Chapter 49: The Gift
On this day, Granny Hua was in a mood and was personally teaching two girls to read in the study, and the old man Hua, who had gone far away, came back with a mule cart.
Hua Xi'er hurriedly took Xiao Qi to greet her: "Dad, you're back!" Tired or not? Hungry? ”
Granny Hua called Mrs. Zhao and told her to add a few more dishes today.
Old man Hua picked up a box from the mule cart and put it in front of Hua Xi'er: "Don't be tired, Dad brought a lot of fresh gadgets back this time." ”
Old Man Hua turned to Xiao Qi again: "Xiao Qi, you also have a share, take a look with your Aunt Xi, and go back and pick up a few things you like and bring them back to play." ”
The old man Hua is old and has a daughter, and he loves his daughter very much, and every time he goes out, he brings his daughter back with a bunch of things.
Hua Xi'er took Xiao Qi's hand: "Let's take the box to the house and take a look at it slowly." ”
Xiao Qi picked up the box and ran fast.
Hua Xi'er chased behind: "Slow down, slow down, wait for me." ”
Xiao Qi ran into Hua Xi'er's boudoir and put the box on the ground, and sat on the low wooden bench next to her.
Hua Xi'er walked to the side of the box, took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on Xiao Qi's forehead: "I know that you have a lot of strength, and you prefer to show off in front of me, I'm really angry." ”
Xiao Qi grinned: "Where is it shown, I am obviously in a hurry to pick a gift." ”
The two rummaged through the box together, and Hua Xi'er was very surprised when she pulled out two books: "My father finally remembered to buy me a sword book, but I begged him for a long time." ”
Xiao Qi looked over and saw that the covers of the two books were written on the fairy swordsmanship (top) and fairy swordsmanship (bottom).
Hua Xi'er opened the sword book and read a few pages, and sighed: "It's a pity, there is no sword at home." ”
Xiao Qi: "This thing is easy to do, I'll ask my father to help us make two wooden swords and practice first." Saying that, Xiao Qi picked up the sword book and flipped it a few times, and saw that there were beautiful pictures on it, and the movements looked like dancing, and he suddenly lacked interest.
Hua Xi'er: "If you use a peachwood sword, will it look like a dancing god?" ”
Xiao Qi smiled when she heard the dancing god, she remembered that a few days ago, Xiao Shi, the son of a wealthy family in the east, was sick and invited someone to dance the great god, that person was wearing strange clothes, wearing a mask, rattling a bell in one hand, and jumping with a peachwood sword in the other, which was quite similar to the movements on the sword book.
The two rummaged for a while, and Hua Xi'er found a piece of apricot-colored material and stuffed it into Xiao Qi's hand: "This color is tender, you can wear it to make sure it looks good." ”
This piece of apricot-colored material is slippery to the touch, and it is very expensive at first glance, Xiao Qi doesn't want such an expensive thing, so he puts the material on Hua Xi'er: "I see that this color makes Aunt Xi more beautiful." ”
Xiao Qi scratched his head: "What's that word called?" People are better than flowers, yes, people are better than flowers. ”
Hua Xi'er gently scraped Xiao Qi's nose with her hand: "You little sycophant." ”
After a while, Xiao Qi flipped to a small box, which contained seven or eight beautiful silk flowers of different colors, and picked up two to play: "I like these two silk flowers very much, Aunt Xi, can I give one to Pear Blossom?" ”
Hua Xi'er: "Yes! I still have a few small clothes, so I'll find them out and give them to Pear Blossom. ”
Xiao Qi was very happy to hear that there were still clothes for Pear Blossom, so he said: "Aunt Xi, you are really good, I will definitely work hard to practice kung fu and grow up to be the most powerful woman in our Great Xia Dynasty." ”
Soon Hua Xi'er took out a few clothes from the box containing the clothes and handed them to Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi happily hugged them in her arms and said: "Pear Blossom often tells me that Aunt Xi is beautiful and her clothes are also very good-looking, and she will definitely be very happy if these clothes are given to her." ”
Hua Xi'er: "In terms of beauty, which one of the ten miles and eight villages can compare to her, as the poem says - pretty like a peach in three springs, she is as white as snow, and she is also very eye-catching in tattered clothes." The next time you go to town with her, be careful, and ask her to smear some pot ash or something to blacken her face before going out, I see a lot of words in the book that there are plots of bullies robbing beauties on the street. ”
Xiao Qi nodded very seriously: "Aunt Xi, I remember, Aunt Xi is beautiful, smart and kind-hearted, I don't know who is cheaper to marry in the future?" ”
Hua Xi'er made a gesture to hit her: "You bad girl." ”
Xiao Qi ran out of the house with something in his arms, and shouted in his mouth: "You can't catch up with me, you can't catch up with me." ”
Granny Hua stopped Xiao Qi at the gate of the courtyard: "Your grandfather Hua brought a lot of mille-feuille cakes back this time, and I asked Grandma Zhao to bring you two packets to take home to eat." ”
Xiao Qi: "Okay, thank you Granny Hua." ”
