252. Gift-giving

He first followed behind Shi Gui, and then walked around to her as he spoke, thinking that her daughter's family was thin-skinned, and she clearly knew, and she refused to say anything about it, but because she didn't rush out just now, she simply pretended to be confused, and talked about these messy and irrelevant things with a smile.

Shi Gui didn't pay a word to him, and raised his eyes lazily, but Mrs. Liu heard the sound, and when she saw that it was Mingyue, she immediately smiled shyly: "The military master is here, water chestnut hurry up to boil water and make tea!"

Mrs. Liu's pickle business is getting better and better, and there are pickle jars in the front yard where she can stay, if it weren't for Shi Gui to stop her, she still wants to put the sauce jar in the backyard, and put it in the open space in front of Ye Wenxin's window.

Ye Wenxin is indispensable, it turns out that he can't even smell the rich fragrance of flowers in the secluded fence, and the bottle in the room is either jade or silk, and he doesn't care if the sauce jar is placed under his nose at this time, or Shi Gui frowned: "The girl is good, my mother is so unparticular? The next time my wife's sister comes over, she will always say it when she sees it, and she is outside, don't go too far." ”

Mrs. Liu stopped thinking about it, and ran to her son's house again, and asked her daughter-in-law to follow her to pickle vegetables, and send them to the barracks when she got out of the tank.

The water chestnut was pierced with silver cloves and touched her ears from time to time, Ye Wenxin had a lot of jewelry, Ye sent it to her according to the season, because it was all plain silver for her filial piety, so she didn't go overboard, it was full of boxes, when Shi Gui cleaned up the house, she looked at it for a while, the shining treasure was shining, how could she not like it.

Now I have a pair, I wear it every day, and I am familiar with Xizi, and when I saw him coming, I showed this pair of new jewelry on my ears, and took Xizi's hand to give him a cake: "My mother said, when I am older, give me a pair of silver bracelets." ”

Xizi is different from those half-grown male babies in the village who hate dogs, he listens to water chestnut talking, although he doesn't agree to her to climb with her, but he won't make fun of her and tease her, water chestnut likes to play with Xizi very much, and gave him honey to drink and pastries for him to eat.

Mingyue is still following behind Shi Gui, she has not worn red, women's families naturally like red flowers, and when they made up their minds to enter the city, they also cut her out, I thought about it, but all the money in my hand was given to Shi Gui, and there was no reason to get it back, so it was delayed and delayed, and it was delayed until this month.

Shi Gui couldn't get around him when he went around, so he simply crossed his hands and didn't move, and stood still: "You have taken two vacations, but have you visited Wu Qianhu?"

Mingyue opened his mouth and couldn't speak, he was going to see it, they came earlier, Lord Wu was a family member and wealth, and he fell behind on the boat, he counted that he would go to visit Jinling as soon as he arrived in the day, if it weren't for Wu Qianhu, he wouldn't have such a day, and he couldn't be a big soldier for the rest of his life, he had to go up, first as a general flag, and then as a general, step by step.

But he never thought that he would be able to meet Shi Gui, Xizi is Shi Gui's younger brother, and the life in the barracks is forgotten, so Wu Qianhu should have arrived in Jinling a long time ago.

Shi Gui frowned: "Not only you go, but also bring Xizi with you, thanks to his willingness to leave Xizi, otherwise our sister and brother will not see each other, I have prepared a few gifts, and I also wrote a gift list for you, how many people in the Wu family, how many people should go to thank you."

How can there be so many considerations when the soldiers come to the door, Lord Wu's family has never had so many rules, Mrs. Wu has suffered from it, her eyes never stare at the gifts in people's hands, and the few clothes that fit Xizi in her early years were still given by Mrs. Wu, and she may do things beautifully, and it is always better to meet the number of courtesies.

Mingyue stared at Shi Gui and didn't speak, Shi Gui didn't understand, and became anxious: "You are really!" complained to him, seeing that he was still smiling on his face, and lost his temper: "You go to Dingxiang Building to do the four-color gift box, although I don't know Mrs. Wu's eating, the dim sum there is famous, and the people in Jinling City go there to give gifts, there are four small begonia boxes and four large plum blossom boxes, as well as eight heart boxes, eight boxes are flower shelves that look good and are not eaten, you go to a plum blossom box."

Mingyue still didn't speak, listening to her chatter with a smile, Shi Gui looked at it and sighed in her heart, Mingyue is clever again, where can she understand the doorway of these inner houses, even she heard it in the eyes of the Song family, back to the book, the list of gift lists sent by the tent, she and Chunyan both have to write down for a long time, which one is good and which one is not, all from Chunyan.

There has never been a military attache at the door of the Song family, but it is not wrong to salute like this, Shi Gui simply sat down, Mingyue was next to her, Shi Gui gestured to him: "I seem to have heard you say that the Wu family has two daughters, but there are no sons yet......"

Mingyue hurriedly interjected: "Yes, yes, it's just a year old, Lord Wu has had a son after many years, please eat and drink for three days." ”

Shi Gui smiled: "That's better, you go to the silver shop to see if there are any delicately beaten silver locks, and send a long-lived one." "Mingyue is from the military camp, and she is a young student, so she is not thoughtful in terms of etiquette, and she will not be too harsh.

Carefully ask Wu Qianhu who is in the family, I heard that the eldest girl is married, and there is a second girl, Wu Qianhu is not young, but the child is small, Mrs. Wu suffered a disaster in her early years, and it has been difficult to give birth, and the one in front is not her own.

That is, because he wanted a son, he took care of Mingyue like a mud monkey like this, and treated him as half a son, otherwise he would not have been surnamed Wu, and taught him to practice martial arts, seeing that he was really smart, and thinking that he would learn to read with his cousin, so that he could have a good future in the future.

Shi Gui abacus once, took two satin out, this is Chunyan brought to her last time, there is Shi Ju light bamboo, Shi Gui box is not missing, Ye Wenxin rewarded the satin jewelry, a little bit of she still has some private savings, picked up two satin: "Although it is not good, it is not bad, this forehead and purse are made by me, to Mrs. Wu, thank her for her kindness." ”

Shi Gui said so much, but Mingyue stared at her face, no one had ever planned for him like this, he thought so thoughtfully and carefully, Mingyue didn't push it, his money was all in Shi Gui's, how to spend it was her idea, and she smiled and responded, her heart was warm.

When I was a child, I was awkward, I refused to admit that this was good, I couldn't say a word of thanks, I only took something to repay her, and now it's the same, pinching the money in my sleeve, and when I finished the ceremony, I gave her something and told her to wear it.

At this time, it was still early, the fog had just dispersed, and it was impossible to delay it again, the two changed into clean clothes, Mingyue was still carrying fresh vegetables in her hands, and took Xizi to the city, Mrs. Liu knew that they were going to visit the Lord of Qianhu, and patted her leg and asked her son to catch the car to send it: "Also ask him to see the door of the official's house." ”

Mingyue took Xizi with her, Shi Gui also taught Xizi two words of thanks, Mrs. Liu had to bring some home-made pickles, Shi Gui smiled when she saw it, she was a person who would come to things, send it once or twice, maybe she would climb a thousand households.

Shi Gui sent them out, and Mrs. Liu just knew that Mingyue actually knew Wu Qianhu, who was a person who could talk to the door, so she sent them out with Shi Gui, and said next to the door: "Miss Shi Gui is so blessed." ”

Shi Gui glanced at her, and Mrs. Liu laughed: "Don't bother me, girl, a woman's marriage is a big deal, pick a good one, then the future life will be blessed, according to me, there is no better than Wu Junye, and there is a relationship with the family of thousands of adults, that waist and that leg are ......"

The more Shi Gui listened, the more he didn't like it, he turned around and went in, and the water chestnut was still beside Mrs. Liu, and he raised his head and said, "Why didn't my mother say it, what's wrong with her waist and legs?"

Mrs. Liu snorted: "It's not your little girl's family that should know." He said and pointed to the vegetable field at the door: "After the words are written, hurry up and pick the vegetables, eat wontons at noon, and ask your sister-in-law to cut the meat." ”

Shi Gui couldn't help but smile and went into the house, even Ye Wenxin heard it, she ran in and out and took a lot of things, knowing that she was going to give the Wu family a thank you gift, one of these things was Xie Mingyue, and the other was Xie Wu Qianhu, and she flipped through the arguments in her hand: "Send people away?"

Shi Gui nodded, Ye Wen had a heart to joke, and swallowed again, afraid that she hadn't eased up yet, the two of them sat and embroidered, Shi Gui suddenly asked her: "The girl has an identity, what do you want to do?"

Ye Wenxin's clear eyes seemed to be flooded with fine waves, flashing with a slight light: "I'm going to visit everyone Yan, if I can also open a women's school, it doesn't matter if it's a women's school, if there are poor children to learn, you can come over." ”

Shi Gui was stunned for a while: "Regardless of men and women, don't you have to be chewed again, Yan has only set up a women's school in Suizhou for more than ten years, although there are also places next to it, it is difficult to support, and she was forced to close it, she recorded it one by one, and the girl was not afraid when she looked at it?"

"I naturally know that it is difficult, but I have thought in my heart for so many years, how can I be willing not to give it a try?" she said and stopped talking, but Shi Gui stopped talking, it was not only Ye Wenxin who was trapped by her identity, she was the same, she had grown so big, and she had not tasted what it was like to be free.

Mrs. Liu chopped the cutting board in the kitchen to make a "ping-pong" sound, and Shi Gui frowned when she heard it: "I'm eating wontons again today." The two of them looked at each other and smiled, when Mrs. Liu didn't have a pickle business, she listened to Ye Wenxin's business every day, and now she has a business to do, her legs and feet are not idle, although the food is sloppy, but she also returned their closeness, and she also took the money to buy cakes and meat, and invited Shi Gui to eat and drink, wanting her to keep this business for a long time.

Mrs. Liu made money, and her throat was thick in front of her daughter-in-law, and she and the two of them waited for Ye Wenxin in this small courtyard, that is, they wanted to get two more rewards, and they didn't have to look at their daughter-in-law's face, Ye Wenxin turned over the tricks in her hand: "It can be seen that everyone Yan is right, if you don't stand on your own, you can't stand on your own." ”

Shi Gui was still Mingyue and they always had to come back in the afternoon, how do you know that they would wait until the evening, Mrs. Liu guarded the door and waited for her son to return to the village, and when the moon came out, Mrs. Liu's son swayed and drove back in the car, with the smell of alcohol, Mrs. Liu stepped forward to pat him, and his son spewed out a mouthful of wine: "The wine that Qianhu invited me to eat." ”

Looking at this sky, Mingyue was afraid that she was going back, Shi Gui'an was determined to go back to the house, and she heard two soft knocks on the back door, she asked who it was, and Mingyue's happy voice outside the door: "It's me!"
