The banquet in the upper room has not yet dispersed, the men are still playing fists and drinking, and Old Man Chen is extremely happy, and his face is full of red light.

Mrs. Chen opened the curtain and took a look, and secretly scolded in her heart and went back to the house, at this time she hated the Li family in her heart, in the past, the whole family ate together, if she didn't attend, which daughter-in-law dared to open the banquet, now she dared, relying on a few silver in her hand to take Qiao. She glanced at the north wing through the curtain, and said hatefully, no matter what, I occupy the name of my mother-in-law, and you look at my methods.

Wen Yan and Zhang's were quietly lined up for a while, and they retreated from the north wing, and before leaving, they kicked all the fruits on the table in their arms, and when they entered the upper room, they saw Mrs. Chen lying on the bed humming, and the good meat and vegetables on the table did not move.

"Mother, why don't you eat this meat dish, if you don't eat it, I'll take it, and keep it ∫∫∫for us to eat at night∞." Zhang lifted the elbow in the big bowl with her hand, swallowing her saliva, if it weren't for the stuffing of her stomach, she would have eaten the oily elbow too.

Mrs. Chen was angry in her heart, she was not only dissatisfied with the Li family, but also dissatisfied with the Zhang family and the Cai family, these two people were her own daughters-in-law, but they were not on her side, and when they saw that she did not go to the banquet, they didn't know how to invite her.

Zhang happened to be standing on the muzzle of the gun, and her words made Mrs. Chen's heart explode a little: "You can only eat is eat, what else can you do." The fourth daughter-in-law, you are so greedy, you ran to the big house, do you still have me as a mother-in-law in your heart? ”

Zhang has developed a skill of listening to old lady Chen, and he is dissatisfied at this time. He didn't dare to open his mouth to refute, and stood upright. Mrs. Chen was angry when she saw it: "Look at you, you are also from the big house." On weekdays, you are lazy and greedy, let you do some work, you push back and block, how can you run faster than a rabbit when you say that you eat, what benefits does the big house give you, you leave me to eat there. ”

Zhang still didn't dare to speak, lowered his head and didn't say anything, and the flesh of the fruit in his arms hurt.

"Alright. I'm annoyed when I see you, hurry up and go out, I'll talk to Wen Yan here. Mrs. Chen waved her hand.

Zhang's amnesty. He took the bowl on the table and left.

Wen Yan sat on the edge of the bed, and Mrs. Chen placed the melon seeds and fruits on the table in front of her, and rubbed her back with her hands as if she was a girl who had not left the cabinet. Wen Yan picked up the peach crisp in the fruit bowl and ate it. She is the youngest daughter of the Chen family. The old man Chen, who has always been careless to the child, knows how to bring her a bag of fruit when she goes out, it stands to reason that she has eaten all the food in Baitu Town, and she should not be so greedy, but she is like suffering from gluttony, her mouth is always chewing, and she feels uncomfortable if she doesn't eat snacks for a while. She had to carry a bag of beans in her pocket at all times.

"How's the table going today?" Mrs. Chen looked extremely kind and kind in front of her daughter.

"It's not like that, it's much better than the average table." Wen Yan explained the dishes, soups, pastries, and wine on the table one by one. Finally, he concluded, "Although it is good, it is not as good as their current money, I heard the fourth sister-in-law say that the banquet is called a medium seat, far inferior to the first-class seat, I heard that the big house is now soaked in bird's nest in the porridge, why don't you give it to us to eat, eat some ordinary meat dishes, but the taste is more fragrant than what we often make." “

"I said, Dafang is so kind." Old Madam Chen pursed her lips, "This table should also be prepared by them." ”

After eating the peach cake, Wen Yan began to knock melon seeds, and said while snorting: "Give me a silver hairpin, a satin, and four-color fruit as a return gift." ”

The gift she gave to the big house was a pound of croissant honey, a pound of honey and three knives, and it was not bought in Xiangfu Building, but in the scattered shop, Wen Yan didn't want to complain about his own festival and only complained about the small amount of the big house, and said aggrievedly: "Sister-in-law is really, she gave a satin last year, and she became stingy when she got rich this year, by the way, mother, didn't you say that the big house wanted to give me a golden crown?" What a golden crown, only gave a silver hairpin, I went to her room to see that in the box, there were many gold and silver, round and flat, just give me one is better than a hairpin. ”

In a fit of rage, he plucked the hairpin off his head and threw it on the bed.

After listening to her daughter's story, Mrs. Chen felt distressed, she told the boss yesterday, but she has changed now.

She wanted to find Chen Xiucai to come in and talk, but the banquet outside had not dispersed, she was in the way of face, and she didn't dare to make trouble now, so she had to comfort her daughter: "Don't worry, when the banquet is dispersed, I'm asking for it like the boss." ”

"What do they honor you?" Wen Yan pinched the melon seeds and chirped crookedly, "I see that there are several big boxes in their house, maybe they are all gold and silver treasures, and my sister-in-law is afraid that I will open it and follow me step by step." I went to Xue Jiao Xueru's room, how old are they, they are more decent than Xue Miao, even Jing Hao is the same as Jing Hao, Sister Chun is not the same niece as Jing Hao, and I don't see my sister-in-law giving Sister Chun a few headdresses. ”

When it came to the things that went to the room to honor herself, Mrs. Chen was full of displeasure. It's not that the filial piety in the upper room is not good, but the valuable things are honored on the head of the old man Chen, she just got the pollen tonic satin, she went out two days ago, but I heard that the big house pulled a big cart for the things of the mother's family, and I heard that there were two pearls on the forehead of the old lady Li.

Seeing that the two big Buddhas of Wen Yan and Zhang went to the upper room, Li breathed a sigh of relief, pulled Wen Ying into the house, and checked out the gift given to her.

Two fine satins, one Shu brocade and one Su silk, Wen Ying hurriedly shook her hand: "This satin is so good, where can we wear it." ”

"What can't be worn, you cut clothes for the big girl and yourself with this Shu brocade, and this Su silk makes clothes, shoes and socks for your brother-in-law and Dongping." Lee wrapped the satin in his baggage.

"Auntie, and these jewelry." Xue Jiao came out with a box, which contained gold lilac earrings, silver collars, gold hairpins, bracelets, and crooked eyes, "Auntie, don't be too little, it's all for the big girl and aunt." ”

Wen Ying was about to excuse herself, but Xue Jiao restrained her smile and said, "Auntie, you and your father are the same mother's compatriots, if you see us outside, wouldn't it hurt your father's heart." My aunt is my father's own sister, and when there are difficulties in the family, you will help us, and we all remember it. ”

Xue Ru followed to help: "Auntie." You usually give me and Xuejiao's clothes, shoes and socks, and we don't shirk it, because we know it's my aunt. Taking my aunt's things is the same as taking my own things, and my aunt has to think the same now. ”

Wen Ying's eyes turned red: "Good niece, I'll take it." ”

The big girl saw that there was a delicate droplet-like silver hairpin in the box, and stepped forward to take it in her hand.

"The yarn flower on the girl's head is weird and beautiful." Li praised.

"My father bought this flower." The big girl pointed to the gauze flower on her head, and said to Xue Jiao as if she remembered something. "The three pairs that were given to you before eating, hurry up and bring them to Sister Xueru and Sister Jinghao, let's wear them together."

Xue Jiao smiled and went to get the flowers.

"My brother-in-law really loves my daughter." Lee laughed.

Moon Young's face was full of smiles. She was full of joy in her heart, and when she heard Li say this, she smiled even more happily: "No, I went to Xuzhou Mansion for a trip." A box of six flowers. I said it was too expensive, but he was not happy, saying that our daughter did not wear gold and silver, and what happened to a few flowers. ”

Li laughed: "No, my brother-in-law loves his daughter as much as your brother, you look at the satin and jewelry he brought from the south, most of them are as delicate as snow, and I don't want to think about our countryside." How do you work in your clothes? ”

Li is simple-minded, and never thought that a rich lady would not have to work.

Xue Jiao took the flowers. Xue Rujing wiped two sticks per person and wore them. Li and Wen Ying's sister-in-law muttered and talked privately, and after talking for a while, the two got up and went to the pot house.

Shi was squatting in the pot house to eat leftovers, there were not many vegetables left, all leftover soup and water, he poured it into a bowl and took steamed buns and dipped them in soup to eat. Li couldn't see it, so he asked him to fry two dishes, and when he saw that there was no meat in the house, he thought about it and gave him a string of money to buy food in the town, and by the way, he was cutting some meat. Shi went to the town and bought a few big meat buns to fill his stomach, thinking that the roasted wheat that Xue Jiao asked him to keep was all sandwiched by Zhang's without looking at it, and after cutting the meat, he turned to Qingfengzhuang and asked for two baskets of roasted wheat.

When I got home, I quietly called Xue Jiao and handed the roasted wheat into the house.

went to the well to carry water, and saw that Xue Miao's maid had red circles under her eyes, and lowered her head to brush her shoes. "I've brushed these shoes three times, so why don't you brush them again." The stone was surprised.

The maid has been brushing from eating to now, and it has always been this pair of shoes.

"Miss is not satisfied." The maid's voice was choked.

"Have you eaten?" Stone asked.

"Nope." The maid shook her head, tears scattered.

They are all subordinates, and there is compassion in the heart of the stone, although the subordinates must obey the master unconditionally, but the master called Xue Miao is too mean.

Xue Jiao happened to see this scene through the window in the room, beckoned to the stone, and took out a basket of roasted wheat: "If you give this to her, I won't be able to eat it." ”

is still her own lady is kind-hearted, the stone thanked Xue Jiao, turned around and left.

"Take her aside to eat." Xue Jiao looked at the upper room.

The stone nodded, went to the well, and handed the roasted wheat to the maid, who did not dare to take it at first, and finally could not stand the hunger, so she took the roasted wheat and hid in a secluded place to eat.

Xue Jiao saw the girl's submissive appearance, sighed in her heart, and secretly congratulated herself that she had not crossed into a subordinate.

"I thought that I would become a lady after I went to Xuzhou Mansion, and I brought a maid to show off my might." The big girl said disdainfully.

"That girl is so pitiful, she will kneel when she says she will kneel, and it hurts to look at it." Quietly sigh while drawing flowers.

"In the past, Sister Xueyao went to Dingfu, and every time she came back, she wore gold and silver, and many families in our village also wanted their daughters to go to big families to be maids, and my grandmother also wanted me to go, but my mother said that it was all outside scenery, which maid was not angry, and she would not let me go." Xue Ru sighed at the beginning.

"In the future, our family will get better and better, and there will be maids, but you can't learn from such mean people." Xue Jiao thought about it later.

As the sisters were sighing, they heard Qi An's voice, as if speaking to Li and Wenying: "...... My uncle drank a little too much, so I let the stone make the soup. ”

"Where's your father?" Lee asked.

"I was called by my grandmother to talk about something." Qi An said.

was called by Mrs. Chen, Chen Xuejiao frowned, what are you asking Chen Xiucai to do now, it must be to ask Wen Yan for the golden crown, I didn't see the disappointment on her face when she held the silver hairpin just now.

Chen Xuejiao thought about it, didn't hold back, stood up and went to the upper room. (To be continued......)
