In the past, he felt that his father and mother were the most eccentric, and the third room was the most unpleasant, but now his mother ripped the words apart and said, and told him that the account was clear, and he just wished that there was a crack on the ground to get in.

Wen also bowed his head in shame next to Mei Changqing. When the Mei family was having a hard time, she still remembered the kindness of her in-laws, she was able to feed the child and didn't let her starve to death, she was already very content.

But this day is better, why does she still have those unfilial thoughts?

Even Mei Xiaoque and Zhou, hearing this, felt a little fever on their faces.

I don't say or mention some things, I don't think about it, but when Mrs. Li talks about things on the bright side, her own careful thoughts are revealed.

With a cold snort, Mrs. Zhang patted the edge of the kang: "Today, I will say the words in front." The fourth child's marriage must be done in a lively and grand manner, one is to compensate him, and the other is that now our Mei family is the same as before, people will only laugh at our Mei family's buckle and can't be on the stage. ”

"Moreover, I prepared a pair of silver bracelets for the fourth daughter-in-law in the dowry, which is a little heart of my mother-in-law, and the old family has the ancestral heirloom of the Mei family, so I will not waste the silver. Speaking of which, there is no one in the third family. Don't worry, I, as a mother-in-law, will always have a bowl of water flat, and when the time comes, I will call you back with the silver bracelet of the fourth family! ”

Mei Xiaotong couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth when she heard this, Mrs. Li still hated the old woman who gave the silver bracelet passed down to her daughter-in-law to the Zhou family.

So special, give the remaining daughters-in-law, one person and one pair, and slap the face.

Sure enough, Mei Zhongzhong, Mei Xiaoque, and Zhou's faces became wonderful.

Wen was frightened and delighted, and was speechless for a while.

The room was silent, and they didn't dare to speak.

Mrs. Li simply said happily today: "You all say that the old lady is eccentric, and the old lady is eccentric!" What's the use of having a bunch of your sons? One by one, they are like collecting debts, raising you with hard work, marrying you a daughter-in-law, and bringing you grandchildren. What did you like? What blessings have you enjoyed? I don't know how many years I've hated in my heart! The old lady is not blind, can she put her heart on your group of white-eyed wolves? ”

"The fourth daughter-in-law married into the door, and the old lady can be regarded as fulfilling her responsibilities as a father and mother to your brothers. Go all over the village to inquire and see how people marry their daughters-in-law? Less to fight famine? Be content. What should be given is given, and what should not be given, don't think about it! The rest, no matter how much, is what I leave to you girls! In the future, don't have any crooked ideas, thinking about begging your grandson and daughter-in-law, and come to ask for the silver in the hands of the old lady. I'll tell you, no! Not a single big boy! ”

These words meant something, and Zhou suddenly wanted to lower his head to the crotch of his pants, and even Tianlong and Tianhu's faces were hot.

Mei Xiaoque glared at the Zhou family, calculating all day long, who can hide that idea?

"Mother, don't worry, Tianlong and they marry a daughter-in-law

Naturally, there are sons to worry about, where will the father and mother be affected! ”

Mei Zhongzhong saw that the old woman was almost beaten, and coughed: "Okay, your mother said this, but also to let you have a number in your hearts, when the fourth daughter-in-law enters the door, there are many people in the family, and the words should be made clear in advance, so as not to look bad in the future." When we are fathers and mothers, the palms and backs of our hands are full of meat, who else can we deliberately treat badly? I only hope that your brothers will be harmonious and work together. ”

"As the saying goes, fighting tigers and brothers, going into battle between father and son, brothers are not united, and this day is not prosperous. It's getting late today, so let's all disperse! ”

As soon as Mei Zhongzhong's words came out, everyone was like being pardoned, you pulled me, I pulled you, and hurriedly retreated.

Mei Xiaotong and An Huahao were also going out, but they were stopped by Mrs. Li: "Don't go, you two go with me, go to town tomorrow, and buy the important ones back first." ”

Mei Xiaotong had to come back with An Huahao, and pondered for a long time with Mrs. Li and Mei Zhongzhong for the list, before deciding on the gifts to be bought tomorrow. When it was over, Mrs. Li gave a special order to let Mei Xiaotong find the best silversmith in the town.

Mei Xiaotong blinked her eyes: "Mother, didn't Fang just say two pairs?" "Why don't you prepare a pair for Mei Changan's daughter-in-law? Can't you? Isn't my mother that kind of person?

"You are stupid when you are your mother, this silver bracelet has been beaten by outsiders, and you can still leave my daughter behind? You listen to your mother, those two pairs, one or two heavy one, just play a dragon and phoenix style. Your own pair, play two or two, you go and pick a good-looking style. "Mrs. Li's eccentricity is very obvious.

An Huahao was on the side, and the corner of his eyes swept to Mei Zhongzhong's expression when he heard this, and he couldn't help but want to laugh.

Mrs. Li didn't care about Mei's loyalty, but she didn't see it.

Mei Xiaotong was also funny: "That relationship is good, but my mother still loves me." Mother, no matter how much you hurt me, can you let me play three or two? ”

Mrs. Li knew that her daughter was making herself happy, so she couldn't hold back and smiled: "Okay, okay, you can play five or two, as long as you are not afraid of wrist pain." ”

Mei Xiaotong was coquettish and flattering, which made Mrs. Li smile, and the matter was over.

An Huahao returned to the house, recalled the scene of Fang Cai, and couldn't help but touch a cold sweat, the future mother-in-law is too powerful, and the future uncles and fathers-in-law of the Mei family are not opponents of the mother-in-law at all.

However, my mother-in-law is so partial to Xiaotong, and it is good to be eccentric!

Xiaotong has such a good temperament, if it weren't for the partiality of his mother-in-law, who was holding those future uncles, I was afraid that I wouldn't know how much I would suffer.

For a while, I remembered that Mrs. Li said that she would give Xiaotong a pair of silver bracelets, which reminded An Huahao that in addition to the pearl hairpin he gave on the day of marriage, he actually did not send other jewelry to Xiaotong.

Thinking of Xiaotong's delicate and fair wrist, with the bracelet he gave himself, and the white and tender earlobes with the earrings he gave himself, An Huahao became excited......

※※※

This batch of mountain goods in Chongzigou has been praised by Guan Yifei.

Not to mention the number, there are a lot of good things in it, and there are many of them, which are rare good things in the eyes of Guan Yifei, a veteran of purchasing mountain goods.

The mountain goods received a few times ago, Guan Yifei had already asked the Changfeng Dart Bureau to escort them to Jing County, loaded them on a ship and sent them to the capital.

Boss Zhang sent a letter to express his satisfaction, but the letter also urged again, seeing that there was still a peak season for Yueshan goods to pass, and they, the big mountain goods dealers, wanted to transport all the mountain goods away before the heavy snow.

When will the jade mushrooms promised by Mei Xiaotong be delivered? Jade mushrooms only appear in spring and autumn, and it seems that it is late autumn, where will there be jade mushrooms at that time?

Guan Yifei also remembered this matter, and when he was settling the payment, he once again urged Mei Xiaotong.

Seeing Boss Zhang's urging again and again, he wanted to come to the capital and now needed jade mushrooms very much.

Mei Xiaotong also understood this truth, remembering that she had gone to see the jade mushrooms in the cave a few days ago, and they were growing well, and now they are as big as their fingers.

If this growth continues, it will be harvested in a few days.

When this batch is harvested, another batch can be harvested every ten days and half a month.

The two batches should be able to deliver on their promises.

He groaned for a while: "The day after tomorrow, I will send half of them first, and now they are all fresh jade mushrooms, if they are to be transported to the capital, they must be prepared for storage in the next few days, otherwise, I am afraid that if they are sent to the capital, the jade mushrooms will be broken." “

Guan Yifei finally heard the letter and became happy: "As long as Miss Wang can deliver the goods on time, I will take care of the rest!" ”

Mei Xiaotong and Guan Yifei finalized the delivery time, so they didn't stay longer, and went to buy gifts and left.

Now is the time when the farmer has money in his hands, and there are many foreign merchants in the town, one is to collect mountain goods, there are those who are shrewd, and they also bring some fashionable goods from outside, and they can also earn a few silver.

Mei Xiaotong and An Huahao bought snacks, brown sugar, tea, dried fruits, and two jars of good wine for a total of ten catties.

I went to the auspicious cloth shop and pulled two colors suitable for the girl's ruler.

The shopkeeper Zheng happened to be in the auspicious cloth workshop, and when he saw the ruler, he immediately guessed that the Mei family had a happy event.

When I asked, it was true.

Where is he willing to accept the money, he just said that he would treat it as his own little heart, and said that he must ask for a cup of wine to drink another day.

Helpless, Mei Xiaotong had to accept it.

I went to the most famous silver building in town.

The name of the silver building is Zhou Ji, and it is also an old shop in the town.

Zhou Ji is an ancestral craft, and the family makes a living by making jewelry. You have been in the town for decades, you have a good reputation, you never deduct the materials of your guests, and the jewelry you make is also even.

People in the town generally marry daughters, marry daughters-in-law or something, and make jewelry.

will be to the weekly diary.

As soon as I entered the week, a young descendant came out, with a smile on his face that made people feel comfortable to look at: "Two inside, please"

"What jewelry do you want to see? Or do you want to make some jewelry? ”

After Mei Xiaotong explained her intentions, the young junior took the two to the side, opened the counter, and pulled out a boxy drawer from inside.

The drawers were divided into small compartments and wrapped in soft cloth.

In each small grid, there are all kinds of silver bracelets.

There are twist twist twist bracelets, osmanthus pair bead bracelets, loach back horseshoe-shaped bracelets, as well as concubine garlic bracelets, and old phoenix opening auspicious cloud bracelets......

Mei Xiaotong was dazzled.

These are all handmade bracelets, and I have never seen many styles.

First picked a style for Liu Xiaoqiao and Wen's family, and according to Mrs. Li's explanation, Lao Feng's Xiangyun bracelet is quite suitable.

The rest was her turn to choose a style for herself, and Mei Xiaotong was dazzled.

The young posterior saw a lot of such guests, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while, but stepped forward and suggested: "This girl, if you can't make up your mind, you can try it on and see which one is more suitable." ”

Mei Xiaotong's eyes lit up, ordered a few, and tried them on her wrist.

An Huahao pulled the latter aside and asked in a low voice.

The young posterity's eyes never left Mei Xiaotong, listening to An Huahao's request in his ears, he was single-minded and hard.

After listening to An Huahao's words, his eyes lit up and he nodded.

Then he beckoned inside: "Little sister, come out and entertain the guests." ”

Out of it came a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, about the same as Mei Xiaotong, with delicate eyebrows and a hairpin in her black hair.

This hairpin has a unique shape, it is actually the shape of cordyceps, and the gilded bee is like a real one, lying in the hair, which makes people shine.

The little girl was also smiling, and stepped forward to help Mei Xiaotong try on the bracelet, and she could also give some suggestions, so that Mei Xiaotong could get back to the feeling of visiting the mall before and the teller served with a smile throughout the whole process.

Here, An Huahao was taken by the young offspring to a smaller room next door.

After asking An Huahao to sit down, he carefully took out the key and took out a small box from the cabinet.

The box was opened, and the inside was wrapped in red silk satin, and the young young man gently uncovered the satin, revealing a set of silver-gilt jewelry.

A pair of shrimp bracelets inlaid with small fine gemstones, a pair of gourd earrings, two cordyceps-shaped hairpins, a dragonfly, and a butterfly-shaped one.

The tentacles of the wings are lifelike, and when they blow bigger, the butterfly will tremble and spread its wings like flying, which is very delicate and suitable for little girls to wear.

Even if An Huahao doesn't understand jewelry, he thinks this set is good-looking, thinking that this hairpin must look good on Xiaotong's head.

The young poster's eyes were sharp, looking at An Huahao's face

knew that he was extremely satisfied, and carefully introduced: "This set was made by my family after learning the tricks of the provincial capital, and I dare not guarantee that the entire Jing County is the only one, but our Shiqiao Town is like this." This silver is the best snowflake silver, although the jewels on the bracelet are smaller, but the quality is good, the color is positive, if the guests like it, this set only needs fifteen taels of silver, and the price is not affordable. ”

The corners of An Huahao's mouth suddenly curled: "Keep this set for me, I'll make a deposit first, and I'll take it tomorrow." "Fifteen taels of silver is not a problem, but today is not the day to send this.

Can't steal the limelight from the future mother-in-law, just wait a few more days.

The young posterity was overjoyed.

This set of jewelry is a new pattern of his uncle's shop in the provincial capital, and it is very popular with guests. He went to the provincial capital a few days ago, and he took a fancy to this series at a glance, and he bought this set with his own private money, originally planning to let his family study.

I didn't expect to come back and be favored by my little sister, and I grinded off two hairpins.

He had kept most of the remaining set in the store for several months, shouting for twenty taels of silver, and there were many people who saw it, but there were no people who were willing to pay for it.

This jewelry is suitable for little girls to bring, but who in the town is willing to spend twenty taels of silver to buy jewelry to make their daughters happy

Those who can afford it are also older, and it is not appropriate to wear this, so this set of jewelry is not cared for.

The family laughed at him for looking away, and he was holding his breath in his heart.

So today, when I saw two young customers entering the store, I didn't expect it, but the female guest directly said that she wanted to make a custom silver bracelet, look at the clothes, and I didn't have any extra silver to buy this set of jewelry.

Unexpectedly, the young male guest secretly asked him if there was any jewelry suitable for the girl's family, and he also took it to the small room with the attitude of trying, because he saw that An Huahao was dressed ordinarily, and the jewelry had not been sold for so many days, he did not shout the price, and directly gave a real price.

Thinking that it really can't be done, this set of jewelry is dismantled and sold, and it is okay to make up for your private money first.

Unexpectedly, this male guest looked inconspicuous, and he actually asked for it all

The young poster was overjoyed, and hurriedly agreed, wrapped the jewelry as it was, and put it back, accepted a deposit of one or two silver from An Huahao, and gave a sign, just come tomorrow to get it.

Out of the compartment, Mei Xiaotong also picked out the style and chose a twist twist bracelet.

These styles are available in the store, and weddings generally want these styles, and Zhou Ji also has inventory, and directly take out three pairs of bracelets and weigh them in front of you.

In the end, with the addition of manual fees, three pairs of bracelets, wiped the leader, and spent a total of eight taels of silver.

The young descendant was still in charge and gave Mei Xiaotong a pair of small silver lilac earrings.

Among them, the twisted twist bracelet was worn on Mei Xiaotong's wrist, which made her wrists more and more like jade and her skin like congealed cream.

The little girl who was entertained earlier, one side to the other

The outer two pairs of bracelets are wrapped, and on the one hand, Mei Xiaotong has good eyes and good skin, and this bracelet looks good to wear.

Mei Xiaotong smiled and glanced at the hairpin in the little girl's hair, this kind of cordyceps hairpin, in her previous era, I am afraid that it could only be seen in museums, just like a handicraft.

I didn't expect that in this era, ordinary girls would be able to wear it, and I sighed in my heart.

But her eyes fell into An Huahao's eyes, and she secretly guessed in her heart that Xiaotong also liked this kind of beautiful jewelry

It's a pity that most of the Mei family's money is now kept for the turnover of the mountain goods business, and with the current situation of the Mei family, even if she wants to buy these, she has to take into account the mood of her brother and sister-in-law at home.

Not only did he blame himself secretly, but he didn't pay much attention to it in the past.

Xiaotong is at home, she looks beautiful, but in fact, for her, she has more scruples, for the sake of the balance and stability of the family, she has to restrain herself.

Otherwise, with Xiaotong's own ability, he can't buy as many beautiful jewelry as he wants

Where to envy a little girl in the silver building

An Huahao's eyes darkened, and he had a plan in his heart, but he couldn't see anything on his face.

Out of the silver building, Mei Xiaotong looked at the sky, and it was time to go back.

An Huahao spoke: "Xiaotong, I won't go back with you today, Boss Ma and his gang are still in that house, I have to go and have a look, so I can take care of it." Aren't you going to send jade mushrooms the day after tomorrow, and I'll go back with you then. ”

Mei Xiaotong nodded, An Huahao can't stay in Lingshan Village all the time, he also has his own affairs, and he only advises at the moment: "Be careful in everything, don't force it." Boss Ma, you must be cautious about their affairs. ”

An Huahao nodded and shook Mei Xiaotong's hand, "I know everything, you go back and be careful on the way." ”

Seeing Mei Xiaotong disappear at the end of the street with the carriage, An Huahao's soft aura suddenly retracted, with a cold face, he nodded at a man on the side of the street, and the two turned into a small alley one after the other

When Mei Xiaotong returned home, she first booked and collected the payment for today's mountain goods.

Only then did I go to the upper room and hand over the gifts and silver bracelets clearly.

Mrs. Li looked at the pair of silver bracelets on Mei Xiaotong's wrists, groped her wrists, and praised her repeatedly: "This bracelet is beautiful, and my daughter looks better when she wears it." ”
