204. Love at First Sight Is Just Lust at First Sight (Seeking Full Order)

Mrs. Bai is from Japan, so Bai Gui gave her a kimono made of high-quality materials.

Although kimonos are common clothes in Japan, kimonos made of high-quality materials are really not cheap. For example, in Memoirs of a Geisha, the price of a kimono worn by Mamiu is much more expensive than that of Chiyoko...

This kimono cost Bai Gui more than 100 yen.

"Thank you, Mr. Bai..."

"I haven't seen such a beautiful kimono for a long time."

Mrs. Bai looked much happier and carefully put the kimono away. Such kimonos made of high-quality materials are worn at banquets, not daily wear.

"No, I just want Mrs. Bai to like it."

Bai Gui smiled.

It is better to give one high-end gift of the same price than ten mid-range gifts. Although the price is the same, people will always remember and have a better impression of those who give high-end gifts.

If Guo Jing had not given Huang Rong a Ferghana horse, Huang Rong might not have liked this silly boy.

Giving gifts is the fastest way to cultivate feelings.

"This is the brooch I bought for you. It just matches your dress."

Bai Gui said, and then opened an exquisite high-end gift box, and took out a standard feather-like brooch from it. A huge sapphire was inlaid on the top, and dozens of pearls were dotted around it.

In Western-style women's dresses, brooches are often worn...

"This brooch looks valuable..."

"Mr. Bai is good to Sister Xiuzhu, it's really a bit partial..."

Mrs. Bai couldn't help shaking her head and laughing.

This sapphire brooch should be worth about 300 yen, which is three times more expensive than her kimono. But this is reasonable. It's impossible to give her a gift that is more expensive than Bai Xiuzhu.

What she didn't even realize was that after Bai Gui gave the gift, she subconsciously and imperceptibly told a joke.

"What a beautiful brooch..."

Bai Xiuzhu was also a little obsessed.

Girls all like jewelry.

When she was a child, she got a pearl necklace during the "Zhuazhou" ceremony, so her parents named her Xiuzhu.

She basically wore this pearl necklace from then on.

She went forward to take it.

But unexpectedly, she got nothing.

Bai Gui dodged.

"You..."

A trace of shame flashed in Bai Xiuzhu's eyes.

Her face flushed slightly.

"This brooch is given to you by me, and I should wear it for you personally..."

Bai Gui smiled faintly and said.

He also had some small intentions in choosing the brooch.

The words teased...

In addition, giving a lady a brooch is also a way for men to express their love in a tactful way, because the brooch is closest to the heart, which means admiration and respect.

Bai Xiuzhu's face flushed and she said "hmm" softly.

It was considered an agreement.

If ordinary people put a brooch on her, she would never agree. Even if the maid at home wore a brooch, she would feel embarrassed. But Bai Gui was already her fiancé, and they had been engaged for several years. This intimate behavior was not excessive.

Bai Gui approached.

He pinned the brooch on Bai Xiuzhu's clothes.

His hand inevitably touched the girl. Although it was just a brief taste, it was very delicious.

Mrs. Bai did not stop him.

"The Jin family will have a banquet at 7 o'clock tonight. Why don't you go with us, Mr. Bai, so that you can take care of him and get to know some people. It's always inconvenient for us two women..."

When Bai Gui was about to say goodbye, Mrs. Bai said.

Hearing the strings of the harp, you can know the elegant meaning.

A glimpse of the whole leopard.

Bai Gui will soon understand Mrs. Bai's hint. Bai Xiuzhu is now of marriageable age and looks good. Otherwise, he would not have been so moved at the first sight of her at the embassy in Japan... Gu

The so-called love at first sight is actually lust at the sight of beauty.

Such a Bai Xiuzhu must have some suitors.

Even though the Bai family had already informed the outside world that Bai Xiuzhu had an engagement, there were still some people who had wrong ideas, thinking that the engagement was just the parents' order and the matchmaker's words, and the young lady would definitely not like it...

This kind of example is not uncommon. For example, Zhu Yingtai was actually engaged to Ma Wencai, but Liang Shanbo intervened, causing the marriage to fall through, thus becoming the so-called "lovers finally get married"...

Therefore, Mrs. Bai asked Bai Gui to go to the Jin family for a banquet, just to let Bai Gui show his face and stop some crazy bees and butterflies.

Most people still have face. Knowing that Bai Gui has returned to China and is in a free love relationship with Bai Xiuzhu, they will pay attention to their own limits. For some shameless people, the Bai family can also target them, not as troublesome as before...

After all, those who dare to pursue Bai Xiuzhu must be the children of officials.

It is difficult to target when there are many people.

When there are fewer people, things will be much easier.

Bai Gui understood the meaning and readily agreed.

This kind of pursuit cannot be avoided by the Bai family rejecting it or Bai Xiuzhu rejecting it.

He must come in person!

It was just a banquet, he had experienced a lot in Japan.

…

Jin Mansion.

As the rickshaw driver Er Qiangzi said.

Even if the court is gone, the officials in the court are still officials.

And the military minister Jin Quan is still honored.

From time to time.

A Ford car stopped at the gate of Jin Mansion.

The car honked.

Immediately, a doorman came forward to open the door.

The reception maid who had been waiting for a long time also came forward to curry favor.

"Mrs. Bai, nice to see you again. Look, the Third Young Lady played poker last night..., this is..." Xiao Lian was stunned, staring blankly at Bai Gui who was sitting side by side with Bai Xiuzhu in the back seat, a little at a loss.

Mrs. Bai and Bai Xiuzhu usually attend banquets together in the Bai Mansion, and occasionally Bai Xiongqi will be there.

I have never seen a strange man before.

"Hello, my name is Bai Gui, and my courtesy name is Meihe. I am Xiuzhu's fiancé, and I just returned from studying in Japan."

Bai Gui nodded slightly, then stepped out of the car.

After he got out of the car, he took Bai Xiuzhu's hand, and the two of them hooked their arms. The man was handsome and the woman was beautiful, a talented man and a beautiful woman, like a boyfriend and girlfriend.

"It's Mr. Bai..."

"I'm so rude."

Xiao Lian bowed and apologized quickly.

Although she had never met Bai Gui, Bai Xiuzhu often mentioned Bai Gui when she talked with the young ladies and young ladies of the Jin Mansion. Besides, Bai Gui was not an unknown person, so she remembered him in her heart.

When facing Bai Gui, she naturally did not dare to neglect him.

"It's okay. I'm new to your house. This is a gift I prepared. Please accept it."

Bai Gui handed over a gift casually.

Mrs. Bai and Bai Xiuzhu were familiar customers of the Jin Mansion, so there was no need to prepare gifts when they went to the Jin Mansion, but it was his first time to come to the Jin Mansion, so he needed to prepare gifts.

This is the basic etiquette rule!

The gift was neither light nor heavy. He was a scholar, so he only gave a set of his own autographed books.

Going to the Jin Mansion was different from going to the Bai Mansion. Now the master of the Jin Mansion, Jin Shuan, was powerful, and he had little relationship with the Jin Mansion. If the gift he prepared was a little heavy, people would know that he was flattering the powerful.

If the gifts were too cheap, the people in the Jin family would be dissatisfied...

After all, at the banquet, the dishes prepared casually by the Jin family were probably more valuable than the gifts prepared by ordinary people.

But Bai Gui was a scholar and a famous writer. A set of books was worth a lot of money. For him, a set of books was not worth much.

It was reasonable.

"Thank you, Mr. Bai..."

Xiao Lian thanked him. She saw that it was a set of books, but she didn't say anything. The scholars who often came to visit Mr. Jin would prepare their calligraphy and paintings as gifts. This was the literary taste.
