Chapter 274: The Handwriting is Really Extraordinary
Xiao Jingchen is good at martial arts and is not weak.
So I knew there was someone at the door.
Even though he only brought one personal attendant with him, there were many secret guards around him.
Just as we were talking, a sparrow chirped seven times outside. It was the secret signal from the secret guards.
The representative here is Xiao Qi.
Since it was Xiao Qi, it didn't matter if what he said just now was heard.
Anyway, he said similar things in front of Xiao Jingrui.
Xiao Jingrui was so angry that he jumped up and down, and refused to admit that going to the harem was selling his body.
He looked at Xiao Qi and said, "Didn't you hear everything standing outside? You're still pretending."
Xiao Qi said with a smile: "I just wanted to pretend that I didn't hear it. The emperor's uncle is too embarrassing."
I'm afraid that in this world only the Emperor's uncle would dare to speak of my father in that way.
It's my father's fault for arresting this person. There's nothing we can do about it.
What's more, he could see that although the two would quarrel with each other whenever they met, they regarded each other as brothers.
Xiao Jingchen glanced at him and said, "Come in quickly, don't stand at the door."
Xiao Qi walked in with a smile.
Behind him followed a handsome young man with a cynical, romantic and unrestrained temperament.
Qiao Ye saw that the other person looked somewhat similar to his godmother.
I guessed who he was at a glance, the famous Third Young Master.
Before Qiao Ye could speak, Jiang Yilin looked at her with a smile in his eyes.
He took the initiative to come over and said, "Sister, brother finally sees you!"
Qiao Ye found that these people were not shy.
But it’s good this way, it’s easier to get along with.
She stood up, smiled and raised her hand to greet him, "Hello, brother!"
Jiang Yilin smiled and said, "Call me second brother from now on."
His mother only had two sons, and she adopted Qiao Ye as her goddaughter, so naturally she had no relationship with the Marquis' Mansion.
So his brother is the eldest brother, and he is the second brother.
Qiao Ye was not pretentious, "Hello, second brother!"
Jiang Yilin took a large wooden box from his servant and handed it to Qiao Ye.
"Here, this is a gift from my second brother."
Qiao Ye didn't say anything polite, otherwise it would have been too awkward.
She took it and said, "Thank you, second brother."
Jiang Yilin looked at Qiao Ye's generous and straightforward appearance and he liked her personality.
It was exactly as he imagined.
He was also quite forthright, "Open it and see if you like it."
"If you don't like it, just tell me and I'll prepare a new gift for you."
After hearing what he said, Qiao Ye reached out and opened the wooden box from the table.
It turned out to be a jewelry box with several layers.
The top two layers are filled with various plump and round pearls, including white, pink, gold, black, and purple.
Some are strung into necklaces and bracelets, while others are scattered individually.
The layer below is full of diamonds of various colors. It can be seen that the quality is very good, and some are rare and uncommon.
The next layer down is a variety of coral and shell necklaces and bracelets.
The last layer is made up of different gemstones, many of which are top-tier and rare today.
Qiao Ye's eyes were almost blinded by the light; no wonder the wooden box was so big and heavy.
The gift from this brother-in-law was really generous.
Qiao Ye has seen the world and had a lot of these things in his previous life.
So after she finished reading it, there was no amazement or greed in her eyes.
Instead, he looked at Jiang Yilin helplessly and said, "Second brother, this meeting gift is too expensive."
Jiang Yilin smiled and waved his hands, "These are all things I brought back from overseas. They are not very expensive. I give them to you to play with. I hope you don't dislike them."
Qiao Ye said with a smile: "As a woman, who doesn't like these shiny and beautiful pearls and gems? Of course I don't hate them."
Of course there are exceptions for women.
But she was not like that. She just liked these shiny, beautiful and expensive things and had bought quite a few of them.
Jiang Yilin liked her so much more because of her graceful and elegant appearance.
"Haha, as long as you like it, I'll give you some next time I come back from the sea."
The reason I brought these things back was to please my mother, the queen mother, my aunt and my sister.
Seeing that he really didn't care, Qiao Ye smiled and said, "Okay, thank you, second brother."
Anyway, if she has something good, she will think of giving a copy to the other party.
Maintaining a relationship is a give-and-take process.
"I also prepared gifts for my eldest and second brothers."
"My eldest brother's was sent to the border not long ago."
"My godmother sent me a letter before, saying that you were coming here, so I didn't send it to the capital."
The main thing is the rubber-soled leather shoes for him, which were only made a few days ago.
Jiang Yilin asked curiously: "What gift did you prepare for me?"
Not only was he curious, Xiao Jingchen and Xiao Qi also looked at Qiao Ye.
Jiang Yilin has no shortage of money or rare things, so Qiao Ye’s gift should be more innovative.
Qiao Ye smiled and said, "Wait a moment."
After she finished speaking, she turned and went into her own private workroom.
Soon, a few boxes were carried out from inside.
When giving gifts to others, it looks better if you put them in a brocade box.
"This is my gift to you. It includes rubber-soled leather boots, a sweater and trousers, and a candle for your Chinese Zodiac sign."
She prepared the same gift for her two brothers.
These are things Jiang Yilin has never heard of.
He smiled and asked, "Then shall I open it and take a look?"
Qiao Ye made a casual gesture, "Okay!"
He added, "See if you like it. If not, I will find another gift for you."
Jiang Yilin was not a hypocritical person, "Okay!"
He first opened the relatively smaller wooden box at the top.
There was a piece of silk spread inside, on which were placed nine cute monkeys of different colors.
Jiang Yilin picked up a monkey and looked at it over and over again.
The more I looked at it, the more I liked it. I couldn't help but ask, "Is this really a candle?"
It doesn't look alike at all!
Qiao Ye smiled and said, "Yes, they are all candles."
"If you're curious, you can order one and see."
She pointed to the ahoge on the monkey's head in his hand and said, "The candle fuse for this monkey is here."
This was carved by her husband when he came back last time.
My two brothers were born in the year of the monkey, so I made two sets of monkey candles with different shapes based on their personalities.
The eldest brother’s monkey looks more majestic, while the second brother’s is more cute.
Jiang Yilin shook his head, "No, no, I still don't want to order."
Once the candle burns, the monkey's alopecia will disappear.
Xiao Qi on the side urged, "Light it up and take a look. I'm also curious about what it looks like when the candle is lit."
Candles can be made into this shape, it’s so beautiful, he also wants one.
I am even more looking forward to the candles I will give to my father as a birthday gift.
Xiao Jingchen has traveled to many places and has been to sea with Jiang Yilin twice.
He considered himself knowledgeable, but he had never seen this kind of candle.
He also joined in the fun and encouraged, "Yeah, click it and see."
He wants it too.
Jiang Yilin: “…”
He immediately put the monkey back and said, "No."
Seeing this, Qiao Ye chuckled and said, "I sent it to my second brother just to give you something to play with."
"After this set of candles is burned, I will make another one for you."
"I can also make it for you in different ways."
She added, "But if we do it again, we have to wait for my husband to come back."
"Because he carved the monkey, I only know how to make candles."
Since her second brother is so generous, she certainly can't be stingy.
Jiang Yilin's eyes lit up, "It's better to have a sister."
This time he didn't hesitate and picked up the monkey and lit the aho-haired one with a fire stick.
He was actually very curious whether this kind of candle could really be used.
Then the three of them saw that the little monkey looked even cuter after being illuminated by the candlelight.
Jiang Yilin also discovered that "the light from this candle feels much brighter than the high-quality candles I usually use."
He sniffed it carefully again, "There is also a very pleasant fragrance."
Qiao Ye said: "I added something, so the light will be brighter and the candle will burn longer."
"It's brighter at night, you can try it."
“The scent is also specially blended.”
Jiang Yilin blew out the candle and said lovingly, "I'll try again after I return to Beijing."
After returning, he would call his friends to come and see his zodiac candle.
How can we just order this beautiful monkey?
My brother-in-law is not here, so I can’t make a few more sets for him to take away.
You have to keep this and show it off in Beijing.
Qiao Ye smiled and said, "As long as you are happy."
Jiang Yilin then opened the second box.
Xiao Qi and Xiao Jingchen both came over curiously.
