Chapter 322: The Gift of Birth
Soon, the day of Chen Jiayu's birthday arrived, Lei Yingying and Lin Shuran took a car to Prince Alcohol's Mansion together, Lei Yingying's gift was a good ginseng, which was given to Chen Jiayu to replenish his body, and Lin Shuran gave something bigger, and she asked Chen Jiayu to make a maternity pillow.
When the subordinates of Prince Alcohol's Mansion received Lei Yingying's gift, they all sighed that this Miss Yan of the Zhenguo Mansion was really generous, and the dignified general's wife turned out to be a pillow when she made a move, which was too stingy and perfunctory.
Gu Xiruo saw the gift given by Lin Shuran from a distance, snorted coldly disdainfully, and then deliberately walked up to the subordinates in Prince Alcohol's Mansion who were in charge of receiving the guests' gifts, and asked, "This thing is really strange, why is it so big?" I don't know which one gave this expensive gift? ”
The subordinates of Prince Alcohol's Mansion also act according to their faces, and now the old prince in the palace values the princess a little, and everyone else is more or less holding back, but since Chen Jiayu followed Lin Shuran to get the eyes of the queen mother, now this princess is half of the family in charge of the palace, and they all know the relationship between Lin Shuran and Chen Jiayu, although the gifts given by Lin Shuran today are a little unsightly, but they don't dare to say anything.
"Back to this lady, this is a gift from the general's wife to my family concubine, saying that it is a pillow!" After the servant finished speaking, he was busy receiving other guests.
Gu Xiruo seemed to be very useful to the "lady" title of the subordinate, nodded and turned around to go to the lady who was entertaining guests in the palace, but she was still indignant in her heart, she did everything possible to marry into Ling Wangfu, thinking that even if she couldn't become a princess in the future, at least she would be a princess's side concubine, and now Ling Wangfu has become an uncle's mansion, and she has become her uncle's aunt Gu, this gap makes her really regret her original decision.
Now the Anning Bofu is still the old lady in charge, and no one wants to marry her daughter to the crippled uncle as a wife, so the old lady decided to choose a person between her and Qi Rouer to be the wife, Qi Rouer gave birth to a daughter some time ago, and now she is in confinement, so at the banquet in Prince Alcohol today, the old lady brought her and Zhao Kerou, the eldest lady.
"Where have you been? Don't look unruly! When Gu Xiruo saw Zhao Kerou, she reprimanded her in a low voice.
Gu Xiruo just smiled softly, but she looked down on Zhao Kerou very much in her heart, now she is not an invincible Kerou county lord, she was retired by the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, and she is not a good family to marry, but she has not learned to bow her head and be well-behaved, and her arrogant temperament in the past has not changed at all.
"Is there something wrong with my sister looking for me? I just walked around casually, and happened to meet a guest in the palace to receive gifts, and when I saw the strange gift in his hand, I was curious and said a few more words. Gu Xiruo's eyes deliberately looked at Zhao Kerou and said, she knew that Zhao Kerou was the same as herself and didn't like Lin Shuran.
Sure enough, Zhao Kerou glanced at her even more contemptuously, as if mocking Gu Xiruo for not seeing the world, and said: "Don't be so shallow-eyed with the face of the Lost Uncle's Mansion, how can you say that your father is also the country's son of the priest wine, haven't you seen anything good?!" ”
Gu Xiruo leaned into her ear and whispered two words, Zhao Kerou heard the suspicion in her eyes, looked at her and asked, "Are you sure?" Did she really send it? ”
Gu Xiruo nodded, and said that the subordinates of the palace told her in person, that the gift that Lin Shuran gave to Chen Jiayu today was a strange and big pillow.
Zhao Kerou immediately snorted lightly and walked forward, and soon she saw Lin Shuran, Lei Yingying, Chen Jiayu, Ming and others gathering in the living room to talk together, and there were many ladies and ladies in the house to accompany her.
So, she also walked into the hall, but she should salute and greet her very well, but when she arrived in front of Lin Shuran, she deliberately asked with a look of curiosity: "Mrs. Xu, I heard that the gift you gave to the princess today is a pillow, Kerou wants to ask, is there anything special about giving a pillow for this birthday gift?" ”
Her question made the originally lively living room quiet, and everyone's expressions were different, and the old lady of Anningbo's Mansion who came in later and the Ruan family and Chen Jiating mother and daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion were also stunned, why, is the birthday gift that Lin Shuran gave to Chen Jiayu today a pillow?
"When did Miss Zhao become concerned about these too?" Lei Yingying could see at a glance that Zhao Kerou was not well-intentioned, and deliberately wanted Lin Shuran to lose face in front of the female guests.
Zhao Kerou pretended not to see the displeasure on Lei Yingying's face, and continued: "I don't know how to ask, I've never heard of anyone who has a birthday gift before, and the guest gives a pillow, I still remember when she added makeup to Aunt Gu in our house, she made a move of thousands of taels of jewelry, which was generous and smack-smacked, but why did she get stingy when she got to the princess, a few days ago, the princess sent charcoal in the snow to help her Xu family's sugar shop come back to life, is there any treasure hidden in this pillow?" ”
Chen Jiayu just smiled politely, this Zhao Kerou has experienced great changes in the family and has not changed her troublesome temperament, whether Lin Shuran gives her gold or mud, it is all a matter between them, what does it have to do with her, let her talk more.
Lin Shuran looked at Zhao Kerou before Chen Jiayu spoke: "I didn't expect Miss Zhao to be so curious, there are no unusual treasures in the pillow, just some soft cotton wool, my gift is indeed not valuable, but it is shabby compared with the gifts you gave, I hope you don't dislike it, princess." ”
Lin Shuran smiled and turned to Chen Jiayu again, but Chen Jiayu smiled at her and replied: "Since ancient times, gifts are not in the noble and low, only in the heart, I have a close relationship with my sister, even if you don't give a thing today, when the person arrives, it is the biggest and best gift for my birthday, how can the value of vulgar things be compared with my sister's mind." ”
"Sister Chen, what you said is not right, the gifts we gave you today are not as good as those given by Sister Ran, and I also chose them with my heart." Lei Yingying pretended to be jealous and said angrily.
Chen Jiayu immediately smiled and said: "Don't misunderstand, I know that everyone came to celebrate me today with great care, I am grateful that it is too late, I always want everyone to laugh, but don't be angry." ”
"Listen to this, I know why Sister Ran gave you a pillow, some time ago didn't you tell me that I always feel uncomfortable when I sleep at night, I told my sister about it, she took it to heart, and specially came up with this kind of maternity pillow for you, saying that it will help you sleep, she didn't even think of herself, she only thought of you!" Lei Yingying can be regarded as telling Lin Shuran the reason why she gave Chen Jiayu a pillow today.
"It turns out that the general's wife meant this, I thought you were worried that my sister would be lonely and crying in the middle of the night, so I made her a pillow instead of my brother-in-law to accompany her!" At this time, Chen Jiating said out loud with a smile, obviously in a very angry tone, not so friendly.
