The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor

Chapter 428 A mysterious New Year gift comes to collect debts (1)

On the thirtieth day, before daybreak, Mo Yan got up. Aunt Li Xiu and nephew Li Xiu got up earlier and had already washed themselves and started making breakfast. After the family had breakfast and put away the dishes, Xin'er, Tang Xin, and Li Xiu's aunt and nephew were preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner in the evening. This was the first year that the Mo family moved to Liuyang Village, and no one wanted anything to go wrong.

Mo Yan came to the warehouse and registered the gifts received in the past two days for reference in future favors. She was still in the shop when the return gifts were delivered yesterday, but she didn't look at them carefully when she came back. Now looking at the pile of New Year's gifts piled up in the house, she felt like a rich farmer had suddenly become a rich man.

Don't blame her for being like a country bumpkin who has never seen the world. In fact, the New Year gifts sent by these people are much more than what she has given out, and there are many valuable things in them. If possible, she would like to return all the valuables. good.

“A box of various gemstones, a bucket of black pearls...twenty sable skins, two bear skins, and three tiger skins. Well, tiger skins cannot be seen by Hairball. This guy will definitely be sad..."

Mo Yan murmured quietly while counting, and then realized something was wrong: the gift lists for the Liu family, Yan Junyu, and Han family all came with the New Year's gifts. They had just counted them one by one, so the extra valuable New Year's gifts Where did it come from?

Moreover, there are not only gems, pearls, and animal skins, but also various precious medicinal materials, and even dozens of custom chronicles, describing not only the various states of Chu, but also the surrounding small countries and foreign races. It is very complete and extremely rare.

Not to mention their intentions, just talking about so many precious things, even the dowry given to their daughters by a wealthy family with several prosperous shops in Beijing is nothing more than this. If you just take it out and sell it, it can make the Mo family worry about food and clothing for more than ten years. Year.

Mo Yan marveled at the generosity of the person who gave the gift, but did not feel greedy. She very cautiously took the gift lists from other families and checked them carefully. After making sure that they were not sent by the Liu family, Yan Junyu or the Han family, she felt something in her heart. Suddenly the possibility occurred to me.

She asked Li Xiu carefully and confirmed that the extra New Year's gift was delivered yesterday afternoon by five or six young people dressed as servants.

Li Xiu didn't know much about the Mo family's interpersonal relationships. She just thought they were classmates and friends that Mo Qingze met in the academy. Seeing their great efforts, she also asked them which family they were from, but was fooled. She didn't notice anything was wrong at the time, but when she saw Mo Yan asking so seriously, she became alarmed.

“By the way, Yan Yatou, although those people look ordinary, their words and deeds are very strange! How can I put it, anyway, they walk with a serious look as if they have been measured, but they don’t look like servants from a wealthy family..."

Li Xiu carefully recalled everything they said and did yesterday. The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. She was afraid that she would accidentally accept things she shouldn't and cause trouble for her family.

"Aunt Li, don't think too much. I just asked you because I didn't see the gift list, so as not to mistake the person who gave the gift."

Mo Yan smiled and reluctantly comforted Li Xiu with a few words. She was now almost sure who sent the things, and for a moment, her mood became extremely complicated!

Except for that person, she had never told anyone else that she wanted to soar in the sky like an eagle and see the vastness of the geography... Those dozens of books on local customs were enough for her to wander around!

 Not long after, Mo Qingze learned that there was a batch of very expensive New Year gifts of unknown origin in his family. When he came to the warehouse and saw the New Year gifts that had been placed separately, he couldn't help but click his tongue.

“Yan’er, do you know who sent these New Year’s gifts?”

Mo Yan's fluctuating mood has calmed down a lot. Worried about her father's wild thoughts, she said half-truthfully: "My daughter guessed that it was sent by Mr. Xiao. After all, our family saved him twice before, and he instigated people to send New Year gifts." It’s all right.”
