Chapter 262: Jade Pendant
Fang Hanniang has always been smart and has an excellent memory, and she was not crushed by this large number of names, and tried her best to remember the situation of your uncles, aunts, cousins, nephews, and nieces for a long time.
The old lady felt sorry for her and said, "It's okay, it's nothing if you can't remember it for a while, the coming day is long, it's all a family, take your time, take your time." ”
Fang Hanniang smiled slightly: "Grandmother don't worry, I've already written it down." ”
She thought that she would have to explain to the old lady about her excellent memory, but who knew that the old lady was surprised: "Han'er is really like your mother, and your mother is so smart when she is young, and she will never forget it...... Alas, it's a pity that Huiji will hurt ......"
Seeing that the topic was about to deviate to the old lady's sad place again, Fang Hanniang tried to pull the topic back and made a distressed look: "...... Grandmother, you said that I have three nieces and two nephews, and I haven't prepared a gift yet......"
The old lady of Pingguo laughed, nodded Fang Hanniang's forehead affectionately, and said deliberately: "My family is worried about the things that your grandmother has on hand, and I haven't met yet, so I will search things from my grandmother for your nephews and nieces first!" ”
Fang Hanniang took the opportunity to joke with the old lady of Pingguo.
The ancestors and grandchildren were happy, the green warbler held a box in her arms, and the mother-in-law who followed behind also held a box in her arms, and the two approached: "Old lady, bring something." ”
The old lady of Pingguo nodded casually: "Open it, put it on the table, and let you Miss Biao pick a few things to fit your eyes." ”
The green warbler should be, and the woman carefully put the box in her arms on the table, opened the lid of the box, and the things in the box were shining with light.
Fang Hanniang couldn't help but hold her breath.
It is true that she is not greedy, but she is a jade lover, and when she saw so many jade jewelry in front of her at once, her eyes were spent, and a pair of black and dazzling eyes became more and more exciting.
When Ping Guogong saw Fang Hanniang's appearance, he knew that she liked this bite very much, and it was really the same as her mother. The old lady looked at Fang Hanniang's eyes more and more happy, and said again and again: "Nannan, these boxes are all the jade I have accumulated for your mother over the years, and I wanted to bring them to the ground for her, but now that I have you, it is naturally yours......"
The old lady of Pingguo simply pushed the entire box in front of Fang Hanniang.
Fang Hanniang was really scared now.
Her grandmother was also too wealthy. This box of beautiful jade, of excellent quality, is a priceless treasure, and was pushed in front of her by her grandmother at will.
Fang Hanniang calmed down and pushed the box back, she was afraid that such a refusal would cause her grandmother to be sad, so she hurriedly picked a jade comb in the box, and a jade step shake, shook it in front of the old lady of Pingguo, and said with a smile: "Grandmother, I like these two things very much, you can give it to me." ”
Seeing that Fang Hanniang liked the things in this box so much, Mrs. Pingguo could restrain her liking and only picked two of them, she was really a rare good child.
The old lady became more and more fond of Fang Hanniang, and her heart was still full of pride, she really deserved to be Qingqing's daughter, and she had a good character.
In fact, because the old lady of Pingguo is partial to Fang Hanniang right now, even if Fang Hanniang empties the two boxes, the old lady will probably be very proud to think, my granddaughter is really knowledgeable.
Several big girls surrounded Fang Hanniang dressed up, and the old lady sat on the soft collapse outside and waited, holding a cup of ginseng tea in her hand and putting it down, and she didn't even take a sip when it was cold.
The green warbler was waiting on the side, and she smiled: "Since Miss Watchman came, the old lady's spirit has also improved a lot. ”
The old lady was very proud: "That's it, such an excellent granddaughter, I have good luck, can I not be in good spirits?" ”
Lu Ying boasted: "What the old lady said is very true, speaking of which, there are so many daughters in Xijing, I have never seen a better looking lady than our cousin." ”
As she spoke, she helped the old lady change a cup of ginseng tea.
The old lady's interest was provoked by the green warbler, and the enthusiastic green warbler began to praise Fang Hanniang, and the cup of warm ginseng tea was drunk unconsciously, and the green warbler secretly kept paying attention, and was relieved.
The old lady is old, and she must drink some ginseng tea from time to time to replenish her spirit.
After a while, there were different exclamations from behind the screen, and the old lady heard it, and became more and more unable to hold back: "My good girl, come out quickly and let my grandmother see it." ”
Fang Hanniang responded crisply behind the screen and walked out.
The moment she appeared from the screen, the whole room suddenly fell silent, and the needles could be heard on the ground.
The girl wore a long gown with a white plum placket, a long coat of cloud white soft silk rolling branches and lotus flowers, a simple bun on her head, and only a water head was inserted in the middle of the bun, and the water-green beads hung down, reflecting the black hair to add a bit of charm, like a fairy in the clouds.
The girl's plain makeup swept the pink delicacy, and the moth eyebrows were slightly painted, and the original appearance of the country and the city was reflected in the light and elegant makeup.
The old lady wiped her eyes with a handkerchief for a long time, and she was sad and relieved: "My good girl, when you first came out, I thought your mother was back." ”
Fang Hanniang walked over and pulled the old lady's sleeve and smiled: "Grandmother, do you think I'm so good-looking?" ”
The old lady was very proud: "The beauty of my family is incomparable." ”
She looked at Fang Hanniang carefully, and always felt that something was missing. The old lady thought about it for a long time, and then seemed to think of something, her eyes lit up, and she shouted to the green warbler: "Go to my bedside, that brocade box, and take out the jade pendant." ”
At this time, the green warbler was not only surprised by the old lady's envoy to get the "funeral goods" that had been prepared a long time ago, but the surprise on her face couldn't be suppressed, and she lost her voice and said: "The old lady ......"
She knows that Fang Yupei, it has been passed down from generation to generation by the old lady's mother's family, and it has been passed down from woman to man since ancient times, which is very precious.
Because she had no daughter, the old lady originally wanted to pick a great-granddaughter and give it out before she died.
The old lady didn't get angry when she saw the green warbler like this, she just repeated: "Go and get it." ”
The green warbler did not dare to disobey the old lady's wishes, so she answered in a whisper and hurried to the inner room.
Fang Hanniang was a little confused, but looking at the situation, it seemed that the old lady wanted to give her something, and that thing was extremely precious.
It's not just something that the elders can't leave.
Fang Hanniang hesitated, and was about to speak, but the old lady pretended to be angry, and said angrily: "The old woman is a lot old, and the things are all saved by her own hard work, can't I give them away?" ”
What can Fang Hanniang say?
She could only smile wryly.
The green warbler walked over cautiously with a rare treasure in both hands, and the old lady also took out the flying phoenix jade pendant from it very preciously.
Fang Hanniang was shocked.
The phoenix, which is a symbol of good luck among the people, is not as exclusive to the royal family as the dragon. Many ornaments that express blessings often have the image of a phoenix.
Fang Hanniang was not surprised because this was a phoenix pendant.
Rather, this jade quality is really something she has never seen, and the jade quality is transparent, as if there is water flowing in it, which is amazing.
The old lady cautiously wanted to give the jade pendant to Fang Hanniang to her waist: "Your waist, it's just this jade pendant." ”
This jade pendant, even if Fang Hanniang can't understand its value, she can also know that this is an extraordinary product!
Fang Hanniang didn't dare to make a big move to refuse, for fear that she would accidentally let the old lady break the jade pendant, so she said stiffly: "Grandmother, if you put it on me, I won't be able to walk." ”
The old lady was old, her fingers trembled a little, and she didn't give Fang Hanniang a good piece of it after wearing it for a long time, and said with a smile: "Nannan, you are grandmother's heart and liver, no matter how precious this jade pendant is, it is not as good as you in the eyes of grandmother." I put it on you because you are missing such a jade pendant around your waist, which is no different from an ordinary jade pendant, but it has a longer history. ”
The old lady simply called out to the green warbler: "You help me put it on Miss Biao, this person, he is old, and his fingers are a little disobedient." ”
The green warbler responded respectfully, carefully took the jade pendant in the old lady's hand, and put it on Fang Hanniang's waist properly.
The old lady asked Fang Hanniang to take a few steps back to see the effect.
Fang Hanniang sighed in her heart, thinking that the matter had come to this, so she would wear it, and she couldn't let her grandmother down because of a jade pendant.
She adjusted her mind, took a step back generously, and turned around for the old lady to take a closer look.
The old lady saw that Fang Hanniang was wearing such a precious thing, and she could be so open-minded, and she liked Fang Hanniang even more in her heart, and praised it repeatedly: "Good, good, great!" My good girl, no one can compare! ”
Fang Hanniang smiled bitterly.
……
In fact, there was a matter of Miss Cousin in Ruan's mansion, and there was already a rumor in the mansion.
It was also because the old lady thought that this was a great joy, so she didn't go to cover it up, and later spread the word to all the rooms and courtyards, asking them to come over and have dinner together in the evening.
This actually shows the old lady's attitude: she attaches great importance to that young lady.
The ladies and wives in each room did not dare to slack off, and prepared a beautiful and heavy meeting gift early in the afternoon, and dressed up separately, making sure to be dignified and formal, reflecting that they attached great importance to the appearance of this young lady, so that the old lady felt comfortable.
The owner of the big house, Anping Weng, looked at her husband who came back from the yamen early, that is, the prince of Pingguo, and couldn't help asking, "That Miss Biao...... It's true? ”
The prince of Pingguo turned around solemnly, nodded, and said to Lord Anping Weng cautiously: "...... I went to my father's place to ask before, and I heard that it was the eldest daughter of my little aunt, and her appearance was excellent. ”
Although Lord Anping Weng is a virtuous wife, as a mother, she still can't help but say: "...... Could it be better than the appearance of our fragrant family? ”
Xiangxiang is the eldest daughter of the same son of Anping Weng, although she is only thirteen years old this year, she is beautiful and has a good temperament, and she has always had a good reputation in Beijing, that is, she is young at the moment, otherwise she will have to break through the threshold.
