Chapter 40 Presenting the birthday gift
In the Shoukang Courtyard, there were guests everywhere, laughter and joy, and it was a festive look. The old lady was wearing a long dark red Shu brocade gown, sitting in the upper seat with a kind smile on her face.
Everyone rushed to offer various birthday greetings, and Zhong also smiled and stood below, Lin Ziting standing beside her, as if the episode just now had not affected their mother and daughter at all, and he reminded: "Ting'er, please send your gift to the old lady."
"Yes, mother!" Lin Ziting was graceful and graceful, with a straight face, and her red lips opened lightly, "I wish my granddaughter a blessing from the East China Sea and a long life as far as the South Mountain."
The second lady of the Lin family was dignified and generous, which made people praise him. Xu gritted his teeth and wanted to spit out. This hateful Zhong never forgot to promote Lin Ziting's pretentious behavior on any occasion.
Lin Ziting's birthday gift was presented, a large screen embroidered with flowers and blooming with wealth. It was colorful, with outstanding charm and outstanding appearance. There were bursts of marvelous voices immediately, "Wow, it's such a clever trick!"
"The second lady is not only beautiful, but also her embroiderer is very good. I think the embroiderer in the palace is just like this."
"This is really a flower that adds spring color to the jade fingers and birds rush to the golden needle to grow feathers. I have only truly seen it today. The old lady has taught such a granddaughter well."
………
The room was filled with compliments and praise, and the old lady nodded, "Ting'er is really filial, thank you for your hard work?"
"Ting'er is not working hard for the old lady."
Zhong was very proud, and glanced at Xu, who was smiling even worse than crying, and raised his head arrogantly.
Against the backdrop of Lin Ziting's colorful birthday gift, Lin Zimei's birthday gift was not at all conspicuous, and was suppressed by the big house everywhere. They were naturally depressed, but in front of the old lady, the second house did not dare to act rashly.
At this time, the Madam Wang next to the old lady reported, "Old lady, Princess Jiangxia has arrived."
Baili Xue's face was still covered with a veil, followed by Qi Xin. As soon as the two entered the Shookang Courtyard, the originally lively Shookang Courtyard was silent.
Everyone's eyes were focused on her to see who the princess who heard the sound before she arrived?
Baili Xue turned a blind eye to all kinds of curious gazes, but said with a smile: "Today is my grandmother's birthday. Axue wishes my grandmother a bright sun and moon, and a long spring of pines and cranes."
Many people think that this birthday celebration has been taught so much in private to be so smooth, otherwise they would not be able to say a word. After a brief silence, someone who was informed began to spread in a low voice, "I heard that this princess has an ugly scar on her face, so she covered her face."
"Princess Jiangxia? The sister of King Jiangxia?"
"Yes, it's still the future Princess Rui."
"King Rui is pitiful enough. The pride of heaven actually has such a princess?"
"yes!"
...
Although there were many whispers, many of them even came directly into the old lady's ears, the old lady seemed to have not heard anything at all. There was no strangeness on her face. Instead, she smiled and stretched out her hand, "Okay, okay, okay, Axue, come over here quickly."
Baili Xue was very happy today and said as if she was asking for credit: "Grandma, don't worry, Axue has prepared a gift for you. Are you happy or not?"
People are curious, and many people widened their eyes, wanting to see what gifts this silly princess would prepare, especially this silly princess who is already well-known in the capital.
Qi Xin held a brocade box in her hand and stepped forward. Qing Lingling said, "In order to celebrate the old lady's birthday, the princess searched for several days before she found such a treasure. She only hoped that the old lady would like it."
The old lady smiled and patted Bailixue's head, and said kindly: "You girl will make me happy, and what treasure have you found?"
Seeing this, Lin Ziting was unhappy with her lip biting her lips. She had never seen the old lady so happy when she saw the attention-catching birthday gift just now. Now, Bailixue’s birthday gift has not been presented yet, the old lady fell in love with it first. What’s the good thing about Bailixue? Let the old lady like it like this?
Zhong threw a look calmly to show comfort, making Ting'er calm and show her temperament.
Baili Xue nodded to Qixin. Qixin opened the brocade box, her face changed drastically, and she said in surprise: "What is this?"
