76 Do You Like Ah Tao?
Although she was at a loss, Ji Zhao still obediently opened her palm.
“What happened?”
Shen Yao smiled gently and placed something in her palm.
Ji Zhao took a look and realized that there was a pair of silver earrings in the shape of small peaches in her palm.
Little peaches the size of soybeans were charmingly silly.
“This?” Ji Zhao was surprised and pleasantly surprised. “Why did you buy this? I…”
“Do you like it?” Shen Yao did not miss the surprise in her eyes. He said softly, “This is a thank-you gift.”
“A thank-you gift? Where does that come from?”
“Didn’t you give me a brush worth thousands of gold previously?” Shen Yao explained in a low voice, “Friends should return favors.”
“Thank you!” Ji Zhao couldn’t help but smile. “I like it very much!”
After returning to the Shen residence, Zhao Lanhua and Second Sister-in-law Shen were very happy to receive the gifts.
“Girl, why are you spending money again?”
“Mother, why don’t you give it a try? I think it will look very good on you!” Ji Zhao quickly smiled and said, “And the meaning of this small gourd is especially good! The gourd is equivalent to a blessing. Mother, you must be a lucky person!”
“Mother, why don’t we give it a try? I like these little butterflies too!” Second Sister-in-law Shen said impatiently, “Ah Tao, how did you know that I like butterflies the most?”
Ji Zhao, who had read the original novel, remembered that Second Sister-in-law Shen liked butterfly-shaped jewelry the most. That was why she chose it!
“Of course I guessed it!” Ji Zhao smiled innocently. “I just didn’t expect me to be right!”
“You’re amazing!”
“Ah Tao, let’s go. You and your Second Sister-in-law can accompany Mother to try out this new jewelry!” Zhao Lanhua chuckled.
“Mother!” Shen Yao suddenly said, “Can you let Ah Tao go back to her room to rest first? I suddenly had a high fever last night. It was Ah Tao who took care of me for half the night.”
“Sanlang, why did you suddenly get a high fever? Has your fever subsided?” Zhao Lanhua asked anxiously. She tiptoed and probed between Shen Yao’s eyebrows.
“Mother, I’m fine now.”
Zhao Lanhua hurriedly turned around and noticed the dark circles under Ji Zhao’s eyes.
“Girl, quick, go back to your room and rest!”
“Mother, actually, I’m not very tired…”
“Whether you’re sleepy or not, you have to close your eyes and rest for a while!” Without another word, Zhao Lanhua pulled Ji Zhao back to Shen Yao’s room. “Be good and have a good sleep!”
“Alright then.” Ji Zhao smiled gently. “Mother, I’ll rest first?”
Ji Zhao thought that she would definitely not be able to fall asleep. Unexpectedly, not long after her head touched the pillow, she fell asleep.
At this moment, in the central room of the Shen family.
“Five taels of silver?” Zhao Lanhua’s eyes widened in surprise. “That foreign merchant is really generous!”
“Putting aside the two taels for my treatment. As for the remaining silver, Ah Tao bought three pairs of silver earrings and gave them to you and my two sisters-in-law,” Shen Yao explained softly.
“Why is this girl always thinking about us? Why doesn’t she add some jewelry for herself?” Zhao Lanhua’s heart ached.
“Mother, don’t worry. I used my own money to buy a pair of silver earrings for Ah Tao.”
“Well done!” Zhao Lanhua immediately nodded in praise.
Then, she looked up and stared at her son thoughtfully.
“Mother?” Shen Yao raised his eyebrows in confusion.
“Third Brother, tell me honestly. Have you fallen for Ah Tao?” Zhao Lanhua stared into his eyes and questioned in a deep voice.
Shen Yao nodded silently.
