Chapter 113 Coming-of-Age Gifts from Senior Brothers

"Xiao Jiu's coming-of-age tea tastes better than the other teas," Consort Jiang said with a smile, looking at Luo Chu Jiu.

“If you like it, Cousin Kui Kui, I’ll make you tea every day after you give birth. But you can’t drink too much tea now that you’re pregnant.”

"I am aware of this; I usually pay attention to these things."

"That's good. After Cousin Kui Kui's baby is born, can you recognize me as your godmother?"

Luo Chujiu directly asked Consort Jiang for this benefit.

Upon hearing this, Consort Jiang covered her mouth and laughed, then looked at Xiao Jinglin:

"You can't ask me that; you'll have to ask His Majesty to see if he agrees."

Then Luo Chujiu looked at Xiao Jinglin:

"Your Majesty, is it possible?"

"Even my child will have to call you 'aunt' when he's born. You want to be his godmother? How will he address you then?"

Xiao Jinglin chuckled lightly, offering no objection, but simply asked this question.

Upon hearing this, Luo Chu belatedly realized that since Xiao Beiming and Xiao Jinglin were nominally brothers, the child born to Consort Jiang would have to call Xiao Beiming "Imperial Uncle," and thus she would naturally be his aunt.

"Then forget it. My godmother doesn't seem as close as my aunt."

It only took Luo Chujiu a few seconds to go from learning to giving up.

Upon hearing this, everyone laughed.

Seeing that it was about time, Xiao Jinglin took Consort Jiang back to the palace, since she was pregnant and it was not advisable for her to stay outside for too long.

Luo Chujiu expressed her understanding, and all the guests watched the distinguished guest leave before continuing their meal.

During the event, many people who had attended two different coming-of-age ceremonies felt that the one held at the Imperial Preceptor's residence was the grandest and most spectacular, as it even invited His Majesty and the Imperial Concubine.

In comparison, the coming-of-age ceremony of the second young lady of the Luo family seemed much more shabby. It lacked proper etiquette and had no distinguished guests, making it incomparable to that of the eldest young lady of the Luo family.

Meanwhile, the entire Luo family learned that Luo Chujiu was holding her coming-of-age ceremony today, but they did not invite any member of the Luo family to attend.

Upon learning of this, Lady Luo was extremely ashamed and angry!
"This wretched child! He didn't even invite his parents to his coming-of-age ceremony; this is utterly unfilial!"

When Luo Jiangshi said this, she completely forgot that Luo Chujiu had already severed ties with the Luo family.

Since relations have been severed, there's no need to invite the Luo family to the ceremony.

"Cousin, there's no need to be angry. Luo Chujiu has already severed ties with the Luo family. Even if she invites people from the Luo family, no one from the Luo family will go to avoid suspicion. She's probably afraid of being rejected, which is why she doesn't invite anyone from the Luo family."

Seeing that Luo Jiang was so angry, Wu Xing could only try to comfort her.

"Hmph, whether I go or not is my business, but if she doesn't invite me, then she's being impolite! And the Imperial Advisor is really something, if Luo Chujiu doesn't understand etiquette, doesn't he understand it too?"

Now, everyone in the capital must be laughing at the Luo family!

She was clearly Luo Chujiu's birth mother, so why did she let Consort Jiang give her hairpins? Was she dead?
Speaking of Consort Jiang, Lady Luo Jiang felt angry. She was clearly her niece, but she was not close to her at all, and instead got close to that wretched child! Everyone was trying to make things difficult for her!
"If my cousin is really angry, I'll help her vent her anger and find a way to deal with Luo Chujiu, okay?"

Wu Xing looked at Luo Jiangshi with a fawning expression.

"Oh? What good idea do you have now?" "I have plenty of ideas, but just like last time, I need something close to her body as a trigger, otherwise it won't work." Wu Xing smiled, his eyes full of cunning.

“That’s easy. I have a lot of things she wore and used when she was just born. Just take any one of them.”

When Luo Jiangshi heard that Wu Xing had a way to deal with Luo Chujiu, she was happy and immediately went back to her room to get something.

To everyone's surprise, when they returned to the house and searched through the wooden box that contained many of Luo Chujiu's things, they found that everything inside had vanished!
Lady Luo was furious and questioned her personal maids, but the maids were unaware of the situation and said they had never touched anything belonging to the lady.

"Get out, get out of here!"

After Lady Luo dismissed all the maids, Wu Xing approached and revealed his guess:

"Cousin, it must have been Luo Chujiu who stole the things. She probably found out about our witchcraft last time, and she probably guessed what method we used, so she stole these things when no one was paying attention."

Wu Xing's analysis was basically correct, but Lady Luo Jiang was furious. She hadn't expected that the plan would fail before it even began! How could she let it go?
Seeing this, Wu Xing had nothing more to say. If his cousin was angry, so be it, but it seemed there was nothing else he could do besides get angry.

Meanwhile, Luo Chujiu's coming-of-age ceremony was drawing to a close, with Nalan Qingyin and the others standing at the door to see off the guests.

After all the guests had left, Luo Chujiu sat in the courtyard and began to unpack her coming-of-age ceremony.

You know what, the gifts these powerful and influential people in the capital sent were quite strange and unusual, but most of them were still gold, silver, jewelry and the like.

After looking at them all, the coming-of-age gift from Xiao Beiming was still the most thoughtful.

"By the way, senior brothers, where are your coming-of-age ceremonies? I want to see mine!"

Luo Chujiu looked at her four senior brothers with great excitement, wanting to know what they had given her.

"Haha, Xiao Jiu, are you in such a hurry? Never mind, your senior brother has prepared a set of sandalwood brushes for you, and this inkstone is also a purple gold inkstone, which is very precious. If Xiao Jiu uses this brush and inkstone to draw talismans, he will definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort."

As Kong Xianling spoke, he directly gave the gift to Luo Chujiu, who was very happy to see it.

"Thank you, senior brother. I really like this coming-of-age ceremony."

"Next, Second Senior Brother will give Xiao Jiu a gift. Open it and see what it is."

Ao Yuan handed Luo Chujiu a long box and asked her to open it and take a look.

Luo Chujiu opened the box and found a long whip with a yellow handle!

"whip!"

"That's right. The handle of this whip is inlaid with yellow gemstones, and the core of the whip is made of dragon bone stone, which is tough and not easy to break, but it hurts a lot when it hits a person."

Ao Yuan was a rough and uncultured man, and didn't know what to give as a gift, so he could only give Luo Chujiu some items that she could use for self-defense.

"Thank you, Second Senior Brother! I will definitely carry this whip with me at all times!"

Luo Chujiu thought that she might find a set of whip techniques to practice, and she couldn't let her second senior brother's good intentions go to waste.

"Ahem, now it's my turn. This is for you, Xiao Jiu, open it and take a look."

Luo Chujiu could roughly guess what Fuheng was giving her. Her third senior brother was all about money, so she figured he would give her something very extravagant.

Then I opened the big box and sure enough, it was true!
