Chapter 338 - 117: The Captain of the Training Camp
"Wife, what’s the use of learning flower arrangement when you’re a soldier who will carry a gun into battle in the future? Come, let me take you to practice shooting." Quan Shaoqing felt that he couldn’t let his mother take his daughter-in-law down a twisted path. Saying this, he took Gu Xiaoxi’s hand and was ready to leave.
Song Xu pushed her delicate presbyopic glasses and slapped Quan Shaoqing’s hand away, "You have the girl practice fighting and killing every day. It’s you who will go to the battlefield, while your wife needs to maintain her beauty and nurture her temperament at home. Flower arranging is the best way to elevate one’s realm. Go, stop bothering us here. If you’re bored to death, come and learn too. Give some thought to retiring early."
"Here you go again." Quan Shaoqing felt that this mother of his was always nagging him several times a day about the same thing. What was he supposed to do at home after retiring! He didn’t want to take over his dad’s business at all.
Gu Xiaoxi placed a beautiful rose into the vase, and looking at her creation, she was quite satisfied with herself. A combination of dancing orchids along with white lilies and yellow roses created a bright and enchantingly beautiful display. It looked auspicious, and any bouquet arranged by her was dazzlingly eye-catching, making it impossible not to acknowledge its beauty.
Song Xu suddenly stopped her conversation with Quan Shaoqing, and upon seeing Gu Xiaoxi’s masterpiece, she couldn’t help but praise, "Daughter-in-law, your artistic talent is really something. To create a master-level work on your first try. It seems this old lady is truly getting old."
"Mom, if you like it, I’ll give it to you. Let’s put this one in your room! It should bloom for a long time and can also purify the air; it’s good for your health." Gu Xiaoxi secretly sprinkled some Spiritual Energy on the fresh flowers, which made the blooms look even more delicate and beautiful.
Especially in terms of color, it was as if they were edited in Photoshop, with all their imperfections perfected.
So, the flowers she arranged always looked better than others.
"That’s wonderful. Then I won’t be polite. Thank you, daughter-in-law!" The old lady happily walked away with the vase.
Quan Shaoqing frowned deeply, he had told the old lady so many times, and yet she still insisted on calling Gu Xiaoxi his wife.
