The 80th birthday is definitely a birthday banquet worth celebrating.

When Xie Chonglou returned to Chi's house, it was impossible not to prepare a gift for Old Man Chi.

So on the second day after returning to Chi's house, Xie Chonglou went out with Mai Sui, Ling Hao and Leng Yan, went to the high-end shopping malls in the imperial capital, and began to choose gifts for Old Man Chi, but he didn't pick a suitable one.

Coming out of the mall again, Xie Chonglou didn't want to move anymore.

Choosing a gift is both mental and physical draining.

Chi Feng and Mu Wan had actually prepared relevant gifts for Xie Chonglou, but Xie Chonglou said that he wanted to find it himself, and Mu Wan didn't refuse, so they all came out to play.

However, Xie Chonglou came out with the ears of wheat, on weekdays, Xie Chonglou doesn't like to go shopping or anything, and now he has a pregnant ears of wheat, so it is naturally impossible to make this kind of physical strength aggravated.

Several people sat down on benches outside the mall.

"It seems that it is difficult to pick the best one." Xie Chonglou was a little helpless, wiped his face with a tissue, and muttered, "However, even if you choose a suitable one in these high-end shopping malls, it is not easy to give it away." ”

The Chi family is also a big family.

She, who is a granddaughter, is the first time to appear at Old Man Chi's birthday banquet, if she really takes out some things in a big shopping mall, she will inevitably be criticized by some people, and at that time, it will not be a good thing.

These people, giving a gift, the heart is coming, but the value is more important.

"Didn't you already know all these things before you came?" Mai Sui looked at Xie Chonglou a little puzzled, "When I just walked through that shopping mall, I saw that you were not interested, and you didn't have the idea of looking." ”

It was actually noticed.

Xie Chonglou held his forehead a little helplessly: "Yes, in fact, I was just paying attention to this neighborhood to see if there were any other places to visit, but after walking for so long, I didn't see anything worth visiting." ”

"We've only been out for less than two hours, don't worry." Mai Sui can probably understand Xie Chonglou's impatience in choosing gifts, but Xie Chonglou is not the kind of person who likes to go shopping.

To be able to walk for two hours at such a time, it would have been almost impossible before.

At this moment, Ling Hao suddenly said, "Miss, if you choose a gift, there is actually a place nearby. ”

"Huh?"

Xie Chonglou looked at Ling Hao suspiciously.

Ling Hao scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "When I came with you this time, Brother Ning told me that there seems to be an antique street around here, and there should be those calligraphy, paintings or antiques and other things in the antique street." ”

Like these things, as long as you pick up the real thing and give it to Old Man Chi, it is not a problem at all.

When Xie Chonglou heard that it was indeed the case, he immediately decided: "Then rest and rest, and then go to the antique street for a walk." ”

The others had no objections, and they all obeyed Xie Chonglou's words.

After a break, the group of four set off towards the antique street.

……

In the antique street, it is very lively, even the decoration is very antique, and even the shop owners inside are all in accordance with the ancient shopkeeper model, wearing Hanfu, which can be regarded as a feature.

"It's really nice here."

When Mai Sui saw such a scene, he couldn't help but exclaim.

Xie Chonglou's eyes flashed slightly, and there was a light crossing, and his hand was also clenched involuntarily.

The gift to Mr. Chi is actually very good with pen and ink poetry and painting, or antique toys, so the antique shops visited by several people are almost all relatively clear, but no one thought that when they just entered a store, they would "bump" into a wrongdoer.

Song Chenwan.

Xie Chonglou was surprised, Song Chenwan's side was not much better.

When I saw each other, in addition to being shocked, I was surprised.

It's too coincidental to get together.

The two of them clearly knew each other, but neither of them greeted each other, they just looked away in tacit understanding, and each looked at the things in the store.

Mai Sui naturally saw Song Chenwan as well.

She also didn't expect to see Song Chenwan here, but now she thinks about it more than Xie Chonglou, so she couldn't help but pull Xie Chonglou aside and said in a low voice: "Loulou, let's go to another store." ”

"Why?"

Xie Chonglou's face was full of doubts, and when he saw Mai Sui's expression again, he smiled helplessly: "Don't worry, she buys her things, I look at my things, and they don't interfere with each other, so they don't need to be deliberately evasive." ”

On the surface, it's the same as a stranger, and it's fine.

Mai Sui was not as optimistic as Xie Chonglou.

It was also at this time that she suddenly remembered something: although things like antiques are indeed gifts, they are very applicable, and they can be put on the table, but what if they are fake?

That would be a shame and a big loss.

Mai Sui doesn't know how to identify antique literary toys, and he wouldn't even touch these things before, and Ling Hao and Leng Yan on the side don't seem to be people who can play this aspect, so in this way, the things that Xie Chonglou bought by his eyes are not necessarily genuine.

Xie Chonglou asked Ling Hao to look at the wheat ears here, and he watched them in the store.

Occasionally, when I looked up, I could see that Song Chenwan was also looking at these things very seriously, and it seemed that she was also going to pick a gift to give to others.

Xie Chonglou didn't care much about Song Chenwan, but looked at the store, and when he was sure that there was nothing he wanted, he was about to leave with Mai Sui, but he never thought that at this time, a person walked in at the door.

When he saw that person, Xie Chonglou raised his eyebrows slightly.

It's a coincidence!

There was no reaction here, Song Chenwan, who was in the store before, hurriedly walked towards the visitor with a smile when she saw the visitor: "Linlin, you are finally here!" I've just looked at a few things, and I think they're all good. ”

Song Chenwan stepped forward and hugged the arm of the visitor very affectionately.

came, that is, Chi Lin.

When Chi Lin saw Xie Chonglou, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, but soon, he was completely reined in, and said to Song Chenwan: "Let's talk about this matter later, I saw my sister." ”

While speaking, Chi Lin had already looked at Xie Chonglou and said with a smile: "Sister Bao'er, I didn't expect to see you at this time, I heard that you came back last night, but I didn't see anyone who saw you, I didn't expect to see you here by such a coincidence." ”

Chi Lin's words sounded sincere, but when they fell into their ears, they were a little prickly.

Xie Chonglou didn't hear the implied meaning, and replied lightly: "I didn't expect to see Miss Chi Lin here, it's a coincidence, I should all come to see the gifts, so don't bother." ”

As she spoke, she beckoned to Mai Sui and the others on the side, preparing to leave.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Song Chenwan suddenly spoke: "Look at the gift? You're not going to pick up gifts in these places, are you? These places are antique streets, not to mention the price, but also the identification, can you understand? Don't buy a fake. ”

When Song Chenwan saw Xie Chonglou before, she already wanted to scold Xie Chonglou, but she still forcibly endured it, and now that Chi Lin was by her side, she inexplicably gained more courage, and she directly hardened up.

When Xie Chonglou heard Song Chenwan's words with disdain, the corners of his mouth hooked up a faint smile, but he looked at Chi Lin with some sarcasm: "Miss Chi Lin, it's better to take care of the people around you, don't let her bark indiscriminately, it will affect people's moods." ”

"How dare you say I'm a dog?"

Song Chenwan never thought that Xie Chonglou would dare to mock and be sarcastic, and on this occasion, she felt that she had lost face, and she couldn't wait to step forward and give Xie Chonglou a paw, her eyes widened.

"You want to think about this yourself, who is to blame?" In this regard, Xie Chonglou was not afraid at all, and glanced at Chi Lin in front of him, "Speaking of which, this really falls on your taste, and it's really ...... It's unpleasant. ”

Xie Chonglou didn't say anything more, and left the store with Mai Sui and the others.

Behind him, Chi Lin's voice could be heard reprimanding Song Chenwan.

"What is that?" Coming out of the shop, Mai Sui remembered what had just happened, frowned, and muttered, "That person doesn't look like he's easy to mess with, and he'll take advantage of others." ”

Xie Chonglou heard Mai Sui's words, and then looked at Mai Sui's expression at this time, and couldn't help but smile: "Haha, I didn't expect that you actually have such a unique opinion in this regard!" She is the adopted daughter of the Chi family. ”

For Chi Lin, Xie Chonglou used to feel bland.

She can do it peacefully, but Chi Lin, she is too ambitious!

Xie Chonglou thought of something, a dark glint crossed his eyes, the corners of his mouth hooked up a mocking smile, and then glanced at the wheat ear next to him who seemed to be frightened because of what she said, and said, "Don't worry, don't worry about her." ”

"But...... According to what you say, she grew up in Chi's family since she was a child, so she should have a certain understanding of this aspect, and this time she came directly to choose a gift, wouldn't she be more showy than you? ”

Mai Sui was a little worried: "You don't have theoretical knowledge in this area, in case you pick a fake one, even if your mind is there, it's useless." ”

"Don't worry."

Xie Chonglou smiled helplessly, tilted his head slightly, and found that Chi Lin and Song Chenwan were watching not far behind him, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a playful arc: "It's not fake, you don't need to worry, but today, I feel like there is a scene to be staged." ”

What play?

Mai Sui always felt that Xie Chonglou's words had a deep meaning, but what it was, I couldn't figure it out for a while, until later, Xie Chonglou entered another antique shop with her, and when she saw Chi Lin and Song Chenwan following behind her, Mai Sui seemed to feel something.

looked up at Xie Chonglou.

Xie Chonglou didn't seem to notice it, and looked directly at it in the entertainment store.

"Sister Bao'er, you should choose a gift for grandpa, I'll pick one for you!" After Chi Lin came in, she was still reserved at first, but when she saw Xie Chonglou later, she didn't pay attention to her at all, so she could only step forward by herself.

Song Chenwan sighed softly beside her: "Let Linlin pick it for you, even if you are now the daughter of the Chi family, you can't change it, you didn't even have the opportunity to contact these things." ”
