50. Birthday gift
Wan Shi let go of his foot, endured the severe pain, walked to Xu Shu's side and presented the gift that Xu Shu was preparing for the Deng family, "This is a special soothing incense specially made by Miss for the old lady!" ”
Deng happily accepted it, "Grandpa Guo has a birthday, and I even have a gift to receive!" ”
Xu Shu said with a sweet smile, "I remember that in the summer, when you first use ice, you will have a night cough, so I added herbs to this fragrance to moisten the lungs and soothe the throat, and you can sleep more soundly at night!" ”
Deng Shi took the incense box, and his smile suddenly became a little more sincere, "It's still your intimacy!" ”
Wan Shi walked over with a smile, pressed his hand on Xu Shu's shoulder, glanced around the other children, and the daughter of the Xu family said to the Li family, "My daughter is more intimate than my son, I really envy Madame for having such a good daughter!" ”
Li Shi held Xu Hua and smiled unabatedly, "Sister Shu has always been such a sensible and considerate person!" ”
Xu Shu stood up and gave up her seat to Wan's, quietly avoiding Wan's touch, "Auntie, please take a seat!" "Don't wait for Wan's resignation, he took out the gift for Wan's again," this Guanyin statue is the master after the light and in front of the Buddha for several years, knowing that you are the most kind and compassionate person, so I asked the master, and I hope that the aunt will not dislike it! ”
The foot-high sandalwood Guanyin statue, the carving is exquisite, the image is lifelike, holding a net bottle of willow, a pair of compassionate eyes seem to reveal immeasurable wisdom and magical powers.
Because of the Empress Dowager's worship of the Buddha, most of the emperor's relatives also respect the Buddha, and Wan is no exception.
"You kid, I just mentioned it to you last time, and you actually took it to heart!" Although Wan's mouth was reproachful, his eyes were glued to the Buddha statue and he couldn't move away.
Xu Shu stood at the bottom of Wan's head with the support of Bangfeng, and pinched Bangfeng's hand vigorously the moment she was caught by Bangfeng, Bangfeng's nose was sore, and she wanted to cry.
"Miss Xu Jiu really has a heart, knowing that her aunt is looking for a statue of Guanyin, so she sent it over!" A delicate but yin and yang weird female voice came from far and near, Wan frowned almost invisibly, but Deng smiled and beckoned, "Are you here?" What about your mother? ”
The person who came was Deng Yarong, the fifth lady of the Deng family, who gave birth to two sons and a daughter after marrying into the Rongguo Mansion, and the daughter married the second son of her eldest brother, so Deng Yarong is both the niece and grandson of the Deng family and her granddaughter.
"I came on horseback first, and my mother and father were left behind!" Deng Yarong replied with a smile, and asked Wan Shi again, "I've seen my uncle!" ”
Wan nodded with a smile and helped Deng Yarong up, "Why are you still riding a horse on a hot day?" Look at this tired sweat! ”
Deng Yarong looked at her slightly wrinkled pleated dress, her face was slightly pale, and at this moment she suddenly remembered the hearty male voice, "But it's rare to see my cousin speechless!" Haha......"
"Big cousin!" Deng Yarong stomped her feet angrily, and was about to choke back, when she saw Qi Rui who appeared behind Qi Peng, she immediately restrained her temper, and called out in a low voice with the demeanor of a little daughter, "Fourth cousin!" ”
The second son of the Qi family asked the Deng family, the Wan family and others in turn, and Qi Peng was surprised when he saw Xu Shu, "When did the sister of the Xu family come?" He hurriedly turned his head to look at the next head, and sure enough, he saw Wang's Li and others, so he pulled Qi Rui to greet the two of them, Qi Rui shook off his brother's hand and turned his face, Qi Peng shook his head angrily.
Li's face couldn't hold back, and he got up and said, "I always hear Sister Shu say that the garden in the house is very exquisite, it's rare to come once, I'll take her for a good walk!" ”
The two grandchildren are here, and there is such an unclear marriage contract between Xu Shu and Qi Rui, it is really not suitable to meet, the Li family is so knowledgeable, and it is in the hands of the Deng family, "It's okay!" He also instructed the big girl who was close to her to say picturesquely, "I handed over the girl to you, you can lead her around!" ”
Ruhua was about to respond to "yes", but Wan Shi said, "Ruhua is a first-class use by your mother, how can you do without her, why don't you let Peng'er accompany you, he is in the garden every day, and he is more familiar with the garden!" ”
Deng was stunned, a little dissatisfied, but he couldn't not give Wan face in front of so many people, Li hesitated whether to refute on the grounds of non-compliance, but Qi Peng arched his hand and said, "It's still my mother who loves me, knowing that I love the scenery in the garden the most, and I am reluctant to leave for a moment, grandmother, that grandson will accompany the Xu family's sister to visit the garden!" ”
Qi Peng broke the siege, and Deng had no choice but to ease his face, "You can be careful, the girl is delicate, don't lead her under the sun!" ”
"My grandson saved it!" Qi Peng nodded with a smile, walked to Xu Shu with a limp, and smiled at her, Xu Shu seemed to be able to sense Qi Peng's smile, and turned around to "look" at him, Qi Peng couldn't help but be stunned, although it was separated by a cloth belt, but Xu Shu did "look" at himself.
Deng Shi instructed Xu Shu again, "After visiting the garden, I will ask Ruhua to prepare a chilled lotus seed soup for you!" ”
Xu Shu nodded with a smile and walked out after saluting everyone present, Li and the others also got up, Qi Peng walked quickly to the front to lead the way, and helped Xu Shu to walk behind, when passing by Qi Rui, Xu Shu, who had a very good ear, heard a clear "Heh, stinky blind man!" ”
The tone is one of endless contempt and even spit on, as if blindness is a great sin, an unforgivable sin!
Xu Shu's pace remained unchanged, and she walked slowly without squinting, and gradually walked away, as if she had heard the curse full of disgust.
Xu Wei has been peeking at him since Qi Rui entered the door, not because Qi Rui has any thoughts, but because Xu Wei knows that she is going to marry into the Qi family and marry Qi Rui, since she has the opportunity to take a good look at the person who may become her future husband, of course she must grasp it well.
It's just that Qi Rui's thin and even slightly short figure made Xu Wei pout, although Qi Rui also has a fair complexion and deep eyes, but the first impression he left on Xu Wei was short, so that when he went out, Xu Wei didn't remember what Qi Rui looked like, only remembered that he was short.
Xu Wan was peeking at Qi Rui, Xu Ting was also secretly looking at him, and even compared Qi Rui and Song Wencai in her heart.
When Song Wencai came to thank him, Xu Ting secretly went to see it, with a straight and straight figure, starry eyes and sword eyebrows, he was an extremely handsome young man, in terms of appearance, Song Wencai beat Qi Rui, but in terms of family background, Song Wencai lost Qi Rui again, and the two marriage contracts had their own advantages, Xu Ting couldn't help but hesitate in her heart.
Xu Wan glanced back at Qi Rui with infinite regret before going out, as if one more glance could make him look at him a little higher, but this glance was seen by the Li family, Li squinted and glared at Xu Wei fiercely, Xu Wei was so frightened that she hurriedly lowered her head, but she became ashamed in Li's eyes.
Looking at the little daughter who bowed her head, and then at the backs of the young boys and girls in front of her, Li also felt embarrassed.
