Chapter 1290
two days later
The Yun family held a banquet, and although Shen Wan was given an invitation, Shen Wan did not go. She just asked Xiao Yi to send the wrapped inkstone over.
The Yun family was extremely lively today. From the master to the servants, everyone could not hide the smiles and pride on their faces. All kinds of relatives who originally looked down on Yun Luochuan started to praise him when they saw him. What kind of Wenqu star descended to earth! She is so talented and beautiful! She is so talented! She always picks up nice words to praise her.
Xiaoyi was led to Yun Luochuan by a young man from the Yun family.
"Mr. Yun, is this a gift from my wife to you?" Xiaoyi said, holding the inkstone with both hands.
"Aren't your wife and Zian here?" Yun Luochuan asked with a frown as he saw no one behind him.
Xiaoyi replied truthfully: "My wife is not feeling well today and cannot come in person, so I sent Xiaoyi to deliver the congratulatory gift."
"Really?" Yun Luochuan took the inkstone.
"Yes." Xiaoyi said, "The small gift has been delivered, so I will go back first."
After saying that, he bowed his hands to Yun Luochuan. When he nodded, he turned around and followed the boy out.
Yun Luochuan could feel that he was holding an inkstone in his hand. He returned to his yard, walked into his study, and unwrapped the flower paper.
It is a high-quality Duan inkstone, carved with exquisite bluegrass and exuding a faint fragrance of ink.
Yun Luochuan liked this gift very much. He removed the inkstone on the desk and placed the new inkstone on the desk.
He originally wanted to grind and write a poem with the ink from this new inkstone, but someone came and asked him to go to the front, saying that so and so was coming again.
So he went back to the front to entertain the guests. When the banquet was about to begin, Mrs. Yun saw that Shen Wan and her son did not come, so she did not ask any questions. After the banquet, she heard from Yun Luochuan that she was not feeling well today and therefore did not come. , but someone gave him an excellent Duan Inkstone as a gift.
After hearing this, Yun Changfeng said: "This Duan inkstone made by Master Lin costs hundreds of taels of silver at least! It is not easy for a woman to raise a child, so why do you give her such an expensive gift?"
Although a few hundred taels of silver is nothing to the Yun family, it is still a waste for Shen Wan, a widow with a son.
Wu said: "She may be afraid that this gift is too light and will be underestimated by our family. However, fortunately she is not feeling well today and did not come. If she came, it would not be good to attract people to gossip."
Although there is nothing wrong with Mrs. Shen and Luo Chuan, there have been such unpleasant rumors. If she comes and is seen by the guests, she will also gossip.
Hearing this, Yun Luochuan frowned. His mother's words made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Wu continued: "Actually, she doesn't have to pretend to be fat. It's not like we don't know what's going on in their family. We'll treat her the same if she doesn't give her enough gifts."
Although Mrs. Shen may have some money, she has nothing in Jiangzhou City now, can't do business, and has to raise a son. Isn't this just sitting on empty hands? Naturally, she has to save some money. .
Mrs. Yun nodded and said, "That's the point. I'll tell her if our two families are in contact, if it's a gift, you don't have to pick something expensive to give. It will be done as long as it comes to your mind."
