Chapter 50: Intriguing Craft
Joey, who was the closest, couldn't help but hold his breath.
The congratulatory gift sent by Zhou Chengyan turned out to be not a calligraphy or painting, opened, just a layer of plain yarn as thin as cicada wings and light as smoke, embroidered with a strong pen longevity character, I don't know what silk thread is used, Ambilight, ingenious.
But that's chic at best.
The most amazing thing is that if you mention it, you can see those patterns through the sunlight, in fact, they are all one after another longevity characters, splashing ink on different fonts, casting an amazing work of art.
"Oh my God! How did this happen...... "Rao was well-informed, and they were shocked!
This is simply a miracle, the crystallization of human wisdom!
"Chengyan ......" Mrs. Zhou raised her hand as if she wanted to touch it, but she was afraid of breaking it, so she endured it, "How did you do it?" ”
Zhou Chengyan smiled: "I happened to hear people talk about such a lost craft, thinking that grandma you might like it, so I found someone to make such a longevity map." Grandma, do you like it? ”
"I like it!" Mrs. Zhou nodded again and again, overjoyed: "I like it!" ”
She raised her voice and commanded, "Send this gift to my room." ”
Someone boldly asked: "Zhou Shao, how did such a thin gauze be embroidered?" ”
"This is no ordinary yarn." A learned person recognized it and explained: "Only an extremely rare silkworm in ancient times could spit out this kind of silk, which could be woven as light as a cloud, but extremely tough, and it is said that it was not even afraid of fire and water, and at that time, it was also a treatment that only the royal family could enjoy." It's just that more than 2,000 years ago, this silkworm was already extinct. Zhou Shao, how did you do it? ”
The man's eyes were full of longing light, and he looked eager to pounce on it immediately and touch the feel of the hundred longevity diagram.
Zhou Chengyan glanced at Zhou Chenghao, whose face was even darker, and raised his eyebrows, "With more effort, you can naturally do it." ”
"How can such a thing be done with a little effort?" Mrs. Zhou said angrily: "Chengyan, you really have a heart." ”
The people below followed suit, saying that Mrs. Zhou was really blessed, and the two grandsons were more filial than the other.
In the sound of compliments, Zhou Chenghao said coldly: "The gift of the banquet is really eye-opening, I don't know what good things my younger brothers and sisters have prepared, it is better to take them out together, let us open our eyes today." ”
The smile on Qiao Ai's face froze slightly.
She could feel the obvious hostility from Zhou Chenghao, the two brothers were not compatible, and it was indeed in line with the rumors.
Everyone's eyes fell on Qiao Ai, and Qiao Ai smiled generously: "Big brother, what he said is too polite." I only found out about my grandmother's birthday not long ago, even if I chose carefully, but it was a little too late in time, and I was satisfied that my birthday gift was not laughed at by everyone. ”
Zhou Chenghao sneered coldly: "It's really a husband and a wife." "The openings are carefully chosen.
"Of course." Zhou Chengyan hugged Qiao Ai's slender waist, raised his eyebrows and said, "Our husband and wife have a natural tacit understanding. Big brother, you haven't even talked about love, so you naturally don't know what it's like to feel. ”
His big show of affection naturally reminds people of the rumors they heard a few days ago: it is said that Zhou Chengyan not only announced the marriage of the two in public, but also acted resolutely, so that a family that only said a few bad things about Qiao Ai became famous directly from City A, and now it seems that the rumors are really true.
For a while, everyone looked at Joe anew.
Zhou Chenghao's body was even more cold, and his gloomy eyes swept over Zhou Chengyan and the two, Zhou Chengyan raised his eyebrows, and was even more provocative. 90 look
Zhou Chenghao said coldly: "What kind of birthday gift is it, don't sell it to your younger brothers and sisters." ”
When Qiao Ai heard this, he took out a box made of sandalwood and a few strong bamboos to decorate the brocade box, and sent it to Mrs. Zhou, smiling Yan Yan, "Grandma, I want to give you a birthday gift, I hope you like it." ”
Mrs. Zhou took it with a smile: "What you give grandma likes, too." ”
In just a few days, she knew that Qiao Ai could not prepare a birthday gift as generous as those two brothers, and she had secretly decided in her heart that no matter what it was, she would show that she liked Qiao Ai's gift the most.
Qiao Ai continued: "I heard that grandma you have the habit of practicing calligraphy every day, so I specially chose this paperweight. ”
Mrs. Zhou smiled and nodded, raised her hand to open it, and had already thought about how to show surprise later.
Then, the look on her face froze.
The people around her were startled, thinking that Mrs. Zhou had a physical problem, so they hurriedly surrounded her.
Qiao Ai also asked urgently, "Grandma, how are you?" Are you okay? ”
Mrs. Zhou grabbed Qiao Ai's hand hard, because of excitement, her hand was even trembling constantly, "Qiao Ai, this paperweight...... Where did you get this paperweight? ”
"I found it in an antique shop where I walked for two days. I thought the look was chic, so I bought it for you. Joe was a little nervous, "Yes...... Is there something wrong? ”
"Nope." Mrs. Zhou shook her head slowly, her fingers gently stroked the paperweight, and her eyes were full of nostalgic softness: "This paperweight is my mother's heirloom, but it was lost during the turmoil of the Republic of China, and my father's biggest regret before his death was that he couldn't find it back." Over the years, I have never given up searching, but unfortunately I have never found anything. ”
She looked at Qiao Ai, "I never thought it would be Qiao Ai who sent it back to me on such a day." ”
Qiao Aiwan never expected that the paperweight he chose would have such a origin, and the whole person was stunned.
Old Mrs. Zhou held Qiao Ai's wrist, "Ai Ai, you are really the lucky star of my Zhou family!" ”
Qiao Ai was flattered and said, "I just happened to find it by luck." ”
"I haven't found it for nearly a hundred years, but you found it in just a few days, doesn't this mean that you have a relationship with your grandmother and the Zhou family?" Mrs. Zhou said unrefusively.
The people on one side followed: "Mrs. Zhou, congratulations on having such a good granddaughter-in-law, why do you say that I don't have half your life?" The grandsons are all proud of the heavens, and the granddaughter-in-law is also so good......"
Mrs. Zhou smiled happily.
She asked Zhou Chengyan and Zhou Chenghao to entertain the guests, and she left Qiao Ai by her side.
Zhou Chengyan was slightly dissatisfied and said, "Grandma, Ai Ai is my person." ”
The words elicited a good-natured laugh.
Qiao Ai grinded his teeth fiercely: "Grandma, don't pay attention to him, I'll accompany you." She whispered to Zhou Chengyan: "Grandma's birthday banquet, you should be more restrained, don't mess around." ”
Zhou Chengyan hooked his lips with a smile: "Then you come here." ”
Joey thought he had something to tell him, and passed stupidly.
