Chapter 68: Sending the Bracelet
I saw that this girl was combing her double girl's hair, and there were two pink beaded silk flowers embedded in the girl's bun, which looked like real flowers, if it weren't for the fact that Grandma Liu was an old man who had been accumulating years, she knew that there would be no such pink flowers at this time, and she might not have been deceived by it! Two tassel pendants hung down next to the silk flowers, shaking in Jia Lu's actions. He wore a narrow sleeved jacket of red butterfly flowers inlaid with silver-trimmed brocade, a small half-cut cloak with a large hood of snow-white mink belt, and a blue-green sprinkled floral satin and cotton trousers underneath. This is red, green and white, ordinary people only think it is vulgar, but this girl is born well, a white and tender face with small dimples, Grandma Liu can't speak, just feel like a little fairy under the seat of Guanyin, the little boy on the New Year's painting, is lined with bright clothes is more festive and lovely.
Grandma Liu is not an ignorant person, from the teasing of the porter, the secret display of Zhou Rui's family, and this ** milk seems to be enthusiastic and easy to talk, but in fact, she doesn't care, how do you not know that this Gaomen Mansion looks down on her poor relatives who are small families fighting the autumn breeze, and Grandma Liu is not angry, knowing that this is human nature, they did not directly drive themselves and others to go, but the chicken, duck and fish are still eaten and drunk, this is already a very charitable good family.
But when this girl took a look, she knew that it was such a serious lady in the Duke's Mansion, and she actually saluted to herself, a bad old woman in the countryside, and somehow inside, in addition to panic, she was also as comfortable as drinking ice well water on a dog day in such a rich house.
When I saw this board, I only knew that I was stupid and looked at the girl, I didn't know how to reply, I couldn't help but pinch, about the same age, one is the clouds in the sky, the other is the mud in the ground, it's really incomparable, so I hated the iron and scolded "You kid, you know how to eat, and you don't know how to say hello, give this"
Ping'er saw that Grandma Liu didn't know the fourth girl, and was afraid that she would make a joke about thinking of herself as ** milk like before, so she hurriedly continued,
"This is our grandmother's fourth sister, the eldest lady in the Ning Guofu next door, whose maiden name is Jia Lu. β
Grandma Liu of Ningguo Mansion knows, when she came, she saw a family next door to the east of Rongguo Mansion is Ningguo Mansion, and she has heard her son-in-law say that this Ningguo Mansion is a long house, the mansion of the patriarch, in this clan, the girl of the clan master's family is not more noble than the girl of the ordinary clan, and Grandma Liu forced Ban'er to ask the four girls how good.
Ban'er caught cats and walked dogs in the countryside, and the girls in the countryside splashed up even boys, and they just saw a little sister being held by a group of people tightly, and it was the first time I saw a girl from a noble old man who was about the same age as himself, clean and white and tender, more beautiful than the ladies of Master Li's family who returned to their hometown last time to worship their ancestors, and they were still dressed in fairy clothes, and suddenly blushed, they had just eaten meat, as if they hadn't been washed, and they only hid behind their grandmothers, so that the little fairy could not see the scum on their bodiesγ
Seeing that Ban'er was so disobedient, Grandma Liu pinched Ban'er's cheeks, pressed his shoulders and asked him to bend down and salute, but Ban'er only hid behind Grandma and didn't dare to come out.
Jia Lu saw that Grandma Liu was pinching and beating, and hurriedly stopped, "Don't get in the way, don't force him, I was tired of my mother forcing me to learn etiquette in the past, don't blame him." Jia Lu interrupted the conversation between Grandma Liu and Wang Xifeng quite embarrassed, and asked, "I don't know what happened to Grandma?"
"It's not about to be the New Year, and there is not even a New Year's food in this house, so I came to join you. "Grandma Liu had said to ** milk before, but it happened that Jia Lu came to interrupt, and Grandma Liu turned her head to look at ** milk.
Wang Xifeng said with a smile, "If you talk about relatives, you should have taken care of them without waiting for them to come to the door." But now the chores in the family are too annoying, and the wife is getting older, and there are some things that I can't think of for a while. Besides, I've been taking care of things lately, and I don't know much about these relatives. Now that you have come from afar, and it is the first time you have seen me open your mouth, how can you go back empty. You don't know that people like us don't take money at will, the manager's room, the account room is not allowed to pass, and it is not easy to take it rashly, but it happens that yesterday's wife made clothes for my girls 20 taels of silver, I haven't moved yet, if you are not too little, just take it for the time being. β
This time, Jia Lu is here, both as a sister-in-law and not a house, Wang Xifeng didn't say anything about "our difficulties, there are great difficulties" or anything. However, although Jia Lu was listening quietly on the side, she still didn't look down on it, now the Jia family doesn't have any big expenses, and the government is barely able to break even, and she can't use her dowry, twenty taels of silver is just a drop in the bucket for Wang Xifeng, as for so troublesome!
Grandma Liu didn't know the truth of this, and she didn't know what the chief steward's room and account office were doing, but she only heard that it was not easy to withdraw money, and her heart was abrupt, and then she heard that there were twenty taels of silver, and she smiled and squinted, "As the saying goes, 'A skinny camel is bigger than a horse', and with him, you will always pluck cold hair, thicker than our waists! The money you make clothes is enough for us farmers to live comfortably and comfortably in a prosperous year, and we will be able to relax and relax in the coming year." β
Wang Xifeng smiled and said nothing, Ping'er took the bag of silver and handed it to Grandma Liu, and took a bunch of money and said that it was for them to take the car back.
Jia Lu touched his wrist when they were talking, his hands were small, and his strength was not great, he didn't dare to bring a gold bracelet, he was afraid of breaking his wrist heavily, and there was only a silver bracelet in his hand.
"Grandma Liu, wait a minute, you can use this bracelet as a silver messenger if you melt it, and what do you say is sad this year?"
Grandma Liu took the bracelet and touched it, although the bracelet is not heavy, but the bracelet is inlaid with various gemstones, and it is not simple at first glance. I didn't dare to ask for it, and pushed the bracelet,
"Girl, this is too valuable, we don't dare to take it, take it back quickly. Our croppers are to watch the sky to eat, the rain has been less in the past two years, and the temperature has dropped sharply not long after the autumn, the first half of the season is fine, and the second half of the season is not ripe, which is sad. β
Jia Lu pushed the bracelet over, stuffed it directly to Grandma Liu, and straightened her face, "Just keep it." Although Jia Lu is young, she really has a strong face, and she doesn't let people refuse.
Wang Xifeng interrupted, "Okay, grandma, just keep it, you look at this bracelet as precious, here in this girl, there are not a hundred, there are more than a dozen, it is rare to have a chance to eat a big family, don't hurry up." The days are short and the nights are long, if it goes later, I'm afraid you're going to discredit the Hui family, so I won't keep you more, let Zhou Rui's family send you. And the four sisters, I don't know what's going on?"
Although Jia Lu still wanted to say a few words to Grandma Liu, but seeing that Wang Xifeng's eyebrows were implicitly impatient and tired, and thinking that there were still people guarding outside, it was not good to disturb him too much, so he obediently told him what he was going to borrow, got Wang Xifeng's letter, and led his mother-in-law to send the things back.
