Chapter 595 - 593: The Gift
The very next morning, Wang Yongzhen had prepared breakfast, and because Wang Yongan’s family was there, she specially made a pot of white porridge, served with salted vegetables, and even sliced up two salted duck eggs.
These were brought over by Wang Laozhu, and she hadn’t had the heart to eat them, saving them for today.
These were truly the best things she could present.
Wang Yongan, for his part, didn’t say anything, but Jinchai, who was used to being picky back in Qi City,
when had she ever eaten such things for breakfast? It would either be pastries with a bowl of sweet douhua, or steamed dumplings with porridge, and several small dishes to choose from.
However, Lady Qian had already instructed her the night before to endure for a few days, so even though it was unpleasant, Jinchai grudgingly ate the salted eggs and drank half a bowl of porridge.
After breakfast, Lady Qian went back to her room and carried out a large bundle, which she had packed up the previous night as gifts for the Wang Family.
Lady Qian first gave Wang Yongzhen a package of pastries, which she claimed were a speciality of the county town, and then a fine silver hairpin, also said to be a new style from the county town, for Wang Yongzhen to wear and enjoy.
Other than when she got married and brought along a few silver hairpins, Wang Yongzhen had never received such a gift.
Hearing these were fine items from the county town, she was so excited that her hands trembled, clutching the hairpin without letting go.
A hint of disdain flickered in Lady Qian’s eyes; such lack of worldliness, to react like this over a single silver hairpin.
