Chapter 343: Old Lady Xing's Gift
Xing Shuang got a letter at home here, knowing that the ship had arrived at the port, and hurriedly sent someone to inform Xianhetang and his wife. Then he asked the little guy who came to report the news: "Have you seen your grandmother?" ”
The little maid replied: "I haven't seen it yet, but Steward Lin saw the mark in the letter and knew that it was grandma's boat, so he let the little one come back first." ”
Xing Shuang was worried that Wang Xifeng was still dressed in Western clothes, for fear of scaring Jia's mother and his wife, so he hurriedly asked the little guy to prepare the car and pick it up in person. On the other hand, he asked Jin Chuan to go to Wang Xifeng's courtyard and asked for some of the usual clothes worn by his grandmother before.
After a while, Xing Shuang rushed to the dock, Wang Xifeng also went ashore, Xing Shuang got out of the car, she greeted her, saluted with a smile, and shouted: "Say hello to Mrs." ”
Xing Shuang looked at her with the car door, and was surprised for a moment that she had already changed into her regular clothes here, while sighing that this person had grown knowledge when he went out, and even his temperament had changed.
The original Wang Xifeng was sharp, even when he didn't speak, his eyes also shrewd. But now she is still full of style, but she is less domineering and more stable.
"Good boy, it's been a hard journey." Xing Shuang smiled and took her hand and took it to the car. Both of them got into the car, the carriage restarted, and Xing Shuang asked her again: "I'm still worried that you are wearing a Western dress, why did you change it so early?" ”
Wang Xifeng sighed in his heart that he was worthy of being a wife, and he was a little more thoughtful than others at any time. He explained with a smile: "This boat is just a small boat, and the boat I used to sit on can't stop in the Beijing Canal." Therefore, when the big ship arrived in Jiaodong, it docked, changed ships and then went to the capital. When I got off the boat, I was still wearing Western clothes, and when I saw the scenery of my hometown, I remembered that it was time for a change. ”
Xing Shuang forgot about this stubble, and said with a smile: "I also missed it, so that's good." ”
The two were not in a hurry to say anything else, but only gave the words correctly in the car, because they only told Jia's mother that they had gone to Gusu, Xing Shuang had to explain the situation of her brother's family to her, and asked her to make up some things when she was in Gusu, so that she could tell Jia's mother.
After a while, when he entered the General's Mansion, Xing Shuang took his daughter-in-law to the Xianhe Hall together, and only then did he enter the courtyard, and the maids greeted him one after another, saluting, but most of them stared at Wang Xifeng with a curious face.
Seeing them like this, Wang Xifeng couldn't help laughing, and laughed at the maids: "Look at you shallow-eyed, is it possible to wait for a reward?" Don't worry, hit the old lady and come out, you are indispensable. ”
The maids all laughed, and then they got out of the way, and a few went to the corridor to report the message, calling "The second grandmother is here". The rest followed behind, curiously looking at the slightly different second grandmother.
Wang Xifeng followed Xing Shuang into the house, first saluted Jia's mother and Mrs. Xing's old lady, and then got up and listened to Jia's mother's questions.
Wang Xifeng replied in an orderly manner, and Mrs. Xing was also looking at Wang Xifeng with good eyes, but the smile on her face was a little strange.
Xing Shuang was afraid that the old lady would see the clue, so she made an excuse, called the old lady to the ear room, and whispered to her old lady: "You just see something, don't make a noise." ”
Xing Lao Niang glanced at her daughter and said, "You and I are like you, so blind? But I hadn't seen her before, and I didn't see any difference now. I just think that this woman who has stayed abroad is different. It's a pity that I didn't have a good time, so it would be nice if I could go out and see it. ”
Xing Shuang was taken aback, and hurriedly asked her mother: "How do you know?" ”
Mrs. Xing was helpless, why was her daughter so stupid: "If you marry yourself and don't say anything, your uncle has a lot more conscience than you." The size of the family will be notified, otherwise how can you and I know you so much? ”
Xing Shuang breathed a sigh of relief, and said in her heart that if Jia Liang said it, it would prove that he believed in Mrs. Xing, then Mrs. Xing was on her side.
Thinking about it again, this is her own mother, if she doesn't stand on her own side, who can she stand on?
The mother and daughter were talking, and Jin Chuan came in from the flower hall outside and said, "The old lady asked where the eldest lady and the old lady Xing were." ”
The mother and daughter came out of the ear room and came to the flower hall with a smile.
"When I saw this girl, I felt very familiar, so I asked Shuang'er to go in and ask, it turned out that she was a family with the second wife?"
Jia Mu smiled: "It turned out that I was asking this, and the old sister was also a little cautious." Who in this family doesn't know that she is the niece and nephew of the second family. ”
Mrs. Xing said again: "Since this is the case, my gift is two points thinner, and I should add more." ”
Wang Xifeng hurriedly smiled: "What the old lady said didn't make her granddaughter-in-law embarrassed?" The granddaughter-in-law has just landed, and she doesn't even have the time to prepare a gift for the old lady. ”
When Mrs. Xing heard this, she laughed and said, "Come on, then you are at a loss, and you have to make up for me in the future." Someone, bring me my greeting gift! ”
A maid on the side had already taken the tray, and when she opened it, she saw that it was just a fan, and Xing Shuang, Jia Mu and the others couldn't see anything strange from a distance. Wang Xifeng was surprised, got up and walked quickly to the fan, and picked it up.
Xing Shuang also got up and walked over, and when she saw that the fan was smooth and undulating, but the picture was vivid, she knew that it must be the process of silk.
"The old lady is also partial, and she took these good things out one by one, but I didn't see any of them when I got married."
As soon as Xing Shuang's words came out, the old lady Xing laughed: "This idiot, where can we buy it at that time?" It was also earned by your brother as a merchant, and the family can only pay attention to these things when they have spare money. ”
Wang Xifeng couldn't put it down, smiled and thanked Mrs. Xing again and again, and looked at the fan and said: "I saw that my mother had a silk fan, but she didn't even touch it for me." Now that I have such a handful, if I can see her, I have to show off. ”
The process of silk is just emerging, and it is important to make something out of nothing, and the pattern is not embroidered, but sewn on by the warp, which is very time-consuming to make, and it is difficult for the rich to buy.
Nowadays, in addition to paying tribute, there are few things that can be bought on the market. Although Xing Shuang knew that the silk was precious, there was really no silk in the Jia family.
This time I really saw the silk, Xing Shuang couldn't help but be a little amazed in her heart, the craftsmanship of the ancients was really exquisite, and there was nothing to say.
Wang Xifeng saw that her mother-in-law was staring at her fan with a good look, and when her mother-in-law was jealous, she came out of Xianhetang and returned to Qingyuanju, so she sent the fan to Xing Shuang and wanted to transfer the fan to her.
