twin daughters

Chapter 109
The bride who helped Yi Jinan comb her hair stopped working, "Open it quickly and see what kind of treasure it is!"

Yi Jin'an opened it cautiously, the room was dimly lit due to the crowds, everyone held their breath, waiting for that surprise moment.

Zhang Baoying raised her proud head, complacent.The things she gave were unique and rare treasures, and none of those who came to add makeup could compare to her makeup.

"Wow!" There was a gasp in the room.

As soon as Yi Jin'an opened the box, the whole room lit up, as bright as outside.

"Shark beads!"

Sharp-eyed people immediately guessed that it was a kind of night pearl that was tributed by the small country in the east. It was said that it was the tears shed by sharks on full moon nights, and it was many times brighter than ordinary night pearls.

"Ah, it's shark beads!"

Everyone in the room is envious, it is their blessing for ordinary people to see shark beads here, let alone have such shark beads.As expected, the Hou's Mansion was deeply favored, the emperor even rewarded them with shark beads, it seemed that they had to be courteous.The people in the room looked at Zhang Baoying with admiration all of a sudden, and their words were a little flattering.

Yi Jin'an happily put away the bead, and the room became much darker again.

Then the other boudoir girls gave Yi Jin'an makeup gifts. Although the gifts were very innovative and auspicious, they were nothing compared to the shark beads Zhang Baoying gave.

Yi Jinning also accepted several makeup additions, but what she was looking forward to the most was Luo Xiaoxiao and Wen Meier's makeup additions.She stared at Wen Meier without blinking, "Meier, where's your makeup gift?"

Wen Meier shyly asked the maid behind her to hand over a long wooden box, and everyone guessed that it contained calligraphy and paintings.

Yi Jinning opened it with full anticipation, and the contents inside were displayed in front of everyone, and there was another gasp in the room.But he was extremely surprised, the thing inside was a piece of red gauze?
"What is it, can't it be Hongsha?" someone asked.

"What is that?" Everyone speculated.

Wen Meier was very embarrassed and lowered her head, her voice was as thin as a mosquito, and only Yi Jinning could hear it, "It's a bellyband, I embroidered it myself! You...don't take it out, can you?"

Yi Jinning took out the things in the long box, and the things inside were wrapped in a layer of red gauze, and everyone wanted to see clearly what it was.

Unexpectedly, Yi Jinning only disassembled half of it, and then put it away, "Meier's makeup is very good, it is the best gift I have ever seen. I'm sorry, I can't show it to everyone!"

"What the hell is it? It can't be a calligraphy and painting, right?"

Zhang Baoying felt that Yi Jinning was just implying that her own gift was not as precious as Wen Meier's, so she held on to Yi Jinning's hand to prevent her from putting it away.

"You have aroused everyone's curiosity, you must let everyone see it today!"

"It's not something you can see if you want to. Mei'er only said that I want to see it alone, so I'm very sorry everyone, sorry!"

Yi Jinning pulled out his arm and asked Xiaotao to put away the gift.Everyone expressed their understanding. It must be that the makeup gift from Wen Meier was too cheap, so she didn't dare to show it for others to see.

But Zhang Baoying slammed to the end and took Wen Meier's hand and said, "How can you do this? Everyone treats everyone equally, it's fair! You saw the gifts we brought, but you hid your own, thinking you gave them How amazing it is to add makeup!"

"The gift I gave is very ordinary, you can just look at it if you want, why bother?" Wen Meier didn't care about these self-righteous ladies in the boudoir, who were fighting openly or secretly. She had already seen it in the Anyihou Mansion. Tired.

Zhang Baoying blushed when she was told, and quickly let go of her hand.

"Well, it seems that everyone is right, you are giving a shameful gift! Don't dare to take it out!"

"What's so shameful?" Wen Mei'er sneered, and said to Yi Jinning, "Ning'er, take out your things. Let everyone see what a real gift is. The value of courtesy lies in friendship and not in it." Noble or poor, all of you took money from your family to show off, is that interesting?"

Everyone's face was red and their ears were red, and they all lowered their heads.

Yi Jinning asked Xiao Tao to take out the apron, and she also wanted to quickly see what the apron Meier embroidered for her looked like!

Wen Meier is not like other boudoir ladies who have certain rules of behavior. Her mother died early, and she was adopted under the name of her aunt, but she had to take care of her. Also has a chivalrous style.It's great that she can sit down and embroider something, but I'm afraid that the embroidered ones will be ugly and make her laugh.

Xiaotao gave the box to Yi Jinning, and Yi Jinning opened it carefully, it was a gift from Meier, no matter what was inside, she felt precious, and she had to treasure it carefully.

Unexpectedly, just after opening it, Yi Jinning frowned. Is this... is it mandarin ducks playing in the water or wild ducks fighting?

"Wow! It's a bellyband for mandarin ducks to play in the water!" Everyone laughed loudly, "What is this? It's embroidered like a landlubber."

"Is this a landlubber? It's just a pheasant!"

Zhang Baoying laughed loudly, and she never relaxed for a moment when she seized the opportunity to criticize others.

"If you say it's a pheasant, it's a pheasant!"

Seeing everyone's irreverent and confident eyes and Yi Jinning's astonishment, Wen Meier shrugged indifferently, and she didn't care what others said.

As early as her aunt died, she didn't care about anything, even though her aunt had advised her not to do this many times, and her father often scolded her for not knowing the rules and not being a girl.

"Don't do that!" Yi Jinning took Wen Meier's hand and held her in his arms, "Meier, I really like the makeup you gave me, really!"

"It's fine if you like it! If you don't like it, I don't mind you throwing it away!"

Wen Meier patted her on the shoulder and restored her smile.

Suddenly there was chatter in the room again, and after everyone made fun of each other, Yi Jinning suddenly remembered that Luo Xiaoxiao hadn't added makeup to her yet.

"Smile, what about yours?"

Everyone looked at Luo Xiaoxiao, who knows if the daughter that General Weizhen recognized halfway was a fake?

It is said that there is a birthmark on the body, it seems to be in the hidden part of the body, I don't know how General Wei Zhen saw it, maybe he caught a glimpse of it by accident in the Wanhua Building.

Some people covered their mouths and laughed, while others discussed in private.But Luo Xiaoxiao thought it was okay, and took out his present.

"Ning'er, this is my gift, open it and see if you like it?"

Gifts are less important than affection, and gift-giving lies in the friendship of the state of mind, regardless of the value of the gift.Just like the bellyband that Wen Meier embroidered for Ninger, what she gave was also very ordinary, even worse than what Wen Meier gave.
