So Wang Shouyun invited Chen Yiyan and Huang Weitian to accompany him to buy gifts for his fiancée. Shopping is Huang Weitian's strength. If someone needs her, she wants to help her, and at the same time, she also helps her heart and soul to empty her wallet.
However, in the end, when buying gifts, he became four people, and added one Li Shaoyong. Paris and Schaffer were not too far away, so he arrived quickly by train, which was closer than Pingcheng to Wangjing. Although Li Shaoyong was the ambassador to France, he had his own house in Schaffer.
This time he came here to gather with Wang Shouyun and his second brother, preparing to send them off. However, since the last dance party, Li Shaoyong has also come to Shaffer frequently, which is more frequent than before.
Li Shaoyong is one year younger than his second brother, and at the age of 26, he is already a high-ranking official in China. Moreover, the wife of the senior official passed away the previous year and did not leave any children. Li Shaoyong specially stayed for his original wife for a year, and then re-entered this colorful social occasion. A French socialite once said with emotion: "The lack of Li Shaoyong's Paris social scene has become no fun at all, as if a piece of wood-filled steak meat makes people feel tasteless." This shows Li Shaoyong's charm.
The reason why this diplomat often comes to Schaffer recently is that he has recently met a beautiful lady who is playing a game where they wait for each other to take the bait.
Now, Li Shaoyong and this lady are following Wang Shouyun and Chen Yiyan. Although they are more than one meter away, the back and forth between their eyebrows and eyes makes Chen Yiyan, a person who believes that they are not very interested in love, can feel the pink waves between them from a distance. The beautiful lady is of course Chen Yiyan's new close friend, Miss Huang Weitian.
Chen Yiyan has been with her second brother recently, so she doesn’t spend much time with Huang Weitian. In addition, Huang Weitian is also busy having a hot fight with Li Shaoyong, so the two of them have not talked about this topic.
Chen Yiyu didn't find the opportunity to chat with Huang Weitian. Huang and Wang Shouyun were still thinking that he was picking gifts for him. He asked his fiancée very conscientiously how much money he planned to spend. Wang Shouyun came from a declining family. Although he is now a lieutenant colonel, the salary of officers is not very high these days, so he is also a person with a poor family. He said embarrassedly: "Rurui's family is in a superior family. She must have no shortage of ordinary things, but I don't have much money..."
Chen Yiyan said: "What you bought for her is your heart. I think she will like whatever you buy, as long as your heart reaches you."
Wang Shouyun smiled bitterly: "She is not an ordinary girl..." Chen Yiyan knew that the girl from a high-ranking official in Pingcheng and Wangjing had a very high vision. Seeing Wang Shouyun's careful look at her gift-picking, she probably liked her fiancée very much.
Chen Yiyan accompanied him to visit several boutique stores, but did not help him pick up what he wanted. Instead, she picked up several things herself and prepared to take them back to their homeland to relatives and friends, such as the eldest brother, sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, and second brother's children. The eldest brother and sister-in-law have been married for many years and have no children. The parents and younger brothers and sisters at home. More importantly, she prepared many carefully prepared gifts for A Guang, son in the Lu family, and planned to send them to the Lu family in person.
The driver behind him followed with several packaging bags. Chen Yiyan said rudely: "I also want to buy some gifts for my family. I will buy them more popular, so it is easier to buy some."
Wang Shouyun showed an understanding expression. Only then did Chen Yiyan think that he only asked to buy gifts for his fiancée, but his parents and brothers didn't mention anything. Chen Yiyan thought to himself that it might be another story.
When Huang Weitian and Li Shaoyong finished the lawsuit, Chen Yiyan pulled him and said, "Please help me think about it. I really can't think of it. Suiqing's fiancée has a very high vision and is said to be a very tasteful socialite, so it depends on you."
Huang Weitian's face was a little red and pink, and her eyes looked a little brighter than usual. How could she say that women in love were the most beautiful? She took back her mind from Li Shaoyong and immediately helped Wang Shouyun to start her brain. Buying things was her strength. She said that who dared to say second, and later she proposed to buy a women's mechanical watch.
The four major things that women in Pingcheng must have in the future: cheongsam, pearl necklace, lipstick, and mechanical watches. These four things are essential items for a more exquisite Pingcheng girl. Needless to mention cheongsam, pearl necklaces are also a fashionable trend that has been blown from France in the past two years. There are already many cheap imitation pearls abroad, so girls from ordinary families can afford it. The colors of lipsticks were not many in that era, and they were basically red. Mechanical watches must be bought from abroad, because China does not have the ability to produce watches, and mechanical watches are very expensive, but they are not as affordable as fake pearl necklaces.
Cheongsams, pearl necklaces and lipsticks have become popular in Pingcheng. Because mechanical watches are expensive and must be bought abroad, they are not so popular. However, it is also very impressive for the ladies of prominent families to wear a considerable watch.
Huang Weitian's proposal was recognized by everyone. Wang Shouyun weighed the money in her hands and nodded. This time, Huang Weitian did not take everyone to the store where she often went to buy jewelry, but instead went to a store in an alley.
She said: "Although the storefront is small and the venue is not grand, because of the tax problem of Schaffer, there are many watches that avoid tariffs and enter the country. Because the channels are not bright, they cannot be bought in the mall, and they cannot be sold too conspicuously. So only some old customers know that my old housekeeper is a regular customer here, so I also know that because of the avoidable tariffs, the price is quite appropriate."
The group of four people entered the store. The outside of the store looked like a repair shop for clocks and clocks. However, when Huang Weitian reported the name of the old housekeeper, she was taken to another room behind the shop. The owner took out a few boxes from the counter and opened it and saw that they were all excellent watches as Huang Weitian said.
Later, several people helped Wang Shouyun pick a mechanical watch with some broken diamonds inlaid. Chen Yiyan also took the opportunity to buy a piece for herself, which happened to be used when Kangdon was studying. After buying the watch, she went to Shaffer's mall to buy many clothes for four-year-old boys, as well as gifts for Mu Ma and others, etc. In the end, their car actually had the most things, and half a car was stuffed.
Chen Yiyan returned to Huang Mansion to sort out the things he wanted to bring back for his second brother, opened the suitcase for A Guang, and stuffed the small clothes and toys he had just bought into the box. Lu's mother thought about feudalism and standardized the thinking of old women in the previous dynasty. When she saw A Guang and other Western things, she might not be able to give him, but this was also Chen Yiyan's intention. She also wrote a letter to A Guang. She thought that A Guang should have enlightened and recognized words. Because the two elders of the Lu family cultivated a talented man, Lu Yunhe, attached great importance to the education of their descendants. Even if they loved A Guang, they would still be enlightened when they were old. The words in the letter were written in simple words, and they were afraid that he would not be able to see clearly with each stroke. He said that he would listen to his grandparents well, and she was thinking about him.
Huang Weitian sat on Chen Yiyi's bed and watched her walk around the carpet. She was thinking for a while and then busy again. Huang Weitian sat on the bed and pretended to ask her casually: "Jiahe, what do you think... how is Li Shaoyong?"
Chen Yi-chan said: "It's so popular with women."
Huang Weitian: "That proves that he is charming."
Chen Yiyan was very direct: "That means that his wife will be very tired."
Huang Weisian long tone said "Oh" and there was no more text.
After Chen Yiqiu sorted out the things, she sat on the sofa next to her and said, "Why, do you like him?"
Huang Weitian: "He is different from the men I have met before..."
Chen Yiqian: "Of course, he has a handsome face, a high position, and holds heavy power. How can ordinary men reach his position at this age? So it's different from ordinary men!"
When Huang Weitian heard that Li Shaoyong was praised, her eyes lit up: "Yes, he can be called a real young talent."
Chen Yiqian: "Hey, are all the words I said just now in vain?"
Huang Weitian: "Only such a person can be worthy of me, Huang Weitian!"
Chen Yiyan thought to himself that Huang Weitian would definitely not be able to persuade him like this now. Who can persuade him when love comes? In two days, Conton University will start, and Li Shaoyong will return to Paris again. The two met few times. With Huang Weitian's personality of being tired of the old and old, it is estimated that she would forget him in a few days. Besides, she has been next to Huang Weitian, so she can also watch a little. Thinking of this, Chen Yiyan did not pour cold water on her again.
The next day, my second brother was about to board the ship and leave. Chen Yiyu brought a bunch of things to my second brother for him to take back. The second brother was amused and laughed at the bags and suitcases in front of him, and said, "When I came, I only brought two boxes, one of them was for you, but I went back and took half of the mall." He also saw that someone was written on the box, and he would just do it as soon as he got home.
Chen Yiyan said specifically: "The one in this box is for A Guang. My second brother wants to deliver it in person and see A Guang. He told him that I have been thinking about him all the time, and this is a letter to him..." Even a person with a calm personality like Chen Yiyan could not help but say more.
After Chen Yiyan said what she wanted to explain, the second brother began to explain some things to her. The second brother himself was quite serious, a person like Shaoyan. When he was young, he learned Confucianism. He learned foreign knowledge when he was studying in the West. However, he still had the Confucian gentleman style in his bones, and he belonged to the kind of person who easily refused to make promises but would make promises once he made promises. It was rare to hear him talk about anything.
The second brother told Chen Yiyu, "When you have free time, you have to write more letters to your elder brother. The elder brother is also thinking about you. Since you wrote to him last time, he has been hurt by your words of gratitude and righteousness. When I called me, I have said several times. Your elder brother has loved you very much since I was a child. My elder brother is the same as before. I have no change of ideas. I will go back and talk to him carefully. If you have nothing to do, you will tell him what you think and what you are now. I think if he knows that you will enter Condon to study, he will definitely be proud of you!"
Chen Yiyan said "yes", and the second brother said again: "I'll tell you my parents, don't worry about this, should you write a letter or write a letter?"
"As for the Lu family, what can you do to negotiate with them? You can tell me that I will help you deal with it. You should get along with them calmly in daily life. You cannot be an in-laws or an enemy, especially Ah Guang is still in the Lu family."
Chen Yiqi kept nodding and saying "Yes". The second brother felt that he never liked to talk, but why did he liked to talk so much at this time? He felt that he had many things he had not explained. He really felt that he was worried about her!
The second brother said a lot to Chen Yiyan, and then he reluctantly boarded the ship. Wang Shouyun thanked Chen Yiyan and said, "Thank you for your boiled fish, thank you for your gifts with me."
Chen Yi-yen waved his hand, these are trivial matters.
The ship they were on soon turned into a small black dot at the sea level. Huang Weitian and Li Shaoyong were also going back home. Chen Yiyan watched Li Shaoyong get into Huang Weitian's car.
A few days after my second brother and the others left, Condon University started, and Chen Yi-chan finally went to this century-old prestigious school in his life.
