Miss Xu Si smiled, attached it to Xu Qirong's ear, and whispered: "Don't worry, they will take whatever they give, it's not a big deal." ”

Xu Qirong was a little confused, the bracelet inlaid with Yun Ying, even the most ordinary silver bracelet, is not cheap, Mrs. Zhou has no friendship with their family, it is such a valuable thing as soon as she makes a move, is it a ...... The people of Fuzhou City are particularly wealthy? I haven't seen it these days!

Seeing Xu Qirong's blank face, he said with a smile: "I'll explain to you later." ”

So Xu Qirong calmed down and looked well-behaved and sensible. Then I heard Mrs. Pei speak: "Since Mrs. Zhou has spoken, then I will also join in the fun." Then he asked someone to fetch three white hostas carved with magnolia flowers and gave them to the three sisters of Xu Qirong.

Xu Qirong glanced at the white hosta, the jade material was also excellent, and he knew that it was worth a lot of money at a glance.

was at a loss, and heard Mrs. Yu say: "I am not as big as Mrs. Pei and Mrs. Zhou, I don't have anything else at home, but there are many books, and when I go back, I personally selected three books of rouge, conditioning and Shu embroidery stitching to send to Xu's house." ”

In these years, books are more expensive than anything else, not to mention the books that are mixed with rouge, Master Xu Si turned through the bookstore in Xijing City for a whole month, and he didn't find a single one, which is simply priceless! Mrs. Yu gave three books, Xu Qirong was a little frightened, and Qi also said: "Madame doesn't have to spend so much......

Before the words fell, he was interrupted by Mrs. Yu: "It's not worth any money, it's all my manuscript." ”

Then I saw Mrs. Pei, Mrs. Zhou, and Mrs. Yu looking at Mrs. Du with burning eyes, and Mrs. Du's face was a little annoyed. Then when she saw that everyone was looking at her, her expression changed, revealing a smug look. Snorted coldly: "See what I do?" I'm certainly not the kind of person who is stingy! ”

Then he turned back to the mother-in-law behind him and said, "Mother Du, go, get the three golden Buddhas!" ”

Three Golden Buddhas!

Qi and the others were all taken aback, and stopped them repeatedly: "Mrs. Du, you really don't have to spend so much money......

Mrs. Pei interrupted Qi's words and said with a smile: "Don't worry, our Mrs. Du has always been big-handed. Ping Suli rewarded the subordinates, and they were all given silver Buddhas, and they were given to the little lady as a meeting gift. Naturally, they are all Golden Buddhas. ”

Miss Xu Si also smiled and said, "In the early years, I also won Mrs. Du's Golden Buddha. ”

Qi, Xu Qirong and others were surprised for a while, this land of Sichuan and Shu does not need to be prosperous in Yangzhou, and the officials don't like to be transferred here. First, the people are strong. Second, there is little oil and water, could it be that this Sichuan and Shu Festival has made a fortune here? That's why this Duff is such a nouveau riche?

Mrs. Du raised her chin with some pride: "Except for the Golden Buddha and the Silver Buddha, I don't have anything else!" ”

Sister Xu Qirong was silent for a moment, and then thanked her obediently and skillfully, and Mrs. Du glanced at the other ladies: "Don't worry, sisters, it's not my sister, I love to show off, I really didn't prepare anything else." ”

Mrs. Pei and the others laughed: "We don't know you yet." I won't bother you with this. ”

After receiving the greeting gift, Mrs. Pei said to Miss Xu Si: "The chrysanthemum appreciation party has not started yet. You accompanied the young ladies of the Xu family around and took them to meet a few more new friends. ”

Miss Xu Si agreed with a smile, and then pulled Xu Qirong away, and Xu Qi'e and Xu Qidie hurriedly followed. When she was far away, Miss Xu Si squatted down and laughed while holding her stomach.

Xu Qirong and the others were a little puzzled, and Xu Qidie asked innocently: "Why is Fourth Sister Xu so happy?" ”

Xu Yuanshuang burst into tears and laughed, and when she finally stopped laughing, she approached the Xu sisters and whispered: "Mrs. Du has always been a person who likes to show off, and we have always prepared a bunch of gold and silver Buddhas in Sichuan and Shu. ”

Xu Qidie was taken aback: "That's not to spend a lot of silver!" ”

Xu Yuanshuang nodded, with a smile in the corner of her eyes, and said: "Mrs. Du was already in this habit when she first came to Fuzhou City, and when my aunt saw her like this, she took her to get acquainted with the female relatives of Fuzhou City, and the little golden Buddha gave one after another!" ”

That's gold, and no matter how small the Golden Buddha is, it's not cheap!

Even Xu Qirong couldn't help but be speechless: "The Du family's background is really not thin!" ”

Miss Xu Si waved her hand: "Lord Du was born in poverty, relying on his fiancée to do needlework and study, until the title of the gold list, and then released from the county order, step by step to climb up to today's status, where did you come from!" ”

Xu Qirong was surprised, and Xu Qidie blurted out: "Could it be that this Mrs. Du is not Lord Du's original partner, and this Mrs. Du's family is very rich?" ”

Miss Xu Si shook her head, and said mysteriously: "This Mrs. Du is the fiancée who suffered with Lord Du, I heard my aunt say that she was about to suffer too many people's eyes when she was poor, so she once gained power, and she was afraid that others would look down on her poor background, so she likes to give away things generously to show herself."

When she first came to Fuzhou City, her aunt led her to make friends with everyone, each family has a few children, Mrs. Du died to save face, a golden Buddha and a golden Buddha were sent outside, with a smile on her face, and she didn't know how to feel distressed behind her back! And because she has suffered with Lord Du, Lord Du is always used to her. ”

Xu Qirong was speechless for a while, and then suddenly realized: "Mrs. Pei just now, did they do it on purpose?" ”

Miss Xu Si nodded: "Mrs. Du is distressed, and on the other hand, she refuses to change her bad habit, so although she has still sent gold and silver Buddhas to the outside over the years, it is easy not to reward people." My aunt and uncle are also narrow-minded, so they always coax Mrs. Du to give people a gift. ”

Xu Qidie was puzzled: "But in order to coax Mrs. Du to give people a meeting gift, the ladies themselves have to send a lot of things out, isn't it a loss?" ”

Miss Xu Si waved her hand and explained: "Last time, I coaxed Mrs. Du to give a meeting gift to a cousin of Second Sister Wu, but Mrs. Du said that what others gave was gadgets, and she gave too valuable things to other ladies to lose face, so she gave a small silver Buddha. ”

Xu Qirong suddenly realized, it turned out that Mrs. Pei and others sent such a valuable thing this time, so that Mrs. Du's silver Buddha couldn't be handled! At the moment, I couldn't cry or laugh, and I felt that Mrs. Du was really a little ...... I don't know how to say it.

Xu Qidie whispered to Xu Qi'e: "This Mrs. Du is so pitiful. ”

Xu Qi'e sneered, and whispered to Xu Qidie: "She can also take out the Golden Buddha and Silver Buddha, which means that she has a good life, and she is the wife of the festival envoy, where is it pitiful?" "I thought to myself, we are so much more pitiful than her!

Then I saw Miss Xu Si's eyes lit up: "Second Sister Wu is over there, let's go over quickly." (To be continued......)
