Chapter 224 A Small Birthday Gift

Hearing the female voice over there, Bai Xi's eyes lit up, and she asked anxiously: "Who is it? Big brother, tell me quickly!"

Before Bai Chen could speak, the girl over there spoke, "Hello, sister, I am your brother's suitor."

The sound is crisp and sweet.

So brave!

When Bai Xi heard the voice, he began to feel a little more favorable towards this person whom he had never met before.

"Hello."

Bai Xi greeted her.

"Hello sister, can you call me later? I'm trying to find out whether he likes me or not, and I'm waiting for the answer."

"Uh...Okay. Come on, good luck!"

Bai Xi was surprised for a moment, then he hung up the phone with a smile and drove home.

She went home and read for a while, but unfortunately, she hadn't finished reading a book called "Records of the Grand Historian" after several months.

After reading two pages, she threw the book down, pinched her forehead, turned on the computer, and checked the financial news.

About an hour later, when Aunt Wang was about to cook, Bo Chen suddenly called, "Xixi, have you eaten yet? I'll treat you."

"Yourself?"

"You'll know when you come." Oh, it seems I've been caught.

Bai Xi went to call Aunt Wang, "I'm going out to eat, you don't have to make my portion."

Aunt Wang continued to work, "Then I'll make a basket of shrimp dumplings and freeze them. If you're not full, you can just steam them in the evening."

"I just happened to buy live shrimp today."

Bai Xi looked at the lively shrimps in the basin and nodded, "Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Aunt Wang smiled and said, "It's not hard to cook some food."

Bai Xi walked out, and after two steps, she suddenly turned back, "It's the season for pineapples now, right? Buy some pineapples tomorrow. I want to eat pineapple rice."

There is no need for lobster, the shrimp and pineapple rice is delicious, sour and appetizing.

Just thinking about it makes me drool.

After Bai Xi finished speaking, she washed her face and combed her hair, picked up her bag, and went out.

As soon as Bai Xi entered the agreed restaurant, he saw Bai Chen sitting with a girl.

The girl has an oval face, big round eyes, and long straight black hair. Her height cannot be seen when she is sitting, but judging by the joints of her legs, she probably isn't short.

She was dressed simply in a white sweatshirt and jeans.

If I was two points fond of him when I heard his voice, I am at least three points fond of him now when I see him.

Bai Xi walked over and shouted, "Brother, why don't you introduce me."

The eldest brother blushed for a rare moment. He took the girl's hand and said, "My girlfriend, Wu Jingyu, is from the same school as me."

Bai Xi smiled and called out, "Hello, sister-in-law."

Wu Jingyu also blushed and said, "Hello, sister."

Her subordinate pinched Bo Chen and said, "Well, we have known each other for such a long time, and you didn't tell me that you have such a lovely sister. You are going too far!"

Bai Chen enjoyed the sweet pain, but he couldn't show it on his face. He even introduced them to each other, "This is my sister, Bai Xi, who studies management at the Imperial University."

"Wu Jingyu is from the same province as us, a graduate student in rehabilitation medicine."

"Really?" What a coincidence!

Wu Jingyu smiled a little embarrassedly, "I met your brother last winter vacation when we were booking train tickets for our group."

Oh, I see.

At this time, the food came and they ate and chatted.

At this time, Bai Xi suddenly remembered something, "Brother, why don't you take your sister-in-law with you tomorrow."

The eldest brother looked at Wu Jingyu, and Wu Jingyu asked, "What's the matter?"

"It's my birthday tomorrow, and I'd like to invite you guys over for dinner, along with a few of my friends."

Wu Jingyu was surprised, "What a coincidence?"

"Yes, I called during the day and told my brother about my birthday." I heard her voice.

Wu Jingyu reacted, her eyebrows curved, "Okay, we will definitely go."

The whole person is very graceful and elegant.

Bai Xi liked her a little more.

Bai Xi sent the address to his eldest brother, "Brother, you haven't been to my house yet. If you have nothing to do tomorrow afternoon, come early and I'll show you around."

The eldest brother agreed.

The next day was Bai Xi’s birthday.

Early in the morning, when Bai Xi just woke up, he heard Xiao Shi's voice, "Ding. Happy birthday to the host. Here is a birthday present for the host."

Oh! There are gifts too!

Bai Xi sat up from the bed and planned to take out his birthday present to have a look.

As a result, something she couldn't hold fell onto the bed with a thud.

She took a closer look and was amazed by the cabinet.

A small cabinet with some historical traces, about 50 cm high and about cm wide. Bai Xi touched the cabinet lightly with her fingertips. She observed it carefully and saw the brown spots and gold stars on the surface of the wood. It should be red sandalwood.

There are six drawers on the cabinet, three in a row, two columns above and below, for a total of six.

At the top of the cabinet, she lifted up the obviously movable wooden board. Oh, this is the dressing cabinet of ancient ladies, which was called "zhuanglian" in ancient times.

After this movable wooden board was propped up, the mirror on the other side was revealed, and the place that was originally covered was now filled with seven or eight grids of different sizes, about ten centimeters deep, with some jewelry placed inside.

The key point is that this dressing table is not only made of mahogany, but also inlaid with various precious stones. The outside of each drawer is inlaid with a floral pattern, which is delicate and lifelike.

The art of inlaying precious stones was developed from the mother-of-pearl craft. The difference is that mother-of-pearl only uses shell cutting and carving, while the art of inlaying precious stones uses a lot more materials.

There are gold, silver, gemstones, pearls, coral, jasper, jade, crystal, agate, tortoise shell, lapis lazuli, turquoise, ivory, wax, etc.

The craftsman draws the pattern to be carved, such as landscapes, figures, flowers, birds... and takes the appropriate material, cuts it into thin slices, carves the shape, and then inlays it on precious wood or lacquerware.

For example, when inlaying a flower, the leaves are made of green agate, the white flowers are made of white jade, the center of the flower is made of beeswax, and the stone next to the flower is made of Shoushan stone.

To put it simply, it is to use its colors, carve its shapes, and finally combine them together so that the mountains look like mountains, the water looks like water, the flowers look like flowers, and the birds look like birds.

Bai Xi touched the thing in front of him. It was an antique!

At this time, Xiao Shi's voice sounded.

"Ding. Congratulations to the host for obtaining a small-leaf red sandalwood dressing box from the late Qing Dynasty."

"Ding. Congratulations to the host for winning the Imperial Green Jade Round Bracelet."

"Ding. Congratulations to the host for winning the 17.6 carat teardrop-shaped blue diamond pendant."

"Ding. Congratulations to the host for winning the 11-carat cushion-shaped pink diamond ring."

"Ding. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Imperial Green Jadeite Bead Necklace."

Ding, ding, ding...Xiao Shi's sound continued.

Emerald bracelet, emerald necklace, ruby ​​earrings, aquamarine ring, etc. etc.

Bai Xi was stunned.

It turns out that the dressing box is not the focus, it is just a decoration. The real focus is the various precious jewels inside.

This is jewelry, either super large or a lot of it... the clarity and color are impeccable...

Bai Xi looked at the jewels one by one, and then stuffed the dressing table back into the space.

"Xiao Shi, that's too much!"

Xiao Shi said in a dignified voice, "Some vulgar things."

Uh... "Are you Xiao Shi?" Is your personality, no, your unity split?

"I just read a novel..." Xiao Shi's normal voice came, "The novel about cultivating immortals is so good, and the villain is so handsome!"

Bai Xi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Look."

It’s better to read novels than to urge yourself to live broadcast.

"And, thank you!"

"You're welcome, host! Happy birthday, host!"

Bai Xi was relieved to see that Xiao Shi was back to normal.

This delay caused us to be late when we went downstairs to eat.
