Chapter 574: Chapter 292: Pursuit_3

To enjoy such a comfortable, pleasant day, one must visit their daughter’s home. Although I have reconciled with my son, the delight of watching over my daughter’s family surpasses that feeling.

Of course, my daughter’s husband’s family must not be of too high a status, they must be hospitable, and I must have a thick skin, otherwise, how could I enter my daughter’s home as if it were my own backyard.

After the Plum Appreciation Banquet, Prince Consort Pan realized that he had underestimated his granddaughter. She was truly a genius without precedent. Now, after listening to the stories she told, this realization became even stronger. The granddaughter turned dozens of references into an exciting opera.

Sir Lin was right, it’s all about the inheritance of bloodlines.

This granddaughter is truly wonderful; she resembles me and is as intelligent as me, and most importantly, she is close to my heart.

Qian Yixiu was pestered into telling three stories in one breath. When asked to continue, she refused, saying, "Sister’s mouth is dry, I need to drink some water, and you should get off the ground and move around as well."

Pan Yue heard this and stood up to hand her daughter the water.

Prince Consort Pan was happy inside but still playfully scolded his granddaughter, "You little rascal, you think too much. The elders do this for your future, so you won’t suffer."

Qian Yixiu smiled and nuzzled into Old Master Pan’s arm sweetly saying, "I know Grandpa is looking out for me; I made clothes specially for you, Grandpa, to show my respect."

Old Master Pan extremely enjoyed the affection and playfulness of his granddaughter, and a smile blossomed on his otherwise stern face. Still holding the elder’s dignity, he said, "Although we are on break now, you should still complete the homework Grandpa has given you on time."

After showing affection to his eldest granddaughter, he went to cuddle his younger granddaughter. Jingjing twisted her body and ran to lean against Pan Yue’s legs, puckering her lip and saying, "Mother doesn’t like it, so Jingjing doesn’t like it either."

Prince Consort Pan helplessly looked at the two pouting figures before him, knowing he still had to put in more effort. The day they could smile at him would be the day he could die content.

Prince Consort Pan had lunch at Xiangxue Courtyard with his two granddaughters before they all returned home. They actually wanted to stay for dinner as well, but it would have been impolite to overstay their welcome.

In the afternoon, after a rest, Qian Yixiu went to the main compound. With the New Year approaching, there were still many matters at home unattended, so she needed to discuss them with Grandfather Sangui.

Wong Shou was in a side room, reporting to Qian Sangui about matters. The Liang Family, Eldest Taifeng Princess Mansion, and Libationer Lin Mansion had sent New Year’s gifts that morning, asking what should be given in return.

It made sense that the Liang Family would send gifts, given their past relationship and perhaps their wish to mend the engagement. But these other two families had no prior dealings with the Qian family, and their gifts were puzzling.

The New Year’s gifts from the household should have been sent out a few days ago, but due to the incident with Qian Yixiu, the family wasn’t in the mood, so they hadn’t sent them yet. Gifts from Prince Ning Mansion, Pan Mansion, and Wan Mansion had been received a few days earlier.

Seeing his granddaughter arrive, Qian Sangui waved her over, inviting her to sit on the warm Kang bed. After inquiring about her health, they began to discuss further.

Qian Yixiu expressed that since their own Golden Lotus Roots, especially the Number One Golden Lotus Roots, were very popular and not easy to come by on the market, they should send more of those along with Li and Sons’ cured meats and sausages. Of course, this excluded the Wan family and Liang family, who did not lack these things.

The New Year’s gift for the Pan Mansion should match the approximate value of what they sent and include high-grade Liancourt Cosmetic products, as the Pan family members, young and old, both male and female, were fond of beauty. This included three sets of top-grade cardamom in chicken-wing wood carved boxes, specifically for Old Great-grandpa Pan, Madame Tai, and Prince Consort Pan.

The gift for Prince Ning Mansion should exceed the value of what they sent and, in addition to the necessary New Year’s gift ingredients, wines, and fabric, include a set of top-grade cardamom in a red gold gift box and ten sets of high-grade cardamom. A telescope, a pocket watch, and two exotic ivory carving ornaments were also sent. These items could be used by them or could easily be sold for a few thousand taels of silver if need be.

The Wan Mansion, being related by marriage, had sent a fairly ordinary New Year’s gift, so in addition to sending a gift of equivalent value, they also sent ten sets of high-grade cardamom.

Because of the Empress Dowager, gifts had to be sent to the Fu family. The head of the Fu family was Marquis Wangping, who also held the position of Left Vice Minister of Revenue. The New Year’s gift sent to his family was similar to that sent to the Pan family.

Qian Yixiu looked over the list of New Year’s gifts from Eldest Taifeng Princess Mansion and Libationer Lin’s family. Eldest Princess Mansion’s gifts primarily consisted of valuable fabrics, the total value of which was about the same as what the Pan family had sent, which was quite generous. The gifts from the Lin family were more ordinary, with the majority being foodstuffs and wine.

Their gifts in return should be of a value equivalent to those received. For Eldest Princess Mansion, it would be similar to what was given to Pan Mansion, but since their household was smaller, less cardamom would be sent, with the addition of two rubies and two pounds of foreign incense.
