2131 A thoughtful gift
The Grand Empress Dowager had personally come to the princess residence to visit her third aunt. When she saw the pair of little babies that looked exactly the same, the Grand Empress Dowager cried.
She thought of her children from decades ago.
She felt that this pair of babies were very similar to the pair of children she had given birth to.
“Mother,” Grandma Gu patted the Empress Dowager’s back.
“I’m fine, I’m fine.” The Empress Dowager wiped the corners of her eyes.
Grandma Gu knew that the old lady didn’t have such a big reaction when the second daughter-in-law gave birth to twins, because the twins looked like the second daughter-in-law.
And the pair that third brother gave birth to was like third brother.
Since third brother looked like brother Chuan, the old lady might have really thought of her own children.
The Empress Dowager had given the two children many things. She had asked people to move a small half of the things in her warehouse to third aunt Gu.
That night, third aunt sighed to her third uncle.”My family’s daughters are really popular! Look at my eldest brother, second brother, and fourth brother. They’re not as popular as I am! The last time cousin dugu came to the capital, according to my mother, she had moved almost half of the storeroom. Why do you think my life is so good?”
Third uncle couldn’t help but laugh. if you put it this way, then wouldn’t my life be even better?!
Third aunt Gu also laughed.
Both of them had no ambition and were good for nothing. They just wanted to be rich people in peace, but they didn’t expect to get so much.
Third aunt Gu continued,”this year is Royal grandmother’s eightieth birthday. What do you think we should give her?” Imperial grandmother doesn’t lack anything, but she is so good to me, so I feel bad giving her ordinary things.”
“That’s right,” third uncle nodded in agreement. However, what should we give? Royal grandmother has more gold, silver, and jewelry than we do. It’s not that you don’t have sincerity in your embroidery.”
Third aunt Gu thought for a moment and said,”why don’t I make a set of clothes for Imperial grandmother?” Imperial grandmother doesn’t have a daughter and only has me as a granddaughter. Although she doesn’t lack clothes, I will personally make one for her. This can be considered filial piety, right?”
Third uncle held third aunt’s hand. Linlin, Royal grandmother’s birthday is Dongyue’s. It’s almost may now, so there are only six months left. You’re still in confinement for one and a half months. It’s too rushed.
Third aunt pulled her hand out. I won’t. I haven’t worked for a long time. I also want to move. I heard that sisi has designed a lot of clothes, and second sister-in-law also has a lot of designs. I’ll go back to my mother’s house to take a look after my confinement. Maybe I can find some inspiration. I’ll make one for Imperial grandmother and embroider it myself. Have you forgotten that I’m very good at embroidery? Before I married you, I earned quite a bit of money with my embroidery.”
Third aunt Gu’s embroidery skills were indeed very good. When she was young, she went to the county’s embroidery room to learn. The original owner Gu Nian’s embroidery skills were good and the second branch did not have the money to send Gu Nian to learn. It was third aunt Gu who taught the original owner Gu Nian how to do embroidery.
With their current status, it was true that no matter how much money they spent to buy a gift, it would not be as good as a gift made by themselves.
Now, even if Gu si were to make a set of clothes for the Empress Dowager, it wouldn’t matter if third aunt Gu made another set. The Empress Dowager would definitely not mind.
So, third aunt Gu decided that she would definitely embroider a full set for the old lady so that the old lady could show off to the other wives. Her granddaughter was so considerate!
