Bai Liu's hand was holding the purple jade, and the golden step in the other hand was picked up by Aunt Cui, Aunt Cui smiled and said, "I can't help it, I can't help it, how can I take your things for nothing?" How much do you say directly? I'll pay you. ”

Aunt Cui's words were exquisitely clear, and she only put the word 'white take' out heavily. How could she swallow such humiliation in her heart, deliberately laughing at others for fun, she had already calculated in her heart, how to provoke Aunt Li and Bai Liu seamlessly in her heart.

Sure enough, Aunt Li heard the word 'white take', and her body was slightly stunned, Aunt Cui saw Aunt Li take the bait, and then said: "You have made a good calculation, the left side goes out, the right side enters, and deceives our master to spend money in vain, fortunately you are smart, this purple jade hairpin doesn't want money, if you want money, I will only tell our master to go." ”

Aunt Gao couldn't understand the mystery in her words, so she only asked, "What deceived the old man?" ”

Aunt Cui smiled coquettishly and said, "She was the aunt and grandmother of the Liu family, have you forgotten your sister?" ”

Aunt Gao was woken up and echoed: "It turns out that you are saying kiss for the Liu family?" Why not explain it earlier? Shall we give you a hand? ”

Seeing this, Aunt Li had no choice but to say: "This purple jade hairpin is too valuable, and it really can't be accepted." ”

Aunt Cui's eyes were sharp, and she saw Aunt Li's refusal. deliberately said: "Sister, I don't want to give it to you for nothing, I want it, but people have taken a fancy to your Wanrong, but unfortunately we don't have this blessing." ”

Aunt Li was embarrassed, and she couldn't wait to step forward in person and block Aunt Cui's mouth. However, the Bailiu clan also held the purple jade hairpin in his hand, how to refuse her?

Bai Liu's family saw Aunt Li twisting, only to be too shy, and his sister-in-law said in person, 'Aunt Li agrees with this', so she is embarrassed by Aunt Li. simply took Aunt Li's hand, put the purple jade hairpin in Aunt Li's hand, and said, "You don't want it, what should Wanrong do?" ”

The Bai Liu clan made it clear, and everyone understood the purpose of the Bai Liu clan today, but Aunt Li's mother and daughter secretly complained in their hearts. How could Aunt Li take this purple jade hairpin, taking it is equivalent to agreeing to the Liu family's family affairs, such a valuable jewelry, to put it bluntly, is a token sent by the Liu family.

Aunt Li's hand shrunk, but the Bai Liu clan had already taken off the purple jade hairpin, and only heard the crisp sound of landing, which burst into the hearts of everyone in the room. The purple jade hairpin had already fallen to the ground and broken into several pieces. Aunt Li was stunned, Aunt Gao was stunned, Aunt Cui was stunned, and the Bai Liu clan also looked at the broken jade in front of her blankly, and her heart kept dripping blood, this is purple jade? It is said that gold has a price, but jade is priceless? What's more, it's a purple jade that is hard to find in the world. If it weren't for his own nephew to marry, how could he be willing to come up with such a good thing?

For a while, there was silence in the noisy hall. Wanying didn't say a word from beginning to end, just pulled Wanting, and at this time she signaled Wanting not to say anything.

When she was young, Aunt Cui said with a smile: "My good sister, are you still cramping your hands and feet at night recently?" When Aunt Li heard this, she knew that she was rounding the field for herself, and was about to open her mouth to answer, so Aunt Cui continued: "Sister, is her hand cramping?" Still unwilling to marry the Liu family? ”

Everyone was stunned, things had come to this point, and Aunt Li suddenly said sharply: "A few days ago, He You'an, the first-class guard of Prince Rong's Mansion, mentioned the matter of Wanrong to the master. ”

Anyway, Aunt Li has already made up her mind and is ready to marry Wanrong to He You'an, this Liu family will be offended sooner or later, since the matter of sooner or later, simply pick it out, blunt knife cut meat, everyone is uncomfortable, in case the Liu family then says that we Wanrong stepped on two boats, it would not be worth it.

Bai Liu's heart was even more hateful, looking at Aunt Li sitting upright, if it weren't for the fact that she was the concubine of the master, he really wanted to rush over and slap her this capricious face. But after all, it's just a matter of thinking about it. Bent down to pick up the purple jade hairpin that had been broken into a few pieces, and his heart was like a knife. This is the best purple jade, huh?

Aunt Cui said to her maid, "Go back and get a hundred taels of silver." He turned to pick up Bai Liu's and said: "I said Mrs. Bai, not that I have a lot of mouths, this broken jade is a broken jade in our house, your Bai family is the first business in the jewelry shop in the capital, this hairpin is inlaid with gold edges, that is, gold inlaid jade, maybe it also makes it?" ”

The Bailiu clan was already disillusioned, and even more resentful, so he only said: "Grandma, where is such a light thing? How can broken jade be worth as much as whole jade, this purple jade hairpin is carved from a whole piece of jade. ”

Aunt Cui continued disappreciatively: "Madam Bai, what you say, I understand, you can't make gold inlaid jade, make a few purple jade rings, or make inlaid treasures, or rings, or earrings, in short, this broken jade is not without nowhere to go." ”

Aunt Gao also said: "There are so many skilled craftsmen in your family, so you won't bury this object." ”

Aunt Li refused everyone's kindness and said, "No, Mrs. Bai, how much do you only say?" I'll pay you. ”

Bai Liu raised his eyes, endured the resentment in his heart, and said with a smile again: "Grandma, the matter between Miss Wanrong and my maiden nephew, grandma won't think about it anymore?" ”

Before Aunt Li could speak, Aunt Cui said jokingly: "Mrs. Bai, you want to marry a young lady with a purple jade hairpin, and you have to make a dowry after this purple jade hairpin, which means that you have blackmailed us a young lady for nothing?" ”

When Aunt Gao heard that it was a joke, she laughed and agreed. Aunt Li frowned, and Bai Liu's heart was furious: My brother was a scholar of the Eastern Pavilion University of the First Emperor, and his official rank was also a dignified second-rank civil official. Shi Zhongyuan is just a third-rank military attache in the DPRK, and his official rank is still below his brother. Even if the imperial court wants to emphasize martial arts over literature, Shi Zhongyuan himself should be somewhat self-aware. Today, I have repeatedly bowed down, and these women clearly have the intention to refuse and insult us. Not only did he not put his brother in his heart, but he didn't even say sorry for breaking such a valuable object, it was so rampant and arrogant, and heaven and earth did not tolerate it.

Bai Liushi said humbly: "A purple jade hairpin is not worth a few dollars, but my nephew has been thinking about Miss Wanrong for a long time, if Aunt Li can change her mind, even if she accompanies a few more hairpins, I am willing." ”

Aunt Li was a little embarrassed, and said: "Mrs. Bai, our master holds the false name of the ancestors, but to be a poor official, in the past few years, the head jewelry of the wives and aunts in the family, and the gifts sent to usher, are all bought from your shop, not to mention hundreds of thousands a year, the friendship between the two families is still there, only in the future, we will often come and go, don't give birth." ”

When the Bai Liu clan heard this, they were disheartened, even if they wanted to slow down this matter again, they were afraid that they would not be able to return to the sky.

"Yes, there are so many jewelry shops in the capital, we only pick your family, it can be seen that our two families still have a friendship, you are a girl from the Liu family, a daughter who married out, and spilled water. Think about your business. Aunt Cui pretended to be sympathetic.

If you don't say it, the anger in Bai Liu's heart has increased unabated: "You still threaten me with my family's business, it's really hateful." If this breath is not vented, it will not be a shame for my Liu family. It's just that you are now proud and oppressive with power, and I am just waiting for the day when your tall buildings fall and your high walls collapse. ”

The heart poisoned the curse master's family, and he still complimented a few aunts, and only said: "In this way, you have to buy more today, otherwise I won't lose my wife and lose my soldiers?" ”

When everyone saw Bai Liu's Kenda joking with her family, they thought that she didn't care about it in her heart, so they all crowded in front of the table to choose their favorite jewelry.

A few cups of tea, dozens of pieces of jewelry, sold out, Wanying didn't know the poisonous curse in Bai Liu's heart, she only felt that she was ridiculed by her own people today, and was rejected to say goodbye, it was really pitiful, originally only planned to buy one or two, so with the shame in her heart, she picked four or five pieces at once, all of them were fresh and exquisite jewelry, even Wan Ting also picked three, and only said to Bai Liu's family: "You asked my mother for silver." ”

Bai Liu's family knew that this was a young lady from Uncle Shi's family, so he naturally didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly nodded in agreement.

After the sale of Bailiu's jewelry, because he was worried about the money of Wanting's three pieces of jewelry, he joked with several aunts: "I don't have a penny cheap today, and my grandmothers will have to take care of our business in the future." Originally, I wanted to ask a few grandmothers for a cup of tea, but because I had to go to the account office to settle the payment, I couldn't accompany the grandmothers to drink tea. ”

Bai Liu's words are reasonable, and there are advances and retreats. It was inconvenient for several aunts to stay, and they didn't get up to say goodbye, but just watched Bai Liu's leave.
