On the second day, Soong Xijiao took out the address Zhong Chun gave her to get some clothes. The clerk respectfully gave her the clothes. When Soong Xijiao touched them, she felt that they were of the highest quality and the auspicious cloud patterns on them were extremely exquisite.

Soong Xijiao frowned. According to the original owner's memories, this shop was not considered famous. Soong Family had never ordered such a shop before.

"Buddy, how much does this suit cost?" Soong Xijiao looked at the shop assistant, trying to get something out.

The shop assistant only smiled in a polite manner, "Customer, you should leave after taking the clothes with you. We don't sell anything at the store, we only trade."

Soong Xijiao knew that she wouldn't be able to get anything out of the shop assistant when she heard his reply. She furrowed her brows and returned home.

He went back to the cabinet and found a locked, exquisite box. He took out the key from under his pillow and opened it. A set of exquisite jewelry was placed in front of Soong Xijiao.

The golden threads within the silver hairpin seemed to have grown on its surface in an incomparably smooth manner without any traces of craftsmanship, including the inlaid areas. It could be said to be incomparably exquisite. Soong Xijiao could not help but exclaim that the wisdom of the ancient people was truly limitless.

But then again, these two things were quite suitable. Although there was a bit of color in them, they didn't seem monotonous at all. They were very harmonious.

As soon as Zhong Chun returned home, he saw Soong Xijiao coming out of the house. "Did you bring it back?"

Soong Xijiao nodded. "Just as you said, jewelry and clothes are pretty good. It should be enough for tomorrow."

"Won't you try?" Zhong Chun looked at Soong Xijiao with a smile. "What if the clothes don't fit him? How can we do that without trying?"

Soong Xijiao was stunned for a moment before she shook her head with a smile. "There's no need for that. I have to wear it tomorrow. Even if it doesn't suit me, I won't be able to change it."

Zhong Chun took a sip of the water in front of him, "If there's any problem, you can try to solve it now. If it's tomorrow, there will be no turning back."

Soong Xijiao frowned when she heard this. What Zhong Chun said made sense. She nodded slightly and went back to her room. The clothes fit him perfectly, not too big. He lightly painted his eyebrows and put on makeup. It was just that he had spent a little bit of time rearranging his hair, so he always felt that something was wrong.

After a lot of effort, he finally managed to get his hair back in place. At the back of his neck, there was a thin layer of sweat. Soong Xijiao exhaled a breath of air. Her hands were aching. It was finally done. That thick hair was really difficult to deal with.

With all these clothes on, Soong Xijiao couldn't bear to ignore her image anymore. Pushing the door open, he walked forward step by step with Miss Hu's formal steps.

Zhong Chun looked at Soong Xijiao who was walking towards him step by step, and a hint of joy appeared in his eyes. Slightly applied makeup, step by step stately, shallow smile sweet, exquisite beyond words. Zhong Chun was a bit lost in thought.

"Mother!" Shed came out of a room and looked at Soong Xijiao in surprise. You're so beautiful! "

Soong Xijiao was a bit shy. In the modern world, she had a very ordinary appearance. Very few people would sincerely praise her for her good looks. "Really? That's great."

Hearing Soong Xijiao's words, Zhong Chun also came to his senses. He looked at Soong Xijiao with a faint smile, "Yes, it's really pretty good. I'm sure I can handle tomorrow's birthday banquet."

Soong Xijiao nodded and looked at the box that was still placed on the table, "This wild ginseng, isn't it a little too simple?"

Zhong Chun smiled and shook his head, "This piece of wood looks extremely unremarkable, but anyone who knows what's good for it would be able to tell that this wood carving loses a bit of its price." Zhong Chun had also learned badly from Soong Xijiao, so he did not explain himself as he watched Soong Xijiao's reaction.

Soong Xijiao rubbed her chin as she pondered. What kind of wood would be like this … After thinking for a while, Soong Xijiao suddenly realized, "Agarwood! You actually used Agarwood to store mountain ginseng? " Such a big piece of Agarwood was much more valuable than the ginseng inside. Zhong Chun actually gave this to her as a gift to First Madame? Isn't this a waste of things?

Zhong Chun clapped his hands and smiled, "Well said, it's Agarwood! This wild ginseng is quite old, so it's natural that it's not suitable for normal wood. I saw that this Agarwood is not bad, the size is suitable, and the insides are also hollow. I fixed a corner to fit this wild ginseng. "

Soong Xijiao crossed over here for so long, and for the first time, she stomped her feet in anger, "You! Do you know how rare Agarwood is? This wild mountain ginseng is even rarer than this Agarwood! "

Zhong Chun looked at Soong Xijiao and stomped his feet in anger, not moving an inch. "You also said, this Agarwood is an even rarer item than wild ginseng. Then, is this Song First Madame good or bad?" Can Master Soong recognize such a thing? "

"This …" Soong Xijiao frowned, and her anger also dropped. Zhong Chun was right, it was already rare for ordinary people to encounter wild ginsengs, and even harder for Chen Xiang to do so. First Madame would be happy if she didn't throw such an inconspicuous box, not to mention recognize it as Chen Xiang.

After thinking for a long time, Soong Xijiao sighed. "I don't have any suitable tools to store this ginseng, so I can't do anything about it." She could only bet that First Madame and Master Soong didn't have this kind of knowledge.

Soong Xijiao sighed and went back to the house, looking a bit depressed. The moment she went back into the room, Chestnut laid down beside Zhong Chun and looked at him with sparkling eyes, "Daddy, what is Agarwood?"

Zhong Chun rubbed his chestnut head, "It's not anything strange, it's just a piece of wood."

"Oh …" Then why does mother look so angry? " He clearly saw his mother's angry actions, so maybe his father just didn't want him to worry.

Zhong Chun smiled and did not reply, but when he looked up, Zhong Chun looked very serious. Soong Xijiao, ah, Soong Xijiao, you are just a young miss who doesn't even want to go out of her house, yet you even know about Chen Xiang. The background of your Soong Family is not thick enough for you to know such a rare thing, right?

When Soong Xijiao returned to her room, she carefully took off her clothes, quickly got into bed, and comfortably stretched. Tomorrow, Song First Madame would definitely not be a good person, and Soong Qingchen would definitely obstruct her path. According to the original owner's memories, Miss Soong Family seemed to be slightly better.

All in all, tomorrow was definitely going to be a fierce battle, and today was going to be a good day's rest. With this thought in mind, Soong Xijiao turned over and happily fell asleep.
