Lay to win!Cannon fodder, he has become the chief assistant

Xie Rongzhao grinned expressionlessly, is this a compliment to her?
She has practiced handwriting for almost two years more than Xie Ronglang, and now she says that she writes better than Xie Ronglang, and she has no sense of accomplishment at all.

Xie Rongzhao returned to the inner courtyard in a huff, while Xie Zhou was left behind to take the school homework exam.

Both Liu Ruolan and Gu Shi were making clothes in the house, the weather was cold, and the house was already on fire, but Gu Shi couldn't do things in the master's house like the hostess, so he moved outside.

Liu Ruolan thought it would be good to have someone to talk with, so she simply asked Sister-in-law Wang to get a charcoal basin outside, and the two of them guarded it, so that the work would not be cold, and the hands and feet would be warm.

Xie Rongzhao had just entered the room, and before he had time to say a few words, Douzi trotted over to deliver the message.

"Ma'am, Miss, the people from Weixinhou's Mansion sent a carload of gifts, saying that it was to thank Miss. The master asked you and Miss to go ahead."

"understood."

Gu Shi also put away the things, and helped Liu Ruolan to go out.

The yard they rented did not have a wind and rain corridor, otherwise it would not be possible to have such a cheap rent, and there were only passages paved with waste bricks and some old stones in the yard, and the rest of the place was muddy land. tree, some places are still empty.

When the three of them arrived at the front yard, they saw two large boxes in the main hall, and several small boxes placed on high tables.

Xie Xiuwen didn't touch these things, and only after they came over did he send someone to open them to have a look.

"The people from Weixin Mansion brought the things in and left. I didn't even bother to say a few more words. Fortunately, Fang Hu was smart and handed a purse to the manager."

In fact, to be more precise, it should be Xie Xiuwen who had the foresight to stuff Fang Hu with a dozen taels of silver earlier for some favors in the family, and told him not to lose his manners if anyone came over.

This time it really came in handy.

Xie Xiuwen didn't pay much attention to these things before, but now he has to learn to adapt, and can't go back and rely on others to make up for it.

Xie Rongzhao first looked at the small box on the high table, Xie Zhou picked her up and put her on the chair, then opened the box for her to see.

"Aniang, most of the things in this small box are jewelry. I don't think I will need them. They should be for you, right?"

Liu Ruolan glanced twice: "These look like they are for children, and they are specially given to you. They are brand new to me. Maybe they were specially made for you."

Liu Ruolan really guessed it right, it was indeed Gao who called Yinlou two days ago to pick it up.

The two large boxes on the ground were also opened one after another, and one of them contained fabrics and ready-made clothes.

"Hey, ma'am, look, this color is really bright. Our lady will look festive and good-looking when she wears it. And it's made of high-quality cotton, so it feels different when you touch it."

While talking, Gu Shi motioned for Liu Ruolan to come and touch it.

This kind of thing, men really can't tell the difference between good and bad.

Liu Ruolan rubbed it in her hands a few times, and pinched the thickness, it was indeed good.

Gu Shi looked it up carefully: "Madam, these are two sets of winter clothes, and two pieces of high-quality material, which are beautiful and thick, and they are probably also for the young lady."

Liu Ruolan nodded: "That's fine, it saves me having to make clothes for Guaibao."

She is currently making winter clothes for Xie Xiuwen. Although she had some to wear, the winter in the north is too cold. If she goes out, she has to wear thicker clothes.

Douzi also opened another box, Xie Xiuwen just glanced at it lightly, and stopped paying attention.

There are also some practical objects in the box, such as a small hand stove, incense burner and some small ornaments.

"Mother, there are two hand stoves here. Daddy, is it cold in your study? Do you want to use one?"

Xie Xiuwen smiled: "No need, there is a charcoal basin in Dad's house, it's not cold. And Dad has a hand stove."

Xie Rongzhao pouted: "Daddy's used that one for several years, it's old, use this one, and give me the old one. Anyway, I don't use it much."

Gu Shi smiled knowingly: "Master and Madam are so lucky, Miss is so filial, and the future blessings will last forever."

I have to say, this Gu family is really good at talking, no wonder Liu Ruolan was coaxed into liking her in just a few days.

Xie Rongzhao was fiddling with an exquisite small incense burner, but he didn't understand it very well. Then, there were several incense burners in the box, and there was a box with a complete set of tools inside. Xie Rongzhao didn't understand it very well. He made incense in his previous life, but never used it. Such an advanced player.

"I think Zhao Shizi wants you to learn more in the future, so you can't just think about running outside all day. There are still a few books here, you can read more in the future, if you can't read Understood, you can come and find me."

"Understood, Dad." Xie Rongzhao's original enthusiasm disappeared suddenly.

How do you feel that you were tricked by Zhao Yue?

Liu Ruolan's heart skipped a beat: "After the turn of the year, my baby will be seven years old in a few months, and then I will have to learn some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. We have also come to the capital, so it's not good for a little girl to do nothing. If you don't study, you can only read and write."

Xie Rongzhao sighed, "Aniang, reading and writing are so difficult!"

When everyone saw her little expression, they were immediately very happy. It was really rare to see such an expression on her face.

After receiving so many things from others, do you want to return the gift?
Xie Xiuwen pondered for a moment: "Don't be in a hurry to return the gifts. They should have sent these to thank the teacup that Guaibao threw out at the beginning. Besides, these gifts are not very expensive, so you can accept them with peace of mind. Wait until the New Year's Eve. Let's prepare another generous gift."

After Liu Ruolan listened, her eyes narrowed slightly. Hearing this, is she going to walk around with the Weixinhou Mansion as relatives in the future?
Seeing her reaction, Xie Xiuwen knew she had guessed it.

"Don't worry, Prince Zhao is the emperor's confidant. If we make friends with him, we will not suffer any disadvantages in the future. Besides, we did have a fate with him early on, so we are destined."

"Yes, I understand. But, what should we give as a boxing gift that year?"

Liu Ruolan has a lot of money on hand, not to mention that a family like Weixinhou's Mansion, with a gift of only a few hundred taels, I am afraid that people will look down on them.

"It's not urgent, it's still early, let me think about it."

"Alright, where can I remind her again, Guaibao?"

Xie Xiuwen shook his head: "No, this child is smart, and she knows it well. Besides, Mr. Zhao likes her mainly because of her innocence and cuteness. If our adults intervene, let Mr. Zhao see that there are traces of adults' teaching in it. It will cause disaster instead." (End of this chapter)
