Chapter 83 Choosing Gifts
Gu Xiyan was very upset. What were her parents doing?
They stopped him when he wanted to join the army. Now that he has a woman he likes, they are still trying to stop him.
If only his brothers were still alive, he could do whatever he wanted.
He was actually the third son in the family. He had two older brothers, both of whom died for their country. One died at the age of eighteen, and the other at the age of nineteen.
My mother was heartbroken, and my father forbade anyone else to mention my two brothers.
When he proposed to join the army, his parents strongly opposed it. His mother cried all day long and said she didn't want him to live a life on the edge of a knife.
She even forbade him to have any contact with General Qu. If General Qu had not heard that he was engaged and came to congratulate him, his mother would not even have let General Qu in.
He just couldn't understand why his mother made things so difficult for Yao Jia, who was such a good person.
While he was in a daze, Yao Jia had already entered the jewelry store. She turned around and saw him staring at her in a daze, and shouted at him, "Why are you standing there like an idiot? Come in quickly."
Only then did Gu Xiyan come to his senses and walked into the shop.
Looking at the jewellery all over the floor, she was a little stunned, then a smile appeared on her face, "Jia Jia, are you going to buy jewellery? Take whatever you like, I'll buy it for you."
Yao Jia rolled her eyes at him. She didn't need a man to pay for her.
When the shopkeeper heard Gu Xiyan's words about his wealth and arrogance, and saw that the two men were dressed in top-quality clothes, he immediately greeted them warmly.
"Miss, our store has recently added a lot of new jewelry. Please come to the inner hall and I will bring them over for you to see."
Gu Xiyan was about to agree.
Yao Jia said before him: "Just bring the jewelry worn by the men in your store for us to have a look."
Gu Xiyan was slightly stunned, then he understood Yao Jia's intention. She was going to help him choose a gift, and he couldn't help feeling warm in his heart.
The shopkeeper invited the two men into the inner hall and served them tea and fruit. Soon the waiter brought out several pieces of jewelry for men.
Yao Jia raised her chin towards Gu Xiyan and said, "See if there is anything you like."
Gu Xiyan followed his instructions and scanned the various men's accessories.
He was actually not used to wearing jewelry, but since Yao Jia asked him to choose it, he chose carefully.
There are many styles of these accessories, including hair crowns, jade pendants, tiger charms, hairpins, thumb rings, and generation gaps...
Gu Xiyan fell in love with a bronze tiger talisman at first sight and held it in his hand, looking at it for a long time.
Seeing that he couldn't let it go, Yao Jia asked, "Do you like this?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Xiyan immediately put down the tiger talisman in his hand, shook his head and said, "It's just new and interesting, so I took a closer look."
Yao Jia didn't pay much attention to it and continued drinking tea.
After Gu Xiyan put down the tiger talisman, he went to look at other things, but his eyes would glance at the tiger talisman from time to time.
Although Yao Jia was drinking tea, she could see his expression clearly. She raised her hand and handed the tiger talisman to the shopkeeper to wrap it up.
Gu Xiyan hurriedly stopped him, "I didn't say I wanted it."
Yao Jia laughed, "Your eyes are almost glued to it, and you still say you don't want it. If you like it, just buy it. Why are you being so shy?"
Insist on asking the shopkeeper to pack it up.
Seeing that he couldn't get the upper hand, Gu Xiyan sat down in a chair and started drinking tea.
Yao Jia was puzzled to see him looking depressed, "Why are you still frowning after picking something you like?"
"Even if I take it back, my mother won't let me wear it. It will just be put in a corner and gather dust. I want to wear the things you gave me every day."
Yao Jia was puzzled. "It's just a toy. Why doesn't your mother let me wear it?"
Gu Xiyan remained silent.
Yao Jia didn't ask any more questions. She smiled and asked him to choose another one that he could wear out, and let him play with the tiger talisman in private.
Gu Xiyan pulled Yao Jia aside and asked her to choose for him. Yao Jia had no choice but to look around and choose a jade pendant with curling grass and cloud patterns for him.
"The curling grass and cloud pattern symbolize good health, so I wish you a healthy and smooth life."
Gu Xiyan looked at the jade pendant with unremovable joy in his eyes, "Thank you, Jiajia."
Seeing that he liked it, Yao Jia was also very happy and asked the shopkeeper to pack it up.
I picked out a few more things, paid for them, and asked the shop assistant to deliver them to Sanqing Temple.
I gave the two gifts to Gu Xiyan directly, "Take them yourself, so that I won't be blocked outside the door by your parents again on that day."
Gu Xiyan quickly assured, "Jia Jia, believe me, I will never let that happen."
He handed the gift back to Yao Jia, "You must believe me. If they continue like this, I will not celebrate my birthday at home. It will be the same if we celebrate somewhere else."
Yao Jia originally wanted to provoke him, to make him promise that she would go to his house in order to meet with his parents to discuss breaking off the engagement.
He wasn't at home for his birthday, so why would she discuss it?
I quickly said, "You don't have to be so radical. After all, they are your biological parents. Don't make things awkward. Just go back and talk to them properly. Don't mention the visiting card."
After hearing this, Gu Xiyan felt that Yao Jia was more considerate and liked her even more.
So when he returned to the Gu Mansion, he rubbed Mrs. Gu's shoulders and legs, and said that Yao Jia would also come to the birthday party.
Mrs. Gu immediately asked, "Did she tell you anything?"
Gu Xiyan secretly marveled at Yao Jia's accurate guesses, but still looked bewildered. "What can I say? She just said she would come to your house on time and prepare a birthday present for me."
Mrs. Gu complained in her heart that the girl was quite sensible and did not gossip in front of her son. She just wanted to come and celebrate her future husband's birthday. If she didn't let her in, she might cause gossip. But if she let her in, she couldn't swallow this anger.
I’m going to give her a good lesson on the day of the banquet to let her know that the Gu family is not someone who can be easily bullied.
…………
After Yao Jia returned to Sanqing Temple, she asked Lang Yue to bring in the gifts that the jewelry shop had sent today.
Pick out a gift for Langyue from it.
Langyue opened it and looked at it directly.
It was a pure white jade hairpin with a green cat's eye hanging on the head. She was very dexterous. She immediately took off the hairpin on her head and handed the jade hairpin to Yao Jia, asking her to put it on her.
Yao Jia took it with a smile, asked him to sit on the chair, and helped him put the hairpin in place.
After inserting it, it felt a little crooked.
While he was adjusting, Nangong Xiu Lan came in from outside.
The first thing he saw was the intimacy between the two of them, and seeing that Lang Yue was holding a gift box, he couldn't help feeling a little jealous.
Sit down on a chair beside you.
Yao Jia glanced at him out of the corner of her eye but ignored him.
He had deliberately tried to attract Yao Jia's attention, but now that he realized Yao Jia was ignoring him, he put his arms on the armrests of the chair, feeling aggrieved.
"My wife is partial. She only buys gifts for Langyue and not for me."
Yao Jia's hands trembled. Nangong Xiu Lan would not tolerate any injustice in front of her.
She quickly adjusted the hairpin on Langyue's head and turned to look at him.
"Hey, Lanlan, are you jealous?"
Upon hearing this, Nangong Xiulan sat up straight and looked at Yao Jia with resentment, "They are all your men, you can't favor one over the other."
Lang Yue pursed her lips and smiled secretly.
Yao Jia saw his bullied young wife's appearance and thought it was really adorable. She walked over, lifted his chin and asked, "How about I buy one for you too?"
Nangong Xiulan didn't even think about it and nodded quickly, "Okay."
