Chapter 196, Tian's Longevity (2)
Tian's face is really ugly, originally, to put it well, Qiu Yu gave a set of silver heads, who knew that at the end, he only bought a silver hairpin and a pair of earrings, with a thin silver ring, anyone would say beautiful words, but when it came to the silver, I was distressed again. It seems that these three daughters are still better than Xia Yu, without any discount, and they really made a silk dress, I don't know how much effort it took.
Hey, if this is in the past, she cried and complained, the second son didn't send a set of noodles earlier, not to mention the gold, the silver is okay. Look at a few grandchildren's things, which one is not valuable? Knowing this, it's okay to coax Ziqing, Tian's heart couldn't help but be annoyed.
However, even at this time, Tian's heart was reluctant to complain that the three daughters were not angry, and he still thought that the second son's family was not kind, knowing that the conditions of the sisters' families were not good, and there was definitely nothing decent to take out, but this son was not willing to buy her the same jewelry, obviously he didn't want to give her this dignity, and wanted everyone to see her jokes. Tian secretly hated in his heart, and the handkerchief in his hand was twisted into a knot by her.
"Second sister, isn't it my sister who said it, on this good day, why are the three daughters like they were raised for nothing? You should also plug in some of the things they sent. Cheng Ri's family only saw a few of them, what good things were not sent to them, this is available to them, why can't they have a snack? Tian's sister said.
"No, it's not the third sister-in-law who said it, look at it, it's a good 60th birthday, and it's too plain on this head, it's okay. The granddaughter's chrysanthemum was bought at the right time, look at the shoes under your feet, and you don't deserve this clothes, you know this, you might as well talk to Ziqing, this child is kind, maybe you will give it all to you. The third mother-in-law said.
Tian was muttering in his heart that Zeng Ruixiang was not. It's just that I will hear my sister's complaint, isn't this a slap in the face in public? Tian was about to have a seizure, and the third sister-in-law deliberately inserted a pole again. Tian couldn't say a word.
Fortunately, Yan Renda spoke first. "What my aunt and Sanniang said was as if we had the money to give our mother-in-law flowers, we are not like some people. There are mountains of gold and silver at home, and they eat and drink spicy food every day, but they are reluctant to give their own mother's flowers. My family has even cleaned the flour and crumbs in the granary, but we really don't have them at home, and we can't steal them. Besides, we can't make a birthday for my mother, let's pull a famine, this day can't go on, right? Yan Renda spread his hand and said.
"I don't know if I gave it to my mother? If I don't give my mother flowers, how did the sons of the Ling family raise them? Daddy and mother send a big car to your house every year. You can use it once, and you will repay our father and mother for the nurturing grace of your family? Zeng Ruixiang stepped forward and asked.
"Second brother, you can't say that, my son has been raised in his father-in-law's house for a few years, but we haven't eaten in vain? We also send a lot of food every year. How much can a child eat? Yan Renda argued.
"Shut up, what kind of virtue is you, do you still know? Is there a send or not, you touch your own conscience, who wouldn't say? Zeng Ruiqing scolded without waiting for Yan Renda to finish speaking.
"No, others don't know, but I do. Yan's son-in-law is not telling the truth, no matter how difficult it is, he can't make a decent pair of shoes, how much money does this cost? You can see at a glance that the last time Ziqing got married, Lingjia Chunyu also took a pair of other people's shoes to make up the number, hey, I didn't expect to do the same to my own mother. The third mother-in-law said.
"Okay, let's not say a word, the guests are almost here, and we'll talk about it after we're done." The old man saw everyone's eyes sweeping over, and listened to the quarrel just now, and some were already whispering.
Kneeling begins, the grandchildren who have become relatives have to send congratulatory gifts, Zifu and Zilu Ziqing have discussed, Zifu is the eldest grandson, a white jade Ruyi, Zilu is a pair of jade earrings and a gold ring with a jade ring face, Ziqing is a pair of jujube red brocade embroidered with six longevity characters, and the middle of the forehead is a quail egg-sized jadeite, as well as the white jade bracelet, Ziqing comes with a loop, Ziping is a pair of ordinary shoes, and Da Mao They are a pair of socks.
A group of relatives and friends saw it and said: "I thought it was the second family's life was better than my father's mother, this doesn't seem to be the case, look at the people, several children are so generous, either gold or jade, anything is enough for us to eat for a year." How are they like those, white-eyed wolves are white-eyed wolves at all times, and a pair of socks will send away their grandmother's birthday, how many years have they been raised here? This act? This book is in the dog's belly. ”
"What do you know? This Zeng Xiucai is a good person, if you want to say that he is not filial, then you really can't find a few good ones. This Grandma Zeng has not been a day or two to her daughters, just when the family was separated, the food did not give a grain to the family, Zeng Xiucai took the child to give a gift to the festival, and a gift was a stone of wheat, but the pig that Grandma Zeng's family had just killed, was stunned and did not even give a bowl of pig blood to a few children to taste, and the daughters and grandchildren who were hanging on their lips all day long, hey, now they have tasted bitterness. The aunt of the Liu family next door said.
"No, the eldest daughter's family is too bad, don't drag the family to live in her mother's house for more than a month. A few years ago, the two grandmothers of the Zeng family poured things into her house, and they were not filial to the second son. In the past two years, I followed my eldest son, and my hands were a little tighter, so I was idle. This mother's 60th birthday is not even willing to eat a white-faced longevity peach, hey, I really have no conscience. The aunt of the Zhou family said to the door.
Ziqing saw that Tian's smile was really reluctant, and it was estimated that she had heard the discussion of others, originally, the house is such a big place, and the person who spoke seems to have intentions, so it's strange if you don't hear it? Tian's eyes glanced at it, and Chunyu's family took the purse and went to the side to count the copper plates with a smile, and there were six copper plates in the purse just for the reward. Looking at the mocking laughter of relatives and friends, Tian's heart was even more uncomfortable, and the smile on his face became more and more unbearable.
After kneeling, a group of relatives and friends and women from the neighborhood came forward one after another, wanting to take a closer look at the birthday gifts of Zifu, Zilu and Ziqing, and asked: "Aunt Zeng, what is this big white piece of jade?" It's worth it, can I touch it? ”
"This one, it's called Ruyi, it's only used by big families, I've seen it when I watched the play, but that one is fake, and I want to touch this real one." Someone replied.
"Ah, this green is also jade, right? How pretty, I haven't seen it yet? Grandma Zeng's family, this is much more valuable than the earrings on her ears, and this ring is still inlaid with gold, tsk, Grandma Zeng's blessing is good, and several grandchildren are so filial. I heard that the flowers on the head of the girl were also bought by the granddaughter from the capital, and the third mother-in-law also had a pair on the head. It's so beautiful. ”
"That's not it, look at this headband, it's also done so meticulously, tsk, it's better than the landlord's mother-in-law in the town, my mother, what kind of material is this? I didn't dare to touch it, for fear that my hands would be too laba, and I would tear this good material to the ground, and how much silver was it worth with such a large piece of jade? Aunt Zeng, this granddaughter is really generous, much stronger than her daughters, and there is a jade bracelet here, not to put it on, I see that your hands are also abrupt. Quickly changed these things, this dress must also be like a landlord's wife. ”
"What do you mean, isn't Zeng Xiucai's family a landlord, you don't know yet? Zeng Xiucai bought a lot of paddy fields, and Ziqing's family also bought a large piece of wasteland opposite the village, several hundred taels of silver. Grandma Zeng's life is good, and her grandson is also going to be a big official, so she can borrow light from her grandson, and she can still be an old lady of an official family in the future. This big family has really turned over now, and it is not a little stronger than before the separation. I have to say that people have the ability. Li Zhengjia said.
"This is also true, Xiang'er, if it weren't for the drag of the family, maybe I would have passed the exam a long time ago, and I would have been an official master a long time ago. This is not a poor family, but he was dragged home by his younger siblings after taking the exam. Fortunately, a few children are also angry, the family is a scholar, and life is also prosperous, so, as the old saying goes, children who can call have milk to eat, but children who are used to eating milk, can't find food by themselves, children who can't call, pitiful, I learned to find food early, but I also got a blessing in disguise, don't you say? The third mother-in-law said.
Everyone was gossiping, no one looked at how reluctant Tian's face was smiling, how helpless the response was, if this thing had been taken out earlier, then everyone's eyes would only be envious and red, but at this time, sentence by sentence, they were all laughing, laughing at her most favored daughters, and not giving face at all, especially Chunyu.
In fact, although the countrymen are simple, but there are a lot of little Jiujiu in their hearts, most of them have received some favors from Zeng Ruixiang or Ziqing on weekdays, and they have long been a little unaccustomed to Tian's approach, Tian's laziness, envy Tian's good son but don't know how to cherish it, this will be able to see Tian's jokes, see Tian's ugly, probably a very happy thing, not to mention the three mothers-in-law on the side.
It was Tian's sister who came over to relieve Tian's siege and said, "I've seen the good things, it's time to start the table, let's find a place to sit." Eat a few more glasses of wine later. My second sister also has to take a breath and put it in place. ”
After Xiao Tian finished speaking, the table began to be served, and everyone sat separately, and their attention was also attracted by the dishes on the dinner table, after all, most people are poor, and it is difficult to eat a little meat and vegetables seriously on weekdays. Tian's face looked a little better.
The arrangement of the banquet is naturally Zeng Ruiqing's final say, and it is naturally not a little worse than the banquet organized by Zifucai. Fortunately, everyone also understands people, knowing that Zeng Ruixiang is not the eldest son, he has no right to speak, and he doesn't have too much provocativeness, so he basically dispersed after eating, as for what gossip to say when he goes home, it is not something that the Zeng family can control.
