Chapter 124: Caring Brother Jiu
Little Bruiser’s resentful voice came from the inner room.
“Take a breath and hold your fat stomach in.”
“I don’t have a fat stomach!”
“You do. Look.”
“Don’t poke me! Hahaha…” Little Bruiser laughed painfully after being poked.
However, when Yu Wan stopped, he couldn’t take it anymore. “Again! Sis, again!”
Guo Xianyue looked in the direction of the inner room and gently reached out to open the brocade box. Unexpectedly, there was another brocade box inside.
“Stop fooling around. You’re sweating again. Hurry up and put on your shoes,” Yu Wan said as she turned around to get the colored thread.
Guo Xianyue closed the box in time.
Yu Wan took out two balls of colored thread. “Cousin Yue, do you think this color is okay?”
Guo Xianyue’s mind was no longer on the colored threads. She wanted to accept it, but the moment she saw the threads, she was shocked. The color of the threads were very good, and the texture was indescribably smooth. It was even better than the best thread she had seen in the Luo Family.
......
Yu Wan saw her stunned expression and asked, “What’s wrong, Cousin Yue? Is this thread wrong?”
“No.” Guo Xianyue quickly shook her head. “Which shop did you buy your thread from? I’ll buy some later.” She did not ask about the price. In her opinion, if Yu Wan could afford the silk thread, it was even easier for her.
How could Guo Xianyue know that this kind of colored thread was a royal tribute? It was made of top-notch ice silk. Only the Empress was qualified to enjoy it. Not to mention buying it, it was difficult for her to even see it.
Of course, Yu Wan did not know either. These colored threads were from the New Year’s gift that Yan Jiuchao had given Little Bruiser. Although Yu Wan had guessed that it was good stuff, she had not guessed that it was such good stuff.
“I didn’t buy it. Someone gave it to me,” Yu Wan said evasively.
“Who is it?” Guo Xianyue asked.
Yan Jiuchao. However, it was not appropriate to tell Guo Xianyue this name. Yu Wan smiled politely. “A friend.”
Yu Wan stopped. Guo Xianyue was not stupid. She understood that she should not continue asking, so she stood up and bade farewell. Before leaving, Guo Xianyue couldn’t help but glance at the brocade box on the table. Even she did not understand why she was so curious about what Cousin Wan had received.
Perhaps… It was because of the person who gave it to her.
“Sis, Sis! I’m done! Where’s Cousin Yue?”
When Little Bruiser ran out, Guo Xianyue had already left with the colored threads.
“She’s gone,” Little Bruiser said in disappointment.
Yu Wan laughed. “Why? Do you like Cousin Yue?”
Little Bruiser hugged Yu Wan’s arm. “How can I like anyone else? I only like Sis!”
Yu Wan poked his little forehead. Little imp!
Dinner was braised lotus root vermicelli soup, corn bread, and a plate of stir-fried spring bamboo shoots with cured meat.
The braised lotus root and steamed buns were all prepared by her uncle’s family. The spring bamboo shoots were dug out from their own backyard. They were indeed not as big as the ones at the back of the mountain. The three spring bamboo shoots were cut into pieces, and after it was steamed, they were barely stir-fried.
Spring bamboo shoots were sweeter and more juicy than winter bamboo shoots. The texture was more refreshing and crisp. Yu Wan thought that when she went up the mountain to pick chives in the future, she would dig more spring bamboo shoots.
At night, Little Bruiser rested.
After spring, the weather improved. There was no need to squeeze a big bed for warmth, so Yu Wan moved back to her room.
Yu Wan lit an oil lamp.
When she first transmigrated, she was so poor that she couldn’t even buy lamp oil. Yu Wan couldn’t help but sigh. She did not know when it started, but the number of times she thought of her aunt and her previous life had decreased. It was as if those were all dreams, and this was real. She was Ah Wan, the Ah Wan of the Yu family.
Yu Wan opened the brocade box that Yan Jiuchao had given her. There were two smaller brocade boxes inside, each about four inches wide and eight inches long.
Yu Wan opened the left one first. The things inside made her eyes light up.
It was a pair of embroidered shoes.
The soles of the shoes were white, and the body of the shoes was tender pink. The fabric of the shoes was as smooth as brocade, and there was nothing extra embroidered on the sides. Only the surface of the shoes was hooked with an elegant lotus flower with colorful lines. In the middle of the lotus flower was the stamen condensed from topaz. It was bright and translucent, like the finishing touch, making the embroidered shoes instantly look more spiritual and graceful.
Yu Wan’s aesthetics had always been very tough, but at this moment, she was also mesmerized by this pair of embroidered shoes.
In comparison, the patched cloth shoes at the side were pitifully shabby.
She vaguely remembered that when she went to Yan Jiuchao’s house that day, she was wearing this pair of cloth shoes. She peeled the orange until she fell asleep. When she woke up and lay on Yan Jiuchao’s bed, she was really shocked. However, because she had the three little lads in her arms, she did not think too much about it.
Now that she thought about it carefully, who took off her shoes and covered her with a blanket?
“I thought I was the one who did it.” So it wasn’t…
That time, did he realize that her shoes were broken? It wasn’t that she didn’t have good shoes. She just couldn’t bear to wear them while working.
Yu Wan looked down at the new shoes on her feet and smiled happily. That fellow was unpredictable, but it was a little overwhelming when he was considerate.
Yu Wan began to look forward to the contents of the second brocade box. Her lips curved slightly as she opened the brocade box. This time, there were three books.
It had to be good books.?Yu Wan thought.
Yu Wan happily took it and looked at it.
Breast Enhancement Book One, Two, Three.
Yu Wan’s face darkened!
