LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 207 Gift
The sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner lasted until midnight, and everyone left the table after they were full and started to watch the New Year's Eve. The three children, Shishiliu and Shitou, were already playing outside with firecrackers and fireworks, but Dabao and Erbao were already lying in their strollers and fast asleep.
Xiao Jing and Lou Xingyun were playing chess and Pai Gow in twos and threes, and whoever lost drank. Yuan Chuyi, Yun Duo and the others took Go and played backgammon. Everyone played until midnight. When the midnight alarm sounded, Xiao Jing took a long string of firecrackers and set them off in the yard. After their firecrackers went off, the sound of firecrackers started to sound one after another in the village.
After the sound of firecrackers, Yuan Chuyi could finally go to bed and rest. It’s really tiring to keep watch this year. She rarely stayed up late after coming to this other world. Every night she went to bed on time at Haishi, and she stayed up late only tonight.
Xiao Jing was still playing chess, and she thought she could have a good sleep tonight. Unexpectedly, he came back just after she got under the quilt.
"Madam, happy new year and happy birthday!" Xiao Jing came to the bedside and said, lowered his head and kissed Yuan Chuyi's forehead.
Yuan Chuyi looked at him and smiled, "Thank you!" After the child was born, it was the first day of the first lunar month. It was not only the beginning of the new year, but also her twentieth birthday in this dynasty.
"What birthday gift does Madam want?" Xiao Jing asked, lying on the bed looking at Yuan Chuyi with a smile on his face.
"What do you want to give me?" Yuan Chuyi asked with a smile.
Xiao Jing looked embarrassed, "I came back in a hurry this time and didn't prepare anything. What should I do?"
Yuan Chuyi chuckled, "Your Majesty, despite his busy schedule, still remembers my birthday. That's enough for you! Thank you!"
Xiao Jing smiled, kissed her red lips, took out a banknote from his arms and put it in her hand, "Just give this as a gift. Although it is a bit tacky, we can buy whatever Madam likes. !”
On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, she picked up the banknote and looked at the denomination under the dim light, "Two thousand taels!" She exclaimed, looking at Xiao Jing, her eyes sparkling, "So much!"
"Is it too much? Madam, just don't think it's too little!"
Yuan Chuyi chuckled, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" This birthday gift was almost as much as her annual income from a workshop.
She likes this kind of birthday gift.
Seeing her so happy, Xiao Jing also smiled happily and kissed her red lips, "As long as Madam likes it! You go to bed first, I'll go and wash up and come back."
As soon as Xiao Jing left, Yuan Chuyi also got out of the quilt, took out a wooden box from the bedside table, opened it, and took out a small safe from it. This box was what she applied to exchange with Fu Bao. She opened the safe and found more than a dozen silver coins and a stack of banknotes of different denominations. She has earned all this money over the past year.
When she first came to this other world, she was penniless. After more than a year of starting a business, she now has several thousand taels of savings. I don't know how long this savings will last in the capital. It's hard to say whether it will be enough to buy a yard.
Xiao Jing came out and saw Yuan Chuyi counting money while holding an exquisite small box. He was very curious and looked at the box, "Where did you buy such an exquisite small box?"
"I bought it from a passing merchant!" Yuan Chuyi said with a smile, handed him the safe, and took out two account books. "If you like, I can give you one, I have another one! What kind of confidential documents do you have? Put it inside so you can’t lose it. Even if the entire box is lost, no one else can open it without the password!”
"So magical?"
Xiao Jing took the safe and looked at it carefully. He saw that although the box was small, it was quite heavy. As soon as he weighed it, he knew that the material of the box was good.
He asked Yuan Chuyi to show him how to use the box. At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, he locked the box, opened it, and then closed it again, asking him to try to open it, but no matter how he tried, he couldn't open it. He clicked his tongue and praised, "It's indeed a good thing! Then give me the one you don't need."
"Okay!" On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, he took out another safe from the wooden box and put it on the bedside table. "I'll give this to the prince! I wish the prince all the best in the new year and a warehouse full of gold and silver!"
"Thank you ma'am!"
Xiao Jing was very satisfied with this New Year's gift. Seeing that there were still account books in front of Yuan Chuyi, he hurriedly put the box and account books on the bedside table. "Why read the account books so late? Go to sleep!" He hugged her and got under the quilt.
"Wait a minute!" Yuan Chu looked at him, "Don't you look at how much money the yuba workshops and wine shops make?"
"Let me see what that's for, you just have to figure it out!"
"You have a share in both workshops!"
Xiao Jing rubbed her head and said, "The yuba workshop was opened for you, and the wine shop was opened by you and the fellow villagers. I just helped you a little! Do I really want to share the money with you just because of this! Fool, Don’t worry about this with me, just be happy!”
"Your Majesty..."
Yuan Chuyi was deeply moved by the sentence "You are happy."
"It's getting late, it's time to rest..." Xiao Jing hugged her and lay down, pulling the quilt over her.
In the morning, Yuan Chuyi, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened by the sound of firecrackers. When she touched her side, it was empty but still warm. She looked outside through the curtain, and saw a drizzle of rain, which was cold and cold.
She stretched lazily under the quilt, lazily closed her eyes and squinted for a while before slowly getting up. In the crib, the second baby was still sleeping soundly, but the eldest baby had disappeared. It must have been because he woke up that Xiao Jing had no choice but to get up and take him out to play. She dressed up and went outside to take a look. Sure enough, the two of them were setting off firecrackers with Shiliu and Shitou in the yard. Dabao giggled with joy.
When Shiliu and Shiliu saw her coming out, they immediately put down the firecrackers in their hands and ran to her to wish her New Year's greetings. Yuan Chu smiled and gave each of them a big red envelope to play with. Xiao Jing also came in with her son in her arms. As soon as Dabao saw her, he reached out to her and asked her to hug him. Yuanchu smiled, hugged his son, and kissed him on the face. Xiao Jing also looked at his face from the side and pointed at his cheek towards Yuanchu. Yuan Chuyi laughed and pressed a kiss on his cheek.
"Your Majesty, Sister, Happy New Year!" Yuan Mochen brought Li Qiaozhen in to wish them a happy New Year.
"Happy New Year!"
Yuan Chuyi also gave them both a big red envelope. Li Qiaozhen blushed. Why should she receive red envelopes when she is so old?
Lou Xingyun and others also came together to wish them New Year greetings. On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, without exception, everyone gave them a big red envelope. They also knew that today was the birthday of the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, and that although she lacked everything, she just didn't like sewing, so they made several sets of spring clothes for her as a birthday gift.
Yuan Chuyi looked at the clothes with surprise in his eyes. The embroidery work was exquisite, and the money was the latest model that their embroidery workshop had introduced before.
Xiao Jing looked at this beautiful set of clothes and couldn't help but smile, "They knew you were too lazy to do needlework, so they made all these spring clothes for you!"
"Thank you!" Yuan Chuyi expressed his joyful thanks to Li Qiaozhen and the others.
Yunxuan watched them all give it away, and she also took out a small box and handed it to Yuan Chuyi, "Madam, happy birthday, this is my gift."
