Chapter 203: Whose Fault?
Although Shen's words were very straightforward, the Liu family and the Yang family were still self-conscious and were considering their words.
The Wu family was different, she smiled lightly and said to the Shen family, "The third sister-in-law is reasonable, they are all a family, if you have something to say, then I will first say the purpose of this visit." ”
"The fourth brother and sister are right, please speak." Shen smiled and bowed his head.
"Third sister-in-law, I won't tell you anything, we came here to ask you what gift you are going to give to Miss Furong." Wu said.
"Poof." Shen covered his mouth and smiled.
"Third brother and sister, what are you laughing at? Could it be that the fourth brother and sister said the wrong thing? Liu asked puzzled, his face slightly pale.
"No, no." Shen Shi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I just didn't expect that a few of us would have the same heart, and I just said that I was going to go to you, but in fact, it was for this matter." ”
"Ah, then we really thought of it together, what are you going to send three brothers and sisters?" Liu was surprised, but there was already a smile on his face.
In the past, they never asked what the Shen family sent, and they all did it according to their own abilities.
But this time is different, looking at the father-in-law's care about Miss Furong, if this gift is not given properly, the final result is very likely to be unflattering with money.
Among the four concubines, the Shen family is the richest, she is generous, the gifts prepared this time will be more expensive than in the past, and their gifts will be unsightly at that time, and her father-in-law will definitely scold them for not paying attention to Furong.
In order not to be scolded, they had to know in advance what the Shen family was preparing, and it was very likely that they would not reach such a level. But it can't be too different, so that the father-in-law will not be too picky.
The Liu family now listens to the Shen family's tone, and this gift is to get closer to them. If that's the case, it couldn't be better, everyone is the same, so that the father-in-law is impeccable.
Shen Shi looked at the three concubines and said, "Don't you want to discuss with the two sisters-in-law and the four siblings, what are you going to do?" ”
Wu said. "Third sister-in-law, if you are not afraid of your jokes, I am short of money. I can't take out anything decent and valuable, but my father-in-law's temper ...... Alas, I'm afraid that I'll be scolded if it's too shabby. ”
Although Liu and Yang did not speak, they also showed similar expressions on their faces.
Shen immediately understood what they meant.
They don't want to give valuables. But I was worried that she would give them too expensive and let them be scolded.
She sighed. said, "Alas, don't hide it from my sister-in-law, second sister-in-law and fourth brother and sister, I've been nervous recently, and I'm also weak, otherwise how can I be worried, if my father-in-law has to scold, I can't do it." ”
Yang said immediately. "We all did our best, and my father-in-law wanted to scold him. We don't have the ability to turn stones into gold. ”
"The second brother and sister are right, our ability is limited." Liu let out a long sigh of relief.
In the end, the four of them discussed the gifts to give.
After the discussion, the Wu family was worried that the Liu family would change their hexagrams, so they said, "The eldest sister-in-law, the second sister-in-law, and the third sister-in-law, we have discussed it, and no one is allowed to change, otherwise it will be a failure." ”
"Yes, no one can change what has been discussed, otherwise there will be no contact in the future." Shen said solemnly.
Liu and Yang also said similar things.
After discussing it, they went back to their respective courtyards to prepare for the ceremony.
When the gift was set, Shen also breathed a long sigh of relief, what she prepared was a pair of silver bracelets.
On weekdays, she would definitely give a pair of sixteen pieces of red gold jewelry, but now she saves it.
After dinner, when the husband and wife were gossiping, Qi Zhengzhi asked about giving Hibiscus gifts.
Shen showed him the bracelet.
Qi Zhengzhi looked at it and asked, "Hui Niang, let's send this?" Nothing to do? ”
"yes, what's wrong?" Shen's eyebrows raised slightly.
"This ...... Wouldn't it be too shabby? Qi Zhengzhi asked cautiously.
He remembered that the gifts that Huiniang gave to Lian'er in the past were either red gold and gemstones, or high-quality jade ornaments, and he had never seen silver ornaments.
"Shabby?" Shen smiled lightly, "If the master thinks it is shabby, he can prepare another copy himself, so that even if it is shabby, it will not hurt the lord's dignity." ”
With that, she took the gift and went back to the inner room, not even wanting to eat.
In fact, she wanted to ask him how many pieces of jewelry he could buy with the silver he earned in a month, but she finally swallowed back, which was a bit hurtful, and she didn't want to hurt people's hearts easily.
Hui Niang has changed!
Qi Zhengzhi looked at Shen's back, lowered his eyes and sighed in his heart.
But even if he disliked the shabby gift of the Shen family, he didn't prepare anything else, he knew in his heart that if he really did this, the distance between him and the Shen family would be further and further, and eventually he would not be able to come back.
Why did Hui Niang and I become like this?
I remember that in the past, our husband and wife were loving and harmonious, and the days were like sugar in honey every day, and they were so happy that others envied them, as if since Miao'er came back, Huiniang has become more and more cold to me, and all my thoughts are on Miao'er.
And Miao'er has a deep prejudice against me, always thinking that I am not a good father, and Miao'er must have said a lot of bad things about me in front of Huiniang.
Hui Niang was convinced of what Miao'er said, so she became dissatisfied with me, no matter what I said or did, it was all wrong, and it became useless in her eyes.
Alas, Hui Niang has always felt guilty about Miao'er, and she can't wait to give Miao'er all the best things, but she doesn't know that this is harming Miao'er.
After some careful consideration, Qi Zhengzhi believed that the main reason for the problem between him and the Shen family was Qi Miao, which was instigated by Qi Miao.
So he went to find Qi Miao.
Seeing that his father came to Mingyue Pavilion on purpose, Qi Miao had a gut feeling that nothing good would happen.
Because he came to Mingyue Pavilion several times, they were all here to reprimand her.
"Father, please take a seat." Qi Miao invited him to take a seat, lowered his eyes and did not speak, waiting for him to speak.
Qi Zhengzhi was considering his words, and the atmosphere in the room was a little frozen for a while.
His daughter's alienated attitude made him even more displeased, and he cleared his throat and said, "Miao'er, I came here today to tell you a few words, I hope you can listen carefully." ”
"Father, please." Qi Miao looked at her father with a very respectful attitude.
"Miao'er, the most important thing for a child is filial piety, and filial piety is not only to listen to your parents, follow your parents, take care of your parents, but also find a way to maintain the relationship between your parents, not to sow discord...... Qi Zhengzhi said to Qi Miao very seriously.
He said a lot, Qi Miao didn't remember all the content, but understood the meaning of his words.
The stiff relationship between him and his mother is all caused by her being a daughter, she is the culprit, not his fault, she is an unfilial daughter.
"Miao'er, you understand what I said?" After Qi Zhengzhi finished speaking, seeing Qi Miao's calm face, he couldn't help but wonder if she was listening to him. (To be continued.) )
