"No, how can you forget about this big event? Bodhisattvas will blame, Amitabha, sins and sins. It's not possible today, I think it's the first day of the next month, let's be sincere, what do you say, Mrs. in-law? Shen asked.

Before Ziqing could reply, the Shen family was busy, and Ziqing couldn't refuse, besides, this wish was a must.

"Okay, then it's decided, on the first day of next month, I'll wait. Come over early, there are a lot of people that day, let's go early, and come back to have a meal at my house. Mrs. Xia said.

Finally got out of the gate of the Xia family, Ziqing asked Ziyu: "What's the matter with your mother-in-law, won't it be because I heard what you said, Yanran is rich and noble, so she moved her mind, right?" And the glass factory, I'm afraid you also told her about it, right? I wasn't so enthusiastic when I came last time, and I disliked that your brother-in-law was a white man. Did she embarrass you for anything? ”

"That's not true, she just mentioned to us, how much is the benefit of kissing and kissing, I didn't answer her. But you asked me a lot about when you were a child, and you know that our family first made a fortune because of my sister, and I know that my sister knew how to buy mountains and plant fruit trees at the age of seven, and sold lanterns at the age of eight, and praised my sister a lot. ”

"Your mother-in-law is too shrewd, when I saw that Ziqing didn't agree, I was out of line, and when I thought of going to repay my wish, my brain was still turning fast, but I was afraid that she hadn't given up yet. I can't get used to seeing her eyes on the top of her head, and I thought that the big families in the city are amazing. I don't think there are as many good things as Ziqing. Qiu Yu said.

"That's right, I just knew, it's really not as rich as my sister's family, how many people did my sister's family buy? The Xia family only has five or six shops in Anzhou City, and there are less than 1,000 acres of fertile land at home, how can they compare with their sister? When my mother-in-law saw a lot of my clothes and jewelry, she said it was too expensive. I said that it was all given by my sister, and I asked her which one she liked, but she was embarrassed to ask for it, saying that it didn't suit her. The Xia family has a total of three rooms plus six maids, and there are more than ten people in my sister's family, Guangqing Garden, right? ”

"What do you know, the Xia family has also been a county leader for all these years. How can I let you know the background of her family? What's more, the Xia family used to be the squires of Anzhou, and they were much stronger than people like us. Ziqing said.

"That's it, Yu'er chews less maggots. You have no conscience, I didn't give you a dowry? Why did all the good things become given by your sister? Shen poked Ziyu's head.

"You ask the third sister-in-law. Is the clothing and jewelry given by my sister better than that given by my mother? Isn't it, third sister-in-law? ”

"The clothes are pretty much the same, and the jewelry is indeed the eldest sister's. However, for the first time, I found that my eldest sister is very good at talking. I heard Xianggong say that the eldest sister is so smart, and every time she goes shopping, she can buy good things that others don't know. Yang said.

"That's just two coincidences, how can there always be something good for me to pick up? Mother. According to me, let's go to Fu's house first, and if we go back after going to the street, it seems that we are going to eat dinner. Ziqing said.

"Sister, you and your mother go to Fu's house, I'll go to the second brother's restaurant to have a look, why don't I just wait for you there, I guess you come out." It's time to be hungry, so you're going to go to the streets after dinner, right? Zishou said.

In the Xia family, Mrs. Xia didn't have time to entertain Zishou, and Zishou felt a little uncomfortable. The threshold of the Fu family is higher, and Zishou doesn't want to enter.

"Little San, Mrs. Fu is not that kind of person, you better take a look." Ziqing knows Zishou's thoughts, but after all, the Fu family is a confidant of Anzhou City, and if Zishou wants to do something in the future, he can also leave a way for himself, so he can get acquainted with it first.

Shen also said that this was what he meant, but Qiu Yu was very happy. smiled: "It's worth my trip this time, and I can also be a guest at the house of the big officials in Anzhou City, so I have to show my face to them when I go back." ”

As soon as Ziqing and his entourage arrived at the door of Fu's house, the concierge of the Fu family recognized that Shen was coming, and someone ran in to reply, and someone here led everyone into the door.

Qiu Yu's eyes rolled around. didn't judge much, before she arrived at the second door, Mrs. Fu came out, the little girl Ziqing saw last time, the second miss of the Fu family, also accompanied Mrs. Fu, and she already looked like a little girl, much more delicate than her eldest sister.

Mrs. Fu greeted everyone and greeted them one by one, even Qiu Yu didn't pull it down, and said with a smile: "This is the sister-in-law of Zeng's son-in-law, it's the first time to come to the door, there are places that are not well greeted, so take care of them." ”

Qiu Yu was a little flattered and a little nervous, after all, it was the first time she had seen such a big official lady take the initiative to say hello to her. hurriedly stumbled back, "Madame doesn't dare to be." It made the crowd laugh.

Fu Shi pulled Yang Shi to ask a few sentences about the Shou exam, Zishou did not enter the second door, and was welcomed to the outer courtyard to drink tea by the Fu family's housekeeper.

"Auntie, you have to ask one by one, and when you finish asking, we should also leave." Ziqing said with a smile.

"Besides, why didn't you bring your baby? I'm looking forward to it, you don't say it when you give birth to a child, you don't say it when it's a full moon, I think something is wrong, I send someone to inquire, even a hundred days have passed, and I should beat you according to my temperament, but I can't do it, and I still think about what kind of gift to give the child? After Mrs. Fu finished speaking, the Shen family laughed, and Qiu Yu was not so nervous when she saw that Mrs. Fu was so easy-going.

"Isn't that a good intention? Thinking that my family has a lot of children, I am worried that my aunt will find out and complain, 'Why did you have children again?' Is there any end to it? I don't know how much this gift and that gift have I gotten this year? 'Didn't I want to save some money for my aunt?' Since my aunt doesn't appreciate it, I will bring my child's birthday and New Year's birthday in the future, so let my aunt watch it, right? ”

Mrs. Fu pointed at Ziqing and smiled speechlessly, and Shen pulled Ziqing and smiled: "This kid, look at the frivolous way you are used to?" It wasn't like that before, was it? How do you talk to your in-laws? It's too big or too small. ”

Ziqing hurriedly saluted Mrs. Fu after hearing this, and said: "I'm happy for a while, if I am offended, I hope that Mrs. will take care of me more, Mrs. knows that I was also a vulgar country girl." ”

Mrs. Fu relieved herself, took Ziqing's hand, and smiled at Shen: "It's okay, there are no outsiders, and your own family is not casual?" Although I haven't suffered a lot, I was also from a small family, but I came out a few years earlier with his father, and I can't learn those twists and turns. ”

Ziqing listened to the secret words, no wonder Fu's temperament is not like those ladies, it turns out that he is a teacher.

After sitting in the Fu family for a while, Ziqing learned that the eldest son of the Fu family was sixteen years old this year, and he was a Xiucai, studying in Anzhou Mansion, and was not admitted to the Egret Academy. Mrs. Fu was quite sorry.

Coming out of the Fu family, Qiu Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I don't come to these officials' homes anymore, I'm scared to death, I don't even dare to speak, I wonder, Ziqing has never been out, how can I feel so much stronger than the world I have seen?" ”

"Sister-in-law, isn't the Fu family more kind?" Yang asked.

"Then I'm nervous, no matter how I say that someone's identity is there, as soon as she talks to me, I don't know how to reply." Qiu Yu said.

"Sister-in-law, I see that you are still very confident when you contradict my mother-in-law." Ziyu asked.

"That's different, doesn't your mother-in-law look down on me? I couldn't help but say a word about her. Besides, the official of her family is not as big as Zifu, even if I bumped into her, there is also Zifu, and besides, your mother is a five-grade fate, and she is not a big official's wife. Qiu Yu said.

I have to say that Qiu Yu's idea is the most common and direct cognition of most rural women, your family official is smaller than mine, why do you put on a swag and look down on me?

A few people laughed while talking, and entered several cloth shops, the cotton cloth that Ziqing asked for was not a little bit, the general cost of four hundred and fifty wen a horse, and the worse one was four hundred wen, Ziqing went to several of them, and finally Shen took Ziqing to the cloth shop where Shen used to go, that is, the one where Ziqing bought red silk to make lanterns, but I didn't expect it to be there.

Xiao Er looked at Ziqing's clothes, and hurriedly walked over, Shen is still familiar with this family, Ziqing took a fancy to five kinds of durable and dirt-resistant cheesecloth, each cotton cloth is twenty horses, the more the shopkeeper listens, the more he can't close his mouth, each one is cheaper than twenty Wen, Ziqing finished these, and then turned around carefully, wanting to buy a thicker piece of fabric for Shen and Zeng Ruixiang.

When Shen heard that Ziqing was going to buy clothes for her, he hurriedly excused himself and said, "Didn't I tell you, the clothes at home can't be worn, except for those, your eldest brother and junior have to bring a lot of them every time they go home, and you also bring them to me." It's all piled up in the warehouse, where can I wear it? ”

"Mother, before you go out in the morning, didn't you say that you still have to wear plain clothes for the New Year this year, and everything we prepared in the past was festive." Ziqing said.

"That's right, mother, listen to my sister, or see what's suitable?" Ziyu also persuaded.

The shopkeeper specially took a dark green Luo, saying that it was new in Suzhou, a twenty-foot horse, four taels of silver, Ziqing picked one for the Shen family, and he could also make one for Zeng Ruixiang.

Ben also wanted to buy one for Qiu Yu, since they went out together, there was no reason for her to fall behind, but I didn't expect Qiu Yu to refuse, and said: "We don't have a place to wear it out, so we don't have to waste money." ”

When Shen heard her say this, he said: "Since you are here, there is no reason to be empty-handed, you can pick one, it is rare for everyone to come out." ”

When Qiu Yu heard this, she asked for a lotus-colored flower cotton cloth and a pink and blue muslin cloth, because for them, cotton cloth was suitable. This only cost a tael of silver. Shen nodded secretly, feeling that Qiu Yu was really different from before.

The shopkeeper is a smart one, it is rare to meet such a big customer as Ziqing, as soon as he made a move, he bought hundreds of horses, and specially gave Ziqing a fine white cotton cloth, suitable for making underwear, Ziqing looked at the ready-to-wear hanging in the shop again, because Ziqing never came out, and I don't know what kind of clothes people in the city practice.

Ziqing paid the deposit and walked out with everyone, next to the Wen family's big silver building, Ziqing didn't want to buy anything, but Ziyu said: "Mother, my sister has bought clothes, why don't I give my mother a few pieces of jewelry, speaking of which, I haven't bought anything for my mother." ”

Shen didn't follow, so Ziqing Ziyu pushed Shen into the door. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
