Chapter 40 Guess
At noon, I had dinner with the old lady, and the old lady Lin took out a box, which contained a whole set of head and face jewelry made of gold and silk rubies.

"This is my dowry. It's an old craft. Not many people know it now. The workmanship is very complicated, but the style is good-looking and not tiring to wear. I got several potted flowers from your house. My old woman is embarrassed. I will give it to you. .”

"Auntie, I'm a junior, and I should respect you. This is too precious, I can't have it."

Wenwen just glanced at it, not greedy, after all, she is not a real child, she has seen the world.

In the past, she had a special safe in her house, which contained various documents. Wang Yi bought her jewelry worth [-] million to [-] million yuan at the auction house as family heirlooms, and put them in the bank safe.

These jewelry will not surprise her greedy eyes.

Seeing that there was no greed in her eyes, Mrs. Lin fell in love with her even more. Not to mention that the granddaughter taught by the old guy is really good, her appearance, temperament and eyesight are among the best, not half a point worse than the girl of the Lin family.

"My aunt gave it to you to play with, take it."

"Yeah, take it, I'll tell your father later, the elders can't deny it."

Mrs. Lin also chimed in.

"Thank you, aunt, and thank you, aunt, for loving me."

Only then did Wang Wenwen decide to accept it, and thanked him politely.

"Good girl, what does your grandma do at home all day?"

"My parents bought my grandma a family of four to take care of grandma and me. Grandma practiced calligraphy and read medical books at home. My son and grandson made a few jars of sour bamboo shoots. They said they would send them over for you to taste when they are ready."

"Well, good, she still remembers that I like sour bamboo shoots the most."

Mrs. Lin nodded happily.

Mrs. Lin also gave gifts, including the Four Treasures of the Study, high-quality ink ingots, and a complete set of Four Books and Five Classics. This was for Wang Yi and Zhou Hui.

Zhou Hui thanked him politely.

When Wang Yi came back after asking for advice, he learned that the two had given the child another gift, thanked him with a smile, and was about to leave.

After they left, Mrs. Lin smiled and said, "I really like these two children. Wenwen is very cute, and Brother Hun is also a smart child."

"You don't know, my younger sister was a top-notch person in ethnology back then. Except for the poorer brothers in her family, she was outstanding in everything. Seriously speaking, she is no worse than Miss Everyone. The granddaughter she taught can't be wrong."

"I see that brother Yi is more calm and sensible than before, and he is more sophisticated in handling things. But these two potted flowers are really rare, mother, is it appropriate for us to accept them like this?"

"It doesn't matter, this is my favor and you don't need to pay it back. If brother Yi really has the ability to get a name in the exam, we will pay it back if we help a little more.

If you have time, write a letter for me and ask my second daughter-in-law to send me a reply. I want to invite my old sister back. "

"You're talking about Mammy."

"Yes, the old woman is willing to teach her granddaughter. It is not difficult for me to help find a nanny. I have a sister who teaches the nobles and ladies in the imperial capital to teach the etiquette rules. It is too late for her to be happy when I invite her back."

"That's right, there are so many people in your house, it's too lively."

Mrs. Lin means that a noble family has many people and troubles, so it may not be a good place to retire.

"Isn't that what you said? Brother Yi came here to treat him nicely, treat him like his own nephew, and don't neglect or disrespect him. I looked coldly at Brother Yi as a good-natured child."

Mrs. Lin narrowed her eyes and pondered in her heart.

"Yes, I listen to you."

Mrs. Lin quickly bowed her head in response.

Back in the car, Zhou Hui said, "Unfortunately, none of the potted flowers are sold, and the value may be several thousand taels. My aunt said that the two pots of flowers are at least 2000 taels, and Er Qiao is even more expensive."

He was still regretting that the money he got flew away.

"Then I'll take the flowers at home and let you sell them."

Seeing that he was so sorry, Wenwen couldn't help laughing.

Zhou Hui gave her a white look, "I'm just a pity, and I'm not stupid, I know this is very important to Fourth Uncle's future future, much more important than money.

With fourth uncle's ability, it is not difficult to make money, but the difficulty is that there is no one to support him in the future. "

Wang Yi also smiled, and Zhou Hui poured him a cup of tea.

"If you can see this clearly, it means that you are not lazy in studying, not just this.

Another point is that we are relatives with the Lin family, and we are much closer than others. If we don't keep in touch now, it will be too late to ask for help in the future.

There is a need to pave the way in advance for personal connections, but there is no reason to find the temple gate with a pig's head, so there is no rush. "

Speaking of which, he took a sip of his tea before asking: "Tell me who the Lin family is giving the flower to as a gift. You don't need to guess the name, just tell me the general direction."

Zhou Hui thought for a while before counting with his fingers, "There are only a few situations, one is to give gifts to Shangfeng;

Second, I heard from my master yesterday that the imperial court promulgated a decree exempting the tax for the coming year, because the queen mother is about to celebrate her birthday and prayed for her old man.

There will also be a batch of servants in the palace released, these are the grace of the queen mother.

The third thing is to give gifts to the emperor, so he will be hesitant and can't find someone he likes. "

"Well, keep talking."

Wang Yi looked at the small coffee table lightly, with no expression on his face, showing no signs of happiness or anger, but his examination of Zhou Hui's school was in all aspects, not just for reading, but for human relations, economic career, and socializing and entertainment. Some.

Zhou Hui thought for a while and continued: "If it's for Shangfeng, the capital is so big, how can we not find a suitable gift, so it's not him;

It will not be a gift to the emperor. My nephew guesses that the emperor will not be able to meet the festival and reason in terms of time;
The most likely thing is that the Queen Mother's birthday is just around the corner. Didn't you say that the second uncle is a fourth-rank official in the capital? He is qualified to meet the emperor, so he should be worried about what gift to give to the Queen Mother. "

In this way, sending flowers is not out of the ordinary. Many Beijing officials have sent flowers in the past, and some of them were brilliant.

Second, the peony flower has the reputation of the king of flowers, and it can be matched with the identity of the queen mother. Erqiao is more rare and difficult to cultivate, and it is even rarer to raise it well. The characteristic lies in a skill.

Therefore, it is very suitable to give this peony flower to the queen mother, and it will not offend her colleagues in consideration of all aspects of human relations. It can be said that Mrs. Lin is quite thoughtful and very slippery.

"Well, you are a smart kid, and now you don't have words, how about I give you one?"

Wang Yi also found that Zhou Hun was smarter than he thought, good at peeling cocoons, and it is not surprising that he can ponder people's hearts when he grows up.

Zhou Hui grinned, "Please uncle give me the word."

Words are very important for boys, generally speaking, they are given by the master and father.

Wang Yi nodded, "It's called Heng Zhi, the perseverance of perseverance, the ambition of great ambition, how about Heng Zhi?"

"My son will keep in mind his uncle's teachings, study hard, stay true to his original aspirations, maintain perseverance and perseverance, and not fall into the aspirations of the royal family."

Zhou Hui immediately understood Wang Yi's expectations for him. He was so happy that he even changed his name to Uncle. The word "Father" also represented his deep desire and admiration.
