No wonder everyone dislikes it, Xu Muqing’s wedding gift is really sothing that can’t be taken seriously.
In the small box, there are six exquisite and beautiful pastries neatly arranged in various colors, so shaped like six-petaled flowers, so shaped like Lin Yuan’s favorite roses, and others in simple round shapes.
However, regardless of the shape, these are ultimately pastries, with an outer layer of pastry and various fillings vaguely visible inside.
Sigh, only Xu Muqing would use pastries as a wedding gift.
Yan Ruchun couldn’t help but hold her forehead and close her eyes, thinking about having to beco sisters-in-law with such a person in the future, she couldn’t help but worry for herself.
It seems that in the future, Wei Mansion can only rely on , the elder sister-in-law.
"Ah! What’s with all your expressions? My stuff is rare, Brother Rong helped find a craftsman with very exquisite skills outside the city, it took nearly two months to make!"
Seeing everyone being very dismissive of her wedding gift, Xu Muqing hurriedly defended herself.
Not listening to her was fine, but her explanation made the expression of distaste on their faces grow even stronger.
"Two months? Oh my! Can these pastries even be eaten? They must be moldy and hairy by now!"
Tian Xuan grinned and moved back, as if the little box in Xu Muqing’s hand contained sothing emitting a stench!
"How could they be moldy and hairy?"
Xu Muqing looked surprised and didn’t quite understand.
Yan Ruchun also interrupted her words helplessly, persuading her to quickly put away the box: "We know you like to eat, and that you must be thinking of how Lin Yuan is skilled in cooking, so you decided to give such a gift. However, it’s really inappropriate, so it’s better to put it away first, okay?"
"But my..."
Xu Muqing was eager to defend herself, but no one gave her the chance, they kept urging her to put the items away.
Only Lin Yuan frowned, looking sowhat puzzled at the pastries in her hand.
Han Huijuan next to her also noticed sothing amiss, staring at Xu Muqing’s hand.
"Wait!"
"Hold on!"
The two spoke in unison, exchanged glances, and smiled in perfect harmony.
Lin Yuan is the protagonist today, and this wedding gift is for her, since she already noticed, Han Huijuan smiled and closed her mouth.
"Inside here, these aren’t ordinary pastries. Co, Muqing, bring it closer so I can take a good look!"
Lin Yuan waved at Xu Muqing, her eyes filled with excitent as she looked at the box in her hand.
"Exactly, exactly, my pastries aren’t ordinary pastries, no, they’re not pastries at all!"
Breaking free from Yan Ruchun’s hand, Xu Muqing hurriedly cuddled her treasure and moved to Lin Yuan’s side.
However, her explanation was really too chaotic, leaving Yan Ruchun and Tian Xuan even more confused.
Lin Yuan took the small box, gently poked it with her finger, smiling with her eyes curved, "Huijuan, co take a look too, see how this craftsman’s skill compares to yours?"
Letting Han Huijuan take a look?
These are clearly pastries, not jewelry, if comparing, it should be Lin Yuan doing the comparison!
Wait a minute!
Yan Ruchun and Tian Xuan suddenly had sothing flash in their minds, they imdiately moved forward to poke the pastries with their fingers too.
Sure enough, it’s different!
"It turns out to be hard! Cold! No wonder there’s no pastry sll, these pastries are fake!"
Yan Ruchun was the first to point out the issue with these pastries.
Han Huijuan also picked up one to take a closer look, nodding repeatedly, "The outer part of this rose pastry is made of white jade, the filling inside is probably dyed with red pignt. Such things aren’t very valuable, but to make these pastries so lifelike, this person’s craftsmanship is quite exquisite. I feel ashad."
Though one works with jewelry and the other with jade, ultimately, Han Huijuan and this craftsman are both artisans.
Han Huijuan’s skills are evident from the set of Golden butterfly head ornants, even she says she feels humiliated, showing how high this person’s craftsmanship must be.
"Of course!"
Her pastries finally got recognition, Xu Muqing’s face also revealed sothing called pride: "This craftsman is from outside the capital city, Brother Rong helped find him after much effort! I provided the jade myself, just for the labor costs, I gave that craftsman two hundred taels of silver!"
