The two boxes and cages were said to be 'given by the elders and cannot be dismissed', and most of them were her old things. They were stuffed into the carriage without even letting her look at them.

While talking, Zhou Banxia opened the cage.

A box of books and a box of wooden boxes.

This box of books can be roughly related to what the third lady said, "They are all her old things."

Mrs. Gao was a talented woman in the martial arts circle before she came out of the cabinet. She was proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. However, when she got older, she kept elegant books in the cabinet, and there were more Buddhist scriptures about cause and effect and reincarnation in her study.

Now this box of books contains inscriptions on stele, Book of Songs, Chess Classics, piano scores, and painting scores. There are not many of them, but they are "old things" that Xiao Banxia once looked through and studied.

In addition, there is a set of legal books of this dynasty. It lacks a set of the Four Books and Five Classics, but has an additional set of lecture notes on the Four Books and Five Classics, as well as imperial examination essays.

Apparently, Mrs. Gao knew that she had copied a set of Four Books and Five Classics before, but her two brothers were too lazy to prepare another set for her, and simply gave them handouts and sample essays.

"Repeated." Zhou Banxia flipped through the handouts and took out two of them.

Gu Wenxuan took it and took a look: it was indeed a duplicate, and it was exactly the same as some of the notes on the experience that Zhang Dazhuang had copied from a student of the Gao Family School.

Mrs. Gao probably knew that the little girl wanted to go to Gao family school, but she couldn't make an exception due to the rules, so she prepared this set of handouts.

It seems that the letter also mentioned that before leaving the house and returning to the village, Zhang Dazhuang was asked to find someone to copy the book.

As for the embroidery work, there is no need to mention it. The old lady has a maid who is responsible for the female embroidery.

With the little girl's temperament of not fighting or grabbing, and not getting involved in everything, it would not hurt even if the old lady found out that she had concealed her unique skill of double-sided embroidery.

The old lady will only think that the little girl is strict about rules and timid, and does not dare to make provocations. She is afraid of making the other party jealous and causing trouble, failing her teachings and making outsiders laugh.

This is the importance of personality.

Looking at the books in this cage, we can see how innocent the little girl is in the heart of the old lady. Before she left the house and returned to the village, let alone telling stories, in addition to the official reward for her release from the house, she even received the money that was given to her privately. Let her hide the silver notes.

Also, when the return gift came yesterday, why didn’t you bring this two-box cage with you? To use the third lady’s words, take yesterday’s back and give it to your mother-in-law.

The implication is that these two boxes today are not return gifts, but dowries. Don't be so foolish as to give them to your mother-in-law!

"Hahaha..." Gu Wenxuan couldn't help laughing. Then he saw Zhou Banxia start to turn over the wooden box of another cage, and he simply started grinding.

There is no gift list this time.

Eight of the wooden boxes were given by Mrs. Gao, the eldest wife, the fourth wife, and the second, third, fifth, and sixth wives who were descendants.

The old lady's wooden box is a pair of vermilion makeup boxes.

Very familiar.

In addition to rouge gouache, silver beans, silver peanuts, silver melon seeds, and four kinds of gold "early birth" gold ingots, there is also a set of gold head jewelry inlaid with beads and stones in the small drawer, and a set of silver head jewelry inlaid with pearls.

The eldest lady also has four kinds of gold necklaces in the "early birth of a noble son" style, a set of silver head jewelry with the same pomegranate pattern but different styles inlaid with beads, and a pair of white jade jade plaques with blooming flowers.

The fourth wife's is a pair of small gold Ruyi, about six taels in weight, with the four characters "Ruyi Jixiang" in silver, and a set of pomegranate pattern silver head jewelry.

Then the second, third, fifth and sixth ladies.

In addition to the two more calligraphy and paintings of the second lady, there are four unified gold pins with the words "give birth to a noble son early", four silver pins with the words "ruyijixiang", a set of gilt head jewelry, a set of silver head jewelry, and different ones. Pressed skirt and placket pendant.     The old lady is interested.

Wealthy people have shops that specialize in making head and face jewelry. They are also stamped and registered, so they cannot be pawned or sold easily.

These things are not like the first part of the release reward, which was purchased separately by the government. If they are lost, they will be lost. Unless they are forced to be pawned, it will be a slap in the face of the master.

Even if the gold and silver coins are imprinted, if they are used in urgent need, they can be processed into jewelry at a bank, or exchanged directly for silver notes at a bank account.

Not to mention that the remaining wooden boxes of various sizes were added to by the eldest young lady and others. After all, the three young ladies were very happy to add makeup to her.

On weekdays, she is not the only one who is worried about the day when the old lady will marry the three young masters as concubine. I believe they must also be terrified of the old lady Seifuxing.

In addition, there was actually a piano she had used, a box of paints, a box of brushes, a box of two chess jars with black and white pieces, and a chessboard standing on its side.

Zhou Banxia recalled that Mrs. Gao joked that when she left the house and said goodbye, she would have to buy a real estate shop by herself when she got married. She didn't even know what to write when she picked up a brush and dipped ink.

Although this generous gift was less than one percent of the dowry of a concubine in a high house, as far as she knew, it was the only gift among the maids around the old lady.

Really deserved.

"There is also a famous card here." Seeing Zhou Banxia getting entangled again, Gu Wenxuan added fuel to the fire and said with a smile, "There is also a brand new fur cloak in that bundle."

No!

Zhou Banxia turned around and glanced at the two bags containing clothes, "The sixth lady is about the same height as me, she must be the work of her mother, the third lady.

Including the coat and skirt, they must have just been taken out of the sewing room in a hurry, and they didn't even bother to put them in a box. "

"The daughter of Mrs. Senior High School's daughter?" Gu Wenxuan's heart moved, "Are you still looking for someone to marry, or are you already engaged and getting married?"

"I'm getting married soon."

"That's because the mother-in-law wants you to help put in a good word. In addition to the dowry, let's see if the old lady can dig into her private treasury. It would be more dignified for the daughter to get married."

Zhou Banxia nodded in agreement, "One more thing, the fifth lady suddenly returned home, and the third lady couldn't figure out the old lady's thoughts, for fear that the fifth lady would be decentralized if she didn't leave.

These ladies are not even as good as their sons. The old lady has already said it before. She no longer cares about the family. If she has anything to do, she will seek help from the eldest lady. She also wants to take charge of the central government. "

The big and small kings are no longer in the mountains, who doesn’t want real power?

"Everyone is still saying something in front of me. I am the old lady's wife, and the first lady treats me very well. I can still be stupid and use them as a chess piece for this little thing. Don't mention it, it's early. Write it down and give it to Uncle Ping as soon as possible to send to the old lady. If I guess correctly, Uncle Ping will be at your door soon."

The Uncle Ping that Zhou Banxia was talking about was the senior executive who helped the old lady manage Yunke Lai, a restaurant in Fucheng and various counties. It would be better if she didn't go into the house today, but it would be hard to stay at the Yuelai Inn when she came out.

If he stayed here any longer, he would undoubtedly be separated from the old lady and would be a slap in the face.

Gu Wenxuan knew what she meant, and when he saw her immersed in writing a letter and reporting, he checked the boxes and boxes that were to be moved, including a new year's gift that he originally planned to give to senior executives after leaving the city.

"Sir, you have a visitor."

coming!

The waiter from the inn came to report that even before Zhou Banxia's letter was written, guests came to the door. Not only the senior executives came, but Uncle Rendong also came.
