Chapter 268: The Gift

When Jinghu returned to her room, Xie Chiying had already set up the card table and was waiting for her.

Since that time I went to Xie Chijin's room to wipe the dominoes once, Jinghu and Xie Chiying have not gone again. Xie Chiying didn't want to make trouble, she was going to go to Hangzhou, and she didn't want to make any trouble.

Jinghu was because of Ke Mingxu's words, he told her to rest well, and besides, after she heard about Xie Chijin's marriage, she was always a little nosy and sad for her.

The only set of dominoes she brought was taken by her and given to Xie Chijin, and the dominoes they used today were prepared by Xie Chiying.

“…… It was a gift from my sixth sister on my thirteenth birthday, and I heard that it was also a very rare item from Jinling Gaming Pavilion. ”

Jinghu picked it up and looked at it, the material was like mahogany, and soft sheepskin was pasted behind each domino. "Then today is still my birthday, what do you give me?"

Xie Chiying leaned on the dominoes in front of her, "Aren't I here to wipe the dominoes with you, isn't it better than giving you some gold, silver, jewelry, and gemstone jewelry?" ”

Jinghu smiled, "Without you, I can wipe dominoes, how do you know that I don't love pearl jewelry?" ”

"The dignified county lord of Yanliang, how can you care about this bit of needles and threads with me."

Jinghu snatched a card from her hand, "What if I want to care?" ”

Xie Chiying stopped, "Okay, where will I not prepare a gift for you." I just knew that your birthday was a little late, and I didn't have time to arrange anything, so I just wrote a letter to ask my sister to arrange someone to go to Jinling Gaming Pavilion to see if there was anything new. ”

"Count the days, when we get to Hangzhou, you will be able to see it."

"That's pretty much it."

Jinghu stood up, walked around to her, and pulled out a golden hairpin she used to tie her hair, and in an instant, the green silk poured like a waterfall, "However, you girl has always thought a lot, in case you repay the account, this hairpin will be kept for me first." ”

She said as she tucked the golden hairpin into her bun.

Xie Chiying glanced at her, "With these jewelry on your head, it's not too heavy, so let's go wash first." He also said: "Even if you take my hairpin, then I will not suffer, and it will definitely not be as valuable as the wooden hairpin you gave me during the day." ”

The hairpin of the wooden flower is indeed valuable, and it is carved by the best master in Luomucui in Yanjing City. Although the hairpin is made of wood, its value is never lower than that of gold and jade.

Jinghu walked towards the clean house, "She also said that she was the daughter of the Xie family in Jiangnan, and she was more shrewd than the small vendors in the market." ”

When she came back from the clean room, the dominoes on the table had been stacked, just waiting for someone to use them. Xie Chiying sat on the couch by the window, not knowing what she was thinking.

Jinghu sat down beside her, "Suddenly I remembered, if you asked your sister to help you go to the gaming court to buy something, wouldn't she suspect you?" ”

Xie Chiying smiled, "They are all daughters of the Xie family, is it only me who has two faces?" My sister is naturally the same, but I'm a lot more out of place than she is. ”

"is also the daughter of the Xie family, she naturally knows my difficulties, so she will not criticize me for anything, that is, the temperament of my sixth sister, she also knows everything. So I told her to help me buy some things and come back, and she shouldn't be surprised. ”

"That's right." Xie Chiying took out another handkerchief from her body, "This is also for you." After all, today is a positive day, and it's better to just draw a big pie for you. ”

Jinghu took it and looked at it carefully under the candlelight, it was embroidered with Ling Xiaohua, which was really not good compared to her craftsmanship. However, it can also be seen that Xie Chiying embroidered very seriously.

"Embroidery is naturally not as good as you, but it is just a piece of my heart. You keep it by your side, and we will be separated in the future, and when you see this handkerchief, you will naturally think of me. ”

Jinghu smiled, "I thought you were just busy embroidering things for your sister, but I didn't expect to remember me." I'll keep it and I won't forget you. ”

The time she spent with Xie Chiying was really happy, she was in the world, it was difficult to know herself, and she would always cherish her.

Xie Chiying saw that Jinghu didn't laugh at her stitches, so she slowly relaxed, but came to tease Jinghu again, "I embroidered a few stitches on my sister's handkerchief, and I felt that the embroidery was not very good, so I practiced with this handkerchief, how is it, can you still see it?" ”

"So-so." Jinghu was not to be outdone, "This kind of craftsmanship is indeed a bit unsatisfactory to give to my cousin-in-law." ”

Xie Chiying pinched her, and the two little ladies rolled on the couch with a smile. Outside the window, the night was quiet, no more rain, and the clouds floated freely in the night sky.

At such a moment, I am not in a hurry to wipe the dominoes.

"You have been back for so long, but you are only holding a brocade box containing grinding and drinking music in your arms, my cousin should not be so perfunctory, only took the gadgets sold in the market as a birthday gift."

Jinghu shook his head, "Naturally not." He said that he had originally painted a picture for me as a gift, but then he felt bad and asked me to give me a few days. I don't know what he's going to give me. ”

"I almost thought about drawing a picture for you, but luckily I'm always more intentional than he is."

Xie Chiying teased, and said: "You are the one who receives the gift, just wait with peace of mind, why guess what he wants to give you." If he wants to give you a gift, he should be the one who understands your thoughts. ”

"And what is my mind?" Jinghu shook his head, "I don't know myself, how can he know." ”

Xie Chiying pursed her lips, "Your mind is simply Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knows it." ”

Of course, she was referring to Jinghu's love for Ke Mingxu, "Then can your cousin still pack himself up and give it to me?" ”

"Not really, but it's going to be something you like. Don't think about it, just wait for the gift. By the way, Mr. Zhou heard that today is your birthday, and said that he planned to write a pair of words for you, asking you to look for him tomorrow. ”

Jinghu was speechless. Last time, he coaxed himself to embroider swaddling clothes for his great-grandson, and he also wrote a pair of words in return. This old man really thinks that his words are worth a thousand gold.

Xie Chiying seemed to see what she was thinking, "Don't underestimate Mr. Zhou, he doesn't write casually, and the value of a pair of words will never be less than the golden hairpin you just took away." ”

Gold is valuable at all times, but words are not necessarily, Jinghu slandered in his heart. "Okay, I know, I received Mr. Zhou's love, let's start earlier, and then end it early."
