Chapter 141
: Winning
As she said that, she ordered: "Hanxiang, bring my silver jewelry."
Hanxiang went away and took an exquisite box. Xia Ruo opened it. Inside it was a set of silver jewelry inlaid with fine gems, including two hairpins, one big and one small, one small, a pair of earrings, and a bracelet, which was exquisitely crafted.
"This is what I'm going to give to Qiu Lu on her birthday. Let's give it to Sister An'an first! Come on, I'll wear it for you." She took out the hairpin and wanted to wear it on Xia An'an's head.
Xia Anan hurriedly refused: "Miss Xia! This is not something I can do! I am just a maid who is too 'ordinary' to be more 'ordinary'. How can I accept such a valuable gift from you?"
Xia Ruo and smiled and said, "This is not worth anything! You don't have to do this!"
Xia Anan insisted on not accepting it and threw a look at Bai's mother asking for help.
Bai's mother smiled and said, "With my sister, Zhuo Ge'er, the rule is strict, and the servants must not dare to accept gifts outside. Otherwise, they will be severely punished and driven away!"
Xia Ruo smiled and said, "This is not called receiving gifts! It's just that I, a sister, helps five brothers to dress up his people! Look at Sister An'an's simple outfit, aren't you afraid that others will say he is stingy?"
Bai's mother whispered: "Some people always want to find him, or want to be a disciple of the Duke, or want him to do business in the palace. He is a man in front of the imperial court and leads troops, so he issued a military order, and people around him are not allowed to accept anything from outsiders!
Of course, you only think that he is the elder brother, but you don’t care about military orders. Otherwise, those people will always find various excuses for relationships. So, An An really can’t accept your things.”
Xia Ruo and his expression were a little panicked: "So that's the case! I blame me, I only have these things about my daughter's family, and I don't understand them at all."
Bai's mother smiled and said, "How old is sister? Brother understands your feelings!"
Xia Ruoyu smiled, then looked at Xia Anan apologetically: "Sister Anan, I'm teaching you to make things difficult! I'm sorry."
Xia Anan: "Miss, don't say that, I'm ashamed."
"The dim sum is so delicious!" Lu Linghui wiped his mouth and said, "Cousin, are there any more? Bring me some back!"
Xia Ruo and smiled and said, "You little greedy cat! There are so many! I will bring you."
"In the future, if my cousin has any good things, I will send them to me! I don't have any military orders!" Lu Linghui grinned.
"What do you want? You like me?" Xia Ruoyu joked with her, and the atmosphere suddenly became less awkward.
...
When she went back, Xia Anan was still in a carriage with her wife and the others.
While waiting for the bus, Xia Anan looked for an opportunity to thank Bai's mother: "Mom Bai, today I'm at the Xia girl, thank you for helping me with the help of the siege."
Bai's mother smiled: "In the future, if you encounter someone who wants to give you something, use this statement!"
Xia Anan nodded: "I understand."
Lu Linghui smiled very gossipedly: "Sister An'an, do you know why my cousin wants to give you something?"
Xia Anan could actually guess, but she shook her head.
"Because she wants to be my sister-in-law!" Lu Linghui smiled very seriously, "There are too many girls who want to be my sister-in-law, so she gives me delicious food and jewelry. We are the people around my brother, so we are trying to help her!"
Xia Anan smiled with a pursed lips: "Fifth brother is so popular?"
"That's it!" Although Lu Linghui choked Lu Zhuo when he saw him, the old man still gave her a face, and his tone was full of pride, "How good my brother is, he is both literary and martial! When he was not listed, he was the most popular rich son-in-law. Now he has become the top scorer, which is even more amazing! My father socializes with those uncle Shi who want to get married every day. While talking, he is very annoyed, he is so happy that he can't even close his mouth! Hahaha!"
