The second aunt was so angry that her face turned red, and the eldest aunt, Dahong's daughter-in-law, and Xiangzi's daughter-in-law were also indignant. He shook his head and said to them, "You two should first think about why she did that. Even if her nature is really arrogant, she will not do such rude things as a woman who has become a mother. Since you have done it, it can only mean one thing, you are in her way. As for why it hindered her eyes and made her so out of shape, it is estimated that her daughter finally said that the family affair was not as good as our brother, and then she became angry and vented her dissatisfaction on you. In addition, it is also possible that he didn't want to see you, and deliberately shamed you, so that you would not go to the Qin Mansion again. ”

When Erya said this, a strange smile suddenly appeared on her face, and the words changed: "But! In this way, it is because her daughter is not well married, and it is very, very bad! Speaking of which, people from big families are better than you! You can achieve your goals with just one move.

Actually, although I don't know the real story, one thing I'm sure of is that you must have made her feel poked in front of her. And you don't want to follow her wishes and stop going to the Qin Mansion without asking, she doesn't know how to be proud behind her back and doesn't say it, Mrs. Qin is only afraid that she is also blaming you in her heart for not being able to stand it. Therefore, if you don't have enough eyes, your vision is not wide enough, and your self-esteem is too strong, this is the gap! ”

The four women looked at Erya puzzled at the same time, and Dahong's daughter-in-law replied in a low voice: "It shouldn't be!" She kept laughing at us, and we were the dowry gift that our family gave to my brother and daughter-in-law, saying that our family had nothing to give. Send snails, loaches, eels, and prawns."

"Ugh!" Erya accidentally burped in her throat! She felt guilty. However, to say that there are snails, loaches, yellow eels, prawns, and even lotus roots in the dowry is a big misunderstanding.

This matter has to start from the beginning: I heard that Mrs. Qin San disliked Laizi as a villager in a poor ravine. did not agree to marry her Wang family, and humiliated her two brothers-in-law with words, which made Erya annoyed. It is said that it was Qin Qianhu's daughter-in-law who wanted to marry her sister to Laizi because Xiaohu saved her husband, so as to save face for her grandfather.

Erya is also to fight for a face, and at the same time, it is also to make a face for Laizi. There are a lot of things in the dowry that can be said to be something that no one in the capital, the family, or even the official family, can take.

In addition to the wild geese, Sixi cakes, gold and silver ornaments, silk and satin, etc., which are necessary in the ancient rites, Erya is additionally equipped with some things that are produced by themselves and are expensive and difficult to buy outside. Two of the most important of these were the new carriages. One is an RV worth 10,000 taels and the other is a short-range car worth 5,000 taels. Then there was the new tea made with the tribute tea, the glass products that had not yet appeared in the market at that time, and the fur coats, sweaters, tapestries, etc., which were all home-made and could be taken out as a dowry. And according to the woman's family, the elderly and children under the age of 12 are prepared with two sets of autumn clothes and pants to sweaters to coats, fur coats, and down jackets.

Actually, these things look very dazzling. Others also think it seems to be worth a lot. But Erya knows in her heart that these real costs are not much money. If she wants to make a face for Laizi in the capital, this is not enough, she also needs to have something unusual. What else is there in her house to show off? If she thinks about it, there are still those raised in the water, planted in the fields, and run in the mountains. But just sending it there is impossible, and the value is too low. Think about it, how can you make a special effect? Erya thought about it for several days, and finally came up with a good trick, that is, to bring the materials and the chef to the woman to make a hospitality table, so that the woman can save face in front of relatives and friends, which is much higher than the dowry itself.

With this idea. Then there was a misunderstanding that the snails, loaches, and yellow eels that made Mrs. Qin San laugh at as a dowry. In fact, Dahong's daughter-in-law and Xiangzi's daughter-in-law didn't know that this Third Mrs. Qin couldn't stand it. to squeeze them. At that time, loaches, yellow eels, and prawns were popular in their homes, but they could not be bought with money in the north, especially lotus roots, callus whites, and snails, which many northerners basically never ate or even seen in the south.

Er Ya sent a message to the female family before preparing these, and the female family agreed to this matter very happily, and thought that it was inconvenient for them to transport things all the way in the past, and thoughtfully said that they would only invite a maximum of ten tables of guests, so that they should not prepare too much. However, Erya has done things at home, so she will know that usually there will be more guests who actually come to the door than those who are invited in advance. She prepared thirty tables of ingredients according to her own food serving volume and sent them to the capital by water.

As soon as the dowry arrived in the capital, the carefully prepared gold and silver jewelry, silk and silk really did not dazzle the noble ladies and rich ladies in the capital, and the first thing that really blinded them was the two new-style carriages. At this time, Mrs. Qin San, Qin Qianhu's wife, and Laizi's future Yue's family knew that Laizi was originally the Wang family in Hepu Town who had a car dealership, as well as a dozen jinshi and champions. As for why Qin Qianhu's wife and his family-in-law also knew, this was also because General Qin didn't tell his family too much, lest he want to marry his granddaughter and give him a son, as if he had the money he fell in love with. Who knows, his daughter-in-law and granddaughter didn't give themselves this face, but the granddaughter-in-law rounded her face. It was also at this time that Mrs. Qin San, who was still thinking about watching her nephew's jokes of being complained and blamed by her mother's family, had already begun to regret it.

Later, the women were surprised to see the loaches, yellow eels, snails, black fish, grass mix, fat heads, lotus roots with mud, and the white water that they couldn't name, and pots of frozen prawns wrapped in quilts, and a lot of air-dried rabbit meat. Some people laughed so hard that they couldn't straighten their waists, and said that this man's family couldn't afford to give a dowry, so he used these to make up the numbers, right? Some joked about the future mother-in-law who came to the son: "Oops! Mrs. Kong, you don't even need to prepare New Year's dishes now, right?! ”

Mrs. Kong smiled and said lightly: "This is the material for tonight's banquet, not a dowry." My daughter's in-laws said that they would like to thank us for marrying our daughter who had worked so hard to raise her to their Wang family. Therefore, today, her Wang family borrowed my place to hold a banquet to thank me and my master. ”

Some people exaggerated praise, saying envious words that I don't know if they are true or not, and some people laugh in their hearts, and they don't know if these things can be eaten? He pulled so far to save face. The women had never traveled far away, so naturally they didn't know about these ingredients that had been eaten crazy in the Central Plains. But the men who came back from outside know! When the popular dishes of the south, which could not be seen in the north, were served, the men were going crazy. Some people who don't know these dishes are still commenting on them, and some people know that these dishes are to be served in limited quantities even in Luzhou, so the guests buried their heads in eating.

Until all the twenty-eight dishes were served, the male guest even wiped the soup at the bottom of the plate, and shouted that he hadn't eaten well. The female guest, a little more civilized, barely left a plate of soup. The ladies and Mrs. Kuo quietly rubbed their chests, and smiled embarrassedly at each other, anyway, everyone knew that no one had to laugh at anyone.

Master Kong was originally very opposed to the youngest daughter's family business, but it was only because his wife and two daughters strongly agreed that he had to admit this family. But even if I admit it, I have never been happy in my heart, and I have always felt that I can't hold my head up in front of my colleagues, and I always feel that what others say has a meaning. At today's wedding banquet, he didn't invite his colleagues over at all, lest those countrymen who didn't understand any rules make a fool of themselves in front of their colleagues, and these male guests who came were all relatives of their own families. After a wedding banquet, he knew the true foundation of this future son-in-law's family, although he was a countryman, but this style was no less than that of a big family in the capital. Although there is still a big gap between marrying his family, he reluctantly accepts it if he is so embarrassed by his Wang family's face. After the dinner, Master Kong, while making excuses for accepting this in-laws, thought about how to tell his wife and let the chef of the male family teach his own chef how to make those dishes.

Master Kong returned to the master bedroom with a little drunkenness, and Mrs. Kong had already ordered someone to make him a new cup of tea and put it in front of him. This new tea is one of the dowry gifts sent by the man's family, and Mrs. Kong specially took it out to entertain today's guests. Since it is a rich and noble family, there is no one who does not drink tea, and it is difficult for women to say that they drink that tea one by one, but men know that even the best tea on the market is not better than this. There is a person who has drunk tribute tea, but he can only blink at the fragrant and pleasant tea, because he is really not sure whether this is tribute tea or not! When I drink tea during the day, I know that this tea is good, but no one dares to comment at will, for fear that what I say is wrong and make a joke.

Master Kong is only a fourth-grade official, and he has not yet been qualified to drink tribute tea, so he only thinks that this tea is similar to the idea of tea from her in-law's house that the eldest daughter picked and shrunk before. But he didn't dare to comment on this tea in front of the guests, and now when he tasted the new tea again in front of his wife, he finally dared to let go and talk about his feelings: "Madame! How can I drink this tea the same as the tea that Zixian took back from her Qin Mansion? ”

Mrs. Kong rolled her eyes and looked at him, didn't she mess with her and ignore her during this time? Now what do you say to yourself! But for the sake of him finally not blowing his beard and glaring at him, he ignored him: "It's all sent by the Wang family, how can it be different!" I heard that the Wang family also sends tribute tea to the saint every year, and the tea is a little better than the carefully selected and packaged tea. Everything else is the same! The Wang family gave fifty cans this time, and you are going to show it! ”

Maybe it's because of the difference in psychological feelings, as soon as I heard that it was the same as tribute tea, when Master Kong took another sip, he felt that the sweetness after the bitterness was more refreshing. He closed his eyes and enjoyed the beautiful taste before he said tonight's business: "That lady! Are there any leftovers of the ingredients for those dishes at today's table? ”

"Yes! There's more than half left, and you want to be treated? ”

Master Kong hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, I didn't invite you on the other day, and it will make people unhappy if you invite them later!" I just thought that if there is any leftover, do you think you can ask the chef of the Wang family to teach the chef in the sect? Well, I still want to eat a few more meals! As he said this, he smiled at her a little embarrassedly when he saw his wife squinting at her. (To be continued......)
