Chapter Seventy-Nine: Reception
In the main room of the Qi family, Peony stood next to the north wall, peeking at a mother-in-law and a girl sitting on a chair next to her.
The woman looked to be about forty years old, wearing an autumn-colored thin silk dress, her hair was combed in the most ordinary bun, and she only wore a few kinds of hair and face on her head, and her face was smeared with powder, rouge and mouth grease, and the whole person was neat and rigid, and she sat there motionless and made people feel panicked.
And the girl sitting next to the mother-in-law is dressed up very good-looking, with a tender green blouse, a moonlight flower skirt, long black hair in a double bun, wearing a pile of yarn folded branch lotus, and a small gold dotted cui six-petal plum, red gold jadeite earrings dangling on the cheeks, and a face as full and beautiful as a full moon.
These two people sat and didn't speak, but the girl was not as calm as her mother-in-law, and looked out from time to time, probably to see why the master's house hadn't come yet?
Peony was looking at it, listening to the sound of footsteps, and hurriedly walked a few steps forward to greet the people.
The mother-in-law and the girl also stood up when they saw it, and after a while, a beautiful woman wearing a pink shirt and a beige pleated skirt came in from outside.
I saw that this beauty's face was like jade, her eyebrows were like distant mountains, her eyes were like autumn water, and her lips were like painted Zhu.
She has a faint smile on her face, her eyebrows and eyes are crooked, her lips are upturned, and there is an indescribable amiability and cuteness, which makes people feel good at first glance.
The mother-in-law and the girl couldn't help but praise the good character in their hearts, and at the same time. The two of them became more and more respectful, and they didn't take the shelf of that kind of family slave at all.
Yun Yao entered the house, looked at it twice, and saw that the mother-in-law and the girl understood etiquette, so she hurriedly invited someone to sit down, and said with a smile: "You have been waiting for a long time, I am really young, and I have just entered the door, and I don't know what relatives and friends are at home. Tete asked our grandfather to know the relationship between our two families. Speaking of which, it's also that I don't know anything, and I don't make people laugh. ”
The mother-in-law hurriedly said, "Where, where." No matter what my wife says, she is a new daughter-in-law. I don't know, it's also due. ”
Yun Yao smiled: "Mom is?" ”
The mother-in-law smiled: "The old woman is the mother-in-law of our third wife. My husband's surname is He, and my wife calls me Mrs. He. ”
She pointed to the girl next to her again: "This is the big girl in front of our wife, and my wife will call her a magpie." ”
"Mother He." Yun Yao nodded slightly: "Our lord told me that your old lady is the best person." It's a pity that our two families are far away from each other and can't come and go often, now your family has arrived at Zhenting Mansion, and it will be convenient for our two families to come and go in the future, and said that we should have visited Mrs. Guan first, where did we think that Mrs. Guan actually sent someone to visit first, it was really rude for us, and asked Mother He to go back and talk to Mrs. Guan, saying that I was young and had nothing to do, and asked Mrs. Guan not to meet with me. ”
Yun Yao's mouth is skillful, and the words she says are really beautiful, plus she looks good and has a good voice, which makes people feel very comfortable to listen to, I really wish she could agree to anything.
This Mrs. He and the magpie gave Yun Yao a few words, and hurriedly smiled: "You are joking, according to the friendship between our two families, where can we entangle these dead people." ”
"It's your good sex." Yun Yao praised a few more words: "Is Mr. Guan and Mrs. Guan good?" How are my brothers and sisters at home? ”
"Okay, okay." Mrs. He hurriedly replied: "Our wife always thinks about your old lady and the old lady and aunts, and says that if you get closer, you should go over and have a look." ”
Speaking of this, Mrs. He said again: "Our master has only taken office in the past few days, the family is busy and chaotic, and it is inconvenient for our wife to come out. ”
Yun Yaoxiao's eyes were bent into a crescent moon: "This dare is good, I was saying that there is no place to play for a long time, and there is no acquaintance to talk to, fortunately, your wife is here, I will definitely go often in the future, say a word to your wife, don't dislike me." ”
"Our wife can't wait for it." Mrs. He also smiled: "Mrs. Qi is a person like Mrs. Qi, even if the old slave likes it when she sees it, she loves it in her heart, and our wife is afraid that she likes it more when she sees it, so she can't say that she is not willing to let you go back." ”
Yun Yao burst out laughing: "Mother He's such a clever mouth." ”
He Pozi hurriedly said: "It's not that the old slave is clever, it's really Mrs. Qi who is a little better, so that the old slave doesn't know how to praise it, and the old slave blames himself for his clumsy mouth, and he can't even say a nice word." ”
It wasn't just Yun Yao who said this, but the magpie and the peony both laughed.
After laughing for a while, Yun Yao asked some more questions, chatted a few words and was about to say goodbye, Yun Yao hurriedly asked Peony to take two purses and handed them to He Pozi and Magpie: "Mother Lao He and Sister Magpie come over for a run, this is not worth anything, take it and play." ”
Mrs. He didn't refuse, and the magpie took it happily, and thanked her well before leaving.
As soon as the two left, Yun Yao took the gift list from the Guan family presented by Peony, and saw that there were many things on it, some fashionable gadgets brought from Chang'an, some cloth and satin, and some snacks.
After reading the gift list, Yun Yao thought that this Guan family should be a good way to communicate with the Qi family, in this case, there is really no need to worry much, and when you go to the Guan family in the future, you can relax a little, just treat it as relatives and friends walking around each other.
took the peony and peony to sort out and put away the gifts given by the Guan family, took the snacks to the kitchen, picked up the favorite food and sent some to Qi Jing, Yunzhu kept some for himself, and scattered the rest to Liu's sister-in-law and the two girls.
He Pozi and the magpie came out of Qi's house, the two of them returned home in an ox cart, and waited for the car, He Pozi was older and calm, only put the purse away, and did not go to see what was in it, but the magpie was playful, and the temperament was also lively, so he took the purse and looked at it carefully, first praised the embroidered flowers on the purse, opened it to see, and was really surprised.
Before the magpie came to Qi's house, he thought that Qi's family was just a country family, and the family was digging in the soil. I don't even have a meritorious name, maybe how vulgar it is, I can't look down on it in my heart.
But when she went, she saw that although the yard rented by the Qi family was small, it was very clean and tidy, and the girl was also very well-behaved.
She followed Mrs. Guan San to meet many outstanding characters, but none of them could match Yun Yao, just Yun Yao's appearance compared many beauties to scum, not to mention that Yun Yao's temperament and character are so good. The words spoken are crisp and neat, and people are comfortable to listen to. It's really called magpies, and I don't know how to praise it.
Just because of Yun Yao, the magpie's impression of the Qi family has improved a lot, and the status of the Qi family has been completely raised.
To this day, she looked at the small peach-shaped bills made of gold in her purse. I was really surprised and delighted: "It's so beautiful." I can't think of a background like the Qi family. But he is not stingy at all. ”
The magpie held the golden coin and took a closer look, and gasped in surprise: "God, how is it so exquisite, how is this made." We've never seen anything like this. ”
As soon as she said this, Mrs. He also turned her head to look, and when she saw this, she was also frightened, and quickly took out her purse to see, which was also two gold bills, which were different from the magpie's, the magpie was peach-shaped, but hers was a small and small two walnut-shaped.
At a glance, this gold coin was made carefully, and when she looked at it carefully, He Pozi almost couldn't hold it.
Really, the workmanship is too exquisite, the two golden walnuts are very good, about only the little finger finger belly so small, so small but not solid, but take the thin tired silk braided, tired silk is not good, and the weaving is very fine, or you can't see it if you don't look closely, this is okay, the walnut also put the walnut carved walnut kernel carved by jade, that is, He Pozi thinks she is knowledgeable, but she really can't think of how to make such a delicate object.
She sighed, put away the golden walnuts, and told the magpies to collect them as well.
Later, the two talked about the new wife of the Qi family, and when they mentioned it, they were full of praise, only saying that the Qi family didn't know where such a big blessing came from, and they begged for such a clever daughter-in-law, not to mention anything else, just the appearance of the wife of the Qi family, it was made by entering the palace to be the master's mother.
While laughing, the ox cart arrived at the mansion, and the two of them got out of the car and hurried all the way to the backyard to communicate with Mrs. Guan San.
It happened that Mrs. Guan San had just taken care of the family affairs and was resting, and when she heard that Mrs. He and the magpie were back, she hurriedly called them into the house.
When Mrs. He and the magpie met the ceremony, Mrs. Guan San put down the teacup and asked, "You can see the newly married daughter-in-law of the Qi family?" ”
Mrs. He smiled: "I see, I see, I don't hide it from my wife, I have lived for most of my life, and I have never seen anything better than the new daughter-in-law of the Qi family. ”
"So good?" Mrs. Guan San didn't think that the daughter-in-law of the Qi family's new begging was so good, and she was also taken aback, and the magpie hurriedly stepped forward: "What Mother He said is true, the slave also looks good, and when the wife sees it, she will know how to do it." ”
"Since that's the case...... Mrs. Guan San thought for a while: "I'll give her the next post in a few days, ask her to come over for a day, and I'll take a closer look at what kind of character can make both of you praise it." ”
This sentence is to laugh, Mrs. He also laughed a few words, and then took out the purse in her sleeve and gave it to Mrs. Guan San, Mrs. Guan San was also surprised when she saw the two walnuts, she looked at it a few times and threw it to Mrs. He: "It's hard to think how to do it, it's strange and exquisite, even if Mrs. Qi rewards you, you can take it." ”
He Pozi's eyes narrowed when she smiled, and she said a lot of flattering words, and then she bowed and withdrew.
After she left, Mrs. Guan San asked the magpie some more words, and then waved her hand to call the magpie out, and she held her hands to think about things carefully.
Mrs. Guan San thought about some trivial matters, and saw a seven or eight-year-old brother wearing a big red woven yarn shirt and ran in, as soon as he entered the door, he threw himself at Mrs. Guan San, and shouted: "Mother, mother, it's hot, there is no cold sour plum juice." ”
Mrs. Guan San didn't care about anything else, so she immediately hugged the child and coaxed him, wiped his sweat with a handkerchief, and hurriedly asked someone to get sour plum juice.
Looking at the handsome and handsome brother who was jumping around in front of her, Mrs. Guan San thought about the hard work of the early years, thinking that if it wasn't for the Qi family taking her in the rain, the Qi Gu family would still be enthusiastic to help her deliver the baby, not to mention the current brother, I'm afraid she is not sure what will happen now.
Mrs. Guan San is not the kind of ungrateful person, just by virtue of this incident, she will miss the Qi family for a lifetime.
Looking at her own kid, Mrs. Guan San decided to have a good banquet for Yun Yao, and she had to introduce Yun Yao to the wives of various big families in this Zhenting Mansion, and let people know that the Qi family was protected by the Guan family. (To be continued.) )
