Chapter 815 - 816: Birthday Celebration Ceremony (6)
Huo Yuan was indifferent to the pleasures of the palate, but when Cai Wei said she would personally cook for him, he gladly agreed, and sat at the table brimming with anticipation...
Inside Farmer’s Manor
Aunt Bi, accompanied by her personal maid, smoothly entered the backyard where Cai Fei was learning embroidery.
Ever since Fei’er had found the purse of jewelry she had lost, Aunt Bi often came over to chat and give her gifts. Although Fei’er didn’t like being disturbed by outsiders, she wouldn’t slap a smiling face, and since the other party had come to repay a favor, she maintained a superficial politeness, not willing to ignore her.
Unfortunately, it seemed as though Aunt Bi was oblivious to Fei’er’s aversion to her, continuing to visit with the same relentless enthusiasm, presenting one gift after another, one day a pot of chicken soup, the next day a piece of jewelry. Her zeal was on par with that of a servant showing filial piety to their master.
Today, she came bearing a Xiangfei bamboo pipa folding fan for women. Upon seeing Fei’er, she offered it with a beaming smile, "Sister has come to bother Younger Sister again, and you mustn’t get annoyed with me."
After speaking, she handed over the Xiangfei bamboo pipa folding fan, "The days are growing hotter by the day, keep this fan to cool yourself!"
Fei’er took the fan and noticed that the bones of the fan were speckled with a dark red hue, the finest quality of Xiangfei bamboo, and the craftsmanship was extremely fine, with the bones engraved with a pattern of luxurious flowers and birds.
Having spent time with Nanny Xi, she had gained some knowledge and knew that this red Xiangfei bamboo fan was highly coveted, and just this fan alone was worth three to four hundred taels of silver.
