Chapter 213: Borrowing Flowers to Offer Buddha
Knowing his head, Mingxiu looked at him with some complaint: "Why didn't you tell me earlier, where did I go to prepare the congratulatory gifts these days?" ”
"As long as I go with you, are you still worried about whether the congratulatory gift is good or not?" Xie Zhan smiled, recently he had a little criticism of his grandfather's family, but his grandmother's birthday banquet still couldn't help but give face.
And now, who in Tongdu City doesn't know that he and Mingxiu are about to get married?
At this time, he and Mingxiu went to congratulate him on his birthday, and it didn't matter if he didn't congratulate him.
But Mingxiu doesn't think so, "Where is the reason to come to the door empty-handed?" You're getting less and less successful. ”
Shaking his head in disgust, Mingxiu put him aside first, thinking about what he could get at home as a congratulatory gift.
If she remembers correctly, Ye Ziming brought two century-old ginseng sticks from the Southern Dynasty last time, and this time it may be used, and I don't know if the family will have opinions.
This kind of thing that can sustain life at a critical moment is very important for people at this time.
But Mingxiu didn't think so, the ginseng knew at a glance that it had been stored for many years, how much medicinal properties could still be left?
Instead of staying at home to give birth to worms and waiting for not knowing when they will be used, it is better to give favors.
It's not too late to wait for freshly prepared ginseng in the future.
Seeing that Mingxiu was distracted and didn't mean to pay attention to him, Xie Zhan shook his head with a smile, but he didn't bother with her, and turned around and left.
It doesn't matter if he has a congratulatory gift or not, where can he let Mingxiu really go empty-handed?
Regardless of whether Mingxiu has a congratulatory gift here, he has to prepare one in case he needs it.
Ming's father and mother knew that Mingxiu wanted to take ginseng as a congratulatory gift and didn't have many opinions, Ye Ziming didn't have any opinions, and Miao Manman, the only one who had an opinion, couldn't speak at this time, she was still shrinking in her own room, only Shilan came forward when she entered the door to serve tea.
"You haven't made a few sets of clothes this year, I'm afraid there will be a lot of banquets to attend in the future, if there are always a few formal clothes coming and going, I don't want to worry about it, and the people of the Splendid Pavilion will measure the size in a while, so many materials at home, I will make you two more new clothes."
Hearing her mother's words, Mingxiu's heart was warm, and at the same time, she couldn't cry or laugh a little, "Mother, I have a lot of clothes, my eldest brother and sister-in-law didn't make two clothes this year, let the people of Jinxiu Pavilion make them for them." ”
Every time I go home and get into the material, my mother is worried about making clothes for her, and she has already passed the time when she has grown her body, and her body shape has not changed much in the past few years, and the two big cabinets at home with more clothes are full, and she still does?
In fact, Ming's mother didn't think it was good for Mingxiu to attend the banquet without new clothes, she felt that women's families needed a lot of clothes, and Mingxiu would be out of the cabinet in a short time, so she thought about making two more clothes for her.
Although it is said that the clothes made by her marriage to the palace must be much better than theirs, but it is different.
What she arranged for Mingxiu was more for her mother's heart.
Speaking of Miao Manman, the smile on Ming's mother's face fell, "Can it be shorter than theirs?" You just have to be honest, what does your mother say, what do you do, and your mother is there at home. ”
Ming's mother is really a little annoyed by Miao Manman, and her family's many calculations are really annoying.
As a sister-in-law, I don't have the heart to sympathize with my mother-in-law, so what's the point of competing for favor with my sister-in-law during the day?
Could it be that if Mingxiu has one more clothes, she will be shorter?
Seeing that Ming's mother's face was not good, Mingxiu laughed dryly and changed the topic, "Mother, Shilan is still honest and didn't make trouble, right?" ”
What Mingxiu was worried about was nothing more than that Shilan saw that Miao Manman was disgusted at home, so she thought that she was Ye Ziming's only concubine, and she was disturbed by the family.
Although she looks quite honest, Mingxiu feels that no matter how honest a person is, she still has to watch and mention it from time to time, and she doesn't want to test people's hearts.
Originally, the human heart is the most untested thing.
Speaking of Shilan, Ming's mother finally showed a little smile, "You are a visionary, Shilan is still a duty, and there is nothing wrong with pouring tea and water at the front end of your brother and you, it's just ...... She came to ask me a few days ago, but do you have to wait in front of the young grandmother? ”
When Mingxiu heard this, the smile on the corner of her mouth faded a little.
Sure enough, Shilan is not as disciplined as they expected, but at least it looks okay now, and if she guides her well, she may not be able to meet their requirements.
"What did the mother say?"
"I said no, your sister-in-law is so ignorant, she should reflect on it in the room for a few days, and it's not too late to say anything else when she understands it."
Seeing that Mingxiu's face was a little ugly, Ming's mother hesitated for a moment and asked cautiously, "What's wrong with my mother saying this?" ”
"Naturally, there is something inappropriate." Seeing the melancholy on Ming's mother's face, Mingxiu's heart softened, and she said in a harmonious voice: "No matter what is wrong with my sister-in-law, she is my brother's main room, you support the concubine and disrespect the main room, this matter is ......"
Ming's mother was stunned, and couldn't help but be horrified, "At that moment, my mother went to explain it to Shilan." "Letting Shilan in the door is to make the family more disciplined, isn't her approach the source of the family's unrest at this time?
This is not appropriate, originally Shilan was already very dissatisfied with them when she entered the door, and there can be no more mistakes at this time.
"Don't worry, since you have already told Shilan, let her be comfortable for two days, wait for her sister-in-law to come out of the grounding, and then let Shilan serve before it is too late."
Where can Mingxiu watch Ming's mother rebel in front of her subordinates?
The source of the change of the order can't be opened, otherwise who can do things in peace?
"But ......" didn't Mingxiu say that her attitude towards Shilan was inappropriate? If you want to change it at this time, why can't it?
Mingxiu sighed, knowing that it was useless to tell Ming's mother that the allusion to the change of the dynasty was useless, so she pondered: "Sister-in-law is now in the ground, Shilancheng accompanies her eldest brother during the day, isn't it uncomfortable for my sister-in-law to see her in the spring breeze?" It's better to wait for her better, and then let Shilan serve in front of her, and let her sister-in-law put the eldest woman's money. ”
Hearing this, Ming's mother nodded the tip of Mingxiu's nose with amusement and anger, "What kind of spring breeze is full of faces, what can you say?" Don't talk about it anymore, you know what you mean. ”
After these things, Ming's mother couldn't help but feel secretly annoyed in her heart, she thought about things at home too simply, and often didn't have Mingxiu to be thorough, which was inappropriate.
Mingxiu will marry out sooner or later, and she will still have to be in charge of this family at that time, she has never been able to figure out the situation of the family, how good it will be when Mingxiu gets married.
Tell Ming's father to know this, but who knows that Ming's father doesn't care, "Xiu'er is out, can't you just leave it to your daughter-in-law to take care of?" If you look at it coldly, there is something wrong and correct it in time. ”
"Manman's like that......" Ming's mother was a little unhappy, she didn't like Miao Manman from the bottom of her heart.
"That's also Xiaobao's mother, Brother Ming's daughter-in-law!" Father Ming looked at her fixedly, "In the future, she will have to be a housekeeper sooner or later, instead of having a black eye later, it is better for you to help now, and let her learn more." ”
Miao Manman's background is not high, and no one has ever taught her how to take care of the house when she was in her mother's house.
That is, there are too many things after Miao Manman enters the door, otherwise Mingxiu would have wanted to discuss this matter with Ming's mother early.
As soon as she heard that her daughter also had such thoughts, Ming's mother immediately stopped talking.
Mingxiu's eyes will always see farther than him, and Ming's mother knows about this and is convinced.
Ten days have passed in a blink of an eye, and the birthday banquet is close at hand.
On the same day, Mingxiu changed his clothes and asked people to set up the carriage, but who knew that Xie Zhan came first.
"You are my future princess, so naturally you want to go with me."
Xie Zhan has been smiling with a spring breeze on his face these days, and he can't wait to say that he is going to marry someone, and his proud appearance makes people want to punch him.
However, there are really few people in the capital who are higher than Xie Zhan's status, so they can only congratulate them in a fake way.
Seeing what he said so directly, Mingxiu's face was slightly red, and he glared at him with disgust, "What nonsense." ”
He did not refuse, and obediently got into his carriage.
