Transmigrated as a Peasant Baby Who is Pampered by All

Chapter 682: Chapter 454: Gifts

Xiaoxue also gave Second Aunt a piece of milk candy, letting her taste the flavor; the rest she planned to take to her own room.

Inside, there were only a few pieces of each type of candy. It was clearly meant for her, and she certainly wouldn’t waste Xiaomi’s kind gesture.

She knew Xiaomi must have prepared more than just this box; there should be an assortment of candies for the whole family to enjoy together.

As for this box, it should be her New Year gift, and everyone else surely has their own things.

Sure enough, Xiaomi immediately brought out another box.

”Mother, this one is for you.”

The box was not big, and Xiaomi directly placed it in Second Aunt’s hand.

Second Aunt initially thought it was also some edibles, given that most of what Xiaomi had brought back was food and drinks.

However, the moment she opened the box, she was stunned.

”This is...”

Xiaomi smiled and nodded: ”It’s a necklace, earrings, ring, and bracelet, all made of top-quality mutton-fat jade. Big Brother said it’s very, very valuable, and when we go to the Capital City, as the wife of Lord Houye, you’ll need these things.”

It’s to give Mother a sense of prestige. Although when Father was conferred the title, the Emperor also sent a lot of very good things, what they give themselves is naturally more prestigious than what others send.

Moreover, when Ling’er found it, she even flipped out the price tag; these combined are worth billions. In terms of craftsmanship or jade material, they’re the best of the best.

Xiaomi doesn’t know where she got them from, anyway, as long as they’re good things.

Besides, Big Brother vouched for it, indicating this prestige is absolutely fine.

With this, she took the opportunity to present them.

Second Aunt was still in a daze, feeling the weight in her hand as if it were a thousand pounds, fearing to drop any piece.

Xiaoxue was the first to snap out of it: ”Mother, don’t just stand there, put them away quickly, Xiaomi is still waiting.”

”Yes, yes, yes, put them away, put them away, thank you Xiaomi, Mother loves them.”

Second Aunt hurriedly closed the wooden box, finally feeling slightly relieved, she didn’t even ask where Xiaomi got it.

Anyway, Xiaomi’s secrets, it’s not lacking this one.

Xiaomi giggled several times: ”Father and the others have theirs too, but now is not the time to bring them out.”

As she said this, she rummaged through, and from a large box, brought out a wooden box.

”Mother, Second Sister, I’ll show you quietly, this inside is for the Emperor and Empress.”

As she spoke stealthily, she had already opened it directly.

Inside were two transparent glass liquor bottles, with exquisite designs, crystal clear, and free of any impurities.

Upon seeing the liquor bottles, Xiaoxue and Second Aunt exclaimed together: ”Liuli! Excellent top-grade Liuli!”

This was even more shocking than seeing Second Aunt’s priceless set of white jade jewelry.

Xiaomi pouted: ”What, it’s not some top-grade Liuli.”

They’re just ordinary glass liquor bottles.

Luckily even though a bit tipsy, she knew what could be said and what couldn’t.

Xiaomi casually picked up a bottle: ”Inside is baijiu, but that’s not important, look inside, there’s a dragon inside.”

Picking up the liquor bottle, inside, a five-clawed golden dragon seemed to soar.

”And this one, it contains red wine; inside there’s a phoenix.”

The other bottle needed to be inverted, near an oil lamp, to see the phoenix within ready to spread its wings and fly.

Xiaoxue and Second Aunt were already stunned, while Xiaomi grinned, putting the two bottles back.

”When Commander Yang returns after New Year, let him help us send them to the Emperor and Empress. Anyway, Big Brother will work under them eventually; offering some gifts now ensures they won’t trouble him later.”

”Moreover, Big Brother said, ordinary people can’t use these bottles; using them is a grave crime that warrants the execution of the nine clans. Anyway, we don’t have use for them, giving them away is fine.”

Her casual unconcerned demeanor made it seem as though the exquisite Liuli wasn’t worth much.

Indeed, it wasn’t valuable, at least for Xiaomi.

She had a whole pile of such bottles in her space, with all kinds of designs, like smooth sailing, a roc spreading its wings, and so on.

Originally they were baijiu bottles, but the baijiu had been poured out, replaced by Ling’er’s homemade brew, and sealed with cork.

After Xiaomi finished showing off, she began yawning, feeling less energetic, truly tired now.

Second Aunt put everything away, holding the gifts Xiaomi gave her in one hand, supporting Xiaomi with the other.

”It’s late, Xiaomi should sleep first, and we’ll look at the rest tomorrow, alright?”

This time, Xiaomi finally nodded obediently, Second Aunt and Xiaoxue breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly sent Xiaomi back to her room. It was indeed late, and they were too lazy to wash up.

Ads by PubFuture Coming out of Xiaomi’s room, the mother and daughter exchanged a glance, and suddenly couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

”Alright, you should head back soon, it’s late, and we need to get up early tomorrow to prepare.”

”Yes, Mother, you rest early too.”

Then the mother and daughter took the gifts from their daughter/sister and returned.

Comparing various candies to top-quality mutton-fat jade, naturally, the value speaks for itself.

However, the feelings of receiving the gift are exactly the same.

Xiaoxue has liked sweet candies since childhood, although she grew up, started earning her own money, understanding candies shouldn’t be indulged in too much, so she didn’t indulge.

But Xiaomi remembered her preferences, and carefully selected various flavored candies to give her, how could she not like them?

Second Aunt seemingly didn’t have anything particularly favored, so Xiaomi selected that set of jade jewelry, just like she said, to help Father and Mother show their dignity in the Capital City in the future.

It’s been heard that a Marquis’ Residence is specially refurbished for them in the Capital City, waiting for their return.

By then, they’ll undoubtedly face invitations from all sides.

Closing the doors and not meeting anyone would be impractical; if they need to go out, naturally, they shouldn’t fall short of showing the grandeur of their Marquis Residence.

Anyway, when Xiaomi and Wei Ziang chose the mutton-fat jade, that was their thought.

Not only Mother has it, Father has it too.

As for the other siblings, there’s no need to worry, with their parents’ prestige, who would look down on their children?

Xiaomi drowsily rolled over on the bed, hugged the quilt, smacked her lips a few times, not knowing what good thing she dreamed of, still smiling during her sleep.

It might be due to drinking a bit, sleeping deeply, anyway, when she woke groggily, the sun was already shining on her backside.

From the yard came the sound of family talking, and the nose caught a fragrant aroma, as if stewing chicken, yet seeming like there was beef aroma.

Cocooned in the quilt, squinting eyes, rolling on the bed again a few times before finally getting up slowly.

Sitting on the bedside, suddenly clear-headed, she suddenly smacked her forehead.

”Careless, I got drunk last night, not knowing if I said something I shouldn’t have.”

She recalled her boasting in the storeroom last night.
