Chapter 58 Minglan Gets Rich

Minglan couldn't refuse, so she had to accept the gifts.

Wait until the British government officials leave.

Minglan asked people to move those big boxes to Shou'an Hall.

She just walked off on her front feet.

Wang Ruofu said to Sheng Hong: "Bai'er is studying. The four treasures of the study used by the emperor in the palace are of course very good."

"The British government has a great cause and gave Minglan a few sets. Minglan can't use them. How about you ask Minglan to give one to Brother Bo?"

Sheng Hong frowned and said, "Didn't you listen to what I said? Those gifts are all for Minglan. How can I, a father, get them?"

Wang Ruofu thought of those big boxes of gifts, and although he was jealous, he had to give up.

Not long after, Lin Sushuang learned about this.

I also thought about those large boxes of belongings.

Those originally given by Mrs. Zhang were all divided in advance according to the proportion of the Sheng family's head.

Except for most of them given to Wei Shuyi, there is a limit to how much you can take for the rest.

But this time, it all fell into Minglan's hands.

Isn’t it just a matter of means to take more or less?

So that night, Sheng Hong rested at Lin Sushuang's place.

She deliberately said: "Honglang, the Nu family is really envious of Miss Wei and Girl Ming."

"Unlike my Mo'er, when he comes to the capital, the jewelry he wears is still the kind sold by boys on the street."

"Honglang, no matter what, Mo'er is your daughter. If you go out, others will see Minglan wearing gold and silver, while Mo'er is wearing simple clothes. I'm afraid it will also lose the face of our Sheng family."

"Furthermore, Feng'er is also studying. It's the time when he needs the Four Treasures of the Study. I heard that Ming Lan has a royal servant. If Ming Yatou Ming is reasonable and can give Feng'er a set, it will definitely be helpful to Feng'er's studies."

When Sheng Hong heard it, it made sense.

Those big boxes of gifts, even if Minglan were to use them, would probably not be used up in a year and a half.

But several of her brothers and sisters have never used such royal items.

Not as good as

Wait until tomorrow, tell the girl tomorrow?

Actually, in the Sheng family.

Sheng Hong's love for Mo Lan, even Ru Lan, is deeper than Ming Lan.

If it weren't for Wei Yuan's fortune.

A hairpin on Mo Lan's head can buy several pieces of jewelry or clothing from Minglan.

Even then, Mo Lan told outsiders all day long that she was a concubine in the family, not favored, and did not have the love and protection of an uncle as good as Ming Lan.

There is a skill in pretending to be pitiful.

now.

In Shou'an Hall.

The old lady looked at the big boxes of gifts, then looked at Minglan who was sitting in front of the case in a daze, and asked with a smile:

"Girl Ming, why aren't you happy when someone gives you such an expensive gift?"

Minglan expressed her worries,

"Grandma, these were sent by my little aunt. Although she and my uncle are engaged, they are not married yet."

"If I ask for these gifts, how should I explain them to my uncle?"

"So my granddaughter thought about finding a suitable opportunity to return these gifts."

"But now everyone in the family knows that I accepted the kindness of the British government and gave me so many gifts. If I don't give some to my brothers and sisters, how should they think of me?"

"But if I divide it and I don't make up enough gifts in the future, how can I return it to my granddaughter's aunt?"

If she told Ru Lan and others, these gifts would have to be returned in the future.

No one else would tell him, but Mo Lan wouldn't believe it.

She stirred up trouble among her brothers and sisters, asking Minglan how she could continue to stay at home.

Only people with good intentions will often consider so many things.

Mrs. Sheng touched Minglan's little head,

"Girl Ming, you are interested."

"Since you call that girl from the Zhang family aunt, just keep these gifts."

"Even though a few big boxes of stuff look intimidating, in fact, for the British government, it's just a hair that can hold up to the sky."

"The Zhang family girl gave you this gift because she sincerely wants to get to know you, my niece, in advance. If you don't accept it, she will have trouble sleeping and eating. She will feel that she has done something wrong and is worried that your uncle will blame her."

Minglan asked in surprise: "If my granddaughter goes back, will she be in so much trouble?"

Old Mrs. Sheng said: "Although she gave you so many things for your uncle's sake, in the final analysis, she also wanted to please you."

"Your uncle came to our house in a big way with hundreds of personal guards in Yangzhou. Many dignitaries in the capital knew about this. So, who doesn't know that your uncle loves you and protects you?"

"As your uncle's unmarried wife, she will naturally pamper you."

Minglan sighed, "I'm afraid that if I accept it, it will cause trouble to my uncle."

Old Mrs. Sheng shook her head, "If you don't accept it, you are causing trouble."

Minglan hesitated for a moment, then took out a precious hairpin from those boxes.

"Grandma, my granddaughter will wear it with you."

Mrs. Sheng nodded and smiled, "Okay, okay, our girl Ming is the most caring."

Minglan chuckled and said, "My granddaughter will take some of these gifts and distribute them to her brothers and sisters."

Mrs. Sheng said: "That's what it is."

Suddenly, the old lady took off the hairpin that Minglan put on her, looked at it for a moment, and said:

"This hairpin is extremely precious. Only the nobles in the palace have it. Grandma is old and there is no use wearing these things. I'd better leave it to girl Ming."

Minglan shook her head, "I gave it to my grandmother just because it looked precious. Besides, my granddaughter already has the best and most precious hairpin in the world."

——

The next day, the British government.

Last night, Zhang Guifen was very happy to learn that Minglan accepted the gift.

Early in the morning, she suddenly realized something,

"The things I gave Minglan yesterday were all vulgar things. What if she doesn't like them but can't say it out loud, so she can only accept them? What should I do?"

"Also, my eldest sister gave birth to a boy, and Brother Wei gave the boy a nickname. If I give it to Minglan instead of my nephew, it seems a bit unreasonable."

The nanny who went to the Sheng family to give gifts yesterday shook her head and said:

"Miss, the gifts you gave are all things that money can't buy."

"I can't guarantee anything else. As for their Sheng family, it is estimated that only the only daughter of the Yongyi Marquis Mansion, who is famous in the capital, has seen them. They are already very valuable."

Zhang Guifen curled her lips, "This is just the beginning. Besides, I'm not giving it to the Sheng family. What does the Sheng family have to do with me?"

Then, she instructed some servants,

"You take some money from the mansion and buy a few of the things that children in the capital like and need the most."

"Remember, buy the expensive ones and don't buy the cheap ones."

Not long after, the nanny told Madam Zhang about Zhang Guifen's gift to Minglan,

"Madam, the young lady hasn't married yet after all, isn't this inappropriate?"

Madam Zhang smiled and said, "Let Fen'er send whatever she wants. In the future, half of the Duke of Ying's Mansion will be her dowry. Let her do it."

Two hours later.

The people from the Duke of Ying's Mansion picked up several large boxes of gifts and gave them to Wei Shuyi and Minglan.

Among them, most of them were things for children to play with, such as rattles, which were countless.

At this moment, Wei Shuyi and Minglan were looking at the large boxes of gifts in front of them in the main hall, and they were very grateful in their hearts.

But they didn't know what to do.

Pause.

A maid who came to deliver gifts said:

"Madam Wei, Miss Minglan, my lady said that if you two have something you like or urgently need, just send someone to let her know."

Wei Shuyi said quickly: "Enough, enough."

To be honest, including the gifts that Madam Zhang brought to the Sheng family, there are also the boxes of things that Zhang Guifen sent yesterday.

Wei Shuyi has never seen so many luxurious things in his life.

If this is a return gift, how should I respond?
