Chapter 254: Comparing the Gifts

"Second Miss Qin, this servant belongs to Duke Xingguo's mansion. This time I came to arrange for our wife to recognize Miss Qi as her adopted daughter."

The eldest maid smiled gently and politely.

Qin Wanru nodded. This maid looked familiar. She had followed Mrs. Xingguo to the mansion before.

"Our wife likes the second young lady very much, and she sincerely wanted to ask the second young lady to be her adopted daughter. Unexpectedly, the words spread outside were too unpleasant. Our wife reprimanded our wife, and she had no choice but to change her. But No matter what, our madam’s favorite is the second young lady. Even if we don’t have the chance to become mother and daughter, I still ask my servant to tell the second young lady. If anything happens from now on, you can tell our madam directly, and our madam will try her best to help!”

The eldest maid said eloquently, finishing all the instructions given by Mrs. Xingguo in one breath, and then waved to a maid behind her.

The maid stepped forward and respectfully presented a gift box in front of Qin Wanru.

"Originally, I wanted to find the second young lady, but I happened to meet him this time, so I asked this slave to take a few steps less. This box of pearls was given to our lady by the queen, but our lady is also allowed to give gifts, and they can be used as earrings. , can also be used as necklaces, they are all excellent. Originally, our wife specially kept them for our eldest lady, but this matter... our wife felt quite guilty, so she gave them to Miss Qin as a companion!"

The maid stepped forward and lifted the lid of the box, and everyone was immediately attracted to the box filled with pearls.

The pearls are neither big nor small, and each one is perfectly round. The most rare thing is that these pearls are almost the same size, so they are indeed excellent whether used as headdress or other accessories.

Such a box of pearls is quite large, and each pearl is of the highest quality. It took a lot of effort to get it out, not to mention that it was a gift from the Queen. Of course, it was clearly stated that it could be given to others, which also meant that it was nothing. No worries.

"This...is your eldest lady's thing, I still can't bear it!" Qin Wanru's long eyelashes trembled, she shook her head with a smile, and turned her eyes away from the pearls, her watery eyes were beautiful, it seemed She is extremely pure and indifferent, and she really doesn't like these pearls too much.

The eldest maid has been with Duke Xingguo for a long time, and has seen many young ladies. Although many of them say they don't want it, they are very greedy in their behavior. It is rare to see someone so calm and composed, and she can't help but feel sad in her heart. Gao glanced at Qin Wanru.

"Second Miss Qin, our wife said that our eldest daughter has a lot of jewelry, and the eldest daughter doesn't like wearing her head full of pearls. The second daughter is younger than our eldest daughter. It's time for her to dress up. This box of pearls is for you. It’s just right to give it to the second lady. It’s our wife’s heartfelt wish. Please don’t refuse it!”

The eldest maid said with a very talkative smile.

If Qin Wanru continues not to accept it, it means that he does not accept the humility of Mrs. Xingguo, and is somewhat trying to take advantage of Qiao.

"Thank you madam for me!" Qin Wanru smiled slightly, the smile in her eyes became deeper, and her eyes flashed past the other maid's hand.

The maid also had a small gift box in her hand. It was very small and looked like small ornaments such as hairpins, earrings, and flowers. She lowered her head and stood behind the big maid, standing neatly.

Yujie stepped forward and took the box from the maid's hand, then stood behind Qin Wanru.

"How are Miss Qi's preparations going?" Since he had received the courtesy from Mrs. Xingguo, Qin Wanru couldn't completely stay out of the matter and said with a slight smile.

"Miss Qi has already made preparations, but we can wait until our wife is ready. But our wife said that Miss Qi is not alone in Beijing, and there are two brothers. This matter must be discussed with Miss Qi's two brothers." Let’s discuss it with my two brothers, so we have to get Miss Qi’s two brothers to agree.”

The eldest maid replied with a smile.

This means that Qi Rongzhi is well prepared and eager to go to Duke Xingguo's Mansion to be a young lady, but Duke Xingguo's Mansion is not in a hurry and seems to be taking her time according to the rules.

"Then Miss Qi is going to the Qi Mansion's house to wait for news?" Qin Wanru fluttered her long eyelashes twice and asked curiously.

"This matter is not urgent. Let's wait until the two young masters of Qi Mansion confirm this matter. There are no elders or family members in Qi Mansion's house in the capital. Our lady feels that it is more appropriate for Miss Qi to live in Ningyuan General Mansion first. She will stay there for a long time. After the marriage acknowledgment is completed, we can invite Miss Qi into our house!"

The eldest maid responded very appropriately, and she knew she was well trained.

Qin Wanru gently pursed her bright red lips, and a trace of darkness slid across her watery eyes. This meant that things were slowly settling down, and Qi Rongzhi would still have to live in her own house for a while!

"Have you just said this to Miss Qi?" She turned her eyes calmly to the small gift box left in the maid's hand. Since Mrs. Xingguo wanted to accept Qi Rongzhi in such a big way, she couldn't be so embarrassed in front of her. Such a small gift box for Qi Rongzhi.

This gift should have been given out, and if I thought correctly, this gift box should be for Qin Yuru.

Di was under guard. Although Qin Yuru was banned before, she was only banned. Others could still go in to see her.

The first person to deliver the gift should be Qi Rongghi, but with Qi Rongghi’s character when he saw there were two gift boxes, he would definitely find out who it was for and what it was...

"It has been sent over, and we have agreed with Miss Qi that during this period, we have to ask Miss Qin to take care of Miss Qi. Our lady is very grateful!" The eldest maid's attitude was very low, and she said His gratitude to Qin Wanru was beyond words.

If Qin Wanru hadn't secretly intervened in this matter, he would have felt that Mrs. Xingguo really liked her. Unfortunately, due to formality, she couldn't recognize her as her adopted daughter, but her true feelings were... She is as good as an adopted daughter, even more caring than Qi Rongzhi.

Then he also wants to express the same gratitude?

"Thank you madam, I will do it!" Qin Wanru smiled subtly.

"I still need to trouble the second lady with something. I wonder if it's feasible?" the eldest maid asked with a smile.

"What's the matter?" Qin Wanru said lazily.

"There is a pair of earrings in this gift box, which our wife wanted to give to Miss Qin. But when we went to see Miss Qin just now, we found that the people in the yard refused to let the slave in. This slave came on the order of our wife. Yes, our lady has given gifts to the three young ladies in the house, but this time the gift was not delivered to the eldest lady. I am afraid that our lady will blame me, so I want to ask the second lady for a favor..."

The eldest maid looked embarrassed and looked at Qin Wanru pleadingly.

"Is this for eldest sister?" Qin Wanru's eyes narrowed, and she seemed to glance at the gift box in the maid's hand with interest.

She is such a big box of pearls, and Qin Yuru is just a pair of small earrings. From the looks of it, Qin Yuru is incomparable to herself.

This contrast is really strong!

Qin Yuru was only banned before, but after the "map" incident in the hands of Grandma Sheng, Qin Huaiyong had her yard guarded. Although it was not like the Di family where no one was allowed to come in and out at will, it was still possible to enter. The person must have sufficient reasons.

I heard that Qin Yuru was not allowed to come out until she had finished copying the female ring a hundred times, and the female ring was not allowed to come out before!

"Yes, our wife gave this to the eldest lady. Of the three ladies in the house, we only gave it to two young ladies. We were afraid that the eldest lady would overthink it!" the eldest maid explained.

So this gift is really small and insignificant, just to cover Qin Yuru's face.

This kind of thing was a trivial matter, and Mrs. Xingguo had expressed so much kindness to her before. It was really unreasonable for Qin Wanru not to help.

"Then keep it, I'll give it to eldest sister later!" Qin Wanru smiled elegantly.

Such an elegant smile coupled with those watery eyes seemed to see through people's hearts. The eldest maid's heart skipped a beat when she saw it, and she lowered her head anxiously, but then she also laughed. Even Miss Qin Er was... Born to be smart, how much can an eleven-year-old girl know without any experience.

He bowed sideways and blessed Qin Wanru respectfully: "Thank you, Miss Qin!"

Another maid holding a small gift box came forward, and Yu Jie took the small gift box from that maid's hand.

"Second Miss Qin, that servant will go back first. Please excuse me, Miss Qin!" The maid bowed politely again.

Qin Wanru nodded slightly, and the eldest maid took the two little maids and turned and left.

"Second young lady, let's go back to our own yard first. After the servants put down their things, we can go and give gifts to the eldest lady!" Yu Jie said after watching several maids leave.

Without that box of precious pearls, the earrings would be nice, but with this box of pearls, the earrings would certainly seem less polite. Qin Yuru has always thought highly of herself, so how can she be the kind of person who can be praised by others? Those who compete may become enchanting again after seeing this.

Qin Yuru has been very depressed recently, and there is no place to vent her bad breath. She is not willing to send it to her door at this time.

"There's no need to go back first, let's go see eldest sister. It's always a sister's game. I, the younger sister, should send some warmth to the elder sister at this time!" Qin Wanru raised her eyebrows and looked at her. Looking at the corner of the plum grove, this plum grove is actually not big, with only about ten trees, but there are many plum blossoms in bloom, and the plum blossoms are fragrant. It is considered an excellent place to appreciate plum blossoms in Qin Mansion!

"What should I do if the eldest lady is angry?" Yujie asked worriedly. She was sure that if she just passed by like this, it would definitely cause trouble again.

"So what? In the past, the eldest sister has always been around me. At this time, shouldn't there be a legitimate reason to go see the eldest sister?" Qin Wanru smiled, feeling quite proud. Looking at the big gift box in Yujie's hand, she flipped up the lid with her hand, picked up a bead inside, and looked at the sun.

"I heard that there is a kind of pearl in the south. Although it is not big, it is extremely rare. When strung in strings, it will make it shine and polish, and it can also maintain the color. In the past, my eldest sister liked to use pearl powder to moisten it. If I use this kind of pearl, will it be more beautiful? The color is lovely?" Qin Wanru smiled more and more proudly.

That delicate little face was proud and proud for a moment, and the narrowed watery eyes showed a hint of provocation. It was clear at a glance that he had no good intentions!

"Okay, Qin Wanru, you are always pretending!" A cold snort came from behind the plum tree...
