Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Soong Xijiao went into the kitchen to make dinner. After a while, she heard the door open and the sound of Shed jumping in joy. Soong Xijiao smiled but didn't say anything.

"From what I heard from Shed, you said today that you withdrew from Soong Family's second miss?" Zhong Chun's voice suddenly came from behind. Soong Xijiao was so scared that she dropped the spatula.

Soong Xijiao turned around and looked at Zhong Chun reproachfully, "That's right, what's the matter?"

"Next week is the birthday of Soong Family's First Madame. You also heard the words that you, Second Sister, brought, what kind of congratulatory gift are you planning to give?" Zhong Chun leaned against the door and looked at Soong Xijiao. Normally, she would listen to whatever Soong Qingchen said, but today, hearing what she said, he was shocked as well.

Soong Xijiao had always wanted to return to the Soong Family, so this time, First Madame's birthday was a perfect opportunity. Zhong Chun also wanted to find out what Soong Xijiao was saying and see what she was thinking.

Soong Xijiao picked up the spatula and continued working, not even bothering to look at Zhong Chun, "What other congratulatory gifts can I give? Soong Xijiao picked up the spatula and continued working, not even bothering to look at Zhong Chun.

Zhong Chun raised his eyebrows. This was not Soong Xijiao's style, "Just give me anything. Aren't you afraid that First Madame will be against you?"

Soong Xijiao shook her head, "I'm already a married off daughter and haven't returned to Soong Family yet, so why should I be afraid that she might have a grudge against me? "Besides, I'm living a good life here. No one is making things difficult for me, and very few people are knocking on my door to cause trouble. Since I'm very idle, where can I find leisure here in this mansion?"

Zhong Chun opened and closed his mouth. For a moment, he really couldn't think of an answer. This remark was contradictory to what Soong Xijiao had been talking about.

Zhong Chun had no reason to doubt the authenticity of his words. After all, if Soong Xijiao was only pretending in front of him, there was no need to spend so much effort and even offended his Second Sister. This was not a worthwhile business.

"Alright!" Soong Xijiao scooped the food into the plate and clapped her hands. Not bad, it smelled good. He turned around and handed it to Zhong Chun, "Alright, alright, go and get chestnut for dinner. I should be starving." Zhong Chun didn't say anything after seeing this.

After a few days, Zhong Chun saw that Soong Xijiao didn't worry about the wedding at all. After doing all that every day, she still ate and drank, watered and watered the flowers, and was very free. When she went out to sell glutinous rice meat, she didn't pay any attention to the shops on the street. Although Zhong Chun was puzzled, he didn't say anything.

That night, when Soong Xijiao was practicing in the yard, Zhong Chun sat opposite her, "There are still two days until First Madame's birthday. Are you really not in a hurry?"

When Soong Xijiao heard this, she was stunned for a moment. Then she slapped her head as if she had suddenly realized something, "If you didn't say it, I would have forgotten it all!" "Forget it, forget it. When I go out on the streets tomorrow, I'll pick whatever I want. As for my family savings, they won't be much."

Zhong Chun couldn't help but twitch his mouth when he heard what Soong Xijiao said. Not only did Soong Xijiao not take it to heart, she had even forgotten about First Madame's birthdate, "You … "Isn't that too perfunctory?"

Soong Xijiao waved her hand. "Aiya, it's just a perfunctory gesture. It's not like she can do anything to me. Don't tell me she wants to tie me up?"

"Sigh …" Zhong Chun sighed and looked at Soong Xijiao helplessly. "Wait for me." With that, he entered the room.

Soong Xijiao looked at his back with a puzzled expression. "Why did I have to leave just because I taught them a lesson today? I don't care about that anymore. Let's just wait here for now."

After a while, Zhong Chun walked out with an unremarkable looking wooden box and placed it in front of Soong Xijiao. Soong Xijiao lifted it with her hand and it was quite heavy.

"What is this?" Soong Xijiao looked at Zhong Chun in confusion.

"Let's open it and take a look."

As he opened the box, he saw an extremely thick wild ginseng lying inside. It seemed quite old. Soong Xijiao quickly closed the lid and looked at Zhong Chun with a complicated expression, "You're not asking me to give this wild ginseng to First Madame as a birthday present, are you?" What a waste. Even though Soong Xijiao didn't finish her sentence, the pain was written all over her face.

Zhong Chun nodded, "I want you to make a congratulatory gift for First Madame. Not only do you want to make a congratulatory gift for her, you can also suppress the arrogance of others to avoid looking down on you."

Of course, Soong Xijiao understood what Zhong Chun meant, but she was still unhappy. "Such a good thing, how wasteful it is to give it to them."

"You don't need to worry. Since I was able to find one on the mountain, then it would be impossible for me to find a second one." Zhong Chun looked at Soong Xijiao's pained expression and smiled. He didn't expect her to be so unhappy.

Soong Xijiao struggled internally before she finally gave in. "Alright, then I'll give First Madame this ginseng."

Zhong Chun smiled and nodded, "Well, these days I've made quite a bit of money. A few days ago, I took your size to get you a set of clothes. Tomorrow you can go and buy some jewelry along the way to avoid saying that I treated you badly."

"Isn't that a bit too much of a waste? I don't wear anything on a normal day, so even if I asked for it, it would still be a bit of a waste." Soong Xijiao lowered her head and thought for a moment, "How about this, I don't need the jewelry. My mother once gave me a set of jewelry, a Cloudfall Tassel from Feiyun's Landing. It should be enough to deal with it.

The jewelry provided by Feiyun's temple was incomparably exquisite and expensive. This jewelry was given to him when Soong Xijiao's mother was pregnant with Soong Yuanhan. She was afraid that it might clash with the color of his clothes.

Zhong Chun frowned, he thought for a while, then nodded at Soong Xijiao, "Yes, it's a set of jewelry made of silver and blue gems."

Soong Xijiaoben was relieved when she saw Zhong Chun's troubled face and saw Zhong Chun nod his head.

"Phew …" "It's good that you don't want to rush, but how did you know my size!" Soong Xijiao looked at Zhong Chun with a weird expression. In the original owner's memory, there was no memory of Zhong Chun knowing Soong Xijiao's size.

Zhong Chun looked at Soong Xijiao calmly, "I made your clothes according to that size. Is there a problem?"

"No way …" Soong Xijiao looked at Zhong Chun. This explanation was very reasonable, but she felt that something was off.

Soong Xijiao didn't say anything else and lowered her head to continue practicing. After so many days of practice, Soong Xijiao's writing was much better than before. At the very least, she was still able to identify the words on many things.

Soong Xijiao was very satisfied with this. After all, Zhong Chun would only teach her a few strokes every time. It was already pretty good for her to be able to do this.
