Chapter 138 Is This What You Can Call?

Everyone turned their heads and left after hearing the voice.

Mother Su held a tray in her hands, which was covered with a red cloth. She held her chest high, like a proud hen.

Facing everyone's gaze, she walked up to Gu Yunyao privately and said loudly: "Master Yongning County, what do you think this is?"

Gu Yunyao looked at the outline covered by the red cloth and was immediately surprised: "Could this be a congratulatory gift from the prince?"

"That's right!" Mother Su said proudly, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent someone to give my Wan Ning a wedding gift. I heard it cost 20,000 taels of silver. Looking at the capital, it is definitely the only gift!"

There were shouts of exclamation in the crowd, and everyone's eyes were shining.

It was a gift from the prince, twenty thousand taels, the only one in the capital. These words stimulated their nerves.

"Mrs. Su, let us take a look?"

"Yeah, look what this thing looks like?"

Mother Su's eyes were full of joy: "Why don't we play a game? You guess it, and see who can guess it correctly, and then let the other person touch it."

As soon as these words were spoken, several ladies frowned slightly.

Touch it? This is too dismissive.

Gu Yunyao touched her chin: "I, the County Lord, will take a guess first."

Su Wanning chuckled: "I heard that Yongning County Lord's life at home was not very good. I'm afraid he didn't see anything good, right? Can you guess?"

"Alas, no matter how bad this county lord is, he is still from the capital. The concubine of the General's Mansion did not grow up in the countryside. She lived by embroidery and mending, and had to deal with rags all day long.

Besides, I have just received a small gift from King Qin, so I have seen some good things before."

Su Wanning was so angry that her face was livid, and the ladies who had a crush on King Qin felt even more sour.

Mother Su curled her lips: "Then take a guess!"

Just as Gu Yunyao was about to speak, Mother Su said, "Hold on, let's talk first. If you guess wrong, please leave."

"Okay," Gu Yunyao said calmly, "Looking at the outline, it should be a small box. This box is different from ordinary wooden boxes. It should be made of other materials. It has no carved patterns and has a smooth surface. It looks more like a painted pattern."

She took a breath and said, "The things in the box should be scented. If the box is good, the contents will not be bad either.

Su Tan has outstanding literary talent, and the gift from His Highness the Prince should be related to the Four Treasures of the Study. What this small box can hold is paper."

Su Wan Ning was startled, and Su's mother's proud expression was also frozen.

"Paper? What's the use of such small paper?"

"That's right, the gift His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave to Miss Su is naturally for women. Just because Su Tanhua has literary talent, if he gives her the Four Treasures of the Study, doesn't that mean she is giving a gift to Su Tanhua?"

Gu Yunyao said with a smile: "This lady is smart and hits the point."

"What?"

Those who responded quickly kept their mouths shut and remained silent.

But no, the prince is here just for Su Tanhua, otherwise why would he give Su Wanning a congratulatory gift?

Su Wan Ning's face was burning.

Gu Yunyao said to Su's mother: "Mrs. Su, please reveal the answer and see if my guess is correct."

Mother Su had no choice but to lift the red cloth.

Under the red cloth is the tin box of White Rabbit toffee.

Everyone looked carefully and looked at each other.

"Open it!" Gu Yunyao urged.

Mother Su opened the lid of the box and took out a few pieces of wrapping paper: "Everyone, please close your eyes. This piece of paper is worth two thousand taels!"

When the wrapping paper is held up to the light, it's colorful, let alone whistling, it's really good.

"It's indeed paper..."

"It also has a sweet smell."

"Of course, this paper is called colorful glazed incense paper!" Mother Su said loudly.

Gu Yunyao pursed her lips hard to hold back her laughter.

Mother Su glanced at her and said with a charitable expression: "Your guess is quite right, let me touch it!"

Gu Yunyao waved her hand: "No need."

"You don't touch this yourself," Mrs. Su put the paper back again, fearing that Gu Yunyao would regret it.

"Before I went out today, my hands had just touched something given by His Highness King Qin. If I touch this paper again, it will inevitably be contaminated with the smell," Gu Yunyao said with a smile, "I don't want to touch it."

Mother Su's face changed slightly: "You actually look down upon the things His Highness the Crown Prince sent?"

"This thing is given to you. You can afford it. Why do you have to ask others to appreciate it too?" Gu Yunyao disagreed.

"Oh, this is a great crime of disrespect!"

"Mrs. Su, if you don't know the rules, learn them well. This is a gift from the Crown Prince to congratulate Miss Su on becoming his concubine, not a gift from the Emperor."

"Gu Yunyao!" someone shouted, "Who told you to be so presumptuous? Don't think that just because you have climbed onto Brother Munan, you can do whatever you want!"

Gu Yunyao turned around and saw Shen Shenchen coming in fiercely.

Mother Su quickly stepped forward: "Ah, Princess, you are here too, please come quickly!

Some people can be extremely arrogant just because they are the head of a county. You are the head of a county, so you have to suppress them."

Shen Shenchen's face turned blue, and Gu Yunyao looked at it with a smile.

Su Wanning stepped forward and saluted: "I have met the princess!"

Shen Shenchen's face turned even darker.

"Gu Yunyao, did you hear me talking to you?

You'd better restrain yourself, don't talk nonsense outside, do random things, and ruin brother Munan's reputation!"

Gu Yunyao adjusted her sleeves: "Shen Shenchen, please bow to the county lord first before speaking!

Otherwise, the county master will still be able to help teach you a lesson, but that is not called arrogance, nor is it called doing anything wrong, it is called taking it for granted."

"Also," she took a step forward, "from now on, I will arrange a gatekeeper, Brother Munan...is that what you call him?

Don't you think it's disgusting, but I still have dirty ears. That's my fiancé, why are you so affectionate?"

"you……"

"Salute!" Gu Yunyao interrupted her.

Mother Su's eyes widened: "Are you crazy? I am the princess of the county, and I am saluting you as the princess of the county?"

Gu Yunyao gave a short laugh: "Thank you for always talking about the prince. Why didn't the prince tell you that Shen Shenchen had been deprived of his position as princess?"

"What?"

Su's mother was stunned, and Su Wanning was also stunned, feeling a little happy in her heart.

It turns out that she was not the only one who had her account taken away!

Shen Shenchen became angry: "It's not because of you, Gu Yunyao!

Let me tell you, you won’t be arrogant for long, Brother Munan will not be deceived by you all the time, I will definitely expose your true face.”

Everyone looked at Gu Yunyao in surprise. Was it because of her that Princess Sichen was deprived of her title?

This...does she actually have such great abilities?

You know, Shen Shenchen is Concubine Yun's niece and the prince's cousin.

Su Wan Ning was a little unhappy. She was the one who had a happy event today, but she was robbed of the limelight one after another.

"County Lord, you have also seen that you are not welcome here, so leave quickly."

Gu Yunyao was about to speak when Shen Munan's voice sounded in the yard: "Ayao, come out."

Shen Shenchen heard the voice and hurriedly supported Fa Chai and walked out, squeezing Gu Yunyao behind.

Gu Yunyao stepped on the hem of her skirt with her toes, causing her to lose her balance and fall forward.

"ah!"
