Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Gift List
How could Cui Wanqing not understand the key? In my heart, I feel that today's apprenticeship is right, and the smile on my face is like a March flower, and I see that it is more and more likable.
She pulled Zhao Ziying and said softly: "I brought it all, when I decided to visit the Han Mansion today, the third brother explained it early, except for Mrs. Han, there are also gifts in the rest of the rooms, Mr. Don't worry, I think Mrs. Han will be satisfied." ”
Zhao Ziying saw that she could understand her mind and was smart, so she couldn't help but gently stroke her shoulder and sighed lightly.
Immediately, he leaned forward slightly, and whispered to this disciple who was very close to his heart: "Don't you know, my uncle is an upright official, and he rarely interacts with people, even if he writes to that eye-catching adult, he always takes his character and gives it voluntarily, and never charges a penny for polishing the pen. ”
"And those who want to ask for words with real money don't even want to see a corner of paper, so the family just lives on his money and a few shop granges."
"This back and forth, the family's expenses are a little nervous, my aunt was originally short-sighted, very greedy for money, it stands to reason that at this time, the housewife should try her best to subsidize one or two, but she is becoming more and more stingy."
"If you want to say that this family is ugly, you can't be publicized, but first, you are already my disciple, and you will be close to each other in the future, and you will know about these short things in the parents sooner or later, and second, if you celebrate the New Year in the future, I am afraid that you will inevitably follow the teacher to come over to socialize one or two."
"The days to come will be long, let's make her heart rejoice now, lest she say something unpleasant behind her back."
Cui Wanqing had actually vaguely guessed a few points in her heart, after all, this old lady Han was the wife that Old Lady Han married when she was poor, and she was originally a girl from a Zhuang family.
The work in the field is a good hand, but she doesn't know a big word, and she can't take care of the director, when the family is poor, she is busy inside and out, and she can do it when she looks at it, but once the family has a big business, the abuse in her bones will be exposed.
Mr. Han had suffered a big loss on the word 'greed' of his wife, so he simply came to the bottom of the kettle to take a salary and not let her take advantage of it.
Cui Wanqing knew that the Han Mansion had closed its doors for a while, and it was not until the eldest son married the right lady of the Hanlin family and took over the housekeeping business, so he slowly got back into contact with people.
At that time, there were many rumors in the capital, all saying that Mr. Han was unwilling to go against his original intentions and write flattering banners to those officials with poor moral character.
No wonder men and women at this time love gossip, Cui Wanqing will know the secrets of the Han Mansion, although there is no meaning to look down, but I can't help but feel a little excited.
This matter is indeed not a glorious good thing, Cui Wanqing really didn't expect Zhao Ziying to be so straightforward to confess, which was simply and neat, which made her feel that the person in front of her was really acting in line with her heart.
In fact, in Cui Wanqing's heart, people who are greedy for money are the best ones to deal with, isn't it love money? Just give it, and you don't have to think about it.
As for the affairs of Mr. Han's family, she doesn't want to get involved, just get by on face, and if she wants to be so close to Mr. Han, she can't meddle in the family affairs of the Han family, so she is a disciple, doesn't she have to follow Mr. and walk in circles?
After a short exchange, the master and apprentice were down-to-earth, and went to the main house together, Yulan heard some words intermittently in the back, with her cleverness, it was not difficult to make up for the matter.
Other people's things, listen to it and lose it, more in the heart of the rejoicing, "Fortunately, yesterday's reward for people's purses is enough, otherwise today it would be a matter of looking at people's faces, my little master is now very rich in money, presumably it is not too difficult to buy noodles to live with an old lady." ”
How else do people like to say, what kind of master is there, what kind of maid is there?
Look at the careful thinking of the master and servant, is it quite similar?
Needless to say, this way into the Xinuan Pavilion where Mrs. Han was, all the maids and mothers who had received Cui Wanqing and his party did not smile.
Good guy, this young lady of the family is not bad, and she is very well-behaved, according to the level of the maid and mother, the number of the reward is also different.
But at the least, there are enough 100 big bucks, and the two housekeepers who came out to greet them in person received a sumptuous purse of two taels of silver each!
Guan Mother is also an old man next to Mrs. Han, when Mrs. Han was carried away by the silver, and she has been waiting for her for a while.
"Since that road has been completely cut off by my own master, I haven't won such a big reward for more than ten years, right?" My mother's hands trembled a little with excitement.
Another mother Xu who watched couldn't help but pout, secretly laughing at her for being a child, looking down on her for being white, and losing the face of her master.
This is Mrs. Han's right-hand man, she is the son of a family in the Hanlin Mansion, and she has seen it since she was very young, and she really doesn't look down on the money-greedy faces around these old ladies.
"It's a pity that the old man only wants the name of the boss, and he insists on letting the two families get married, but the result is good, I met a peasant woman and mother-in-law from the countryside, and I can't talk about it, and I still hold on to the money and don't let go."
"On weekdays, I only let my wife work as a coolie and be an old feudal lord by myself, but I pity my wife, and I have to make up one or two from my dowry from time to time, what is this called?"
I knew that this was the case, I should have listened to the words of our old lady back then, and I shouldn't have married such a person, if it weren't for the fact that my eldest man was still sensible and had always really loved my wife, otherwise, I would really regret breaking my intestines. Mother Xu complained in her heart for a while.
Soon the attention was attracted by Cui Wanqing, in her opinion, such a dignified and generous young lady of the family is a person from her own family, and then looking at Cui Wanqing's pleasing appearance, she feels very close, and her eyes are almost glued to Cui Wanqing's body.
Cui Wanqing was so strange by her, people's hearts were separated from their stomachs, she really couldn't guess, what did this mother mean by burning eyes and constantly examining herself?
Yun's mother followed the side, let Yulan in front to help Cui Wanqing, and followed behind with Yingqiao, at this time, when she looked at this mother surnamed Xu, how could she feel comfortable looking at her master like this?
took two steps, turned his face and talked happily to Mother Xu, coincidentally, he half-hid Cui Wanqing beside her, Mother Xu saw her like this, and she also knew that she was out of shape, so she quickly put away her thoughts and concentrated on talking to Mother Yun.
Although there is a lot of age difference between these two people, they both do the same errands, and they are both shrewd and capable, and they talk quite deed.
Today, take a look at the Xinuan Pavilion, there are still a lot of people, there is an elderly lady sitting cross-legged on the big kang near the window, wearing a purple chrysanthemum gown, a white hair smeared with I don't know how much oil, and the light can be seen combing a full moon sideburns.
The sideburns are hairpinned with red gold agate heads, and the forehead is embroidered with a beaded forehead embroidered with five-colored plums, the face is not white, the face is covered with folds, but the eyes are very bright, not like a foolish person who has no success.
Cui Wanqing knew that this must be Mrs. Han, and sure enough, Zhao Ziying pulled her forward to salute, and then saw the elders surrounding her, and then met the sisters of the same generation.
Mother Yun saw the opportunity, stepped forward with the gift list, and said with a smiling face: "The slave has seen the old lady, ladies and gentlemen, this is a little bit of the heart of the ninth lady of my family, please accept the old lady." ”
As soon as she heard this, Mrs. Han, who had been holding the shelf, changed her eyes, and a smile appeared, "Oh, I'm here, I'm here, what kind of gift did I take, it's too outside, it's too outside." ”
Between the words, he hurriedly gave Guan's mother a look, and motioned for this person to take the gift list, but who expected that it was a step slower and was taken by Xu's mother who was nearby.
She took the list, and opened it according to the rules, and the gift list was written clearly and clearly, Mrs. Han got the gift, Mrs. Han got the courtesy, and the young lady in each room got the courtesy.
Cui Wanqing's gift is not thin, as Mother Xu reads it down one by one, the faces of all the ladies and ladies can't help but be happy, but Mrs. Han's face is getting more and more ugly, secretly hating her mother for being an old woman, she is old and slow, and she has lost her rare windfall.
Cui Wanqing greeted the young lady of the Han family beside her, and at the same time paid attention to the expressions of the people in the room, and couldn't help but smile secretly, sure enough, the people around Mrs. Han were skilled, don't look at it, it's just a gift list.
The name here is not small, if the person who received the gift list just now is the mother, then it will definitely not be read out in public, but not read out, when it is time to distribute the gifts, how much each family sends, and it is not Mrs. Han who has the final say?
And Xu's mother's answer, a thought, is known to everyone, it is impossible to give less, of course, Xu's mother's action is beneficial to Cui Wanqing, Cui Wanqing saw that Mrs. Han and her husband had a good conversation, and her heart was even better.
The lunch that followed was placed in the small flower hall, the place was spacious, there were six tables, the dishes were quite neat, according to the rules of hospitality, dried fruits, snacks, cold dishes, hot dishes, there was no shortage, and it was considered comprehensive.
But is this the atmosphere of the meal? It's really similar to what Cui Wanqing thought in her heart, the old and greedy mother-in-law, the generous and forbearant daughter-in-law, can't lack the sword and sword shadow in the open and in the dark.
Because Mrs. Han ruined Mrs. Han's good deeds, Mrs. Han, who saw countless good things slipping away, felt uncomfortable scratching with the cat, she was really panicked, and the delicacies of the mountains and seas in front of her were like chewing wax in her mouth, and she couldn't eat any good taste.
