Chapter 37: Can't Lose Face
But Xu Liangyuan is naturally arrogant. She said something like that just now. Now she wants to try it, but she can't save face.
Shen Fengyi didn't take the initiative to be polite. She couldn't even go down the steps and could only sulk alone.
Tao Chenghui rubbed Xu Yuanyuan's bulging cheeks, suppressed laughter and continued to eat melon seeds.
Tao Chenghui chewed melon seeds for a while, clapped his hands, took a brocade box from Ding Xiang, opened it in front of Shen Chuwei, and said warmly: "Sister Shen, I think your hair is too monotonous, so I thought of giving it to you. A set of hairpins.”
Xu Liangyuan looked over curiously and saw that inside the brocade box was a set of peach blossom hairpins with beautiful designs.
"Sister Tao is so generous." She snorted coldly in her heart, really trying to curry favor with Shen Chuwei.
Tao Chenghui replied humbly: "Sister Xu is too modest. Sister Xu is very well dressed. Of course my sisters can't compare. This set of hairpins is also my heart. It's best that Sister Shen doesn't dislike it."
Xu Liangyuan is also a good judge of goods, and she recognized at a glance that this set of peach blossom hairpins was made by a famous craftsman. Who would object to giving such an expensive gift?
Shen Chuwei had no interest in jewelry and hairpins, but when she saw the set of peach blossom hairpins, her eyes lit up. Isn't this the set she saw in the museum?
Laogui is worth a lot of money!
She accepted it with a smile, "Thank you, Sister Tao, for the gift."
Tao Chenghui: "As long as my sister likes it."
Xu Liangyuan also brought gifts. When she saw Tao Chenghui giving such an expensive gift, she was a little overwhelmed. If others knew that the gift she gave was inferior to Tao Chenghui, would she be embarrassed?
But it's a little awkward not to sit there.
Shen Chuwei kept staring at the fire, calculating the time when the sweet potatoes should be ripe. She reminded: "Chunxi, it should be ripe."
"Little Master, please take it out right now." Chunxi knew her master very well, and she was probably too greedy to wait any longer.
Chunxi moved the fire, peeled away the sand, and took out the sweet potatoes inside.
Tao Chenghui and Xu Liangyuan are both wealthy young ladies. They have never seen them before, let alone eating sweet potatoes.
They stared at Chunxi's movements curiously, and looked curious when they saw her take out five silver objects.
Tao Chenghui stared at the silver thing and asked curiously: "Sister Shen, is this a sweet potato? Why isn't it red?"
Shen Chuwei replied: "Of course it's red. You'll know after you take a look."
After Chunxi took out the sweet potatoes, he opened the tin foil one by one, took out the sweet potatoes inside and let them cool.
Tao Chenghui saw it and laughed, "Sister Shen, it's really red."
Shen Chuwei waited for a while, then eagerly picked up one with his bare hands, blew on it, and started peeling it off.
Xu Liangyuan looked disgusted. Can she still eat food if it is placed on the ground? He really comes from the countryside and is not particular about anything.
The smell of roasted sweet potatoes spread, and Tao Chenghui became a little greedy when he smelled it, "Sister Shen, do you mind if I eat one?"
Although Shen Chuwei protects the food, when there are a lot of sweet potatoes, she will be a little more generous.
"do not mind."
"Then I'm welcome." Tao Chenghui stopped eating melon seeds. He picked up a roasted sweet potato from the ground and followed Shen Chuwei's movements to peel off the skin. The rich aroma of roasted sweet potato hit her face. She blew on it and then bit it. One mouthful.
"It tastes good."
Shen Chuwei was eating roasted sweet potatoes. Of course they tasted good. Otherwise, would she have wasted a piece of land growing sweet potatoes?
Xu Liangyuan watched them pick up the sweet potatoes from the ground and began to peel them and eat them directly. The aroma wafted over her, and she wanted to taste the sweet potatoes, but she couldn't save her face and took the initiative like Tao Chenghui.
Tao Chenghui's father is a businessman, he is very good at socializing, and he is a bit familiar, so there is no problem that can't save face, it just depends on whether she wants to or not.
From the moment she planted sweet potatoes, Shen Chuwei started thinking about when she could eat them. Now that she could finally eat them, she ate two in a row and touched her belly with satisfaction.
Xu Liangyuan looked at Shen Chuwei's behavior, which was not elegant at all. Then she looked at Tao Chenghui eating the second roasted sweet potato. Is it really that delicious?
She looked at another one on the ground and hesitated for a long time, wanting to pick it up and eat it directly. But before she could reach out her hand, she saw Chunxi picking it up, peeling it and eating it directly.
She immediately felt unhappy, "Chunxi, how can you eat my master's food without my master's instructions?"
Chunxi eats sweet potatoes for a meal.
Shen Chu glanced at Xu Liangyuan and said quietly: "In Xiyun Pavilion, Chunxi can eat whatever she wants."
Xu Liangyuan said: "Sister Shen, I'm not telling you that no matter how much you pamper your slave, you can't break the rules."
Shen Chu raised his eyebrows slightly, "I'm willing."
Xu Liangyuan looked a little unhappy, "I'm tired, so I'll go back first."
After saying that, he left Xiyun Pavilion angrily.
When she came out of Xiyun Pavilion, she remembered the purpose of coming to Xiyun Pavilion, but she forgot about it because of melon seeds and sweet potatoes.
I could only hold my breath and return to Yixiang Palace.
Tao Chenghui left Xiyun Pavilion after eating and drinking.
Shen Chuwei lay on the soft couch like a salted fish, not even bothering to turn over.
Chun Xi came over with a smile, lying on the soft couch with both hands and looking at Shen Chuwei, "My lord, please go and ask Your Highness if you want to come to Xiyun Pavilion for dinner tonight, okay?"
Shen Chuwei refused directly, "Don't go."
Chunxi looked confused: "Why, little master? Don't you and His Highness have a very good relationship now?"
"He not only affects the speed at which I cook, but also affects the way I sleep."
As soon as Xiao Jinyan came, she would sleep against the wall. How frustrating!
"My lord, you didn't eat less when His Highness was here. Besides,"
Chunxi blushed and said, "If you want to get pregnant, this position will definitely have some impact."
Shen Chuwei looked at Chunxi with a smirk, "You know a lot."
Chunxi said seriously, "My lady, I'm talking about business."
No matter how Chunxi persuaded her, Shen Chuwei just wouldn't let her ask.
She couldn't refuse Xiao Jinyan's visit, so couldn't she refuse him coming to her door?
Chunxi couldn't persuade her, so she had to ask, "My lady, what do you want for dinner?"
Shen Chuwei crossed her legs and thought for a while, "Sesame dumplings."
"Okay, I'll make sesame dumplings right away." Chunxi got up to make dinner.
The hot dumplings were served on the table, Shen Chuwei ate a delicious meal, and then lay on the soft couch, eating beef jerky while looking at the scenery outside the window, quite reverie.
When Chunxi was tidying up the closet, she saw the Shu brocade and said, "My lady, this is the Shu brocade that Xu Chenghui gave me. I will take it to make you a dress tomorrow, okay?"
Shen Chuwei looked over lazily and saw that the Shu brocade was light in color, which was very suitable for making pajamas.
"Okay, I'll draw a blueprint for you and you make me two sets of pajamas."
"Okay." After Chunxi was done, she began to prepare hot water.
Shen Chuwei loved taking a hot bath. Last night, because Xiao Jinyan was there, she didn't dare to take a bath, fearing that the prince would be angry if she kept waiting for a long time.
After the hot water was ready, Shen Chuwei took off her clothes and stepped into the bathtub. The warm water wrapped her body and could eliminate the fatigue of the day.
She ate and slept all day long, and she was also very tired~
Chunxi just came out and saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince walking in from outside. She was happy in her heart, and the chances of the lady getting pregnant increased.
