Mrs. Yi is a little different from ordinary Mrs. Yi, with a figure of five big and three thick, if it weren't for the silk silk and jade gold hairpin lining this body, I am afraid that some people believe that it is a peasant woman who does rough work all year round. The two little ladies of the Yi family were born slim, one left and one right followed Mrs. Yi, how to look at it and how to have a sense of default.

In any case, the Xu family and the Yi family have already exchanged Geng posts, and they can barely be regarded as the sons and daughters of the Eight Classics. Now that Mrs. Yi has come to the door in person, Princess Pingtai is no longer happy, and she can't avoid it, so as not to spread the reputation of the Xu family's arrogance and domineering.

Mrs. Yi came to the door with gifts, one for Princess Pingtai, one for Xu Qijin, one for Xu Qirong, and one for Xu Qiyu. People are giving gifts like this, which naturally means that the Yi family knows how many Xu family masters there are in Osmanthus Lane. And because Mrs. Yi brought two little ladies of the same age as the girls of the Xu family to the door, Xu Qijin, Xu Qirong and Xu Qiyu naturally had to come out with Princess Pingtai to entertain guests.

Although Xu Qiyu is confined in the West Wing to copy scriptures these days, the maid Liu'er next to her is a good person, and she inquires about what is lively, so what is happening these days, Xu Qiyu is clear in her heart.

Although she understood that Princess Pingtai was not very happy with the Yi family, when facing Mrs. Yi, Xu Qiyu still stood beside Princess Pingtai obediently and skillfully, without showing the slightest joy or disgust.

Xu Qirong couldn't speak, so he kept hiding behind Xu Qijin and pretending to be timid.

,

The two little ladies of the Yi family brought by Mrs. Yi, one is called Yi Xianghan and the other is called Yi Shuiman. Although his appearance is mediocre, he has a good posture, and his actions are full of dignified and virtuous style. Mrs. Yi introduced the Xu family to the side. Yi Xianghan and Yi Shuiman saluted Princess Pingtai with a smile and showed favor to the girls of the Xu family.

Finally got into the seat, Princess Pingtai was about to let the maids serve tea, and Mrs. Yi suddenly got up. Xu Qirong had been observing the Yi family, and she noticed that the moment Mrs. Yi got up, Yi Xianghan seemed to be pulling her. I didn't think I could hold it, so I retracted my hand again.

Yi Xianghan noticed Xu Qirong's gaze and was stunned for a moment. Then he changed his smiling face and nodded at Xu Qirong friendly.

Xu Qirong's fingers unconsciously pulled on Xu Qijin's sleeves, and the good silk brocade was scratched out of the raw edge by her fingernails. She couldn't figure out what the Yi family meant.

At this moment, Mrs. Yi spoke. First, he commanded the maid he had brought: "Go and bring everything in!" ”

Princess Pingtai looked at Mrs. Yi with an uncertain expression.

Mrs. Yi smiled and explained, "It's all gadgets. It's not worth a few dollars, the old lady and the sisters take it and play with it! ”

Xu Qirong suddenly realized that Mrs. Yi was going to bring the gift to them in front of everyone and send it again! I couldn't help but be surprised, could it be that the Yi family was so attentive and bothered to find something terrible?

Generally speaking, if a guest offers to give another gift in front of everyone, the gift will either be priceless. Either it is rare and difficult to find, or it is very sure that what you send can win the favor of the owner's family.

Then. Yi Shuiman opened his mouth and said to Mrs. Yi: "Uncle, before we leave, the old lady and the young ladies of the Xu family will naturally know what gifts we are giving." What kind of character is the old lady, she has seen a lot of things, let's not put things out and be embarrassed! ”

"Who said it was embarrassing," Mrs. Yi blocked Yi Shuiman's words back in one sentence, "What is the difference between knowing early and knowing late, and being happy early if you know early!" ”

At this time, not only Xu Qirong, but even Princess Pingtai was a little curious about what the Yi family had given them.

Mama Gui opened her mouth and said with a smile: "What Mrs. Yi gave is naturally excellent." ”

When Mrs. Yi heard this, her eyes immediately revealed a sense of pride, and her face was also undisguised. Princess Pintai couldn't help frowning.

Then I saw that the maid who had followed Mrs. Yi before led four little maids in, one of whom was holding a sandalwood carved box in his hand, and it looked like it was not light.

Mrs. Yi raised her feet and was about to move closer to the box, Xu Qirong noticed that Yi Xianghan was going to pull Mrs. Yi again, but she was a step too late. This time, Yi Xianghan was not as casual as before, and his expression revealed a trace of embarrassment and helplessness.

Everyone in the Xu family looked at the box held by the little maids with great interest, and Mrs. Yi personally opened a box, which was a half-box of pearls, some large and some small, some oval and some round.

Everyone in the Xu family was choked.

Mrs. Yi said proudly: "This is a genuine South China Sea pearl, the pearl diver personally went to the sea to collect it, whether it is color or hardness, it is excellent." Miss Xu Wu can take it to inlay beaded flowers and make necklaces. Such a box is not cheap, one is more than a dozen taels of silver. The Xu family married the Yi family, and they will be a family in the future. This thing is only willing to give it to the family. ”

After speaking, he motioned to the little maid holding half a box of pearls to send it in the direction of Xu Qirong, Qiu Nong took it with an embarrassed face, and then thanked him with an embarrassed face.

But I muttered in my heart, this half box of pearls is large and small, and the shape is very different, and it can be ground into pearl powder and mixed with balm to wipe your hands. I don't know how many times better than this is the box of pearls that my girl brought back from Yangzhou before, and the girl is not playing with it when she is idle.

Over there, Mrs. Yi opened the second box, which was still a pearl, but it was less than Xu Qirong's box. Mrs. Yi said with a smile: "This box is for Miss Xu Si, I see that Miss Xu Si has white skin, and it should look particularly good when she puts on pearl earrings." ”

Xu Qiyu was so angry that she almost didn't take a breath and hiccuped, the earrings on her ears were ground by the best jade, at least two hundred taels for a pair. This time, she "replaced" Xu Qiyun to fulfill her filial piety to Princess Pingtai, and Mrs. Qiao quietly called her over to reward her. After wearing it, almost everyone who has seen it compliments it on its good looks.

Liu'er took the box like Qiu Nong, and then thanked him.

Xu Qiyu glanced at it, and sure enough, it was less than Xu Qirong's box, and said in his heart that this Mrs. Yi is really not enough to be on the stage, just these things, so I specially took them out and introduced them one by one!

After thinking about it, Mrs. Yi, who was not on the stage, would be Xu Qijin's mother-in-law in the future, and Xu Qiyu's mood instantly became much more relaxed.

Mrs. Yi opened the third box again, and when she saw most of the pearls in the box, even Princess Pingtai looked at Mrs. Yi with a look of incomprehension. Turning his head to look at Yi Xianghan and Yi Shuiman, both of them looked helpless and embarrassed.

This box was given to Xu Qijin, more than it was given to Xu Qirong, but it was still those pearls. After Mrs. Yi was proud, Yu Qiu took over the box from the little maid like Qiu Nong and Liu'er. However, compared to Qiu Nong and Liu'er, Yu Qiu had already eased up, and his thanks were very smooth.

When Mrs. Yi's hand reached over to the fourth box, Xu Qirong had a bad premonition in her heart. Almost immediately, this bad premonition was verified. The last box was filled with a box full of pearls.

Apparently for Princess Pintae.

To say that these pearls are indeed genuine South Sea pearls, they are much more expensive than ordinary pearls. Whether these four boxes of pearls are full or not, they add up to a lot of them. According to the market price, it is also two thousand taels of silver. It's more than twice as much as Master Xu's annual salary. In this respect, the Yi family is indeed quite generous.

However, with the current relationship between the Xu family and the Yi family, sending a lot of pearls is not like a show of goodwill, but like a show off of wealth. Especially Mrs. Yi's singing and fighting, Princess Pingtai held back a trace of anger under her cold look. The silver carp took the box from the little maid's hand, and she didn't even look at it.

At this time, Mrs. Yi said with a shy face: "The marriage between my son and Sister Jin, old lady, you see, when is it better?" ”

Princess Pingtai raised her eyebrows angrily, how could she discuss the marriage date in front of a room of little ladies! was about to speak, but he was blocked by Mrs. Yi's crackling words again.

Mrs. Yi walked up to Xu Qijin in a few steps, took her hand, and said with an excited expression: "My son, it's not that I boast, there are few people in the entire Jiangzhou City who don't say good." Sister Jin'er is excellent in appearance, talent, and knowledge, and she is a little wronged when she marries into my family. But I will treat Sister Jin as my daughter, as soon as Sister Jin passes through the door and is in charge of the brand of the feed, I will hand it over to Sister Jin. There are a few shops in the city, and there are a few Zhuangzi outside the city, and I have brought the deed and title deed, old lady, you have seen it, and when the time comes, it will be under the name of Sister Jin'er......"

At this moment, everyone's faces were ugly, and even Xu Qijin regretted a little in his heart that he had indiscriminately agreed to the Yi family's proposal.

With such a mother, Yi Tongchi, I don't know what virtue it is!

Princess Pingtai still let her continue, and immediately said angrily: "Shut up! ”

Mrs. Yi was stunned.

Taking advantage of Mrs. Yi's stunned efforts, Yi Xianghan and Yi Shuiman hurriedly and sincerely stepped forward to apologize and say good things, explaining that their eldest aunt was just straight and had no malicious intentions.

The weather was very refreshing, and the two little ladies were sweating in a hurry.

Princess Pingtai sighed and asked Mama Gui to see her off.

Mama Gui said to Mrs. Yi with a smile on her face: "Your Highness's time to worship the Buddha has arrived, so I won't chat with Mrs. this time." After a few days of leisure, I went to visit Madame. ”

Xu Qirong thought that Princess Pingtai was so angry, Mrs. Yi would definitely not be able to hold it on her face, who knew that Mrs. Yi was still grinning, and actually took Mama Gui's words seriously, and sincerely invited Princess Pingtai to go to Yi's house as soon as possible.

Now Xu Qirong can see that this Mrs. Yi is indeed lacking in her brain! That smile, how honest you look at it now. Glancing at Yi Xianghan and Yi Shuiman, who were busy cleaning up the mess for Mrs. Yi, Xu Qirong immediately understood their mission with Mrs. Yi. (To be continued......) R1292
