Chapter 97 Rosewood Hairpin (Courtesy of Q Stupid Fan Fool D)
Two months passed peacefully.
In June, the upper class society of Z City is about to hold a banquet that is not big or small.
The wife of Huang Yongping, the number one in Z City, is about to turn 40, and Huang Yongping is going to hold a small birthday party for her to celebrate her 40th birthday.
Originally, such a thing would not have anything to do with a small citizen like Lin Xiwei.
But that night, she received a strange call.
"Hello, is this Lin Xiwei?" A gentle voice came from the other end of the line.
Lin Xi asked suspiciously, "Yes, who are you?" ”
The other party apologized, "I'm Yu Xiaosheng, the aunt who presented you with the award on the night of the school anniversary, do you remember?" ”
Lin Xiwei hurriedly greeted respectfully: "President Yu, hello! ”
She was very surprised, she didn't expect the president of the music association of Z City to call at this time.
What's the matter with her looking for herself? Lin Xiwei's heart was full of doubts.
"You can just call me Aunt Yu." Yu Xiaosheng said gently, "I took the liberty to call you so late, because I wanted to ask you for something." ”
Lin Xiwei looked terrified, "Aunt Yu, please speak!" ”
Yu Xiaosheng said softly: "Tomorrow night is my birthday, I miss your piano sound very much, and I want to invite you to come over and play a song, are you willing?" ”
Lin Xi asked slightly puzzled: "Aunt Yu, I'm just a wild man, there should be a lot of people you know, why did you think of letting me go?" ”
Yu Xiaosheng laughed softly: "Silly boy, you underestimate yourself too much. Your comprehension of music is no worse than anyone your aunt knows. Auntie values your spirituality towards music, which is something that is innate, and it cannot be achieved by hard work. ”
Lin Xi blushed slightly involuntarily, "Auntie, you are exalting me too much." I'm not professionally trained, I'm all playing on my own, I'm afraid I'll mess up your party. ”
Yu Xiaosheng gently reassured: "It's okay, the guests present are all friends of my aunt, you can just play casually, and no one will laugh at you if you make a mistake." ”
Lin Xi saw that the other party was indeed sincerely invited, and it would be too rude to refuse, so he apprehensively agreed.
The next night, Lin Xiwei came to the Four Seasons Hotel early.
The Four Seasons Hotel is the highest-class banquet venue in Z City, and it is full of opulence.
The dazzling huge crystals and so on, all the comings and goings are rich.
Previously, Lin Xiwei had never been here.
At this moment, she grabbed her hands and cramped into the ornate revolving door of the hotel, ready to go to an unknown banquet.
On the smooth and visible floor tiles, Lin Xi saw his anxious face slightly.
She looked a little dazed, wondering if it was a wrong decision for her to agree to the trip.
This place is so alien to me, is I really qualified to play the piano to these high-ranking big people?
Lin Xiwei's heart was full of uncertainty.
She was a little reluctant, but thinking that she had already promised the other party, it was too rude to temporarily miss the appointment.
Lin Xi gritted his teeth slightly, but still walked into the elevator and went up to the third floor.
In front of the Blossom Fugui Banquet Hall on the third floor, a waiter was standing respectfully at the door, waiting for Lin Xiwei's arrival.
This is the person who Yu Xiaosheng arranged early in the morning to wait here to receive Lin Xiwei.
At this time, it was still early, and the banquet had not officially begun.
The waiter took Lin Xiwei to the lounge and asked her to rest for a while, and then go up to play the opening song when the banquet began.
Lin Xi nodded slightly, sat quietly on the sofa and waited.
Soon, the host of the banquet came to the lounge in full costume.
Yu Xiaosheng came to Lin Xiwei with an apologetic face, "Xiwei, I'm sorry, Auntie was busy just now, so I neglected you." ”
Lin Xi stood up slightly frightened, "Aunt Yu, you are too polite, you must be very busy today, don't worry about me." ”
"By the way, this is a little caution I prepared, please don't dislike it, I wish you a happy birthday!" Lin Xiwei took out the birthday gift he had prepared from his satchel and handed it to Yu Xiaosheng embarrassedly.
"Thank you!" Yu Xiaosheng took it with a smile, "Silly boy, I'm very happy that you can come to Auntie, Auntie doesn't care about this." ”
But she still happily opened the gift, and inside the box was a delicate red sandalwood hairpin.
This was hand-carved by Lin Xiwei himself, and he was originally going to give it to his mother as a birthday gift, but he didn't expect it to come in handy in advance.
"Oh my God, it's so beautiful!" Yu Xiaosheng's face was full of surprise, "This hairpin is so chic, Auntie has never seen it!" ”
Lin Xi said shyly, "This is carved by myself, there should be no similar style outside." ”
She has loved tinkering with these handicrafts since she was a child, and after she went to junior high school, she became obsessed with the ancient style and began to learn to make hairpins by herself.
I didn't expect to learn a few years of study, but I learned a little bit of the way.
Yu Xiaosheng looked at her in surprise, "You did it yourself?" ”
Lin Xi nodded slightly embarrassedly, "The gift is too simple, auntie don't dislike it." ”
"How so!" Yu Xiaosheng said repeatedly, "This is the best gift Auntie has received over the years." ”
She took Lin Xiwei's hand and looked at him with joy, "Good boy, how many surprises do you have to give Auntie!" Auntie has really never seen a child as spiritual as you, Auntie really likes you so much. ”
Lin Xi's small face blushed slightly, and she lowered her head and looked at her toes embarrassedly.
Yu Xiaosheng really likes this delicate red sandalwood hairpin, she has long been tired of those gold, silver and jade objects, but she has never been able to find a hairpin that suits her heart, so she has to make do with it.
I didn't expect to receive such a big surprise on my fortieth birthday.
She immediately took off the jade hairpin in her bun and inserted the chic rosewood hairpin in her hand with great vigour.
Lin Xi looked at her with a worried face, "Auntie, I'm afraid this hairpin is not worthy of your clothes." ”
Yu Xiaosheng's silky satin cheongsam is not ordinary at first glance.
Lin Xi was slightly afraid that her humble hairpin would lower her taste.
Yu Xiaosheng smiled and took her hand, "Silly boy, haven't you heard of a saying that a thousand dollars are hard to buy?" Auntie likes these spiritual things the most, even if she takes all the hairpins in Auntie's jewelry box to exchange for your wooden hairpin, Auntie is unwilling. ”
Lin Xi looked up at Yu Xiaosheng slightly, and his heart was full of emotion.
She thought that even if she accepted this hairpin in front of her, she would throw it in the corner and never ignore it again, but she didn't expect her to like it so much.
She really didn't expect Yu Xiaosheng to be such a special woman, no wonder Huang Yongping would love her for decades.
Such a unique woman is indeed worth savoring for all men for a lifetime.
