Chapter 341: Mrs. Qin’s Birthday Gift
The reason why Xu Zhichun asked Nanny Qin Qing to buy so many small porcelain bottles was that she planned to give two bottles each to Zeng Xiaoyan, Zeng Xiaojuan, and Aunt Zhuer.
The essential oil with a light floral scent was given away, and Zeng Xiaoyan and the others really liked it and were so precious that they came to express their gratitude.
No woman can resist the temptation of this kind of thing.
On Mrs. Qin's birthday, Nanny Qin Qing prepared lunch in advance. Chunfen stayed at home to look after the house, while Nanny Qin Qing and Muxiang accompanied Xu Zhichun.
Xu Zhichun arrived neither too early nor too late. After hearing the report from the doorman, Mrs. Qin hurriedly came out to greet him with a smile.
The relatives, friends and other female guests who had already arrived also came out to greet them.
"Mrs. Xu is here!"
"Mrs. Qin, happy birthday!"
"Thank you, Madam Xu. Please come in."
Mrs. Qin happily led Xu Zhichun to the main hall. The female relatives gathered together, smiling and whispering in their ears.
"This is Mrs. Xu."
"yes."
"I knew Madam Xu was young, but I didn't expect her to be so young."
"Mrs. Xu is so capable at such a young age. It's really enviable. I can't help but admire her!"
"Mrs. Xu looks so elegant and intelligent. No wonder she's so powerful."
"What a pity that her husband died when she was so young."
"Shh, don't mention this. Madam Xu was deeply in love with her late husband and can't bear to hear this."
"ah!"
“.”
When they arrived at the main hall, Xu Zhichun presented a birthday gift. Mrs. Qin hurriedly asked the nanny beside her to take it personally and thanked him with a smile.
The more prestigious the gift is, the more it should be displayed for guests to appreciate, which shows how much you value and respect the gift giver.
If the gift was given by someone else, there would definitely be many guests laughing and making fun of it, wanting to see the gift given by Mrs. Shanci, so that everyone could broaden their horizons and gain more knowledge.
After all, generally speaking, the more prestigious the person, the higher-end and even rarer the gifts given are. Showing them off on purpose is indeed a very proud thing.
But this kind and compassionate lady Xu Zhichun is different from others.
Her family has shallow roots and she has lived in the countryside for a long time. It was only at the end of last year that she suddenly emerged and became the most prestigious lady in the area.
Where did her family get such high-end and rare items as gifts?
The emperor did reward her with a lot of good things, but those were all royal gifts. Regardless of whether she was willing to give them away or not, it was not against the rules.
She dared to give it, but Mrs. Qin didn't dare to accept it.
So everyone was very tactful and just spoke in a friendly and friendly manner. No one was so tactless as to suggest that they wanted to appreciate the gift sent by Mrs. Xu to "open their eyes."
But not everyone is so sensible.
For example, Qin Xiuhe, Mr. Qin’s younger sister and Mrs. Qin’s sister-in-law.
Qin Xiuhe had previously done something wrong and disappointed Master Qin so much that he ruthlessly forced her to return to her husband's home.
Qin Xiuhe came here with great ambition and determination to win the Qin family's property, but she ended up returning home in disgrace like a stray dog. When she got home, she was too ashamed to face her husband and mother-in-law who had made such a boast, and was mocked and ridiculed by her mother-in-law.
She did not say that her husband's family was greedy. Instead, she resented her elder brother and sister-in-law for being heartless and for not being able to see clearly.
They are fools to want a fool to inherit the huge family business of Qin family in the future. What else can they do but fools?
Just because they refuse to face reality, does that mean their son is mentally retarded?
I am kind-hearted and willing to let my two sons help inherit and protect the Qin family business. What's wrong with that?
It was the eldest sister-in-law's birthday, and the couple came with their two sons to celebrate. It was obvious that the eldest brother and sister-in-law had become much colder towards their family.
Her husband tentatively brought up a few business matters, but her eldest brother changed the subject without hesitation.
She wanted to withdraw one or two thousand silver coins from the account, but her sister-in-law refused.
What made her even more angry was that she asked her elder brother and sister-in-law to bring Ning An back earlier so that she could play more with Tianrui and Tianyao.
Cousins should communicate more with each other, maybe the eldest brother and his wife will change their minds?
Unexpectedly, they refused, saying that Ning An's studies were more important and they would pick him up on the day before the big day.
Qin Xiuhe was so angry that her face turned green.
Homework is important? With that little idiot's IQ, even if he studied until midnight every day, what could he learn? The idea that homework is important is a joke!
My cousins haven't come for a long time. What's wrong with him taking a few days off to come back and play with them?
Did it delay his chances of becoming the top scorer in the imperial examination?
The silly boy finally came back yesterday afternoon. Tianyao and Tianrui asked him to go out and play but he refused to go. His sister-in-law even said that he was tired from studying and just came back home to rest.
Tianrui took a fancy to an inkstone in his bedroom, but he refused to give it to his elder brother and sister-in-law, who acted as if nothing had happened. Tianrui told his elder brother that he also wanted such an inkstone, but his elder brother actually told Tianrui to go to his own father to buy it.
So petty!
He doesn't even have the responsibility of being an uncle.
After Qin Xiuhe came back, she was so angry that she couldn't calm down.
She was angry with herself, and the complaints from her husband and two sons kept piling up in her heart. Today, when she saw that her eldest sister-in-law's birthday party was so grand and solemn, the resentment in her heart reached its peak!
Seeing that everyone was praising Xu Zhichun, Qin Xiuhe was even more envious and jealous.
She secretly despised her in her heart. What kind lady, what model of virtue? Before last year, who was she? Not even worthy of her even looking at her straight in the eye.
If it weren't for the help of the Qin family, she wouldn't have the reputation she has today.
Now he's been so arrogant that he ignored me when I saw him, not even saying hello. He's really a mean person who has achieved success.
Qin Xiuhe didn't think about it. She and Xu Zhichun had no feelings for each other. Her two sons almost harmed Liang Mingxuan and almost ruined Liang Mingxuan's reputation. It was generous of Xu Zhichun that he didn't deliberately target her. Why did she think that Xu Zhichun should take the initiative to greet her?
Qin Xiuhe, like all the other female guests, had clearly concluded that any birthday gift Xu Zhichun could give was mediocre and could be bought anywhere. Feeling unhappy, she was ready to stir up trouble, so she feigned interest and said with a smile, "Madam Shanci is of high status, so her gift must be something special. Why don't you open it and let us all see it and broaden our horizons?"
Qin Xiuhe raised her chin and smiled politely and kindly, as if she really wanted to meet Xu Zhichun and deliberately praised him so that Xu Zhichun could show off his gift to show off his strength and gain face.
The guests looked at each other in confusion.
Some people secretly thought that Aunt Qin was really tactless, while others couldn't help but feel embarrassed for Xu Zhichun and couldn't bear to watch it.
Madam Qin glanced at Qin Xiuhe angrily, then quickly smiled and said, "There's no rush to look at these birthday gifts. I was just about to invite everyone to the garden to enjoy the flowers. I just got a few pots of beautiful peonies a few days ago. I bought them from the provincial capital at a high price, and they're in full bloom."
