After dinner in the second room.

After lunch, the family of four in the second room did not leave, and they all sat in the hall drinking tea, and they could hear the silent drop of a needle.

And Ma's face will be very ugly, every year is like this, isn't there no son, what's wrong with no son, doesn't she have a daughter, her daughter is just as good, although she thinks so, but she also knows that a family, a family like theirs can't do without a son, sooner or later the separation, if they don't have a male heir after the separation, it is equivalent to a dead end, this is not what she wants, but she has not been able to conceive all these years, and she is unwilling to let the princess take a concubine, when she thinks of the fairy-like princess hugging other women, Her heart hurt as much as a knife.

Seeing that Xianggong was drinking tea without words, Ma, who was a little better in his heart, deliberately interrupted: "Sister Lan, Sister Bin is here this morning, what is your grandmother's New Year's gift for you?" Open it up and take a look. ”

Zhou Xiaolan knew early on that her mother would not let go of the idea of looking at the contents of the box, so she didn't let Qingmei take the things back to the room, and directly asked people to take them out from the side, while Zhou Xiaobin sent the maid back to get the things.

This qiē is all in Zhou Lanxiu's eyes, alas, his wife has always been like this, the eldest daughter is exquisite, and she has already thoroughly touched his wife's behavior, not even taking things back to the room, just putting them here with her mother, just waiting to see it.

sighed slightly, fortunately, the two daughters were fine, and they were not affected by his wife's small family.

Ma Shi took the box and hurriedly opened Zhou Xiaolan's first, she had long wanted to know what kind of New Year's gift the old lady would give her daughter, after all, her daughter and the four girls were summoned by the queen's mother, and they won the first prize together at the dumpling banquet of Gongsun's family, so she thought to herself. The old lady's New Year's gift to her daughter will definitely not be bad, at least it will be better than in previous years.

Hurriedly opened, it was a set of ruby heads, with a step inlaid with broken gems, a gemstone gold hairpin, a broken gem inlay, and a twisted flower with gold as the base. There is also a pair of gemstone earrings. This is a set of four ruby heads. The gem geology is okay, but the gem is broken, but look at the logo in the box with the head. It is an object of Jade Xuan, and this set is five hundred taels to say less.

Although this set is much more valuable than in previous years, in previous years, a maximum of about 20 taels of silver was given as a New Year's gift, at most 100 taels. There has been such a valuable one, but it is too far from Zhou Xiaofu's box of jade and jade jewelry.

Why did you win the first prize? When she entered the palace to see her mother, why did her daughter only have a set of heads, the more she thought about it, the more angry Ma became, and her appearance was not outstanding. It would be a little twisted, and he stood up all at once, with obvious anger on his face. got up and was about to go out, but saw Zhou Xiaolan standing up early and pulling his mother's arm.

Zhou Xiaolan already knew in his heart that once this jewelry box was opened, it would make his mother angry. She knows her mother's character too well, her mother is just like an artillery battle, and she doesn't know how to prioritize at all, even if the fourth sister's New Year's gift is a hundred times more expensive than her, what if this grandmother gave it, why should she ask for fairness, the old man's private house is just a private house, and people can give it to whoever they want, and there is still a reason to question.

Zhou Xiaolan glanced at her father, who was already clear, I really don't know how my father came over all these years, in fact, it was not that she felt that her mother was not worthy of her father, but that her mother had been so considerate and tolerant of her over the years, no matter how considerate her father was, she was still self-styled, acting without consideration, and not thinking about things at all.

Suddenly, Zhou Xiaolan glanced at her sister who was in a daze, could it be that her sister looked like her genetic mother?

Zhou Xiaolan, who was sure of his thoughts, looked at Zhou Xiaobin, who looked innocent and didn't know why his mother was angry, and was even more sure in his heart, okay, it seems that he guessed correctly, in fact, he should have known that his sister's personality should be inherited from his mother, but he didn't want to admit it, after all, she and her sister were twins.

Ma Shi saw her daughter pulling herself, and became more and more angry, this daughter didn't know how, she was more powerful than her mother, although she had to admit that many times what her daughter said was very reasonable, but now she is for her daughter, why does her daughter still have to pull herself.

Zhou Xiaolan pulled Ma Shi and said helplessly: "Mother, what are you going to say?" ”

Ma Shi pulled a face, and when he heard his daughter's question, he immediately said in a very high voice: "What else can you ask, why does the old lady give you a different New Year's gift from the fourth girl, and why is she more valuable?" Saying that, Ma's face raised a touch of pride, hum, of course she knows how to ask, this still needs to be said.

Zhou Xiaolan helped his forehead, which was a little painful, and pulled his mother to sit down before saying slowly: "So does my mother think that my eldest sister's New Year's gift is precious or mine?" ”

Ma suddenly thought that the eldest sister got a jade Ruyi with a general color, at most a hundred taels, compared to the daughter's set of head and face is not a star and a half, thinking of this, Ma said proudly: "Of course it is your precious, that jade Ruyi is at most a hundred taels, there is this set of ruby head and face precious, although the gem is broken, but it is still a gem, or the handiwork of Cui Yuxuan, this set is five hundred taels." ”

Zhou Xiaolan looked at her mother with a smug face, do you still need to continue to talk about it, she is really helpless, Zhou Lanxiu on the side really doesn't want to care about his wife's affairs, seeing her daughter's embarrassment, she suppressed a burst of anger, and began to drink tea with a sigh of relief.

Zhou Xiaolan glanced at his helpless father out of the corner of his eyes and had to speak: "Since my mother knows, what else to look for, if I can be reasonable, my aunt has already said it, why wait until this meeting, besides, these things are bought from my grandmother's private house, and the old man can give it to whoever he wants, this is what we juniors can manage, if my mother goes, what do you think of our second room, how do you look at my father, and I thought that everyone in our family was staring at the elders' private rooms, and they would be faceless when the time came." ”

As a last resort, Zhou Xiaolan said it bluntly, and pulled out the consequences that can be caused by doing this.

Ma Shi was stunned, there are so many things that can happen when he asks, why is it different from what he originally thought, he turned his head to look at Xianggong who had no words, and then turned his head to look at his daughter, and after thinking for a long time, he felt that he was a little impulsive. Yes, my daughter's analysis is correct, but the thought of her daughter's New Year's gift is not as good as the four girls really makes people angry.

However, he didn't mention the matter of asking in the past, but sat down and drank tea for a while, and Ma's face was the same as a palette, red for a while and green for a while, so it was not ugly. Although I know that my daughter is right. couldn't hold his face, so he opened Zhou Xiaobin's box again.

Zhou Xiaobin only got a golden hairpin, which is estimated to be the lowest value New Year's gift among all the girls. Ma's face became warm and angry again, just thinking that he had done something wrong just now, and it was not good to have a seizure, so he looked up at his daughter with an indifferent look.

saw Zhou Xiaobin come over and take the box in Ma's hand. smiled and said to his mother: "Mother, this hairpin is very good." It's about the same as in previous years, don't compare, I heard my father say that for the sake of his daughter's family, my grandmother promised to give more dowry. This year's gift is already good as in previous years. ”

Ma suddenly remembered that for Zhou Xiaobin's marriage, the old lady and the old lady really worked hard to cover it up, while promising to give a good official position. On the other hand, he promised to accompany more on the dowry, and now he figured it out. His face also looked better.

Ma Shi looked at the Xianggong sitting on the left in embarrassment, looked at the daughter who was sitting down, and was suddenly a little embarrassed.

At this time, I saw Zhou Lanxiu say to the two daughters: "You go back to the house first, I have something to say to your mother." ”

Seeing that the two daughters were gone, Ma looked at the still charming husband with admiration, and was suddenly a little embarrassed to come.

But seeing Zhou Lanxiu standing up, she said lightly: "Buy a few houses that are healthy and have an innocent family background, let the child go when it is born, leave the son to go to the mother, and don't have to take a concubine." ”

Zhou Lanxiu glanced at his wife, who was still in shock, and went out of the room.

It took a while for Ma to come to his senses, tears only fell, his face was hideous, and he was about to rush out viciously, but when he walked to the door, he stood again, looked at the figure that had gone away, and fell to the ground weakly, so he heard the maid rush over and ask, Madam, what's wrong with you, what's wrong with you.

In this way, before the end of the New Year, Ma fell ill, and after asking a doctor several times, he did not get better, and the doctor said that he was depressed in his heart, and his heart was still sick.

Hearing this, Zhou Xiaolan knew that his grandmother used to mention it to his father every year and his mother would always be sick for a few days.

Straight father went to tell his grandmother that he didn't take a concubine, and after carrying all the pressure alone, his mother could get better, this time I'm afraid it won't work, I and my sister are fourteen years old, and when it comes to the age of saying that it's intimate, this family can't say that there are no heirs, especially when my mother has checked her body several times over the years, she is listening to it on the sidelines, I'm afraid that it is hopeless to get pregnant again, and she is so old. Especially this time, it was my father who proposed it himself, how can it be good?

In fact, my father is really good, he even thought of a way, left his son to his mother, and didn't even mention taking a concubine, and there was an extra concubine in the province's family, which embarrassed and embarrassed his mother. If this is a bystander's family, there will be no male heir for more than ten years, and you will be allowed to make waves here.

Zhou Xiaolan is very contradictory, one is her own childish mother, the other is a father who is extremely embarrassed, she is also a daughter who doesn't understand the difficulties of her mother, watching her beloved husband sleep with others, and she has to arrange it herself, which makes no one stand it.

Thinking of his age, he was about to say that he was going to be at a loss, if he didn't give birth to a boy one day, how would his in-laws treat him?

What does the Xiang Guild do to itself? Will he be like his father who has always refused to take concubines? Having been under pressure all the time? Thinking about these strange questions, Zhou Xiaolan quietly walked back to the room. (To be continued)
