Have a good weekend, o(β©_β©)o

After finishing the meal, Shen Hetai wanted to continue to invite Zhao Xi to hang out together, but Zhao Xi declined his invitation and said that he wanted to go home for a lunch break.
In fact, Zhao Xi is in good health, not to mention resting at noon, even if she doesn't sleep for a few days and nights, but she doesn't know why, she wants to go home now.
Maybe it's because she has to think about what kind of gift to prepare?
Zhao Xi shook his head and shook off the idea that suddenly came to him.
Shen Hetai was a little regretful, but he also knew that he had gained a lot today, and he couldn't ask for more, and it was not good to get an inch.
Seeing that Zhao Xi was leaving, Shen Hetai hurriedly stopped her again.
"Ahem, Xiaoxi, are you free for the next rest day? Do you want to go and have a look? β
He got the news today that Xiao Xi went to have a fate today, in this case, it would be good to meet there on the next rest day, if Xiao Xi really can't think of what to prepare for him, then it's okay to choose something for him there, anyway, as long as it is given by Xiao Xi, he likes it.
And what a good implication of fate, he likes it.
Zhao Xi thought for a moment and nodded in response: "Okay." β
Shen Hetai finally watched with satisfaction as Zhao Xi rode away.
"Shizi, will Miss Zhao become our eldest and youngest grandmother in the future?" Xifu asked in a low voice behind Shen Hetai.
Shen Hetai turned his head and gently tapped Xifu's shoulder with a folding fan, his face was full of joy, and said, "You kid has eyes, not bad." β
"What kind of eyes is this, you've done it so obviously, no one can see it. Shen Hetai, a famous iron-blooded general in the capital, actually flattered a girl so much, and played a scoundrel with such a cheeky face, so that a blind man couldn't see it. β
Rifle muttered in a low voice not afraid of death.
Shen Hetai angrily knocked off Fu's head with a folding fan and glared at him, "Is your kid itchy, do you want me to loosen your bones?" β
The four of them have been by Shen Hetai's side since they were children, practiced martial arts with him, and went to the battlefield together.
Laifu smiled, the four of them said that it was Shen Hetai's personal servant, but they had deep feelings, and they knew that Shen Hetai was really in a good mood today, and they were not very afraid of Shen Hetai, so he also stepped forward and said:
"Lord Shizi, if the young grandmother has something to tell in the future, listen to you or listen to her?"
"Listen to her, of course."
"Aren't you afraid that what Grandma tells will go wrong?"
"The students taught by Ning Guogong will not be disproportionate?"
"Hey, sure enough, it will be the young grandmother who will call the shots in the future, so you are not afraid of the reputation of the inside?"
"Blessed are the men who are afraid of their wives."
"Where did the nonsense come from? Why haven't I heard of it? β
"There are so many things you don't know, so you usually read more books and are not as lonely as you are now."
"Then the four of us have to please the young grandmother in advance now, so that we won't be afraid under her hands in the future, maybe the young grandmother will marry her eldest girl to us."
"What do you kid think, think too much! If you want to please her, I will please her first, otherwise you don't know how long it will take to have a young grandmother. When I marry your young grandmother, you will come to please her, and see if you can let her marry her maid ring to you. β
"See how much Xiaoxi likes today's gift, it's not in vain that I've worked so hard for so long. Well, I'm going to think about what to give for my next gift. β
"Shizi, you are not hard, Master Zhang is hard, you are so annoyed that you can't do it, you insist that you are not satisfied with the two works he made before, and you have to start again, if it weren't for the sake of Master Hou, it is estimated that Master Zhang will not even let you in." Master Zhang has said that he will never welcome you to step into his door again in the future. β
"Come to bless, you stinky boy, I see that you really have itchy skin today, come on, come on, let's go back to the house to loosen your bones."
"Shizi, are you annoyed and angry?"
The three of them went home as they spoke.

When Zhao Xi returned home, it was just the time for the family to rest, she didn't bother, she went back to the room directly, took the pentium out of the box, and enjoyed it carefully.
The pigeon looked at Zhao Xi's galloping with some curiosity and asked, "Girl, where did this come from?" It's clearly you and Liuyan. β
Yes, as long as anyone who has seen Zhao Xi can recognize it, this is her, let alone Liuyan.
Zhao Xi raised his head and looked at the pigeon and asked her, "It's called Pentium, what do you think of it?" β
The pigeon circled around, looked at it seriously, and replied: "It's beautiful, this craftsmanship is exquisite, the colors are gorgeous, it is definitely a treasure, it is really heartfelt." "Yes, it is indeed with heart." Zhao Xi muttered.
Therefore, Shen Hetai prepared a gift for her so carefully, so what kind of gift did she want to go back?
If you don't care, you can't seem to say it.
Zhao Xi thought for a while and asked the pigeon: "It seems that I have a piece of sandalwood in the warehouse?" β
The valuable gifts that Zhao Xi receives every year will be recorded and put into storage, and the key to the small warehouse is in the hands of the pigeon.
The pigeon has always had a good memory, not to mention that it was a whole piece of rosewood, which was very precious, and she naturally remembered it, and she didn't need to take the booklet out, so she replied: "Yes, girl, it was bought by the eldest young master for you, and it is kept in the warehouse." β
"Then you can show it to me."
"Okay, girl, I'll go."
The pigeon quickly brought the rosewood over, and Zhao Xi looked at this piece of rosewood, the color was purple and black, the texture was not clear, but the texture was delicate and smooth.
This is Venus rosewood. If polished, each brown eye hole will flash Venus gold dots, undulating "watercress" pattern, like satin flash under the sun, very gorgeous.
She looked at this piece of rosewood, and had a plan in her heart, this piece of rosewood is not small, she estimated, enough to create a bracelet for her grandfather and grandmother at home, and then she took it to Daxiang Temple to open the light, praying for the family's longevity and safety.
As for Shen Hetai, I also wish him to turn evil into good fortune on the battlefield and be safe and sound.
However, before you can create a bracelet, you need to first
"Swallow, take this box, let's go out." Zhao Xi put the rosewood back in the box, handed it to Yanzi, and then went out with Yanzi again.
"Girl, where are we going?" Swallow asked.
Zhao Xi straddled the flame and said, "Let's go to Daxiang Temple." Walk. β
After saying that, he slapped Liuyan and rode away.
Yanzi was a little puzzled, why did he suddenly go to Daxiang Temple again, but he didn't have time to ask again, so he hurriedly drove his horse to follow.
What to do at Daisangji? Of course, I went to ask the presiding abbot how to build a bracelet, but it was the first time she had done this kind of thing, and she couldn't waste this fine Venus rosewood.
γSmall Theater:
Shen Hetai: Men who are afraid of their wives are blessed.
Laifu: Then every time I see the close-fitting maid (swallow) who followed my grandmother with a calm gaze, I feel a little scared for no reason, so if I marry her, I will be very blessed?
Shen Hetai: You're a joke! γ
