Jiang Yingqiu sat in front of Mo Beihan. “Your grandfather gave these to me. Although our forebears were not rich, your grandfather managed to hide some of his wealth. But the situation was not so peaceful then, so he kept it hidden.

“Fortunately, he always kept it hidden, or we would have been in trouble.”

The Mos were currently peasants. If Old Master Jiang had not deliberately hidden his wealth, their background might not be so good now.

Jiang Yingqiu said, “That year, your grandfather was very sick. He gave me these things and I kept them hidden. When your elder brother got married, I gave him some. But later on..”

Jiang Yingqiu struggled to suppress her grief when she thought of her elder son who had passed away. Then she continued, “Later on, your elder brother ran into trouble and these things came back to me. I kept them to give to Chengrui and Chengxu in the future. This pair of bangles are for you. Now you’re only getting engaged. I have a few more for your wedding.

“I don’t have much. I only hid a little.”

Mo Beihan nodded. He knew his forebears were not rich. It was already surprising that they had this.

Mo Beihan took it and decided to give them to Gu Qingyao the next day.

The two of them talked for a while, then Jiang Yingqiu went to bed.

Mo Beihan looked at these things. He did not fall asleep until late.

The next day, everyone in the Gu family got up early. Gu Qingyao put on her set of new clothes.

The snow had not yet melted, but today’s weather was extremely good. It felt warmer than the previous days.

Gu Qingyao got up very early. She wore her thermal underwear and flannel pants from her interspace. Over that, she wore a red sweater knitted from sheep’s wool. She had made this sweater especially thick, so it was very warm to wear.

Lastly, she put on her red and blue checked coat. She had added a fleece lining inside the coat to keep her warm when she wore it.

She carefully combed her braids, then put on her black trousers and leather shoes. Her eldest aunt, Fang Ling, saw her the moment she walked out of her room.

“Wow! Yao Yao looks great!”

Gu Qingyao was naturally fair. Most peasant girls were exposed to the elements and seldom had especially fair skin. But Gu Qingyao was very fair.

Large eyes, a handsome nose, a tall and slender figure, and skin that was naturally fair, radiant and smooth.

The Gu family was generally good-looking. After all, they used to be an important family, they raised children who were good-looking and carried themselves well. But Gu Qingyao had a slight edge over the rest.

She was not yet grown and still seemed a little childish. When she had matured in a few years time, she would be even prettier!

Fang Ling walked over and studied Gu Qingyao. The new clothes that Gu Qingyao was wearing were extremely rare!

“So beautiful. The clothes are pretty, and so are you. Aiyah, that brat Beihan really got a good deal!”

Gu Yunshen had also just got up. He was stunned when he saw Gu Qingyao!

The little girl in front of him was really beautiful!

She was not just beautiful, but also had the elegant bearing of someone raised in an aristocratic family. She smiled sweetly, her expression joyous.

As he looked at the young girl before her, Gu Yunshen could not help but recall another slender figure. Your daughter looks more and more like you as she grows up!

The family got up, one after another. When they saw Gu Qingyao looking so pretty, the older and younger cousins all surrounded her.

Today was an auspicious day. They all forbade Gu Qingyao from entering the kitchen. They would just have a simple breakfast. The Mo family would be here soon.

They would have to prepare two tables of dishes for lunch. Mo Beihan had prepared many of the items, and he had sent them over earlier.historical
