Chapter 129: Invitation

Gu's mother said it was indeed sincere, but she cleverly added two compliments, it was rare that she said it naturally, without any sense of stiffness and straightforwardness, which was quite pleasing to the ear.

At that time, it made a room full of petites laugh.

Cui Wanqing half-covered her face with a handkerchief, and she couldn't help but laugh, and only praised after laughing, "Yulan really has a vision, and she has found such an interesting mother for us, just a few words from you have amused a room of people, and this story will not be boring to listen to today." ”

"Mama, let's reward first."

Fang's mother's tears of laughter came out, she wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief when she heard this, turned around and walked to the long table of mahogany bent legs placed against the wall, and picked out a waterdrop silver hairpin with plain silver inlaid with amethyst from the jewelry box with silver horns inlaid with Huanghuali.

Lifted up and looked at the bright place carefully, I felt that the style was fresh, the materials were exquisite, and the walls were full of colorful points of light under the sun.

She nodded with satisfaction, turned around and walked straight to Gu's mother, and put the hairpin directly on Gu's mother's head.

After looking at it from front to back, he praised it with a smile, "Yes, this kind of amethyst is the most vivid, doesn't it look good if you young daughters-in-law take it?" ”

"You look handsome, and with this hairpin, you really complement each other."

"I said Gu's mother, as long as you speak well today, let our young lady and Miss Cousin laugh happily, old sister, I will ensure that you go out with a hairpin full of silver hairpins, and the eyes of the people in this garden will be swayed by you!"

Cao Tang laughed more and more violently, and pulled Xu's mother straight away. She almost couldn't breathe, and it took her half a breath before she struggled out with a broken sentence: "Mom, let's also reward Fang's mother"

Such an intermittent and endless sentence, it is difficult for Mother Xu, who gave her a smooth breath, to understand it.

She pointed to the eight-bucket kitchen near the window and said to Jade: "Jade, go quickly, choose our box of silver jewelry, and choose the top for Mother Fang to wear!" ”

"Our young lady said it, Mother Fang made her laugh, and there was a reward!"

Cui Wanqing couldn't help but glare at Cao Tang. "You little creature ghost." Even your cousin's grandmother is playing, and I'm really used to you getting more and more out of shape. ”

Cao Tang was so happy, he laughed until he fell, and his whole body was weak and weak. Leaning back in the circle chair and oops. What else can be said there?

In the end, Xu's mother is still close to her own young lady. She was originally a person sent by Cui Wanqing's grandmother, with a big background and a hard waist. I am not particularly afraid of my own cousin.

At the moment, she helped the laughing and speechless young lady, and replied to Cui Wanqing: "Hey, what Miss Biao said, let's get together today, it's rare to be so happy, everything you say and do, it's just for the word 'happy'." ”

"The old slave I can't wait to say something, it is in line with your heart, you also give the old slave a silver hairpin to wear, others don't know, can the old slave not know?"

"Your boxes of silver jewelry are all fine products from the time-honored Jin Manlou, although Jin Manlou's fame has been suppressed by the Xianbao Pavilion in recent years."

"But the old people in our capital all know that their objects are made of sufficient materials and are in good condition, plus the new flowers painted by you, Miss Cousin."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, that's really a place to buy with money!"

As she spoke, she also pointed to the beautiful and chic silver-inlaid amethyst hairpin on Gu's mother's head, so that everyone could come and see if what she said was true?

The magnolia they wear on weekdays is even better than these rewarding people, and they inevitably show a smug smile on their faces, but they don't step forward to join in the fun.

It was Cao Tang's side who was waiting, with a fragrant fragrance, all around Gu's mother, and for a while, they surrounded people tightly, and listened to Gu's mother's embarrassed and modest manners, "Hey, hey, when I take off the hairpin, the girls will look at it slowly."

Mother Xu secretly held Cui Wanqing, which made Cui Wanqing, who had always been steady, embarrassed.

But seeing that her cheeks were slightly red, she said quite embarrassedly: "Hey, they were all young and ignorant, so I drew an image of the maids around me and wore some jewelry, but somehow, I fell into the eyes of the shopkeeper of Jinmanlou, looking for my mother, and begging to help them draw some tricks." ”

"Later, my grandmother helped me get the idea and signed the contract, but I saw that it would take three years to complete, but it was not good to break the contract halfway."

"Since Mother Xu likes it so much, you might as well choose a few hairpins by yourself, it's all my negligence, I should have sent you a few a few a long time ago."

When Mother Xu said those words, she also wanted to be close to Cui Wanqing, and deliberately said some good things to please her.

However, Cui Wanqing said that she would let her choose at will, and she was not polite to refuse, so she generously thanked Cui Wanqing.

Then he walked to the side of the long case, and quite carefully chose a silver-inlaid ruby grenade, on which a pair of pomegranates side by side, all cracked, revealing the fiery red fruit inside, which was bright and beautiful when he looked at it.

I took a butterfly love flower hairpin, the butterfly used the latest technology, a little move, the wings will go straight to the edge, vivid and interesting, this kind of wings will move the hairpin, it is the style of the capital is in fashion.

She pinned the pomegranate flat square to her hair bun with her backhand, smiled and raised the hairpin of the butterfly love flower and said: "The pomegranate flat square, the slave wears it herself, and this butterfly love flower will be brought home to my little granddaughter who loves it." ”

"This hairpin is lively and playful, she must like it tightly, and her eyes must be gone to laugh."

Everyone laughed and laughed, just to give Gu's mother plenty of time to calm down, she saw that the two young ladies were so generous, such a valuable hairpin, it was given away at will, it was even more bold than a man.

couldn't help but straighten his eyes and beat his heart faster, secretly thinking that he must make the two young ladies happy, and he could take the opportunity to get more benefits.

He took a deep breath, stabilized his mind, got up and said a blessing to Cui Wanqing and Cao Tang.

With a smile on his face, he asked: "Two young ladies, the slave maid is a native of the local, and she followed her mother to run errands for her master when she was a child. "It's not the slave that I'm talking big. This Jiangyuan county has been run all over the county, and it is very familiar, so there is no place I don't know. ”

"If you two want to know something, just ask, the slave and maid must know what to say, and will never lie and behave, and will tell the truth."

Cui Wanqing and Cao Tang looked at each other and smiled, and asked, "Well, don't worry, we don't plan to go out today." There was plenty of time. You just have to go into detail. ”

"When we first arrived at Guibaodi, we naturally wanted to ask what the surrounding scenery is worth seeing, and we also wanted to taste your special food here."

"Also, the storyteller of which teahouse. The best thing to say? You might as well tell us all of this. ”

"Hey. Honor. The two young ladies listened to the slave and maid in detail. "Mother Gu is happy, and this is what I will say.

It turns out that this Jiangyuan County can be regarded as a big county near Jiangzhou City. Because the county has loved capable people since ancient times, it is really not the kind of obscure small county town.

Today's Jiangyuan County also has several leading figures.

For example, their family's Dai master, who operated more than half of the civil engineering business in Jiangnan, was selected to build the royal palace in Jiangnan because of his superb skills, and at that moment, it was the most glorious moment of the Dai family.

Another example is the Fang family in the south of the city, their family is a timber business to make a fortune, at first they sold huanghuali and mahogany, and then they had the capital, and they began to operate sandalwood, agarwood, purple nanmu and other valuable wood.

Because of the good quality of their goods, they have a good reputation in Jiangnan, as long as they are not in a tight hand, they would rather spend more money to buy real goods in their house, rather than risk buying fake goods in other houses for the sake of cheapness.

There is also the family of General Guo of Yuyuan City, which is also in Jiangyuan County, this Guo Counselor is the biggest official in Jiangyuan County in the past 50 years, so their family's prestige in Jiangyuan County is very high.

With so many families, supported by rich and powerful families, the county seat of Jiangyuan County is much more prosperous than the average county seat.

At least the surrounding places with excellent scenery have big families automatically paying for them, and the repairs are beautiful and bright, and they look very much like the same thing, and they won't let the ladies go over, and they won't even get off the ground.

Speaking of excellent scenery, we have to say that the Caiping Mountain in the north of Jiangyuan County.

The shape of the mountain looks like a screen, and there are many red maples on the mountain, and in autumn, the red, yellow and green colors are mixed, and it looks very beautiful.

There is a silver moon nunnery on the mountain, it has always been the incense vigorous, the hall of the nunnery, the longest history has been hundreds of years, and it has been expanded several times in recent years, and the scale is also considerable.

The beautiful Swallow Lake is in the back mountain of Caiping Mountain, where the trees are dense, and it is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces the river, so it is much cooler than the county seat in summer.

The big families in the county are building villas there, waiting for the hot weather to go into the mountains to escape the heat.

Like the Dai family, this kind of net worth, naturally will not be left behind, listening to the ancient mother, the villa over there was repaired many years earlier than this manor, but the materials are exquisite, and it is close to the mountains and rivers, there are many places to see and play, and it is naturally more interesting than here.

Cui Wanqing listened to what she said, which was much more comprehensive than what she read in books, she believed in Buddhism, but she was not interested in the nunnery.

However, Caiping Mountain and Swallow Lake are unexpected, and if you want to come to a small county, you can have such two places to see the boundary, which is already considered to be the best.

Taking advantage of Gu's mother's tea break, she nodded and said, "Oh, listening to what you say, our sisters must be indispensable, and we want to go to Caiping Mountain." ”

"But since I've been troublesome to your family for so long, then let's just trouble to the end, and I'll ask Mother Fang to go to your Dai Mansion to post in a while, and invite your wife to come over and talk."

"I have a few things here, and I have to trouble her, and I have to trouble Mother Gu to show her way."

Gu's mother agreed without a word, and said again and again that it should be so.

Then he talked about the delicious food in the county, the fun, whose food was good, and the tea in that house.

I drank three or four cups of thirst-quenching tea alone, and I really did my best, and I didn't cheat at all.

Cui Wanqing had a bottom in her heart, and she had to reward Gu's mother, so she wrote a post by herself, and asked Fang's mother to prepare four valuable gifts, so she followed Meizizi's Gu mother to Dai's mansion to post.

After Master Dai went home from the banquet that day, he specially instructed his wife, saying that the two young ladies who lived in the other garden were well-known and well-known ladies, and they were inevitably invited by the next post.

But the Dai family is the main family, and the identity is far lower than that of the Cui Cao family, so it should be Mrs. Dai who brought gifts and came to the door to ask for a meeting.

However, the two young ladies had only come over a long journey, and they had to rest for two days, so he asked Mrs. Dai to get ready first, so as not to come to him and be in a hurry, right?

Mrs. Dai listened to her master, told her the true identity of the nobles, and listened to Master Dai explain the reason why he was so stammered.

But it turned out that it was all for the sake of her youngest son, and she was excited, where was there someone who didn't care?

opened the warehouse immediately, took the henchman mother, the maid, and unpacked the cage with great fanfare, and carefully selected gifts for the young ladies of Cui Cao's family.

She hasn't made up her mind about picking and choosing here, and the mother of the Cui family came to the door with posts and gifts, and it was inevitably a lot of chaos.

Hurriedly sent the housekeeper's mother to the future to receive tea from the small flower hall, and she quickly changed the clothes of the guests and hurried over.

As soon as they met like this, Mrs. Dai immediately knew in her heart, just looking at the mother who posted the post, she could estimate how the master behind her was.

It seems that people are so generous and decent, and she knows that the two young ladies in her own garden will not be the young lady who is above the top of the eye, has no one under her eyes, and is difficult to serve.

When Mrs. Dai's eyes saw the few gifts that Fang's mother asked the maid to offer, she couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart, and couldn't help but sigh that what her master said was true.

The Dai family is already wealthy, so their family actually lives on both sides of Jiangzhou City and Jiangyuan County, and speaking of which, they live more time in Jiangzhou City.

I have a lot of contacts with the ladies in the city, and my vision and knowledge will naturally not be low, just look at these gifts, whether they are expensive or not, they are all packed in all kinds of beautiful carved wooden boxes, which is a habit only in the Beijing family.

Mrs. Dai took advantage of Fang's mother to sit down, glanced at the table of the Eight Immortals, and saw a foot of Nanmu carved inlaid treasure wooden box, the ruby on it, shining so dazzling, at first glance, it was worth a lot.

There will be no shortage of such precious objects Mrs. Dai, but they are all treasures in the small warehouse, and most of them are given to close friends.

People are really from the capital, and the shot is generous, regardless of anything else, this momentum is stable and overwhelming!

Mrs. Dai, who was shocked by the gift, was straight at the face of Fang's mother when she faced Fang's mother.

The two politely talked for a while, and Mrs. Dai also rewarded Fang's mother with the pair of gold-inlaid jade bracelets she wore on her wrists.

What can be carried on her wrist is definitely not an ordinary product, and Fang's mother did not shirk, she accepted it generously and thanked her, and made an appointment to have dinner together in the evening. (To be continued......)
