After the snack, Da Fan kept only Sun Xiuduan and her sister, and sent the rest away to rest or go about their business.

Xiao Fan and Zong walked out of Ruyi Courtyard side by side, and the two sisters-in-law exchanged some small talk.

Little Fan had a lot to say, but she couldn't tell anyone in her family.

The sister-in-law who had been away for many years finally came back, and she was a quiet sister-in-law. She wanted to go to the Zong family's courtyard to complain.

But when he was walking towards the second wife's courtyard, he met Sun Li who was walking towards Ruyi Courtyard with his hands behind his back.

Following behind him was his son Sun Fengying, who had returned from the academy two days ago, and two followers.

Sun Li waved his hand and asked Zong to go and rest, and the family would gather at the dinner table tonight.

"Here is a list of gifts that can be used at the banquet. Come with me to the courtyard first, old man."

"Feng Ying and Feng An, please go to the study. I will be there soon."

Zong responded and went back to the yard to rest under Xiao Fan's anxious gaze.

Sun Feng'an put his arm around Sun Fengying's shoulders and went to the study. Before leaving, he prepared himself mentally with his grandfather, "Grandfather, if you are going to test me, please go easy on me. I am not as knowledgeable as my elder brother, nor as knowledgeable as Brother Tao. I am not an ordinary person, but I am definitely not a genius."

Sun Li glared at him, and Sun Fengying quickly covered his head and dragged his elder brother away before his grandfather could scold them.

Zong followed Sun Li carefully back to Ruyi Courtyard and saw the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren counting banknotes in the house...

Sun Li glanced at the banknote box on the table and the jewelry box on the kang and fell silent.

He called his followers in and placed a large bag on the tea table.

Sun Xiuying had already gotten down from the kang and made room for her grandfather, and Sun Li sat down.

When Mrs. Fan saw her daughter-in-law following Sun Li and coming back, she knew that she had something to say.

Sure enough, Sun Li took out an envelope from his wide sleeve pocket and handed it to Little Fan, "Read it out to me, old lady."

Xiao Fan didn't understand why, but she didn't dare to disobey Sun Li's orders.

He opened the envelope and took out a piece of paper. He glanced at it and looked up at Sun Li and Da Fan in surprise, "This..."

Old lady: "Whose letter is it?"

Sun Li took a sip of the tea that the maid had brought to him in time, and said, "The daughter-in-law of the Jingyan family, Li."

Mrs. Fan was also surprised when she heard this, and urged, "Master, what did the letter say? Read it quickly!"

She had heard a lot about the various deeds of her granddaughter-in-law from Sun Li, and had eaten a lot of her food, but each time she sent it back to Kyoto in the name of Gu Jingyan.

Xiao Fan looked at the unique "gift list" in her hand. There was not a single name on the entire list, and the text was written horizontally.

She glanced at a few people and began to read:

"I wish the newlyweds: a long lasting marriage, a happy marriage, and a son soon!

The following content is the makeup and three or five fresh foods sent to the Heian Kyoto for the bride.

A small token of my respect.

There are three ways to add makeup:

A dressing box.

Insert two combs.

A set of headwear.

The following foods can be selected for banquets.

Two baskets of large white shrimps.

Two boxes of grouper.

Two baskets of fresh squid.

50 small sauce packs.

A basket of Artocarpus fruits.

A basket of lychees.

Two boxes of cherries.

Two boxes of strawberries.

There are three baskets of various vegetables.

(The recipe is included in the envelope)”

After reading the letter, Xiao Fan breathed a sigh of relief.

I have never heard of many of the foods here, and I was thinking of asking my father-in-law to ask the imperial chef in the palace about it.

Fortunately, the writer was careful...

She handed the letter to Da Fan and said, "This gift list is quite unique."

Sun Xiuying pulled Sun Xiudan to the tea table and looked at the bundle, "Big sister, your cousin sent you some makeup."

Sun Xiuduan was also very surprised that Li Changle came all the way to send her some dowry.

She had never met this cousin's wife, and now she couldn't tell what she felt inside.

They will soon become sisters-in-law, just like the relationship between her mother and second aunt.

But she didn't know if she could get along well with this woman who was both her cousin and her eldest sister-in-law, like her mother and second aunt.

What kind of woman is that...

To be able to stay with that man for a hundred years.

She was in a trance, and another silly and handsome face appeared in front of her eyes.

Smiling, he stretched out his hand and opened the bundle. "Since my cousin's wife specially sent it back, it must be a good thing. Let's open it and take a look."

The granddaughter smiled calmly. Sun Li and Da Fan looked at each other and everything became clear in their minds.

The items on this gift list are not ordinary.

Every time the emperor received tributes from Li County, the tributes from Sun Li were always included.

There are things in this gift list that I have never seen before.

"Big sister, this dressing box is so exquisite, it's even prettier than the one my mother asked the silver shop to make...

All the head jewelry is in the inner compartment.

This thing can only be found overseas, it’s a gemstone headpiece, and the hairpins are all pearls…

Mother, the headgear my cousin-in-law gave me is not worse than the ones my second aunt gave me..."

"You are such a talkative girl, stop talking nonsense." Little Mrs. Fan patted her little daughter's back with a headache. This girl was smart, but sometimes she would blurt out things that she shouldn't.

If you say she is stupid, the old lady would be the first to disagree, because she copied the Buddhist scriptures very beautifully.

Sun Xiuying picked up the dressing box and placed it on the kang so that Mrs. Fan could see it.

"It's exquisite..."

If Li Changle was here, she would definitely be confused. This was something she bought from the system mall with 80 contribution points...

There are not only exotic foods, but also jewelry and head ornaments.

Big Fan and Little Fan were speechless for a while.

Sun Li: "... For the elder family, please prepare some festival gifts for Li County as well."

"That's how it should be. Jing Yan said in his letter that even if he returns to Ping'an with his wife and children in the future, he probably won't live in Gu's house permanently."

"...Yes." Xiao Fan felt a little blocked in her heart. She looked at Sun Xiuduan, but saw that her expression was calm and did not seem fake.

Afterwards, Xiao Fan took the gift list and left with Sun Xiuduan and her sister, also taking away the dowry given by Li Changle and Zong.

The old lady stroked her old rheumatic legs and sighed, feeling sorry for her eldest granddaughter.

I don’t know whether the marriage with the granddaughter’s son-in-law is a suitable one in her granddaughter’s eyes.

Sun Li closed his eyes and rested for a while, then helped his old wife's legs onto the kang, letting her rest and not worry so much. His eldest granddaughter was smart since she was young and knew what she could ask for and what she could not ask for.
