【New Red Mansion】Perfect World

Seeing that nothing was wrong, Zijuan went to the small building over there to have dinner. Sure enough, Shifan waited for her to arrive, and then they sat down face to face and started eating while chatting.

Wang Xifeng called Lin Pin'er to the green gauze cabinet, and Xu Ping followed behind. When no one was in the room, Wang Xifeng took a paper bag from Xu Ping, which contained an extremely exquisite gift box.

When you open it, you will find a pair of hand-carved magenta porcelain plates with cloud patterns, a pair of pink tri-color covered bowls with gold edges, and another rose-red gold-rimmed fairness cup. It is really beautiful in bright pink.

"This is my collection, which I bought at an auction before. Most of them are from the Yongzheng period. It's not a complete set. I was young at that time and liked pink, so I bought a set like this.

I don’t have time to drink tea now. It would be a pity to leave it there. You can keep it for your new house.”

Pin'er thought the color was indeed very girly and the color combination was also beautiful. But she changed her mind and said, "I appreciate your kindness, but it's too expensive. How can I accept it? Besides, it's your collection. If you give it to me, I'm taking away someone else's love!"

Seeing that she was unwilling to accept it, Wang Xifeng had to spend some time to persuade her, "You are moving to a new courtyard, which is equivalent to buying a new home from the inside out. Everything must be brand new. These tea utensils are the most important for the appearance. Ordinary tea sets will not look good when guests come, and other things will make them look down on you. Besides, if I want to give you something else, I have to spend money to buy it. This is clearly ready-made, why don't you use it?"

Pin'er was silent, not knowing how to refuse. Wang Xifeng continued:

"You should accept it quickly. I have several more gifts for girls that I need to prepare and send to them."

After hearing her say this, Pin'er couldn't refuse any more.

Wang Xifeng saw that the time was right and spoke again, "You should keep it, but don't show it in front of them in the future, so that they won't say that I'm biased. I'll need your help in the future."

Lin Pin'er suddenly understood what was going on when she heard this. She had just been wondering why Wang Xifeng was so generous. Seeing that the teacup was not an ordinary item, she did not dare to accept it. It turned out that she was right. She really had something to ask for.

"What do you want from me? How can I help you?" Pin'er asked softly.

"There's nothing to do now, but I'm worried about the future. Now you can see that the company of the young master of the Li family has cooperated with us, and there will definitely be more cooperation in the future. I'm afraid that when the time comes to ask him for help, I will come to beg you." After Wang Xifeng finished speaking, she carefully observed her attitude.

Pin'er reacted very quickly and immediately thought of a countermeasure:

"Sister-in-law is such a joker. How can I make the decision for her? On November 1, my cheongsam shop will be officially opened, and I will be holding a cheongsam show. We can use our garden then, so I will naturally trouble you."

Wang Xifeng thought that this was all they could talk about today, so she was not in a hurry. She still smiled and asked her to put away the teacups, and then left, making the excuse that she had to give gifts to other girls.

As soon as she left the green gauze cabinet, she did not go to other girls but turned around and walked towards Mrs. Wang's residence.

Xu Ping was surprised and asked, "Does Miss Lin agree to this?"

Wang Xifeng raised her eyebrows impatiently and said, "How could she agree? She clearly rejected me. She sent me away with a small list from her shop. I underestimated her. She is so cunning at such a young age." After saying that, she quickened her pace, and Xu Ping had to follow quickly.

Here, Grandmother Jia sent everyone away, leaving only Li Shuirong behind, and asked how the decoration of Lin Pin'er's room was going? Was there anything she could help with?

Li Shuirong quickly replied, "The furniture will be almost ready by tomorrow. The green plants will arrive the day after tomorrow. I will take Pin'er to choose books, stationery and the like tomorrow. There is one thing I don't quite understand, which is the design of fabrics such as bedding and curtains. After all, it is a little girl's room, and I am afraid she will not like the color I choose. I am planning to go back and ask my grandmother tonight!"

When Grandmother Jia heard this, she said proudly: "I am the best at tidying up the house. Now that I am old, I don't have the time to mess with my house. Let me help her tidy it up. I guarantee it will be elegant and simple. I have two personal items. I have received them until now, but I have never shown them to Baoyu and the others. If they had seen them, they would have been gone long ago."

When Li Shuirong heard what Grandmother Jia said, he immediately took out the renderings he had made and showed them to Grandmother Jia. Grandmother Jia looked at his furniture arrangement and then called Yuanyang:

"She has a yard full of bamboos, so she dare not use bright colors for the inner gauze, as that would be vulgar. So she uses light-colored gauze with a smoky feel. The misty kind is very beautiful. The furniture is brown, so the curtains can be a shade lighter than the furniture. You can add some gold thread to the fabric, or a pattern of flowing clouds and a hundred blessings, or a pattern of folded branches. She needs a fabric book tomorrow and I'll help her choose. It's just to block out the light, so it's kept away during the day.

As for bedding, the child likes turquoise, light pink, peach, and light purple. Make a set of each color and use them alternately! "

After giving the order, Yuanyang went out to make the arrangements. Jia Mu turned to Li Shuirong and said, "You spent a lot of money on buying her a house, didn't you? We use the public account here, and we will ask them to reimburse you when it's done."

Li Shuirong immediately waved his hand and said, "My second brother owns a decoration company. I will settle the bill with them after the work is finished. I agreed to help her decorate it, and I can afford the money."

"This is not a small amount of money!" Grandmother Jia worried.

"Don't worry, grandma. I have money. Besides, I just talked about this issue with Pin'er the day before yesterday. She is also afraid that I will spend money on her. I said: money is just a thing outside of my body, and she is like a priceless pearl. This little money is nothing."

Grandmother Jia nodded approvingly: "My granddaughter..." She choked up after saying this, and after controlling her emotions, she continued: "Material foundation determines mental freedom. I want to give her a house of her own. I just hope that she will be free and happy. At present, it seems that she is lucky to meet you."

After chatting for a while, Shui Rong left and went to the green gauze cabinet. Lin Pin'er was opening her express delivery. Today she received some school bag pendants. Pin'er was gesturing at the pendants on Shui Rong's school bag. There were a bunch of little bears, pigs, rabbits, and sheep hanging on them.

"I don't know what good fortune this bag of mine has accumulated in past lives, to be so respectable today."

This made Lin Pin'er burst out laughing.

Shui Rong saw a tea set on the small coffee table over there. He walked over to take a look, picked up the plate and touched the surface of the plate, then looked at the signature:

"This is a good item, something that comes out of an auction."

Just as I was about to ask Pin'er, Pin'er said leisurely, "Thanks to you, I was able to see the plates at the auction today."

Shui Rong's brain worked rapidly, and then he said, "Is this a gift from your second sister-in-law?"
