Chapter 697: Thank You Gift
Su Laowu was dressed in a blue bachelor's gown, looking elegant and dignified.
Tang Bao was wearing a goose yellow dress, as fresh and tender as a crabapple flower in bud facing the morning sun.
The brother and sister standing together are really eye-catching.
The old lady looked at Su Laowu and Tang Bao and sighed inwardly.
I never thought that such a remote small county could raise such outstanding brothers and sisters.
The old lady's gaze paused for a moment, specifically on Tang Bao's clothes.
The material of her clothes was gong satin, the pearls on her head were rare red crystal stones, and the necklace around her neck was pure gold, inlaid with top-grade blood jade...
"Your brother and sister are both outstanding people." The old lady praised.
"You're too kind, old lady." Tang Bao said modestly.
But I feel in my heart that the old lady has good vision.
After a few pleasantries, Tang Bao learned that the old lady in front of her was from the capital, her husband's surname was Bai, and she was taking her granddaughter to visit relatives in the provincial capital.
"It turns out to be Old Madam Bai and Sister Bai." Tang Bao said with a smile.
After saying this, he looked at the old lady's hair full of silver frost and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that it was really not easy for the old lady to travel thousands of miles to visit relatives at such an old age.
What's so big a deal that you have to travel all the way from the capital to the provincial capital?
Tang Bao was confused, but naturally she didn't ask.
Old Madam Bai looked at the group of students behind her.
"These are..."
Tang Bao explained, "These are all students from our Fude Academy. They are going to the capital to participate in this year's autumn examination."
A group of elite scholars, seeing the old lady looking at them, nodded politely and greeted her.
The old lady nodded slightly with a friendly expression.
Although he is amiable, he also has a subtle air of nobility.
"They are all rising stars. I believe they are all very talented and will definitely get good grades." The old lady said kindly.
"Thank you for your good wishes, old lady." Tang Bao thanked with a smile.
These students have no idea how fortunate they are to receive a word of praise and a smile from the old lady!
At this time, the old nanny came over holding a box.
"Old lady..." the nanny whispered.
The old lady glanced at the box and nodded slightly.
Then, looking at Tang Bao, he said lovingly, "This is a small gift from me. I hope Miss Su won't despise it."
Following the old lady's words, the nanny brought the box to Tangbao.
Tang Bao naturally wouldn't accept it.
No matter what was in the box, she would not ask for other people's things for no reason.
"That's unacceptable." Tang Bao waved her hands repeatedly and said, "No merit, no reward. I didn't help much, how can I deserve the old lady's thank you gift?"
Seeing this, Su Laowu also said, "My sister is absolutely right. Please take the things back, old lady."
After hearing what the Su brothers and sisters said, the old lady couldn't help but look at them with a higher opinion of them.
Seeing that the Su brothers and sisters were determined not to accept the gift, the nanny couldn't help but open the box, revealing a pair of white jade bracelets inside.
The bracelet is made of fine jade, crystal clear and translucent, and you can tell at a glance that it is of great value.
"Little girl, this pair of bracelets has a small circumference. They belong to our old lady, who wore them when she was your age. They are the only pair in the world." The nanny's tone was filled with pride as she said, "You have caught our old lady's eye, so she gave them to you as a thank-you gift. It can also be considered as a good relationship between us. Don't refuse them, or you will regret it later."
After the nanny finished speaking, she pushed the bracelet towards Tang Bao again.
There was a hint of arrogance on his face, but his eyes were observing Tang Bao's expression calmly.
Tang Bao's expression turned cold, and she said, "Since the old lady has worn it and kept it for so many years, it is obviously her favorite thing. I can't accept it."
Tang Bao said this, and then changed her tone and said: "As for regret, I don't think there is anything worth regretting."
Even if you are the Queen of Heaven or the Bodhisattva in the Nine Heavens, what does it matter if the things have been used?
Well, if it really was something used by the Bodhisattva in heaven, and I missed it—
Well, maybe, perhaps, I will regret it.
No!
It's for sure! Definitely! And definitely! I will regret it!
But this is just an old lady.
Although there is a faint scent of sandalwood on his body and a long string of Buddhist beads hanging around his neck, he can't be a Bodhisattva from heaven, right?
After Tang Bao finished speaking, her eyes were cold, her chin slightly raised, and she looked at the old lady with a distant expression.
"Cui Lian, please take the things back." The old lady said lightly.
"yes."
The nanny agreed, bowed and retreated with the box in her hands.
The old lady looked at Tang Bao, a glint of admiration in her eyes.
"I'm sorry for my rude behavior, please don't mind, young lady." The old lady said apologetically.
Tang Bao curled the corners of his mouth and said nothing.
The meaning is very clear: I mind a lot!
The cold and indifferent expression formed a sharp contrast with the liveliness and naivety just now.
The old lady couldn't help but laugh when she saw Tang Bao like this.
Especially when she saw Tang Bao's round little face tense and her rosy lips pursed, like a naughty child, the old lady's smile became even more pronounced.
Well, the little girl is still a child.
When the old lady thought of this, she liked Tang Bao even more.
After being used to seeing flattery, this kind of girl with a true nature actually makes people like her more.
The old lady took two steps forward and took off the white Buddhist beads on her wrist. She said, "I don't want to accept such vulgar things. But this string of beads has been with me for ten years and has a little bit of the Buddha's fragrance. It is indeed a very good thing. I will give it to you today."
After the old lady finished speaking, she reached out and took Tang Bao's hand, and was about to put the Buddhist beads on Tang Bao's wrist.
"Old lady!"
"grandmother!"
The old lady and Miss Bai spoke at the same time.
However, the old lady was shocked and hesitated to speak.
Miss Bai's pupils shrank and her face was filled with fear.
Of course, because Miss Bai was wearing a veil, no one could see her expression.
The old nanny shouted but didn't dare to stop her.
Miss Bai was different. She reached out to grab the Buddhist beads.
No! It's not the beads, it's the old lady's hand.
The old lady turned around in surprise.
"Ning'er?"
My granddaughter has always been tactful, when has she ever been so reckless?
No matter how precious this string of Buddhist beads is, you can't stop it in such an inappropriate way, right?
Miss Bai stopped with an embarrassed look on her face.
Because she found that Tang Bao's wrist was empty.
The emerald green "bracelet" that frightened her was gone.
She remembered that the bracelet was on the left wrist of this little girl Su.
That's why she subconsciously stopped her grandmother from touching Miss Su's left wrist.
But now, how should she explain her actions?
"Grandma, granddaughter, granddaughter..."
Miss Bai stammered, looking embarrassed, not knowing what to say.
