Chapter Twenty-Eight: Lu Shu's Sugar Gourd

This old lady is so funny!

Chang Di smiled, lowered his eyes, and gathered the contents of his sleeve. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

It was really a veritable family banquet, and it didn't invite the neighbors, and Chang Di felt a little embarrassed to be among them.

Xu Jiaojiao said: "Grandmother, I asked the best painter in the county to draw a statue of Guanyin sitting down for you, and my grandmother will take a look." ā€

Xu Jiaojiao stepped forward with the statue of Guanyin that had been prepared a long time ago and unfolded the painting on the table.

Mrs. Jiang smiled, "I like Jiaojiao's gift." ā€

Xu Jiaojiao sent a portrait of Guanyin, Jiang Shuyun sent a white marble Bodhisattva, and Mrs. Jiang hurriedly asked Mother Wen to put these two things on the Buddha platform in the middle and offer them with incense.

The second young master Jiang gave a ginseng, which was called the name of the old lady to make up for her body. The gift was given in the name of Second Young Master Jiang, but Second Young Master Jiang's expression didn't seem to take his grandmother's birthday to heart at all.

Fourth Young Master Jiang didn't have anything to do, so he gave a pot of small evergreen bonsai that he had been planting by himself years ago.

It means longevity and good health.

Mother Wen smiled and accepted it for Mrs. Jiang and asked Lan'er to take it.

Second Young Master Jiang glanced at him with a cold face, and muttered a few times in his mouth.

"Yu Nan has a heart, it's not in vain that grandmother loves you so much." Mrs. Jiang couldn't stop laughing.

Chang Di read out the name of Fourth Young Master Jiang in a low voice, Jiang Yunan.

It's very good.

"What about your gifts? I guess I wasn't unprepared, but my grandmother gave you such a valuable hairpin. Xu Jiaojiao raised her head proudly, picked up the teacup and flicked the tea lid with her fingers, looking proud and ready to watch Lu Shu's good show.

How could Lu Shu let her down?

I saw her get up neatly, conjure a string of sugar gourds like a trick, and then stretched out the sugar gourds in front of Mrs. Jiang's eyes with a light smile.

The sugar gourd is wrapped in a thin layer of sugar wrapper, revealing the sweetness of the red hawthorn fruit and the silk of rock sugar inside.

Old Madam Jiang's eyes were immediately attracted by the sugar gourd, and her eyes squinted and smiled like a crescent moon.

Ignoring the stunned expressions of the people present, she grabbed the sugar gourd in Lu Shu's hand, tore open the sugar paper and opened her mouth to bite down a hawthorn fruit, and said, "It's delicious, it's delicious!" ā€

The image or something, all of them were eaten into the stomach by the old lady!

Chang Di stretched out his hand and just took out the birthday gift to be presented, when he was caught off guard and saw that Lu Shu gave Mrs. Jiang a string of sugar gourds.

"The Lu family's birthday gift is really special." Mrs. Xu said in a weird way.

Lu Gong said: "The style of the Xu family, and the birthday gift is also very special. ā€

Lu Gong's words did not have any actual harm, nor did they sneer and provoke, but they just made Mrs. Xu feel unhappy in her heart.

Lu Shu supported his chin with both hands, supported himself on one foot and half-knelt on the ground, and asked, "Grandmother, is it delicious?" ā€

"Uh-huh." Mrs. Jiang nodded excitedly like a child eating sweets that she had admired for a long time.

Lu Cheng sat precariously, completely unable to see Lu Shu's rudeness and overstepping. His daughter, as long as she doesn't turn the sky upside down, he lets her have fun.

Chang Di sighed and shook his head, not only Mrs. Jiang was childish, but even Lu Gong was childish and let Lu Shu make trouble.

The Jiang family can not care about what birthday gift Lu Shu gives, but spreading it will greatly damage Lu Shu's image in Yangzhen.

Chang Di walked out, stood in the center, raised the natural arc of his mouth, and said: "Master Hong of Peize County is good at carving jade, and when the Lu family first arrived in Peize County, I heard that Master Hong got a piece of jade that is rare in the world, and carved it into a delicate and beautiful jade pendant. So I spent a lot of money to buy it, and I wanted to give it to Mrs. Jiang when I returned to Yangzhen,"

Her voice is not big or small, clear and peaceful, which makes people very comfortable to listen to.

"Today, the old lady celebrates her 70th birthday, and she just borrowed flowers to offer the Buddha and gave you jade as a birthday gift."

Chang Di humbly lowered his head, holding a piece of jade in his hand, and the rope tied in the small hole hung in the air, swaying and shaking.

The Jiang family doesn't care if the birthday gift is worth it, what the Jiang family cares about is face.

Jiang Yunan came from a humble background and was a concubine, so he couldn't take out any expensive gifts, but he showed filial piety and true feelings. Although Lu Shu's sugar gourd won the favor of the old lady, it was vulgar in etiquette after all.

In the end, the jade pendant is not worth much money in the eyes of the Jiang family, what is valuable is the reputation of Master Hong of Peize County.

Master Hong is famous for carving jade in Peize County, but he has a strange temperament, even if it is Xu County's order, he may not necessarily give face, and the Lu family can ask for a piece of jade pendant carved by his own hands?

Changdi still had her head down, and no one saw her laughing.

Of course, this jade pendant was not begged by the Lu family, but she sent a private guard in the name of her son Hu Hai to pay a small gift voluntarily from the powerful Master Hong.

Mrs. Jiang's eyes couldn't stop being amazed, I was afraid that this jade pendant couldn't be bought with money, and she couldn't help but look at this girl who had been low-key and restrained.

She had already heard about the Liu family's door-to-door employment, and she heard that it was Chang Di who was in trouble.

She is a transparent and intelligent girl.

Mrs. Jiang thought about it and asked, "Miss Changdi has already arrived, right?" ā€

Chang Di nodded, "Well, it's time at the beginning of this year." ā€

"Is there a match?"

Chang Di frowned slightly, and replied patiently: "No." ā€

Miss Jiang San was ignored, and she was a little angry and offered her birthday gift that she had prepared for a long time.

It is a hundred flower pillow embroidered by herself, which is placed with several soothing medicinal materials, which is particularly good for Mrs. Jiang's insomnia.

Mrs. Jiang couldn't put it down, and praised Miss Jiang San's excellent embroidery and ingenuity.

Mrs. Jiang glanced at Second Young Master Jiang, who was sitting indecently, turned her head and said to everyone, "It's almost noon, I'll ask the maids to prepare dinner." ā€

Mrs. Jiang went out, and after a few words of instruction to the servant woman guarding the door, she turned back.

"It's been a long time since Shu'er has eaten at her grandfather's house." Mrs. Jiang smiled affectionately at Lu Shu.

Lu Shu smiled: "It's been many years. ā€

"Shu'er, you don't have a marriage match, do you?" Mrs. Jiang asked.

Lu Shu smiled: "No, but Shu'er has no idea of finding someone for the time being, don't worry too much about Shu'er." ā€

Lu Gong suddenly said: "Jiaojiao's family affairs have been set, and the wedding date is too hasty." ā€

Chang Di thought, last time it was a quarrel between the children, and now it's the adults who are really working.

Mrs. Xu said with a very bad face: "Don't hurry, the wedding on July 14th, Duke Lu must participate at that time, after all, Jiaojiao is your niece." ā€

Speaking of Xu Jiaojiao's marriage, Mrs. Jiang remembered Liu Ji, who had a marriage contract with Xu Jiaojiao.

"What about Liu Ji, why didn't that kid come?" The old lady didn't seem to be very happy.

Chang Di was puzzled, so the Jiang family's family banquet, what did Liu Ji do?

The old lady was forgetful, and Mrs. Jiang reminded her: "Liu Ji is seriously injured and can't come." ā€

Liu Ji's injury has long been like the wind blowing through Yang Town, and everyone knows about it.

Mrs. Jiang nodded "oh oh", and then remembered that there was such a thing.

Miss Jiang San whispered in Chang Di's ear: "Bai Yingyue is the cousin of the Jiang family. ā€

Oh, it turns out that the Bai family is the cousin of the Jiang family.

Then Liu Ji is the cousin of the Jiang family.

What a mess of relationships.

Chang Di couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth.
