After falling into the water, I robbed the future first assistant of the marriage!

Chapter 18
"You will know tomorrow."

Shen Tu remembered that when she went to the museum, she saw a very beautiful hand stove. She couldn't remember the dynasty, but both the style and the pattern on the stove were unforgettable.

Because she liked it so much, she studied the material and patterns of the hand stove after returning home, so that she can draw them now.

It was already dead of night, and the candles on the table were dancing lightly.

"Qiqiao, go to sleep, you don't have to wait for me." Shen Tu said, sweeping over Qiqiao who was lying on the table with her head propped up and nodding.

The drowsiness has already reached the top of the sky, Qi Qiao forcefully opened her eyelids, "How long does it take Miss?"

"Come on, go to sleep, you have to get up early tomorrow morning."

"The lady, I'm going to sleep."

"Ah."

Early the next morning, Shen Tu took last night's results and went out with Qiqiao.

When she was the second young lady, she seldom walked through the main entrance, so as to avoid confusion and unnecessary trouble.

To make such a hand stove, she didn't have enough silver in her hands. Except for the pair of jade bracelets left by Bai Lianhua's mother, she had to pick up some of the rest of the jewelry and take them to the pawn shop for silver.

"Qiqiao." She handed some hairpins and earrings wrapped in a handkerchief to her, "Go to the pawn shop to replace these, and then go to the shop that sells hand stoves on the East Street to find me."

Qiqiao was very surprised, "Miss is going to sell these?"

"Ah."

"These are Miss' favorite hair pins and earrings."

"I'll just buy some beautiful ones in the future," she said, "Now grandma's birthday gift is the most important thing."

Although the little maid was reluctant to part with it, she took it anyway.

In the days before the birthday banquet, Shen Cu stayed in the hand stove shop on the east street. The shop was run by father and son, and it was said that it was an ancestral handicraft.

"Girl, are you giving away this hand stove?"

"Well, it's a gift." She replied.

"No wonder." The boss shook his head, "The requirements are so high."

……

"Shili, let's buy a new stove for mother." Xiao Shiyi said, "Her one is old and out of shape."

"Okay." Xiao Shili also looked into the shop, "Buy one for elder brother too!"

Shen Tu, who was working with her head down, didn't notice the people standing outside the store. She raised her head only after the boss made a noise, but she lowered her head after just one glance. When she realized who was coming, the person had already entered.

She was surprised, isn't this the second and third child of the Xiao family?Why are you here on the East Street?
But now she looks like the fifth miss of the Qi family, so they probably don't know each other.

"Do you want to buy a hand stove?" The boss clapped his hands and stood up.

"I want the best for you."

"The best?" The boss scanned the shelves, "This is the best hand stove."

"I want the one in that girl's hand, it's exactly the same." Xiao Shili said.

"Young master has a good eye, but—"

"Just what?" Xiao Shiyi pulled off the purse from his waist, "Afraid we can't afford it?"

"Of course not." These few looked like wealthy people in their clothes, and they wanted to buy his shop.

"This hand stove was made according to the girl's request, and it is the only one." The boss asked why.

"Only this one?" Xiao Shiyi suddenly became unhappy, "I'll pay double the money to buy this one in her hand."

When Shen Tu heard this, he couldn't help snorting in his heart, he really was rich and powerful,

"I'm sorry, my son, but this is only a limited edition, the only one."

"I don't know if the girl is willing to sell it to me." Xiao Shili said.

Shen Tu raised his head and showed a fake smile, "I'm sorry, we can't sell it."

"Shili, let's go." Xiao Shiyi threw off his sleeves and put his back behind his back, "I don't believe that there is no other family."

"It would be strange for another family to have it." Shen Tu whispered, but Xiao Shili still heard it.

"Shili, what are you looking for? This store has no eyesight, so hurry up and leave."

"Be careful."

"What are you laughing at, Shili?"

"No, let's go, let's go to another house to see."

They wanted to buy a novice stove for their mother today. The eldest brother has been staying in his yard for the past few days, and he would not say anything when asked.

There were no customers, and the boss went back to continue working on his stove.

On the day of the birthday banquet, the Minister's Mansion was extremely lively.

Qi Shilang and the eldest lady greeted the guests in the front yard, and the eldest lady and uncle also came back.

As soon as it was daylight, Shen Tu was awakened by Qiqiao.

"Qiqiao, let me sleep a little longer."

"Miss, today is the old lady's birthday banquet, so I can't sleep anymore."

"Just for a while." Shen Tu's voice was still confused, "How can anyone come to give gifts so early."

Shen Tu got up amidst the chattering voice.

"Miss, I want to dress more festively today."

"Miss, which hairpin do you want to wear today?"

"Just make up your mind."

"Miss, use this box of new rouge today!"

"You decide."

"Miss……"

"Qiqiao."

"I'm hungry."

"Then I'll go and get some food for the lady."

"go quickly!"

Her ears have finally been cleared up. She is the most unhappy fifth lady in the manor. In today's birthday banquet, she is just an unimportant supporting role, ordinary is fine.

Qi Qiao came back soon, and when she saw Shen Tu changed her clothes, she was puzzled, "Why did Miss change her clothes?"

"It's not pretty," she said.

"That's Miss's favorite, and she's not willing to wear it on weekdays." Qiqiao put the plate in her hand on the small table, and went forward to comb Shen Tu's hair.

The Minister's Mansion rarely holds banquets, at least in the few years Shen Cu has been here, he has never seen a lively banquet held in the mansion.

When I went to give my grandmother a birthday gift, Qi Yue happened to be there too.

I saluted my grandmother and celebrated her birthday. After the birthday gift was presented, she waited by the side like Qi Yue.

"I don't know what the fifth sister's birthday gift to grandma is."

"Naturally not as precious as the second sister."

"Fifth Sister has seen the birthday gift I prepared for grandma?"

It's really cheap and good to sell.

"Naturally not." She said, "It's just the second sister, don't you remember the past?"

"No."

"What are you two talking about?" Qi Shilang's voice can always tear people apart.

"The guests are coming soon, don't cause trouble for me." During the lecture, Qi Shilang stared directly at Shen Tu.

"Go back to Daddy, please don't worry." She lowered her head and her voice was earnest.

"My lord." Yu Cai hurriedly came from outside, "Master Xiao, Mrs. Xiao and Mr. Xiao are here."

"I'll come right away." Qi Shilang patted the hem of his clothes and walked towards the hall.

Qin Yurong immediately followed, Wang Liuying could only roll her eyes at Qin Yurong's back.

"Second girl, you go too." The old lady said to Qi Yue, "Go to see Shi Lian, he must have come with his mother."

"Yes, grandmother."

Shen Tuna was resentful and angry, he was obviously her man, not only could she not recognize each other, but she had to see him meet her man.

"Fifth girl."

Hearing the old lady call her, she immediately withdrew the resentful look on her face, lowered her head slightly, "Grandmother."
