Chapter 57 Tribute Silk

"Clothes?" Lin Shuran looked at the dark blue silk jacket with embroidered auspicious cloud patterns that Xu Minghao was wearing in confusion. It was the new clothes that she had asked the embroiderer in the house to make for Xu Minghao and the others two days ago. "Clothes?"

What's wrong?"

"Mother, tell me quickly, where did these clothes come from?" Xu Minghao pulled at the clothes on his body and sounded even more anxious.

"Of course it was made by the embroiderer in the mansion!" Lin Shuran looked at him with confusion.

"The fabric is also from the house?" Seeing Lin Shuran nodding, Xu Minghao asked again, "Then is this fabric bought from outside?"

Lin Shuran didn't understand why Xu Minghao kept asking about clothes and fabrics after he came out of prison, so she told him that the fabric he was wearing was a gift from the palace when she got married. She thought the color and texture of the fabric were good.

, and asked the embroiderer to make new clothes for them.

"Rewarded by the palace?" Xu Minghao sat down beside him somewhat numbly and murmured, "But just now Xiao Huzi said that the man who killed the Luo girl was wearing clothes made of this kind of fabric."

What?! Lin Shuran took another look at Xu Minghao's clothes. She just felt that the fabric felt very good, and it must be good for making clothes for children. Besides, it was rewarded by the palace, so it must be of high quality.

"Can Xiaohuzi be sure about this?" The fabrics given by the palace were probably difficult for ordinary people to buy, but she didn't know much about fabrics, so she had to find someone knowledgeable to ask.

Xu Minghao told Lin Shuran that he had just happily gone to see Xiao Huzi, but as soon as Xiao Huzi saw the clothes he was wearing, he was so frightened that he hid in the corner. Finally, he whispered to him that what he saw on the day Luo Juanjuan died was unthinkable.

When she got up, a man wearing the same clothes as Xu Minghao killed her, but he didn't see the other person's face clearly, only the corners of his clothes.

So, Lin Shuran took Xu Minghao to Yunjin Pavilion, the largest Buzhuang in the capital. Unexpectedly, as soon as they stepped in, the shopkeeper of Yunjin Pavilion greeted them personally with a smile, with a cautious expression on his face, fearing that he would not be well received.

The first butler quickly reached out to take it and replied with a smile: "I have a favor for you, butler. Why don't you go with me to see my wife and bring this snack with you so that my wife can have a taste of Mrs. Xu's craftsmanship?"

"It looks so good!" Lei Yingying couldn't help but take a piece and put it in her mouth. "Well, it tastes even better. I didn't expect Sister Ran to be so good at cooking!"

Hearing what the shopkeeper said, Lin Shuran pursed her lips and smiled. She also looked at Xu Minghao's clothes and asked deliberately: "Is there something special about these clothes?"

At the same time, Xu Mingchen also took the New Year's gift to the Lin family according to the etiquette, and then went to the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion. Because Lei Yingying and his wife were currently living in the Duke's Mansion, the New Year's gift to them was also delivered.

Zhen Guo Gongfu.

The Zhenguo Duke's Mansion also sent people out to greet him early, and did not treat Xu Mingchen lightly just because he was a twelve-year-old child. His son Lei Zhanpeng happened to be in the mansion as well. He felt the Xu family's kindness in saving his son's life, and he also personally

Met Xu Mingchen.

So, Xu An came to Yang's courtyard with the snack box. When he learned that the snacks were made by Lin Shuran himself, Yang was moved and surprised. Normally, every government would send New Year's gifts during the New Year, but how could the owner's mother cook it herself?

Everything they do is purchased from outside the government, and everyone is rich or poor.

"Madam, young master, please invite me to the private room upstairs!" The shopkeeper's respectful tone made Lin Shuran feel strange, so she asked him if he knew her. The shopkeeper shook his head hurriedly, glanced at Xu Minghao meaningfully, and replied with a smile,

"I am ignorant, but I wonder which family the madam belongs to? Just by looking at the young master's clothes, I can tell that both the madam and the young master have extraordinary backgrounds."

"Mom, I heard that Sister Ran sent me a New Year gift!" Lei Yingying smiled and walked into the hall where Mr. Yang was. As soon as she entered, she smelled a special smell of sweet food. She couldn't help but take two steps quickly.

, behind her is her husband Du Sheng, who is also holding her two-year-old son Du Yuan in his arms, "It smells so good, Mom, what good things have you hidden?!"

Xu An handed the gift list to the butler of the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion, and at the same time told him: "Butler, these snacks and gluttonous snacks are cooked by my wife herself. They are very suitable for the elderly and children in the house.

In addition, there are a few things that the young master at home cannot eat. They are all clearly written on the list. My wife said that there are no rare items and they are all made by myself. Please give them a try."

However, Lei Yan and Xu Mingchen were similar in age and had similar interests, so Lei Zhanpeng asked Lei Yan to receive him. As for the New Year's gift from the Xu family, he also asked the housekeeper to keep it.

Lin Shuran didn't know that this fabric was so rare. She didn't stay in Yunjin Pavilion for too long before she took Xu Minghao back to her house. On the way, Lin Shuran asked Xu Minghao not to talk about it to others.

"Madam is joking, the clothes on the young master are not something that everyone can wear!" The shopkeeper thought that Lin Shuran was deliberately testing him, "This is the tribute silk and satin from Qingyun Chuxiu. Only the royal children and those who are rewarded by the emperor can have it.

, most people can’t wear it even if they want to.”

Seeing that Lei Yingying's family of three happened to arrive, Ms. Yang smiled and pointed at the food box and said: "This is a New Year's gift snack sent by the Xu family. It was made by your sister Ran. Look how beautiful this snack is."

, I have never seen such exquisite and beautiful dim sum.”

The New Year's Eve gift sent by the Xu family did not contain any expensive jewelry, calligraphy, paintings, or rare items. Most of it was mainly about food and drink. However, looking at the gift list from the Xu family, Yang's eyes flashed with confusion. It was really...

There were many names on this gift list that she had never heard of.

And when Mrs. Yang opened the snack box as a New Year gift from Lin Shuran, she was even more surprised. There were seven kinds of round cakes of different colors inside. As soon as the box was opened, the aroma was so fragrant that it attracted greedy people.

Lei Yan happened to be visiting Lei Haobai at the Zhenguogong Mansion today. When he learned that Xu Mingchen was here to send New Year gifts, he immediately ran out to greet him. A few days ago, he and Xu Mingchen were giving porridge to the people outside the city. The relationship between the two people became even more intense.

Intimate.

"Mom, mother, Brother Yuan wants it too, Brother Yuan wants it too!" Du Yuan, the snack guy, couldn't help but jump off Du Sheng. His big round eyes had been fixed on the snacks and couldn't move away.

.

"It's delicious, it's delicious!" Du Yuan ate in his mouth and held it in his hand, staring at the rest in the food box. His greedy look made the Yang family laugh heartily.

At this time, Lei Yan also brought Xu Mingchen to present the gift to Mr. Yang. When he saw the delicious food, he was not polite. After hearing that he praised the delicious snacks sent by the Xu family, he also heard that there was something in the New Year's plate gift sent by the Xu family.

There were all kinds of cooked meats and sauces, and I shamelessly asked Mr. Yang for them, saying that I would take a cart home.

Seeing the scene of the Lei family laughing together, Xu Mingchen's eyes showed envy. If his biological father and mother were still alive and he was not kicked out of his original home, maybe he could have such a scene.
