You know what, Song Jie really put a lot of thought into it. The clothes are just the right size for Xiao Lingling.
And the bright red color makes the little bell look extremely cute.
Xiao Lingling also likes this dress. After all, it has her natal koi embroidered on it, and there is also a little bell that matches her name. She really likes it very much.
Huo Qiuyue was not to be outdone. She held Xiao Lingling in front of her and combed her hair.
Although Xiao Lingling's hair is soft and short and she can't wear any big jewelry or hairpins, she also has a treasure.
She first made two small hair buns for Xiao Lingling, and then put two small hairpins made of pure gold on the hair buns.
The small hairpin is also in the shape of a koi fish, decorated with rubies to form scales, and it sparkles in the sunlight.
Then there is a matching gold necklace and two gold bracelets with bells. Once put on, this set of jewelry will make you look very noble.
After dressing up like this, Little Bell really looks like a fairy who has come down to earth. She is so cute.
Xia Yan was not idle either. She used rouge to put a touch of red on Xiao Lingling's forehead, making her look more lively.
Since she was going to be a godmother, she naturally had to give some small gifts. She took out a jade pendant from her bosom.
The texture of the jade pendant is excellent, delicate and smooth, snow-white all over, and it is the best mutton-fat jade.
A jade pendant with a koi carp engraved on it was made, with Xiao Lingling's name on the back of the pendant, and two small bells hanging on the bottom jade pendant tassel.
These one or two are fine, but Xiao Lingling felt a little nervous when so many things were made into the shape of koi.
Could it be that his identity as the reincarnation of a koi fish has been exposed? It can't all be a coincidence, right?
Actually, it’s not.
The reason why they are all made into the shape of koi is because Xia Yan revealed the fate between herself and Xiao Lingling.
To Yu Xiayan, the little bell is really like a koi fish that is born with good luck.
From the moment she met Xiao Lingling, Xia Yan's life has changed dramatically.
Not only did her health improve, the baby in her womb was saved, and even her half-sister and aunt who had been plotting against her were completely dealt with by her parents.
Therefore, she started preparing this gift early on. Even if she couldn't be the godmother, she would find other reasons to give it away.
Song Jie and Huo Qiuyue were also inspired by this, so they searched the whole city for these treasures overnight.
Although Xiao Lingling was worried, as long as she didn't admit it, no one could do anything to her.
So, she was still happy after all, standing in front of the dressing table and constantly looking at herself in the mirror.
It was noon and the banquet was about to begin, but Wu Bokai arrived late and didn't even have time to change into his official uniform.
"Finally I made it. I'm not late, am I?"
Lin Feng quickly pulled him towards the main table, "No, no, you're just in time!"
Wu Bokai smiled, walked up to Xiao Lingling and pinched her little face.
"I'm glad you're not late, otherwise I wouldn't be able to hear my little girl calling me godfather! Don't worry, godfather brought a gift today, too, hahahaha."
Little Lingling is so happy, she is overwhelmed with gifts~~~
Soon, the banquet officially began.
The protagonists of the family recognition banquet are of course Xiao Lingdang and her three godfathers and godmothers. Xiao Lingdang needs to serve tea to them one by one.
The first ones are Wu Bokai and Xia Yan.
Xiao Lingdang looked serious at the moment. She held the tea in both hands and handed it to Wu Bokai respectfully. She said in a sweet and childish voice, "Godfather, have some tea."
Wu Bokai was extremely happy. He quickly took the tea and drank it all in one gulp.
"Hahaha, good, good, I have another daughter. Here, this is a gift from your godfather.
This is a seal that my godfather made by cutting out a piece of jade that he found in the capital a few years ago.
Your sister Tong has one, and this one is specially made for you. From now on, you are my, Wu Bokai's, daughter!"
The seal is not big and is snow-white all over, with only a touch of red on the lotus carved on the very top, which looks very delicate.
Wu Tongtong also took out hers to show her. It can be seen that it was from a piece of jade. There was also a touch of red under Tongtong's piece, which could be connected with hers.
The little bell baby was put away, and a light flashed from the little hand and covered Wu Bokai's hand.
"Thank you, godfather! Little Bell also wishes you a prosperous career and may all your dreams come true."
Wu Bokai just smiled and didn't take it seriously.
Xia Yan had given the gift before, and this time she gave Xiao Lingling a red envelope, and Xiao Lingling accepted it all.
She leaned over and touched Xia Yan's belly, "Brother, be good and obedient, don't bother mother, okay?
Mommy hasn't slept well recently. If you act naughty again, be careful or you'll get spanked by your sister when you get out."
She didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but as soon as Xiao Lingling finished saying this, she really felt a lot more relaxed.
Afterwards, Liu Jiang and Song Jie not only gave the shop they had mentioned earlier as a gift for recognition of their relationship, but also gave a special wooden sign of Song's Cloth Shop.
Although it is just a wooden sign, it is equivalent to directly giving 10% of the net profit to Xiao Lingdang. Song Jie called it a dowry for Xiao Lingdang.
Although Xiao Lingling didn't care about the dowry, Xiao Qianqian was still very happy and quickly gave it back.
"Then Little Bell wishes Godfather and Godmother a prosperous business, that their shop will grow bigger and bigger, and that they will make more and more money."
Song Jie's heart softened when she heard this. "Okay, your godfather and I will work hard. When the shop makes money, we'll give it all to you! Your brother is useless anyway. He just plays around all day!"
Song Qianzhong's face flushed, "Mom~~~~ You're being unreasonable~~~"
After saying that, Song Qianzhong hid behind his father and refused to show up no matter what was said, which made everyone laugh.
Finally, there are Huo Qiuyue and Sun Yi.
How to say it, Sun Yi is a gentle and elegant person, with a scholarly air.
However, because his family had been in business for generations, he was unable to take the imperial examinations despite his talent, and became frustrated and depressed.
This time, he gave Xiao Lingling the books he had collected for many years. He didn't expect her to pass the imperial examination, but he hoped that his daughter could also be well-educated and well-mannered, instead of thinking that a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent.
Little Bell understood his feelings and accepted it happily, comforting him in a childish way.
"Godfather, the purpose of studying is to gain wisdom. If we talk about this, you have already succeeded.
As for taking the imperial examination and becoming an official, I think it is for the purpose of benefiting the people like Uncle Wu.
If this is your goal, then there are more options than just taking the imperial examinations and becoming an official.
Your ancestors were all benevolent businessmen who donated food and supplies in times of crisis many times, which is why the Sun family has been able to be passed down to this day.
Even if you don't become an official, being a benevolent businessman can still benefit the people and bring blessings to your descendants."
Xiao Lingling's words were simple and straightforward, and no one thought they meant anything. However, to the ears of the scholars, they had a wake-up call.
Not only Sun Yi, but also Wu Bokai, Liu Jiang and Huo Chengze were stunned.
