Chapter 368: Gifts
Bai put his only hope on the daughter he didn't like very much.
She is not patriarchal, but because this daughter was not born to her.
Miss Zhou has always been timid and uneasy in the face of her powerful mother-in-law. Seeing Bai Shi look at it, the fear in his heart was magnified a hundred times.
She spoke a little unfavorably: "I gave Mrs. Yuanhou a certain amount of preparation, and prepared some small pieces made by myself." My level is not as good as Mrs. Dingyuan, please don't dislike it. β
Miss Zhou is now not only afraid of the Bai family, but also afraid of Su Zhaoning.
She once had a good relationship with Liu Anxin, and this Liu Anxin targeted Mrs. Dingyuan. Miss Zhou was very afraid that the other party would turn over this old account with herself.
Su Zhaoning actually didn't remember where he had seen this Zhou girl. Although she has always had a good memory, she naturally doesn't pay attention to these inconsequential things.
Liu Anxin embarrassed herself that day, and even designed herself, so it was Liu Anxin who was unfriendly from beginning to end, and what did it matter to Miss Zhou beside her?
Therefore, Su Zhaoning took Miss Zhou's brocade box, opened it in front of everyone, and then replied sincerely: "Thank you." β
Miss Zhou breathed a sigh of relief.
Bai glanced at the things that his daughter had preparedβhand-embroidered fans, children's clothes, and shoes and socks for both adults and children.
Well, not quite satisfactorily.
The main thing is that there are two worse bottoms.
Thinking of this, Bai couldn't help but glare at his two sons.
Zhou Ruoqian looked aggrieved. took out his daughter's close-fitting shoes, God knows how reluctant he was.
Zhou Ruoshen also felt that he had sent it right. He handed the sachet to Su Zhaoning again and said, "Sister, just accept it, this is a little caution for my brother." β
Su Zhaoning really doesn't care about the value of gifts, but things like sachets are too easy to be extended to other things.
Although she and Zhou Ruoshen have the name of brother and sister, they are only brother and sister after all.
Su Zhaoning smiled and said, "I understand the eldest brother's intentions." It's just that I already have a lot of these sachets. will not take away the love of the big brother. β
Zhou Ruoshen didn't understand, and insisted on saying: "This is what kind of love." You just take it. β
The Bai family, who was on the side, also thought of Su Zhaoning's concerns. The eldest son was so unconscious, she had no choice but to say directly: "How can a man give a woman a sachet, what is the reason for saying it." β
"Where am I a sachet?" Zhou Ruoshen felt inexplicable, just now Su Zhaoning's refusal, he only regarded it as a kind word, and he didn't pay attention to the word sachet that Su Zhaoning said.
Listening to his mother's emphasis, Zhou Ruoshen fully understood that he had been misunderstood.
He ripped the sachet open to reveal its contents: "What kind of sachet is this, this is a money bag." I only got a 5,000-tael silver ticket for my sister. Buy whatever you like. β
Bai instantly felt that the eldest son was very young. This gift is indeed very good.
Bai took the sachet from Zhou Ruoshen's hand and put it in Su Zhaoning's arms: "This is your eldest brother's heart, don't shirk." We're a family in the future. β
Su Zhaoning originally wanted to refuse. After all, five thousand taels of silver is a lot. But Bai's last sentence was completely intolerable to her refusal, and Su Zhaoning could only salute and thank Zhou Ruoshen.
The gifts of the eldest brother and sister have been accepted, and the gift of the second brother will naturally be accepted.
Su Zhaoning took the initiative to take the brocade box in Zhou Ruoqian's hand and thanked: "Thank you second brother for cutting your love." β
This is indeed a cut of love. Zhou Ruoqian nodded and did not deny it: "The second sister must be well preserved." β
The Bai family simply didn't want to deal with this second son.
The eldest son's gift was an unexpected surprise, and the daughter's was reluctant, and the second son's small shoes had to be kept well.
If he hadn't given birth to himself, Bai really wanted to mock him.
"Zhaoning, I have prepared a lot of gifts for my mother, you can go with me to have a look." The Bai family dragged Su Zhaoning, left their three children behind, and left.
When she arrived at Bai's room, she let go of Su Zhaoning's hand, opened all the wardrobes at once, and then took out one, two, and three stacks of clothes from inside.
Then, Bai bent down again and dragged one, two, three small boxes from under the wardrobe.
"Originally, I was worried about my mother and scared you, so I thought I wouldn't show it to you at once." Bai Shi was still taking things out, and while she personally held a brocade box, two brocade boxes, and three brocade boxes in front of Su Zhaoning, she said to Su Zhaoning, "But Weiniang thinks that the things that your two brothers and one sister took out are too angry." It's still up to me. β
Bai sat back at the table panting tiredly, and Su Zhaoning handed over a cup of freshly poured tea.
Bai took a sip of tea, then put down the cup and continued to pick up things.
"Godmother, you will rest." Su Zhaoning persuaded.
Bai smiled and waved his hand, and replied, "No, I have to show you all these things at once, I have been hoarding them for more than twenty years." β
Probably took out all the boxes that he wanted to show Su Zhaoning, Bai opened the boxes one by one, and shook off the clothes one by one to show Su Zhaoning: "Look at this, this light ink embroidered chrysanthemum skirt actually has the same one for my mother." In terms of style, although it is slightly mature, this strap is exactly the same. At that time, my mother made two pieces at a time, just hoping to have a daughter wear them exactly the same. β
"And this one, this goose yellow skirt with a white top, I picked a hairpin of the same color for my mother to match." Bai Shi finished shaking his clothes and showed them to Su Zhaoning, and then opened a brocade box next to him to show Su Zhaoning, "Look at this, this hairpin is yellow and white jade, and the shape is like a jade rabbit." Why is it the appearance of the Jade Rabbit, it is in this place. β
Bai Shi pointed to the chest of the previous dress, and saw that directly in front of it was a fan-like pattern, and in the middle of the fan was a white rabbit.
"These clothes are a little small, I guess you won't be able to wear them in Zhaoning. But do you like it, if you like it, let's make another set, okay? When Bai Shi spoke, she picked up her clothes and compared them to Su Zhaoning, and after the comparison, she looked regretful, "I made it too small." β
"Do you like it?" The Bai clan looked at Su Zhaoning expectantly.
Su Zhaoning knew the Bai family's ardent expectation, so he nodded with a smile and said, "I know that there is a shop, and the shopkeeper's craftsmanship is very meticulous. Tell her what she wants to do, and she can try to do it. β
"Wait for tomorrow, I'll take my godmother to have a look." Su Zhaoning agreed.
Bai Shi's eyebrows and eyes were about to fly when he heard this. She touched the brocade box on the ground to the table, and took out the contents of the brocade box to Su Zhaoning: "How about this pair of pomegranate flower earrings?" I deliberately picked it for a long time, just to match a complete set. β
After finishing speaking, Bai Shi opened the brocade box next to him and showed it to Su Zhaoning: "The color of this red jade is close to that of the pomegranate flower, and it seems to be good with it." There is also this bracelet, I look at the traces of the jade lines, vaguely like a tweed. That's why I deliberately put this set on purpose. β
Su Zhaoning took a closer look, and saw that the shape of the pomegranate flower earrings was close to the shape of the blood jade bracelet. She nodded and praised: "Godmother is very hearted. I saw that this pomegranate flower is not only similar to the pattern of the blood jade bracelet, but also the overall shape of the pendant, which is also similar to the pattern on the blood jade bracelet. Godmother, look, this place doesn't look like a bent earring? β
Bai Shi followed what Su Zhaoning pointed out and looked at it again carefully, and after reading it, she must agree with what Su Zhaoning said.
"It's really Zhaoning, you're meticulous." The Bai clan happily put the blood jade bracelet on Su Zhaoning's hand.
Su Zhaoning stopped Bai and asked, "Does the godmother herself have such a similar style?" β
Bai was a little disappointed: "These styles were all collected in the past few years. Nowadays, it is difficult to find consistency. β
Su Zhaoning looked into the brocade boxes opened by the Bai family, and saw that although the head was made of jasper, the shape was also flower-shaped.
Su Zhaoning picked out that set of jewelry, and said to Bai: "Godmother, look, in fact, if you choose these two sets of jewelry of similar shapes and wear white skirts, it should also be very good." β
As for the details of the dress, you can use moon-white embroidery thread to embroider the patterns of these two sets of jewelry. Instead of using red or white embroidery thread alone, choose the same color as the skirt, which is not obtrusive and delicate. Su Zhaoning made ideas for the Bai family very seriously.
Bai Shi looked at these two sets of jewelry carefully, and picked out a white skirt according to what Su Zhaoning said.
"Zhaoning's idea is very good, let's make up tomorrow. Where's the shop you're talking about? Bai asked.
Su Zhaoning replied: "On the edge of Chunxing Garden, it is called Lin Ji Buzhuang. Have you heard of it? β
"Nope." Bai shook her head, but her emotions were still high, and she replied, "I'll know if I've been there tomorrow." β
After happily setting up a few more sets of clothes with Su Zhaoning, Bai asked Su Zhaoning: "Will you be unhappy if I arbitrarily let Zhaoning wear the same clothes as me?" β
"How so? I like my godmother's heart. Su Zhaoning replied.
It's just that Bai's behavior shows that she should be looking forward to a daughter. And Miss Zhou doesn't seem to be liked by the Bai family.
Su Zhaoning hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Is it not the biological mother and daughter between the godmother and the younger sister?" β
"Zhaoning has overpassed." Su Zhaoning immediately apologized after asking.
Bai Shi didn't think it was annoyed, but replied: "If you don't ask me, I will think that you don't really treat me as a mother." β
"This sister of yours was not born to me." Bai Shi did not hide the past, "After I had two sons, I have always hoped to have another daughter. In fact, if her mother doesn't do those things to disgust me, I can also treat her as my own, after all, I can't be reborn. β
Seeing the surprise in Su Zhaoning's eyes, Bai's sadness at mentioning the past suddenly faded. She really thinks that this goddaughter is very popular with her.
