The Wutong Courtyard was filled with New Year gifts sent by the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion.

The steward of the Ministry of Industry's Minister's Mansion who had not yet left sighed in his heart: In order to make Miss Xu happy, Mr. Hou really spent a lot of money, and even handed over the wealth of the manor.

Xu Rongrong, on the other hand, stared at the last box in a daze.

What was stored there were almost all the books that she had read countless times in the study room of Weiyuan Marquis Mansion in her previous life, and had never forgotten them since her return.

Previously, on the carriage back to Beijing, he had used these books to lure her to the Marquis Mansion.

Of course she won't do what he wants.

She originally thought that she would never see this treasure of Princess Rongyang again.

But I didn't expect...he actually gave them as a new year's gift.

Why did he treat her like this?

Xu Rongrong's hands were shaking slightly.

He picked up the "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" placed at the top and touched it gently as if he had found a treasure, as if a little force would break it.

Mu Yi looked at Xu Rongrong's careful look and her gentle expression, and thought slightly: If the eldest lady could look at her Marquis like this, she would even have him demolish the Marquis' mansion!

"Did the Marquis ask you to send these books?"

"Exactly! Every book here was personally selected by the Marquis. The Marquis said that the eldest lady likes to study pharmacology. No one cares about these books in the Marquis' mansion. Only in the eldest lady can they reflect their meaning. value."

She was either speechless or looked astonished about the previous few boxes of gifts.

Only this box... After being silent for a long time, she solemnly said: "Thank you, Marquis Weiyuan."

Mu Yi saw it in his eyes and knew that his Marquis had finally paid off this time.

The New Year's gift for the Xu Mansion was prepared by Mu Yi long ago.

He originally prepared a box of antique calligraphy and paintings for Xu Chaoqian, which was not unusual, but also consistent with the status of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion.

Until his Lord Marquis came back with a message, saying that he would prepare a generous gift for Miss Xu alone.

This... somewhat worried him.

So, he had no choice but to go to the third prince's house to bother him. The third prince's concubine Mu Qianyin listed for him the silks, silks, antiques and spices that women in the capital liked. He didn't miss any of them and filled five large boxes.

As a result, the Marquis was still dissatisfied after returning home yesterday.

He was ordered to replenish a box of silver overnight.

When he heard that the Marquis was going to give money to Miss Xu, Mu Yi was completely stunned: Who in the capital would regard this as a New Year gift?And it’s for a woman?

However, when he saw his Lord Marquis taking out the entire set of South Jade and Gilt-Rose Hair and Noodles collected by Princess Rongyang from the storehouse, he was speechless.

These were not enough. When the stacks of land deeds for farms and shops were taken out and put into boxes, he even wanted to ask if the Marquis was planning to give them all away.

Fortunately, in the end, the Marquis entered the study.

Whatever he wants to give, just give it.

As the head of the Hou Mansion, I am already tired and don't want to ask anymore.

However, when he set off from the Marquis Mansion to the Xu Mansion, his Marquis specifically told Mu Ai to give the box of the most worthless things to Xu Chaoqian, and these New Year gifts for Miss Xu should be sent directly to Wutong. hospital.

Lord Marquis, you slapped your father-in-law in the face so blatantly, aren't you afraid that he will regret it and not marry your daughter to you?

……

In the main courtyard of Weiyuan Hou Mansion, Mu Rong was dressed in light blue uniform.

Mu Lu looked at the sky outside the window: "Is my clothes a little thin?"

Mu Rong glanced at him and said lightly: "You don't understand."

This uniform was what he wore when he met Rong Rong for the first time after his rebirth. To him, it had a different meaning.

It's just... It's the middle of winter right now, so it's indeed a bit cold.

Mu Lu always had something to say in his heart, and his mouth seemed to be covered with honey: "Although my subordinates don't understand, they know that this body is full of energy, and he can instantly defeat the weak and inexperienced people in the clan. The nobles will compare with each other."

"Do you think I am a peacock? Are you going to compete with them?"

Mu Lu: "..."

Why does my Marquis have such a bad temper?Then let’s talk to him about the eldest lady.

"Sir, we talk about the collection of books in the study, why did you single out those dozen books?"

Sure enough, Mu Rong became patient: "Those books are ones she often reads, so she will naturally like them."

Almost every book in the study room of the previous life had been read by her, especially these dozen books. When Mu Rong saw them, the pages of each book were slightly rolled up, and it seemed that they had been read repeatedly. Passed.

Thinking about it, she did this because she liked it very much.

He caressed these books, as if he could feel the warmth of her fingertips through them, as well as her lonely mood as she flipped through them.

As a result, these dozen or so books seemed to be engraved in his bone marrow. Even after he was reborn, he would still remember them clearly.

She liked it so much, so naturally he wanted to fulfill her wish.

……

It was getting late, and the carriages from the clans' houses to the palace for the banquet were about to set off.

The two new year gifts sent by Lu Mansion and Weiyuan Marquis just now made Xu Chao regret his toothache.

He bitterly drove his second daughter Xu Yaoyao back to Bai Cuiyuan.

But he didn’t have the shame to go see his eldest daughter.

So he ordered Xu Dong, the chief attendant at his side: "Go and talk to the eldest lady, saying that being a father is not a good thing, so I won't send her to the palace. Tell her to be careful on the way and come back early."

Xu Dong: "..."

When he arrived at the gate, he was catching up with Xu Rongrong getting on the carriage.

He finished the message with some shame, but the eldest lady didn't seem surprised and just said lightly: "I understand."

Then he took Wen Yao into the carriage.

Since Chu He was away, the task of driving fell to Xu Feng, the son of Manager Xu.

He whipped up his horse and headed towards the palace.

However, as soon as he turned out of the alley, he stopped.

Xu Rongrong asked: "What's wrong?"

"Master Marquis is here."

Xu Rongrong was a little surprised, and she opened the car curtain.

Mu Rong rode his horse to stop in front of her.

Xu Rongrong asked: "Why is Mr. Hou here?"

"I'll take you to the palace along the way." Mu Rong said with a smile.

Drop by? ? ... Weiyuan Hou Mansion is located on Jianghan Street outside the imperial palace, and it only takes a quarter of an hour to enter the palace.

And Xu Mansion...

Which way is this smooth?

But seeing the cold wind in winter blowing the big cloak around him, Xu Rongrong naturally wanted to accept this: "The Marquis is interested."

Mu Rong nodded and glanced at the Nanyu pearl hairpin on her temples: "Do you still like the gift?"

Seeing him asking, Xu Rongrong subconsciously touched the hairpin on her temples.

He sent him a precious Nanjing gilt silk head and face. If she ignored it, it would not only show her lack of etiquette, but also disrespect for the late Princess Rongyang.But if she wears the whole set, it will look too dazzling, which is not what she wants.

So he only took this Nanyu pearl hairpin, but he didn't expect that he would see it before entering the palace.

An unnatural blush appeared on Xu Rongrong's cheeks: "Thank you so much, Mr. Marquis, for your kindness. I will return the original item when the dinner is over."

Mu Rong was not surprised. He smiled and said: "This set of masks was originally given to my future daughter-in-law by my mother. Wouldn't it be just right for you to have it here?"

Xu Rongrong: "..."
