Chapter 57: Learning Like a Sister-in-law

Mei Ying said: "Madame's affection Mei Ying understands it, at this time, it will be a villain for me to twist it again." Thank you ma'am. ”

Bai's eyebrows smiled, this is the good boy in his photo, clean and neat, and decisive, he will definitely be able to be a good home for Wenlin in the future.

Bai couldn't help but take off a bracelet inlaid with precious stones from his hand, put it on Mei Ying's hand, and said while wearing it: "In addition to the silver ticket of 50,000 taels in this clip, there are also three lists, one is a two-entry small mansion that I bought two streets away from your house before, and the furniture and everything in it are complete, this small mansion will be given to you, so that you can prepare a dowry." Let me tell you, this small house cost 15,000 taels of silver when it was bought, and it was whitewashed again, and some furniture was purchased, which cost nearly 20,000 taels in total. Let me pass it on to you. There are also two lists of things that your sister Wen Hui gave you, and some things that your future sister-in-law gave you, all of which are good things, and they are all in that house. Our family gave you a dowry, maybe your mother will stay as a thought. Your sister and sister-in-law are thinking about giving you these things, and in the future, they will travel far away and can't add makeup to you, so they will prepare them in advance, and it will be their intention to put them in the makeup when the time comes. ”

Mei Ying saw that although the bracelet was not the kind of jade last time, it was only red gold, but the bracelet was very well carved, inlaid with a ruby the size of a fingernail, so the bracelet was very thick, in fact, it was not suitable for herself to wear, but the value must be very good. Such a gem can now buy ten acres of land in the capital.

When Mei Ying was about to resign. Hearing what Bai said, I couldn't help but be moved, Bai was too thoughtful, and the sister-in-law who had never met before, Chen Wenhui, who had met once by chance at a banquet, helped her so much. She didn't even know what to say. And also. Bai also said that the house was given by Chen Wenlin, and he was even more shy, but he was also grateful. is not only grateful to the Bai family, but also to the sister-in-law, sister-in-law, and even more grateful to Chen Wenlin for his thoughtfulness. Especially the Bai family cares about her face. said that the dowry given by the Chen family in the future would be left by his stepmother as a thought. Where will stepmom miss herself? I'm afraid I want to stay as a body for myself, or as a dowry for my two younger sisters in the future. And also. The Bai family put all those things in the small mansion so that his stepmother could not take them, so as to ensure that his dowry would not be swallowed up by his stepmother. By the way, I'm afraid of that little house. It's not just to enlarge what her sister-in-law and sister gave, I'm afraid it's because I want her to put the dowry she bought with 50,000 taels of silver there for the time being, so that the stepmother of the province is blushing. Ask for her stuff.

Mei Ying's eyes couldn't help but dry, since her mother's death. No one cares about themselves anymore.

Bai Shi looked at Mei Ying like this, and also pitied her, what a good child, a child without a mother is pitiful, in the future, he must love her more. Bai Shi looked at the bracelet on Mei Ying's hand and said, "I'm okay with this bracelet, it's heavy for you to wear it for this young man, but I got a few pairs of bracelets with red gold and southern pearls before, and I want to look good for you to wear, and I'll have someone send it to your house when I go back."

Mei Ying hurriedly said: "I have already deserved these things given by Madame, where do I dare to ask for them again, please don't bother to reward Madame." ”

Bai Shi smiled and said, "These little things are not worth anything. I like you if you're still generous, and I'll know when you enter my door in the future, I love my daughter-in-law the most. It's a pity that you may not be able to accompany me in the capital for a long time in the future, so you still have to follow Wen Lin to Tianshui City on Luzon Island and help him take care of things there. I want to be with you for a long time. What a lovely child. ”

Mei Ying's face was flushed when she was praised by the Bai family, and when she talked about her fiancΓ© Chen Wenlin, she was even more ashamed. However, she was also shocked in her heart, why couldn't she stay in the capital after marriage? Yes, Chen Wenlin is the lord of Tianshui City, and he was personally sealed by the emperor, and he can't return to the capital if he is not married, but in a situation like this, there are many young people in the capital, and many young people have gone to the local government, in this case, most of them are let these young people take their concubines to take office, and the wife has to stay at home to be filial to her in-laws and manage the housework. She also thought about it before, I am afraid that soon after getting married, her husband will go to Nanyang, so she will take care of the family, be filial to her in-laws, and help manage the affairs of the family, so as to repay Mrs. Chen's love.

Why is Bai saying now that she should follow her to take office? Do you also want to help Wen Lin manage the affairs of Tianshui City? Where is there a woman in charge of government affairs, Mei Ying hurriedly said: "Madam, I will definitely serve you well in the future, where is there a woman in charge of the affairs of the court?" I will buy a few beautiful maids, take advantage of this time, train well, in the future, accompany, accompany, well, son to Tianshui City. ”

Speaking of the latter sentence, Mei Ying was already ashamed. Who knows, Bai's smiling face suddenly became stern and said, "You kid, how can you be affected by those rotten Confucians?" Why can't women manage things anymore? Your sister is now not only the city lord of Qingchun City, but also the head of the four cities of Nanyang, the head of Nanyang personally appointed by the emperor, and the minister of super first grade. And your sister-in-law, when she was in Shanghai City, she helped Wen Jun manage the affairs of Shanghai City, and when she arrived in Xinguang City, she was in charge of all the things in Xinguang City, isn't this in order? You have to study like your sister-in-law in the future. Also, about the matter of concubines, don't think about it, our family's family rules don't allow concubines to exist. In the future, if Wenlin makes a mistake in this regard, you just have to tell me, I will definitely use the family law. Also, you want to buy more people and train well during this period of time, but not to be a concubine for Wen Lin, but to be your helper in Tianshui City in the future. Also, your current maid, you have to tell them that when you enter my mansion, don't think about climbing the master's bed, in case you are discovered, there is only one dead word, and I will not tolerate it. ”

When he said this, he also glanced at Mei Ying's follow-up painting, intentionally or unintentionally. When he entered the painting, he immediately knelt down and said, "Madam, the slave has never had such a dirty mind. ”

Bai nodded with a smile and said to the red carp beside him, "Give this maid a reward." In the future, as long as you serve your girl well, without crooked thoughts, and the people under you are not crooked, I will still have a heavy reward. ”

The red carp smiled and took out a red gold goldfish bracelet from his arms, walked over and put it on the painting, and the painting was still frightened, and he didn't care about looking at the bracelet, so he kowtowed and thanked him.

Bai nodded with satisfaction and said: "Good boy, during this period of time, you not only have to buy a dowry, but also get more manpower, not only subordinates, it is best to see if there are any available talents among your mother's relatives, and they will all be brought to Tianshui City in the future, and they will be taken to Tianshui City to get an official and a half-job, so that you and Wenlin can be helpers." Your sister-in-law is now in charge of Xinguang City, and half of the officials in Xinguang City are the children or in-laws of her family. Not only am I not angry here, but I also praise your sister-in-law, you have to learn more from your sister-in-law. ”

Mei Ying had no idea, this was not at all what she had imagined before.

Bai Shi knew that such a big matter was not something to be considered for a while, so he said, "Okay, our mother and son have been talking for so long, and it is time to go back." Let's go. ”

After speaking, she took Mei Ying's hand affectionately, went out of the ear room, and entered the main hall, the banquet in the hall continued, Mrs. Mei saw that the Bai family took Mei Ying out, she was a little worried, in the circle of ladies in the capital, the Bai family is famous, she is really afraid that Mei Ying is not sensible, don't offend the Bai family. When he was worried, Bai came back with Mei Ying's hand with a smile, looking very affectionate and happy, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. At this time, she saw that the red gold gemstone bracelet that she was originally wearing on Bai's hand was now in Mei Ying's hand.

The reason why I noticed this place is because before, when these ladies were chatting together, there was a lady who praised the bracelet on Bai's hand, and took it off to show everyone carefully, everyone praised the five rubies inlaid on it are of good color and size, and they are really hard to find, and some ladies flattered Bai and said that such a good quality gem can't be bought outside, only Nanyang can get it, which shows how good the business of the Xiao Chen family is. There is also a lady who said to the Bai family that if Xiao Chen's shop gets such a good quality gem in the shop, she will definitely talk to her, and they want it too, regardless of the price.

At that time, Mrs. Mei, who felt that she was shabby, couldn't help but be envious, and shrunk the small red gold bracelet she was wearing into her sleeve. A bracelet like herself, whether it is workmanship or quality, can only be worn by the maids beside Mrs. Chen. I'm so sorry.

It was precisely because she was impressed by this bracelet that she saw at a glance that this valuable bracelet was now on Mei Ying's hand. Madame May could not help but become jealous.

Not only Mrs. Mei noticed it, but also Mrs. Mei noticed that this lady was familiar with the Bai family, and couldn't help but joke with her: "Oh, it can be seen that Mrs. Xiao Chen feels sorry for her daughter-in-law." This is just to let the future daughter-in-law accompany her to change clothes, and she will reward this gem bracelet, I already knew that I didn't want to fight with my old face, and I had to grab this errand and accompany Mrs. Xiao Chen to change clothes. ”

This is a joke, of course. This lady who told the joke was dressed very luxuriously, and everyone laughed when they heard it, and Bai smiled and said: "Miss Mei's long thin skin and tender flesh, smooth and smooth skin, accompany me to change clothes, I am naturally happy, and I should reward the child with something." You're so old, accompany me to change clothes, I don't want you to find money that is already worthy of you, and can you still give you things? ”

Everyone laughed again.

A banquet passed in such laughter. At the end of the banquet, everyone said goodbye, and Mrs. Mei also took Mei Ying to say goodbye and return home. On the way, Mrs. Mei has been staring at the bracelet on Mei Ying's hand, if it was in the past, Mei Ying would definitely sarcastically say a few words to Mrs. Mei, but today, Mei Ying seems to be a little uneasy, and has been thinking quietly about her thoughts, and her two beautiful eyebrows are still wrinkled tightly.
