Chapter 88 Yan'er Challenges Uncle
I opened the door and saw my mother was still making clothes: "Mom is making clothes again."
"Well, there's one last piece left, it's done." Mother Song looked up at Shen Xia.
Shen Xia walked in and looked at the things that Gu Ziyan had sent her before.
There were several pieces of fabric, all of which were silk and satin, and it was obvious that the fabric was of good quality. The only good thing was that fortunately Gu Ziyan had a good level of appreciation, so there were no bright red or dark-colored fabrics, but only low-key and elegant light-colored fabrics.
You can see that there are half colored fabrics for men and half for women, so it is easy to divide them.
I hope that after a while, my fourth brother will be better and can go to school.
So Shen Xia said, "Mom, I may have to work harder for you. I think when Fourth Brother gets better, I will send Xiaowu and Xiaotian to the academy. I would like to trouble you to make a few robes for each of them."
When Song's mother heard this, she said, "Okay, no problem. When I finish making these, I'll make two sets for you first, and then make three for them."
"Mom, you don't have to worry about me. I don't have any important occasions that require me to wear nice clothes. Give them three first." Shen Xia refused.
Seeing Shen Xia's determination, Song's mother agreed.
Seeing that Song's mother agreed, Shen Xia couldn't wait to open the other two boxes, wanting to see what treasures were inside.
When she saw the set of gold and jade jewelry in one of the boxes, she couldn't help but widen her eyes and marveled in her heart.
This set of jewelry is actually a complete set, including bracelets, earrings, head ornaments and hairpins, each of which exudes a dazzling light.
Even from the perspective of a well-informed modern person like Shen Xia, one has to admit that the craftsmanship of this set of jewelry is truly exquisite and breathtaking.
It can be said that modern jewelry craftsmanship is nothing compared to it.
Song's mother naturally noticed the jewelry, and she couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wow, it's so beautiful! Our Xia Xia will look great wearing it."
Hearing Song's mother's praise, Shen Xia laughed happily, and then took the initiative to say: "Mom, which one do you like? Try it on and see."
However, Song's mother quickly waved her hand and refused, "Xia Xia, this is a gift from Madam Gu, it belongs to you. Mother can't accept it, and it's not appropriate for mother to wear such luxurious jewelry."
Shen Xia looked at Song's mother's rejection and didn't force it.
In fact, although I am young, these luxurious jewelry do not match me.
Clothing is about the overall effect. If you want to look good, whether it is hair accessories, makeup, or clothes color and fabric, they must be matched well to achieve the best effect.
So I can’t use these things now.
Then Shen Xia carefully opened another box.
This box was smaller than the previous one and looked more exquisite and luxurious. However, when she opened the lid, she was stunned - it was empty!
Just when she was puzzled, she suddenly found that there seemed to be something strange at the bottom of the box.
She looked carefully and saw a silver bill lying quietly underneath.
Shen Xia picked up the banknote, looked at the number on it carefully, and his eyes widened immediately - it was a full one thousand taels!
She exclaimed inwardly, she had never opened the box before and had no idea there was such a huge sum of money inside.
How could I accept so much money?
But, isn’t this county magistrate too rich?
Just adding up all these things now, I'm afraid it's more than one thousand taels of silver.
The size of the county magistrate's wife's spending is truly staggering.
Shen Xia thought, no matter what, he must go to the county town in person tomorrow and return all these things to the county magistrate's wife.
After all, accepting such a huge amount of money for no reason really made her feel uneasy and guilty.
By the way, I will go into my space in the evening and ask my parents to prepare a few more sets of educational toys for me, such as the Nine Rings and the Rubik's Cube.
Forget it, I will definitely not be able to get these gifts tomorrow. Even if I tell my parents tonight that I need them urgently, they can only buy them tomorrow. I can then go to the county and deliver the gifts and money together.
As night falls, the sky turns dark as ink.
Gu Zizhan has asked the servants twice, but Gu Ziyan has not come back yet.
Just when I was planning to arrange someone to go and ask.
Then Yan'er jumped in happily and said, "Uncle, uncle, I have something to share with you."
Gu Ziyan was seen jogging behind him and calling out, "Pei Moyan, slow down, Mom is going to be angry."
Seeing the little guy running over with two boxes in his arms, he said, "Go slowly. Be careful not to fall again. Your mother will be heartbroken again."
"Uncle, I want to compete with you." The little guy said with his head held high.
"Oh, he must have been out for a day and taken some magic medicine, so he's so confident." Gu Zizhan joked.
"Yes, I took the elixir given by Sister Shen."
Yan'er put the big box aside and took out the Tower of Hanoi: "Uncle, let's have a competition on this."
Gu Zizhan looked at this strange thing: "This is given to you by Miss Shen."
"Yes, it's fun. Sister is the best." Gu Zizhan watched Yan'er praise Shen Xia in various ways.
What did he do to instantly capture the heart of this little guy? Normally, no one takes him seriously at home.
Gu Zizhan looked at Gu Ziyan and Zheng Jinshu
Gu Ziyan said: "The little guy is more interested in new things, so you can play a game with him! You will understand the mystery after you play."
Seeing his sister say this, Gu Zizhan said to the little guy, "Okay, but you have to teach your uncle the rules."
"Okay." After saying that, the little guy also explained the rules while doing it like Shen Xia did.
As an adult, Gu Zizhan of course understood it immediately.
Then the little guy said, "I'll play first,"
"OK,"
Pei Moyan silently recited Shen Xia's slogan in his heart, and then moved one by one. After a while, all of them were moved.
Then he looked at his uncle proudly and said, "Uncle, it's your turn now."
then,
Gu Zizhan was even faster than him and finished moving it in no time.
The little guy was shocked: "How could this happen? Uncle is so powerful, how did you do this?"
Gu Zizhan smiled and said, "I learned it from you!"
"Ah - you are cheating!" The little guy was angry.
Gu Ziyan, who was standing next to him, smiled and said, "You have forgotten what your sister Shen taught you. In this situation, you should hold your ground and test the situation first."
Gu Zizhan raised his eyebrows: "She also knows these."
"Of course, there's more to it than that, brother. You have a really good eye." Gu Ziyan said with a smile.
Gu Zizhan was speechless: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Then Zheng Jinshu next to him also praised: "Shen Xia is really excellent, and different from others, she is also very smart, comparable to you, no, she is better than you, she also knows medical skills, and very well."
Gu Zizhan thought, in just one day, your relationship has become so good that you even call each other by your names.
"There is a blind husband and a comatose husband at home. She cured them all. Although the blind husband is not fully recovered, he can see a little now."
Gu Zizhan was confused after hearing what Zheng Jinshu said. What was going on?
One moment the husband was blind, the next he was unconscious, wasn’t that her husband that day?
Looking at Gu Zizhan's confused look.
Gu Ziyan then told Shen Xia's entire life story.
The key point is that she also said: "Shen Xia only lives in the Song family. She is the nominal co-wife of the Song family and has not yet married."
Gu Zizhan listened to Gu Ziyan expressionlessly.
Gu Ziyan looked at her brother without any expression.
Could it be that I misunderstood?
Just wanted to say a few more words.
Then I heard Gu Zizhan say, "You haven't eaten yet! It's too late. I asked someone to prepare food. It's too late today. Eat early and go back to rest."
"Humph! I'm going to duel with you after dinner," the little guy challenged him.
Gu Zizhan touched his head: "Very confident."
"Of course."
"Okay, let's go eat first."
