Chapter 249 Urging Marriage



"Miss Su, be careful."

Su Zhihui took two steps back and was supported by Dong Shuang in time. Her face turned red instantly. Oh no, this is too rude.

He hurriedly gave Shen Qi'an a dignified bow, "I'm sorry, Mr. Shen."

Then he walked outside with a red face, and Dongshuang hurriedly followed behind him.

Looking at the figure hurriedly going away, Shen Qi'an's word "no problem" got stuck in his throat.

She raised her eyebrows slightly. This Miss Su was Ali's guest. She looked dignified and graceful when she had her coming-of-age ceremony just now. However, looking at her excited look just now, it was inconsistent with her previous expression. It seemed that she was trying to confuse outsiders.

He shook his head and walked towards Chen Li's yard with the box in his hand.

After seeing Su Zhihui off, he returned to his room and found an exquisite sandalwood box on the table.

Sit down. This should have been sent over when she sent Ah Hui away just now. She just sensed a breath approaching, and there was no malicious intent. The most important thing was that she had guessed who it was, so she didn't stop it.

He raised his hand and opened the box. Inside was a set of sparkling ruby ​​​​faces. Judging from the quality of the gems, they should have been cut from the same diamond.

Chen Li opened the second layer, revealing a hairpin and a jade pendant.

This jade pendant looked very familiar. When I picked it up and took a closer look, I realized that this was the jade pendant that Pei Yu carried with him at the beginning. It had a unique pattern and an incomprehensible design on it.

However, this jade pendant seemed to have some meaning. How could he just give it to me like that?

Suddenly I felt the jade pendant in my hand was a little hot, but he was not here now, so I had to put it away and return it to him when I saw him.

He put down the jade pendant and picked up the jade hairpin in the box. The material of this jade hairpin was extraordinary, but the carving craftsmanship seemed a little unfamiliar, and there were slight flaws in some places.

However, the auspicious cloud pattern at the end of the hairpin looks very familiar.

An absurd guess suddenly arose in her mind: Could this have been carved by Pei Yu himself?

hiss!

This is a bit difficult.

During the time they were apart, she was so busy that she had completely forgotten about him. If it weren't for the gift that suddenly appeared today, she didn't know when she would remember Pei Yu.

But now it seems that this guy is in deep trouble!

Difficult!

Forget it, he’s not here anyway, it’s still early for the two-year appointment, and he may not come after two years!

Thinking of this, Chen Li put the jade pendant into the space and placed the other jewelry on the dressing table.

"Ali."

"Fourth brother, come in."

He held a box in his hand and pushed it in front of Chen Li, "This is a gift from your fourth brother."

"Thank you, Fourth Brother."

Chen Li was very happy to receive gifts, especially those from her family. Although she often bought gifts for her family, relationships need to be managed, and only when there is give and take can they last.

"See if you like it?"

Shen Li shook her head, "We'll tear it down tonight."

"OK."

"By the way, Fourth Brother, how many days will you stay this time?"

"After spending the Dragon Boat Festival at home, I will return to the academy the day after tomorrow."

"That's fine."

The brother and sister chatted for a while, and then Shen Qi'an got up and left.

I was very busy today during my half-day off. I made some rice dumplings for customers to try some time ago, and then a lot of them were pre-ordered. I was busy until today and finally finished making all the pre-ordered rice dumplings and sending them to various homes.

The pear filling of the rice dumplings adopted modern diversity and was improved in accordance with the tastes of today's people. A large number of sweet and salty ones were sold. In just five days, he earned 1,000 taels of silver by selling rice dumplings.

As usual, the rice dumplings did not sell well and were only sold to the store’s regular customers.

If it sells well, it will attract too much hatred. Harmony is the most important thing in business, and it is not good to have too many enemies.

Of course, if someone voluntarily offers himself to die, I will not show mercy.

After dinner, Chen Li sat in her room with a pile of gift boxes in front of her.

After rubbing my hands, hehe, today I will experience the ancient version of opening a blind box!

Chen Li picked up one at random and marked the box every time she received a gift.

Of course, you know who sent you the mark. Otherwise, why would you make the mark? Isn’t that bullshit?

This was sent by Lu Nian. There are two boxes, one big and one small. The big box contains a piece of clothing. I found the small box based on my memory. Inside is a set of jewelry that matches the clothes. Both are very beautiful.

The little girl put a letter in the box. When she opened it, the general meaning was that she couldn't come because her brother was busy and didn't want her to go out alone. These few sentences took up most of the letter.

He shook his head and smiled, and it turned out that he still had a bit of a childish mentality.

Next came the gifts from family members, ranging from small items like rouge and powder to large items like clothes and jewelry, which was quite comprehensive.

After dismantling, looking at the items on display, they must have discussed it beforehand, and none of them were repeated.

There was one last box, which was light and should be Lu Jing's. When Chen Li opened it, she found that this guy didn't give her any jewelry or jade, or any rouge and powder, but instead gave her a land deed.

Well, although it is a light one, this gift is indeed quite valuable. However, compared to Pei Yu's, it seems a little lighter, but it is also very hot!

He pressed his temples and opened the door. It was a shop in Suzhou. This shop was exactly what he needed now.

Forget it. When I have time, I will go and ask about the prices in the shops in Suzhou City. Next time we meet, I will convert it into silver and give it to Lu Jing. If he doesn’t accept it, then I won’t accept it either.

After putting away the gifts, I walked back to the room, took a shower, and started my nightly routine.

Chen Li was the only one in her yard. The servants in the house could only clean outside the yard and take care of the flowers and plants. They would not enter her room without her permission.

As the Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, Chen Li has not gone out of the store these days. She will come to the store if there is anything going on.

On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Chen Li took his family to the county town early in the morning, intending to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival in the county town. There was a dragon boat race on the riverside at noon. He booked a private room on the riverside a month in advance, otherwise it would be impossible to book it if he was late.

It was the first time for the little guy in Lin Cuicui's arms to ride in a carriage. He was extremely excited and kept laughing.

Whenever I smile, saliva starts to flow down the corners of my mouth, and I have to change my bibs many times.

Shen Yuanzhou wanted to raise his hand to pinch the little guy's cheek, but was knocked away by Lin Cuicui, "Don't pinch, don't you see that Achi is drooling?"

"So, I just plan to pinch his cheeks." He was also afraid that his eldest nephew's saliva would get on his hands.

"No, you are not allowed to pinch."

"Alright," Shen Yuanzhou stretched out his fingers and poked the fair and tender cheek, "I won't pinch it, I'll just poke it gently, right?"

Lin Cuicui slapped his hand away in anger and said unhappily, "If you like her, go ahead and give birth to her own child. I'll ask a matchmaker to find one for you tomorrow."
