Zhu Changxun had already seen Jiang Shu before he opened his mouth, nodded at him lightly, and his steps unconsciously sped up a little.

Although Jiang Shu was anxious to go back to Qingran Pavilion to choose a suitable object for the old lady to give as a birthday gift at the moment, he didn't want to delay here, but depending on the situation, there was no way to avoid it, so he could only choose to meet it.

It was only a few steps away from each other that they stopped and stopped.

Zhu Changxun caught a glimpse of the dark red lacquer strip-shaped wooden box in her hand that was the kaleidoscope box given to her by Matteo Ricci in Nantang eight days ago, and a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes, and she said softly: "Isn't this the birthday gift you want to give to the old lady?" Why did you take it out again? ”

"Don't mention it," Jiang Shu frowned slightly, "My fifth sister Ye Xi also gave this thing, and a few days ago, my cousin also gave one to her, these are two, how can I still get it." ”

"Then what are you ......" Zhu Changxun's eyes moved slightly, and he looked sideways at the gate of Changhe Hall not far away.

"I told her that I accidentally took the wrong birthday gift, and now I want to go back to change it," Jiang Shu glanced at the gift box in his hand, and looked up at the two people in front of him, "Lord Wang, His Royal Highness King Rui, I don't have time to delay, I have to go back immediately." ”

"Do you have any other birthday gifts?" Zhu Changxun asked in a clear voice.

"No," Jiang Shu shook his head slowly, "I can only choose one thing in my room to replace it, or let Ping Qian go out through the back door immediately and buy it." ”

As she spoke, she suddenly thought of something, and her eyes moved: "You say, I'll give her the chiming bell, okay?" It's definitely better than this kaleidoscope. ”

"That's what this king gave you." Zhu Changxun's expression froze, and he reminded lightly.

"No," Jiang Shu immediately denied, "The one sent by the prince has already been sent to the queen mother in the palace, and the one that the prince saw in my room was given to me by my father." ”

"Really?" Zhu Changxun's complexion quickly returned to the same as before, he smiled noncommittally, and his thin lips opened lightly, "It's just that on this big birthday day, it is a little inappropriate to send a bell." ”

After his reminder, Jiang Shu reacted that "sending the bell" and "sending the end" are homophonic, which is indeed a little unlucky, and subconsciously asked: "Then what should I do?" ”

"Take this and give it to her." Zhu Changxun took out a strip-shaped carved wooden box from his sleeve, which was much smaller and more delicate than the box in her hand, and handed it to her.

Jiang Shu stuffed the gift box in his hand into Zhu Changhao's hand on the opposite side, raised his hand to take it, and opened it gently.

When he saw the things inside, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he took it out and said, "What a beautiful purple hosta!" The fineness of this jade is so good, it must be very valuable, right? ”

"......" Zhu Changxun couldn't help frowning when he heard it.

Girl, that's not the point, okay?

He coughed lightly and said in a low voice, "Look at the carving of the hairpin." ”

"It's a bunch of apricot blossoms side by side!" Jiang Shu looked down, and couldn't help but show a bright smile on his face, "Apricot blossom spring rain Jiangnan, what a sense of meaning!" ”

"Do you think the old lady will like it?" Zhu Changxun asked with a condescending expression.

"Of course," Jiang Shu nodded immediately, "I heard that my grandmother liked apricot blossoms the most, and when she was young, she liked to fold apricot blossom hairpins on her head. ”

"Then take it to her and give it to her." Zhu Changxun looked at her with a faint smile and said.

"No," Jiang Shu thought of something, put the hairpin back into the box, closed the lid and handed it to him, "This is the birthday gift you prepared for your grandmother, if I take it, what will you give her?" ”

"Third sister-in-law, rest assured," Zhu Changhao glanced at Zhu Changxun beside him and said, "This is not the birthday gift that the third brother wants to give to the old lady, the birthday gift between me and the third brother has already been handed over to the housekeeper in the house, this is what the third brother wants to ......."

"What do you want?" Seeing that he suddenly paused after meeting Zhu Changxun's gaze, Jiang Shu asked puzzled.

"It's nothing," Zhu Changxun tugged at the corners of his lips lightly and replied for him, "What he means is that you can take it with confidence." ”

"Thank you very much." Jiang Shu knew that now was not the time to be polite, and raised his hand to him gratefully.

Zhu Changxun waved his hand slowly, and said with a faint smile: "This king will go with you, and you will say so then." ”

As he spoke, he took two steps forward, leaned into her ear, and whispered a few words.
