After the New Year's banquet, everyone has to go back to the house to keep the New Year.
According to the practice of previous years, Jiang Pengji either went back to sleep alone or accompanied Liu Zhao to stay old, but this year is slightly different. Both Liu She and Gu Zhen were there, and as a daughter, she should accompany the two elders. However, both Jiang Pengji and Liu She had a showdown, and she didn't want to face Liu She on such a beautiful day, and continued to put on a fake play of father and daughter filial piety for outsiders to see, and she simply avoided her by saying that she was unwell.
Gu Zhen frowned and asked, "Where is Lanting uncomfortable, did you call Langzhong to take a look?"
How do the servants know, they can only be vague.
Sitting on the head, Liu She raised her eyebrows lightly and said indifferently, "Lanting's identity is different from the past. Since she is not feeling well, let her rest."
Shou Sui is just an optional form, and Jiang Pengji should not be disturbed by this matter.
Seeing that Liu She had spoken, Gu Zhen could only swallow it back embarrassingly.
"I'm glad my sister didn't come. If she came, the scene would not be so ugly."
Liu Zhao is dressed in exquisite clothes. Since he got married, he looks more mature, but he still looks like a white and tender rich and idle person.
No matter who looked at his appearance, he would always say "gentle and harmless".
"What do you say? If people listen to it, it will be embarrassing for no reason."
Liu Zhao's wife looked a little immature, and she acted steadily and politely. Hearing her husband muttering in private, she reminded her gently. The two have been married for some time, and Liu Zhao is gentle and accommodating, so the couple get along well.
"Isn't this husband sympathizing with the two cousins? It was a happy day, but it made the whole family uncomfortable."
Liu Zhao glanced at the two actual cousins from the corner of his eye, and sighed inwardly.
Meng Heng and Nie Xun are also unlucky brothers and sisters. They should have stayed at home to accompany their wives and children to keep the year old.
Unexpectedly, Gu Zhen was on a whim, and hoped that the two of them could bring their family members over to accompany her, euphemistically, to enjoy the happiness of a family.
Can you refuse
No refusal!
Don't look at Liu Zhao is a downright wealthy idler, but his brain is not stupid, and he can see the door in secret.
Looking at him, these two sons and Gu Zhen are far from their hearts, she is so strong, she will only push people away.
Is this a mother desperate to make up for her two sons
Liu Zhao laughed inwardly, his stepmother in name and aunt in essence was never so affectionate.
Liu Xi, who had been raised for 12 years, gave up when he said he gave up, and turned to choose the current Jiang Pengji. So, how much weight do they have in Gu Zhen's heart, the eldest son who has almost no contact and the younger son who has been missing for more than 20 years? So eager to make up the relationship, it's more like trying to cover up! Borrowing the mother's natural and powerful identity, forcing his son to obey her, and then satisfying his inner guilt and guilt.
Liu Zhao seems to be gentle and harmless, but he is not stingy to use the darkest thoughts to speculate on people.
A family happily gathers together to keep the new year, that is called family happiness.
A group of people looked at each other and said nothing, that is called hurting each other.
On New Year's Eve this year, Meng Heng and Nie Xun's family had a bad time, and finally left the venue early using their children as an excuse.
Jiang Pengji has a completely different style of painting here.
"Speaking of which, this is the first time I've been alone with Zixiao."
Jiang Pengji, who was "unwell", was staying at Wei Ci's house and refused to leave. Seeing her vigorous appearance, how could she look unwell at all? Wei Ci didn't answer, raised her hand and pushed the preserved fruit she liked to her, with a faint smile on the corner of her lips.
"By the way, I gave Zixiao's gift, have you opened it and looked at it?"
Wei Ci said, "It hasn't been demolished yet."
Jiang Pengji held her cheek and said, "Then you can take it apart now."
Wei Ci laughed and said, "How can anyone open a gift in front of the host's face? I'm sorry!"
Jiang Pengji winked at him, her eyes deep and bright under the candlelight, "According to the relationship between you and me, this rudeness is more like fun."
Wei Ci couldn't beat her, so he could only take out a boxy, red-red box from his sleeve. The outside of this box was wrapped in a layer of unknown material, and the skin was soft and delicate to the touch. Rao was Wei Ci's erudite and talented, and he couldn't recognize what kind of animal fur it was.
Under Jiang Pengji's burning gaze, he gently opened it.
Under the candlelight, two dazzling white lights are reflected, which is extremely dazzling and beautiful.
"Is this the ring?"
Wei Ci took a closer look and found that the white light came from the jewelry engraved on the surface of the ring.
As far as he knows, this sparkling thing is the "King Kong" that was introduced into the Central Plains from the distant countries of the West.
"I heard that the hardness of gold is rare in the world, and steel and bronze can't be damaged at all... This object has a smooth surface, and the arrangement of the cut surfaces seems to be regular, and it does not seem to be formed naturally. Does the lord know who made this object? How could it be so capable? Make it like this!"
Jiang Pengji said, "A pair of diamond rings, just like you and me."
She couldn't give Wei Ci the name, and she couldn't tell the world. For Wei Ci, who was deeply educated by ancient orthodoxy, this was a pity.
When I asked myself, I guessed that Wei Ci didn't even think of this level in his lifetime.
Now that I realize it, it's natural to do something.
"Diamond ring?"
Wei Ci took out the two rings in confusion and found that the two rings were of different sizes.
"Secretly measured the thickness of your fingers to customize." Jiang Pengji said, "I will help you wear it?"
Thanks to the old boss for purchasing, otherwise Jiang Pengji can only find a goldsmith in this world to play a pair.
Wei Ci said reservedly, "I'm sorry to bother my lord."
Jiang Pengji put it on for him, stretched out his hand contentedly, and motioned for him to put on the lady's ring for himself.
Pure gold is soft and easy to deform after wearing it for a long time, but diamond rings do not have this concern.
In this regard, the old chief also mocked her.
Because in Jiang Pengji's era, diamonds were indeed very cheap raw materials for jewelry, even if they were hard and useless.
However, Jiang Pengji doesn't think about the value of the diamond itself, she thinks about the meaning that people give to the diamond.
On the plane of Xianyu, you have to buy a diamond ring when you get married, so Jiang Pengji naturally follows the trend.
"This material is hard, and it will not deform and never change its heart when worn for a long time."
Only then did Wei Ci hear that something was wrong, but she felt agitated and flushed.
Jiang Pengji reminded him, "Zixiao, look, there is another thing in the box."
Wei Ci took out the contents while embarrassed.
"What is this?"
This thing is boxy, soft yet icy in texture.
With a sip of his finger, he found that it was a two-layer structure, with a circle of circular objects placed in the middle.
He was wondering when the lord had circled behind him, breathing like blue in his ears, and his white and delicate hands slid down his neck and collarbone like flexible snakes. This stance made Wei Ci froze and didn't dare to move.
"It's been a long night, Zixiao, do you know how much money we've wasted?"
