After sending Fang's mother away, Mrs. Dai asked the maid to carry the four boxes back to her yard, and by the way, she also sent someone to the outer study to invite Master Dai over.

After she took turns to appreciate the four boxes with different characteristics, Master Dai, who rushed to hear the news, was also out of breath and entered the house with a thin sweat.

Mrs. Dai hurriedly called someone to serve herbal tea to Master Dai, played a fan, and personally twisted a handkerchief to wipe his sweat.

Seeing that Master Dai calmed down, she told Fang's mother about the post, 1510.

Master Dai looked at the exquisite boxes, then at his old wife, and laughed, "It's hard for you to endure your curiosity today, and you haven't opened it to take a peek." ”

"It's done, it's over, you open the box, let's take a look at the contents inside."

Mrs. Dai smiled embarrassedly, she was actually not patient, but she didn't have time to admire the box, and her master rushed over.

However, she didn't break this beautiful misunderstanding, and personally opened the four boxes one by one, and the couple looked inside.

"Hey." Mrs. Dai clapped her hands and sighed: "The pair of gold-inlaid jade bracelets just now is still light!" ”

I can't help but be a little worried, will the young lady of Cui Cao's family think that she is a childish because of this?

It turned out that none of the four gifts sent by Fang's mother were not treasures, and they were all commonly used objects, which was not just as simple as being valuable.

The most important thing is the heart of the giver, which makes people really feel considerate and thoughtful.

These four gifts. They are, a piece of green glaze engraved flower roll grass pattern hollow aromatherapy furnace, a pink and green glazed lotus pen wash, a set of orange and yellow silver inlaid beeswax head surface, and a box of high-quality plum fragrance cloud ink.

Mrs. Dai is a woman, and she was immediately attracted by the eye-catching beeswax head.

She stretched out her hand to take the dragonfly playing lotus and bead hairpin in it, looked at it carefully, and finally pointed to the dragonfly on it, and sighed: "Don't talk about things in the north." There is no sophistication in our south. In the past, when I was with those ladies, I listened to how they flaunted our crafts in the south and slandered the crafts in the north. ”

"But sir, come and see. Something made in the capital. Sufficient materials. The color is good, the style is dignified and atmospheric, and it is not the general color at first glance. ”

"Look at the peacock peony hairpin on the concubine's head again. It's fluttering, not even a weight, whether it's taken or worn on weekdays, I'm afraid that if I'm not careful, this peacock will have to fall. ”

Master Dai glanced at it in his busy schedule, and couldn't help but secretly amuse, in fact, the hairpin on his wife's head was not as thin as she said.

It's just that the southerners have always been used to careful calculations, and it is inevitable to be careful in the materials, so it looks exquisite and ingenious, but they don't realize that they lose the word "real".

In fact, this is why people in the north usually love to buy exquisite jewelry for their wives and young ladies in the south, in order to look at the exquisite style and look novel.

The women in the south, on the other hand, always like to make a complete set of noodles in the north to make dowries for their own young ladies, in order to use real materials and keep the pressure box.

In the final analysis, it's just that there are gains and losses, and it just depends on how you choose, where is what Mrs. Dai said?

Even the word slander was used

Master Dai couldn't help but shake his head, and once again focused on the treasure in his hand.

Mrs. Dai reluctantly put the hairpin back in the box and muttered to herself: "No, I have to put this set of noodles aside." ”

"The six girls in our family are about to say that they are going to marry someone, this good thing is hard to find, I have to keep it for her, and make a dowry for her when the time comes, and make sure she likes it."

Master Dai was only immersed in his own world this time, but he didn't hear Mrs. Dai's decision.

He was looking intoxicated, holding a piece of plum blossom-shaped cloud ink and sniffing it lightly, thinking to himself, "Only such a good ink is worthy of a good stroke of my Hai'er!" ”

After a long time, the couple gave up, and Mrs. Dai asked her confidant to receive the gift to her bedroom.

As for the box of plum fragrance cloud ink, it's not too late to send it to my son later, so it's better to hurry up and discuss serious things first.

"Master, Mother Gu told the concubine, saying that Miss Cui wants to take her sister to take her sister around our county, and she also wants to take a walk on Caiping Mountain."

"I'm afraid that I still have to borrow to live in our annex, and as for other things, I'm afraid that we will not be able to discuss it until we meet in the evening."

"What can you agree to, what can't you promise, you also have a thorough understanding with the concubine, and the concubine will have a decision when the time comes, right?"

Master Dai squinted his eyes and slapped the table in a good mood, "Hey, she's a young lady, and she knows her duty, so how can she make excessive demands on you?" ”

"I think it's there, other people's family education and cultivation are there, and they will never let you and me suffer anything, so whatever she says, you just have to agree, you can't be wrong."

When Mrs. Dai heard what he said, she couldn't help but secretly slander herself in her heart, "The master is still a businessman in the end, and everything he does is linked to interests." ”

"At the beginning, I praised the young ladies for their good tutors, and then I said that I would not let my family suffer, so good at calculation, after all, it is not superior."

It's a pity that her father died early, her mother was widowed and brought her up, and her uncle, who was the head of the house, still used his marriage as a bargaining chip for money.

Come to think of it, Mrs. Dai, a daughter of a family full of poetry and books, has spent most of her life with Master Dai, who has a stinky belly of copper coins, and it is really not easy.

However, Mrs. Dai didn't feel nostalgic for too long, so she heard Master Dai on the other side sigh loudly: "Alas, I said that Mrs., in the future, after Hai'er High School, it would be good if she could marry us back a daughter like Cui Cao's two young ladies." ”

"Even if my daughter-in-law's family is a side branch, I admit it, if I can get the help of the capital Gaomen, our Hai'er's career will be smoother."

"I just hope that from him, our family will smoothly change the lintel and change from a merchant to an official eunuch. This is the fulfillment of my wish, and I will be content in this life. ”

These few words can be regarded as saying that Mrs. Dai is in a good mood, and she covers her mouth and smiles, "Actually, the daughter-in-law of the third child of our family is also good, and she is also from a scholarly family. ”

"Don't look at the daughter-in-law of a concubine, but I see that she is very well-behaved and has always been fair in her affairs at home. There is no favoritism. ”

"You don't know. This child has changed Aunt Shui's face several times, that is, the third child is a sensible child, if he is as selfish as the fifth child, then our family will be lively. ”

The Dai family has been missing since the eldest son. Mrs. Dai, who is a mother-in-law, is worried and sick. He lay on the bed for more than two months.

Stuck in his yard all day long. Even the family affairs are entrusted to a few henchmen.

Mrs. Dai's youngest son is young, not to mention, he is still busy with school, in this situation. It is inevitable that some people will have thoughts that they shouldn't have.

In order to stabilize the turbulent Dai family, in desperation, Mrs. Dai had to choose the third child who was pleasing to the eye among the three concubines.

For the sake of long-term planning, he personally selected a young lady from a scholarly family to be his daughter-in-law for the third son.

Now the two of them are husband and wife and beautiful, and they are also close to Mrs. Dai, but they compare their biological aunts who love to compare and are so jealous, and hold them high.

There is no disadvantage in food and clothing, all of them are selected and sent, but if this person has any excessive requirements, the couple have a tacit understanding, and they will not accommodate her.

In this way, the Dai family, who was originally stormy and was eyed by the concubines and clansmen, finally stabilized their gods.

Seeing the hand-selected daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law acting so steadily and properly, Mrs. Dai also felt that there was light on her face, and she couldn't help but be a little nicer to her daughter-in-law.

After several years of getting along, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have become more and more aware of each other, originally just for the sake of profit, but now, she has begun to like this girl from the bottom of her heart.

Don't look at Mrs. Dai's loss of her father, watching the face of the person in the long house grow up, but this person has bright eyes and a bright heart, always seizes every opportunity and silently enriches himself.

It is precisely because of this that after marrying a businessman, she will not feel sorry for herself, not sad about the spring and autumn, and manage her own life.

Although the eldest son, who had the most high hopes, disappeared inexplicably, Mrs. Dai also had a younger son, and the two daughters were happy under her knees, and her husband had always respected her, and the family was also happy.

In fact, the reason why Mrs. Dai raised her concubine's family so much was also because of her own selfishness, and it was indeed forced by the situation at that time, so she had to do it.

But there is another point, that is, her sister-in-law's youngest son is a young talent with real knowledge, he was born at the age of ten, passed the township examination at the age of thirteen, and passed the government examination at the age of sixteen last year.

Now in the academy, he is a proud disciple of Mr., personally taking him by his side to teach, teaching carefully every day, just waiting for the Beijing Dabi two years later, he is going to show his ambitions.

At that time, if he can really find a good father-in-law in the capital as his master said, then his son will definitely take root in the capital in the future.

But the Dai family's family business has been passed down for several generations, she is reluctant, and Master Dai is absolutely reluctant, so don't you have to let Dai Sangongzi guard it?

If you want people to help you do things sincerely, you have to make people feel comfortable and emotionally inclined to you.

You can't force everything to come, in this case, the couple must be convinced, and in the end, it will become a set in front of you and a set behind your back?

Then dare to ask the old couple in the future, won't they even dare to move to visit relatives in the capital?

Master Dai smiled with a pleased smile: "As the saying goes, two good can put one good, you don't just praise them as a good couple, if it weren't for you, who are just and virtuous as a mother-in-law, the children wouldn't be good if they wanted to be good, right?" ”

"Madam, the most correct decision in my life is to marry you, I know best how important it is for a man to have a good wife, so I want to ask for a high-ranking woman for my son."

"The young lady from this big family, who acts magnificently and has a long-term vision, will definitely be a good helper for her husband, a virtuous helper, in this way, you and I can save some worries, right?"

Mrs. Dai saw her master in front of her subordinates, so she praised her so bluntly, she felt embarrassed, her heart was suddenly soft and sweet, and she was afraid of being seen, so she could only sip tea to cover up.

muttered, "The master can say this, the concubine's worries in the past are worth it."

Master Dai is used to seeing the dignified appearance of his old wife, with a shy and gentle expression like this, it seems that he often sees it when he is married, but later as they have the eldest son and eldest daughter, a concubine is added to the backyard, and the concubine will never see Mrs. Dai like this again.

He couldn't help but sigh with emotion, secretly sighing that his youth and frivolity still damaged the friendship between husband and wife, but there is no regret medicine in the world.

Now he can only think more about his young son, which can be regarded as another kind of sincere compensation.

When Master Dai thought of this, he was full of enthusiasm and said to Mrs. Dai: "Madam, can you choose the gifts for the two young ladies tonight?" ”

Mrs. Dai was reminded of this question, and hurriedly asked someone to bring a few items she had originally ordered, and asked Master Dai to help with the palms, and they would be used in a while.

Master Dai looked at it carefully, and said after consideration: "Gifts must also be given appropriately, our identities are here, and it is not good to go past the distinguished guests." ”

"You just choose two medium among these, and then pick the most fashionable fabric in Jiangzhou City this year, and send the best."

"Let's also learn from the two young ladies, the mind is the first, the mind is the best."

Mrs. Dai nodded in approval, thought about it, and asked people to pack two more boxes, Dai's special double lotus glutinous rice and bean paste cold cake, adding enough four kinds, which made the maid wait to clean up and prepare to go to the banquet in the evening.

Originally, she planned to take her three daughters-in-law and the two of them together, but she returned to her parents' house today and did not return for a long time.

Mrs. Dai didn't dare to let Cui Wanqing wait for a long time, so she had to go to the banquet alone.

Needless to say, a well-organized dinner party was used to entertain both guests and hosts, Mrs. Dai was still a little nervous at the beginning, but when she saw Cui Wanqing and Cao Tang later, they were both gentle and amiable, and gradually let go.

And the Shuanglian glutinous rice bean paste cold cake she brought was also unexpectedly liked by these two.

This kind of dim sum is not only beautiful in style, but also unique in taste, glutinous rice is soft and glutinous, bean paste is sweet, small lotus seeds, pink lotus petals, and this cold cake is full of lotus fragrance, which is really refreshing and delicious.

Seeing this, Mrs. Dai immediately whispered to her mother next to her, went to find pen and ink, and wrote a copy of the dim sum recipe silently, and when she drank tea after the meal, she took out the recipe and gave it to Cui Wanqing.

This generous move immediately won Cui Wanqing's sincere thanks and Cao Tang's joyful applause.

Seeing these two young ladies, the big one is dignified and gentle, and the small one is lively and cute, who can not like such a fairy-like Peugeot person?

was the next request made by Cui Wanqing, and Mrs. Dai readily agreed, without any stumbling blocks. (To be continued......)
