Chapter 17: Birthday Gifts
In fact, Murong Ziyu's words didn't sound too bad, but they were definitely not good words. If an ordinary woman heard it, it would already be good not to blush and cry, but Chu Peijin still agreed, and praised Murong Ziyu who was 'stirring trouble'!
Her move made the Murong sisters accept a little bit of their indifference to her. The woman who can do this without changing her face is either really stupid or the city government is relatively deep, and Murong Zining would rather believe that Chu Peijin is the latter.
Thinking of this, Murong Zining smiled slightly and said, "Miss Chu is really a wonderful person. I'll give you a post to invite you to my house to play, I hope the big girl can enjoy her face! ”
Chu Peijin accepted it calmly, "Peijin has always been relatively dull, if there is something inappropriate, I hope Miss Murong will bear with me at that time!" ”
Murong Ziyu couldn't help but want to say a few words, but when she raised her eyes, she saw Mrs. Wu Anhou coming to them, her heart couldn't help but skip a beat, and her face changed suddenly!
"Sister......
Before he finished speaking, Xia had already walked up to him with a smile on his face.
"Ouch, aren't these the two palm beads of the Rong Ting County Lord's family? Look, look, it's really the same, I almost thought I was dazzled when I looked at it! Ouch, Lord Rong Ting is really good at raising children, look at the two of you who really look like the people in the painting! Oh, this skin is so good, I look like the shelled egg! Look at this girl in our family, a yellow face as if she has eaten daylily all her life, balabala ......"
Chu Peijin was decisively shot!
In other words, she didn't like to eat daylily much in her previous life and this life!!
The corners of Murong Zining and Murong Ziyu's mouths twitched, and they suddenly regretted coming to talk to Chu Peijin. However, just now they clearly saw the Xia family leave? When exactly did she come back again? Today, on the birthday of the old lady of the Xia family, is it appropriate for her, who is a daughter, to walk around like this instead of helping the guests?
To tell the truth, in the circle of these noblewomen in Beijing, Xia's mouth is still relatively famous, once she talks about something, it will be endless, not to mention that her praise doesn't want money to pour out, ordinary people can't withstand her cannon-like praise, let alone two little girls?
"Well, that, I've seen Mrs. Wu Anhou! We still have a little business, so let's go first! ”
After Murong Zining finished speaking, he didn't wait for the Xia clan to respond, he nodded to Chu Peijin and pulled up Murong Ziyu, who was still dumbfounded, and hurriedly left, his steps completely lost the calmness and elegance he had when he came before.
Chu Peijin wanted to laugh, but she couldn't help it, she took two steps forward and naturally hugged Xia's arm, looked at her with a pair of star eyes, and said, "Mother, you are really amazing!" ”
I had only heard the story of 'a sharp mouth worth 100,000 soldiers' before, and I thought it was a bit exaggerated, and I often disagreed with it, but today I saw Xia's 'combat effectiveness' and immediately believed in that story.
Xia Shi was stunned for a moment, and reflexively wanted to shake off Chu Peijin's small hands, but after seeing her adoring look, a rare sense of pride was inexplicably born in his heart. Although he was a little uncomfortable in the face of Chu Peijin's sudden enthusiasm, he still endured it and finally didn't shake off those hands.
"Ahem! Cough! The birthday party is about to start, why don't you hurry over there? ”
After Xia said this, he picked up Chu Peiyi, who looked surprised, and hurriedly went to the main venue of the birthday banquet, taking the opportunity to shake off Chu Peijin's hand.
She was originally waiting for the old lady for their sisters to come over to celebrate their birthdays, but unexpectedly she saw the daughter of the general of Zhenguo talking to Chu Peijin, and she couldn't help but want to come over and see if she could build a bridge for the second girl, but she didn't expect that the two girls would find an excuse to leave, which made Xia a little depressed.
"Mother, it turns out that this is how you get along with your big sister...... I always thought you didn't like her! ”
Xia: "...... daughter, which eye did you see that your mother liked her?"
Chu Peijin didn't realize that Xia was wrong, she felt that it seemed good to have such a strong mother, so she decided to go back and find a way to conquer this 'mother'. With a goal, Chu Peijin was in a very good mood and greeted Cuizhu and Cuizhi, who were waiting in the distance, and rushed over with the two of them behind Xia.
When Chu Peijin passed, the birthday greeting was underway. First the people of the Xia family gave birthday gifts, and then they came to their grandchildren.
Chu Peijin originally thought it was relatively fresh, but she didn't feel interesting when she looked at it and saw that it was just a few things, and she almost forgot about it when she arrived at them.
Receiving Xia's somewhat displeased gaze, Chu Peijin smiled with a hint of apology, and then stepped forward to greet his grandfather. Chu Peixuan smiled faintly in her heart, waiting to see Chu Peijin's joke.
Chu Peijin's birthday gift, which had been prepared for many days, was ruined, and she really wanted to see her disgraced. Well, although they will lose face in Wu'an Houfu in this way, but ...... She still wants to see her lose face! That way, when she gets home, she never wants to go out again, right?
"Sister Xuan, don't bring the birthday gift yet!"
Chu Peijin's gentle and clear voice came into the eardrums, Chu Peixuan looked at Chu Peijin a little woodenly, and didn't understand what she meant for a while.
"Second sister? What's wrong with you? Chu Peijin raised her eyebrows slightly, didn't she? She's actually in a fugue too?
"Birthday gift?"
Chu Peixuan's apricot eyes widened, obviously a little confused.
Chu Peijin didn't seem to have seen her look a little out of shape, and still said gently: "That's right, didn't we give the birthday picture embroidered by our grandfather to you to keep?" Take it out, my grandfather is waiting to see it! ”
"Fairy Child's Birthday Offering?"
Everyone thought it was very fresh when they heard it, after all, what they had sent before was nothing more than some ginseng, eight treasure ornaments related to birthday celebrations, and they all set their eyes on Chu Peixuan for a while.
Chu Peixuan's face turned red, and she was a little flustered. How could things not be the way she thought?
"Oh? What is the fairy child offering a birthday picture? This is fresh, and I can see it quickly and let my grandmother see it. The old lady of the Xia family looked curious.
"If you go back to my grandmother, Sister Xuan and I have spent months for this embroidery."
After Chu Peijin finished speaking, seeing that Chu Peixuan still looked sluggish, she couldn't help but raise her good-looking eyebrows and look at Yahuan Lanzi. Lan Zi is Chu Peixuan's big girl, and the embroidery is in the brocade box in her hand.
Seeing this, Lan Zi hesitated for a moment, and finally handed the brocade box in his hand to his girl.
Chu Peixuan was holding the brocade box, and her face was pink for a while. She really wanted to step forward and tell everyone that this embroidery was embroidered by herself, but looking at the expectant eyes of her grandmother and grandfather, she finally gritted her teeth and stepped forward to open the brocade box, and handed over the embroidery with Chu Peijin.
This picture of the fairy child's birthday is embroidered with two beautiful boys with small buns, holding a huge golden plate with a happy face, which contains several peaches, in front of them, an old birthday star Weng is reaching out with a loving face, as if to take the peach, and as if to touch the little face of the fairy child.
The whole embroidery is brightly colored, and the characters are vivid and lovely, which makes people can't help but sigh!
"This embroidery is really good, it looks like a real boy from a distance!"
"Yes, I didn't expect Wu Anhou's two daughters to be so ingenious, much stronger than the girl in my family!"
"Oops! Not really! You see, the painting shows two fairy children, and it just so happens that they are two sisters giving their birthdays, which is very significant! ”
"The old lady of the Xia family is really blessed, and Wu Anhou is also blessed. Speaking of which, being able to teach such an outstanding daughter is really the credit of Mrs. Wu Anhou! ”
"yes, yes......"
Listening to the discussions of the surrounding guests, and then looking at the performance of the two granddaughters, the old lady and the old lady of the Xia family were really happy!
The grandchildren of the Xia family were really jealous and jealous when they saw it, and no one thought that it would be the two cousins of the second aunt's grandmother's family who would finally be in the limelight.
A birthday banquet gradually dispersed in the excitement, and with the end of the birthday banquet, the eldest girl and the second girl of Wu'an Houfu became famous in Kyoto for a while.
