as egg-like membrane, as firm and clean as jade, thin and smooth.Of course, the price is also extremely expensive. Even Ouyang Xiu, a master of this dynasty, once wrote a poem, "Although the Jun family has a clear mind, who dares to write it?"
But now, this Lord Hou turned out to be giving five knives for every gift, and it was still five knives for each girl.Even Shi Xiangyun, who didn't come, didn't pull down, which is really extravagant.

Among them, the most anticipated one is Jia Baoyu, who is sitting next to Jia Mu. Thinking about the precious gifts that the Hou Ye in front of him gave to his younger sisters, what is it for himself?

"Master Baoyu, Master Huan, and Master Lan, each has fifty writing brushes, ten knives of rice paper, five inkstones, and twenty ink sticks! A set of annotations from the Four Books!"

Next, he heard Youshi's voice again.

"what?"

Jia Baoyu's face was pulled down at that moment, he was the son of the Jia family who was born with jade, and he was loved by thousands of people.When visitors usually come, they treat him like a treasure, and the gifts they give are far more than others.

However, the Marquis in front of him not only did not give him any precious gifts, but he was not as good as several sisters.

If that's the case, it's fine, but the gift given to him is the same as that of Huan Laosan and Jia Lan, which is clearly humiliating him!

"My Lord Hou said so!"

After You finished reciting, he looked around at the crowd and said, "Since ancient times, heroes have suffered many hardships, but there have always been naughty men! Fan Zhongyan, the sage of this dynasty, used wood as a pen and a sand table as paper. He only ate a bowl of gruel every day and studied hard without finishing. Finally, he succeeded The name of a generation.

In the past, Wang Xianzhi practiced calligraphy and exhausted ten tanks of water while studying ink, and he became a generation of famous calligraphers.

The presents given to the three young masters were indeed a bit thin, but they were much better than those used by Fan Gong back then.I also hope that the three young masters can follow the example of the sages and study hard!In the future, it is also good to be a Jinshi and rank, to honor the ancestors! "

After Youshi finished speaking, he retreated behind Yang Xiao.

"I thank Lord Hou for your kindness!"

Hearing Youshi's explanation, several people in the hall turned slightly pale, as long as he didn't deliberately humiliate the Jia family's sweetheart.Jia Mu was the first to bow to express her gratitude.

"Old Madam, you are too polite! I know Miss Yuanchun, and I know how much she loves her younger brother! I plan to visit Zhenggong soon, and ask him to hand over Master Baoyu to my servant.

I will never be soft-hearted.I will definitely follow what Fan Wenzhenggong did back then and train Mr. Baoyu to become a talented person! "Yang Xiao bowed again, talking eloquently.

This was really his original intention, it was a plan to draw out the firepower, mainly because he wanted to end Jia Baoyu's good life of hanging out with Lin Daiyu every day, so as to prepare for his attack.

"grandmother!"

Hearing this, Jia Baoyu was going to be stupid at that time.Leaving aside that he would not be able to see his beloved younger sisters, even if he ate bran and swallowed vegetables every day, he couldn't stand it!

At this moment, he could only ask for help from Jia Mu who was beside him, holding her arm tightly, a trace of terror flashed in his eyes.

"Master Yang, my grandson has been weak and sick since he was a child! Besides, he is old, and if he cannot see him for a day, his body will not be comfortable! Let's talk about this after a hundred years!" Mother Jia hurriedly gave Jia Baoyu a reassuring look. , and said to Yang Xiao.

"Since the old matriarch said so, then Yang naturally doesn't want the government to bear the name of being unfilial!" Yang Xiao just hugged the grass and beat the rabbit. It is best to have this pole, but it is fine without this pole.

"Master Yang! Marquis Wuzhong's Mansion is separated from our Rongguo Mansion by a wall. You have to walk around frequently on weekdays. If you need anything, just tell me!"

Seeing that the matter had been exposed, Jia's mother hurriedly said polite words again.
