12. Red-eyed
Sheng Xue saw that she was listening to the conversation between the nurse and her mother in the back room, and realized that her mother was also a shrewd person, but she didn't understand it. When I was sighing, I suddenly heard my mother say again: "Nurse, go and bring my treasure chest, and go to Nanyuan for dinner in a while, I think several brothers and sisters in the family are here, and the meeting gift is indispensable." The nurse went to the inner room to get a treasure chest, and now Sheng Xue saw that she couldn't pretend to be asleep, so she immediately sat up from the bed and called "Mother!" ”
Bai was checking the contents of the treasure chest, and heard her daughter calling her, and hurriedly ordered the nurse to take the person out again, Sheng Xue saw that she immediately hugged her mother, and Bai asked, "Are we Ah Man awake?" Sheng Xuejian rubbed her eyes and asked, "Does Mother want to give gifts to the brothers and sisters in the family?" Bai Shi was stunned for a moment, then stretched out his index finger and nodded on Sheng Xuejian's head, and said angrily: "Why don't I know that Ah Man is still a little money fan?" Why is Ah Man reluctant? ”
"It's not that Aman is reluctant." Sheng Xue paused when she saw this, it was precisely because her mother inadvertently revealed her wealth that the Sheng family knew how rich her mother was, which made the disaster run to their mother and daughter faster. As the saying goes, Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, and it is necessary for her to let her mother know.
"I just saw that the third aunt is just carrying Dongzhu." Sheng Xue saw that she only said this, and the Bai clan immediately understood. The third brother and sister love jewelry, but the most expensive thing on the body is just as Sheng Xuejian said, it is just Dongzhu, and the worst jewelry in her treasure chest is also made of Nanzhu, and a string of Dongzhu is worth a Nanzhu. If she really gave these to the children in her family today, would she please them or anger them?
Sheng Xue saw that her mother hesitated, and added fuel to the fire: "If grandmother's things are not as good as those given by mother......" Bai was excited, didn't this slap the old lady's face? Thinking of this, Bai Shi hurriedly put down the treasure chest, and asked the nurse to pick out some large pearl chains and agate rings from the library and put them separately. Seeing that her mother did this, Sheng Xue was relieved.
Aunt Wu punished the dwarf cherry blossoms, and at this time a mother-in-law came over from the orchid garden, "Auntie, the old slave has seen clearly, those boxes are full of rich and noble things, and the old slave has never seen good things in his life!" It turned out that Aunt Wu left a few girls in the orchid garden, saying that she was helping to move things, but in fact, she wanted to explore the foundation of the Bai family. Although the Bai family brought people over, they couldn't hold too many things. This made Aunt Wu take advantage of the loophole again, and the more the mother-in-law described the wealth of the Bai family, the more Aunt Wu became red.
