Chapter 304 Giving a gift to Jiji(1/2)
Chapter 304 Haircut Gifts and Gifts
In a flash, it was Li Yanran's hairpin.
Su Jinxiu prepared gifts early in the morning and went straight to Li Mansion.
I thought she came early, but when she arrived at the door of Li Mansion, she saw that many guests had already arrived.
Li Yanran's parents lost their lives in order to save Emperor Ren.
In addition, her grandfather was the emperor's first tutor, although he is now a sinecure in the court.
But because of the Li family's loyalty, they gained the emperor's trust.
He is one of the few people who can speak in front of the emperor.
Today, Li Yanran's haircut ceremony can be regarded as an opportunity for everyone to make friends with Mrs. Li.
Therefore, no one will miss this opportunity.
Su Jinxiu looked at the gifts brought by others, including gold, silver and jade.
In comparison, the gifts she brought were a bit unattractive.
She couldn't help but hide behind her head.
Just as she was thinking about it, she saw the housekeeper walking up to her.
"Is this Miss Su? My young lady warned me.
If you come, I will take you there directly."
It's rare to see the housekeeper of the Li family come to invite him in person and show such high regard.
Everyone looked sideways. Su Jinxiu was so stared at that her scalp was numb and she could only nod.
"If you'd like, please take me there."
The housekeeper took Su Jinxiu all the way to Li Yanran's boudoir.
Today is her haircut ceremony, and she is dressed in a fancy dress.
He is less childish than before and more dignified.
Seeing Su Jinxiu coming, she stretched out her hand coquettishly.
"Miss Su, sister is here. I'm about to die. Please help me."
The grandmother on the side frowned and interrupted when she heard this.
"On such a good day like today, how could the young lady say such unlucky words?
If the master listens to this, he will definitely be punished."
Li Yanran stuck out her tongue and smiled disapprovingly.
"No, my grandfather always makes loud noises and small raindrops.
You can’t bear to punish me, so don’t scare me, mama.”
Grandma was amused when she saw Li Yanran being so childish.
"My lady, after today, you will be a big girl.
But don't act like a child anymore and act recklessly.
Miss Su came just in time to help persuade the young lady."
Li Yanran grabbed Su Jinxiu's hand and asked her to sit down.
"Okay, okay, mama, go and get busy."
Grandma smiled, served tea and cakes to Su Jinxiu, and then left.
Su Jinxiu looked at Li Yanran and sheepishly took out the gift she had brought.
"Today Yanran and Hairi, I have prepared a cake for you.
And this hairpin, I picked the jade myself and polished it into shape.
Let the people from the jewelry shop set it in place overnight.
It’s not something expensive, I hope you like it.”
Li Yanran looked at the yellow and orange cake, smelled the sweet smell, and sniffed hard.
"Ms. Su's sister made it. It's delicious at first sight."
She opened the wooden box again, looked at the hairpin inside, and picked it up happily.
"The hairpin was made by Ms. Su's sister. I like it very much."
The jade on the hairpin is made into the shape of a full moon, and the style is simple yet grand.
The jade has a clear water color and is polished to a smooth shape, which shows that care has been taken.
"Later, Hairpin and I will wear this hairpin."
Li Yanran happily held the hairpin and was about to eat the cake.
"Now, try this cake first."
Su Jinxiu stopped her and placed a small red candle with a smile.
"Our rule there is to make a wish and blow out the candles before eating the cake.
Just close your eyes and make a wish."
Li Yanran had never heard of such a rule, but found it very interesting.
He closed his eyes obediently and muttered a wish in his heart.
I hope I can meet Sister Su’s brother soon.
After making the wish, at Su Jinxiu's signal, he blew out the candles.
Su Jinxiu then held up the cake and signaled that she could eat it.
"Yanran's wish will definitely come true."
Li Yanran took a bite of the cake and immediately opened her eyes.
“It’s delicious, I’ve never had pastries like this.”
Seeing her like this, Su Jinxiu couldn't help but smile.
"If you like it, I'll cook it for you later."
Li Yanran was eating and suddenly burst into tears.
"Wow, Sister Su, you are so kind.
If my mother had given me a sister back then, she would have looked like you.
Woohoo, I'm not sad.
I just feel that if my mother were still alive.
Seeing my hair, I don’t know how happy I am..."
When Li Yanran's mother left, Li Yanran was still an infant.
Although the people in the family have protected her very well over the years, no one can replace the position of a mother in her heart.
Su Jinxiu hugged Li Yanran and patted her shoulder gently.
"She can see it under the Nine Springs, and she will be very happy now."
After eating and crying, Li Yanran felt better.
When grandma walked in and saw Li Yanran's red eyes, she guessed something.
"I'm sorry, Miss Su, please go sit outside for a while.
Let me put some makeup on my young lady first. If she goes out like this, she will definitely make people laugh."
Su Jinxiu nodded, turned around and walked out the door.
Behind him, Li Yanran's instructions came.
"Sister Su, don't go too far.
I will go out later and look for you!"
Grandma was helpless and sighed.
"Miss, please sit down.
I promise, Miss Su won’t run away..."
Su Jinxiu came to the front hall and found that many people were already sitting there.
Among them were many familiar faces that she had seen in the Hou Mansion last time. She had no intention of establishing relationships with them, so she found a deserted corner to sit down.
Soon, Li Yanran was helped out by her grandma.
