Chapter 262
Master Xu smiled and said with a simple face: "That's great, if Madam likes this red coral." In the future, I will give you red coral for your birthday or something. ”
In this way, he no longer has to worry about what gifts to give on his wife's birthday to please him, since he has said that she likes red coral.
Then he would find the biggest and most beautiful red coral for his wife every year to give to him.
Didn't those sour shows say it? This is called doing what he likes.
In this way, he can still worry a little less, and he doesn't have to worry about pulling down his face every year to ask his subordinates and friends what gifts are more appropriate for his wife.
And there is no need to worry that Madame will not like the gifts he personally prepared.
It's a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.
After Mrs. Xu listened, she only felt that a mouthful of old blood was in her heart, and she was about to suffocate to death if she wanted to vomit or not.
Although she can force herself to endure these two big stones this year, there is no guarantee that she will be able to endure it every year in the future
In order not to receive such a huge stone every year in the future. Oh no, it's two. Mrs. Xu plucked up the courage to consider and said, "That Xianggong...... I thought, the women and nobles in Chang'an City, who like coral, probably like coral bracelets, or coral hairpins? After all, they can't carry a stone out to show off their newfound coral. ”
She had been as careful as she could with her words, for fear of hurting his pride. So every word is very tactful.
Master Xu waved his hand very generously and said, "What's the point of giving away the coral bracelet is just that little thing." If you want me to say, you still have to be like me to give it away, atmospheric. ”
How can he send a whole piece of coral like this with that little bit of beads.
Mrs. Xu rubbed her eyebrows, held back her anger and said, "Like our women's family, if you get any jewelry hairpins, you like to take them out to show off." It's okay to let people boast about themselves. It's fun to listen to. Otherwise, how could we women always like to participate in all kinds of banquets? So, if you give me a stone, I can't move it out to show it, or you'll give me a bead or something. This way I can easily take it out and show it off. ”
Mrs. Xu felt that she had broken the words this time, crumpled them, and told him that she didn't like stones.
If he didn't understand that she didn't want the stone, she would have tied him to the stone.
Anyway, she spoke to him tactfully, and he couldn't understand it. I'm literally playing the piano to a cow.
Master Xu suddenly realized at this time. said: "It turns out that Madame wants to take out a gift to show off." ”
Mrs. Xu nodded hurriedly. is about to boast about his husband's high understanding. But I heard him continue, "If you want to take it out and show off." I'll get someone to get this coral out for you. It must not be able to lift it, this thing is too heavy, and it is expensive to lift. ”
Mrs. Xu only felt that if there was a bronze mirror by her side at this moment. She must have seen herself in the bronze mirror, her face as black as ink.
It's a pity that my husband is so coarse.
Stupid, she really can't read other people's faces, she is already angry like this. He thought he was coquettish with him and wanted to go out with a stone to show off.
Does she look like there's something wrong with her brain? I would like to carry a coral more than one person tall out to a banquet to show off.
He took several deep breaths and suppressed the fire. Mrs. Xu said slowly: "I mean, I want bracelets or hairpins, I don't want stones." I already have the stone anyway. Don't give me any more stones next time. Please give me something I can wear on my body. ”
When he found that his euphemism was really powerless in front of him. Mrs. Xu tried her best to speak to him directly, not wanting to go around and around anymore.
Master Xu nodded and said, "Okay, if you want a bracelet, I'll give you a bracelet." ”
After talking like this for a long time, it turned out that one stone was not enough. I also want something to take with me to go out.
A woman is a problem, she wants a bracelet, can't she just say that she wants a bracelet? I have to go around with myself here for a long time.
Fortunately, I was smart and covered her meaning.
This would have been a twist and turn in the barracks. I'm afraid that if the enemy army has already reached the front of the tent, they still can't tell the purpose clearly.
The corners of Mrs. Xu's mouth twitched, wanting to refute, but she didn't know how to communicate with the old man with little tendons opposite her. For fear that what he said would make him misunderstand what he meant, he had no choice but to nod.
As long as you don't give her a stone, it's easy to say.
Of course, every year of her birthday in the future, she received a red coral bracelet. Even the mahogany box containing the bracelet has not changed its pattern over the years.
But she didn't bother to talk to him anymore. Anyway, he treats himself very well on weekdays. If you want, you can buy it with the money.
There is no need to make yourself unhappy every year on your birthday because of the gifts he gives him.
Mrs. Xu sometimes wondered if he had bought dozens of them at once and secretly kept them in the warehouse. Give her a box every year.
But fortunately, he finally stopped sending the huge stone.
Later, when she told Jiang Ruxue about the coral bracelet, Jiang Ruxue's tears of laughter fell.
So today, when her father-in-law excitedly said that she wanted to "surprise" herself, Mrs. Xu was a little worried.
She had already received many coral bracelets, and even if she was a centipede spirit, she couldn't finish them.
Master Xu looked at his wife walking behind, with a sad face. Curious, he asked, "What are you thinking?" ”
Why did she say that she wanted to surprise her, is she still so unhappy?
Mrs. Xu shook her head and said with a smile: "I didn't think about anything, I was thinking about what surprise the Xiangxiang Guild would give me in a while." ”
For so many years, even if she knew that the gift she was going to receive every year was a coral bracelet, in order to match the good mood of her father-in-law, Mrs. Xu had to pretend that she didn't know what was in the box every year, opened the box with a surprised face, and then put the bracelet on her wrist with a smile.
It's too hard to act like this, but fortunately, she has the opportunity to practice her acting skills every year. So her pretending to be surprised became more and more real. Sometimes you can even fool yourself.
Although Jiang Ruxue complained that she said that she was so perverted that she even lied to herself. However, Mrs. Xu felt that it was good to be able to deceive herself.
