Chapter 373: Meeting Gift

Of course, Shang Ruonan didn't know about this, but looking at the kind of gaze that this Kou Pearl occasionally threw at him, he felt that he had done something wrong. Why did she look at her eyes so disgusted?

After all the salutations were done, everyone sat down again. Madame Kou was the first to speak:

"It's neat today, and both sisters have come to our house."

Mrs. Murong stretched out her hand and pulled Shang Ruonan and said:

"I've been thinking about it for a long time, and Wakao came. They were here for the county lord's wedding. ”

"Attending the county lord's wedding? When will the wedding of the county lord and the prince send invitations to a small business? Oh, I see, because both of you sisters are engaged to the two youngest princes, that's why I sent you an invitation. ”

Madame Kou raised her voice and said in surprise. Shang Nianlan and Shang Ruonan knew that she looked down on the business, but they didn't expect it in front of the old lady. She also spoke so harshly.

Shang Ruonan smiled sideways, and said with a slight salute:

"Thank you, Madame Cole, for helping us find the cause. To be honest, after receiving the county lord's post, our sisters thought that it was because I helped the county lord order a wedding dress, so the county lord invited us to attend her wedding. Now I know that it is because of the Chengde Marquis Mansion and the Murong Marquis Mansion. ”

Shang Ruonan's words made Mrs. Kou look at her twice, and the meaning of these words is also very deep!

We received the invitation because we helped the county lord order a wedding dress. The county lord looks up to us, so he gave it to us, which is also our glory and earned by our sisters.

If you want to say that it is related to our fiancé, then it is right, but that is also the face of the Chengde Hou Mansion and the Murong Hou Mansion, and it has nothing to do with your town Xihou Mansion. You're also over-controlling.

Mrs. Murong couldn't understand this kind of turn, but when she heard about making wedding dresses, she immediately said happily:

"Mother, you haven't seen the wedding dress that Ruonan made for the county lord, it's really beautiful! Last time, Miss Lei's was also made by Ruonan, and I thought it was the most beautiful wedding dress. The county lord's set is also three points beautiful. ”

What girl doesn't love this kind of beautiful dress, especially a wedding dress, and which one doesn't want to have a beautiful wedding dress?

Not to mention anything else, the clothes that the merchant sisters are wearing today are so beautiful. Kou Pearl didn't want to admit that the merchant sisters were originally beautiful. But I think it's just that the clothes are good-looking.

Mrs. Kou hit a nail in Shang Ruonan's place, neither soft nor hard. This made her very unhappy. The old lady was happy, this little girl was fine, she was very good at talking and doing things. In this way, my daughter will also have someone to protect her, and my daughter has always been the kind of person who has been bullied and doesn't know about it in her social life in Beijing.

But the old lady has seen a lot of this kind of battle, but her face does not show any fluctuation at all.

He only turned his head to Tan Shi and said:

"Xuemei, on the day of the county lord's wedding, you should also go for a walk. Get to know the people on these scenes, don't worry, I'll go too. ”

The diplomacy of the Kou family has always been Mrs. Kou's, because of the death of her three sons, Mrs. Kou has not appeared in public for many years. Of course, she still has to meet the people who come to see her at home. But this time, in order for this eldest daughter-in-law to open up the situation among the noblewomen in Beijing, she will also come out of the house.

Plus, now she can raise her eyebrows. This time, although the titles of the three sons were posthumously sealed, at the same time, the second elder was also crowned as the super-grade Marquis and Mrs. Hou. Originally, the emperor wanted to be crowned the prince of the country, but the old marquis refused. said that the Kou family had two marquis, which was enough.

Hearing that the old lady was also going, Mrs. Kou said with some surprise:

"Oh mother, you didn't say it earlier. I've only got the clothes for us here. ”

Because generally participating in this kind of thing, they will still wear new clothes, firstly, it is a sign of respect for the owner's family, and secondly, it is also a manifestation of their own status.

The old lady waved her hand lightly and said:

"You don't have to prepare clothes. I have clothes. This is the marriage of the prince, and we don't need to wear other clothes, as long as we wear formal clothes. "Okay

The formal dress that the old lady said was the clothes that Mrs. Hou wore when she entered the palace. This has nothing to change, as long as everyone has the same grade, the pattern and shape of the clothes are also the same. It's just that everyone wears a different temperament.

Being blocked by the old lady like this, Mrs. Kou smiled and said:

"Then let's do it, I'll send a set of noodles to my mother."

"No, those are for you young people, and I'm only comfortable with these silver ornaments. I'm old, I don't need that anymore. ”

"By the way, go get that red box of mine."

Speaking of jewelry, the old lady thought that she hadn't given the two granddaughters-in-law a meeting gift, so she hurriedly asked Mama Meng to take out her red box.

As soon as Mrs. Kou heard that the old lady was holding the red box, her eyes were a little unpleasant, and she glanced at the two business girls, it seemed that the old lady was going to give something.

It's just that, as far as she knows, the things in the old lady's red box are all super good things, and she wants to give them to herself in the future, but she didn't expect that the old lady will give them to these two now.

Mama Meng took a little girl to the back room and took out a red box, which looked like a small wooden box that had been used for many years. The old lady opened the red box with the key she was carrying.

Suddenly, Shang Ruonan felt like a light emanating from there, it seemed that it was full of treasures.

The old lady took out a necklace from it, all of which were big pearls, mainly because pearls of that size were hard to find, and they had to be the same size. It's even harder to find. This thing is a good thing, even if Shang Ruonan has not seen anything good, he knows the goods.

The old lady looked up at the house, and exclaimed:

"You, come here, your name is Ruonan, right? This is an old woman's gift to you. ”

Shang Ruonan was flattered and bowed deeply:

"Thank you, old lady, it's just that this one is too precious."

"Whether it's expensive or not depends on who follows this thing, give it to you, and you can take it. In the future, I will be filial to my daughter, and I will be content. She has suffered all her life. ”

"Mother!"

Hearing her mother say this, Kou Baoyu's eyes turned red, and her voice was a little choked.

Shang Ruonan nodded seriously and said:

"Madame is very nice and loves me very much. I will love her very much, too! ”

"Well, that's good, this pearl necklace was given to me by my mother back then, and now I'll give it to you."

Shang Ruonan straightened his clothes, bowed deeply, and then took it with both hands

"Thank you, old lady!"

Shang Ruonan retreated to Kou Baoyu, Kou Baoyu reached out and took it, put it on Shang Ruonan, and said:

"You wear this just right, with your little face, it looks really good."

"I think too!"

Shang Ruonan really liked this greeting gift, put it on, reached out and stroked it, and then gently put it inside the collar, so that it would be better protected.
