"What did Mother say?"

Mengbao had a light smile on his lips and looked at Li lightly.

Li Shi looked at this smile, and felt that there was some mockery in it, and his heart was unnaturally a little more angry and embarrassed.

"I told you to be restrained and not too extravagant. Our Dingnan Hou Mansion is a big family, you are the wife of our Hou Mansion, and your words and deeds naturally represent our Hou Mansion. Dressed in such a luxurious way, those who don't know think that our Dingnanhou Mansion is the home of businessmen who like to show off. ”

"Mother is saying that my dress is too extravagant?"

Li Shi secretly rolled his eyes: "You know whether you are extravagant or not." ”

"The daughter-in-law just doesn't know, that's why she asked her mother," Mengbao said innocently, "Although the material of this dress is good, it is not a rare thing, and many ladies and ladies of the big families in Beijing and even in Bei'an are used to wearing such clothes." ”

"As for jewelry," Mengbao reached out and touched the ruby hairpin on his head, "although the material of my daughter-in-law's headdress is indeed more expensive, it is not regarded as extravagant. ”

She said and stretched out her hand to reveal her empty wrist: "What's more, my daughter-in-law has never liked bracelets, and she has never had any other jewelry on her hands." In this way, the daughter-in-law used the silver money to buy the bracelet to buy some good headdresses, but it was more economical, so the daughter-in-law really didn't know what her mother meant by extravagance. ”

Li Shi was speechless with his eyes choked, and Shen Yurong on the side hurriedly interjected: "Sister-in-law's clothes are not only made of good materials, but also embroidered." At first glance, it is from the hand of Jiangcheng embroidery. There is also the headdress of the sister-in-law, the style is even more wonderful, and it is an extraordinary product at a glance, and it must be a new pattern in Beijing. ”

"It's fine if it's just one or two, but I've heard that my sister-in-law has several boxes of such things. In this way, does the sister-in-law still want to say that her dress is not extravagant? ”

Meng Bao sneered and laughed: "Then according to the meaning of the sixth sister, this good clothing must be thick needles and thick threads, and it is only right that precious gems must be rough and polished?" Isn't that extravagant? ”

"You...... That was not what I meant! Sister-in-law, you don't have to talk about him here, what I'm talking about now is that you are acting too flamboyantly. You ......"

"Presumptuous!"

Meng Bao slapped his palm on the table. Everyone in the room was shocked.

Li was originally picking up the teacup to drink tea, but when he heard this, he choked in fright, and squirted out a mouthful of tea.

Mengbao didn't seem to see it at all. glared at Shen Yurong and said, "The sixth sister is also the best lady in my Dingnanhou Mansion. The daughter of the mother's knees. How can you act so perversely! I am your sister-in-law, and I am the wife of the prince of this Hou Mansion, and I talk to my mother. When there's room for you to interject. Open your mouth and shut your mouth to accuse your sister-in-law of acting flamboyantly, is this how the grandmother around you raised you! ”

Who doesn't know that Shen Yurong used to be a concubine, and she was never raised by her grandmother, and later became a concubine with Li's Fuzheng, but she also fished for three days and dried nets for two days, and she didn't have much time to be raised. Mengbao's words were obviously a slap in the face of Li, saying that she herself had not brought up her daughter well.

Where did Shen Yurong expect Mengbao to dare to reprimand her like this in front of the Li family, her eyes widened for a while, her face was full of disbelief, and it took a while to come back to her senses, her face flushed with shame, and tears of humiliation suddenly welled up in her eyes.

"Mother!"

She shook Lee's arm aggrievedly.

Li had just choked on the tea, and finally got his breath, and was almost shaken by her and fainted.

"That's it!"

She frowned lightly, brushed Shen Yurong's hand down, lest she shake herself again, and then turned her head to look at Mengbao, "Your sister is also anxious for you, I'm afraid that you will lose your proportion, why do you shout at her like this, it frightens her." ”

"Mother's words are wrong, the sixth sister is now in order, but she still doesn't know how to grow up in order. If you can be disrespectful to me in the house today, you will be disrespectful to others in the future. If she is still young, she can teach slowly, but seeing that she has reached the age of saying goodbye, if she still wants to take her time, I am afraid it will be too late. ”

"You ......"

Shen Yurong trembled angrily: "Are you saying that I can't get married!" ”

Mengbao frowned: "When did I say such a thing?" How could the sixth sister misinterpret me like this? ”

"That's what you mean!"

"Mother, look at her ......"

"That's it!"

Lee slapped the table hard.

She can see that this Su Mengbao is not a good stubble in the first place, and when she comes back from the capital this time, she is even more domineering! How dare she teach her daughter in front of her in her house!

So is Rong'er! Originally, I asked her to stay here to let her help, why was she so unbreathable, and before she could say a word, she let others seize the handle first!

Li Shi looked at his daughter's aggrieved look, and then looked at Mengbao who was sitting there with a light smile on his face, and he was angry: "Although your sister is at fault, it is also your sister-in-law's fault that made people seize the handle first." If you weren't extravagant, how would others say anything about you, not yourself......"

"So the daughter-in-law has been asking her mother, where is the daughter-in-law acting extravagantly?" Mengbao interrupted.

Li's eyebrows sank: "Isn't what Rong'er just said wrong?" Isn't the needlework of your clothes from Jiangcheng embroidery? Isn't your hairpin a new style specially created by a famous artist? Do you have several boxes of such things? ”

Mengbao chuckled: "Yes, so what?" ”

So what?

Li almost couldn't help but throw the teacup in his hand.

"In that case, then your sister is not wronged against you! What are you quibbling! ”

"Dare to ask my mother, have I ever used a penny of silver in the public for these things?"

Silver? Naturally, how could she let Su Mengbao take the silver from the public to buy clothes and jewelry. Even if you want to give it, it's for Rong'er.

"No, but Azhu's silver is not for nothing. Although he was not required to return all the money he earned, he should not have spent so lavishly. As his wife, you should be more considerate of his hard work, how can you be so extravagant with these external things, and add some burden to him in vain. ”

Mengbao laughed again: "Where did my mother hear that Ah Zhu bought these things for me?" ”

Li Shi was stunned for a moment, and then became furious: "It wasn't he who bought it for you, could it be that you received the benefits outside in the name of Azhu?" ”

"Ha ......"

Mengbao almost laughed and bent over.

In the exchanges between the female relatives of the family, it is possible to send some jewelry, but how can it be possible to give clothes frequently? Isn't it possible to laugh at the other party for not being able to afford even a good set of clothes?

Li came back to his senses and found that what he had just said was too petty, and he was even more embarrassed for a while.

"Tell me about it! How the hell did you get all these clothes and jewelry? She said angrily.

Mengbao straightened up and resumed her appearance of sitting upright and smiling: "My daughter-in-law bought it herself." ”

Bah!

Li snorted in his heart.

What I bought myself, it's not that I took Azhu's silver and squandered it at will!

Ah Zhu is the prince of Dingnan Hou Mansion, although he does not need to return all his own money to Gongzhong, but to put it bluntly, he is not from Dingnan Hou Mansion in the end! This Su Mengbao really doesn't treat himself as an outsider, and he is so arrogant when he takes Azhu's silver!

"Your silver is not Azhu's silver yet, what's the difference!" She gritted her teeth.

Mengbao blinked and thought about it seriously: "Husband and wife are one, so to put it mildly, my mother's words are not wrong, my silver is Azhu's silver." ”

Li snorted, and just as he wanted to say something, he heard Mengbao continue: "But...... It's okay for the mother to tell her daughter-in-law this, but don't tell Ah Zhu or grandmother. ”

Scared now? It's late! Li said in his heart, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.

"Or else...... It's not good for them to misunderstand their mother, thinking that they are accusing Ah Zhu of coveting my dowry. Meng Bao finished his previous words.

Li choked on the tea again and coughed violently.

"You...... What did you say? ”

Before she could clear her breath, she asked with a gasp.

"I said that I bought those things with my dowry, and my mother just said that mine is Azhu's, which is true, but Azhu is a man after all, and I'm afraid I don't like this kind of coveting his wife's dowry, so my mother should not let him and his grandmother know about it."

Bah!

Li Shi smacked fiercely again in his heart, and pointed at her with trembling arms: "Impossible!" You didn't take the dowry with you when you left Bei'an! Where did the dowry come out of the interest to buy these! ”

Mengbao blinked innocently again: "In addition to the ones on the list, my dowry also has the silver taels that were secretly left behind when my mother died. The silver taels were not written on the list, and they were handed over to Zhao's mother for personal safekeeping. Last time, I left Bei'an in a hurry, and I didn't have time to bring anything with me, so Zhao's mother took out the silver. ”

Li was stunned, and then laughed in his heart.

It is true that some parents will secretly give their daughters some private money when their daughters get married, in addition to the things on the dowry list, but how can they say it in public like this if they don't have the things on the list?

There is no list, there is no evidence, there is no evidence, just by her Su Mengbao and a subordinate, she can count? Joke!

This Su Mengbao is really a fool, he can even say such a thing! Even if it is reasonable, it becomes unreasonable!

Li sneered: "These words were taught to you by Azhu, right?" In order to prevent you from being punished by us for acting extravagantly, we teach you this? ”

"Mother said this, Ah Zhu is a man, and he is an official of the imperial court, he has his own things to do, how can he care about these trivial things, and how can he have the kung fu to help me take care of the shops in the capital."

Shop?

A shop in the capital?

Lee's body stiffened, and he almost bit his tongue.
