Chapter 398: Palace Flower
Xing Shuang raised her eyebrows and almost laughed.
She still thought that without the Xue family living at home, the matter of sending palace flowers would be gone? Feelings are still going to happen? It's just that this time, Zhou Rui's family is not on an errand in the house, and the Wang family doesn't hate Daiyu. I don't know what kind of bad intentions this Aunt Xue is going to make to treat Daiyu coldly.
The box was taken out, and there were piles of yarn in it, and the style was fresh, but after all, it was a pile of yarn, and it was not very valuable.
These palace flowers, if in modern times, are cultural heritage, and they are naturally valuable. But in this era, it is nothing more than a group of craftsmen, and it is not new.
It's not surprising that there are new styles every year.
Wang Shi only looked at it twice and was not interested, she was not very interested in palace flowers, she liked jade ornaments.
However, Xing Shuang took out the palace flower in it with great interest and played with it carefully.
"The style is really fresh, even when I see it, I like it." Xing Shuang said with a smile, his eyes looked into the box, and he quickly counted it, and sure enough.
Counting Daiyu, there are a total of five girls in the family, plus two grandmothers. In the book, there is a pair of three springs, two Lin Daiyu, and four are given to Wang Xifeng. There are twelve palace flowers in total.
Here, not only is Wang Xifeng biased, but Li Kun is missing. That's it, and Zhou Rui's family specially went around in a circle, and then gave the last two to Daiyu, no wonder Daiyu lost her temper and supported herself.
Daiyu sent people under the fence and should be a guest. Even if this is to send palace flowers, it is to come to the guests first, but give her the leftovers, which is a clear slap in her face. If she doesn't lose her temper at this time, the people in the house will only take her less and less seriously in the future.
It's just that her tantrum also left her with a bitter reputation, all of which was passed down by Zhou Rui's family.
Aunt Xue is optimistic about people, knowing that this Wang family has never liked Daiyu, and Zhou Rui's family is Wang's henchman, so she deliberately took out the palace flower when Zhou Rui's family came and "entrusted" her to run errands.
And Zhou Rui's family couldn't pay attention to this meaning, so naturally they followed Aunt Xue's idea and turned around, ruining Daiyu's reputation by the way.
Now, it was not Zhou Rui's family who sent the flowers, but directly asked Xing Shuang and Wang to bring them back, but the flowers in this box could not be counted.
If it's singular, it's more, and if it's even, it's less.
"Who is this for?" Xing Shuang asked with a smile.
Aunt Xue smiled and said, "The rest have been sent, and the rest are all here, and I haven't counted them, so I'll give them all to you, and I'll divide them for myself." ”
Xing Shuang smiled again and handed the box to Wang: "You take it, I don't want to do this thing of borrowing flowers to offer Buddha." ”
Aunt Xue was anxious when she saw this, and said: "It's good for the sister-in-law to take it, the sister-in-law is in charge, and it is assigned to everyone, and she should also be the sister-in-law." ”
Seeing that his sister was so abnormal, Wang mentioned it in his heart, and directly took the box and said: "Since my sister-in-law refuses to be such a good person, I will come." ”
Aunt Xue's smile twitched, and she secretly said in her heart, why can't my sister understand?
Xue Baochai smiled on the side: "Since my aunt and aunt are here, why don't you eat and leave?" ”
Aunt Xue glanced at her daughter, and when she saw her daughter glaring at her, she hurriedly echoed: "Exactly, I have excellent bad goose paws here, and my sister didn't like to eat this the most in the past?" I've got a lot of them ready for you today, so you can eat enough. ”
Wang responded in one bite, and Xing Shuang also had to respond. Anyway, I had already greeted the old lady before I came out, and Li Kun and Sister Feng were also serving at home for dinner, so I didn't care if I didn't go back.
So in the evening, Xing Shuang and the Wang family stayed for dinner, and Xue Baochai went out during the banquet, and Xing Shuang kept an eye on it. There was nothing new after the table, only that on the way back, after getting into the carriage, Xing Shuang asked the Wang family to open the palace flower box and take a look.
Wang opened the box, looked at it through the oil lamp in the car, and seemed to be a little puzzled: "Why does it seem to be more?" ”
Xing Shuang smiled and didn't speak.
Sure enough, it was Xue Baochai, who already knew his mind in a few words, and at the same time, in order not to embarrass his mother, he made up for it while he was eating.
In this box, there were originally nine palace flowers, if there was one for each person, there would be three more for the girl and grandmother in total. And if there are two sticks per person, these nine sticks are not enough.
Xing Shuang knew that Aunt Xue was embarrassing herself and wanted to make her difficult distribution. At that time, I can only have one for each person, and the remaining two will be left by myself.
But in this way, it will give people the impression that they love to be cheap. is a dignified wife, and even a few palace flowers have to be ignored, and she really can't get on the stage.
But she turned her hand and stuffed this errand to the Wang family, and Aunt Xue was in a hurry.
The Wang family will definitely not keep it by himself, the big deal is to pay for a few more to make up the whole number, and then everyone will send it.
Although she was able to pass satisfactorily, her impression in front of her sister was also broken. Originally, he was angry at the New Year's ceremony, and deliberately gave a few points less to his sister's family, if this palace flower still embarrassed my sister, then the relationship between the two families will be really difficult in the future.
Therefore, Xue Baochai's relief made Aunt Xue happy, but at the same time, Xing Shuang also realized more clearly how difficult Xue Baochai was to deal with.
A twelve-year-old child can be so scheming, you can't be guarded against!
Wang was still wondering how it looked like half a box of flowers during the day was full at night, but Xing Shuang closed the lid and said with a smile: "Don't look at it, maybe it's the lights at night, you see it." ”
Seeing this, the Wang family didn't want to say more, but when he returned to the house, after changing his clothes and freshening up, he sat on the edge of the kang and sighed heavily.
Seeing this, Jin Xi asked thoughtfully: "What's the matter, Mrs., well, sigh." ”
Wang shook his head, his mouth was bitter: "My sister...... And this niece...... But he's not a simple person. ”
Jin Xi smiled: "Where did Mrs. start with this? ”
Wang smiled bitterly: "She didn't remember the kindness of her sister-in-law who helped her take over the family property, and now she has a grudge against my sister-in-law because of Baochai's child."
"There are not so many flowers in this palace today, she is afraid that she is just thinking that my sister-in-law will be unevenly divided and embarrassed. And after the sister-in-law saw through it, the child of Baochai added a number to it, but we didn't know.
But if my sister-in-law doesn't say it, how can I not succeed in my heart. I'm afraid that this time, they have offended their sister-in-law miserably. ”
Jin Xi hurriedly said: "The eldest lady is kind and kind, and she is the wife's own sister over there, so there is no overnight feud in the future." ”
Wang shook his head with a wry smile: "Now it's not my sister-in-law who won't let her go, but my confused sister, will she let go of her sister-in-law." Today's sister-in-law refuted her face twice, and she must hold a grudge. ”
