Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Hou Mansion (4)
I saw that the jade beads were crystal clear, and there seemed to be liquid flowing in the center.
"It's beautiful!" said the wind.
"It's our beautiful faces!" the second aunt quipped.
"Then I'm welcome, thank you, second aunt. ”
Seeing that the wind poured into the face, I really liked this bracelet, and the second aunt also smiled with satisfaction.
"Hey, what about the gifts for the two of you?" Min Xiaoning turned his head to look at the two cousins.
"It was made by the two of us for our cousin. The eldest cousin, Min Yangling, said and took out a small wooden box the size of a flat palm.
Feng Qianyan took it and looked at it, it turned out to be made of agarwood. The surface of the black-brown wooden box is polished smooth, and the front is carved with a branch of cold plum, and the red flowers stand upright.
"The cold wind is especially good, and the frost and snow are red. In addition to being bright and public, it is also to appreciate the perseverance, perseverance and self-improvement of plum blossoms in the snow.
"Yan Yan is so literate!" The eldest cousin was surprised, he didn't expect that the wind would be able to export into poetry. Everyone knows that my cousin is not stupid in the past two days, but I didn't expect to become so smart.
"Hehe, hehe. Feng Qianyan hurriedly changed the topic and asked, "Big cousin, what is this box for?"
"You click here to try. The eldest cousin pointed to the side of the box, where there was a small wooden block like a button.
Feng Qianyan gently pressed the small wooden block, and with a click, the box opened.
The lid popped open and opened, and a small oval mirror stone the size of an egg was inlaid inside. The box has two layers, and the first layer contains a calf horn comb. The second layer is a drawer-type that pulls outward, and there are four small boxes inside, which are rouge, gouache and the like.
"It's a vanity box!
"This box was made by Yang Hao, and I carved the cold plum. The hearts of our brothers, don't dislike it. ”
"How could it be! Yan Yan likes it very much! Thank you two cousins!" Feng Qian Yan closed the box and put it in the ring. I was amazed in my heart, but I didn't expect that in addition to reading well, the two cousins also liked to study this kind of small thing with a mechanism.
"Yan Yan, come to grandma. When the old man saw that everyone had been introduced, he hurriedly called his granddaughter over.
"Grandma. Feng Qianyan and Min Xiaoning returned to the old lady hand in hand.
"Have they all prepared gifts for Yan Yan?"
Feng Qianyan nodded.
The old lady took Feng Yanyan's hand and said with a kind smile: "Grandma doesn't have any good things here, this piece of jade has been with me for decades." It was given by your great-grandfather when my grandmother was young. ”
The old lady patted her granddaughter's palm and let go of her hand. The wind lowered his head, and there was a white and warm jade pendant lying in his palm.
I heard my mother mention that a month after my grandmother and Lu, my father died on the battlefield. Soon after, when the emperor founded the country, he named his grandmother as the lord of Anhe. After three years of filial piety, he gave marriage to Min Zheng, Marquis of Jingyuan.
This jade pendant is my grandmother's gift, and it is the last thought left by my grandfather to my grandmother.
Feng Tianyan shook his head and refused: "Grandma, this jade pendant is too valuable, Yan Yan can't ask for it." ”
As he spoke, he stuffed the jade pendant back into the old lady's hand.
The old lady took her granddaughter's hand, put the jade pendant in her palm, and said, "Your great-grandfather said that this jade pendant is a warm jade, which is the most suitable for girls to raise their bodies." Grandma is too old to be needed, and staying by her side is just a thought. Yan Yan has been in poor health since she was a child, so she wears it to take care of herself. This jade is the most nourishing. ”
