Inside Xiao Chen's mansion, the grandmother who went to deliver something to Mei Ying was reporting to the Bai family with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes.

While drinking tea, Bai Shi asked, "You mean, when you went, you happened to hear that Mrs. Mei didn't want to entertain the Mei family's clansmen to live at home?" ”

The grandmother immediately said, "The slave and maid overheard it." It's not like listening to the corner. It's just that the Mei family is too cramped, the inner courtyard is so big, standing in front of the main house, the voice of the main room can be heard clearly. Mrs. May said that the family was too narrow to accommodate people from the tribe. ”

Bai sneered and said, "It's really done." There are people in this clan, even if the family is narrow, can't you invite people from the clan to stay in the inn? It's just a waste of a few dollars. How many people in the capital have come over like this, but her eyes are small, and she loses +▼ at all, and she refuses to eat. The main thing is that the people in the Qi clan are taking care of the dowry for their stepdaughter, right? If her own daughter marries, she may be thankful for others. ”

The grandmother smiled and laughed.

Bai asked, "After you sent things later, did you meet those people from the Mei family?" It's all women, right? ”

The grandmother said: "I asked before, the Mei family came to the three-room family, and they were all husbands and wives with children. I'm going to stay in the capital until Miss Mei's happy event is over. These three families are all cousins of Miss Mei, one is named Mei Jizu, the second son of the patriarch, and his wife is Zhuo. One is Mei Chengzu, the eldest son of the Sanfang family in the Mei family, and his wife is Hua. One is Mei Yaozu, the second son of the second family in the Mei family, and his wife is Feng. This Mei family is not very good in the capital. But in Qingzhou, it is a large family, there are many clansmen, poetry and books are heirlooms, and the female dependents of the family are also from Qingzhou families, such as Zhuo's and Hua's are all from Qingzhou Wang family. It's just that there are not many officials in the family, and the official position is not big. When I went, several young masters were talking to Master Mei in her study. A few young grandmothers were talking to Mrs. May, and I heard that the children. The servants were all arranged in the inn. Wait until two days later, and then let the children meet. ”

Bai asked, "What do you think of the Mei family's descendants?" How about the Mei family's young grandmothers? ”

The grandmother smiled and said, "Although I saw it in a hurry,. But I think the people in the Mei family are very well-behaved. Although the dress is a little worse than that of the big families in the capital. But locally it should be considered good. Those young grandmothers are not only virtuous and gentle, generous, and dignified. are all beauties, but they are not compared to Miss Mei, but they are much better than Mrs. Mei, and they are also Sven when they speak, and they should have read books. ”

Bai nodded with satisfaction and said, "It seems that not only Mei Ying is a good one, but this Mei family is also good." Such a big family is good, with a large population and many talents, and he will be able to give Wenlin more arms in the future. There are many Mei families, these in-laws are also prominent families, and the natural population is also large, such as the Zhuo family, for example, the Hua family, I am not afraid of a large population, I just like more people, the more the better, our Xiao Chen family is still too small in population, the background is thin, without the help of in-laws, how can it hold up? No, I have to give these Meiyingde people something to reward, so that I can win their hearts and follow Lin'er to Tianshui City smoothly in the future. ”

Just thinking about it, Bai suddenly asked again: "By the way, when you left later, did you hear the bracelets of those red gold pearls that Mrs. Mei gave me, as well as the distribution of palace flowers?" ”

Speaking of this, that grandmother couldn't help but despise Mrs. Mei's short-sightedness in her heart. Busy said: "At that time, although I came down, I was waiting for Mrs. Mei's subordinates to get me a reward, so I waited in the courtyard outside. Heard some. Mrs. May wanted to give them all to her daughter. Of course, she didn't dare to ask for Miss Mei's share. However, Miss Mei, Li Du ignored her, and directly instructed the maid to give each girl a share of the five pairs of bracelets, and she herself was only a pair. The two girls who came out of the concubine are also a pair each. Also, the twelve palace flowers, she divided them all to her three sisters-in-law, and the daughters of the three sisters-in-law, as well as the two daughters from her stepmother, and one for each of the two daughters from the concubine. She didn't ask for it herself. ”

When Bai heard this, he was happy and distressed, and said: "She is worthy of being a good girl I am optimistic about." It's assertive. Moreover, although the stepmother treats her badly, she still thinks about the sisters born by the stepmother, and the aunts in the backyard are fierce, and she still cares about the sisters who are out of her, and she is a good child with affection and righteousness. Seeing the sisters-in-law in front of him, he also knew that he would rather not give things to his sisters-in-law. What a good girl with good rules and good etiquette. It's all mine, isn't it, how can I give only twelve? It's too few, this palace flower looks rare to outsiders, and there are not many in our family, that is, the red carp in front of me, each of them is put in a clip. I don't love it anymore. Well, it's too late today, and I just finished delivering something, so let's do it tomorrow. Tomorrow, you will go to Mei's house again and send Mei Ying two clips of womb flowers, twelve flowers each. Sue her, just say what I said, it's okay to wear it yourself and play with it, it's okay to give it away, or it's okay to reward people. Well, you can't just send flowers, it will make Mei Ying embarrassed. Tomorrow, let the kitchen make a few of our family's best snacks, make four to send, the portion should be more, half for Mrs. Mei, half for Mei Ying, divided into two clips. Also, I gave Mei Ying my new four gold-woven jokes, all of which are brightly colored and suitable for young people to wear. By the way, how much did Mrs. Mei give you a red seal? ”

The grandmother hurriedly agreed, and said with a smile: "Madame really loves Miss Mei, she hasn't entered the door yet, so she will send things to Miss Mei every once in a while, and Miss Mei will be filial to Madame in the future." As for that red, it's funny to say. Earlier, Mrs. May said that she would reward me with a first-class red. Actually, I went to deliver something on the orders of my wife, where would I covet what to seal red, but this hindered Miss Mei's face, so I waited for the maid to get it. Who knows, this will be a long time, and when Feng Hong is brought, I will come back when I arrive. On the way, I remembered to take a look, and it was actually six big money, which was really laughing. ”

Bai Shi smiled and said, "This Mrs. Mei is really stingy to the extreme. Six big money, or high-grade red, it's really worth it. The high-grade seal in our house is ten taels of silver. Of course, there are not many things in this capital that can be compared with our house, but the Mei family is an official eunuch, why doesn't this Mrs. Mei have any face? Forget it, leave her alone. If you ask me where the people from the Mei family live, I think they should live in the small courtyard I gave to Mei Ying earlier. Have you inquired about how many people are from the Mei family? How old are the young masters, how many young grandmothers, and how many children they bring. Then I told the red carp that tomorrow I would let the red carp prepare a few gifts, and the fresh vegetables in our house will be given to two baskets, and the Poria cocos frost will be given to four baskets, and the dim sum made in our house will be given to four things. There is also a good inkstone for each young master, pen and ink. Several young grandmothers, each with a womb flower. A pair of red gold jade hairpins, a pair of red gold bracelets. The children and boys each have a gold lock and a pair of purses with four gold nudes in them, and the girls each have a pair of small red gold bracelets and a pair of purses with four gold nudes inside. ”

The red carp hurriedly wrote it down.

The next day, Mei Ying was grateful for the things sent by the Bai family, and she said to the painting: "Do you know that Mrs. Chen just sent something yesterday, why did she send something today?" ”

Into the painting asked: "I must like girls." ”

Mei Ying smiled and said, "It's because you like me and love me." It must have been yesterday that the grandmother who sent things told Mrs. Chen about our family, and Mrs. Chen saw that I gave all the palace flowers to my sister-in-law, sister, and nieces, but she didn't have them, so she specially sent me these palace flowers. ”

Thinking about it in the painting, it was really true, and asked: "Then it's good to send palace flowers alone, why do you still send so many things?" ”

Mei Ying said: "If you send palace flowers alone, won't it be tantamount to suing us, did the grandmother she sent listen to us?" How unruly that is. Therefore, in order to send me these palace flowers, she gave these snacks to her stepmother, and deliberately divided them into two parts, just because she was afraid that my share would be greedy by my stepmother, but I didn't eat it. Also, Mrs. Chen must have appreciated that I gave away all the palace flowers, and she didn't keep them, so she specially rewarded me with these fabrics as a reward. ”

Think about it and say, "That's true when the girl said that." Mrs. Chen is so good. Girl, you must be more filial to Mrs. Chen in the future. ”

Mei Ying said: "Well, I will definitely honor Mrs. Chen." I lost my mother when I was a child, and I thought that there would be no more mothers in this life, but now Mrs. Chen is so good to me, just like my mother, I finally have a mother. I will honor her as I would my mother. ”

In Mei Ying's small house, since Zhuo and the others moved from the inn with their families and children yesterday, they were still packing up the cages, and suddenly the grandmother came over to tell her that the grandmother who went to Meifu yesterday came over and sent a gift from Mrs. Chen.

The three of Zhuo's hurriedly changed their clothes and invited the grandmother to sit in the hall. The grandmother repeated her intentions and presented them again. I took my leave. Zhuo Shi and the others thanked them and said that they were embarrassed to accept such a valuable thing, but because it was a reward from the elders, they didn't dare not accept it, and they would definitely go to Xiao Chen's mansion to visit Mrs. Chen another day. also gave the grandmother a first-class red seal.

On the way back, the grandmother opened the red seal and saw that it was actually five hundred dollars. This shot is compared with Mrs. May, Mrs. Mei is really embarrassed.

As soon as this grandmother left, the Zhuo family told Mei Jizu and them. Zhuo said: "This Mrs. Chen is really generous. This Chen family is also hospitable. However, it can also be seen that Mrs. Chen really likes our eldest girl, which is also the blessing of our eldest girl. ”

Mei Jizu sighed and said: "Yesterday, my uncle told us about going to Nanyang in the future, we were still a little hesitant, now it seems that this Xiao Chen family is a sincere person, we must do our best to take care of the marriage of the eldest sister, on the other hand, we must also prepare, more people and relatives will go to Nanyang together, maybe our future is in Nanyang." ”

Zhuo Shi and the others were overjoyed when they heard this, and naturally handled it with their hearts. (To be continued......)
