The day before the opening of Zhan Wemei's golden lotus pavilion she went to the Jiang's to deliver the gift to the madam personally. She carried a black box with an exquisite emblem of a gold lotus at the top.
Zuan Xi and Zian Xi were also carrying a smaller black box with the same design, it was a set of pieces of jewelry and cosmetics for madam Jiang.
"Mei'er you're so early ah? Aren't you busy with your shop's opening?" madam Jiang stood up as she received her warmly.
"godmother, don't worry I just personally came here to give you our gifts as promised" she smiled and handed the black box to the maid following her as it was quite heavy.
"right grandmother, these are our gifts" Zian Xi beamed as she handed her the small black box with cosmetics.
"And here's mine" Zuan Xi also didn't want to be outdone as he pipes in cutely, handing the madam a jewelry set.
"oh this seems really precious" madam Jiang lifted the black box gently. Just the packaging alone was enough to stir one's heart full of anticipation. She couldn't wait to see what was inside.
She was quite curious as to what kind of gift it is, the maid followed Zhan Wemei to look for a master craftsman before telling her everything but they still don't know what she was busy about.
"hehe, you'll surely love it grandmother" Zian Xi giggled.
"Uhm, how should I open this box?" she knitted her brows because she couldn't find the opening even after lifting the box upside down.
"I know, it's like this" Zuan Xi volunteered excitedly as he pressed down the golden lotus. He likes to open the box as it's quite cool. With a click, the box opened and madam Jiang was frozen on the spot.
"gasps! I love it so much!" she squealed in delight as she hugs Zhan Wemei, she then started going through everything.
She couldn't contain her excitement anymore as she smiled ear to ear, she loves everything about it. she hasn't seen anything this fine and beautiful even in the capital. The jewelry was unique and delicate. The light yellow dress was also elegant and refreshing. The cosmetics were, even more, better, though she doesn't know how to use them.
"let me show you how to use these cosmetics mother" Zhan Wemei said as she picks up the makeup kit and let madam Jiang sit down. She then proceeded to apply the makeup with simple yet concise instructions.
Everyone gulps as they watch her elegant and swift skills, it was like an enjoyment that tickles their hearts. They couldn't help but look at madam Jiang and the makeup kit enviously.
The entire courtyard was dead quiet when boss Jiang arrived together with his three sons whom Zhan wemei hasn't met before.
When they saw the madam who looks like a different person they were taken aback.
"Father, when did mother have a beautiful younger sister? Why haven't we seen this aunt before?" the youngest, Jiang Manman asks doubtfully.
"Pak! Nonsense, that's your mother!" he slaps his son on the torso as his eyes brightened.
"eh!!!!" now even the eldest and the second son were dumbfounded as they let out bouts of exclamations.
