Chapter 416: Chapter 416: The Little Ancestor’s Buddha-Style Face Slap, Second Form
Old Third, Gu Pingzhi, nervously pulled his wife Sun Jiao’s arm: "What are you doing? Dad told you to shut up, but instead, you’re afraid no one notices you, huh?"
Sun Jiao covered her mouth, terrified and dared not utter another word.
She felt her mouth and throat burning as if they were on fire, like beginning ulcers.
But it couldn’t be that her voice became hoarse like a mouse squeak, could it?
All she said just now was, would a rat’s child dig holes?
—Wait!
Thinking of this scene, Sun Jiao was even more frightened and turned her head sharply to look at Xi Zuzi.
Only to find Xi Zuzi looking at her with a faint smile as if saying, do you want to test if your daughter is also a rat that digs holes?
Ah ah ah.
Sun Jiao sat like she was on pins and needles, afraid that Gu Pinting would squeak in public too!
Luckily, Gu Pinting was still showing Mr. Gu that piece of "Longevity as Nam Sharn," with Gu Shiyin explaining beside her, creating a harmonious atmosphere.
Gu Pinting’s birthday gift received unanimous praise from everyone.
Even the bigwigs like Huangfu Yaxian slightly nodded: "Not bad, the calligraphy and painting are quite elegant, this child really knows how to choose."
Gu Pinting was overjoyed!
Next, Gu Pingzhi gave a fan surface, Gu Xizhi gave a pair of antique tea cups, and Gu Mingzhu gave some freshly picked new tea from summer...
When it came to Gu Shiyin, she cheerfully took out a nephrite jade auctioned for six million to be carved into a personal seal:
"Dad, I noticed your wooden seal has aged, try this jade seal to see if you like it? I didn’t decide whether to engrave ’Gu’ or ’North,’ so once you decide, I’ll have it carved."
Mr. Gu’s eyes lit up: "This jade..."
"Dad, you can’t complain about the cost, okay. Who else would I spend the money your daughter earns on if not you?"
This sentence made Mr. Gu beam with joy.
"Great, wonderful. Just in time, Old Man Bao and I are having Master Chen Qiulan guide us in our calligraphy. When it comes to my seal, it can’t lose to Old Man Bao’s hehe..."
"Of course. Dad, this nephrite jade is of excellent quality, you won’t find another like it."
Gu Shiyin’s grand finale gift caused quite a stir.
Sun Jiao watched with envy, feeling a bit jealous that Gu Shiyin stole the spotlight from her Pingting, but also afraid to open her mouth and squeak, holding back her sarcastic remarks was so hard!
Fortunately, Gu Shiyin was not keen on showing off, after presenting her gift, she turned with a smile to Xi Zuzi: "Didn’t Miss Zuzi just give candy, could it also represent your sister..."
The entire room was reminded and once again thought of the incredible scene of Xi Zuzi giving candy earlier.
Just giving a piece of candy was already suffocating.
If it also represented Xi Rubao giving...
Xi Zuzi unhurriedly and somewhat philosophically spoke: "No, our little Bao has her own little items to give as she pleases."
Xi Rubao: "...!" Her sister called her Bao baby, sob sob sob.
Saying this, Xi Zuzi turned to Mr. Gu: "Xiao Shan, could you lend me your four treasures of the study."
Mr. Gu had been delving into calligraphy lately, and his study was well-stocked with top-quality paper and ink; hearing this, he immediately had someone arrange it, eagerly anticipating: "Is little Bao going to write for Grandpa?"
Xi Rubao: "Yes!"
Gu Pinting listened and secretly smirked: Truly, a rural bumpkin. Didn’t they see the seal Aunt just gave and the masterwork of Chen Qiulan I gifted?
To brandish a brush in the face of a master’s artwork, how presumptuous!
The long strip-shaped redwood table in the reception hall was already set with brushes, ink, paper, and inkstone.
Xi Zuzi touched the rice paper, her eyes narrowing slightly: "This paper won’t do."
