Chapter 18 Opening a Shop
Fang Wan nodded knowingly, got up and took out a small handkerchief.
"Sister Jiaoniang, my cousin doesn't have anything to give you, a little heart."
A fat puppy rolling hydrangea was embroidered on the plain handkerchief, and it seemed that this cousin Wan's embroiderer was not bad.
For the sake of the good pattern, Jiao Niang took it happily.
"Ahem, ahem, Qianniang, didn't you also prepare a gift for Jiaoniang."
Fang Qian was still there with her head down and rubbing the jade bracelet given by the second lady just now, she had never seen a bracelet in such good condition.
Hearing Mrs. Fang speak, she was so frightened that she hurriedly stuffed the bracelet back into her sleeve.
"Yes, yes, I brought a gift to my sister, oh, this is my favorite bunny stud earrings, for you."
The little rabbit earrings that Fang Qian held in her hand seemed to have been used for a while, and the color was not very good-looking.
Jiao Niang didn't bother to say anything now, smiled and took it, turned around and gave it a drizzle.
Mrs. Fang glared at Fang Qian fiercely, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Hehe, it's all sister's heart, heart, that one brought the gift I prepared." ”
Outside the door, a woman brought in a long brocade box tied with a yellow ribbon.
Jiao Niang looked curiously, she had never seen such a box, in the past, the box they used to hold gifts was either sandalwood or huanghuali or other wood, and this shape of the box was also the first time to see it.
Madam Fang untied the ribbon with a smile, and when she opened the box, there was a purple rose lying inside, and the petals seemed to be sprinkled with broken gold leaf.
"Hey, is this flower real or fake?"
Jiao Niang asked curiously, and touched it lightly with her hand, as if it was a real petal.
Fang Wan covered her mouth and smiled: "It's a real flower, but it can be stored for a long time." ”
Fang Qian's eyes widened as she watched Jiao Niang from the side, and she couldn't help but feel a trace of pride in her heart, finally there was something that Jiao Niang had never seen.
So she smiled and said, "Sister Jiaoniang, how is it compared to your silk flowers?" ”
Jiao Niang sighed "hmm" and said, "Naturally, this one is more vivid." ”
Jiao Niang is sincere, but Fang Wan glanced at Fang Qian beside her, what is it, no matter how good this dried flower is, can it still be her own? Can you eat it? Can I wear it? She still wants to pick out a few fashionable silk flower jewelry from Jiao Niang today.
Mrs. Fang didn't want Fang Qian, who was shallow-eyed, to offend her sister-in-law by speaking again, so she said with a smile: "It's good if Jiao Niang likes it, oh, you sisters go play." ”
The visitor was a guest, so Jiao Niang had no choice but to get up and go out with Fang Wan and Fang Qian.
She decided, so she took them to wander around the garden, and never returned to her yard again, otherwise she would not be able to keep her things.
Mrs. Fang watched a few people go out, looked at the second lady's slightly cold face, and said with a smile: "Auntie and grandma are still angry, in fact, my mother also feels embarrassed, but I can't pull my face down and tell you, no, remember Jiao Niang's birthday, just send me over, my mother is also for the sake of my aunt and grandmother, this eldest girl is married, isn't the eldest aunt and grandmother the only family, don't you have any worries......"
"Sister-in-law, I treat you as my mother's family, so I never turn around when I speak, Yan Yan is my own general, in this case, sister-in-law should not say it again in the future!"
The second lady sank her face, when the lady had just passed away, it was her sister-in-law who instigated her mother to come to the house to make trouble, and the meaning of the words made the prime minister help her to be her stepwife.
That scene was also seen by Yan Yan, the little girl was only ten years old, wronged, sad, sad, painful, that night, she was found in the rockery crack in the garden, the little figure, curled up in a ball, asleep with tears on her face.
At that moment, the second lady's heart was broken, she guarded Yan Yan for a day and a night, until she woke up with a fever, and the first sentence she told Yan Yan: "Yan Yan is good, Erniang will always be your Erniang, and your mother can't be replaced by anyone." ”
At that time, the prime minister was looking for Jia Ge'er all over the world, and he came back with blue and black eyes, it was already the third day, he hugged Yan Yan for a long time and did not speak, but later entrusted all the affairs in the house to the second lady, even if many people later tried to mention the prime minister's choice of stepwife, the prime minister firmly refused.
Later, Yan Yan never saw the Fang family again, and then the prime minister's wife's family came here to reprimand and curse, the little Yan Yan hugged her grandmother and cried heartbreakingly, and was thrown out by her grandmother, her forehead hit the corner of the coffee table, and the blood in the corner of her forehead fell on the corner of her eyes little by little, and her hand dripped on the ground like a demonic irise.
Later, Yan Yan seemed to gradually accept the fact that his mother died and his younger brother disappeared, and the whole person gradually calmed down, well-behaved and sensible, and had no heart and lungs to be happy, but gradually began to gain weight, more and more fatten......
Mrs. Fang slapped her mouth lightly, and said sneeringly: "Look at me, I'm really talking nonsense, but my aunt and grandmother also please dissipate your anger, you don't know, mother, she, she can't eat for several days......"
Mrs. Fang said as she wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.
"Mother is sick?" The second lady hurriedly turned around.
"Ah, that's not true, that is, isn't this something to do with my aunt and grandmother, and I don't have an appetite?"
Mrs. Fang hurriedly said, she came today, but her mother didn't know, if the eldest aunt and grandmother wanted to go back to visit the patient, it would be exposed!
"Later, my mother also heard that the eldest girl in your mansion is a fairy-like person, which is what the Shaoqing Mansion of Honglu Temple can match, isn't there that sentence? It was said outside that the eldest girl was shocked, and her mother also knew the difficulties of the eldest aunt and grandmother. ”
Looking at the second lady's gentle face, Mrs. Fang exaggerated what she heard outside, and sure enough, she saw the corners of the second lady's mouth hooked.
Alas, okay, okay, finally coaxed this aunt, Mrs. Fang breathed a sigh of relief, but secretly despised in her heart, she is really able to pretend to be a sister-in-law, she really feels sorry for that girl, why has she not shown her face for so many years, she is at this age, and she has not decided on a family affair, cut, the cat cries and the mouse is fake mercy!
However, she only dared to think about it.
"Auntie, do you see if this dried flower is quite rare today, and I have an even rarer one."
As she spoke, Mrs. Fang took out a small brocade box, still tied a bow with a ribbon, and when she opened it, there was a palm-sized mirror inside.
The amazing thing is that the mirror seems to be polished with something, transparent and clear, smooth and can clearly illuminate the figure, even the second lady has eaten too many spicy seeds in the past few days, and a small red pimple on her forehead can be seen clearly.
"Where did you get that?"
The second lady asked in surprise.
Mrs. Fang smiled mysteriously and asked first: "Auntie, you said that if you open a shop to sell these things, you may make a lot of money, right?" ”
