Chapter 692: Not Qualified to Give Gifts
"Did Mrs. Chen make this skirt herself?" Fu Zhaoning asked.
"Not only was it sewn, but all the peonies on it were embroidered by my mother stitch by stitch! You don't know how much time it took my mother to embroider a peony skirt like this, and how much silk thread it took to embroider it. It almost made my eyes tired."
Chen Haozhu never expected that her mother would take out such a peony skirt and give it to Fu Zhaoning.
She felt a little sad and reluctant.
My mother originally wanted her to wear this skirt when she met her in-laws after getting married. It took her eight months to embroider this skirt. It took her eight months because her mother embroidered very quickly, faster than other embroiderers.
If it were someone else, it might take a year to finish the embroidery.
Now she actually gave this skirt to Fu Zhaoning.
Chen Haozhu was really afraid that Fu Zhaoning wouldn't know the value of the product.
"This skirt is so luxurious and beautiful, and extremely rare." Dong Huanzhi also praised.
Elder Ji nodded and said, "This skirt really suits my good disciple. If someone else wears it, it may not look good."
Chen Haozhu paused.
What did Mr. Ji mean by this? Is it that no other woman besides Fu Zhaoning is worthy of such a gorgeous dress?
In his eyes, his apprentice is the most beautiful, right?
"I can't accept such a precious dress."
Although Fu Zhaoning liked the dress very much, if she saw it outside, she would also want to buy it, but since it was given to her for no reason, she really couldn't accept it.
"Miss Chen, please put it on yourself." She said again.
Chen Haozhu always felt that something was not right when she said this. Mr. Ji had just said that other people couldn't wear it to any effect, but Fu Zhaoning asked her to wear it herself. What did this mean?
If Fu Zhaoning knew what she was thinking, he would probably think she was crazy.
"Please don't refuse, Miss Fu. I have nothing but a little skill. If you don't accept it, you are showing disdain for me," said Mrs. Chen.
Fu Zhaoning looked at her and suddenly smiled.
"Actually, we are strangers. Even if I join the Great Medical Association, you won't have to send me a gift."
This was said very impolitely, and it can be said that there was no mercy shown.
It is equivalent to saying: Even if I join the Great Medical Association, the people who should send gifts should be relatives and friends, not just anyone is qualified to send them.
Mrs. Chen is one of those people who is not qualified to give gifts.
"You're going too far, aren't you?" Chen Haozhu cried out in disbelief. "My mother sent you a gift out of good intentions, and you actually said that?"
Dong Huanzhi was also stunned.
"Receiving gifts is not a simple matter. If someone you have no relationship with gives you a big gift, who would believe you if you say you have nothing to ask for? So, Madam Chen, why don't you just tell us what you want? That way, everyone will save trouble."
Fu Zhaoning doesn't have the habit of giving others some face in any situation.
The main reason was that Mrs. Chen inexplicably brought out such a luxurious dress and gave it to her, which was itself a bit strange.
They were complete strangers, so to speak.
Furthermore, what Chen Haozhu said just now seemed to be saying that she was getting a huge advantage by being given a skirt that took so much time and effort to make.
In addition, the fact that Chen Haozhu had previously run to their yard and flirted with Xiao Lanyuan made Fu Zhaoning lose his good temper.
This gift was given in a condescending manner, and she should be grateful and accept it with thousands of thanks, right?
Mrs. Chen did not expect that Fu Zhaoning would have such a personality.
Any normal girl would like this skirt and accept it immediately when she sees it. In any case, she would be more tolerant of them because of the skirt.
She wasn't bragging. Even if she sent a dress like this to the palace, she would receive a lot of admiration and praise.
All the ladies in the palace will like it.
Why can Fu Zhaoning be so calm?
But Mrs. Chen quickly calmed down. Since Fu Zhaoning was like this, she would be more straightforward.
"Excuse me, but I do have an unreasonable request."
Fu Zhaoning raised his eyebrows and signaled her to speak directly.
"You should be going back to Zhao soon, right?"
"good."
"Can you please take Haozhu and I to the capital? My mother and I don't dare to walk this long journey alone, and we can't go. If we can follow you, it will be a blessing. When we arrive in Zhaoguo's capital, we can settle down by ourselves and won't bother you anymore."
Dong Huanzhi was stunned by Mr. Chen's words.
"You, you are going to the capital of Zhaoguo? Are you unhappy living here?" Dong Huanzhi had never expected that Mrs. Chen and her daughter actually wanted to leave Jicheng.
He was even a little shocked.
Because before this, Mrs. Chen had not told him anything.
How much do the mother and daughter distrust him?
Mrs. Chen looked at him apologetically and said, "Mr. Dong, I'm sorry that I didn't tell you before. We have lived in Jicheng for more than four years. Thanks to your care, we have no worries and are living happily."
"Then why——" do you want to leave?
"I want to give Haozhu a better place to go. After all, Haozhu is still young, and there are more opportunities in the capital."
Hearing her say this, Dong Huanzhi understood what she meant.
Dong Huanzhi knew that Ji Cheng had never found a husband that Chen Haozhu liked.
But is there one in the capital of Zhaoguo?
"There's no need to go to Zhaoguo, you can go back to the imperial capital." Why go far away?
"We are not used to living in the imperial capital." Mrs. Chen interrupted him with just one sentence.
Dong Huanzhi was about to say something, but Mr. Ji glared at him.
This disciple is good in every way except that he lacks a little bit of wisdom.
She is an orphan and a widow, why is he so concerned about her? Does he really want to marry Madam Chen as a concubine?
"Miss Fu, we will behave ourselves along the way and will definitely not cause you any trouble." Mrs. Chen looked at Fu Zhaoning again.
It can be seen that she has made up her mind.
Fu Zhaoning looked at Xiao Lanyuan.
What do you think, do you agree or not?
Xiao Lanyuan raised his eyes slowly.
Can.
They were all curious about this embroidery skill and wanted to find out more about it.
Mrs. Chen should have made up her mind to go to the capital of Zhao State. I believe that even if they do not agree, the mother and daughter will still go.
Rather than letting them not know when and with whom to go, it is better to keep them under your supervision from the beginning.
"If you really want to go, wait until I have made arrangements here and I will take you there—"
Dong Huanzhi couldn't help but speak.
He didn't feel very reassured about letting them go with his junior sister. He was also worried that Chen Haozhu might do something inappropriate on the road. And he was a little reluctant to let them go.
Mr. Ji almost rolled his eyes to the sky.
Want you to escort?
Mrs. Chen shook her head. "We already owe you a lot."
