"What is this?"

After getting on her carriage, Daohua pointed to the jewelry box in Mrs. Li's arms and asked.

Mrs. Li looked at her daughter in surprise: "You don't know?"

Daohua shook her head.

Mrs. Li put the jewelry box on Daohua's lap: "The young prince asked Young Master Zhou to send this, saying it is a lucky draw for you."

Daohua looked happy: "Xiao Yeyang is not cheating!" As she said that, she couldn't wait to open the box, and immediately, a whole set of pearl heads and faces came into view.

"So beautiful!" Yan Yihuan couldn't help but admire.

Even Mrs. Li, who has seen a lot of tidying up, her eyes lit up.

This set of pearl headbands is exquisitely made and is just right for a teenage girl to wear. It took Defu a long time to find this one.

Daohua picked up one of the butterfly hairpins made of pearls the size of rice grains and exclaimed: "The workmanship is so exquisite." The butterfly was so lifelike that it was about to spread its wings.

Mrs. Li smiled and said: "When you attend various gatherings in the future, you will have a headdress to wear." Her daughter doesn't have much jewelry, because there are many places to spend money at home, so she can't buy more.

Daohua nodded, catching Yan Yi's envious gaze from the corner of her eye, and handed the jewelry box over with a smile: "Second sister, choose one."

Because it is for little girls, the whole set has many hair styles. Daohua has four butterfly hairpins in her hand, not counting the various flower-shaped hairpins.

Yan Yihuan waved her hands repeatedly: "How can I take what the young prince gave to my eldest sister?"

Daohua: "It doesn't matter, there are a lot of them anyway."

Seeing that Yan Yihuan still refused to choose, Daohua thought for a while and directly inserted the butterfly hairpin in her hand into her bun.

"There are exactly four butterflies, one for each of our four sisters."

Mrs. Li sat aside and did not participate in the distribution of rice flowers. She was happy to see her daughter's generosity and was even more satisfied with her final distribution.

This time, she didn't bring Yi Shuang or Yile. No matter how good her reasons were, there would still be people in the family who were dissatisfied. Now her daughter has won a whole set of honors. If she doesn't give any of them to her three younger sisters, she should be punished.

Talk about protecting things.

"Thank you, big sister."

Yan Yihuan touched the butterfly hairpin on her head, her face was very happy.

"Why are you so polite!"

Daohua closed the jewelry box and handed it to Mrs. Li, asking her to help put it away.

Mrs. Li took the box and gave another purse to Daohua.

Daohua looked confused: "Mom, why did you give me my purse?"

Mrs. Li: "Before sailing, your third brother came over and said it was for you, but I didn't open it to see what it was."

Daohua became interested: "Is it the lucky number given by the third brother?"

As soon as the purse was opened, a golden pocket watch was revealed.

"Ah!"

If Daohua is happy to see the pearl-headed face, then it can be said to be a surprise to see the pocket watch.

She was just complaining about not being able to tell the time when she was out, but she didn’t expect a pocket watch to be delivered to her so quickly.

Yan Yihuan had never seen a pocket watch before and didn't know anything about it, while Mrs. Li's expression changed.

She has never seen this thing before, but she has heard of it. It is said to be a valuable tribute from foreign countries, and only the relatives of the emperor who appreciate it can have it.

This is not something Wen Tao can come up with!

Needless to say, it must be a gift from the young prince.

Daohua didn't think so much. She happily put the pocket watch around her neck, then opened the cover of the watch and looked at the time. She smiled and said to Mrs. Li: "Mom, it's three o'clock now (7:45 p.m.)."

Mrs. Li's face was a little stiff: "Can you put this thing away?"

Daohua also knew that the pocket watch could not be the third brother's, so she nodded with a smile: "It's okay, um...but I have to think about giving Xiao Yeyang some gifts in return."

As he spoke, he patted his head and said, "My chrysanthemum wine! I actually forgot about this. If I had known, I would have given it to Xiao Yeyang."

Hearing this, Mrs. Li's cheek twitched a few times.

The young prince will give you a valuable pocket watch, and just give your daughter a few bottles of chrysanthemum wine in return, okay?

Yan Yihuan asked curiously: "Sister, what is this?"

Daohua: "It depends on the time."

At this moment, Mrs. Qian's voice sounded outside the car.

"Sister Li, there is something wrong with our carriage. Can Bilan and I take your carriage back to Xingzhou City?"

Mrs. Li quickly raised the car curtain and said with a smile: "Of course, come up."

Mrs. Qian immediately took Qian Bilan into the carriage.

Daohua quickly sat next to Mrs. Li and gave up the seat on the left to Mrs. Qian and her daughter.

After climbing the mountain for a day, she was actually very tired. She originally wanted to rest in the carriage, but now that outsiders came, she had to cheer up again.

"Sister Yan, second sister Yan!" Qian Bilan greeted Daohua and Yan Yihuan after sitting down.

Mrs. Qian has already started chatting with Mrs. Li.

The eyes of mother and daughter fell on the butterfly hairpin on Yan Yihuan's head at the same time. As for the pocket watch on Daohua's neck, I'm sorry, they have never seen it before and thought it was a gold lock.

"Is this the gift the young prince gave to his sister?" Qian Bilan looked at Yan Yihuan enviously, "It's so beautiful."

Mrs. Qian also praised her, and her words were filled with Xiao Yeyang.

Daohua was actually very impatient with such social interactions, but she had to smile in response, otherwise, the next day, her reputation for looking down on people and being arrogant would spread throughout Xingzhou City.

Mrs. Li saw that her daughter's eyelids were fighting, so she had to try her best to shield her from Mrs. Qian's mother and daughter's questions.

By the time we returned to the backyard of the government office, it was completely dark, and Daohua was already very sleepy.

"Okay, I'll go to your grandmother's place and tell you, go back to your yard and sleep!" Mrs. Li summoned Wang Man'er and asked her to hold Daohua back to Daohuaxuan.

Daohua shook her head and said after yawning: "No, I've been out for a day, and my grandma didn't see me. She must be worried, and she won't miss it for a while."

In the old lady's yard, everyone in the Yan family did not leave after having dinner. They were all waiting for Mrs. Li and the others to come back.

Yan Zhigao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Mrs. Li coming back with Daohua and Yan Yihuan: "Why did you come back so late?"

Mrs. Li couldn't say that Mrs. Zhou had been making do with the young prince's time. She just smiled and said: "There were a lot of people going. When everyone was in high spirits, they came back late." After saying that, she pushed Daohua and Yan Yihuan out.<

/p>

"These two girls have been playing all day, and now they are very sleepy. Why don't you quickly send your grandmother a greeting so that she can go back to her room and rest."

The old lady had long seen the tired look on Daohua's face, but Yan Yihuan was in very good spirits: "Okay, okay, go back quickly, what are you doing for me!"

Daohua didn't force her to stay: "Grandma, I'm going to rest first and come over to talk to you tomorrow."

At this time, Yan Yile saw the butterfly hairpin on Yan Yihuan's head and exclaimed: "Second sister, where did you get the hairpin on your head?"

Daohua ignored Yan Yile's questions, bowed to the elders in the family, and left.

After Daohua left, Yan Yihuan smiled and said, "Big sister gave it to me."

Yan Yile immediately stepped forward: "I want it too, I want it too."

Yan Yishuang, who was sitting next to Yan Zhigao, also looked eager.

Mrs. Li smiled: "Okay, I have everything you need."

Yan Zhiyuan took over: "This hairpin is made of pearls. It looks quite expensive. Where did it come from?"

Mrs. Li: "In Xiangxia Mountain, we met the young prince, Daohua and Miss Zhou. We competed with the young prince to climb the mountain and won the lottery."

Yan Zhigao's expression perked up: "You also met the young prince?"
