said, walked up to Aunt Hou: "I don't take advantage of you, you rolled my four white eyes, I returned one before, and now there are three-"

said, in front of everyone, unceremoniously rolled three big eyes at Aunt Hou before slapping the face: "Let's clear the two!" ”

In front of so many people, Aunt Hou rolled her eyes a few times by Mrs. Li, and she could only bear it, and she didn't even dare to say a word.

I only felt that the little face I earned in the Guogong Mansion in this life was all lost today, and I was ashamed and annoyed for a while, my face turned purple eggplant, I gritted my teeth, and I just thought that when the day is over, she will definitely get back the face she lost today.

Otherwise, how can you gain a foothold in this country?

Reluctantly restrained the expression on his face, bent at Gao's knee very sloppily, and forced a smile: "Madam, the concubine is not feeling well today, so I will retire first." ”

Gao also knew that the Hou family had lost face today, and he couldn't sit still here at the moment.

I'm also worried about what kind of moth there is in the Hou family for a while, the two mothers and daughters in front of me, and the daughters are also okay, this mother, at first glance, is a mother-in-law in the countryside, who doesn't know how to count etiquette, and then say everything so bluntly, I'm afraid that a good happy event will become a farce.

Don't say anything else, I'm just afraid of slapping Grandpa Guo's face, don't even think about it in this house.

Because he only nodded: "Since your body is not comfortable, don't go out of the yard these days, and rest in the house." ”

Gao's is also a good heart, this Hou family has always wanted to save face, he used to give birth to two brothers in the house, and he was full of confidence, except for her, the housewife, no one looked down on her, and now she has lost such a big face, and she has come out to be seen as a joke, and it is estimated that she will not be able to get over it.

It's better to let her stuffy in the house for a few days and come out later. At that time, things have passed, and my face looks better.

Hou Shi listened to it, but his face changed, is this grounded in disguise? Wow, this guy has just come back, and even the always fair lady has changed direction.

Looking at the mocking eyes thrown by the aunts next to her, Hou lowered her head and endured it, now that the newly recognized son is in the limelight, she can't afford to go to the hard bar at this time.

If you offend others, don't say it, and make the grandfather of the country unhappy, that's what cheapens the little goblins and the little cubs they born.

made a random accusation and hurriedly withdrew.

After Aunt Hou left, the rest of the people looked at Mrs. Li and Mei Xiaotong for a while.

It's still Gao's, first put on a smile, since she knew that she couldn't have a body anymore, her temperament has always been gentle, and her smile is particularly comfortable, even Mrs. Li looked at Gao's, and couldn't help but say, this Duchess looks really kind and kind.

Gao stepped forward and took the initiative to take Mrs. Li's hand: "Aunt Fang Cai is unreasonable, but let the in-laws' wife see the joke." Fortunately, my in-laws are not outsiders, so I was cheeky enough to let this matter pass. ”

Mrs. Li wants to say, who is not an outsider with you, but the Gao family is good

is a grandfather and wife of a country, and her attitude has always been quite kind, and there is no need to offend on the first day, so she just smiled and revealed it.

Gao breathed a sigh of relief, for fear that this Mrs. Li would not be relentless, but he didn't expect that he would be able to look at the direction of the wind and know that it would go downhill.

After saying a few more soft words, he smiled slightly and looked at Mei Xiaotong, who didn't speak: "This is the eldest brother and daughter-in-law?" What a neat and neat girl! This appearance, this bearing, is not much worse than our girl! The wife of the in-laws is really good at conditioning people, and she regulates her eldest brother and daughter-in-law so smartly-"

As soon as he waved his hand, Mei Xiaotong stepped forward.

It stands to reason that Mei Xiaotong should have kowtowed when she first saw Gao, but the girls in the room didn't seem to see it, and no one brought a futon mat.

Mei Xiaotong didn't know if Gao wanted to give himself a dismount and let himself kneel directly on the ground, or if he didn't want to accept his own courtesy at all.

also pretended to be confused, and only stepped forward to give Gao a squatting salute, saying: "Xiaotong has seen Madame!" ”

Gao Shi paused for a moment, but soon came back to his senses, his face was still gentle and kind, helped Mei Xiaotong up, and looked at it carefully.

Mei Xiaotong also stood quietly, smiling and letting Gao look at her, without blushing on her face.

After Gao looked at Mei Xiaotong, he saw that she was dressed elegantly, and there was a white jade hairpin on her head, and there were no other jewelry, so he guessed what the reason might be.

Therefore, it is not easy to take out the meeting gift prepared earlier.

After only a sigh, he took out a bracelet of mutton fat and white jade from his wrist and put it on Mei Xiaotong's wrist: "I like you girl when I look at it, this bracelet was given to me by my mother when I got married, and I heard that it was given to her by the queen mother in the palace at the beginning, but in the end, it is still suitable for you young people to wear, and wearing it on my hand does not show its goodness!" ”

What can be worn on the hands of the Duchess of the Gao family, how can it be mortal? In addition, I heard from the Gao family that it was the reward of the queen mother who was won by the prince of Rongyi County, and suddenly everyone in the room stared at Mei Xiaotong's wrist.

Seeing this, Mei Xiaotong also deliberately raised her wrist and admired it, sure enough, it was crystal white, warm as fat, warm and cool in her hand, looking at the luster on it, she knew that this jade bracelet was probably played with from time to time, revealing a sense of spirituality.

After making sure that everyone had seen the jade bracelet on her wrist clearly, Mei Xiaotong bowed generously: "Mrs. Xie reward!" ”

There is no prevarication at all.

Song Chongqi, the eldest lady of the Guogong Mansion next to her, stared at the jade bracelet without blinking.

She is already married, and she will get married next year.

The consistent rule in the house is that the children of the concubine marry a wife and marry a fixed number, and the public is limited, and the rest are not favored, and then there are fathers and aunts who should be privately subsidized.

She is the eldest daughter, and she is also a little favored in front of Song Hong, Song Hong once promised in private that when she gets married, she will give her an extra Zhuangzi and a shop.

And her biological mother is Aunt Yuan, who is said to be the lowest among Song Hong's aunts, but she was a trial marriage girl sent by the Gao family, and because she was pregnant with her, she was promoted to be an aunt.

Over the years, Aunt Yuan has carefully served Mrs. Gao everywhere, respecting Mrs. Gao, and thanks to Mrs. being a kind-hearted person, their life is quite passable.

My aunt has also accumulated a lot of things over the years, but my aunt told her that she has a younger brother under her knees, the fourth Song Chongming.

Aunt Yuan was older when she was pregnant with him, and she was born prematurely, and she was born weak.

Over the years, it has been a loss to be born in the Guogong Mansion, and the expensive supplements are like a stream of water, and it has only been raised until he is now 10 years old, and although his body is slightly better, he is still weaker than ordinary people.

Aunt Yuan's hopes for the rest of her life are all on this son, and the things she has saved will naturally be left to her son.

I made it clear to Song Chongqi before, and asked Song Chongqi not to think about these things.

As the eldest daughter of the Guogong Mansion, she has a lot of dowry in the Gongzhong, plus the Zhuangzi and the shop that the Guogong may promise, it is not bad to say.

Besides, Song Chongqi's family is the eldest son of a subordinate general under Grandpa Guo, and he is still married low, and he can be the master of the house after marrying, how much private house can't be saved?

If you really feel that you don't have anything at hand, let Song Chongqi please Mrs. Gao.

The Gao family has always been scattered, when he married into the Guogong Mansion, it was ten miles of red makeup, which is not much worse than the princess and county lord.

In addition, she has been in charge of the Guogong Mansion for many years, and she doesn't know how many good things she has in her hands, as long as she is happy and loose, she will be worth more than all of Aunt Yuan's belongings.

Song Chongqi knew that her sister's brother was more important in her aunt's heart, and she also knew that if she got married in the future, if she wanted to live well in her mother-in-law's family, she would have to have someone to support her.

The other brothers are separated by one layer, and the only one who can be counted on is the fourth, so they acquiesce.

But in the end, she has seen a sister with a similar family background to her get married, the dowry is rich, and she is confident when she arrives at her in-law's house, and she is a little disgusted in her heart that the dowry in the public middle school is small, only 10,000 taels of silver.

After purchasing the necessary furniture, wood and furnishings, there is not much left. When the time comes, when you get married, you don't have any living money in hand, what are those dead things worth?

Although my father said that he would give Zhuangzi and the shop, who thinks that his dowry is too much?

Song Chongqi has been raised by Aunt Yuan's side since she was a child, and Aunt Yuan's girl was born, and her knowledge is really limited. Although when he was older, the house also invited a female master and a grandmother to teach, in the end, this natural little family was fixed, and his eyelids were a little shallow.

Although Mama has also tried her best to correct it, she can only fool others, at least Gao knows it.

In order to get more good things from his mother-in-law Gao, after the marriage, Song Chongqi listened to Aunt Yuan's idea and flattered Gao.

The Gao family is indeed generous, and the fragmentary head jewelry is not less than Song Chongqi. Although it looks like it alone

It's not very valuable, but it adds up to a lot.

Song Chongqi also knew that she was originally a concubine, and her mother-in-law was already generous, not to mention that Gao also said that for the sake of her filial piety, on the day of her marriage, she would give her this bracelet of mutton fat and white jade as makeup.

In Song Chongqi's eyes, this bracelet is already hers. Not to mention anything else, just because this bracelet was given by the queen mother in the palace, with this halo, in the in-law's house, Song Chongqi can stand firmly.

Unexpectedly, it has only been a few days, and it will be in the hands of others?

If it's something else, Song Chongqi will forget it, although mutton fat and white jade are rare, it's not nothing, what she cares about is that this bracelet is the glory of the queen mother in the palace?

Especially when I watched Mei Xiaotong raise her wrist, her skin was as white as snow, echoing the bracelet, and it became more and more transparent and her skin was warm.

Even Gao couldn't help but praise repeatedly: "Sure enough, this bracelet still needs you young people to look good when wearing it." ”

Although the aunts next to her were envious in their hearts, they didn't show it on their faces, and they echoed and praised Mei Xiaotong in unison.

One by one, they were originally coincidental, but at the moment they were deliberately praising people, so Mei Xiaotong could really boast of flowers.

What looks like a flower, what kind of bearing is outstanding, at first glance, he is a good boy.

Standing with his wife, he didn't look like a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but like a mother and daughter.

There is also the one who is not compatible with Yuan's mother and daughter, and when she saw Song Chongqi's unhappy expression that she didn't hide at all, she also guessed how much she thought, and specially praised that this bracelet is only suitable for Mrs. and young grandmothers at first glance, and only they are bracelets with them, not with bracelets.

also joked, didn't this bracelet have spirituality at the beginning, and deliberately let the queen mother reward it to the county monarch, and the county monarch gave it to the lady, and now the lady has given it to the young grandmother, and it will be passed down from generation to generation in the future, and it is also the creation of this bracelet......

It's really sensual and pompous.

These aunts are so praiseful, naturally they don't have good intentions, and they also deliberately hold Mrs. Li and Mei Xiaotong high, it's best to praise them so that they forget their shape, lose their shape, and show their true colors as countrymen.

When the time comes, with such a wife and mother-in-law, no matter how rare the grandfather of that country is, this newly recognized son, with these two people dragging his feet, it will not be a big deal.

Originally, this country man is vulgar and does not know etiquette. It was okay to look at the young grandmother before, at least it looked quite bluffing.

As a result, I tried out just a bracelet, just like I hadn't seen anything good, I didn't even know how to excuse myself, so I accepted it with a big grin, and my eyelids were shallow.

It seems to be the same as her country mother-in-law, but she is young in the end, and she will pretend to be face-saving, but it's a pity that she will be exposed so soon.

What is there to fear from such a mother and daughter? That is, Aunt Hou is stupid, and she was slapped in the face by a country woman.

Several aunts thought so in their hearts, wishing they could see Mei Xiaotong and Mrs. Li today

It's okay to be ugly, but I only saw Mei Xiaotong sitting next to Gao steadily, listening to their flattery without moving, and she was not embarrassed at all.

Not even a word of self-humility.

Forget it, Mrs. Li kept echoing the words of several aunts: "No, you still have vision, my daughter, it's naturally better to go anywhere." I didn't say that she was bad when I saw her, I said that she was not good, it was all blind, just a talent like my daughter, such a look, where to find it? ”

"It's not that I, an old woman, boast about it, in this world, she is more beautiful than my daughter, no one can make money than my daughter, no one who can make money than my daughter, no one who is filial to my daughter, who is more filial than my daughter, there is nothing else in this world——"

"The rewards in this palace, my daughter has also seen a lot, and my family still has the jewelry that the palace concubine Niangniang rewarded my daughter! It's such a big gold bracelet, so thick, and it's so big with gemstones—"

……

In the front, Mrs. Li boasted about her daughter, and several aunts felt that they couldn't lower their value and see Mrs. Li, so they endured it. What's more, they provoked this remark, didn't they boast it before?

It's just that I don't think I can say it, how can I listen to Mrs. Li say it, and they feel uncomfortable?

But I heard Mrs. Li say that in their rural people, there can still be a concubine to reward them with jewelry? Are you kidding?

Is Concubine Dangde the mother-in-law of the village next door to them? So easy to give a reward?

You must know that the emperor's harem is today, and the throne has been vacant for many years, and now it is this Concubine De who is being favored, and the holy favor has not faded for several years.

How many people want to tie up with Concubine De, but they can't find a way out.

This country woman actually said that Concubine De could give her family a reward? Gave it in a dream, right?

Originally, I was not happy in my heart, I felt that Mei Xiaotong had snatched her bracelet, and at this moment, I was not ashamed to listen to Mrs. Li's words, and the work in my heart suddenly couldn't be suppressed, Song Chongqi sneered: "The wife of the in-laws spoke in such a big tone, didn't she go to the capital and listen to so many words about the favor of Concubine De in the palace, so she started to have an old dream with Concubine De, right?" ”

"It's just a matter of boasting in those small households, but in our Guogong Mansion, I am not afraid of the wind and flashing my tongue when I say this? What kind of character is Concubine De, can I know you? And give you things? It's just a matter of talking about this in-law wife in our house, but when you go out, you must keep your mouth shut, so as not to make people laugh! ”

"Others won't say that you don't have knowledge, they will only laugh at our Guogong Mansion!"

Song Chongqi was angry in his heart, and his tone was naturally not good, and he was particularly bitter and mean.

The atmosphere in the room, which was still lively, suddenly became cold.

No matter how gentle and kind Gao was, he couldn't hold it on his face, sank his face, and glanced at Song Chongqi fiercely.

Song Chongqi came back to his senses at this time, knowing that he had made a mistake, and this room was full

They are all elders, and it is not her turn to speak to a girl who has not yet married.

A face suddenly turned purple with shame, and he looked at Gao pleadingly.

Gao thought that this was an unmarried girl after all, and her reputation was important, so she wanted to make a round: "Mrs. in-laws, this is the eldest girl in our house, she is still young and ignorant, she said the wrong thing, and asked the wife of her in-laws to take care of her." ”

As soon as he turned around, he gave Song Chongqi a look: "What are you still doing?" Why don't you come up and make a compensatory relationship with your in-laws and your sister-in-law? ”

Mei Xiaotong's face had already sunk, Song Chongqi slapped Mrs. Li's face like this, and the Gao family actually wanted to expose it so gently? Stop dreaming!

"Madam, I wonder how old this big girl is this year?" Mei Xiaotong slowly stood up, looked at Song Chongqi and asked.

Gao was stunned, and Aunt Yuan snatched it out: "The eldest girl is only seventeen years old this year, she is young in the end, and she doesn't know how important she is. ”

When Mrs. Li entered the Guogong Mansion, she only planned to make the people in the Guogong Mansion angry, but she didn't plan to be angry herself.

immediately took over the conversation: "This big girl is seventeen years old, has she promised someone?" ”

Aunt Yuan couldn't figure out what Mrs. Li and Mei Xiaotong were going to say, so she had to say: "I have already promised someone, and I will go out next year." ”

Mrs. Li suddenly got up from the chair, stuck her waist in, pointed at Song Chongqi and began to scold: "I'm bah! What kind of rule is this? The eldest girl who wants to go out doesn't honestly stay in the room to embroider the dowry, and run out to get involved in the affairs of the brother-in-law's sister-in-law's family? Do you want to be shameless? Do you want to be shameless? ”
