Chapter 7 Make face

Huang Yuyan's eyes were sparkling and said, "Wen Hui, you are so powerful, why didn't I find out before." I'm so bad compared to you. You say, can I learn from you, I can't say that I am as good as you, at least I can learn one-tenth of it. ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said: "What am I, it's just that I was promoted by the family, and I will gain power by fate, it's nothing?" But if you want to learn how to be a housekeeper and a businessman, I can teach you, and I won't be able to. You know, I can't even embroider a veil until now. ”

Huang Yuyan smiled, it seems that Chen Wenhui is not omnipotent. Then she remembered her home and said, "I won't have dinner with you." I'm going home, I still have children at home. It's been a day since I came out today, and if I don't go back, not only will my children miss me, but my mother-in-law will also be unhappy. Also, I'm going to hurry back and write a post to get our sisters together sooner. ”

Chen Wenhui thought about it for a while, so she said: "Then let Shuilian prepare a gift for you to bring back to your mother-in-law, it can be regarded as a piece of my heart." And your children. I won't keep you, it's important that you hurry back and make the next post. Also, go back and discuss with my brother-in-law about going to Nanyang. By the way, yes, if you have time these days, come to me more, our sisters haven't seen each other for a long time, and after a while, I still have something to do to leave Qingyang City, let's take this opportunity to see you more. ”

Huang Yuyan smiled and agreed, and did not postpone the gift prepared by Chen Wenhui, the relationship between her and Chen Wenhui, getting some things is also a trivial matter, this is Chen Wenhui giving her face in front of her mother-in-law. She had nothing but gratitude. Huang Yuyan said goodbye to Chen Wenhui and got into the carriage and returned to her home.

Leaving for a day, she first went to the backyard to see her son, the two-year-old son looked lively and cute, she was very pleased, said a few words to her son, and asked the nurse about the son's situation, after learning that a qiē was fine, she went back to her yard under the service of the maid to change her homely clothes, except for those cumbersome hairpin ring jewelry, after changing into homely jewelry. So I went to the upper room where my mother-in-law was.

Arrived at the upper room. Not surprisingly, his brother-in-law and daughter-in-law Sun were talking to her mother-in-law. From time to time, the laughter of the mother-in-law came out. Huang Yuyan paused, but still walked up the steps and saw the maid standing at the door. smiled and said, "Sister Yumei." Talk to your mother. I am back. ”

Yumei didn't dare to hold it up, so she hurriedly entered the door to say goodbye, and soon came out. He lifted the dark green cocoon curtain and said, "Grandma, please come in." ”

Huang Yuyan smiled and nodded to Yumei and walked into her mother-in-law's upper room. There is a sense of oppression here, as always. The mother-in-law was talking to her brother and daughter-in-law, and when she saw her come in, her face became stern, and she said, "You went to visit the county lord with your mother-in-law, why did you go for so long?" ”

Sun also asked curiously: "Sister-in-law, I heard that the county lord of Wenhui is the richest person in our Great Chu and the most powerful person, and these daughters of the family don't even care about the princess." This Wenhui county lord has never lived in his mother-in-law's house since he got married, and he has always lived in his own mansion, and his mother-in-law doesn't need to go to the province in the morning and dusk, right? ”

As soon as she said this, Mrs. Yan was immediately unhappy, she didn't like to hear such a thing of being unfilial to her mother-in-law. However, there is no way to do this, this is the law of the imperial court, and it cannot be criticized.

Huang Yuyan secretly scolded the Sun family in her heart, she was really a troublemaker, and she deliberately said this in front of her mother-in-law, which was really annoying. Thinking in her heart, Huang Yuyan has been married to the Yan family for so many years, and she has already experienced it, and she is not angry, she still has a smile on her face, and said: "Because our Yan family and my mother's Huang family are both affiliated families of the Xiao Chen family. Lord Wen Hui is here, and we ladies should visit. In this Qingyang City, many young girls and their relatives have handed over the prayer post, even the eldest aunt in the eldest uncle's family also handed over the worship post. But Lord Wenhui was impatient to socialize, so he pushed it all off, and only invited my mother and my two sisters-in-law, and I played with me when I was a child. ”

Huang Yuyan deliberately pointed out that the Yan family was an affiliate of the Xiao Chen family, and sure enough, jealousy flashed on Sun's face, and her mother-in-law, Mrs. Yan's face also slowed down, after all, the county lord of Wenhui can call the eldest daughter-in-law to go, which is already to give the Yan family face. Moreover, even the eldest lady of the long room has no way to see the county lord of Wen Hui, but the eldest daughter-in-law of the second room can accompany the county lord to eat, which is already a big face in the second room. For the eldest daughter-in-law who fought for her face, Mrs. Yan's face couldn't help but slow down.

Sun understood at a glance. This sister-in-law has no ability, but she just relies on her mother's power. Every time she competes with herself in front of her mother-in-law, she loses, but every time she wants to suppress herself with her background, she gets angry when she thinks about it.

Huang Yuyan continued: "The county lord is very kind, there is no frame at all, and his appearance is more beautiful than before. After eating, my mother took my two sisters-in-law back first. The county lord took me by the hand, and he would not let me go, and went with me to the inn where she lived, and chatted until now, and was supposed to leave me for dinner, but I said that there were still mothers and children to take care of at home, so she had no choice but to let me back. Tell me to go back to her tomorrow. By the way, the county lord heard that my mother was at home, so he specially asked me to bring a gift back to my mother. ”

Mrs. Yan was even happier when she heard this, and said, "The county lord is a product of the dynasty. It's much more official than your father-in-law. We weren't supposed to be able to get into such a character. However, you and her are in love at a young age, which is naturally unusual. She values you so much, I think your father-in-law will be happy to know about it. In fact, back then, I still met the county lord. That year, the elder brother of the county lord, the current city lord of Shinguang City on Yizhou Island, got married, and we all went to the wedding. At that time, I thought that the county lord was a kind person, and he looked good, just like a fairy in the sky. It's really different from the average lady. However, your father-in-law's official position is not high, and the county lord may not remember me, but he can still bring me gifts, which is really life-threatening. ”

Huang Yuyan knew as soon as she heard that her vain mother-in-law must have felt very honored for this, so she joked and said: "There are so many noble ladies in our Jiangnan, even my mother and the county lord did not give gifts, and the eldest aunt of the big house did not have this honor, so she gave a gift to her mother alone, in fact, I didn't see what it was, and it must be good to come to the county lord to make a move." Mother, do you want people to take a look at it now? ”

When Mrs. Yan heard that she actually had more face than her own mother and the eldest lady of the big house, she immediately became interested, and hurriedly said, "Come in and show me." ”

Although Sun despised her sister-in-law's approach in her heart, she was also very curious, and it was rumored that the wealthy Lord Wenhui would give her mother-in-law a gift for her generous shot. So, there is no idea to stop it.

After a while, the servant brought up the gift to Mrs. Yan, in fact, Huang Yuyan didn't know what it was, and when she brought it in, she realized that it was two bags of high-quality tea, snow buds in Sichuan. There are also two golden-looking materials, two boxes of dim sum from Qinghe Building, and two baskets of lucky oranges.

Sun's Guan Zhongfeng is the most familiar with the prices of various commodities, and at this time he couldn't help but go up and look carefully and said: "These two bags of tea are high-quality Sichuan snow buds, which are better than the tea I drank when I was a guest in Wanjiafu that day. How can these two bags have a catty, and Lord Wen Hui is really generous. Although this dim sum is not worth anything, this is a dim sum from Qinghe Building, which can't be bought with money, and it tastes very good, but it is never taken out, just given to familiar customers. Of course, Qinghe Building was opened by the county lord's mother's family. Naturally, you can get this kind of dim sum. It's a surprise to us. These two baskets of lucky oranges are also high-quality fruits, and this year's lucky oranges are extremely expensive, so how can they get twenty taels for these two baskets. And this satin wrapped, I can't see it, do you want to open it and take a look? ”

Huang Yuyan was also taken aback, why was Wen Hui so generous and the things she gave were so expensive? She thought it was just a normal gift for an ordinary visit, but it was just some fruits, snacks, ordinary tea and the like, where did she think it was so valuable?

However, Huang Yuyan's face was not obvious, but Mrs. Yan was moved, she couldn't sit still with such a valuable gift, and said to Sun: "You open it and take a look." ”

Sun didn't wait for the maid to do it, and opened the silk with his own hands, only to see a dark green pine crane to prolong the year, and a brown Baishou picture. The material is tightly textured, the color is smart, and it looks like a fine satin. Sun was a little surprised, looked at it for a while, found a mark on the corner of the satin and exclaimed: "Oh, this is actually a silk made by the Internal Affairs Office, no wonder the texture is so good." This is not easy to obtain, and there is really nowhere to buy it if you have money. In fact, such a high-grade silk will cost fifty taels and one horses in Jiangnan this year. What's more, it's made in this way, it's really expensive. ”

When Mrs. Yan heard this, she was also excited, and hurriedly leaned up and asked, "Really?" After saying that, he stroked it with his hand, looked at the mark again, and said, "It's really a made-in thing." This must have been given by the emperor to the county lord. I heard that the county lord's aunt is the queen's mother, and this palace is not the same as her family? It is also normal to have silk made of the top. Alas, I still saw the silk made once in a large family, and it was this mark and this texture that the family treasured at that time and used it as a dowry for their daughter. If others don't say it, even your aunt can't find such silk in the big house. ”

Huang Yuyan couldn't help but think in her heart, Wen Hui is really interesting, to save face for herself, she is so generous. What a sister. (To be continued......)
