Hidden golden branches

Brothers Chen Zhao and Chen An gave her gifts that were in line with their intentions. What Chen Zhao gave her that day was a pressed pearl with twelve thumbnail-sized pearls. It was smooth and eye-catching. The twelve beads were the same size. The luster is round and round, and they are rare good beads of average size.

Chen An gave a box of various jade seeds, so that Chen Rong could use beads or gold and silver to find jade craftsmen to inlay them.

Ji Yuxian originally wanted to wait until the people around Chen Rong had dispersed before he came forward to give gifts. Unexpectedly, the people around her had dispersed, and suddenly a young man wearing a navy blue robe, tall and tall, with a magnificent appearance appeared out of nowhere. .

This young man is Chen Rong's cousin Yun Sheng, who is currently the sixth-grade general Wei Qian.

The Yun family has been a scholarly family for generations, but Yun Sheng was an outlier. He liked to dance with swords and sticks since he was a child. When he grew up, his father Yun Yanyun followed his son's wishes and took up military service.

Yun Sheng has loved Yu Xue's smart cousin since he was a child. He once told his mother that he would marry Rong Rong's cousin when he grew up. However, his cousin actually fell in love with the arrogant Sun Yi, so he was told to give up his thoughts and accept the marriage proposal from his family.

Unexpectedly, the stupid Sun Yi unexpectedly regretted his marriage. Yun Sheng was overjoyed and thought to himself: His chance has come.

Then he told his mother, Mrs. Wen, that he wanted to regret his marriage. How could the Yun family, which had strict rules and a clean family tradition, agree to Yun Sheng's request?

How could the Yun family do something so dishonorable and damaging to the woman's reputation as regretting the marriage?

My father Yun Yanyun, who is far away in Yangzhou, will not allow such an incident to happen!

"Cousin, I wish you a happy birthday." Yun Sheng took an exquisite camphor wood box from Chang Sui's hand and handed it to Chen Rong.

Chen Rong smiled and took the box, "Thank you, cousin."

Chen Rong smiled and took the jewelry box that Yun Sheng gave her as a gift. Seeing her soft smile, Yun Sheng's heart softened. He wanted to see her look even happier, so he said softly, "Cousin, why don't you open it?" Look at this birthday gift?"

Chen Rong was slightly startled. Seeing what he said, he nodded and reached out to open the box. Inside was a box of rare large pearls of various colors.

Compared to those pearls and jade jewelry, Chen Rong prefers beads of various colors.

Whether it is a pearl or a dong pearl, she loves all beads.

Chen Rong often went to her maternal grandfather's house when she was a child. As her cousin, why didn't she know her little cousin's preferences?

When Chen Rong first saw these beautiful beads, his eyes lit up. Then he picked them up and looked through them. The surprise in his eyes almost overflowed, "My cousin is interested."

Yun Sheng smiled and said: "It seems that my cousin sent me the right gift."

It doesn't matter whether the gift is high or low, what's important is that the gift is something the other person likes.

Chen Rong was like a child who had found a toy. He looked up at Yun Sheng, his black eyes shining brightly: "Cousin, where did you find this? It's so beautiful."

"As long as your cousin likes it, you can keep these marbles for you to play with." Yun Sheng expressed his doting affection without words.

Although the guests are all extremely wealthy, what good things have you not seen?

But it is inevitable that a few short-sighted guests took a breath and said, "How awesome!"

Especially Lu's mother and daughter.

Chen Ying also came to watch the ceremony with her husband Gu Li. When she and her sister Chen Fu saw that Chen Rong and her hairpin ceremony were arranged in a luxurious manner, unlike their simple and elegant ceremony, they felt as uncomfortable as a big stone in their hearts.

"Ahem, cousin, I'm not a child." Chen Rong said with a blushing face.

Yun Sheng remembered that Chen Rong loved playing marbles when he was a child. He once gave Shunlai his aunt's pearl bracelet to play with as marbles on the ground.

Of course, that time she was inevitably punished by the Yun family for copying "The Female Ring".

Because Chen Rong was still young at that time, he couldn't even recognize the characters, and he was still copying books! In the end, Yun Sheng secretly copied it for her. Although Yun Man could tell at a glance that it was not his daughter's handwriting, he didn't pursue it.

Copying books is not the purpose, her purpose is to make her daughter realize her mistakes.

Chen Rong also remembered the embarrassing things in his childhood and looked at Yun Sheng curling up his lips in embarrassment.

Yun Man smiled and said: "Sheng'er, I see you are doting on her more and more."

"Sister-in-law, as long as my cousin is happy, that's fine." Yun Sheng said to Yun Man who was standing above him with a smile.

The two brothers Chen Zhao and Chen An looked at each other and shook their heads. Their faces remained silent, but they secretly cursed their cousin who was always good at pleasing his sister.

Seeing that their cousins ​​seemed to have endless topics to talk about, Ji Yuxian hurriedly handed the gift in his hand to Chen Rong: "Rong Rong, this is the Bodhi bracelet I found from a foreign country. I hope you like it, Rong Rong."

Chen Rong tapped the box in his hand with his fingertips. It could be seen that it was made of good small rosewood.

The outside of the box is clearly engraved with various intricate patterns, and the four sides are decorated with tortoiseshell shells. It can be seen that this box alone is worth a small amount of money.

When I opened the lid of the box, before I could see the jewelry inside clearly, I saw the gold-lacquered characters engraved on the back of the lid.

Happy birthday to you, my fifteenth birthday.

These eight characters were written in regular regular script, and were coated with a thin layer of gold paint. Because they were polished so brightly, they shone brightly in the lights on the eaves, as if they were a brand.

Burning to the heart.

The gift in the box is a ginger Bodhi seed bracelet.

Although Chen Rong didn't quite understand what was special about this, Ji Yuxian's stepmother said that Ji Yuxian had spent a lot of effort to find it from a foreign country. This Bodhi bracelet could ward off evil spirits and avoid disasters for her, and keep her healthy and prosperous. .

Chen Rong touched the Bodhi seed bracelet from his hand. It was very smooth and comfortable. He heard that it was a rare thing found from foreign countries, so he happily accepted it. He smiled at Ji Yuxian and said, "Thank you, Brother Ji. I like very much."

Her friend Yue Wanshu gave her a red gold and turquoise hairpin. In order to buy this hairpin, Yue Wanshu saved her pocket money for several months before buying the latest red gold and turquoise hairpin from Rumengzhai.

On the other hand, the gifts given by sisters Chen Ying and Chen Fu were appropriate and ordinary.

The gift given by Chen Ying was a little more decent than that of her younger sister Chen Fu. After all, she was a newly married bride and could not lose the Gu family's face, so she gave her a pair of pearl earrings. It's a very ordinary style, the pearl is not big, but it is exquisite and small.

Chen Fu simply gave Chen Rong a purse embroidered with Baji patterns and blue and purple tassels. However, taking Chen Rong's poor embroidery work as an example, this purse's embroidery work was very good.

Chen Zhao looked towards Yue Wanshu with dark eyes and saw the little girl pouting her lips towards him with a shy face.

But when he met the little girl's eyes, he felt that she was not looking at him. He followed her gaze suspiciously and saw his brother Chen An looking forward with gentle eyes.

Chen Zhao's heart sank suddenly. How could he not know that his younger brother was looking at Yue Wanshu?

It's impossible that those gentle eyes were directed at the Chen Ying sisters beside Yue Wanshu!

Chen An: The gift given by Ji Yuxian is the best for my sister. Is it because my eldest brother is in a bad mood that he is "jealous"?

Chen Zhao: Humph! What's the matter with Ji Yuxian? It's you, what does it mean when you wink at the girl I like?
