Chapter 304: The Gap Between the Rich and the Poor
Mrs. Lin made it clear that she didn't believe her mother-in-law's words. To tell the truth, it's not that she underestimates her sister-in-law, it's really that her sister-in-law hasn't done anything that is recognized over the years.
The older generation of the Lin family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are like mother and daughter, Mrs. Lin put disbelief on her face, and the old lady taught her daughter-in-law: "Everyone has their own nature, some have good nature, and some people are bad." All colors and colors are good, which is very rare; Like your sister, there are basically no good ones, and there are not many. But even she is useful. Think about it, can she make herself suffer with that temperament? ”
Mrs. Lin didn't understand it yet.
Mrs. Lin reminded her: "Between Xiao Yu and Xiao Shang, she naturally values Xiao Shang. The Lin family and the Fu family, she is more towards us. Standing on the side of the Fu family and Xiao Yu, I naturally think that your sister will not come to trouble, on the contrary, Xiao Shang and our family think that your sister is still good. Now, Xiao Yu and Zijian, and then compare with the Li family, which one does she need to say? ”
Mrs. Lin understood, and immediately gave the old lady a thumbs up: "It's still a good mother." ”
Isn't it?
When the Lin family is eccentric, the bias is called a difficult one. It's something that Fu Shan can't face, and she will definitely be handy when she does it.
Seeing that she understood, Mrs. Lin whispered: "When you see Xiao Yu at night, you remind her one or two." ”
After Feng slept for a while, his spirit was much better, he didn't eat much at noon, and he accidentally ate dinner. Lin Jian was full of worries and didn't pay attention, but when Mrs. Lin saw it, she said, "Feng girl, accompany me to the courtyard for a walk." ”
When Fu Zhenyu heard this, he stopped the two and said, "The capital is not as good as Runing, and it is extremely cold at night. Sister-in-law, wait a minute, I'll have someone bring you a cloak. ”
In the past half a month, other things have not been prepared, and the clothes of the group have been prepared. Mrs. Lin had already sent it to her, and the maid got the order and took out the gray rabbit fur cloak that Fu Zhenyu had prepared for the Feng family.
Feng naturally excused himself.
Or Mrs. Lin said: "This is gray rabbit fur, it is very common, you can wear it." ”
Fu Zhenyu had already said to Mrs. Lin and the Lin family: "The embroidery lady of the Splendid Pavilion came over and tailored the New Year's clothes for the mother, grandmother and sister-in-law, which is my filial piety to the elders." However, I have to discuss with my father and brothers tomorrow, and I can't accompany you. Mother and grandmother don't have to worry, my aunt and the people in the Splendid Pavilion know each other, so you can find your aunt if you have something. ”
The Lin family is a mother-in-law, so it's okay to come to her daughter's house. Feng felt that his family was just a cousin, he took a car and boat into Beijing in vain, lived in such a good house, someone didn't care about three meals a day, and the clothes he took off in the afternoon, the maid also took them down to wash, he really didn't worry about everything, and he had to get clothes, he was very uneasy, and said to Lin Jian in the evening: "My sister wants to make clothes for us." ”
Lin Jian said: "Just do it, you don't want to learn from your little aunt." ”
Feng Shi was embarrassed not to speak.
Lin Jian said again: "What my sister gave Chang'an and Changsheng, have you seen?" ”
"I haven't had time to look yet. It's quite heavy, a box of about ten taels, and it's about the same as what I prepared. ”
Feng prepared two sets of clothes, shoes and socks for Li Xingzhuo, as well as solid silver bracelets and silver collars, which together were six taels and six. The same was true for the twins, and the gifts for the three children combined cost a total of thirty taels of silver. Feng was too tired in the afternoon, and felt that the amount was about the same, so he threw it aside. At this time, Lin Jian asked, and she took the two wooden boxes.
Be dumbfounded.
What she gave was silver, but what Fu Zhenyu gave was pure gold. Under the oil lamp, the golden object was so dazzling. Not only the gold locks and bracelets, but even the chains of the collar are all red gold, and there are two layers and two sets.
Feng Shi hurriedly opened another box and was relieved to see that it was an inkstone with no carvings on both sides.
Lin Jian said: "This is Duan Yan." The best inkstone, one side of ten gold. This, to say the least, also requires hardware. ”
Five taels of gold and twenty taels of silver, that's more valuable than the gift you gave out!
Feng was speechless.
Lin Jian patted his daughter-in-law's hand and said with emotion: "Do you think you are very poor?" ”
Feng nodded vigorously.
Once upon a time in Runing Mansion, she always felt that her in-laws' family was very wealthy. After moving to Yangjiazhuang, life was better, and her mother sighed more than once that she had a good life. She also always knew that this little aunt's family was rich. In the past, in Runing, my cousin always wore ordinary Confucian clothes and did not bring jewelry, except for the house was bigger and the food was better, she didn't have a particularly big feeling, at least not at the moment - the gap between the rich and the poor between the two families is too big!
Lin Jian lay on the warm kang and sighed with emotion: "You have to get used to it slowly." Think about your husband and me, I have lived in the rich uncle's house since I was a child, and the first two senior brothers, one is the grandson of Ge Lao, and the other is the son of the richest man in Jiangnan, the son of the Qian family. ”
Feng Shi thought about his words, and couldn't help but shudder, and said, "The husband is so pitiful! ”
Lin Jian was amused by her, rolling around on the hot kang, Lin Jian also said shamelessly: "Let's give birth to a girl, I don't have any sisters." ”
The next day, as Fu Zhenyu said, the embroidery lady of the Splendid Pavilion came to the door to measure and make clothes for everyone. When the embroidery lady came to the door, Su's mother led the maidservant girl and brought in a box of fabrics for the Lin family, the Feng family, and the old lady to choose. Only then did everyone know that the cloth of this splendid pavilion and the embroidery floor are separated, and customers can directly make ready-to-wear clothes, or they can take the fabric for processing.
Lin very unceremoniously chose four homely winter clothes, from underwear to jackets, none of them were left behind.
Seeing that she was not polite, Mrs. Lin was not polite at home, so she said directly: "You brought those clothes, so you can save them!" ”
Lin said that the clothes and materials brought were not as good as those brought by Su's mother, but when she saw that the old lady was unhappy, she swallowed the reason and begged: "Why don't you do two?" ”
When Mrs. Lin was displeased, Su's mother said, "It's time to do two." ”
After all the words were said, Su's mother simply said to the end: "Uncle's clothes are already being made, and the old lady is the same as his wife, she is also four sets of guests, two sets of homely things!" The old lady only chose a few pieces of cloth to come out. ”
Mrs. Lin said that she didn't want anything, and said: "I'm all this age, and I haven't been wearing clothes for a long time, so I have two sets of homely clothes, and then I can wear enough clothes to meet guests for the New Year." ”
In the end, Su's mother gave in and made two sets of home-cooked and two sets of visitors.
When she arrived at Feng's place, Su's mother conveyed Fu Zhenyu's meaning, two sets of guest and two sets of homely cooking. Feng didn't refuse bluntly, but went back to the house and took the fabric he brought, and said: "Use this for homely use, and also make two bodies for my sister, this is the cloth we weave at home, how much is the meaning." ”
Less takes advantage, and the meaning is different, Mrs. Lin is very satisfied with her granddaughter-in-law's performance.
The people of the Splendid Pavilion received all the fabrics and promised to deliver the finished products within a month. After the people left, Mrs. Lin, who was very uneasy, asked her daughter-in-law: "Old man, how much silver does the box of cloth cost?" ”
