Even if you don't know the goods, you can see that this box of pearls is by no means ordinary. Ye Qingfu's eyes were about to fall out, and she was envious and jealous, and she couldn't wait to take this box for herself immediately.

Xue's was even more knowledgeable, and he couldn't help but secretly gasp. These pearls of good quality, strung into necklaces or made into earrings and hairpins, are extremely rare and high-quality. Ye Qingning gave it to Ye Qinglan so casually......

"Sixth sister, this gift is too valuable." But any woman probably can't refuse such a beautiful pearl. Ye Qinglan glanced at it, and then forced herself to look away: "You better keep it to yourself!" I can't ask for it. ”

Ye Qingning smiled: "What are you doing with me so politely." This was given to me by my aunt last year, and I have been of little use to it, so I will give it to you. Put it away quickly, and let the maid grind it into pearl powder for you in the future, so that your skin is white and tender. ”

Dressing your face? Ye Qingfu couldn't hold back any longer: "It's too wasteful to grind such a good pearl into powder." ”

Ye Qingning waited for this sentence, and immediately continued slowly: "What is there to waste." I still have a lot of pearls like this. When you run out, you can send some to the tenth sister. ”

Ye Qingfu: "......"

Xue glared at Ye Qingfu without a trace. Ye Qingning made it clear today that she was supporting Ye Qinglan, and she even opened her mouth slammed, which was simply sent to the door to humiliate the family.

Ye Qinglan naturally understood Ye Qingning's intentions, and her heart was warm and moved. Since Ye Qingning said so, it would be meaningless for her to refuse. She is not a hypocritical person, and immediately smiled: "Then thank you Sixth Sister." ”

Cui Wan also smiled: "I am not as rich as the sixth sister, I only prepared a set of jade head jewelry." Ten sisters, don't dislike it. ”

Chaoyun on the side opened the brocade box in his hand with a smile, and a set of delicate jade head jewelry shone brightly, and the whole room lit up. If you look closely, this set of jewelry is extraordinarily exquisite. It is very suitable for young girls. Obviously, it was not randomly found from the warehouse, but specially customized for Ye Qinglan.

Ye Qingfu's breathing was a little unsmooth, and she unconsciously clenched her fists in her sleeves. All of them are so good to Ye Qinglan......

Ye Qinglan was very moved in her heart: "Sister-in-law, how embarrassing this makes me." ”

Cui Wan pursed her lips and smiled: "It's just a pullover jewelry, if you are polite, it will be too outward." ”

Ye Qinglan had to respond with a smile, Rui Xue carefully took the brocade box, and secretly sighed in her heart. Miss Six and the eldest young grandmother are really too generous, these pearls and this set of jade heads are enough to become the private room at the bottom of the young lady's box.

Xue felt depressed in his heart. But he refused to show anything on his face, and forced out a smile: "You guys are too wasteful." ”

Ye Qingning smiled: "Third aunt, don't say that, my sister-in-law and I are just here to add icing on the cake and make up a number." I'm afraid that it will be compared with the birthday gift given by the third aunt. But I'm ashamed to see people. ”

Xue's smile was a little stiff, and he was secretly annoyed in his heart. Ye Qingning said this, obviously squeezing her.

She didn't plan to give any valuable gifts, she just wanted to pick and choose the jewelry she wore to Ye Qinglan as in previous years. can be in front of Ye Qingning and Cui Wan. This can't be done anyway. can be delicate and expensive jewelry, and I really can't bear to give it to Ye Qinglan like this......

Ye Qingfu finally got clever, and relieved the siege for the Xue family with a smile: "The food has been served on the table, and if you don't eat it, it will be cold." ”

Xue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled and arranged for everyone to take a seat. Before she could sit down, Ye Qingrou also came to join in the fun. The congratulatory gifts sent were naturally far inferior to Ye Qingning and Cui Wan. It is a pair of agate earrings. The victory is in the exquisite workmanship, and it can be regarded as a shot.

For Ye Qinglan, such a lively birthday has not passed for a long time. After the age of twenty. She went to study abroad alone. Every year's birthday is spent silently by myself. And at this moment, there are so many people to spend with her. Whether they were true or fake, she felt warm and happy. But in this happiness, there is a faint trace of unspeakable regret and loss.

Gu Xinian probably didn't know that today was her birthday......

Actually, even if you know. He is also inconvenient to show up in the open. Ye Qinglan comforted herself in her heart, and then tried to divert her thoughts.

After lunch. Everyone moved to the side hall to gossip. The Xue family doesn't wait to see Ye Qinglan on weekdays, but it is not easy to show it in front of everyone, so he just squeezes out a kind and kind smile. Ye Qinglan looked at her and felt tired and panicked.

At this moment, a maid hurriedly walked in and reported: "Madam, Gu Gongzi from the Dingguo Mansion is here." ”

Everyone was stunned, and immediately looked at Ye Qinglan in unison.

Ye Qinglan's heart trembled, and she almost lost her temper and stood up, but fortunately, her brain was one step faster than her body's reaction, and she immediately sat down reservedly.

Others didn't pay attention to her little abnormality, but Ye Qingning, who knew the inside story, took in her subtle reaction, and couldn't help but pull the corners of her lips slightly. But there was a trace of sourness and envy in my heart.

Gu Xinian really put Ye Qinglan in his heart, he shouldn't have shown up on a day like today, but he also came......

After the initial shock, Xue finally calmed down and broke the silence with a smile: "Hurry up and invite Gu Gongzi in." "It's not appropriate to welcome a male guest at the expense of a woman. However, Ye Qingning is Gu Xinian's cousin, so he is naturally an exception.

Ye Qingning got up with a smile and winked at Ye Qinglan: "Tenth sister, let's go out to greet my cousin." There was a hint of narrowness in his eyes.

Ye Qinglan was still worried that Ye Qingning would not be happy in her heart, but when she saw her reaction, she put her mind at ease. A trace of emotion swelled up in my heart again. Ye Qingning may not have let it go completely, and deliberately acted like she didn't mind at this time, because she was afraid that she would feel embarrassed!

Such a heart is more precious than a box full of pearls.

Ye Qinglan got up with a smile and went out with Ye Qingning. Ye Qingrou also followed without thinking, Ye Qingfu was not to be outdone, so naturally she had to follow.

The four young girls have their own style, neatly walking side by side, it is simply a beautiful scenery.

Gu Xinian was not in a hurry, he came slowly, and saw four girls from a distance...... Ye Qinglan. A shallow smile welled in his dark eyes.

Ye Qinglan naturally also saw Gu Xinian.

Under the dazzling sunlight, the young man who came with his hands was dressed in a moon-white suit, his long hair was up, and his body was decorated, but he exuded a light that people did not dare to look at directly, his eyebrows were clear, and the shallow smile on his lips was more dazzling than the sun.

Looking at each other, both of them were in their hearts.

Ye Qinglan's heart swelled with a faint sweetness, the pear vortex on her cheeks loomed, and her bright big eyes were like water waves.

Ye Qingrou on the side sighed inexplicably, and her voice was extremely low: "How can there be such a perfect man in the world." "After seeing such a man, where can the rest of the men still be eyed?

Ye Qingning was also melancholy and sighed, but quickly cleaned up his mood and was the first to greet him: "Cousin, you are really here today, it just happens to be the birthday of the tenth sister!" It's a pity you didn't make it to lunch. On such an occasion, Ye Qingning opened his mouth to greet him, which is naturally the most appropriate.

Gu Xinian responded with a smile: "I rushed over from the prince's mansion just now and specially sent a congratulatory gift to Cousin Lan for Yu'er. ”

This excuse is really high-sounding! Ye Qingning smiled secretly in his heart, and deliberately smiled at Ye Qinglan: "Tenth sister, Cousin Xiyu is so good to you, you even specially 'invited' Cousin Gu to run errands to send congratulatory gifts. You can't find a second copy of your face in the whole world. The meaning of promoting narrowness in the words is probably only heard by Ye Qinglan.

Ye Qinglan thinks that she has a strong face, and she has never been the kind of woman who twists and turns. But Ye Qingning was faintly teased, his face was a little hot, and he opened his mouth to say in Gu Xinian's gaze: "Thank you Cousin Gu." ”

Gu Xinian smiled faintly: "It's just a gesture, Cousin Lan doesn't have to see outside." After a pause, he said, "I haven't seen you for many days, Cousin Lan is doing well!" ”

In his indifferent tone, there was a hint of imperceptible concern.

Ye Qinglan pursed her lips and chuckled: "I'm doing well, Cousin Gu doesn't have to worry about it." ”

It's obviously an ordinary greeting, but somehow, in Ye Qingning's ears, there is a trace of sweetness that can't be dissolved.

Ye Qingning thought that his heart would be very sour and uncomfortable, but after waiting for a while, the lingering sourness in the past disappeared without a trace. There was only a faint gloom.

Ye Qingning calmed down and said with a smile: "Look at the few of us, how are we talking here." Hurry up and sit down. ”

Gu Xinian replied casually, and entered the Hefeng Courtyard with all the girls.

Seeing Xue Shi and Cui Wan, they exchanged polite greetings again, and then sat down separately. After Xue knew Gu Xinian's intention, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Miss Gu is so thoughtful and polite, she even sent a gift over." ”

said politely, but secretly hated in his heart. What kind of ** soup did this girl pour into everyone. It's just an ordinary birthday, and everyone rushes to give gifts. It's like she's supporting her and demonstrating to her mother-in-law.

Gu Xinian responded with a light smile: "Yu'er has been unwell for the past two days, otherwise she would have come over in person." She felt sorry for Cousin Lan, so she specially asked me to come and give a congratulatory gift. As he spoke, he casually ordered, "All blessed, all noble, you two bring the gifts." ”

The little ones responded in unison, put the heavy wooden box they were holding on the table, and opened it.

Xue Shi looked at it fixedly, and then breathed for a while.

In the first box, there is a set of ruby head jewelry. Compared with the set of jade head noodles that Cui Wan gave before, this set of ruby jewelry is more expensive. The color is brilliant and radiant, and it is impossible to take your eyes off it.
