Chapter 200: Choosing a Gift
Yuchen shook his head: "I really don't know." ”
Seeing that An Xia was still looking at him suspiciously, he pushed her shoulder and walked forward: "Okay, don't think about it, my mother won't eat you anyway, you'll know when the time comes." ”
An Xia was driven by Yuchen to the place where she met Jiang Yan, which was actually an import mall nearby.
As soon as she got out of the car, she saw Jiang Yan standing at the entrance of the mall, although it was only a side face, but it could be seen that it still attracted the attention of countless people.
I thought Yu Shuyi was here today, but fortunately, today is Thursday, even he needs to go to class.
"Auntie."
Jiang Yan turned around and saw An Xia a lot of enthusiasm the moment she saw it.
"Xia Xia, I can be regarded as seeing you, let's go and go in with me, I just have something to look for you."
"What's the matter?" She was pushed forward, still confused.
"Aren't you going to officially go home today to see Yuchen's grandparents, I just want to prepare a gift for the two old people, but I don't know what to buy, so I'll let you give me an idea." Jiang Yan smiled.
An Xia didn't think it was strange at first glance, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that if Jiang Yan really lacked people to buy gifts, why should she look for herself?
Wouldn't it be better to find someone who knows what the two old people like?
She's the one who doesn't know anything.
"But ......"
"Alright, let's go inside." Jiang Yan had already pushed her in before she could refuse, so that An Xia didn't even have a chance to refuse.
There is a lot of stuff in the mall.
Although it is an imported commodity, in Anxia's view, there is no big difference from domestic goods, but it is not as exquisite as other shopping malls, but the main focus here is imported goods, and they are sold very expensive.
She casually looked at it and found that the price of a tie was prohibitive.
However, this price is just for her, and there is still no pressure on Jiang Yan.
"What do you think of this scarf?" And Jiang Yan was indeed very serious in her selection, and it could be seen that she was really very attentive to this dinner.
"I don't think the color is too heavy, a little unsuitable for the elderly." The dark green silk scarf looks a little too strong, and even young people may not be able to hold it, let alone an old man.
"Then you'd be wrong, she likes these heavy things." Jiang Yan said with a smile.
An Xia thought for a while: "Grandma's temperament is indeed different, if it is grandma, it seems that you can really try it." ”
"yes, that's what I said." Jiang Yanxiao's eyes, which had been recognized, narrowed straight.
"What about the old lady's gift?"
The old lady's gift has been decided, but the more difficult thing to get is the old lady's gift, which is why Jiang Yan called An Xia to come.
She didn't know much about the old lady.
Although it has been decades since she got married, the time spent with the real family is less than a month, and the old lady used to live abroad, and some of the standing gifts are prepared by Yuchen and she doesn't need to worry about it at all.
But this time, in order to show his sincerity, of course, he still has to choose carefully.
It's just that what the old lady likes, that's all according to their own opinions.
As an old lady, there are naturally countless people who inquire about his preferences, but I have never seen the old lady prefer anything.
With the mentality of giving it a try, she thought maybe Anxia would know something.
"Did Yuchen usually tell you what the old lady likes?" Thinking of this, she looked at Anxia tentatively.
An Xia thought about it and quickly shook her head: "I didn't say it at all." ”
"But I think that's what the elderly generally like, such as antiques and the like." Is the Yu family not suitable for historians, the possibility of liking antiques should be higher.
"No, the old lady has never shown affection for anything like that."
"I think antiques are too simple." Jiang Yan muttered to herself.
An Xia was a little speechless, they were already antiques, where was there anything simple.
"Then why don't you send a painting? Last time I passed by the old lady's room, I saw a lot of landscape paintings in it, maybe he still likes to paint. ”
Jiang Yan: "Those paintings were painted by the old lady herself. ”
Anxia was shocked: "What? Those were all drawn by the old lady herself? ”
"Well, I once heard Yuchen's grandmother mention that the old lady's level of painting was very unusual when she was young, and she once thought about whether she had to rely on painting to eat, but of course she didn't succeed in the end."
"I see." An Xia nodded, thoughtful, "Then let's send the old lady pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, I think the person who paints should like it." ”
Jiang Yan's eyes lit up: "You're right, it's decided." ”
She hadn't thought of it before, but as soon as she heard Anxia say this, she thought it was indeed a good idea.
"I thought of a place where the old lady should be able to have something to like."
An Xia thought, since he had already found what he wanted to buy, he shouldn't need to take care of it too much next.
"You come with me." Just as An Xia was thinking about how to leave, Jiang Yan grabbed An Xia's hand and said.
An Xia was a little speechless for a moment, but looking at An Xia's eager eyes, she could agree.
An Xia thought that it should take a lot of time, but to An Xia's surprise, the store Jiang Yan said was actually a few meters away, and it didn't take long to arrive.
It's just that unlike Anxia's imagination, this is not like a store, but more like a very elegant place.
As soon as she entered, An Xia could faintly smell the ink fragrance inside, faint, the taste was different, and she could clearly smell a fragrance.
In addition to this, there are also styles of paper.
Looking closer, she realized for the first time that there were so many differences between paper.
There is a paper pattern that looks more delicate than other papers, and when you touch it, it feels like mutton fat, and it is hard to imagine how smooth it would be if you wrote on it.
Needless to say, the types of brushes in this are simply shocking to Anxia, making her understand that she didn't know anything before, and she never knew that there were so many kinds of pens, and each one had other classifications.
There is a pen in the place where she looks, it is made of jadeite, and it is very valuable at first glance, although there is no price below, but Anxia can guess even if she guesses, the price is not expensive.
After all, in addition to the pen carved from jadeite, it was also engraved with patterns, a long dragon tail was vividly depicted, and the scales on it were painted very realistically, and not only that, but also different tones, light to deep, she wondered if this was a pen after all.
It looks like a lot of bells and whistles, but it's also very expensive.
"That pen is the treasure of the town shop here, and it is not for sale." Jiang Yan saw that An Xia had been staring at the pen and said.
An Xia nodded: "At a glance, you can know that it is particularly precious." ”
It should be antique.
"You can see at a glance that although the pen is beautiful but not practical, so the store usually just shows it to people, and does not sell it, I heard that it seems to be a family heirloom, and it has been passed down for many years."
As soon as Jiang Yan said this, An Xia looked at this small shop, so the store they came in was actually a very well-established store.
"Mrs. Yu, I haven't seen you for a long time, what kind of wind blew you." Before An Xia could react, a thin voice came from behind her, An Xia turned around, the woman was wearing a cheongsam, and the curves of her body were perfect as all girls dreamed of.
Although the voice is a little thin, it is extremely gentle when he speaks in a low voice.
Surprisingly, that face is unremarkable and has no features that can be remembered, but it is very attractive.
There is a butterfly in the corner of the eye, as if it is about to spread its wings and fly high.
An Xia looked at that face in a daze, and the dark red color was terrifying.
"Who is this?" The proprietress noticed Anxia's presence at a glance and looked at her with a little curiosity.
"This is my son's girlfriend and future daughter-in-law." Jiang Yan took An Xia's hand and said generously, letting the proprietress look at it.
The proprietress lit up her eyes: "It seems that you have been doing good things lately, congratulations." ”
Jiang Yan smiled softly and gently, looking very reserved: "Thank you." When the time comes, I will remember to invite you to drink the wedding wine. ”
An Xia bowed slightly to her, which was regarded as a greeting.
Although the two of them looked pretty good, inexplicably, Anxia just felt a-for-tat aura.
That kind of smiling and smiling look is not what she looks like?
Two people, you say a word, I say a word, you come and go.
"Ahem." If she hadn't interrupted, it was estimated that the two of them would have been able to continue talking like this.
"Auntie, aren't you here to buy pen, ink, paper, and inkstone?"
Jiang Yan was stunned, and then remembered that she really seemed to be here to buy something, but it seemed that she was a little bit upset just now.
Jiang Yan smiled a little embarrassedly, she seemed to be completely aware of this.
Although the proprietress in the store is indeed a bit tricky, it is undeniable that the things inside are indeed of the best quality, and the things she bought are indeed satisfactory to Jiang Yan.
"Now that everything is gone, I'm finally relieved."
"Then I'll go back first?"
Jiang Yan said with a smile: "I've been walking for so long today, I'm tired, otherwise let's have a meal together before you go back?" ”
"No, I'm not hungry at all." Ansha said.
She really wasn't hungry, but her legs were a little sore after walking for so long.
"Let's go, be polite with me, kid."
So in the following time, An Xia accompanied Jiang Yan to eat something before returning home.
