Chapter 67: Birthday Gifts
Her lips moved, and the old lady was just about to ask, when she saw that a room full of people were shocked by Zhao Qing's groundbreaking grand dress and compelling momentum, and they all looked at her in amazement, especially the eldest lady, who forgot to hide the jealousy and hatred in her eyes, and revealed it unabashedly.
The words that came to her mouth were swallowed back, and the old lady changed her words, "Ying'er, hurry up, hurry up, you are pregnant, you don't have to give the same big gift as them!" ”
Zhao Qing still respectfully kowtowed to the old lady three times, took the crystal jade Buddha lotus pattern carved tray in Qiao Lan's hand and handed it over, "...... The granddaughter-in-law wishes her grandmother happiness such as the East China Sea, and her longevity is better than Nanshan. ”
Hearing the soft and affectionate "grandmother" two sons, the old lady smiled with her eyebrows.
While motioning for Huamei to take it, she patted her side, "Ying'er, come and sit." ”
I heard that Zhao Qing had no money to prepare a birthday gift, so he begged the second master to draw a statue of Guanyin for Yueniang to embroider.
The statue of Guanyin is molded and carved, how can it be embroidered?
It's ridiculous just to think about it.
After taking the tray, Huamei also knew that Zhao Qing's birthday gift was too shabby to take it out, so she raised her feet and walked out while the old lady was talking.
This kind of thing is best hidden in the warm pavilion, and then quietly shown to the old lady when no one is around. Sure enough, like other birthday gifts, it was placed on the long table in the middle of the hall, and someone accidentally opened it...... Shame on the dead!
Who knows, what are you afraid of.
As soon as Huamei turned around, she was stopped by the eldest lady.
"I don't know what the third grandmother sent?" There was a curious look on his face, but he sneered in his heart.
He didn't even have a decent head, he was poor. I can't think of anything good!
If you can, you will prepare a bunch of delicious food, and put it on the long table in the hall, and the guests will open everyone's eyes later. Look at the famous town of Tanxi Province, which is known for his generous hands and wide friends, Shen Sanye married what a stingy daughter-in-law he married!
Isn't it dear, then let everyone see how expensive the birthday gift prepared by your precious granddaughter-in-law is! Let everyone see how filial she is!
Looking at the bright and graceful face that captivated the country and the city, and looking at the hands held by the two affectionately, the eldest lady was particularly dazzling, and she made up her mind more and more that she would swear to fall into Zhao Qing's face in public today!
Thinking of Zhao Qing's usual shabbyness, the eyes of the eldest grandmother, the fourth grandmother and others were full of ridicule, and they all wanted to see what was under the golden velvet cloth. Could it be some kind of meat floss, fish floss, honey osmanthus cake or something, especially the fifth lady Shen Huaijing has already stood up eagerly, "...... It is. The third sister-in-law has always been ingenious, and she is a famous talented girl in our ancient town, but I don't know what she prepared for her grandmother this time? "Deliberately aggravated the ingenious four words.
For Zhao Qing, she became popular at Shen Huaiyu's 100-day memorial, and became a loyal and fierce woman overnight. It's even a matter of being famous in the Begonia Society. Shen Huaijing has always been obsessed.
If she doesn't let this slut lose face today, she vows not to give up!
Whoosh ......
The eldest grandfather and the fourth master, including the maids and mothers-in-law in the house, also came to see it.
Curious or sarcastic, they all stared at Zhao Qing's master and servant.
Feeling like she was being scorched by a blazing fire, Xia Zhu Qiaolan's face changed greatly.
The old lady's expression froze.
"This ......"
Huamei didn't enter or retreat with the tray, she looked at Zhao Qing at a loss.
Zhao Qing's face changed rarely.
“…… A pair of Guanyin embroidery, don't look at it. She said modestly.
It was the first time I saw Zhao Qing change color, and the eldest lady was stunned.
"Guanyin statue?" Then Su's mother heard the strings and knew the elegance, regardless of Xia Zhu Qiaolan's obstruction. stepped forward and lifted the golden velvet cloth covering the crystal carved tray, "The old lady likes the Guanyin statue the most." Show the old lady. "The itchy face is unbearable," that year, the third master once gave the old lady a mutton fat white jade carved Guanyin statue, the whole body is snow-white, crystal clear, the old lady likes it very much, and it has been offered in the nunnery! ”
“…… Yes! ”
Xia Zhu Qiaolan was too late to intercept again.
The cuckoo Yingchun has been holding a corner by himself, shaking a three-foot square statue of Guanyin.
Qiaolan Xia Zhu froze.
Facing the reddened faces of the two, Su's mother smiled coldly.
Hearing a sigh in the hall, she subconsciously looked at the embroidery in Du Juan Yingchun's hand and couldn't help but exclaim.
"God, Guanyin has arrived!" Then he covered his mouth.
I saw three feet to see the square moon white four joy Ruyi cloud head dark pattern brocade, a holding willow net bottle treasure solemn Guanyin lifelike, embroidered like the back of the head doped gold thread in the sun flashing a circle of golden halo, looking at the sun, is the Buddha's light shining, suddenly Guanyin real body descended.
"Oh my God!" Even the old lady who was not happy and angry exclaimed, "I have seen so many Guanyin statues, and none of them can shine, this, is this really embroidered?" Looking at Zhao Qing in surprise.
This granddaughter-in-law gave her a big surprise!
"It was Yueniang who saw that there was a golden light painted behind the Buddha statue, so she boldly used the gold thread, but she didn't expect the effect to be so good." Zhao Qing said with a smile.
came back to his senses, and Huamei Qingmei and others also exclaimed.
"Look, this Buddha's light is still shining gold!"
"I've always felt that this Ruyi cloud head pattern is not good for the jacket, but I didn't expect that it would be more appropriate to use it here, and it was difficult for the third grandmother to think of it......"
For a while, there was a sound of admiration in the hall.
Yu Guang saw that the big lady with a gloomy face stared at the embroidered raw edge and opened her mouth to speak, Zhao Qing preemptively said, "This Guanyin statue is embroidered, and the daughter-in-law wants to pretend to be a, but she has no silver in her hand, and she is afraid that it will be blasphemous with ordinary wood, so she didn't frame it." Generously admitted in public that he just didn't have any money, "Grandma, don't pick on your granddaughter-in-law." ”
It made the old lady laugh.
“…… The important thing to give gifts is to have a heart, and it is rare that Ying'er is attentive and can think of embroidering Guanyin with gold thread. "Tell Huamei," I remember that when the Lijing Pavilion was built, there was still some rosewood left, and it had been kept in the library, and I took it out in a hurry, and then found a good craftsman to be a good, so I asked to hang it in the nunnery. ”
Painted Mei smiled and should be.
Seeing the eldest lady's deflated ball-like face, Zhao Qing was embarrassed.
She didn't mean to.
The gift is expensive in the packaging, and the gift has to be packaged and framed by the recipient, which she will not do in her previous life, which she has always been generous in her previous life, so she was so low-key before.
I'm sorry to misunderstand everyone.
The old lady instructed Qingmei again, "Find out my red gold beaded hairpin and reward it to the third grandmother!" ”
Zhao Qing was sweating profusely.
It feels like exchanging rubble for jewelry.
"Grandma......" she cried.
"I also embroidered a forehead handkerchief for the old lady, and the old lady also rewarded me!" Miss Five screamed.
A trace of displeasure flashed in the old lady's eyes, but she covered it in an instant, and said with a smile, "Okay, good, everyone has a share!" ”
Seeing that the eldest lady's face was black and about to drip water, the eldest grandmother hurriedly changed the topic: "The horizontal and vertical are all her own family, and the old lady is happy, so it is better to open the birthday gifts and let everyone open their eyes." ”
The old lady nodded happily, "All open, all open." (To be continued......)
PS: It's a little late, I deleted it a few times, and I'm not satisfied.
