Think about the dogtail grass you gave me back then, I still have it in my collection. Do you want me to show it to you?"
Wu Mingyi looked at Jiang Xingyu blankly and asked, "I gave you dogtail grass? How long ago? Are you remembering it wrong?"
Jiang Xingyu stood up and walked to the bookcase and said, "Look, you have forgotten it! I will show it to you."
As he spoke, Jiang Xingyu took out a book from the bookcase and took out a dry and hard foxtail grass sandwiched in the book. "Look, what is this? You gave it to me on my seventh birthday."
,Do you remember it?"
Wu Mingyi looked at the dogtail grass in Jiang Xingyu's hand, and seemed to have some impression, but also seemed not to have any impression at all.
Jiang Xingyu stared at Wu Mingyi and asked, "Have you remembered? This is the first gift you gave me."
Facing Jiang Xingyu's expectant gaze, Wu Mingyi could only nod, "Yes, I remember."
Jiang Xingyu rubbed the stem of the dog's tail grass with his thumb and index finger, raised his chin towards Wu Mingyi and said, "Look, in the eyes of others, this is just a dry dog's tail grass.
But in my eyes, it is our pure friendship, a friendship that is a hundred times more valuable than gold, silver and jewelry. Do you understand?"
Wu Mingyi opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.
Jiang Xingyu continued: "So, no matter what gift you give me, in my eyes, it is a priceless treasure."
Wu Mingyi was speechless, picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said, "Okay, I understand. Caixia, please bring us our makeup gift."
Caixia bent her knees and responded, "Yes!"
Caixia turned to one of the maids holding a brocade box and said, "You come first."
The maid who was called took a few steps forward and walked to the center of the room.
Caixia walked over and opened the brocade box, and said to Jiang Xingyu: "Miss Cousin, this is the headdress that our lady specially asked the head of the Tang Xi family to do for Miss Cousin.
The head and surface are made of pure gold, inlaid with three top-grade Eastern beads and twelve red and sapphires. It is the only one of its kind in the world."
Lianqiu walked over, took the brocade box from the maid's hand, and presented it to Jiang Xingyu.
Jiang Xingyu looked at the dazzling head and face in the box, smiled and bowed to Wu Mingyi, "Thank you, Sister Yi, for your hard work, I like it very much."
Jiang Xingyu looked at it carefully for a while, said some words of thanks, then closed the box and let Lianqiu put it away.
Caixia waited for Jiang Xingyu to lower her head and face before letting another maid come forward.
"Miss Biao, Miss Biao likes Master Shen's paintings from the previous dynasty. Our lady specially added Master Shen's "Heralding of Spring" to Miss Biao's makeup."
Jiang Xingyu stood up in excitement and stepped forward to take a closer look.
She has been looking for this picture of spring by Mr. Shen for a long time, but has never found it.
Unexpectedly, Wu Mingyi found it and gave it to her as a makeup gift.
Jiang Xingyu was moved and bowed twice to Wu Mingyi, "Thank you, Sister Yi.!"
Wu Mingyi smiled and said: "You're welcome, as long as Zhangzhu likes it!"
Jiang Xingyu looked at it carefully for a while before letting Lianqiu put the things away.
Wu Mingyi put down the cup in his hand, raised his head to look at Ning Wei, and said with a smile: "I have received my makeup-adding gift. Where is Miss Ning's makeup-adding gift? Let's also present it for everyone to see."
Jiang Xingyu wanted to say no.
Before she could speak, Wu Mingyi turned to her and said, "Don't be too stingy, Zhanzhu. I'm just curious to see what kind of gift Miss Ning is giving me. Can't you satisfy my curiosity?"
After saying that, Wu Mingyi turned to look at Ning Wei, "Since Miss Ning is adding makeup to her palm, she's not afraid of others seeing it, right?"
Ning Wei smiled and said: "Of course! Sir, let them present the things."
Hu Rui leaned forward and said, "Okay, Ruoqing, Zaohua, please bring the gift box up, be careful."
Wu Mingyi smiled sarcastically and said, "What gift did Miss Ning give to the palm beads? You need to be more careful! Could it be that they are antiques?"
Ning Wei ignored Wu Mingyi's sarcasm and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Miss Wu, you can see it later."
Hu Rui said to Kehan and Fang Ke: "You two, present it first."
Ke Han and Fang Ke each carried a wooden box up.
Hu Rui stepped forward and opened it, revealing two blue and white porcelain vases in front of everyone.
Wu Mingyi was taking a sip of tea and holding it in his mouth. When he saw the vase in the box, he spat out the tea with a pop and then started coughing.
Caixia hurriedly stepped forward to pat her master on the back and said with concern: "Miss, is she choking? Bring a new cup of warm tea."
Wu Mingyi waved his hand and said: "It's okay, it's much better."
The maids and women at the side withdrew one by one, Lianqiu brought tea, Caixia changed a cup of tea for Wu Mingyi, "Miss, drink some warm tea, your throat will feel better!"
Wu Mingyi took the tea cup and took a sip of tea. His throat felt much better.
When Caixia saw her young lady coming over slowly, she consciously stepped back.
Wu Mingyi stood up with the cup in hand, walked to Ke Han and Fang Ke, lowered his head to look at the vases in their hands, then turned to look at Ning Wei, "Miss Ning, is this the makeup you added to your palm? The vase
?”
Wu Mingyi's voice rose, revealing deep contempt.
Ning Wei ignored Wu Mingyi, turned to look at Jiang Xingyu, and said apologetically: "Zhangzhu, the ceremony is a bit gentle..."
Jiang Xingyu interrupted Ning Wei with a smile, "A Wei, what are you talking about? I like these vases very much!"
Wu Mingyi glanced at Ning Wei, twitched the corner of his mouth, put the teacup in his hand back on the table, and said: "I really didn't expect that our palms would say things against our will. I also like the one who talked about it before, and was really good-natured
palm beads."
Jiang Xingyu was going crazy. He looked at Ning Wei worriedly, then turned to Wu Mingyi, "Sister Yi, please speak with caution!"
Wu Mingyi spread his hands and made an innocent expression, "I'm just telling the truth, what did I say wrong?
I just like the palms that used to talk about it, rather than the palms that opened their eyes and talked nonsense."
"you……"
When Ning Wei saw Jiang Xingyu about to get up and argue with Wu Mingyi, Ning Wei quickly reached out and took Jiang Xingyu's hand, "Zhangzhu!"
Jiang Xingyu turned back to look at Ning Wei, who shook his head at her.
Jiang Xingyu took a deep breath and sat back again.
Seeing Jiang Xingyu obeying Ning Weiyan's advice, Wu Mingyi's jealousy was completely overturned.
He said angrily to Ning Wei: "That's enough, why doesn't Miss Ning let the palm bead speak? Who are you? What qualifications do you have to point fingers at the palm bead?"
Faced with Wu Mingyi's unreasonable accusations, Ning Wei was indifferent, but Jiang Xingyu was extremely embarrassed.
Jiang Xingyu couldn't bear it and stood up and said to Wu Mingyi: "Sister Yi, what's wrong with you today?
Well done, why are you so angry?
What kind of makeup Ah Wei puts on me is Ah Wei’s wish. Why do you make fun of Ah Wei? Where is your upbringing?
You understand, you are adding makeup to me, not to you!"
