Chapter 121 Gift List
With the little maid's announcement, Zhao Jia cried in a hoarse voice outside, "Sister-in-law, I can't live anymore!" Fortunately, she knew the right amount and did not break into the inside directly.
After hearing this, Li quickly got up and went out to greet him. Cao Yin frowned slightly, wondering how his brother and wife, who had always been smart and capable, sang this song.
"Sister-in-law, wuwu..." Zhao Jia cried without saying anything outside. While asking why, Li asked her to go into the west warmhouse to speak, and then she became quiet.
Because Zhao Jia came over, although she was not in the room, Cao Yi was also very uncomfortable and said goodbye to her father. When she walked into the hall, she was still hesitant to pay her respects to Zhao Jia. Then Zhao Jia cried and said, "I just think I am old and don't even miss the couple's love for many years, and I want to love that young..."
This elder's topic was something that she, as a daughter, could not listen to, so Cao Yi quickly walked out a few steps.
It happened that Chunya came to look for Cao Yi. When she saw her, she was about to speak, but Cao Yi quickly signaled to keep silent. When she left Kaiyangyuan, she stroked her chest and breathed a sigh of relief, but her expression could not be relaxed.
"Girl?" Chunya saw Cao Yi's face heavy expression, and she was puzzled and worried: "Is it because the food made by the girl is not as good as the master's taste? That's it, the girl doesn't have to be upset. Let's find a way to do something else!"
Cao Yi smiled and shook his head: "It's not like that. The master likes it very much. Come and find me?"
"Yeah!" Chunya nodded: "Cai'er just came to invite the girl, saying that the old man was looking for her if he had something to do!"
When Cao Yong was asking for his own silhouette, he looked at the book of an item book and a few half-written gift lists, and began to miss the Amethyst. In the past, when he had Amethyst around him, how could he worry about these things?
Wei Xin brought many rare overseas products from Guangzhou, such as clothes, materials, treasures, jewelry, decorations, etc. In addition to those in the mansion and in the Western Mansion, the rest of the rest must be sent to the capital for favors. Although many of them can be handed over to the Amethyst, there are a few places that require him to come up with some ideas first. For example, from the Prince Ping's Mansion, from the Prince Chun's Mansion, from the Prince Chun's Mansion, from the Prince Sixteenth Prince, from the Prince Yong's Mansion, or not. In addition, will Prince Yong's Mansion still give it? He just sent someone back to send the Buddha incense a few days ago, and he looked at it with others, too traces.
Just as he was thinking, Cao Yi had already come in with a smile, looked at the gift lists on the desk, and asked, "Brother, are you going to give a gift?"
Cao Yong was having a headache. When he saw his sister coming, he smiled and said, "Has the food been made? Does my father still like it?"
Cao Yi smiled and nodded: "I left a portion for my brother! Because I thought that my brother would eat dinner late on a daily basis, I didn't have someone to deliver it first. All the side dishes were available, even the cat ear soup, and I also pinched my ears and told the kitchen to wait for my brother to order food before putting it in the pot!"
"It's hard to bother you!" Cao Yong felt relieved that his sister was so well-behaved. Thinking that she had helped her mother's housekeeper in the past few years, he asked someone to ask her to help. So he talked about the gift.
When Cao Yi heard this, he covered his mouth with a veil and smiled at his brother.
Cao Yong was uncomfortable being laughed at by her and couldn't help but ask, "Ping'er, what's wrong?"
Cao Yi smiled and replied, "Even if it is in my sister's mansion, the Thirteenth Prince and the Sixteenth Prince, when the gift was not ordered by Sister Amethyst, my brother was worried this time and wanted to write the gift list himself! But I don't know why it was for?"
It was actually teased by his sister, and Cao Yong's face gradually became thicker. He just smiled it and did not refute or defend it. Because it was the first time he gave gifts to Prince Chun's mansion, he didn't want to be negligent and paid special attention. He couldn't tell whether it was for his little fiancée.
Cao Yi was just guessing, but he didn't expect that his brother's expression would be real. Thinking that his brother was so worried about his future sister-in-law, she found it interesting and a little indescribable sourness. If his brother married his sister-in-law, would he be as good as before? His face unconsciously brought a little sadness.
Seeing Cao Yi as if he was abandoned, Cao Yong lit up her forehead: "What are you thinking about? Even if you marry someone, am I not your brother? At that time, will I be sad and lose a sister or a sister-in-law? Similarly, you will have an extra sister to love you in the future!" Although he comforted Cao Yi like this, he was really unsure in his heart. He really didn't know if his future young wife looked like a sister. After all, she was still young. But when she thought about it, she had four mothers, brothers and sisters, and half-mothers, but she was a real elder sister.
Cao Yi was just a moment of melancholy. He naturally understood what his brother said. He immediately felt better. He asked Cao Yong what he meant and helped him match gifts from each mansion.
Cao Yong remembered that the Jueluo family was going to give him a copy, so he smiled and said to his sister: "Since you are here, it shouldn't be my turn to give me the gifts from Jueluo family!"
Cao Yi was just timid after his brother, and it was his turn now. He immediately blushed, frowned and did not respond, but looked at the item list and continued to read in order, secretly paying attention to whether there were any items such as Buddhist beads.
Finally, the gift list was set. Only the one from the eldest princess of the Chun Palace was specially selected by Cao Yong. One was the silver comb from the Western palace in eight pieces, and the other was a silver pocket watch with a few small diamonds inlaid. After reading the item list, they were all found in front of it. It looked really good. In addition, Cao Yi also saw a string of amethyst beads on the item booklet, which was in line with the name of amethyst, so he told his brother that he would list this one and leave it to amethyst so that he would not get mixed in the other place and let all amethyst give it to someone else.

Wei Xin accompanied Wei Bai to propose marriage.
Before going, Wei Xin tried his best to clean up Wei Bai. He changed his outfit, his head was shiny and his face was shaved. His original beard was trimmed into short beards like Wei Xin. In this way, his whole body was immediately different, and he looked at least ten years younger.
Wei Bai was very satisfied with his new image. He also looked at the bronze mirror for a while and touched his chin and smirked.
When Wei Xin was about to recreate Wei Hei, Wei Hei waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I won't mess around. It's not about looking at me!"
Wei Xin smiled and said, "You are a serious uncle! Why don't you look at it?"
Wei Hei paused: "I can't say this, but it's the truth. Although I think I'm accompanying my brother, I'm not the one who can speak well. I'll just sue me today and don't follow me. Please ask Brother Fang and Brother Five to do everything?"
Seeing that the two brothers of the Wei family had obviously discussed the faces. He was not much for outsiders to say anything, and nodded immediately and said, "Brother said this, he trusted Fang Erbang and me, why don't you obey orders!" Then he said to Wei Bai: "Second brother will go in a while, and there is no need to talk much. There are me and Fang Erbang."
Cao Fang also smiled and said, "Brother Wei can trust us, and he will live up to his trust! Second brother, you must remember that Madam Zhao is the most profitable. Listen whatever she says, don't bother her, don't refute her words, just laugh, and you will still appear honest. Don't worry, I and Wei Xin help you."
Wei Bai nodded quickly and responded: "I'm stupid, but I can't say anything. I just rely on my help!"

The Zhao family is on the back street of the Weaver Mansion, and there are two private families in the small courtyard. Because Madam Zhao is the accompanying Mrs. Sun of the Cao family, the Cao family has taken great care of her family for so many years, so her family has a lot of family resources and lives a life of slaves and maids.
As we all know, Cao Fang and Wei Xin are both the chief managers of the Cao family's business operations, and they are very capable of the master and the old man. When Fangcha's grandmother, Madam Zhao, saw that Wei Bai could invite him to be a matchmaker, she knew that Wei Bai was a little decent. She also heard the two of them tell that he was a celebrity in front of the old man and was free, so she became a man with three points of favor.
After looking up and down at Wei Bai, Ma Ma Zhao felt that although this person was older, she didn't look very old. She was full of celebrity and dressed in a good manner, and her favorability was two more. Looking at the betrothal gift, it was 10% thicker than what she wanted, so her favorability suddenly increased to ten, full.
Although Madam Zhao was happy, she still had a look on her face. She said a few words lukewarmly before she agreed to kiss her.
The mother of Fangcha, Zhao Feng, was very unhappy. She always felt that Wei Bai was too old and had an ordinary appearance, and was not worthy of her beautiful daughter. When she heard her mother-in-law respond, she felt a little confused and couldn't help but pull Mama Zhao out on an excuse and whispered to her mother-in-law: "You... are you... just responding like this? Is this person... a little older? Why don't we take a look first..."
Before Zhao Feng could finish his words, Madam Zhao glared back. Madam Zhao's eyes were sharper than a knife, which made her liver tremble. She hurriedly lowered her head and didn't dare to say anything.
Madam Zhao lowered her voice and scolded her: "What do you know? How many young people are decent? Who has such a wealthy family!" She said and said that, "I just whispered to the generous betrothal gift."
Zhao Feng was always weak, and because he had no errands in the mansion, he couldn't say anything at home. Madam Zhao was the one who made the decision. She also knew that her mother-in-law loved money the most, and it seemed that she would definitely make a marriage for the betrothal gift. Although she was unhappy, she had to nod against her will and had to flatter her: "It's still what you think about in the long run."
Madam Zhao snorted, but her face showed a little pride, and she realized that the marriage was done well. After returning to the house, she began to discuss things like making arrangements with Cao Fang and the others.
The room was discussing hotly, and the little maid outside shouted, "Girl! Girl!" As she shouted, Fang Cha lifted the curtain and broke in, her almond eyes widened, and she swept the people in the room for a week.
Everyone was still stunned when they saw two little maids stumbled in from behind. They both came into the room and stood firm. They saluted everyone first, then gently pulled Fangcha's clothes, and whispered: "Good girl, just be a pitiful servant, go back..." Although they were talking to Fangcha, they looked at Zhao Feng for help.
Wei Bai felt distressed when he saw it. He was about to reach out to support her shoulders when he realized the blood from one hand. He quickly rubbed his right hand against his body and stretched out his left hand over.
Fangcha was both startled and scared, and couldn't help but take two steps back: "Don't touch me! Go! Go!"
Wei Bai, who reached halfway through his hand, stopped, looked at Fangcha with disgust, he felt really uncomfortable, and couldn't help but say sternly: "Why are you doing this? I'm not trying to force you. If you are not happy...If you are not happy...then..."
Wei Bai originally wanted to say "If you are not happy, forget it", but when he spoke, he couldn't say it.
I really like it very much, but I really can't bear to let it go.
He tossed and turned twice, his face full of disappointment and regret, his eyes were still full of infatuation, but his mind was full of mud, and he could not make his own decision at all.
Zhao Feng looked around and sighed secretly. His dissatisfaction with Wei Bai's age was also faded. He only felt that this was a person worthy of his daughter's life. At that moment, she came over to smooth things over and said, "Don't bother Wei, don't bother us girls. She is angry. Let's persuade her." He called the maids again, "What are you standing there? Go and bandage the wounds on Mr. Wei!"
Madam Zhao also recovered from her senses. While scolding Fangcha for "being killed", she asked Wei Bai about her injuries and asked him to sit down for tea.
Fangcha leaned against the wall, holding his heart with his hands, gasping for breath, his eyes filled with tears, but he stubbornly raised his jaw and stared at Wei Bai. Wei Bai was also looking at her in dismay.
