Chapter 190: Birthday Gift
Wu Xinping held her cheeks with her hands, she blinked her eyes and thought for a while, looked at Mrs. Wu, and said, "It's all up to my mother." ”
Mrs. Wu suddenly smiled, her own daughter's meaning was obviously also like the Sheng family.
On the Sheng family's side, the guests were all sent away, Shen Yu rubbed her sore shoulders and instructed her subordinates to clean up the aftermath.
Xu Xinyue sent a birthday gift on behalf of the second room, and the two went to Heshoutang together.
Gifts from outsiders will be registered in the warehouse, and the old lady will slowly sort them out and wait for the right opportunity to return the gift. The gifts of the juniors of the Sheng family are given separately.
When she arrived at Heshoutang, Xu Xinyue presented the box and said with a smile: "Grandmother, this gift was prepared by me and Yanwei together. I made up the hand, the thing was bought by Yanwei, and the second grandmother took it to the Buddha to open the light, hoping that she could bless you with good health and everything went well. ”
Inside the rosewood box is a string of gold-inlaid jade Pixiu bracelets, which are carved in gold with a large amount of gold, connected by jade carved beads in the middle, and finally threaded with red woven silk threads. It is heavy in the hand, and the golden one is very eye-catching.
It can be seen that this gift is prepared with care.
Compared with the vase ornaments of previous years, this gift was more pleasing to the old lady, and she took the Pixiu bracelet in her hand and played with it, and said, "You have bothered." ”
When the second lady was in charge, she was reluctant to spend such a large price to prepare a birthday gift for the old lady. Now that she has been sent to Zhuangzi in the countryside to 'recuperate', Xu Xinyue has power in her hands, and she does things according to her own style.
It's only been more than half a month, Xu Xinyue's complexion is already very good, her cheeks are ruddy, and her body is not as thin as before. She wore a pale pink slanted shirt and a skirt of the same color, which made her skin white and tender, and her temperament was gentle.
The old lady couldn't help but think in her heart, from the outside, Xu Xinyue was no different from before she was sick, but what was missing from her body, she would never be able to have children in the future.
A woman's happiness in this life is in her husband in the first half of her life, and in her children in the second half of her life.
The old lady sighed in her heart, and ordered Tao's mother to take out some new fabrics from the warehouse and give them to Xu Xinyue as a return gift.
Xu Xinyue stroked the cloth in her hand and said, "Grandmother, don't just look at the gifts I prepared, the second brother and sister-in-law must have prepared them carefully." This fine Hangzhou silk is just used to make summer clothes, but you can't just give me one. ”
The old lady nodded and opened Sheng Yanqing's box, which was a blue jade teacup, warm to the touch, no variegation throughout the body, delicate and elegant.
Sheng Yanqing's gift is similar to previous years, the things are one in a hundred, they are worth a lot of money, and they can't find anything wrong.
It's just that although things are expensive, they are not as attentive as Xu Xinyue, and they are not as good as the old lady.
The old lady praised a little, and went to get another box.
Mother Tao saw that the old lady's face was not good, and said with a smile: "This birthday banquet is so beautiful, and the guests are all boasting of new ideas, this gift must be good." ”
Shen Yu put down the teacup in her hand, and she was also a little curious. At this birthday banquet, she was too busy to touch the ground, so the gift was handed over to Sheng Yanqing to prepare.
She also wanted to know what Sheng Yanqing had prepared for her.
The old lady opened the box, with a look of surprise and two doubts, she stared at the contents of the box for a long time before carefully holding out a small glass bottle.
"Ayu, this is ......," the old lady looked up and asked.
The turquoise transparent glass bottle contains some liquid, and the bottle is only as tall as a finger, which looks very delicate.
In this era, glass items were not common, and the old lady saw it for the first time, and thought it was jadeite gemstones.
Shen Yu was about to speak, Xu Xinyue said, "Old lady, this is perfume." The girls in the city like to use this, spraying it on their bodies. ”
The old lady held the bottle and looked at it carefully for a while, and said with a smile: "Sixty-two, I didn't expect to be as fashionable as you young people." ”
Shen Yu smiled and agreed, "Grandmother is old." ”
Xu Xinyue took the small bottle, she held down the nozzle, and skillfully sprayed it into the air twice, and the faint fragrance spread in the living room.
Listening to Xu Xinyue, the old lady and Mother Tao didn't know what this perfume was, and they thought that it was in a bottle like mint, and they could smell it when they opened it.
Smelling the fragrance around her, the old lady's originally stretched brows suddenly wrinkled, she covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and coughed heavily.
Tao's mother panicked: "How can this have the fragrance of flowers, the old lady has rhinitis, and she can't smell these fragrances." ”
The faces of the people in the room all changed, and Shen Yu looked at Sheng Yanqing, but saw him shake his head gently.
Mother Tao took the handkerchief and tried to dispel the aroma around the old lady, and said, "Quickly help the old lady to the inner room, come here, go and ask the doctor." ”
Heshoutang was suddenly in a mess, Shen Yu wanted to go over to help, but Mother Tao said coldly: "Grandma, you have a fragrance on your body, come back after changing your clothes." ”
The sound of the old lady sneezing came from the inner room, and the sneezing was so urgent that the old lady was a little out of breath.
Obviously, Mother Tao blamed Shen Yu for causing the old lady's rhinitis, she went in and out, and never gave Shen Yu a good face.
Xu Xinyue came over with a pot of water and said, "Sister-in-law, go back first." You are also unintentional, who knew that the old lady would be allergic to the smell of flowers? She won't blame you. ”
The servants were busy coming in and out, and Shen Yu couldn't help, so she had to lead Hexiang out.
Sheng Yanqing followed and said, "This perfume was not prepared by me, maybe it was the same as the box, and the next person made a mistake." I've had someone look it up, don't worry, I'll explain it to my grandmother. ”
Because of Wu Xinping's matter, Shen Yu was still holding her breath in her heart, she sighed slightly, and said, "Explain what, say that I didn't even prepare the birthday gift myself?" That would only make Grandmother angrier. ”
When she opened the gift box, Shen Yu didn't question it, she mistakenly thought that Sheng Yanqing was preparing perfume for her. If you talk about it now, it will only get darker and darker.
"It's my fault, my grandmother wants to blame me, and she should scold me." Sheng Yanqing said, "You've been busy with the birthday banquet these days, and it's nothing to ask me to prepare gifts." ”
Shen Yu raised her eyes, glanced at Sheng Yanqing seriously, and smiled coldly: "You help me prepare?" Who am you? Our relationship, why do you want to prepare a gift for me? ”
Shen Yu's tone was a little angry.
Sheng Yanqing was stunned for a moment, and when he saw that Shen Yu was leaving, he subconsciously wanted to stop him, Shen Yu turned around, she suppressed her anger and said: "Don't mention this matter in the future, don't worry about it anymore, I will go and explain it to my grandmother." I shouldn't have asked you to help me from the beginning, think about it, the second master of the Sheng family, how could he take such a trivial matter to heart? It's good to be mistaken, and if there is any joke, I deserve it! ”
