20demayo Chapter 278 Aren’t you doting on these little girls too much?
Chapter 278 Aren’t you doting on these little girls too much?
I don’t know if Master Bai was angry, but he kept buying things.
"Sixty thousand taels for the blood-clotting jade beads? That's too cheap! I heard this thing is a good thing, warm in winter and cool in summer. Buy it for our sweet baby..."
"Golden Silk Soft Armor? I don't know how good this thing is. Buy it and give it to Wanwan. It can protect her safety. Isn't it just over 40,000 taels? Buy..."
Li Dongyang tugged at Master Bai's sleeve and said, "Alright, alright, we're being too high-profile. I'm afraid we'll be killed if we go out. Can't we be a little more low-key?"
"Low-key? Is it that I don't want to be low-key? Look at their faces, they can't be low-key at all. What's more, these things are hard to buy outside.
It's definitely worth buying it, you have to buy it." Master Bai said while hugging Lin Wanwan.
Li Dongyang said anxiously: "Sister-in-law..."
Madam Bai coughed and said, "Let's take a closer look. If we buy them, we'll buy them! These things have been appraised by the auction house, so they shouldn't be too bad."
What you give to your good child must be the best in the world.
Li Dongyang rolled his eyes and almost fainted. Wasn't he told to be in charge of the money?
The waiter carefully brought out a batch of antique calligraphy and paintings, and displayed various exquisite gold and silver jewelry.
Although antique calligraphy and paintings are not uncommon in such occasions, when a painting signed by Liu Xiang was unveiled, it still caused quite a stir.
This painting has delicate brushstrokes and profound artistic conception. When the auction began, people raised their paddles and the price soared all the way until it was finally sold for more than two thousand taels of silver.
Liu Xiang stood aside and saw the price. He couldn't help but roll his eyes and muttered:
“In Bianjing, this painting of mine could be sold for tens of thousands of taels of silver, but in this small place, it only sold for a mere two thousand taels of silver.
It’s a complete waste of natural resources!”
Master Bai really felt that he was pretending:
“You used to be the Prime Minister, so naturally people flattered you. But now you…are like a phoenix that has fallen into the water, worse than a chicken!
I'm glad to be able to give you so much."
"You're the chicken! But your calligraphy is still quite valuable. If I paint and you write, we can at least get more than 5000 taels." Liu Xiang looked at him and said, "How about when we get to Bianjing, the two of us can paint and write calligraphy every day..."
Master Bai shuddered and said:
"Liu Quanzhou, could you please stop being so perverted?
You insisted on having me accompany you to paint and write calligraphy every day. If you didn't know us, you would think we were a perfect couple!"
"Bah! I just want to make more money. At the rate you're spending money, we'll probably be broke by the time we get to Bianjing.
I have to think carefully about our future! Can I rely on you for my whole life?" Liu Quanzhou said loudly.
"If you want me to support you forever, I will support you forever! Forget it!
You are my Wanwan now, so you should work harder and paint more in the future, so that you can make use of your remaining energy. "Master Bai's plan was quite good.
Liu Xiang looked at Lin Wanwan and said, "I'm not saying anything bad about you, but aren't you doting on these little girls too much?"
"That's because you don't understand what she means to us. Anyway, this little girl is our treasure. No matter what anyone says, it won't work. I want to give her the best in the world." Master Bai looked at Lin Wanwan in his arms, his eyes full of smiles.
"Okay, okay, I understand what you mean. You want us to work like slaves for your treasure!
You really know how to scheme against us old bones. How about this! I will teach her how to draw in the future. What do you think? "Liu Xiang looked at Lin Wanwan and said.
Master Bai nodded quickly and said, "That's a good idea..."
Liu Xiang continued, "Among the people you bought, one is the palace's governess, and you can let her stay with Wanwan when the time comes.
Madam Zheng once served the Empress Dowager in the palace and is very familiar with the palace rules. If it weren't for the evil concubine, she wouldn't have ended up like this."
"From the palace? My wife never goes to the palace Wanwan..." Master Bai said quickly.
Liu Xiang looked straight at Master Bai and said seriously:
"You have to understand that the world is unpredictable and no one can predict what will happen in the future.
Now that we have entered Bian Jing, we will most likely have to deal with people in the palace in the future.
We can’t neglect the upbringing of this child. We must let her learn something from a young age.”
Having said that, Liu Xiang paused, stroked his beard, and said with a thoughtful look in his eyes:
"Seeing how much you dote on your child, you might as well let her learn all the arts of music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Firstly, it can cultivate one's sentiments, and secondly, it will give one something to show off in the future, so as not to lose face."
Master Bai frowned slightly after hearing this, then stroked his beard and retorted:
"Wouldn't that be too much work for the child? I don't need to raise her into a lady from a wealthy family.
I think there's nothing wrong with being ordinary. Wouldn't it be better if she could find someone who treats her well and live in love with him for the rest of her life?"
Liu Xiang sneered and said:
"Baiyin, I have to criticize you for this! You're the typical want-it-all.
Not only did he not want her to suffer, but he also bought her a lot of things. You say, this zither, martial arts secrets, which one doesn't require hard work?"
Baiyin coughed and said, "I'm preparing this first. It's better to be prepared. What if she wants to learn it in the future?"
"When the time comes, we will teach her everything. The more she learns, the better. If she can learn all of them in the future, that would be a great thing." Liu Xiang has high expectations for her!
Lin Wanwan frowned. She was a social slave in her previous life. She didn't expect that she would still be a social slave in ancient times.
The requirements in ancient times were higher than those in modern times. Lin Wanwan's eyes turned black and she shed a tear of bitter tears.
Master Bai drank his tea in silence. Madam Bai looked at them and said:
"What's there to argue about? This is all for the good of the child. When she grows up, we will teach her step by step. She can learn as much as she can.
We have people to teach her at home, so she can learn whatever she wants. I think as long as she grows up happily, that's all that matters.
Qiao Niang, what do you think?
Zhao Qiaoniang nodded in agreement:
"I think the most important thing is that the children are happy, and of course it's good for them to learn some skills.
We'll see what the child chooses when the time comes! Our Wanwan is definitely someone who has her own ideas."
Master Bai nodded and said:
"Right, right, Wanwan is the smartest, let her choose for herself.
With so many of us helping her, why should she be so anxious? This jewelry is pretty good, it's the finale of today, and it's already over 30,000? Buy it, you must buy it..."
Master Bai spent more than 40,000 yuan to buy the whole set, including the Golden Phoenix and Chaoyang Hairpin, the Baoxianghua Yingluo Necklace, and the Scroll Peony Gold and Jade Bracelet.
The little princess of the Red Flame Gate burst into tears:
"Wow...why do they want to steal everything? Not only did they steal my martial arts manual, but they also took away the Qingshuang Sword.
Now they haven't even let go of this set of jewelry. What right do you have to steal so many things from me?"
