Chapter 1410 I'm Not Ready Yet
Uncle Qing nodded in agreement: "I was just about to say this! I also think it's better to say it sooner rather than later. Lord Shao and Madam Shao are both reasonable people, and I don't think they will object."
"That's right. The more we delay, the more it will appear that we are not sincere. Maybe Lord Shao will get angry. Lord Shao looks gentle, but once he gets angry, it will be terrible!"
"That's right!"
Zhao Shu: “….”
Zhao Shu felt his scalp tingling after hearing this, and subconsciously wanted to back off. He said weakly, "This... do we really have to say it now? I'm not ready yet. It won't be too late to wait until Lord Shao returns from his mission to Qingdi..."
"Who said it's not too late?" Aunt Qing said with a smile, "It will be too late then! Of course, the sooner you say something like this, the more sincere you are! Why don't you prepare it tomorrow and tell us in two days!"
Zhao Shu: “….”
Uncle Qing coughed and said, "Sir, don't forget that there is no impenetrable wall in this world. If you don't tell me here, what if Lord Shao and Madam Shao find out from other channels first? Isn't that..."
Zhao Shu shuddered and said hurriedly, "Yes, yes! Tell me! I will tell you when you come to visit me the day after tomorrow!"
If that were the case, there would be no explanation. Lord Shao would probably tear him to pieces.
I don’t know why, but that’s what he thought subconsciously!
Uncle Qing and Aunt Qing were both angry and amused to see him like this. They tried to persuade him all the way and consoled him in various ways.
After Zhao Shu and his servant left, Shao Yunduan was absent-minded for a while and asked Qiao Xuan, "Madam, do you think Zhao Shu and his servant are a little strange?"
Qiao Xuan was stunned and said with a smile: "No, why would you think so?"
Shao Yunduan laughed: "Maybe I'm overthinking it!"
He always felt that Zhao Shu was a little afraid to face his gaze, as if he was guilty of doing something, and was particularly fawning and ingratiating.
Qiao Xuan opened the gift and exclaimed, "This is too expensive! Even if Mr. Zhao is rich, he can't be so willful!"
Zhao Shu presented a generous gift, expressing his apology for not being able to return to Hangzhou to meet her before the New Year. Qiao Xuan knew that the gift must be valuable, otherwise a guy like Zhao Shu who was so busy would not be able to give it away.
But I didn't expect it to be so valuable.
There were more than a dozen pieces of red gold and gemstone jewelry in a complete set. The pair of auspicious cloud and auspicious gold hairpins were inlaid with seven or eight red, blue and green gemstones of varying sizes. The two largest rubies were larger than thumbs. The pure red color was crystal clear without a trace of impurities.
Just one of these gems is worth at least 20,000 taels of silver.
Inlaid on these exquisitely crafted gold hairpins, this pair of gold hairpins is worth at least 70,000 or 80,000 silver coins.
This entire set of red gold head jewelry inlaid with gems is probably worth about 200,000.
This gift is really precious.
There is also a set of simple and elegant white porcelain floral tea set, which probably costs ten thousand taels of silver.
Shao Yunduan was also a little stunned.
The two looked at each other.
"Did Mr. Zhao get upset? Or did he think that we are petty people and got angry because he didn't have time to get back to Hangzhou? So he is making an apology?"
Shao Yunduan frowned, shook his head and smiled: "I don't think so. He is not sensible. I don't think Uncle Qing and Aunt Qing are not sensible. Maybe he has something to ask of us."
