She said this with some teasing: "Since your hands are so skillful, when will you make a hairpin for your mother?"
Su Liancheng: "..."
He glanced at Hua Xinyu and saw a bit of joking in her eyes, and knew that she was just teasing him by saying these words.
He coughed lightly: "If Mom wants a hairpin, just ask Dad to make it for you."
Hua Xinyu curled her lips slightly: "Your father is in charge of the First City and is so busy every day that he doesn't have time to make hairpins for me..."
She seemed to remember something when she said this, and said with a smile: "But since you and Hua Tong are married, according to the rules of the First City, you can take over as the city lord."
"Let me tell your father that after you two get married, you will become the lord of the first city, so that he will have time to make hairpins for me."
Su Liancheng: "..."
He sighed and said, "I'm afraid I'll have to wait a little longer for my role as city lord."
"I would like to spend more time with Miss Jiang. Dad is still strong and strong, so it is not appropriate for him to step back like this."
"I'm afraid people who don't know may mistakenly think that I am unfilial and greedy for power."
The corners of Hua Xinyu's mouth raised slightly: "Oh, I really didn't know before that you are still a sensible person who loves your wife!"
Su Liancheng knew that if he continued talking, Hua Xinyu might have to continue teasing him.
He cupped his hand lightly towards Hua Xinyu and said, "Thank you for your hard work, mother. I still have official duties to attend to, so I'll go and do some work first."
He turned around and left without waiting for Hua Xinyu's consent.
Hua Xinyu deliberately said sourly behind him: "You are so old that you can't help your mother!"
"The wife here doesn't want her mother even before she gets married."
Su Liancheng pretended not to hear.
As soon as he left, Hua Xinyu opened the curtain next to him: "Hua Tong, come out!"
Jiang Huatong was standing behind the curtain.
It turned out that when Su Liancheng came to see Hua Xinyu, Jiang Huatong was drinking tea with her here.
When the servant said that Su Liancheng was coming, Jiang Huatong was afraid of being embarrassed by seeing him, so he hid behind the curtain.
But she didn't know that when Su Liancheng came to see Hua Xinyu today, he was actually talking about their marriage.
She was even more grateful that she had hidden behind the curtain just now, otherwise today would have been even more embarrassing.
When she came out, Hua Xinyu said with emotion: "Liancheng is my son, and I have never seen him care so much about any girl."
"He has thought a lot about you and is very thoughtful."
"Tell me what you like, and I'll prepare it and send it to you."
Jiang Huatong could not talk to Hua Xinyu at this time. He only said: "Madam, just prepare for this. I like it."
Hua Xinyu smiled and said: "Do you like everything I prepared, or is it because you are getting married to Liancheng, so the things are not important?"
Jiang Huatong blushed and said, "Madam!"
Hua Xinyu hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, I won't say anything anymore."
"Liancheng has been making this hairpin since he left. I've seen him make several versions."
"To be honest, the first one was quite ugly. It has probably melted."
"The one in front of me is probably the one he is most satisfied with. It looks really good to me and matches you very well."
Hua Xinyu saw that the hairpin was in the shape of an orchid, simple, elegant, and very delicate.
She had some opinions: "I really didn't expect that the Young City Master was so skillful with his hands?"
Hua Xinyu raised her eyebrows lightly: "He is my son, so his hands are naturally very skillful."
"It's just that I only taught him how to make weapons, not how to make hairpins."
"He has been very quiet since he was a child. He is quite able to calm down and think about some things."
"The appearance of this orchid must have been designed by him himself."
"By the way, Liancheng is very good at painting beautiful paintings. If you two get married, let him paint them for you."
Jiang Huatong pursed his lips and smiled, but did not answer, but his eyes fell on the hairpin.
The hairpin is made of pure gold, and the orchid petals are inlaid with sapphires.
I don't know what technique Su Liancheng used to polish the sapphire until it sparkled.
Blue is not a high-profile color. After polishing it into a gemstone, it is not too high-profile, but it cannot hold up the brilliance that overflows in time.
Overall, this hairpin is extremely beautiful, yet exudes low-key luxury.
When Hua Xinyu inserted the hairpin into Jiang Huatong's head, she sighed: "This kid from Liancheng is really thoughtful. This hairpin suits you very well."
Jiang Huatong's background gave her the most gentle temperament in the world. She loved reading and was full of books.
And after her experience as the leader of the rebel army, she gained a lot of toughness and the aura that only those in high positions have.
Such Jiang Huatong, in Hua Xinyu's eyes, simply sparkled.
Hua Xinyu witnessed Jiang Huatong and Su Liancheng joining forces to fight against the enemy. The two cooperated tacitly and had the same mind.
Coupled with Jiang Huatong's ability, Hua Xinyu is very relieved that the first city will be handed over to them in the future.
Hua Xinyu is very satisfied with this daughter-in-law.
Hua Xinyu asked Jiang Huatong to take the hairpin directly.
As for the betrothal gift and so on, Jiang Hua left together and Hua Xinyu went to prepare it.
Hua Xinyu's idea is very simple. Getting married is a big event for a woman, and she must have a generous dowry.
The dowry that a woman brings to her husband's family is her private property and cannot be touched by others. This is also her confidence.
Jiang Mansion was destroyed, and Jiang Huatong was now alone in the First City with nothing around him.
In this case, the betrothal gift prepared by Hua Xinyu for Jiang Huatong will also become her dowry.
Therefore, the betrothal gift must not be small, but must be generous.
It's just that Hua Xinyu felt that she knew too little about Jiang Huatong, and was afraid that the betrothal gift she gave out would not be in line with Jiang Huatong's wishes, so she specifically asked Tang Miaoxin about Jiang Huatong's preferences.
Since Tang Miaoxin and Jiang Huatong were classmates in the Imperial College and had lived together in the imperial palace in Gui Qian for many years, they must know Jiang Huatong very well.
Tang Miaoxin thought about it carefully and then said: "Huatong has a gentle temperament. She usually doesn't fight or grab. She won't take more of things she likes, and won't dislike things she doesn't like."
"So you asked me what Huatong likes, and I really don't know."
"If I have to find someone she likes, I thought about it and it seems like she likes the big brother."
Hua Xinyu laughed loudly when she heard this, stretched out her hand and scratched Tang Miaoxin's nose and said, "You are the only one who can speak!"
Tang Miaoxin also smiled and said: "What I said is the truth!"
"Auntie, there's no need to be nervous. The betrothal gift represents the attitude and intentions of the First City. I think as long as your intentions are enough, it'll be fine."
"Although Huatong didn't bring anything with her this time, she saved a substantial fortune when she was the leader of the rebel army."
"After the matters here in the First City are settled, she can just have someone bring the things over."
