Chapter 1548 - 1550: Can Something That Has Been Made in Four Sets Still Be Called a Family Heirloom_1
"Yangyang, what do you think?"
"Me?" still holding the squirrel, he asked listlessly, "Can I give a squirrel? After all, our family doesn’t have any heirlooms."
"Who says we don’t?" Ye Zi’an said to Yang Chuxia, "Those silver items I gave you could be used as family heirlooms."
"But the problem is we have three sons and a daughter!"
"Just have three more sets made and that’s that." Ye Zi’an waved his hand indifferently.
Lele rolled her eyes speechlessly, "Four sets of items and still calling them heirlooms? You might as well give them to my younger brother, I won’t compete with him."
"Why all the fuss?" Yangyang casually took off his red gold collar, with a transparent glass bead embedded in it, and stuffed it into Yang Chuxia’s hand, "Here, this will do. Young master wore it himself, this is the real token."
"Are you sure?" Yang Chuxia looked at him.
"Sure!" Yangyang huffed, "Getting a pretty wife for nothing, why wouldn’t I want that?"
However, years later, when the news that the Mu Family had an uninspiring daughter spread, Yangyang nearly cried his eyes out.
Standing on top of the Mu Residence’s wall, he covered his face, wondering which wire had crossed in his brain when he was a child, to believe that phoenixes beget phoenixes, that a child born to beautiful parents must be beautiful too?
After saying that, the smug kid holding the squirrel left.
Yang Chuxia looked at the collar in her hand and turned to Ye Zi’an, feeling defeated, "Brother An, I’m barely past twenty. Why do I feel like I’ve already become a mother-in-law?"
"Hehe," Ye Zi’an chuckled, his wife’s glass heart showing again, then he walked up to her and embraced her, saying, "Just think of it as gaining a daughter."
"Sigh!"
Yang Chuxia waved her hand weakly, had Mingcui find a box to put the collar in, and sent it to the Mu Residence.
Mu Shaoling almost spat blood when he received it and cursed. Yang Chuxia was too stingy; he had offered a treasure, and this guy sent over a collar? Little did he know, that thing wasn’t chosen by Yang Chuxia at all.
"Mom, shall we go out to the streets again this afternoon? Who knows when we’ll be able to come to Capital City next time?" After a while, Yangyang came back, this time leading a monkey.
"I’d rather not, Capital City is too much trouble. Every time we go out, it’s one thing after another, so tedious." Yang Chuxia thought to herself, feeling exasperated. Was she naturally at odds with Capital City? Everywhere she went, there were problems.
"Really, Mom? Do you have to be like this?" Yangyang’s eyes widened upon hearing her. Seeing that Yang Chuxia didn’t change her mind, he ran to pull Ye Zi’an, "Handsome dad, let’s go, shall we?"
"Alright, let’s go!" Ye Zi’an said to Yang Chuxia, "We don’t have to worry about getting into trouble. After all, trouble always finds us, not the other way around."
"That’s exactly why I’m worried."
Although Yang Chuxia was reluctant, she couldn’t resist the enthusiasm of the three gentlemen, and eventually agreed.
After having lunch, however, their plans fell through because the decrees from the various prince’s mansions arrived.
After hearing the news, Ye Zi’an incidentally felt that the designated residence wasn’t that great. It was located at the very edge of the inner city and was pretty dilapidated. It was once the residence of a prince from the previous emperor’s time. After that prince committed an offense and was stripped of his title, the mansion was abandoned. Subsequently, whenever a prince got married and left the palace, everyone thought that residence was unlucky. Rather than staying there, the princes preferred to spend their own money to buy a house and stay away from that place.
Now the residence had been bestowed upon Lele. After hearing this, Ye Zi’an wondered if this was the Emperor’s intention, or if nobody reminded the Emperor about it?
