Who knew that when Yan Yan was thinking about how to take this silver and run away justifiably, the old lady suddenly took these silver tickets back, "Child, these things can't be given to you for the time being, originally we agreed to wait for you to give it to you in front of your uncle and aunt on the day of the New Year, but that kind of thing happened that day, and none of us cared about it." ”

Yan Yan understood as soon as she heard it, the Meng family and the Yan family planned to use this silver to buy a dowry for her, after all, the Yan family is now the head of the Ma family, and the Ma family has so many children, where would they be willing to use a large amount of money in the public to support Yan Yan's façade?

Presumably, the Meng family also understands this, so they will take the initiative to take out this silver.

Speaking of this, Yan Yan couldn't help but sigh again The grandmother of the original owner, the old lady is definitely a wise and far-sighted person, and before leaving, she arranged the two important things, marriage and dowry, for the original owner, but unfortunately there is a little bit of miscalculation, people's hearts.

"Grandmother, I want to know, if I become a monk, what will happen to this property?" Yan Yan asked a mystery that had been hovering in his mind for a long time.

"It's hard to say this, as long as you live, our Meng family will definitely not be able to get this thing back." After the old lady finished speaking, she looked at Yan Yan a little suspiciously.

"It's okay, grandmother, I just ask casually, I won't always be a monk, don't worry, I'll find an opportunity to hand a sign to the old lady tomorrow." Yan Yan hurriedly comforted the other party.

The old lady was relieved when she heard this.

Coming back from the Meng family, Yan Yan went to see Ma, Ma first asked how the old lady Meng was doing, and then asked the rest of the Meng family, Yan Yan replied while presenting the Meng family's return gift list.

Ma took the gift list and glanced at it, "You are a child, my aunt has told you many times, you are a junior, and you can't go empty-handed to visit the elders, but they are elders, where are the elders who give you a gift in return?" Well, since you've brought things back, put them in your own room. ”

"Auntie, these things were prepared by my aunt for my aunt, my aunt said that it was more or less her intention, and asked my aunt not to dislike it." Of course, Yan Yan wouldn't be so shallow-eyed, and really moved things back to his house.

"What dislikes or doesn't dislike, that's it, since I say so, I'll be cheeky and stay." After Ma finished speaking, he picked up the gift list and took a closer look.

The Meng family's return gift was a set of white porcelain tea sets from the official kiln, two sets of high-quality pen, ink, paper and inkstones, six horses of yarn for summer, and a few fresh melons and fruits from the Zhuangzi.

You don't need to ask to know that these two sets of high-quality pen, ink, paper and inkstone are for Yan Zhang and Yan Bin, and these six yarns are for Yan Yan, Yan Yu and Yan Tong sisters, which is the practice of the Meng family for many years, so Ma Shi instructed Liu's mother to take out the six yarn sheets and let Yan Yan pick two first.

"Auntie, as the eldest sister, how can I pick first? Naturally, the sisters came. Yan Yan hurriedly refused.

She also had a similar situation in her memory, every time Ma asked her to pick something first, she would refuse on the grounds that she was the eldest sister.

"Listen to my aunt, every time they pick first, it's your turn. It just so happens that my aunt also has a few pieces of jewelry from the palace, and I think that it will be the Queen Mother's birthday in a few days, and you sisters will also pick a few pieces and take them to dress up well. Ma Shi said as he instructed someone to pick up the jewelry, and at the same time instructed someone to call Yan Yu a few.

Soon, Tian Qi, the big girl next to Ma's side, came over with a small rosewood box, which contained several very novel and beautiful jewelry, and the workmanship was very exquisite, Yan Yan especially liked these headdresses made of gold leaf, including begonias, pomegranates, moon seasons and other patterns, as well as animal patterns such as butterflies, dragonflies, and peacocks, no matter which one they were, they looked very realistic.

However, Yan Yan's liking was limited to appreciation, so after taking a look twice, he withdrew his gaze and didn't really pick it out.

Ma Shi saw that Yan Yan was still humble, so he personally chose a few for her, and asked casually while trying them on for her: "Yan'er, when you go this time, did your grandmother and aunt say anything to you?" ”

"Sister-in-law is asking about the Lu family, right? When I went, I happened to meet Mrs. Lu who handed over a letter to see my grandmother, but my grandmother refused, saying that she would rather let me be a nun than marry the Lu family, saying that the two sons of the Lu family are not good matches, and since Lu Shizi proposed to withdraw from his relatives on the spot, he will definitely be suspicious, and he will not be able to live in the future, and the eldest son of the Lu family will not be able to marry. Yan Yan said this, and paused deliberately.

"Why?" Ma stopped what he was doing.

"It's not because the rumors are terrible, my grandmother is afraid that because of this, the rumors that we have an affair are really confirmed."

"Didn't you explain to your grandmother that the Lu family had already refuted the rumors outside? Or did your grandmother prefer to let you be a nun for the rest of her life than let you marry in order to maintain your reputation? There was a faint displeasure on Ma's face, but she restrained it.

She didn't say this, but she finally said, let me go to see the Queen Mother another day and listen to the Queen Mother's old man's meaning. Auntie, why don't you hand me a post tomorrow, and I'll listen to what the Queen Mother has to say. ”

"It's fine. Child, this is a major event that concerns your life, and it is necessary to listen to the opinions of a few people. When Ma heard that Yan Yan was willing to see the Queen Mother, he was also secretly relieved.

"What's the big thing in a lifetime? Is it the eldest sister's family affair? Who did the eldest sister choose? Yan Yu came in with Yan Tong and asked with a smile.

"You two came just in time, your eldest sister brought a few summer yarns from the Meng family, I said let her pick first, she has to wait for you to come, and also, this is the new jewelry I brought from the palace, you sisters also choose a few of them, your eldest sister is worried about you, and she refuses to choose first." After Ma finished speaking, he pushed these cloths and jewelry in front of Yan Yan.

"Mother too, this is how easy it is for the eldest sister to get it from a foreign family, you won't be a good person and give it to the eldest sister, why do you want to give it to us?" Yan Yu said angrily.

"This Nizi, dare to love your mother is such a stingy person in your eyes? This is your eldest sister's heart, and you didn't refuse when I did? Ma pretended to pat Yan Yu on the head.

"Ah, Mother, these jewels are so beautiful, they are made like the real thing." Yan Tong's eyes were quickly attracted by these jewelry.

"Third sister, you don't care about the eldest sister's family affairs?" Yan Yu stretched out his hand and poked Yan Tong, unable to see her unpromising appearance.

"Concern, eldest sister, what did your grandmother say, who are you going to choose?" Yan Tong quickly put down these jewelry and sat down beside Yan Yan.

Yan Yan repeated what Fang had just said to Ma.
