Chapter 379: Favorable Thank-You Gifts
Wang Ersheng left overnight, and when he left, he took with him Qingsong, who was eating and drinking for free and who owed debts that he could not pay back.
When little Yining learned about this, she was already on her way to the girls' school. She looked at her mother in astonishment, "Grandpa actually ran away in the middle of the night?"
Wan Niang nodded helplessly, recalling the time her father came to look for her last night.
First, he repeatedly told her to be more vigilant and take good care of the children and her mother. He then called the owner of the Medicine Valley and bought her a human skin mask. Then, he left without taking anything with him, and no one could stop him.
"Sister Qing, please don't let anything slip about this matter. Lord Chen's matter concerns his life, and no one else can know about it." Wan Niang instructed softly.
Xiao Yining was speechless and choked with emotion.
Grandpa is really hard on the outside but soft on the inside. He clearly wants to help, but he does it in a sneaky way. Is he shy?
But now, there is no man in the family at all.
Oh, I forgot, there is another fellow villager.
She raised her eyes involuntarily and looked at her fellow villager.
Pei Yi was resting his eyes calmly, he already knew what happened last night, and a lot of burdens were weighing on his small shoulders.
He noticed the little girl's gaze, opened his eyes slightly, looked at them firmly, and said calmly: "Don't worry, sister Qing, your uncle will definitely take good care of you and Jiaojiao. Sister-in-law, please relax too. If there is anything difficult, wait until I return from vacation."
Xiao Yining: ..., my fellow villager is definitely getting cocky.
Wan Niang: I am so useless that I am looked down upon by the child...
The mother and daughter snorted in unison and stopped looking at this annoying person.
Pei Yi: ...
The journey was silent and Yunfei Academy arrived in a flash. Before Pei Yi had the chance to say goodbye, he was driven off the carriage by the mother and daughter.
"Ayi, just focus on your studies. Your cousin's wife is taking care of you at home, and Huger and Gungun are both well-behaved and obedient. You don't need to worry." Wan Niang waved her handkerchief and said softly.
Little Yining also leaned over the window, poked his head out, and said in a baby voice, "Uncle, if someone bullies you in the academy, you must ask Granny Zhou to pass the message to me, and I will help you scold him."
After saying that, the mother and daughter drove away.
Pei Yi looked at the carriage going farther and farther away, touched his nose unconsciously, and couldn't help laughing.
Just at this moment, another carriage stopped steadily behind him.
He glanced sideways and recognized that this was the Wu family carriage he had seen yesterday.
There was a flash of surprise in Pei Yi's eyes, and he saw Wu Haoran's face was as pale as paper, and he got out of the car with a slightly unsteady step.
He quickly said with concern, "Uh...Brother Wu, why don't you stay at home and rest for a few days? Your brain is not well yet."
Wu Haoran looked up at him and said uncomfortably, "Although my hand is injured, I cannot fall behind in my studies. By the way, Junior Brother Pei, have you finished your homework this time? If not, I will ask the teacher for a favor on your behalf."
Pei Yi's face froze, he really hadn't written it yet.
It’s really hard to pick up any pot!
He changed the subject and said, "Brother Wu really spent a lot of money yesterday. He actually gave ten bottles of perfume to my sister Qing. She was very happy. She even brought a bottle to the girls' school today to show it to her classmates."
"Really? As long as she likes it." Wu Haoran replied softly without much concern.
As soon as he finished speaking, a discordant sound was heard in the car behind him.
His second brother Wu Shaoming was holding a folding fan and lifting the carriage curtain. His dark brown eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the two of them sarcastically, and said contemptuously, "Third brother has really grown up. I haven't seen you for a few days, but you have learned to please others. Why don't you use that little bit of thought on dad? Otherwise, dad would appreciate you a little bit. Why do you study so hard here, but you are not successful and still a white man."
Wu Haoran's face changed slightly, and he replied stiffly, "Second brother, this is just a normal exchange of courtesy!"
Wu Shaoming sneered, lowered the curtain, and ordered the carriage to turn around.
Wu Haoran couldn't help but look at the young man beside him awkwardly, and then he heard him say indifferently, "I'm not interested in Brother Wu's family scandal."
Wu Haoran: …
Let's talk about the female students...
As soon as little Yining entered Class B, she couldn't wait to take out a small glass bottle from her nanny's cloth bag and put it on the table.
This move did not attract anyone's attention.
Liu Zhenying is still the best student in Class B. She takes advantage of the early arrival to study hard.
As for the rest of the people, because of Chen Jiaoyi's return, they all gathered around her, asking about what happened in North City and sharing with her what happened in Yanjing.
Xiao Yining looked back and saw that Lu Jiayi was not among the crowd, even Jin Xingman was not there. She couldn't help but frowned slightly, but then put it out of her mind. She still had important things to do.
The little boy stretched out his chubby hands and carefully opened the glass bottle, then dripped a few drops of the liquid inside onto the table. The refreshing fragrance instantly spread and flowed into everyone's nose.
I have to say that this perfume is much better than incense. Although it is not long-lasting, its diffusion rate is unmatched.
Little Yining waved her hand, smelled the long-lost fragrance, and calmly closed the glass bottle again.
At this time, Liu Zhenying had been lured over by her.
Her eyes fell on the glass bottle and she sniffed it twice. "Sister Yining, where did you get this?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yining couldn't help but feel a little confused and responded: "Huh? Sister Liu doesn't have it? This is a thank-you gift from my godfather."
Yesterday at dusk, the Lin family received three thank-you gifts, one from Wu'an Marquis Mansion, one from Wu Haoran, and one from the owner of Zhenbao Pavilion. It was really interesting.
However, Wu Haoran's thank-you gift was perfume, and the other two were just money and some ordinary supplements.
Upon hearing this, Liu Zhenying's soul was shocked and asked, "Why did Mr. Wu San give me the four treasures of the study?"
Xiao Yining: ..., how should I know?
After the kid finished showing off, he put it back into the bag under Liu Zhenying's envious gaze.
At this time, Yan Ke came over following the scent and asked, "Sister Yining, was that the perfume from the Treasure Pavilion that you put in there just now?"
Xiao Yining did not hide it and nodded, "Sister Yan Ke, this thing smells so good. From now on, my table will be as fragrant as yours every day."
As soon as she finished speaking, Yan Ke looked at the little kid with a hard-to-tell expression, and warned him like an older sister, "Sister Yining, did you secretly take this from your mother? This perfume costs one hundred taels per bottle. If you break it, your mother will punish you if she finds out."
Just as the kid was about to explain that this was a gift from someone else, Liu Zhenying beside him said, "One, one hundred taels a bottle?"
This movement immediately attracted the attention of others, and they couldn't help but look at her curiously.
Liu Zhenying quickly shut up and explained for the little kid, "Yan Ke, this was given to Yu Yining's sister by someone else, not from her mother."
"Then your mother really loves you. She asked you to bring this thing here. My mother wouldn't let me touch it, saying that it was hard to buy and I would have to wait for a long time." Yan Ke also showed the same envious expression as Liu Zhenying.
Unknowingly, perfume has become popular among the noble ladies in Yanjing, and many people are fascinated by this novel item, making it so expensive that it is out of stock.
One can imagine the value of the bottle in the little kid's hand.
Everyone gathered around curiously, and the little kid generously took it out again for them to look at.
Among them, only Yan Ke's mother had owned this thing. After all, not everyone was willing to spend a hundred taels to buy this small bottle.
Lian Yu Ke has never bought it. She is not at the age where she wants everything.
Little Yining showed off quite successfully.
Liu Zhenying was completely jealous. "This thing is just a temporary novelty. The four treasures of the study are still better."
The little girl agreed with this. She actually wanted the four treasures of the study more than perfume.
"Sister Liu, the gift my godfather gave you must be very expensive." The little kid also comforted her in disguise.
Liu Zhenying glanced at her and said embarrassedly that her father asked her to put away the set of four treasures of the study and save it for gifts in the future.
At this moment, Jin Xingman appeared at the door of Class B wearing a heavy veil and with red eyes.
This sudden scene instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Cui Zhiyao, the recognized elder sister of Class B, frowned and asked with concern, "Manman, what's wrong with your face?"
Before she finished speaking, Jin Xingman burst into tears, "Sister Cui, my face was ruined by my aunt."
Everyone:...
