After the prosperous Tang Dynasty

The convoy delivering the New Year gift to Xiao Song arrived at Xiao's Village in Shanhai Town just in the last two days of the year.

Although it is said that the people who transported the things are all from their own family, but in addition to the things sent by the family, there are also rewards from Xuanzong and the annual gift from Prince Li Heng. The Xiao family should show some respect. Simply, Xiao Song and Xiao Yan Sui greeted him directly.

However, after making a decent face, the steward of her own family took those who dared to come here to rest, and replaced them with waiters from the old house of the Xiao family, and moved the things on the carriage one by one.

Xuanzong's reward was naturally moved directly into the main hall of the Xiao family's old house, and the prince's annual gift for his cousin was also treated similarly. As for the things sent by his own family, it seemed much more casual.

Xiao Yansui was sitting next to him, still holding Xiao Wu's long-winded letter in his hand, unopened, just casually fanning himself with it, and then facing the list of items listed by Mrs. Pei, one by one Pointing, and softly ordered to Axiu: "The spring shirts that A Niang made for me, just send them to my yard, don't pile them up here to take up space."

Axiu nodded, and quickly sorted out the items from the item list. The new clothes, jewelry and other items for Xiao Yansui were taken back to the yard directly. After Yan Sui was not interested, he took it away and put it in storage.

There are only some scattered and small things that are more suitable for the year, Xiao Song glanced at them, and directly ordered: "These can be put on display, looking festive."

After packing up the New Year's goods sent from Chang'an City, the eyes of Xiao Song and Xiao Yansui's grandfather and grandson naturally fell on the family letter that came with the New Year ceremony.

Xiao Song put on the reading glasses very smoothly, and then unfolded the letter. It was inconvenient to sit next to him, so Xiao Yansui simply stood behind Xiao Song's chair and read the letter together.

The contents of Xiao Hua's and Pei's letters are almost the same as in the past, at most they added a few words to wish the new year, and then simply mentioned a few words to Xiao Song about the current situation in Chang'an City, and Anlu Mountain's tribute. Zhao returned to Chang'an City.

After reading this letter, Xiao Song's eyes fell on another letter in Xiao Yansui's hand through the convex lens.

This time, Xiao Yansui didn't pretend to be ignorant, took Xiao Wu's letter and slipped away directly. He simply opened it openly, and then directly divided about half of the letter paper and handed it to Xiao Song. At the same time, he said with a smile: " Goro's letters are always lively."

"..." Holding the first half of the letter paper, Xiao Song was silent for a moment, he raised his eyes on the bridge of his nose, and turned his head to look at his precious granddaughter.

Xiao Yansui had a leisurely look on her face, and gently shook the other pieces of letter paper in her hand.

"Ah Weng, the two of us will exchange later." Xiao Yansui said briskly.

Xiao Song shook his head with a helpless smile, then lowered his head again to read the letter from his grandson who had the most lively personality.

In fact, in another letter, brothers Xiao Heng and Xiao Wu also wrote a few words, mainly greetings, but when it came to Xiao Yansui, the contents of the letter suddenly changed the subject, which seemed interesting Extremely.

Speaking of An Lushan's return to Chang'an City, Xiao Hua only briefly mentioned it, but Xiao Wu particularly vividly described the fact that An Lushan was dancing and being adopted as a adopted son by Concubine Yang. He also wentssip about the fact that he went to Anlu Mountain to present a great gift to the noble concubine to win Xuanzong's favor.

During the palace banquet that day, because he met Zhang Dai, Li Tan and others, Xiao Wu even knew that Li Wenning, the princess of the East Palace, was about to marry Liutan in the east of the river. Falling things...

Xiao Yansui couldn't help laughing, and even Xiao Song couldn't help laughing. He just felt that the scene described in Xiao Wu's letter seemed to be vividly presented in front of him, with a particularly vivid excitement.

After the grandfather and grandson read Xiao Wu's letter with unsatisfactory content, Xiao Song couldn't help sighing: "Is it always like this every time Wu Lang writes to you?"

"Almost." Xiao Yansui nodded, and replied with a smile: "My brother also likes to tell me some gossip that I don't know where he heard it from, but it's quite interesting."

Later, when Xiao Yansui returned to her yard, Axiu had already packed up all the things that had been sent over this time.

Although it has been the beginning of spring years ago, but it is cold now, and Pei's newly cut spring shirt is still unavailable, so it doesn't hurt to try it in the house first.

Although Xiao Yansui didn't have much interest in these things, A Xiu muttered to the side that if the size was slightly inappropriate, it would be better for the embroiderer to change it in time, so she tried it in the room.

Afterwards, a maid took off the clothes, and Xiao Yansui's gaze also fell on several boxes placed on the table.

Axiu immediately explained: "The jewelry box on the left is sent by the lady, and it contains some newly made jewelry."

Xiao Yansui nodded, opened it casually and glanced at it. The gold, silver, pearls and jade are all exquisitely crafted, precious and exquisite, which shows that they are of great value.

Axiu couldn't help but glanced at Xiao Yansui's loosely tied ponytail on the back of her head.

--If it weren't for the fact that cutting short hair is too shocking, in fact, Xiao Yansui prefers to cut her hair a little shorter.After all, when you let your hair loose without combing it, you are really relaxed...

As for the other box next to it, Axiu said softly with some confusion: "The servant girl checked the list. This box is not in the list, and I don't know how it got in."

"Aniang took the wrong one? Can't—" Xiao Yansui said as if talking to herself.

Axiu also nodded. The maidservants around Pei's family would not make such a mistake, especially this time, besides Xiao Yansui, the more important thing is to give it to the elder Xiao Song who can't celebrate the new year together. Yes, even Xiao Hua, Pei Shi and others take care of it personally...

Xiao Yansui picked up the box and weighed it, then carefully opened the box, and folded a letter and a delicate jade ring inside.

At first, it was a custom in the south to celebrate birthdays. However, during the reign of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, he was advocating "sentimental" reflection, but he was not used to celebrating birthdays.

Xiao Yansui picked up the jade ring and fiddled with it for a while, then put it down again, and then opened the letter.

This letter is two sheets of paper stacked together, one is still written by Xiao Wu, and the other is from Li Tan.

Seeing this, Xiao Yansui couldn't help raising her eyebrows. After looking at it, she continued to play with the jade ring, and then asked Axiu very straightforwardly: "What's the meaning of giving me the jade ring?"

Axiu was startled, because she didn't see the content of those two pages of the letter, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and explain: "Yu'huan' means 'return', and some officials get rings from saints. Let alone..."

Xiao Yansui suddenly realized, "Give me a birthday present because you want me to go back, I understand!"

——The ancients had too many metaphors, and the words were too connotative!
