Chapter 788 Gifts
805
Huaizhu City was raided by the army of Beihe. It was not easy for the clansmen of several clans to gather such a large cart of gifts. Even Duan Xin was embarrassed to accept gifts from others for nothing. How could the gifts fall into Shen Yuzhen's hands?
Hearing this, Duan Shouchuan frowned slightly again, but because several patriarchs were there, he didn't say anything, and after sending them away, Duan Shouchuan said: "Duan Xin, let the servants handle the matter of returning the gifts." Well, why do you need to go there yourself?"

"Patriarch, these are the patriarchs of the three major clans, they can all come to give gifts in person, why can't I return the gifts in person?" Duan Xin smiled and said: "Patriarch, they have already lowered their stance, Would it be too coquettish if we carried it any longer?"

Duan Shouchuan glanced at Duan Xin, and said sullenly, "They lowered their stance because Xu'er drove away the Beihe army for them! If it wasn't for Xu'er, they wouldn't even be able to return home, so they gave some congratulatory gifts What counts?"

Duan Xin raised his eyebrows and said, "Patriarch, actually there is a question I wanted to ask you a long time ago."

Duan Shouchuan suddenly realized what he just said, his heart tightened, he pretended to look at the sky outside, and said: "Duan Xin, it's getting late, and the elders are still waiting for me at home, if your question is not Just wait until I have time to ask again.”

After Duan Shouchuan finished speaking, he hurried out of the yard.

Seeing Duan Shouchuan's figure disappear in the yard, Duan Xin became thoughtful...

Duan Shouchuan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead after leaving Duan's mansion and got into his own carriage, secretly heaving a sigh of relief.

Just now, I was so impatient that I almost gave up. I hope that slippery man doesn't suspect anything.

Beibei's eyes lit up when he saw the things that Duan Xin asked people to move into the yard.

These gifts are varied, including high-quality silks and satins, precious medicinal materials and tonics, and several pieces of jade. Among them, there is a set of jade tea sets that Beibei likes very much, and what makes Beibei's eyes shine are those small packets of local snacks. .

Because of the cold weather, Beibei didn't go to the street after coming here. Seeing these local snacks, Beibei's gluttons were immediately hooked out, and she suddenly wanted to go to the street to have a look.

Yu Qiu knew Beibei's heart very well, and said with a smile: "Miss, the weather is pretty good these days, if you want to go shopping, let's go out tomorrow?"

"Okay!" Beibei's eyes lit up, and she asked worriedly, "Yu Qiu, it's so cold, are all the shops on the street open?"

If there are no shops open, there is no point in going shopping.

"Miss, what is this?" Yu Qiu said as he took out a stack of red paper from the pile of presents.

Beibei took it, opened it and saw that there were several paper-cuts and a few big red blessing characters.

"The people in Huaizhu City are really interesting!" Beibei looked at the words of blessing and smiled.

This word seems to have just been written, but it is not as good as hers!
"Master, I heard that these congratulatory gifts were pieced together by members of several clans of Huang Heliu. Which child should have written this word? This is their wish." Shen Wu explained.

Duan Yixu has now become a hero in the hearts of all the people in Huaizhu City. Duan Yixu is also a native of Huaizhu City. The people in the whole city are proud of him. When everyone learns that Beibei and Dabao will be included in the genealogy The congratulatory gifts were sent to the homes of their respective patriarchs and asked them to send them over.

Hearing this, Beibei put away the lightness in her heart and fell silent. After a while, she handed the word "Fu" and the paper-cuts to Yu Qiu, and ordered: "Paste the words "Fu" and the paper-cuts in my room."

Wan'er, who was sweeping the snow in the yard, paused imperceptibly with her hand holding the broom, and then started sweeping as if nothing had happened.

Yu Qiu smiled and said, "Miss, let's wait until the Chinese New Year to post it. The servant who wants to give this blessing and paper-cut must have the same meaning."

After careful calculation, Beibei said in surprise: "Time flies so fast, it's already December before you know it!"

"That's not right!" Yu Qiu said with a smile: "At this time, the streets of Huaizhu City are bustling, and everyone is starting to sell New Year's goods."

Beibei's eyes flickered slightly, and she made a decision: "Let's visit Huaizhu City tomorrow morning!"

"Yes, miss!" Yu Qiu smiled and blessed his body: "Your servant will go get ready."

Beibei must bring the first and second treasures with her when she goes out. The weather is cold and there are a lot of things to prepare.

The next day, when Duan Xin learned that Beibei was going to take Dabao and Erbao to visit Huaizhu City, he didn't stop her, but sent six more guards for her.

Beibei took Dabao and Erbao in a carriage, escorted by guards, Shen Wenshenwu and others, and headed for the main street of Huaizhu City.

It's just for shopping, in fact, Beibei doesn't want to be so conspicuous, but for the safety of the two children, she can only let the guards follow.

The Duan Mansion's old house is not too far from Huaizhu City Street, but it's not close either. It takes nearly a quarter of an hour by carriage.

Beibei didn't feel it at first, but when she was approaching Huaizhu City Street, she realized that the road was broken, and she was almost knocked down several times.

"Miss, the snow on the road has been cleared, this road is too bad, you need to hold it steady!" Yu Qiu's worried voice sounded from outside the car.

"Understood." Beibei answered.

Fortunately, she put the child into the space as soon as she got into the carriage, otherwise the road would be so bumpy that the milk the child just drank would be knocked out.

Beibei lifted the curtain of the car window a little and took a peek. He saw that there were many people walking on the road, but the surrounding scene seemed a bit desolate.

I don't know what kind of trees are planted on both sides of the road. The branches are covered with a layer of white snow, and the snow shoveled from the middle of the road is also piled up under the trees.

A few meters away on both sides of the road, there are low wooden or stone houses standing in twos and threes, and the roofs are covered with thick snow without exception.

Beibei put down the car curtain, stroked the small jade hand stove in her hand, and suddenly thought of her family.

The scene here is completely different from their fishing village, there is no sense of the year, and I don't know if my mother, brother-in-law, uncle and second uncle have received her letter?

At this time, there should not be many tourists on the beach. Uncle and the others should not be so busy, right?

Last time she taught her uncle how well the sea cucumbers, scallops and other seafood they raise, did they sell to shopkeeper Sun?

And Mancang and Baoer's books don't know how well they are reading. It should be the annual leave at this time, right?
Once the gate of longing is opened, the longing for the family floods in like a flood. Beibei can't stop it even if she wants to. For a while, she thinks of her cousin who is also in the military camp, and then thinks of Widow Liu and Shui Xingshui Lan, I thought of Qiao Qiongyan again...

Suddenly, the carriage braked suddenly, and Beibei leaned forward. She instinctively reached out and grabbed the handrail inside the carriage to stabilize her body, and asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"
