Chapter 1859: Gifts for the Guests
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“We have already received the guest list and looked through the food allergies of some of the guests. Please rest assured that there will be no accidents during the dinner.”
Ye Linlang then asked Ye Tianxin, “Tianxin, do you have anything else to say?”
Ye Tianxin shook her head. “No.”
She had not expected her wedding banquet to be held the same way a national banquet would be conducted.
“That’s fine. We’ll make sure we serve the most perfect dishes to the wedding guests.”
Ye Tianxin and Ye Linlang walked out of the white house, with Ye Tianxin feeling a little drowsy. She asked, “Mom, where are we going now?”
“We’re going to look at boxes for us to give the presents to the guests.”
Ye Tianxin was taken by surprise. “We even have to gift presents to the guests? Why?”
“Of course. We have to present gifts to the guests.” Ye Linlang did not know much about the custom. Wu Tong was more familiar with the practices as she had always lived in the capital. She had been the one making the arrangements for the wedding, while Ye Linlang was busy with her research on the X-virus.
Whenever Wu Tong was busy and could not cope, Li Xingchen would help as well.
Li Qingchen had been the one in charge of the gift exchange.
“Xingchen, it’s a lot of work. Thank you.”
Li Xingchen smiled sweetly. “Aunt Linlang, you’re too polite. As long as I’m part of the Xie family and we are all friends, I have to help. Besides, Tianxin is also my sister-in-law.”
“That’s right, Xingchen is not an outsider. Mom, you can dispense with all the formalities. There’s no need to thank her.”
Li Xingchen took out the gift box that she had prepared and handed it to Ye Linlang.
Ye Linlang looked at the ancient-looking box. She didn’t know what to think about it.
“Xingchen, what is this?”
Li Xingchen opened the box and explained it to both of them at the same time. “I had this box custom-made. This box contains gifts for the guests. They can be reused later. It can also be used as a jewelry box for the ladies.”
The box had a small mirror set on the wooden interior.
“I will put Grandma’s Jiameng embroidery in this compartment.”
Li Xingchen took out the hand-woven embroidery sewed by the students in the School of Jiameng Embroidery. The design on the embroidery was a baby panda with a few sticks of bamboo scattered next to it.
“Each guest will have a different design. Aunt Linlang, Tianxin. I’m thinking that we need to give a special present to the guests. If we use this as a gift, more people can get to know about Jiameng embroidery. It also shows our sincerity.”
Ye Tianxin looked at Li Xingchen and praised, “Xingchen, that’s very thoughtful of you.”
“Tianxin, you shouldn’t praise me too much. My head will start to swell.”
Li Xingchen then took out a small ceramic bottle from which she poured out a scent ball. She explained, “Tianxin, this is a scent ball. I made a trip to the town which specializes in making porcelain to have the bottle custom-made. This scent ball is newly developed by a master of perfume. It’s very popular among both the young and old.”
Ye Tianxin did not know much about the scent ball, which had a very strong scent. The fragrant was refreshing, somewhat like peppermint.
“Xingchen, this gift box has so many layers.”
Li Xingchen smiled and said, “Yes. This gift box is like Pandora’s box. Every layer contains a different gift. Tianxin, what do you think is in the next box?”
Ye Tianxin did not know what to think. She didn’t know what was going on in the mind of someone as meticulous as Li Xingchen.
