Chapter 62 Birthday Gift (1)
Aunt Yang gave it well.She sent two pieces of cloth, one of fine off-white linen, and the other of light pink satin.An Ran doesn't know much about silk and satin, she only sees the bright colors, the silk and satin itself has natural texture, and has different reflections from different angles.According to my aunt, this is a plain-colored hangluo, and this one costs more than ten taels of silver!
An Ran clicked her tongue, this is too expensive.Rural people can save two taels of silver a year through hard work. This piece of silk and satin costs more than ten taels of silver, which is indeed a luxury for the rich.An Ran couldn't bear to let her mother use this to make clothes, how good would it be to keep it for money?
As for clothes, they are all made of natural fabrics anyway, so An Ran doesn't pick at all.In fact, she thinks that the clothes made of linen are pretty good, but the silk ones, if they are accidentally torn, even if the silk is only slipped, then she will feel so distressed to death?And why did my aunt deliberately mention the price of this piece of silk?Is it just to show off the weight of the gift she gave?
Before lunch, Zhao Anqi and Gu Shaolin came back from the school, but to An Ran's surprise, Qian Ning also came along.

Hearing that today is An Ran's birthday, Qian Ning also took half a day off and insisted on celebrating with them.In fact, who doesn't know him, doesn't he just want to play with him?He had brought a box of pastries with him, but he thought it was too light to use this as a birthday present, so he insisted on going out to buy something as a present after lunch.

When the children heard it, they were all moved.How great would it be if you could go out shopping?
So, several children all went to pester Zhao Shihua, wanting to play with his sister on the street.

Zhao Shihua had a headache, it was fine if his own child scolded him, but there was still the son of the wealthy family!Moreover, looking at An Ran's appearance, it seems that she also wants to go out to play.

"How about this, you just had dinner, rest at home for a while, I will report to the adults. If the adults agree, you can go out together." Zhao Shihua also compromised.

The children cheered and got ready.

Since he was going out, he naturally had to bring his private money.Gu Shaolin hurriedly returned home to take his private money, and told An Qi An Ran to wait for him.Qian Ning originally wanted to go back to get the money, but she was worried that her father would hold her back and would not let her out. After weighing it up, she decided it was better not to go back.The big deal is to ask Gu Shaolin to borrow some when I go to the street later.

Zhao Shihua went to the Yamen and told Mr. Qian about the matter. Qian Pengyang thought he had to give Mr. Zhao face, and his son had also made progress in his studies during this time, so he agreed.He is not at ease just letting a few children go out by themselves.After thinking about it, Qian Pengyang simply asked Qian Rui to go with the children, and at the same time whispered that he remembered to bring money to buy An Ran a gift.

But Qian Rui came to Zhao's house in person, took the four children out together, and didn't let anyone else follow him, only a ten-year-old boy named Yang Hao followed Qian Ning every step of the way.

It's rare for the children to go shopping, but they are very happy.Gu Shaolin said to go to a teahouse to listen to other people's storytelling, Qian Ning said to go to the street to watch juggling, Zhao Anqi said to go to a dim sum shop to buy some snacks, and the children couldn't stop arguing.Qian Rui folded his arms around his chest and watched the children slowly discussing with a smile.

The children all thought that the place they chose was the most fun, but after all, Qian Ning was the magistrate's young master. Zhao Anqi gave in first, and asked An Ran sideways, "Sister, where do you think we should go? How about going to buy pastries later?" Eat?" He dared to say that he was going to the pastry shop, just thinking that his sister likes to eat pastry.

At this moment, Gu Shaolin and Qian Ning remembered that they had come out to play with An Ran, they borrowed the name to celebrate someone's birthday, and even forgot to ask for their opinion, they were a little embarrassed.

An Ran smiled and said: "We have an afternoon, what are you fighting for? Why don't we go to a nearby dim sum shop to buy dim sum, and then go to the juggling place while eating. We can walk all the way and see interesting shops Just go in and have a look, and you can buy something delicious when you see it. After watching the juggling, everyone is tired from walking, so they find a teahouse where there are storytellers to sit down, drink tea and listen to books. Isn’t that good?”

"Okay!" Zhao Anqi nodded again and again, "My sister is smart."

Gu Shaolin also nodded and smiled, "Cousin is the smartest."

Qian Ning also clapped his hands and laughed, "Okay, just listen to sister Zhao's!"

Qian Rui looked at An Ran with a smile, and thought to himself: No wonder my overlord-like younger brother thinks about giving this little girl snacks every day, he is really smart.This is only five years old, right?I don't know what it will be like when I grow up.

So, Qian Rui, who is familiar with all the streets, led the way, first went to the nearest dim sum shop, bought some small snacks that are not often eaten, and then went to the dried fruit shop to buy some dried fruit, each of them put some in his purse, and laughed. Go west.It is said that there are jugglers only in the West District, but not every day, you have to try your luck.

An Ran has two purses on her body, one is filled with red dates, the other is filled with pine nuts, and the pastry is in the hand of her brother, who can let him ask for it when she wants to eat.

Qian Rui almost never stopped looking at An Ran's small mouth, eating this and that, bouncing around like a little squirrel, and couldn't help laughing to himself.This is just like a child, sometimes he feels that this girl is not as smart as a child.

When passing by Moxiangzhai, Qian Rui took everyone in and asked Qian Ning to help An Ran choose a set of Four Treasures of the Study, saying it was a birthday present for her.

Seeing that these things are useful and not very expensive, An Ran accepts them with peace of mind.Then, she turned around and smiled sweetly at Qian Ning, "Thank you, Second Young Master, I like this gift very much!"

Unexpectedly, when Gu Shaolin saw this, he frowned, and immediately took off a white jade finger, insisting on giving An Ran a birthday present, which caused An Ran a headache.Although An Ran didn't know jade very well, she could tell that it was a good piece of jade, with warm tentacles and a very delicate texture.The so-called gold has a price and jade is priceless. Can she accept such a precious thing?
"Cousin, this, this is too precious, my daughter can't take it." An Ran returned the white jade finger to Gu Shaolin.

With a hurt expression on Gu Shaolin's face, he said angrily, "Why don't you want my things?"

An Ran had no choice but to say it again: "This is too precious, why don't you change it to my cousin? Or my cousin can also give me a set of the Four Treasures of the Study, or I can just give me a book."
