A retired aunt traveled through time and space, and her daughter became rich!
Chapter 141 Two Small Meeting Gifts
Looking at her adopted granddaughter's surprised reaction, Aunt Su smiled and rubbed He Shan's head.
"By the way, Sister Shan, I was so busy the past two days that I forgot to give you a gift."
This time when Lin Lao Er brought He Shan back to Tongcheng, Lin Yanniang also prepared a box full of gifts for Madam Jiao to take back.
These gifts are mainly fabrics, clothes, shoes and hats.
All the fabrics were of good quality, including silks, satins, furs, and even tributes from the palace.
But Lin Yanniang was really too considerate. That color was commonly used by old ladies of that era.
Such as dark blue, dark black, autumn fragrance, dark green, etc., occasionally mixed with a little red.
As for the clothes, shoes and hats, some were even made by Lin Yanniang herself.
For example, there is a headband with an emerald inlaid on it. The craftsmanship is really good and the emerald is beautiful, but Aunt Su really can't bear to wear this headband!
The thing that Aunt Su likes most is shoes.
Maybe the daughter knew her mother's foot size, so she made seven or eight pairs of shoes of various materials, which can be used all year round, indoors and outdoors!
This is something that only daughters in ancient times could do.
In modern times, Su Heiya would prick her hand while sewing buttons, so how could you expect her to make shoes? That's absolutely impossible.
So in return, Aunt Su also plans to take better care of He Shan.
When He Shan heard that she was going to get a gift, she hurriedly shook her head, "Grandma, you don't have to give me a gift. The last time my second uncle came to Beijing, he already brought a gift from Grandma to me and Hu Ge'er!"
As she spoke, she raised one arm and showed Aunt Su the pink pearl bracelet on her wrist.
"My grandmother gave me three sets of pearls. My mother kept two sets for me and asked me to keep one set. When I came here, I was afraid I might lose them on the way, so I only brought the bracelet with me."
A string of thin pink pearls necklace is worn on the white and tender wrist, which is really eye-catching.
Aunt Su looked quite satisfied and nodded, saying, "That was sent to you. It's different from this time."
As she spoke, she turned and opened the chest of drawers beside the table.
He took out two small boxes from the cupboard and placed them in front of He Shan with a smile.
"Open it and take a look. Do you like it?"
Although He Shan said that there was no need for a meeting gift, she was naturally happy when the gift was placed in front of her.
The two boxes were about the same size, so she opened the one on the right first.
When you open it, you'll see something silvery inside the box.
When I took it out and looked at it, I found that it was a small silver statue. The statue was a gorgeous carriage, shiny and bright.
The style of this little carriage is slightly different from the ones she has seen before, but that does not prevent it from being exquisite and beautiful.
"Thank you, Grandma, this little carriage is really nice!"
Aunt Su knew that the child did not discover the mechanism of the carriage.
"Haha, this is not just a small carriage, there are mechanisms here!"
"There is a small spring here on the base. Turn it up a few times and then release it..."
Aunt Su twisted it twice and put it back on the table.
I saw that the small carriage actually started to spin automatically. Not only did it move, but it also made pleasant music from the base of the carriage.
He Shan stared at the moving little carriage in surprise and joy, her face full of fascination, and she was reluctant to look away.
Ah, this carriage not only moves, it can also sing!
Seeing that the carriage stopped moving and the music stopped, He Shan looked up at her grandmother.
"Grandma, this gift is too precious."
Aunt Su was also full of a sense of accomplishment.
This little carriage music box looks really good, it's worth the task she gave to Su Heiya!
But only girls of this era would like this kind of toy.
In modern times, children have too many toys, and with the advent of powerful devices like mobile phones and tablets, no matter how expensive the toys are, they may be rejected.
Therefore, when Aunt Su gives gifts to children of relatives, she usually sends red envelopes directly on WeChat.
It's so embarrassing to save money but still be unpopular!
"It's just a toy for children, it's not expensive! Sister Shan, try playing with it yourself."
He Shan carefully imitated Aunt Su and wound the spring twice. Sure enough, the little silver carriage slowly rotated with the sound of music. She couldn't help but move closer to take a closer look. The corners of her mouth unconsciously stretched open, revealing her cute dimples... Ah, such a magical treasure, she dared to guarantee that even in Beijing, no other girl would have the same one!
Aunt Su waited patiently for the carriage and the music to stop.
"There is another box, open it and take a look, Sister Shan."
This time, inside the box was also a silver-glittering treasure.
This item is a little smaller than the carriage, only as big as a baby's palm. It is a silver disc with a silver chain. The disc is inlaid with translucent crystals, revealing the light green inside. However, on this light green disc, there is a circle of black gems inlaid. The edge of each black gem is engraved with a conspicuous black rune, and there are three long silver needles fixed in the center of the circle.
No matter how hard He Shan thought, she couldn't figure out what this treasure was used for.
If it is just a pendant, the things in this disc are obviously not just decorations.
"Grandma, what is this?"
Although the era that Aunt Su traveled to was a parallel universe, if compared with the modern era in terms of its level of development, it was eight hundred years before the modern era.
Clocks with springs appeared five hundred years ago.
If this is the case, then this kind of clock has not yet been invented in this world.
"This is called a clock. It's used to tell time. It's used in the same way as the music box just now."
This pocket-sized mechanical alarm clock is also driven by a spring, so Aunt Su dared to take it out.
But this spring is much more delicate than the one on the base of the music box.
Aunt Su demonstrated it to He Shan and taught her how to tell time.
Although there is a slight difference in the conversion between the hour system and the minute system, the little girl is very smart and learned it quickly.
"This clock is not available to outsiders. When you return to the capital, Sister Shan, don't show it to outsiders. But it's okay to show it to your own family. Remember?"
Aunt Su asked Su Heiya to prepare these two small gifts because she thought that these two things were scarce here and not expensive in modern times.
But after it was transmitted, Aunt Su felt that this small clock was too rare and could be regarded as a rare treasure.
Aunt Su hesitated for a moment as to whether to give this thing to He Shan.
But think about it, outsiders don’t know what it is used for, so how can they know its value?
He Shan nodded solemnly.
"Okay, I understand. I will definitely not tell anyone else but my mother and Hu Ge'er."
"Grandma, when we return to the capital, I will give this clock to Hu Ge'er, okay? Hu Ge'er can't leave his room every day, and he feels so lonely."
Aunt Su touched He Shan's little head and said, "No need, this is for you. I'll prepare something else for Hu Ge'er."
