Su Shi was shocked: "What are you doing here?" ”

Mama Ruan pointed to a few subordinates and said with a smile: "If Mrs. Zhao San doesn't want to be treated like this, just shout." Anyway, it's far from the main hall, and no one can hear you even if you shout through your throat. ”

The Suiping Bo Mansion has a large area, and the front is an outer courtyard for study and guest rooms. To get to the main hall, you need to walk through a long corridor, and the Su family is making trouble here again, and the people inside can't hear it.

Su's face changed and changed, and finally sighed: "Why bother." I'm not here to make trouble. The third master forced me to come, I couldn't do anything, I just came to go through the motions. ”

Mama Ruan didn't believe her, and pointed to a road in front of her: "Then Mrs. Zhao San will go to the guest house and sit down." After the girl's salute was completed, Mrs. Zhao San went back. ”

"Okay." Su nodded briskly.

She didn't need to be urged by Mama Ruan, she walked straight to that road, and said as she walked: "But I want to meet the eldest lady." After the ceremony, can I see her? ”

Mama Ruan waved her hand and asked the mother-in-law to follow Su's maid and mother-in-law, and then responded to Su's words: "I can't be the master of this." But I'll tell you to Madame. ”

Su Shi didn't speak again, and honestly followed Mama Ruan to a remote guest house.

It's a bit further from the main road. Even if the guests left the Suiping Bo Mansion after participating in the ceremony, the Su clan would not be able to run to the road to cause trouble.

At the other end of the main hall, Zhao Ruxi changed his skirt and came out, and saluted his parents and thanked them for their nurturing grace.

The old lady of the Weiguo Mansion once again cleaned her hands and began the second salute.

She took the hairpin from Zhao Ruyu's plate and chanted loudly: "Jiyue Lingchen, Nai Shenerfu." Respect for the majesty, the grace of the soot. Eyebrows live for 10,000 years, and will always be blessed by Hu. ”

She walked up to Zhao Ruxi, removed her hairpipe, and put a hairpin on it.

Xiao Ruotong stepped forward symbolically to straighten the hairpin.

Zhao Ruxi got up and saluted, and then went back to the east room to change into a curly deep coat that matched the hairpin on his head. Come out to thank Kang Shilin and Mrs. Cui for their teachings.

The old lady of the Weiguo Mansion cleaned her hands again, gave Zhao Ruxi a hairpin, and replaced it with a hairpin crown. Zhao Ruxi went to the east room to change into a long-sleeved dress. Bow to the palace.

At this time, the ceremony is not over, and the toast is still to be made, and the parents give words and listen to the training.

Although the etiquette stipulates that the parents give the word, but Kang Shilin has given Zhao Ruxi the word, and one day as a teacher, a lifetime as a father, Kang Shilin is highly respected, Zhao Ruxi is as heavy as a mountain, Zhao Yuanxun asked Kang Shilin to give Zhao Ruxi the word, Kang Shilin wrote down the word "Zhiwei".

After watching the ceremony, Zhao Yuanxun took the male guests to the side hall and set up a banquet to entertain them. Today happens to be Mu Xiu's day, but there are still things in Wuhuai Temple and Gongcheng Yamen, and I took time to come here today, and I didn't eat, so I said goodbye and left first.

However, Wu Zong has been staying in Suiping Bofu with his master.

The female guests were greeted by the old lady and the Zhu family into the inner courtyard and ate in the hall of the inner courtyard. After the meal, everyone chatted for a while, and then said goodbye and left.

Zhu asked people to move all the gifts into Zhao Ruxi's room, and advised: "You have registered these gifts and locked them in the warehouse and safe." ”

"Okay, mother." Zhao Ruxi said with great interest.

Although it takes time, she still likes to open the gifts.

Yi Cui stayed on the side for a long time, listening to the list of gifts, Zhao Ruxi looked at the real thing, Qingfeng registered, and estimated the price of the gift in the same way, she couldn't help smacking her tongue, and said to Zhao Ruxi: "Girl, these gifts add up, I'm afraid it won't cost tens of thousands of taels of silver." No wonder the rich and noble love to hold banquets so much. ”

Although the banquet also has to be held to entertain the guests, the chicken, duck and fish are all sent from Zhuangzi; Even if you buy some expensive ingredients, plus various expenses, it won't cost you a thousand taels of silver. Receive a gift and you can get it back. Everything else is all earned.

Mama Yuan couldn't help but laugh when she heard this childish words.

"It's true that holding a banquet and receiving gifts is to make money, but you haven't counted the gifts we give when we go to other people's banquets?"

She lit the booklet in Qingfeng's hand: "Why do you want to make a book?" One is to know how many valuables you have in your hands, so that people don't know if they steal them. Second, it is also to remember the debt of favors. The gifts that the girl received will have to be returned in the future. ”

"Don't say anything else, just the Patriotic Mansion. Every year, the old lady of the Weiguo Mansion celebrates her birthday, as well as the weddings and funerals in their mansion, and various banquets, and the lady does not know how many gifts she goes out. The one they sent this time is only a part of the return, and our house is still at a loss. ”

"Then our old lady and lady can also hold a birthday banquet." Yi Cui Road.

Mama Yuan sighed: "Our house can't compare to them." Therefore, the gifts we gave in the past are valuable, and the gifts they return are average, which is in line with their status. This time they gave more expensive gifts, what do you say? It's just that seeing that our girls are promising, maybe they will be more respectful than them in the future, and now they will start burning the cold stove. ”

As soon as he said this, not to mention the two little maids Yicui and Dianjiang, even Qingfeng was shocked. But I think it's normal.

Isn't that what the world is all about? The Patriotic Mansion is still good, and some people are more powerful.

Holding high and stepping on low is the norm in the circle of the powerful.

Zhao Ruxi smiled: "It's not all like that. At least my master, senior brother, Sister Ruotong and the Xu family, and the two sisters and uncle's family are not like this. ”

"That's right." Mama Yuan hurriedly said, "These people really love the girl and hope that the girl is good." The gifts are genuine. ”

……

In the guest courtyard, Zhu sat opposite Su and looked at Su with a shocked face: "Are you serious? Is he really so mad? ”

Su Shi couldn't help crying: "I didn't expect it either. I have shared a bed with him for more than ten years, and he used to pretend to be affectionate, coaxing me to give him money and run for him. If I don't have enough money, I'll go back to my parents' house and ask for it. We also have a pair of children. I didn't expect him to lose his conscience so much in order to covet my dowry, and wanted to put me to death. ”

She covered her mouth with a handkerchief so that she wouldn't cry out: "If it weren't for Grandma Sun reminding me, I wouldn't know how I really died." ”

Zhu glanced at Mama Sun, who was standing behind Su.

Mama Sun is the companion of the Su family, and she is very loyal to the Su family, so the Zhu family naturally can't directly buy Mama Sun. But this did not prevent her from finding Grandma Sun alone when she was separating, giving her vaccinations, and asking her to pay attention to Zhao Yuankun, in case he had a high official status, disliked the Su family, and used methods against the Su family.

Mama Sun is loyal to the Su family, and she knows that the Zhu family is a person, even if there is a conflict between the two governments, the Zhu family will not say this for no reason. So she listened to this, and carefully watched out for Zhao Yuankun after the separation.
