83. Chapter 83: Throw Me a Peach and Return a Li 4
After another seven or eight days of work, Danyang's purse was finally finished. However, I always looked at the embroidery on the purse that showed two ducks swimming.
Danyang caressed the two mandarin ducks on his purse that looked like water ducks, and shyly said to me: "I have to thank you for the matter between me and Chang Mu..."
Alas, love is really powerful. Danyang was originally a masculine lady. Not only did she carefully become a female celebrity, but she was also so shy. Alas, I guess she became a good friend with my fifth senior brother.
I pursed my lips and smiled, "Danyang, one day, you will become my fifth sister-in-law, so you have to take good care of my sister-in-law!"
Danyang blushed and didn't agree.
I secretly smiled and embroidered two small beads on my lotus-shaped purse. Danyang glanced at it and said teasingly: "Lotus and wood, are you embroidering this purse for an unmarried man?"
Hearing what she said, I felt a chill all over my body. Danyang's purse was meant to be given to her lover, but who was mine going to?
In the evening, Brother Xiaobai saw the purse I embroidered, took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, and said, "How come the centipede you embroidered has two heads?"
How could this be a centipede? These are obviously two lotus flowers on a green branch!
I was so ashamed and angry that I stretched out my hand to grab it, but Senior Brother Xiaobai turned aside and tied my double lotus around his waist, "You don't have a lover anyway, so just give this to me, it'll save you money."
If I give it to others, I will lose my face."
I looked at the purse hanging on Senior Brother Xiaobai's waist, and for some reason, the corners of my eyes felt a little sore...
After a long while, Senior Brother Xiaobai shook his fan and raised his lips, "Rong'er, you are looking at me hazy, could it be that you have feelings for me?"
I looked at him in surprise——
Rong...Rong'er?
How is it that this time... how is it similar to that day when we were drinking by the lotus pond? The sweet-scented osmanthus wine brewed by the Xu family has become so strong. It has been more than a month, and his wine that day has not yet sobered up?
Since he was still drunk, there was not much he could say or do, so I tried my best to look as calm and indifferent as a lady.
Brother Xiaobai chuckled lightly, shook his fan, and slowly walked out of my embroidery room.
It was Mrs. Xu’s birthday. Our senior brothers and sisters raised the statue half an arm high to congratulate Mrs. Xu on her birthday with the crystal clear white jade Guanyin. Mrs. Xu, who was used to seeing gold, silver and jade, was also overjoyed.
This time, because Mr. Xu's three-year period of filial piety has not yet expired, the birthday banquet was not held in a big way. I took a look and saw that "The Romance of the West Chamber" was sung in the hall. Only Mrs. Xu and the two Xu brothers and sisters were present at the banquet.
There are four of us senior brothers and sisters.
After three rounds of banquets, Young Master Xu raised his glass to the fifth senior brother and said, "Brother Chang, Danyang has suffered a lot in these years. From now on, I, this girl, will have to take more care of you."
The fifth senior brother glanced at Danyang, who was sitting opposite, with a slightly red face, and said sternly: "Brother Xu, don't worry, Chang Mu will live up to his trust." After saying that, he raised his glass and drank it all.
Tsk tsk, the two of them have a tacit understanding. It seems that my fifth senior brother has already taken action and subdued my brother-in-law, so he is not completely an idiot!
On the stage, the young lady flicked her sleeves and sang: "...I am willing to raise eyebrows with him. Even though we only stay together for a while, we still deserve to be together..."
Young Master Xu raised his glass to Senior Brother Xiaobai again, "Three... no, Brother Bai, the Lin family's affairs are all thanks to Brother Bai's many efforts. Xu would like to thank you!"
Yesterday afternoon, news came out from Beijing that the case of Dr. Lin who accidentally killed the princess 23 years ago was re-tried.
Senior Brother Xiaobai raised his wine glass slightly and drank it down with Young Master Xu.
But I was slightly puzzled, how could Senior Brother Xiaobai be so capable and accomplish this matter so quickly?
