Chapter 182 Take photos and send red envelopes
On February 6th, New Year’s Eve, the morning light was just breaking and a gentle pale light appeared in the sky.
Song Ci got up early in the morning and washed up. When he returned to the bedroom, Liu Shishi was still immersed in her dreams, curled up in the soft quilt, breathing evenly and quietly, like a lazy kitten.
Sitting gently on the bed, he stretched out his hand, gently slid his fingertips across Miss Liu's smooth hair, and whispered softly: "Shibao, it's time to get up."
Liu Shishi seemed to feel the warmth of Song poetry. Her eyelids trembled slightly and slowly opened. Her bright eyes flashed a lazy and happy light in the morning light.
Looking at her boyfriend sitting next to her, she raised a sweet smile and asked in a sleepy voice, "Yi Yi, what time is it?"
"It's almost eight o'clock, baby." Song Ci replied in a low voice, with a doting tone, "This year is New Year's Eve, and I have to give red envelopes to my family. After that, I have to pack up and go back to the old house to celebrate the New Year."
When Miss Liu heard this, her eyes suddenly brightened up and she became very interested in giving out red envelopes.
She sat up slowly, put her arms around her boyfriend's neck, and said coquettishly, "Okay, I'll give you the red envelope later."
Song Ci agreed with a smile, lowered his head and kissed his girlfriend's forehead softly: "I'll go to the study to wait for you, and we'll go down together after you wash up."
"Okay." Liu Shishi stretched and responded casually, thinking about what clothes to wear today.
An hour later, Song Ci and Liu Shishi came hand in hand to the spacious and bright living room.
The living room has already been decorated with a strong festive atmosphere. Big red lanterns are hung high, window grilles and paper-cuts are lifelike, and the air is filled with a faint scent of sandalwood, giving people a strong festive atmosphere.
Liu Shishi wore a winter velvet cheongsam embroidered with red plum blossoms with gold edges, and the graceful lines outlined her elegant figure.
With her long hair tied up, she looks dignified, elegant, graceful and gorgeous, dressed like a wealthy lady, like a plum blossom that blooms proudly in the snow.
Song Ci is wearing a fitted Tang suit. The red color is as hot as flames, which highlights her gentle and elegant temperament and complements Liu Shishi's noble cheongsam.
As soon as she saw the host coming downstairs, the housekeeper Sister Li quickly went to meet her, praising her repeatedly: "Madam, your dress is so beautiful. You and your husband look like fairies from heaven."
When Liu Shishi heard this, she was so delighted that she smiled brightly, her eyebrows and eyes curved, and she looked sweet and charming.
In addition to Sister Li, the family's other four servants, two drivers and three bodyguards also gathered around, saying festive and auspicious words.
"Sir and Madam, Happy New Year and may you live in harmony and happiness!" Sister Li spoke in a friendly tone, leading everyone to greet Liu Shishi and Song Ci in unison, her voice full of sincerity and enthusiasm.
She sincerely wished the young couple all the best. Both the husband and wife had good tempers and were generous in their daily lives. She was very happy working here.
In daily life, because my wife is an actress, she is sometimes not at home because she is out filming, and my husband does not come home for dinner every day.
She is only responsible for taking care of the villa. Not only is this job easy, but the income is also not low. Now she cherishes this job very much.
"My husband and I also wish everyone peace and happiness in the new year. Everyone will have a holiday in the afternoon and go back to celebrate the New Year with their families. We will see you on the fifth day of the new year."
Liu Shishi showed a gentle and quiet smile on her face, which made people feel like spring breeze. After saying that, she picked up a stack of red envelopes that had been prepared long ago from the coffee table beside her.
The cover of the red envelope is embroidered with the word "Fu" in golden silk thread. Each one is heavy, which makes people feel expectant when they see it.
Miss Liu stood up and walked to each person one by one, handed over the red envelopes with both hands, and said gently: "A little gift for the New Year. Thank you for your hard work this year!"
"Thank you, ma'am!" "Happy New Year, sir and ma'am!"
When everyone took the red envelopes, they noticed how thick they were and their faces were filled with happy smiles.
After handing out the red envelopes, Sister Li, who was quick-witted, had an idea and boldly suggested: "Sir, Madam, the atmosphere is particularly good today, why don't I take a photo of you!"
It's no wonder that Sister Li is qualified to be a housekeeper. She really has her strengths. Her cleverness is unmatched by the other servants.
The suggestion of taking photos really touched Liu Shishi's heart. She was dressed beautifully today and wanted to take a photo to record her first year in Jingyuan with Mr. Song.
Miss Liu cheered and her voice rose a few notes unconsciously: "Okay, okay, dear, do you want to take a picture?"
Seeing Liu Shishi's expectant look, Song Ci naturally followed suit and agreed with a smile: "Then take a few photos!"
Upon hearing this, Sister Li immediately ran to get the camera, and the servants also took action to tidy up the background quickly.
In a short while, everything was ready.
Liu Shishi was full of joy. She took Song Ci's arm, and they snuggled up to each other and sat on the sofa intimately.
Behind him is a carefully decorated room scene, with various Chinese knots and blessing character pendants hanging on the walls, which are arranged in an orderly manner and filled with a strong sense of the New Year.
Sister Li squatted on the floor and held up the camera in a serious manner: "Madam, please stop staring at the gentleman. Please look at the camera. OK, three, two, one, eggplant! A few more pictures."
As the shutter sounds, one photo after another full of love and sweetness is captured in the camera.
"Show me the results!" As soon as the shooting was completed, Liu Shishi couldn't wait to take the camera and check the photos.
In the photo, Miss Liu is wearing an exquisite and festive cheongsam, with a happy smile on her face. She looks gentle, elegant and has an extraordinary temperament.
Closely dependent on Song Ci, against the backdrop of the New Year atmosphere, it looks particularly warm and romantic. Both of them, in terms of appearance and temperament, make people unable to help but sigh that they are simply a match made in heaven.
Liu Shishi was very satisfied with the photo, her eyes sparkling with joy as she said, "It's a great photo! What do you think, dear?"
Song Ci nodded after reading it, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes: "It's really good, I didn't expect you to have this skill, Sister Li."
Sister Li smiled modestly and said, "I am just making a small fuss. As long as my wife likes it, that's fine."
After taking the group photo, Song Ci wanted to take a few photos of Miss Liu alone. He picked up the camera and skillfully adjusted the parameters to find the best angle and light.
Liu Shishi understood what he meant and happily moved around the sofa, stairs and garden, posing in various elegant and charming postures to fully display her charm.
After the photo shoot, Liu Shishi took the camera with great anticipation, wanting to see Mr. Song's masterpiece. As soon as she saw the photo, she was immediately surprised and said, "Wow, it's so well taken!"
In the photo, her eyes are sparkling, showing her charm. Mr. Song's photography skills are good, no less than those of professional photographers.
Song Ci raised his eyebrows proudly and said teasingly: "I am also good at Teacher Chen's style. If you like it, we can try it next time."
Having a big star at home, taking pictures is a necessary skill. The fact that he doesn’t like taking pictures doesn’t mean he doesn’t know how to take pictures. If you really compare, Teacher Chen’s skills are not as good as his.
"I'm going to die! You're talking nonsense again!" Liu Shishi's cheeks turned slightly red. She punched her boyfriend lightly and glared at him shyly.
However, I felt a sense of anticipation and excitement in my heart, and I even had an inexplicable longing for the next attempt that Song Ci mentioned.
After taking the photos, Song Ci asked Wang Shan to drive the Maybach to Nanluoguxiang to pick up his grandparents.
After arranging a few other things, he and Liu Shishi returned upstairs to pack up.
After a long delay, when the two returned to the community, it was almost 11 o'clock in the morning. The couple temporarily separated and went back to their respective homes.
When Liu Shishi returned home with her bag, her mother was busy preparing the New Year's Eve dinner in the kitchen as she did in previous years.
The old father was sitting on the sofa, typing away on a calculator.
"Dad, why don't you take a break during the New Year? What are you busy with?"
Liu Shishi put the things back in the room, curiously moved closer to her father, and secretly glanced at the bill on the coffee table. The densely packed accounts on it made her feel dizzy instantly.
When his precious daughter came back, Father Liu patted her arm lovingly and said happily, "Calculate the profit of the online store this year!"
Liu Shishi was pleasantly surprised and said, "It seems that Dad, you are doing well in the maternal and infant e-commerce business!"
When this was mentioned, Liu's father was immediately beaming with joy and said excitedly, "That's right, the initial investment has been fully recovered. Next, I plan to open an offline store and combine it with the online store to expand the business."
"Business is so good?" Liu Shishi was very surprised. She knew that it was not cheap to open a mother and baby store in Peking. This showed that her father's online store for mother and baby products was doing very well.
"Where is my son-in-law? Didn't he come back with you?" Mother Liu walked out of the kitchen with a spatula in her hand.
"He's back. He's back to his own home." Liu Shishi answered casually.
Mother Liu then asked, "Will he come to dinner tomorrow?"
Liu Shishi curled her lips. She had completely fallen out of favor with her mother. All her mother kept nagging about now was "my son-in-law is like this and like that."
"Yi Yi will definitely not have time tomorrow. He has to go to the company to visit the employees who are on duty during the New Year and those who did not return home due to the snowstorm."
Mother Liu still insisted, "What about the day after tomorrow?"
"I don't know!"
Mother Liu said angrily: "Silly girl, you did this on purpose, didn't you? I don't know why you don't ask!
During the Chinese New Year, your grandfather wants to come visit Song Ci so that our family can reunite and invite Xiao Song over to have a meal together."
"Oh, I'll ask Yi Yi later." Liu Shishi's mind flashed with the old face of her grandfather, and she couldn't help but feel distressed. The last time she saw her grandfather, the old man had become increasingly old.
Grandpa Liu suffered a lot when he was young, and his physical condition is poor. His health has been much worse in the past two years, and his physique is far inferior to that of Grandpa Song Ci.
Mother Liu was busy talking, and now she looked at her daughter carefully: "Is this cheongsam that Xiao Song bought for you for the New Year?"
Liu Shishi stood up and slowly turned around to show her mother her graceful figure:
"Look, it's pretty good, isn't it, Mom? This was custom-made by a master craftsman in Jiangnan. The patterns on it were carefully embroidered stitch by stitch."
Mother Liu nodded: "Yes, that's right."
I took a closer look at my daughter's fair and tender face and found that the baby fat on her face had faded, and her facial features had fully grown. She was more attractive than she was two years ago.
Liu Shishi felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by her mother: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
During the Chinese New Year, Liu's mother smiled and praised: "It's nothing, I just think you are getting more and more beautiful."
When Liu Shishi heard this, she immediately smiled and said, "Mom, you think so too. My husband thinks so too."
After hearing this, Liu's mother couldn't help but roll her eyes: "My husband! Have you got the marriage certificate? Have you had the wedding? Don't you have any shame!"
Liu Shishi was speechless and stammered: "Yi Yi is not yet of legal marriage age. I will marry him next year when he reaches the legal age."
Mother Liu's eyes flashed with surprise: "Has Xiao Song agreed with you on this?"
Father Liu also put down the calculator in his hand and looked at Miss Liu with nervousness and expectation. His little girl was going to get married, and he, as a father, felt lost for a moment.
Liu Shishi stammered: "That..."
Seeing her daughter's reaction, Mother Liu knew that her daughter had just said something nonsense, and said unhappily, "Xiao Song hasn't even promised you, and you are just talking nonsense at home."
Liu Shishi argued unconvincedly: "Who said he didn't agree to me? He swore to marry me."
"Okay, okay, as long as you are happy and harmonious, it doesn't matter if you get married a year earlier or later."
Mother Liu's face was full of expectation and tolerance for her children's happiness. She smiled and went back to the kitchen to continue working.
However, Liu Shishi was concerned. Without the little red book, and until she became Mrs. Song in full authority, she would always lack a sense of security!
The 2008 Spring Festival Gala in the Year of the Rat was brilliant and the production team really put a lot of thought into it.
There were bursts of joyful songs and humorous crosstalk dialogues coming from the TV. While Liu Shishi was watching the Spring Festival Gala with her parents, she was sending New Year greetings via text messages on her mobile phone.
I didn't return to my room until after 11 o'clock, but I was still energetic and not sleepy at all.
Liu Shishi was so excited about the New Year that she couldn't sleep. After thinking for a while, she decided to post the photos she took today on Weibo and take this opportunity to wish her fans a happy new year.
Turn on the computer, log in, edit and send, all in one go.
Liu Shishi v: I wish you all a happy new year and all the best! A simple and peaceful blessing, and four photos taken in Jingyuan during the day.
Then I habitually started browsing the trending searches on Weibo. Now, checking the trending searches has become a must-do for every Weibo user.
"1.SHE Chinese"
“2. Torchbearer”
"3. Jay Chou Blue and White Porcelain"
. . .
“10. Peaceful and Prosperous Face”
The top ten trending searches on Weibo are all about the Spring Festival Gala. SHE shined on the Spring Festival Gala stage with the infectious song "Chinese", instantly surpassing Uncle Zhao and Jay Chou to top the trending searches list.
During the Chinese New Year, Liu Shishi is obviously not the only night owl. Many netizens are also surfing the Internet and checking Weibo.
When Liu Shishi finished reading the hot searches and returned to her Weibo homepage, she found that many netizens had already left comments on her new update which she had just posted.
"Sister, this cheongsam is so beautiful."
"Gentle and pretty lady."
The many exaggerated words made her feel happy.
However, some careful fans noticed the background of the photo and curiously asked: "With this background, is Shishi's family so rich that she lives in a big villa?"
"It was shot with borrowed scenery."
“I wonder where this is!”
Liu Shishi just looked at the comments quietly without responding, and continued to happily browse Weibo.
Suddenly a comment caught her attention, and she said to herself in disbelief, "No way!"
