Chapter 1058 Chapter 1058
Zhang Fanghui received quite a few gifts. Even Pei Qiuyu, who was unable to come due to illness, sent someone to give her a skirt made of fine purple gauze with dark embroidered patterns.
I think it must have taken a long time to cut and embroider it, and it took quite a lot of thought.
Xu Lingqiao presented a pair of hand-sewn Dengyunqiaotoe shoes to Zhang Fanghui. The workmanship was exquisite and the style was beautiful. Zhang Fanghui couldn't put them down as soon as she got them. She praised them several times and said they were good.
Qi Yueniang and Xiao Yinxiu gave Zhang Fanghui a set of jewelry and head ornaments, which were so expensive and luxurious that Zhang Fanghui even said she was not worthy of them.
"Now my sister-in-law and I are living in seclusion, and these fancy patterns are all at the bottom of the box. They are useless if they are not seen for a lifetime. Why don't you wear them for fun?"
Qi Yueniang has always been a plain-looking woman, and she is also a widow.
The set of head jewelry given as a gift consists of seven pieces of various sizes. They are made of silver, gilt filigree and kingfisher feather craftsmanship. The gold-gilt color is inlaid with dark blue, which is very beautiful.
Normally, it was hidden in the dressing box without seeing the sun. As the eldest daughter of the Qi family, the things she took out were naturally not bad, but no matter how good they were, they could not compare to Xiao Yinxiu.
Xiao Yinxiu was generous and wore a whole set of gold filigree and jewel-inlaid head ornaments, which was even more eye-catching. It was made of pure gold and inlaid with luxurious ornaments such as sapphires, white pearls, white tourmalines, etc. There were six hairpins of different sizes and styles, a pair of head ornaments, two hairpins, a bracelet, four pairs of earrings, and a brow pendant.
The craftsmanship is complicated, using techniques such as stitching, brushing, and inlaying. The patterns are mostly butterflies, flowers, auspicious beasts, vases, etc., and the exquisiteness is breathtaking.
Not to mention Zhang Fanghui who couldn't let it go, even Xu Lingqiao and Qi Yueniang were full of praise when they saw it.
"You two should stop worrying. I will also send you off like this on your birthdays tomorrow. How about that?"
Qi Yueniang covered her mouth with her hands and smiled, "The rich man in our family is relying on you." She took Xu Lingqiao's arm and joked with Xiao Yinxiu.
Looking at Song Guanzhou again, she had worked hard to give this gift.
Because Rendong was not feeling well these days, she had to go to the warehouse on crutches to look through the rewards and gifts she had received in the past six months. She picked out a pair of warm red jade unicorn ornaments, which were not outstanding but were very valuable.
Song Guanzhou smiled dryly, "Fourth sister-in-law, as for gifts, I am not talented and my personal treasury is poor, so I really can't give anything. I can only borrow flowers to offer to Buddha——"
Zhang Fanghui also had an expression that showed she wanted to smile but couldn't. Song Guanzhou frowned, thinking, "Oh no, I gave the wrong gift."
Xiao Bei stepped forward, took the palm-sized jade unicorn, looked it over, and finally sighed, "Guan Zhou, do you dislike this ornament?"
"I like it, but I think it's too big when I hang it around my waist, and too small when I put it on my desk. To be honest, it's also been gathering dust in the warehouse..."
Looking at Xiao Bei's playful expression, she felt something was wrong.
Pei An stopped talking with Pei Chen and stepped forward to take a look. Pei An held his forehead with his hand and smiled bitterly, "My wife, this jade unicorn is a masterpiece made by the jade carving master from my fourth sister-in-law's family—"
ha?
Song Guanzhou was horrified, "So I returned the things that my fourth cousin and his wife gave me?"
Zhang Fanghui then burst out laughing, "It's not that I gave it to you, I think my wife chose it for you to play with."
What a shame.
Song Guanzhou quickly asked Hehua to take it back, and looked at Pei An coquettishly, "Silang, choose another one for your fourth cousin's wife. Rendong has been unwell these days. Without her, I have made a lot of jokes."
Her face was flushed, making her look even more charming and pretty.
Pei An took the lotus flower away and bowed to Zhang Fanghui, "Please forgive my stupid wife, Fourth Sister-in-law!"
If this joke happened to anyone else, they would probably feel uneasy. However, Song Guanzhou didn't take it seriously and coaxed Zhang Fanghui, "Maybe I shouldn't give this. I should go to Longen Temple some other day to choose a golden boy and a jade girl for the Goddess of Childbirth, right, my dear sister-in-law?"
Hearing this, Zhang Fanghui was stunned for a moment, then shook her head.
"Forget it, Silang and Guanzhou don't need to bother adding gifts. With your auspicious words, Ruige will have a new sibling in a few months."
Are you happy?
Zhang Fanghui nodded shyly, "I shouldn't have said that, but as time went by, we, the lucky lady, got it right."
After that, he held Song Guanzhou's shoulder and said, "Even if you don't give me anything, I will be very happy."
"This is a double gift! It's just that I made a fool of myself today, so my cousin-in-law will just treat it as an extra joke and let Silang make up for it later."
Xiao Yinxiu felt uncomfortable when he saw this.
The gift she gave was the most expensive, but it was not as good as the one in front of her. She didn't even know how to give gifts, but she was still loved by her own younger brother and sister-in-law.
With a dim look in her eyes, she continued the conversation.
"This is a great joyous event. It has been a long time since our family had a baby." She took Qi Yueniang's arm and looked at everyone with a kind face. "My eldest sister-in-law and I gave up the idea a long time ago. Ling Qiao and my second sister and younger sister-in-law are waiting to get married. Only Guanzhou is left. I think you and my fourth brother have been married for more than two years. It's not a big deal to have an empty child, but you have to be careful."
As soon as he said this, the atmosphere changed.
Zhang Fanghui blamed her elder sister for not finding faults, because she couldn't live like this. Everyone knew that Pei An had a hard time raising a child, and Guan Zhou was jealous and didn't tolerate others. There were only two of them in the room...
The word "offspring" is a taboo.
But the eldest sister didn't care and said it so bluntly in front of the man. She didn't dare to look at Song Guanzhou's face, but just found a topic to talk about, "Eldest sister is also a worrywart. Some things can't be rushed. Guanzhou is young, and although he has been married for a long time, he is only eating the food of Nineteen now."
Xiao Yinxiu didn't take it seriously. He picked up the tea and took a sip. "When my sister-in-law and I were her age, our children Qin and Ling were already born."
Pei An heard this and wanted to get up, but Pei Chen pulled him.
"Just gossip."
The fourth brother is good in everything else, but he is too protective of his wife. "If mother were here, your second sister-in-law wouldn't say that."
"Second brother..."
But Song Guanzhou smiled and said, "Second sister-in-law knows that I am not in good health, and it may be difficult for me to give birth, but it is not a problem. My eldest sister-in-law only has one son, Qin, and I am reluctant to give him up, but second sister-in-law and second brother can have more children. I dare not ask for your son Ling, but you can give me Huan, okay?"
The skin on her oval face was as white and tender as porcelain, with a faint pink tint, and her eyes were very lively.
She waved to Huan Ge'er, who gathered beside her. They looked at Xiao Yinxiu, who was speechless, face to face. "Second sister-in-law, please don't say you are reluctant to let me go. Huan Ge'er, how about calling me mother?"
"That's definitely not possible. If you give birth to your own child, how will I, Huan, hold on?"
Xiao Yinxiu looked embarrassed and answered reluctantly.
"Don't worry, second sister-in-law. It's difficult for me to give birth to a child. I won't allow Silang to take any concubines. From now on, it's just Huan Ge'er in front of my wife and I. Is that okay?"
The last few words were spoken in a soft voice, coaxing Pei Yuhuan.
Pei Yuhuan had a serious face and shook his head, "Fourth Aunt, you can't do that. Brother Huan must serve his real father and mother."
puff!
