Chapter 763: Family
Shi Qingqian understood that Xi Manwan was actually praising this camel hair blanket for being good, why didn't she know that this was the best grade? If it weren't for the blanket used for Yao'er at home, it would have been very good, and she would almost not be willing to give it away.
But after thinking about it, what did Bai Yueyi say is also a young lady from the Guogong Mansion, she has been pampered and raised all her life, no matter how precious an object is, how can she feel her sincerity if she apologizes if she doesn't find some rare objects that she has never seen?
Shi Qingqian turned his head to look at Xi Manwan and said with a smile: "Second sister-in-law, don't tease me, second brother has a lot of money, what good things does the second sister-in-law want?" Besides, I came to make amends because I burned the house and damaged my sister-in-law's wedding, and if the second sister-in-law felt greedy, my sister didn't dare to ask the house to burn down again. β
She is just witty, not to mention that Xi Manwan is not an unreasonable person, so she naturally understands the difference between 'gift' and 'apology'. After Shi Qingqian finished speaking, the three of them laughed and got along very well.
Xi Manwan also prepared some snacks in advance this day, and after talking and laughing a few words, she remembered the matter of dim sum, so she hurriedly asked the female envoys to bring them up.
Shi Qingyi has always been a person whose eyes light up when he sees dim sum, and Bai Yueyi has not liked desserts much since she was a child, so naturally she fell into Shi Qingqi's stomach and only ate a few mille-feuille cakes.
"Huh-sister, is the third lady of your third room an eventful person?" Eating and eating, Bai Yueyi suddenly asked.
"Huh? Three Ladies? Xi Manwan thought for a moment when she heard this, and could already guess that Bai Yueyi was deflated by the second lady today, "Mrs. Sanfang has always been a little troublesome, and my father-in-law is also a little partial to his concubine, but no matter how you say it, a concubine can't bully the head of the main wife." β
After marrying into the third room, Xi Manwan figured out the situation of their third room. The unfavored concubine next to her can not say anything for the time being, but that Lin Xiaoniang is too rampant. The third lady is born weak, and she is not less angry at a concubine room on weekdays, although Xi Manwan doesn't like to fight at home, she can't get used to seeing the head lady being bullied by a concubine, and she helps her mother-in-law to get angry.
The third lady also became a 'comrade-in-arms' with Xi Manwan and never made her difficult.
Xi Manwan smiled again, "It's just that Lin Xiaoniang is pregnant again, and I don't know if she will be more pampered and arrogant in the future." β
"Lin Xiaoniang is pregnant?" Shi Qingqian was shocked, not to question it, but to think that Lin Xiaoniang was pregnant again at this 'age', and hoped that she would pull Shi Zhenxiang to fight with herself, and Shi Zhenxiang only wanted to be stable after she wanted to open it. Lin Xiaoniang must look down on her useless daughter.
If it was a son who was born, I was afraid that she would not be able to suppress her.
Speaking of which, there are not a few people in the Hou Mansion, except for the big house Shi Yuan, who only has one wife and one concubine, the second room also has two concubines, and the third room is for business, and it is not bound by the so-called 'Qing official' faΓ§ade, and there are four concubines in the backyard.
It is said that it was 'had' because one of them died in childbirth many years ago, with one body and two lives.
The concubine in the second room has another son and a daughter, but the third room has no heirs except Lin Xiaoniang and the third lady - the reason can be imagined.
It's just that in a big house like them that has no separation, the children born to the two ladies in the second and third rooms are also recorded under the big house because their names are recorded, so they have a chance to stand out, and the sons of the concubines in the second and third rooms don't want to stand up.
Bai Yueyi shrugged her shoulders when she heard this, and a complaining look on her face: "Huh, before I came, I only heard that the second lady was quite sociable, although she was not a lady in a big house and rarely participated in the main banquet, but she was a very clever person." But I only found out about the second lady today...... He's also a man who can take care of things. β
She wanted to complain about her mother-in-law, but in the end she endured it, and the new daughter-in-law said bad things about her mother-in-law on the first day...... It's always a joke to get out there.
is also a daughter-in-law, and Xi Manwan is even more difficult to say anything, so she has to echo a few words. Although Shi Qingqian is not afraid, she is not a person who likes to chew the root of people's tongues behind her back, and what Fangzheng's sister-in-law said has nothing to do with herself, so she eats the milk cake in front of her.
"Hey, anyway, the Hou Mansion is still the eldest lady of the big house, but fortunately, the housewife is gentle and sincere," Xi Manwan said lightly, "The old lady is also very shrewd, and the most important thing is that the eldest brother is a good person." β
Bai Yueyi also knows this.
His eldest sister-in-law was obviously troubled by her mother-in-law, and Shi Qingqian had to sigh silently that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was really a big problem in China since ancient times.
However, Bai Yueyi, a girl who grew up with a lot of love, is quite impressive to Shi Qingqian, although she is an eldest lady, but she is not arrogant and unreasonable, and in fact, except for the Cen family, Shi Qingqian feels that the young ladies he has seen are not the kind of people who can't be moral.
Although it is not said that it is absolutely excellent, there are few people who are so ruthless.
Shi Qingqian thought, this may be a big reason why the descendants have been valued since ancient times - everyone's grandchildren, after all, have a better tutor and more sufficient confidence than the others, and will not be worried about a little gain or loss.
Shi Qingqian was concentrating on what was in his mind, and was suddenly called out by Bai Yueyi: "By the way, Xiao Qi, don't you have a son, I will prepare a few small clothes for your Yao'er." β
Saying that, he asked his subordinates to take out all the clothes and shoes prepared for Yao'er, "My embroidery is surprisingly poor, these are all made by my nurse Granny Liu, but the materials are absolutely good, if you don't dislike it, take it." β
Shi Qingqian only felt that he was flattered, and hurriedly rubbed the dim sum scum on his clothes, and said: "This, this Baoyue Courtyard has delayed the marriage of the eldest sister-in-law, I am already guilty, and now the eldest sister-in-law is going to send something to Yao'er, I really deserve it." β
"Don't talk about the water again, it's a shame that you and the little prince didn't have an accident, otherwise I'm the one who will blame myself! Besides, every family has it," Bai Yueyi said with a smile, "Sister, I don't know the size of Sister Sheng and Brother Hong, so I really don't dare to do it at will, so I asked someone to send cloth to my sister." β
Xi Manwan smiled and nodded, "I have received it before I came, but they are all good Shu brocade!" β
"If you like it."
