Chapter 143 Wei Xi, the first time to visit a friend's house
"Mom, what gifts do you think I'll bring to you tomorrow?"
After hearing what his little daughter asked, Fu Yuheng suddenly realized that this seemed to be the first time his little daughter came to visit alone.
She walked away her daughter's hair with a little distress, thought for a while and came up with an idea: "Mingfei's father is Zhaoting Si Zheng, a fifth-rank official. I heard that he is also honest. Look at the clothes of Mingfei and her mother today, I think the family is also a little poor. Besides, you are interacting with juniors, so this gift doesn't have to be too expensive."
Wei Xi nodded thoughtfully, "I understand."
Fu Yuheng was a little curious, "What will Xier be giving?"
"Didn't Manager Lin from Hengdu send several carts of New Year gifts a few days ago? I remember there were two pink jade hairpins and bracelets inside, which should be quite suitable for Mingfei. There are also some fabrics that Min Xiu just developed called Shui Bojin, which looks the same as Shui Bo. I remember that there are also pink ones, which should be quite suitable for Mingfei."
After hearing this, Fu Yuheng twitched the corners of his mouth, and couldn't help but be glad that she asked curiously.
The two jade hairpins and bracelets are worth hundreds of taels, not to mention the fabrics that have not appeared on the market at all, which are even more expensive.
This is what my little daughter thinks is inexpensive.
But after thinking about Wei Xi's wealth, okay, it's really not expensive. Maybe it's not even a drop in a bucket.
But she could also think that if Xier really brought such gifts to her tomorrow, it would not be a surprise to the teacher's family, but a shock.
She had to stop her youngest daughter's dangerous idea immediately.
"You can wait until you two get familiar with these two things before giving them. When you are a guest for the first time, you are a junior, just prepare some exquisite pastries and do your best."
Wei Xi frowned, "But would it be too light to just serve pastries?"
Fu Yuheng coughed lightly, "I have a bunch of lotus and green hairpins suitable for a little girl to bring, and together with pastries, these are almost done. I can't be wrong if I listen to my mother."
Wei Xi nodded obediently, "Okay."
Fu Yuheng rubbed the sweat on the tip of his nose without any trace.
The topic of gifts has come to an end.
**
The next morning, Wei Xi took Xiaoqi and Xiaoba and took a carriage to Shi's house.
Halfway through the way, Xiao Ba's voice came from outside, "Miss, it's snowing."
Wei Xi was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly lifted the curtain blocking the light and looked outside.
In between, countless snow particles like salt are falling from the sky, but I can't tell if I don't knock it carefully.
Xiaoqi also looked out, "It's not cloudy yet, why is it snowing first?"
As soon as Wei Xi looked up, he saw that the sun was still hanging in the sky.
"The second young master is still on his way back to Beijing, I just hope the snow will stop after a while."
Wei Xi was silent when he heard this.
She felt that Xiaoqi's wish was probably the opposite, and she hoped that Xue Ting would rather hope that his brother would get home sooner.
Sure enough, by the time they arrived at the teacher's house, the snowflakes had already tended to grow bigger.
Wei Xi got off the carriage and saw Shi Mingfei standing on the threshold waiting. I don’t know how long I had been standing here, and my face turned red.
Wei Xi touched her face and warmed her with the temperature of her palm.
"When I come, wouldn't it be better to knock on the door directly. I'm standing outside so cold, be careful of the wind and cold."
"Actually, it didn't take long," Shi Mingfei couldn't help but rub Wei Xi's palm, and her almond eyes were bent, "Let's go, I'll take you to see my little animals. Fortunately, I took a bath for Zhuan yesterday. If it snows, it would be very cold."
Wei Xi followed him into the gate, looked around without a trace, and asked after hearing this, "Who is Juanjuan?"
"It's my little sheep."
Wei Xi: "······This name is quite appropriate." Isn't sheep just curly hair?
The two of them entered the main hall as they spoke.
Long, who was sitting in the main hall, saw Wei Xi coming in and hurriedly stood up, "Miss Wei San, welcome you to our house as a guest."
This is her brother's future mother-in-law. Wei Xi blessed her with a blessed body right. "Wei Xi has met the master's wife."
Long turned his back and dared to accept half a gift, and then asked someone to sit down and ordered the maid to send tea fruits.
Wei Xi thanked him, sat down and took a sip of tea. He noticed that the master lady in front of him was a little nervous when facing him, and hurriedly suppressed the momentum on her body.
But in Long's opinion, Miss Wei San, wearing a long robe and a gorgeous hair crown, had a powerful force on her body, which made her subconsciously and carefully and carefully when she spoke, and then she thought about it.
I don’t know how my stupid daughter got this person’s eye.
After sitting for a while, Long took the excuse that he had something to do and left first. Shi Mingfei immediately pulled Wei Xi to his yard.
As soon as I entered the yard, the first thing that attracted Wei Xi’s attention was the big pavilion in the yard.
The edge of the pavilion was made of a fence that was only knee-height, with half-rolled curtains. The surrounding houses blocked the cold wind, and inside the pavilion, it was simply an animal world.
The little lamb who had just taken a shower was chewing on the hay. Did he look up and bleat twice?
There are three wooden houses with waist-high height on the left, and three white-backed yellow puppies with calves are gathered in front of their own food bowl and eating happily.
On the haystack on the right, five, six, seven or eight rabbits with long white hair were jumping and gnawing on the radish.
In the corner at the back is a large wooden basin with cotton mats in it. An orange cat is lying on its side, and a row of kittens are arranged neatly underneath.
"The pigeons are on the top, and they have been hatching eggs these days." Shi Mingfei pointed to a wooden box on the pavilion. He could still hear the 'cuckoo' sound from inside, "Let's go, I'll take you in and touch them."
The pavilion was cleanly maintained, and there was a small path made of wooden boards specially designed for people to walk. Wei Xi followed Shi Mingfei in. As soon as he observed the differences in patterns and colors of the three little dogs in front of him, he turned around and was stuffed into his hands.
Wei Xi had never touched such a soft and small thing before. It was still moving in his arms, and for a moment he stood still stiff.
Xiaoqi and Xiaoba stood outside the pavilion. It was rare to see her lady look like this. She couldn't help but smile.
Shi Mingfei couldn't bear it when she saw her helpless look, so she laughed out loud and hurriedly reached out to carry the rabbit back, "Xi Xi, just hug it like this, if you pinch its ears, it will be very obedient."
The rabbit finally took off his hands, and Wei Xi waved his hand quickly, "No need, no need, compared to hugging them, I still prefer to look at them."
After all, this rabbit is Jingruo in Mingfei's arms, but in her arms, she is a rabbit that takes off!
After watching the rabbit, the two of them went to see the little cats who were still sleeping.
Shi Mingfei pointed to the three little ones who were both orange, "These three were just following their mothers," and pointed to the three black flowers on their backs, with white hairs everywhere else. "This should be the one whom I have never met, but fortunately they look pretty good."
‘That father I never met’, Wei Xi silently repeated this sentence in his heart, and his lips twitched obscurely.
"The kittens are very fierce when they sleep. I originally wanted Xixi to hug you." Shi Mingfei said a little regretful tone.
Wei Xi waved his hand quickly, "No, no, it's good to just look at it like this."
"Then let's go and take a look at the roll."
The little lamb who was gnawing on hay suddenly saw a stranger appearing on his territory, and immediately hid in a corner and started to bleat.
Shi Mingfei is really a little confused now.
It seems that she keeps these little guys a little afraid of Xixi. Xixi is obviously beautiful and gentle.
She originally thought these little guys would be as close to Xixi as they were close to her.
"Snow seems to be even more scared. Ming Fei, let's go back to the house first. I've brought you a gift."
"Oh, okay, Xixi, wait for me to put the curtain down first, or the snow will float in."
Wei Xi stood under the corridor, watching Shi Mingfei and her maid put down the curtains on all sides of the pavilion and tied them up. After checking again, he made sure that the air would not leak, he ran back.
But there were a lot of snowflakes on my head and body.
Wei Xi patted the snow on her body, and the two of them entered the main room.
Xiaoqi put down the gift box in his hand. Wei Xi said while unpacking the box, "It's the first time I've been to someone else's house. I don't know what to send, so I asked my mother temporarily. Here are some snacks I just made this morning. Do you want to taste it and see if it tastes delicious?"
"And this one was also chosen by my mother for help. It was a hairpin. She said it would be very suitable for you to bring it with you." Wei Xi said that it had already taken out the green hairpin of the lotus.
Xiaoqi couldn't even stop it.
Whoever gave the gift was just given, but her lady was fine. She took the gift directly in front of the owner and explained it all.
Fortunately, there are no outsiders here.
Shi Mingfei was also a little stunned at this moment.
Although she had no friends, she still followed her mother to someone else's house to visit the ceremony.
It seems that I didn't just take it apart and explain it to the owner one by one.
But Xixi is like this, probably because she really doesn't treat her as an outsider, so she is so natural.
When I think about it this way, I don’t feel strange, but I feel warm in my heart.
However, after seeing the exquisite lotus-dotted green hairpin, she shook her head quickly, "Xi Xi, this hairpin is too expensive, I can't accept it." She pointed to the snacks on the table, "Those snacks are just fine, I like them very much."
"Valuable?" Wei Xizai looked carefully at the hairpin pushed back by Shi Mingfei. "It was just gilded as the bottom and some kingfisher feathers were lit. Why is it expensive?"
Xiaoqi held his forehead aside.
Shi Mingfei was also stunned when she heard this, "But this looks very complicated and it took a lot of effort to make it. It must be very expensive. I can't accept such expensive gifts."
"It turns out that you guessed it would be very expensive. In fact, if I gave this hairpin raw materials, I would also do it, so what you guessed was wrong, it would definitely not be much more expensive."
"Really?"
"I'll just tell the truth."
"Then I'll keep it. This hairpin looks very beautiful. Xixi, thank you."
"Just like it."
Xiaoqi, who listened to the whole process, said: "·······" Are the raw materials so good? Is gilding cheap? Are kingfisher feathers easy to find?
