Chapter 208: Gift-giving
"Master, Happy New Year." Today's house is full of lights, because Xiaocha and Mr. Ling are there, the subordinates are naturally more diligent when they do things, and no one dares to be negligent.
Chengji was particularly happy today, and ran to Xiaocha early in the morning to greet the New Year.
Xiaocha took out the red envelope that had been prepared a long time ago and handed it to Cheng Ji:
"Congratulations."
Cheng Ji took the red envelope with a smile, but found that something was wrong:
"Master, how can this be three copies?"
"One is yours, and one is Jiu'er."
Hearing Xiaocha's words, Chengji was surprised.
Since Xiaocha took Jiu'er out of Jiutang, Chengji and her Ming Media are marrying and worshipping heaven and earth officially became husband and wife, Jiu'er also felt at home at ease, because of Cheng Rang's matter, Chengji has not taken the initiative to mention Jiu'er to Xiaocha since the wedding, but I didn't expect that Xiaocha would think of this layer, and I was a little moved.
"What about this little one?" Cheng Ji held up the slightly smaller red envelope, but in terms of feel, it was even thicker than the other two.
"Congratulations on becoming a father." Xiaocha's words made Cheng Ji embarrassed all of a sudden.
Yesterday, Jiu'er got up and was a little worried, but he didn't expect that as soon as Dr. Chuan came to diagnose the pulse, he was pregnant, so he was naturally very happy, but Chengji was still worried that this matter would stimulate Xiaocha, so he didn't take the initiative to mention it, and even others didn't know.
Unexpectedly, I still couldn't hide anything from Xiaocha.
"Hehe, thank you, master." Cheng Ji happily accepted the extra red envelope of Xiao Cha, others looked at it, and they didn't expect that there would be such a happy event.
"Good, good, it's all there." Cheng Ji put the smallest red envelope in his arms and said to everyone.
After Xiaocha finished handing out everyone's red envelopes, Mr. Ling walked up to Xiaocha, took out a red envelope from his sleeve, and gave it to Xiaocha:
"This is the master's."
It stands to reason that it should be Xiaocha who sends it to Mr. Ling, but Mr. Ling's status is special, and the red envelope he gives to Xiaocha every year is also the old city lord's deathbed order.
"Thank you." Xiaocha likes this red envelope very much, it is not money or anything like that, but what the old city lord used to love to say.
Mr. Ling's annual letter is exactly the same as the old city lord's handwriting, and it also makes Xiaocha feel the breath of the old city lord.
This time, Xiaocha opened the red envelope, but it was a little different, pinched the red envelope, it was a hard object, and the shape was irregular.
"What is this?" Xiaocha asked Mr. Ling with some puzzlement.
"Master, you might as well take it apart and take a look." Mr. Ling said to Xiaocha with a smile on his face.
Although Xiaocha didn't expect it, he still opened the red envelope according to what Mr. Ling said.
Inside is actually a hairpin, simple workmanship but exquisite, but it looks like something from many years ago.
"This is..."Xiao Cha's tone did not have the question just now, but there was a thought that he didn't dare to say.
"Just as the master thought." Mr. Ling smiled, affirming the bold idea in Xiao Cha's mind.
At this moment, Xiaocha's hands were even trembling a little, holding the hairpin, and she almost burst into tears, but her eyes were already red.
"This is something left to the master, and the master should be happy." Mr. Ling said softly to Xiaocha.
"Thank you, thank you." Xiao Cha said it twice in a row, and in front of Mr. Ling, the whole person really looked a little excited.
"Where." Mr. Ling smiled and said towards Xiao Cha.
"I believe in the master of the hairpin, and I hope that the master will be happy when he sees the hairpin."
Listening to Mr. Ling's words, Xiaocha sniffed.
"Yes, I want to be happy."
Xiaocha took off the hairpin she was wearing on her head now, pinned this one on her head, and asked Mr. Ling:
"Isn't it pretty?"
"Beautiful." Mr. Ling looked at Xiao Cha's face, and what came to mind was another face that had seven points of imagination with Xiao Cha's face, with the same temperament as her body, but she was not her.
Mr. Ling lost his mind for a moment.
Xiaocha has already come back to her senses.
"Is there any movement on the prince's side?" Xiaocha asked Chengji.
Chengji, who had just recovered from his joy, replied fairly quickly.
"Not yet." Chengji shook his head.
"Such a good opportunity today, the prince will not miss it." Xiaocha said firmly.
Mr. Ling looked at Xiao Cha's eyes like this, and nodded lightly, maybe Xiao Cha would do better than her mother.
But at this moment, a person announced:
"Lord, master."
The man visibly looked a little agitated and stammered.
It's rare to see such a scene in Pulau Pulau.
"Speak well." Chengji warned the man at this moment, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, you can bypass this time, but the quality of the people in Pulau City is not good.
"He, he's back." The man was glared at by Cheng Ji like this, and he stammered a little, but he was still able to say it completely.
"The Book Hero is at the door now."
"Daddy!" Xiao Yu, who was sitting on the banquet, stood up all of a sudden, not seen for a long time, originally thought that this was the first time he spent Chinese New Year's Eve outside, Xiao You was still a little sullen and didn't like to talk much, but now when he heard Shuhang's name, he stood up all of a sudden.
Xiaocha understood why she was so excited, but she didn't expect Shuhang's visit today.
"Come in." Xiaocha raised her hand.
"Lord of Pulau, I haven't seen you for a long time." Shuhang walked in with a sword, with more stubble on his face, and he looked a little vicissitudes, but the light in his eyes was difficult to hide, and he was obviously in a good mood.
But in the face of Mr. Ling, Shuhang was a little serious, and saluted uprightly:
"Hello Mr. Ling."
"Lord Shuhang." Mr. Ling also showed full respect for Shuhang and also returned the salute.
"Daddy!" In the silence of everyone, Xiao Yu shouted vividly.
"Ugh." When the seriousness on Shuhang's face turned to look at Xiao Yu, he instantly turned kind, squatted down, and showed his arms towards Xiao Yu, obviously waiting for Xiao Yu to pounce.
But Xiao You was unexpected, although Xiao Yu obviously wanted to go over on his face, but he just stood up, but did not take any action, and his steps did not move at all, and he looked at Xiao Cha with hesitant eyes.
The latter nodded faintly, and Xiao You ran towards Shuhang unscrupulously.
Shuhang hugged his daughter, as if he was holding the feeling of the whole world.
But the scene just now Shuhang will not forget that his daughter, who has always been lawless, was able to restrain herself, and she showed full respect for Xiaocha, compared to Xiaocha's training of Xiaoyou these days.
Although Shuhang is also a little distressed that his daughter has suffered so many twists and turns at a young age, he understands in his heart that maybe this is the best for Xiaoyou.
He was a little grateful to Xiaocha in his heart.
Because Xiao You was placed in Langluo City, Shuhang could rest assured that he could wander alone, and Pulau City became Shuhang's confidence, seeing that Xiao You was also taken care of by Xiao Cha very well, Shu Hang finally put down Xiao You, who was held high, and said to Xiao Cha from the bottom of his heart:
"Thank you."
Shuhang's attitude was serious, and Xiao You also bowed to Xiao Cha in a decent manner, and the scene suddenly became a little sensational.
Fortunately, Xiaocha broke the scene in time, waved his hand, and asked with the same immodest attitude of Shuhang just now:
"I don't know what kind of wind it is, but it blew the book hero."
Shuhang also smiled and said to Xiaocha:
"My daughter has been here for so long, and she has to come and see if she is a father, right?"
"Of course you're welcome to see it, but this Chinese New Year, isn't it a little bad for the book hero to come empty-handed?" Xiaocha raised her eyebrows, took a light sip of the wine glass in her hand, and said with a playful smile.
Originally, Xiaocha's words meant to joke with Shuhang, but I didn't expect that Shuhang really brought a gift to Xiaocha this time.
"Naturally, it didn't come empty-handed." Shu Hang patted Xiao You's head, and the latter returned to his seat and sat down, and others didn't dare to interject in the conversation between the two, each of them was listening quietly.
"After tonight, the lord of the city has received it."
The corners of Xiaocha's mouth hooked up a smile:
"It seems that the book navigation hero and I want to go together."
"I don't know what the city lord thinks, but what is it?" Shuhang is a little stupid and doesn't pick out.
But Xiao You looked at the two of them, and her heart was full of puzzlement, the adults seemed to be talking about dumb riddles, she didn't understand a little, but as long as she could see her father, Xiao You was already very happy.
"Xiao Yu, do you like Daddy?" Xiaocha asked Xiaocha at this time.
"I like it!" Nodding without hesitation.
"Then, between Daddy and Master, do you choose one?" Like the question when he was apprenticed, Xiaocha threw the problem to Xiaoyou at this moment.
"The city lord is embarrassed." The girl pursed her mouth, obviously seeing Xiao Yu's intentions.
Although Cheng Ji is the party concerned, he looked at Xiaocha with a lively face at the moment, and smiled loudly.
"The city lord's question is also answered like this?" Xiaocha's words were with a hint of seriousness.
Xiao You understood that he couldn't be coquettish like this anymore, and looked at Shuhang with a very heartache.
Shuhang thought that his daughter would definitely choose herself firmly, and he was a little proud on his face, but he didn't expect that what Xiao You said next was beyond his expectations.
"I'm sorry daddy, I'll choose you when my daughter learns martial arts from the master!"
Xiao Yu finished saying this with his eyes almost closed.
Shuhang, who was a little stunned for a while, really didn't react, and then said to Xiaocha:
"City Lord, you have to compensate me for a daughter."
"Obviously before, I still chose mine."
Although he said so, but from Shuhang's face, there was no unpleasantness, after all, this fully shows that Xiao You now has a sense of self-preservation, not to mention, Xiao You didn't say that he didn't want this daddy, but he still left him some affection.
"There's no way, maybe I'm more attractive as a master." Cheng Ji jumped out at this time and said quite narcissistically.
"Oh, really?" Shuhang held down the sword in his hand and said to Cheng Ji:
"Why don't we take a look?"
"No need, no need." Hearing Shuhang's words, Cheng Ji waved his hand again and again, after all, many of his martial arts were able to beat himself down, not to mention Shuhang, Cheng Ji still chose not to humiliate himself.
"Daddy is amazing!" Seeing that Shuhang was obviously shocked by Cheng Ji's appearance, Xiao You clapped his hands and applauded.
"The apprentice is still not as good as the daughter." Cheng Ji looked quite sad, but in his heart, he was looking forward to Jiu'er's child.
Xiao Cha looked at the excitement, and the smile on the corner of her mouth never put down, Mr. Ling, maybe even more so.
