Chapter 17: Election of Gifts
The whole Mu Mansion also knew about the old lady's birthday, and they were all preparing for her birthday.
Mu Qingge was no exception, early in the morning, she went out with the crescent moon.
"Miss, are you going to pick a birthday gift for the old lady?" Crescent Moon asked with her eyes twinkling in confusion.
Mu Qingge looked at her cute appearance and couldn't help but smile, "What kind of gift do you guess I want to prepare this time?" ”
"Hairpin? Dim sum? The crescent moon said casually.
Mu Qingge shook his head, "These things are too vulgar, they were sent in previous years, this time it is my grandmother's sixtieth birthday, it's different, I have to send something else." ”
The crescent moon nodded as if she didn't understand, "Did the young lady think about what to give?" ”
"My grandmother liked calligraphy and female red when she was young, and my female red is not exquisite, but it is okay with a little practice; Although I am not familiar with calligraphy, I believe that I can practice it well. ”
Mu Qingge looked ahead, his eyes full of determination.
"Let's go, let's go ahead and have a look!"
Walking and walking, he came to a grocery store, and there were people coming and going, Mu Qingge decided to go in with the crescent moon to have a look.
"Hello guest officer, please here, what do you want to buy?"
As soon as he entered the door, the shopkeeper was enthusiastic, which reminded Mu Qingge of Liu Er in his shop.
"Do you have any pen, ink, paper, and inkstone here?" Mu Qingge asked.
"Guest, you've come to the right place! This way, please! ”
The shopkeeper took them to the library.
Mu Qingge looked at this small warehouse, which was full of pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, and they were all classified.
Seeing Mu Qingge looking up and down, the shopkeeper began to introduce himself.
"Here is a new batch of inkstones, among which this inkstone is the most eye-catching."
The shopkeeper picked up a cinnabar-colored and clear inkstone, and Mu Qingge's eyes were also attracted by it.
"This is a mud inkstone, after thousands of years of water-stained mud firing, the color and texture are extremely unique and delicate, Miss you will definitely like it."
Mu Qingge nodded, didn't ask for it immediately, and slowly introduced it as the shopkeeper slowly introduced.
Finally finished the introduction, Mu Qingge's experience was not bad, and she felt that the shopkeeper here was not only enthusiastic but also familiar with various items, and she felt that she could let Liu Er learn it.
"Just the famous products you just mentioned! Wrap me up. ”
Mu Qingge is quite satisfied with these things, and he can also feel the sincerity of the store.
After paying, Mu Qingge and Crescent Moon just returned home, not wanting to bump into the Li family.
The Li family has always sent people to pay attention to herself, and Mu Qingge knows it, so when she saw the Li family, she didn't show anything.
"Ma'am?"
Mu Qingge looked surprised, completely like an uninformed child.
Li Shi also pretended to bump into him, "Qingge, what did you buy?" ”
"I bought some pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, and came back, isn't it my grandmother's birthday in two days? I thought about surprise my grandmother! ”
Mu Qingge said with a serious face.
Li's eyes rolled quickly, "Qingge, the old lady doesn't seem to like these, besides, you're not a man, it's better for a woman to learn female red embroidery or something!" ”
Hearing this, Mu Qingge forcibly suppressed his laughter.
I have to say that this Li really fooled her for a fool, can she not know what her grandmother likes? Besides, she is not an ordinary boudoir woman.
"It's okay, Qingge can do it, I heard that my grandmother liked these when she was young, shouldn't Mrs. dislike Qingge to play with these?"
Mu Qingge blinked, looking innocent.
"How can my aunt not like it, Qingge supports whatever her aunt does, but my aunt thinks that the house has been preparing for the old lady's birthday recently, and the expenses are a lot, and my aunt is also for the good of this family!"
Li Shi felt that his face was about to be unable to be kept, and gritted his teeth.
Mu Qingge smiled, "Madam, what is this, if it weren't for my grandmother, where would my father come from, where would I come from this family?" It's just worth spending some money to please your grandmother. ”
"And when my grandmother is old, we children should be more filial, so that we can also say that we are filial to the outside world. Ah, also, Madame doesn't have to worry about expenses, now the business of the jewelry shop is getting more and more prosperous day by day, and my Mu family still pays this money! ”
Without waiting for the Li family to speak, Mu Qingge took the lead.
The implication is that the Li family is not filial, and even a little money has to be taken care of.
The subordinates couldn't help but glance at the Li family, and they also felt that the Li family was calculating.
As the saying goes, filial piety comes first, the eldest lady is so filial, but the Li family cares about money and things outside the body.
Good for you, Mu Qingge!
Li gritted his teeth in his heart, eager to tear Mu Qingge.
For the sake of face, Li still smiled mildly on the surface.
"That's the case, that's good, my aunt is also thinking about this family, Qingge don't get me wrong!"
"Madame, don't worry, Qingge is very generous and won't take these things to heart."
Mu Qingge smiled even more.
She looked at Li with a funny expression, and Li's expression at this time was so stinky that it was indescribable.
She was obviously generous, but in fact, she was still saying that the Li family was stingy and calculating.
"Hehe, then it's okay, my aunt will leave!" Li said with a cheek.
"Madame walks slowly, Qingge has returned to the house! Oh yes, madam, I will also be a female celebrity, so I didn't buy it, and Mrs. doesn't have to worry about Qingge. ”
Mu Qingge's words were full of respect, but outside the words were endless ridicule, which made the Li family very unhappy.
Seeing Li like this, Mu Qingge was in a good mood.
In the past few days, Mu Qingge has not gone out, and is preparing seriously at home.
When Li learned about this, he was furious.
No, she must not let Mu Qingge's dead girl steal the limelight.
Li narrowed his eyes and had a plan.
Mu Qingge can practice calligraphy and embroidery, why can't her daughter?
Her daughter has been a good female celebrity since she was a child, and on her birthday, she will please the old lady and win over Mu Qingge, although Mu Qingge can be literary and martial, but she has not seen Mu Qingge move any female celebrity.
Thinking in his heart, Li instructed his subordinates to do something.
When Mu Nanyu heard that her mother wanted to embroider for her grandmother by herself, of course she did not hesitate.
"Yu'er, you just embroider well, Mu Qingge has a mother over there." Li Shi looked at Mu Nanyu and said.
"Mother, is something happening to Mu Qingge?"
"Mu Qingge, that little slut, bought a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone to move around in the house, and planned to embroider, I persuaded her not to do this, she was good, and she was disrespectful to her mother!"
Speaking of Mu Qingge, Li's face was full of viciousness, and she couldn't wait to kill Mu Qingge.
"But mother, she sends embroidery, and I will also follow the embroidery will be said!"
Mu Nanyu frowned.
Li patted Mu Nanyu's back comfortingly, "If you have a mother, your mother won't embarrass you, and when the time comes, I'll say that Mu Qingge will learn from you." ”
"Okay, don't think about these things, embroider at home with peace of mind!"
Li comforted Mu Nanyu and asked Mu Nanyu not to think about it.
