Chapter 146 Choosing Gifts for Family Members

Chapter 146 Choosing Gifts for Family Members

Shen Xia did not refute, and responded directly: "Yes, so, you can't call me cousin from now on. I think I am a few months older than you. Just call me cousin! I will also recognize you as my godmother in the future."

After saying this, Shen Xia looked at Zhao Xue.

After listening to this, Zhao Xue sighed and said, "Ah! Master Gu is so outstanding. My cousins ​​are really far behind him."

Shen Xia smiled and said, "You are so sad for your cousin."

"I can see that my cousins ​​really like you," Zhao Xue continued.

"I know, but love has to be mutual. One-sided love won't last long."

"I heard that Lord Gu is from the capital. What if his family disagrees?" Zhao Xue said worriedly.

"What's the big deal? It's too early for that. We are just dating. If it's a good match, we can get married. If it's not, we can break up. It's nothing. Who said that we have to get married if we are dating? Not to mention that we haven't gotten married yet. Even if we are married, we can still get divorced if it's not a good match!"

People don't need to worry too much about the future.

It’s too early to worry about it. If it doesn’t happen, wouldn’t it be a waste of time?

"What does breaking up mean?" Zhao Xue was puzzled.

Shen Xia thought for a moment: "Dating is like your brother's engagement, and breaking up is like canceling the engagement. It's almost like that, except that it's a matter between two people, and it's not as formal as going through the family."

Zhao Xue was stunned when she heard Shen Xia's words. Her cousin was really different!

Although I think it makes sense!

But I didn't dare to do that, for fear that my mother would break my legs.

In the afternoon, someone from Ji's house came to pick up Shen Xia and they went to Ji's house again. Shen Xia took Zhao Xue with her.

I thought that I would be able to go back after tomorrow, so I wouldn't have much time. After visiting the young lady, I would go shopping with Zhao Xue.

I have enough money now, so I can buy some things for my family.

I remember my mother once told me that I was a person who lived from paycheck to paycheck. I couldn't save any money I had, so I really had to live according to the circumstances.

When we left Ji's house, Mrs. Ji wanted to arrange a carriage to take us back.

Shen Xia refused and wanted to walk along the way.

Mrs. Ji didn't force it.

The two of them went to another street to stroll.

It's not the same street as yesterday.

"Cousin, the Ji Mansion is so big! This is the first time I've seen such a big house." Zhao Xue exclaimed.

"Do you feel comfortable living in such a big house?" Shen Xia asked.

"It's not so bad. Although our house is not good, I think we can just build a new one with everything. It won't need to be so big. There are too few people and it will be lonely."

"Yes, so we don't need to envy others for what they have. What's more important is what suits us."

The two of them walked and talked, the city was so prosperous!

There were a wide variety of goods everywhere, which greatly aroused Shen Xiaxia's shopping desire.

When Shen Xia was about to enter a jewelry store.

Seeing that Zhao Xue behind him had not caught up, he saw her looking somewhere else.

Shen Xia stepped back curiously: "What's wrong? What did you see?"

Zhao Xue came back to her senses: "I seemed to see my uncle just now. It felt like him, but also like him."

Shen Xia was puzzled: "Uncle-in-law? Who is he?"

"Oh, Song Jiang's father!" Shen Xia reacted immediately.

Zhao Xue nodded: "Yes."

"Are you sure?"

Zhao Xue shook her head: "I'm not sure. I followed my father to my aunt's house to visit my uncle for many years, but it's been almost ten years."

Shen Xia didn't take this seriously. After all, there are too many people in this world, and there are many similar people.

"Okay, never mind. There are too many similar people in this world. Let's go in and take a look!"

There are so many things in here, including a lot of hairpins, both men's and women's.

Shen Xia still had a simple wooden hairpin on her head.

I thought that too fancy things were not suitable in the countryside.

So I thought of buying each of them a hairpin, which is a necessity for both men and women.

This kind of silver hairpin is not expensive, and it feels like buying in bulk. There are not only my family members, but also my uncle and cousins, so each of them bought one.

Shen Xia chose a suitable style for her family.

"Cousin, you can choose it yourself. You and Zhao Xin grew up together, so you should know what she likes. Help her choose one."

"This - cousin, you're spending too much!" Zhao Xue looked at the hairpins that Shen Xia had already chosen. There were so many of them, and it was obvious that they were not just from the Song family.

I'm afraid my brother and father both have them. The cheapest hairpin is two taels of silver each, and my cousin chooses them according to style, only those that look good.

So there are both light and heavy cases.

Zhao Xue chose a simple one, and she and her sister also chose a simple one.

Shen Xia put down the one in her hand and picked up the other two on the tray.

Obviously these two are much more beautiful.

Moreover, I clearly saw Zhao Xue looking at these two for a long time and liked them at first sight, but because she didn't want to spend money, she chose the two lighter ones.

This one costs three taels of silver each.

And what she chose just now was only two taels of silver each.

"Cousin——" Zhao Xue looked at Shen Xia in confusion.

"Since you are allowed to choose, choose what you like, because love can last forever."

Zhao Xue watched her cousin pick up the one she liked and said with a smile, "Okay, thank you, cousin."

When they had bought almost everything, they asked the waiter to pack it up, which amounted to forty-one taels of silver.

The two of them carried it back, and seeing that it was almost time,

Gu Zizhan is almost back.

Return to the inn.

My legs feel weak.

Rested for a while.

Then there was a knock on the door.

Looking at Gu Zizhan, Wen Zhu and Zheng Jinshu standing at the door.

Shen Xia smiled. She was originally wondering whether Gu Zizhan would be alone or with several other people. If he was alone, should she bring her cousin with her?

There is no need to hesitate when looking at this group of people.

Shen Xia turned around and looked at Zhao Xue: "Cousin, let's go together."

"Why should I go? Aren't you going on a date?" Zhao Xue asked puzzled.

When Zheng Jinshu heard this, he looked at Gu Zizhan and Shen Xia in disbelief.

Okay!

When did Zizhan take action?

"Let's go, everyone."

Only then did Zhao Xue walk to the door and look at everyone.

It turned out that everyone was going, so they went together.

There are many special places to eat in the city.

Shen Xia didn't understand at all, so she just followed Gu Zizhan silently.

Several people came to a very beautiful ancient building.

At first glance, you can see that the carvings on this house are quite old.

"I've heard about this restaurant for many years. I've eaten there before. Xia Xia, do you want to try it?" Gu Zizhan asked.

"Okay, I'll follow your instructions."

Five people went in.

Everyone sits down together.

Wenzhu originally wanted to pour water for everyone.

Then Gu Zizhan picked up the teapot and poured water for Shen Xia.

Zheng Jinshu handed over the cup with a smile.

Gu Zizhan was fine with himself and Shen Xia, so he placed the teapot in front of Zheng Jinshu.

Everyone couldn't help but smile when they saw Zheng Jinshu's frustrated look.

"Zizhan, you really have no humanity towards the opposite sex!" Zheng Jinshu said dissatisfiedly.

Gu Zizhan said calmly: "You are right about this."

Zheng Jinshu curled his lips: "I'll pour it myself."
