If you keep making noise, I won’t stand it anymore!

The first lady and the third lady looked at each other and changed the subject tacitly. Some things are enough to be known by oneself, and they are all smart people, so there is no need to explain too clearly.

"What do you think about the eldest princess' birthday gift, sister-in-law?" The Third Lady subtly changed the way she addressed Meixiang.

The eldest lady glanced at her indifferently and sighed in her heart that she was such a smart person. However, the birthday gift for the cousin this year was indeed a bit troublesome. Because her identity had to be kept secret, they had almost cut off contact over the years, let alone a birthday gift. This year, since the emperor had announced it in person, it was equivalent to announcing it to the world. As a foreign family, it was also the first real birthday for her son and she went to the cousin again. It seemed that her father-in-law valued this cousin very much, so the gift could not be taken lightly. The key was how to give it and what to give.

The first lady had basically formed an idea in her mind when she thought of this, but she still asked the third lady in return: "Sister-in-law, think about what the eldest princess needs most now?"

"Could it be a banknote?" The third wife thought for a moment and asked tentatively. Then she looked at her eldest sister-in-law with a smug smile in her eyes, slapped her thigh and shouted, "What's the matter? I guessed it right?"

The eldest lady glanced at her and said, "Yitai, Yitai, hasn't the emperor already asked the Ministry of Rites to prepare a house outside the palace? Then we can go there together to help set it up and see if there is anything missing and buy some more."

"Okay, banknotes are the most practical. Sister-in-law is really thoughtful. I'll ask Nanny to send five thousand taels of banknotes over later. I'll trouble Sister-in-law to send them over as well."

The eldest lady sighed inwardly again, saying that this was a smart man. Five thousand taels was enough for the third wife and it didn't look too little. The key was that this amount made it easy for the first wife to get along. If they added a little more on this basis, it would be very good.

"Sister-in-law, don't forget to send the written letter along with the divination. Today is different from the past. We can now exchange letters openly." The first lady returned the favor by doing the third lady a favor.

The third lady returned to the third room with the pattern booklet handed to her by the nanny, amidst the overt and covert gazes of people from all walks of life.

After hearing the servant's report, the Third Lady of Ci'an Hall looked up at the old lady with narrowed eyes and said, "Sister-in-law and Third Brother's wife really have a good relationship. They are all chatting and laughing as they return to Sister-in-law's place together."

The old lady opened her squinting eyes upon hearing this and looked at the slightly aggrieved and disappointed face of the third lady: "Why? You want to go too?"

"Oh, what are you talking about, mother? I was just sighing. It's no use going to them and listening to words that I can't understand at all. It's no use staying here with mother, don't you think?" The third lady was secretly shocked. The older her aunt gets, the weirder her temper becomes. She has to be more careful in the future. Alas.

"Hmph, I know you've been wronged. Later you and Jing'er go to the largest jewelry store in the capital to pick out something you like, and put Feng on the bill." The old lady looked at Zhou Jing and her niece who were half-kneeling below her and gave a faint instruction.

"Oh, thank you, mom."

"Thank you, grandma. Grandma loves us. Jing'er is so lucky to have met you."

The two of them showered the old lady with nice words, making her laugh heartily. For more than ten years, she seemed to have amnesia and had deliberately forgotten her own daughter and granddaughter.

Two days later, the nanny from the third room returned the pattern book with a letter in it that was signed but not sealed. The eldest lady did not take it but asked the maid in the room to seal the letter in front of the nanny.

After hearing the nanny's report, the third lady was even more grateful for her eldest sister-in-law's trust.

"Father, regarding the eldest princess' birthday gift, mother meant to refer to previous years. Shen and my third sister-in-law Wu took practicality into consideration and felt that it would be most appropriate to give silver notes now. It would also be more convenient for my younger sister and Xiang'er to buy things and property. So the eldest wife prepared ten thousand taels of silver notes, and my third sister-in-law gave five thousand taels. In addition, Shen and Wu will wait until the eldest princess's mansion is settled to see if there is anything missing and then make some additional purchases as appropriate. What do you think?" After discussing matters with Old Man Feng in the study, the head of the Feng family spoke up and took out two letters and placed them on the table, one of which was sealed.

Upon hearing this, Old Feng was so angry that his hands were shaking: "How foolish! What do you mean by referring to previous years? Is this what a mother and a grandmother should say? Ah! And the third brother and his wife, if your mother is confused, then are they also confused due to old age?" Upon seeing this, the head of the Feng family hurried forward and gently stroked his father's back with one hand, and handed over a tea bowl with the other hand.

Seeing the clear tea in the tea bowl handed over by his son, Old Feng felt so angry that he didn't know how to describe his wife. The whole court was trying to get close to the queen and the eldest princess, but these three people at home were so...

He took two deep breaths and waved to his son beside him, "You have done a great job. I will add another 20,000 taels from the kilometer allowance. Later I will ask the old friend to take another 20,000 taels from my private treasury as a gift from me as a grandfather. As for the second brother and his wife... forget it, let them do whatever they want."

"When we move into the house, we'll open the warehouse and see if there's anything suitable and move there," Old Feng added.

On the dirt road from Liuzhou Prefecture to Liujia Village, Xiao Nuo was driving the carriage as usual, and Situ Yidong was sitting inside, thinking about whether the set of silver needles and surgical instruments needed to be rushed. At this time, two horse hooves sounded from behind, followed by a "hush" sound as the carriage slowed down.

"Young man, how do I get to Liujia Village?" The people asking the question were the two brothers Feng Yizheng who had come from Luzhou Prefecture. It turned out that Feng Yizheng, who was waiting for a reply in Luzhou Prefecture, heard that Young Master Sun of Sun's Cloth Shop had dyed new colors of cloth in Liuzhou Prefecture and discovered new dyeing raw materials and new dyeing technology. He no longer cared about whether Feng Yishuang was reliable or not, and hurried over.

Situ Yiddong in the carriage suddenly came to his senses after hearing this. Why did this voice sound so familiar?

At this time, Xiao Nuo, who was concentrating on driving, turned his head towards the direction where the horse was coming. When their eyes met, they were both stunned.

"It's you, um, Xiao Nuo?"

"Master Feng, Master Feng?"

Feng Yizhen immediately laughed: "Xiao Nuo, where is your master? Where did he go?"

"Look, I'm here, Master Feng, you missed me after not seeing me for a long time?" Situ Yidong opened the curtain on the carriage window and saw Master Feng Yizhen, who was indeed full of surprise. He snorted, he didn't think meeting him was a surprise. He looked behind him.

"Heh, what's the wind blowing today? How did this honorable Feng Yishuang, the second young master, come to this corner of Liuzhou Prefecture? Why was he driven out by his brothers in the capital?" Feng Yishuang felt uncomfortable all over as soon as he heard Xiao Nuo's name. Now he saw Situ Yidong's face visibly fell when he saw it with his own eyes.

The two of them have been holding a grudge against each other for a long time.
