Chapter 310: What the Heck is Dark Cuisine (2)_1
But Fang Hui dared not show too much at the moment, fearing that if Pei Qin became angry, she would truly have no chance in the future and their families wouldn’t be on such friendly terms anymore. She immediately agreed, "Since everyone is giving hairpins, then I will change to giving Silver instead!" She hastily packed away the hairpin.
Pei Qin glanced at her, not saying much.
Lady Ruan then smiled and changed the subject, mentioning the jade hairpin on Pei Qin’s head, "It looks so lustrous and clear, not like a common piece. Where did you buy it?"
Who knew where Shen Songming had bought it, to give her as a coming-of-age gift to save face. Pei Qin simply said it was bought in ’Fu City’. In the eyes of the ancients, hairpins were not something to be casually given or accepted, unlike modern people.
There was another white jade hairpin, a gift from Grandma Chang, Old Lady Chang, and it wasn’t of poor quality either, the material of the jade was clearly of the very best.
Grandma Fang said with a contented smile, "Qinqin has grown into a young lady! It’s time she had a few pieces of decent jewelry!"
All Pei Qin wanted was to have enough to eat, to do what she liked, and to be engaged in interesting activities.
Fang Fang looked on enviously, those pieces of jewelry and fabrics seemed of fine quality, whereas she herself only had velvet flowers and two Silver flower hair accessories. She thought of borrowing a few pieces from her cousin to wear for a few days, but would she agree?
As soon as the conversation turned to cooking and eating, Pei Qian quickly packed away all the jewelry gifts and locked them in her trunk.
Grandma Sun and Lady Zou both said that they wouldn’t let Pei Qin cook today, and had prepared the dishes with Pei Yuan well in advance.
