I saw the old lady and the old man of Xifu in the front hall, and I was led to the back house by my mother-in-law.

The painter honestly outlined the characteristics of the old lady of Xifu, so much so that Jian Ying recognized her at the first glance when she entered the door.

She looked older than the portrait, in her sixties, with gray temples, thin cheeks, and a naturally mean look. Even when you laugh, the facial contours are cold and hard, making it difficult to get close to.

After seeing each other, the old lady of Xifu asked about the situation of the old lady Jian. Jian Ying answered one by one, and by the way, she gave the gift brought by Mrs. Jian, which was a box of Yuhua tea that had just been picked before the rain.

The old lady of Xifu asked the big girl next to her to accept it, and sighed to Jian Ying: "Your grandmother is noble, elegant and elegant, and she is the first to talk about tea." I'm a layman, and I don't like to drink that bitter tea soup since I was a child.

When I married into the Jian family, there were more than a dozen loads of tea in the dowry, such as Mao Feng, melon slices, yellow buds, cuilan, Huoqing, Xiaohua, and a few things that I still can't name.

Because I can't remember to drink it, I have been sitting in the storeroom, and the good tea has become old tea......"

Jian Ying noticed that the hall was much quieter, and when she swept her eyes, she saw that most of the people were staring down at the handkerchiefs in their hands, and a few of them were about to drink tea with tea cups, and they quickly put them down.

Knowing that the old lady of Xifu was going to open the prelude to the B mode, she couldn't help but complain and did something wrong, so she intercepted her words first: "I heard my grandmother say that your dowry was twice as much as her old man's."

On the way from Anhui to Jinan Mansion, anyone who has seen your wedding team, there is no one who is not envious, that is a veritable ten-mile red makeup.

Grandmother also said that you are the most generous person, and you have asked you to give away many good things in your private house. The daughter-in-law who married into the Jane family, the daughter who married into the Jane family, which one of them does not have the same thing you gave on his head? ”

The old lady of Xifu didn't expect that the old lady Jian, who had always looked down on her, would praise her behind her back, and she was quite surprised for a while. Immediately woke up again, the old thief woman of the Kim family, this is instigating her granddaughter to ask her for something.

In fact, she wronged Mrs. Jane, not to mention that the East Mansion is much richer than the West Mansion, and there is no shortage of her two kinds of makeup. Even if the East Mansion is not as good as the West Mansion, with Mrs. Jane's noble temperament, she will definitely not calculate her things.

If she thought about it carefully, she could understand that Jian Ying was talking nonsense. It's just that she is prejudiced against Old Madam Jian, and would rather believe that this was said by Old Madam Jian Ying.

Although the room full of people was not looking at her, they all pricked up their ears and waited to hear how she answered.

The heart said that she couldn't get a reputation for being stingy, and let the Kim family laugh in vain. Gritting his teeth, he instructed the big girl: "Bring me my set of fish and water heads." ”

The eldest girl was stunned for a moment, lest she make a mistake, and hurriedly confirmed: "Old lady, but that set of red gold...... Head face? ”

The old lady of Xifu nodded, "That's right, that's it." ”

The big girl was full of surprise, but she didn't dare to show it on her face. He bowed his head and said "yes", just do as he was told.

The female relatives of Xifu were excited, and their eyes unconsciously brought a little envy and jealousy to Jian Ying. You know, it's not just a set of red gold heads, but red gold heads inlaid with southern pearls.

Nanzhu is the best color of all pearls, with large grains, roundness and excellent luster. It has been listed as a tribute by the imperial court, and it is a good thing with no price.

Such a good thing, but the old lady of Xifu has two sets, which are her dowry back then. One set of butterflies chasing flowers, one set of swimming fish playing in the water. Each pearl is the size of a fingertip, and it would be nice to pick out one out of 10,000 pearls.

It is said that there are seven or eight sisters in the mother's line of the old lady of Xifu, and each sister has at least one set of such dowries when she marries. It can be seen how poor and extravagant the Lou family of the Hui merchant was back then.

As the saying goes, the richer you are, the more you pick the door, and the old lady of Xifu has absolutely nothing to do with the word "generosity". She has a private library of those good things, not to mention her daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law, even her daughter-in-law is not allowed to touch it.

The youngest aunt in Xifu was greedy for the two sets of Nanzhu head noodles for not a day or two, and when she got married, she soaked it for a month before she asked for the head noodles of the butterflies and flowers. Unexpectedly, the little girl in Dongfu said a few words, and took the other set away.

This makes them extremely unbalanced!

Jian Ying didn't expect anything to happen to the old lady of Xifu, but there were no dates to hit three poles. Looking at the expressions of everyone, you know that this trip has been earned. When I saw the golden head, my heart was even more happy.

She wasn't good at valuation, and she didn't know how much the pile was worth. What is certain is that in the original world, she may not be able to buy such a thing or two if she struggles to die.

With 50,000 taels of silver and a box of jewelry, she can live a well-off life without doing anything in her life.

Otherwise, if this man's good fortune comes, even the city walls can't stop it.

But if you take it back, 25 percent of it will be recorded on the dowry list. Once she gets on the dowry list, she can't count it as her thing.

The Jian family can steal beams and change columns at one time, and they can move flowers and trees twice. In case Xiao Liu'er comes back one day and asks for everyone to return, then wouldn't she be a bamboo basket to fetch water and be busy in vain?

The thing was given by the old lady of Xifu in the name of adding makeup, and with so many people watching, it was impossible to hide it from Dongfu. What does she have to do to turn this set of local tyrant equipment into her private property?

Thinking about this matter, the old lady of Xifu said something again, but she didn't listen to a word.

After three cups of tea, she politely refused the kindness of the old lady of Xifu to leave her for lunch, and got up to say goodbye.

The mother-in-law beside the old lady of Xifu sent her out and handed the box jewelry to Xueqin to hold.

Jian Ying didn't want to go back to the house right away, so she said that she wanted to go shopping on the street.

Mother Jiang saw that it was still early, with her and Xueqin following, and a few well-skilled nurses secretly staring, and there were many guys from the Jian family in the shops on the street, so she nodded in agreement.

Just in case, if she put forward one condition, that is, Jian Ying can't get out of the car. If you want anything, just tell them to buy it, and if you want to see the scenery, you can just sit in the car and watch it.

Geziqian Street is not far from Daming Lake, and Qushuiting Street, which is connected to Daming Lake, is very prosperous. The streets are lined with shops, everything you need to eat, play, and places to stop and drink tea and relieve boredom.

Jian Ying wasn't interested in those, she just stared at places like pawnshops and money banks.

When she found that eight or nine of the ten shops had the sign of "Brief Notes", she couldn't help but be discouraged.

Zhengjue was bored, and when he was about to tell Jiang's mother to turn around and go back, he heard a calm woman's voice outside the car, "Dare to ask if it's the sixth lady of the Jian family sitting in the car?"

The maid is the person next to Princess Ji'an, our princess is drinking tea in the teahouse in front, and I want to ask Miss Six to move over and talk about it, I wonder if Miss Six is convenient? ”
