After the New Year's feast, everyone has to go back to the house to celebrate the New Year.

According to the practice of previous years, Jiang Pengji either went back to sleep alone or accompanied Liu Zhao to keep the New Year, but this year is slightly different. Liu She and Gu Zhen are both there, and as a daughter, she should accompany the second elder. However, Jiang Pengji and Liu She both had a showdown, and she didn't want to face Liu She on such a beautiful day, so she continued to stage a fake drama of father and daughter filial piety to outsiders, so she simply said that she was unwell and avoided it.

Gu Zhen frowned when she heard this, and asked, "Where is the Lan Pavilion uncomfortable, have you called Lang Zhong to take a look?"

Where does the servant know, he can only be vague.

Liu She, who was sitting at the top, raised her eyebrows lightly and said indifferently, "Lanting's identity is different from the past, since she is unwell, let her rest." ”

Keeping the New Year is just a dispensable form, and Jiang Pengji can't be cultivated for the sake of this matter.

Gu Zhen saw that Liu She had spoken, so she could only swallow her words back.

"I'm glad that Sister didn't come, if she did, I don't know how ugly this scene would be. ”

Liu Zhao was dressed in exquisite clothes, and since he got married, he looked much more mature, but he still looked like a white and tender rich idler.

Whoever looks at him must always say "gentle and harmless".

"What are you talking about? If people listen to it, it will be embarrassing for no reason. ”

Liu Zhao's wife looked still a little immature, and her every move was steady and polite. Hearing her husband muttering in private, she reminded her lightly. The two have been married for a while, and Liu Zhao has a gentle temperament and is accommodating, so the couple has a good run-in.

"Isn't this a pity for the two cousins—it was a happy day, but the whole family was uncomfortable. ”

Liu Zhao glanced at the two actual cousins with his spare eyes, and sighed secretly in his heart.

Meng Heng and Nie Xun, the two brothers in distress, were also unlucky, and they were supposed to stay at home to accompany their wives and children to celebrate the New Year.

Unexpectedly, Gu Zhen had a whim, and hoped that the two could bring their families to accompany her, and they called it "enjoying the joy of family".

Can you refuse?

No refusal!

Don't look at Liu Zhao as a thoroughly rich idler, but his brain is not stupid, and he can see it secretly.

From his point of view, these two sons and Gu Zhen are separated from their hearts, she is so strong, she will only push people away.

Is this the mother desperate to make up for her two sons?

Liu Zhao laughed inwardly, his titular stepmother and actual aunt would never be so affectionate.

Liu Xi, who has been raising for 12 years, said that he would give up, and turned his head to choose the current Jiang Pengji. In this way, the eldest son, who has almost no contact, and the younger son, who has been missing for more than 20 years, have a little weight in Gu Zhen's heart? Such a desperate desire to make up for the relationship is more like wanting to cover up! Borrowing the mother's natural and powerful identity to force the son to obey her, and then satisfy the inner weakness and guilt.

Liu Zhao seems to be gentle and harmless, but in his heart he is not stingy to speculate on people with the darkest thoughts.

The family happily gathers together to celebrate the New Year, which is called family happiness.

A group of people look at each other and are speechless, which is called hurting each other.

On Chinese New Year's Eve this year, Meng Heng and Nie Xun's two families had a good time, and finally used the child as an excuse to leave the scene early.

Jiang Pengji's side is a completely different style of painting.

"Speaking of which, this is the first time to keep the New Year alone with Zixiao. ”

Jiang Pengji, who was "unwell", refused to leave at Wei Ci's house at this time, looking at her vigorous appearance, how could she look a little uncomfortable? Wei Ci did not answer, raised her hand and pushed the preserved fruit she liked to eat to her, with a faint smile on the corner of her lips.

"By the way, the gift I gave Zixiao, have you opened it and seen it?"

Wei Ci said, "It hasn't been demolished yet." ”

Jiang Pengji raised her cheeks and said, "Then you can take it apart now." ”

Wei Ci laughed and said, "How can anyone open a gift in front of the master's family?"

Jiang Pengji squeezed her eyes at him, her eyes were deep and bright under the candlelight, "According to the relationship between you and me, this faux pas is more like fun." ”

Wei Ci couldn't resist her, so he could only take out a boxy crimson box from his sleeve. The box was wrapped in an unknown material, and the skin was soft and delicate to the touch, and Rao was so knowledgeable that he couldn't recognize what kind of animal it was.

He opened it gently under the gaze of Jiang Pengji's scorching gaze.

Under the candlelight, two dazzling white lights are reflected, which is extremely dazzling and beautiful.

"This is a ring?"

When Wei Ci took a closer look, he realized that the white light came from the jewelry engraved on the surface of the ring.

As far as he knew, this glittering thing was the "King Kong" that had been passed down to the Central Plains from a distant country in the West.

"I heard that the hardness of gold is rare in the world, and steel and bronze cannot be damaged by half a cent...... The surface of the object is smooth, and the facets seem to be arranged regularly, not like it is naturally formed. Does the lord know who made this thing, and how can he make it look like this!"

Jiang Pengji said, "A pair of diamond rings, just like you and me." ”

She can't give Wei Ci a name, let alone tell the world, which is a pity for Wei Ci, who is deeply educated in ancient orthodoxy.

Ask yourself, I guess I didn't expect this layer in Wei Ci's life.

Now that I realized it, I had to do something about it.

"Diamond ring?"

Puzzled, Wei Ci took out the two rings and found that the two rings were different sizes.

"I secretly measured the thickness of your fingers to customize. Jiang Pengji said, "I'll help you put it on?"

Thanks to the old chief, otherwise Jiang Pengji could only find a goldsmith in this world to make a pair.

Wei Ci said reservedly, "I'm tired of the lord." ”

Jiang Pengji put it on him, and with satisfaction, she stretched out her hand and motioned for him to put the lady ring on herself.

Pure gold is soft and easy to deform after wearing it for a long time, but diamond rings do not have this concern.

In this regard, the old chief also mocked her.

Because in Jiang Pengji's time, diamonds were indeed very cheap raw materials for jewelry, even if it was hard, it was useless.

However, Jiang Pengji does not want the value of the diamond itself, she wants the meaning that people give to the diamond.

In the plane of salted fish, you have to buy a diamond ring when you get married, and Jiang Pengji naturally follows the trend.

"It's hard and won't deform when worn for a long time – it never changes. ”

Wei Ci heard that something was wrong, and he only felt that his heart was in turmoil, and his face was red.

Jiang Pengji reminded him, "Zixiao, look, there's still one thing in the box." ”

Wei Ci was embarrassed and took out the contents of it.

"What is this?"

It's boxy, soft and cold.

When I flicked my fingers, I found that it was a two-layer structure, and there was a circle of round objects in the middle layer.

He was wondering when the lord had come around behind him, exhaling in his ear, his white and delicate hands sliding like nimble snakes to his neck and collarbone. This posture frightened Wei Ci and didn't dare to move.

"The night is long, Zixiao knows that we have wasted thousands of gold at this time?"
