Looking at the Cui clan members sitting densely in the hall, Gu Mingzhu secretly gasped, sure enough, the century-old family is not comparable to ordinary people, compared with the Cui family, the Gu family is really scarce, and the elders of the clan who are sitting with heads and faces alone are already together, not to mention those relatives of the same generation and side branches.

Gu Mingzhu began to feel sorry for his knees, but he was afraid that he would have a sore back when he bowed down.

Cui Lin seemed to see her surprise, chuckled lowly, and whispered beside her: "Just follow me with peace of mind for a while." ”

Gu Mingzhu looked at him and snorted with a smile.

Cui Anshi, the old patriarch of the Cui family, has passed away for many years, and now the real decider of the Cui family is Mrs. Cui, who sat high in the hall and watched a couple of newcomers bow down in front of her.

Cui Linyushu is in the wind, Gu Mingzhu is delicate and moving, anyone who looks at it is pleasing to the eye, but the atmosphere in the hall is a little weird, many elders have paid attention to Gu Mingzhu, with a scrutinizing gaze, looking at the bride carefully.

The eyes of several clan elders were a little gloomy and did not have much joy, while a few others could not hide their joy and pride.

Old Madam Cui could see clearly, although Gu Mingzhu was standing in the hall and was stared at by a group of people, but she still looked calm and calm, smiled generously and calmly, standing beside Cui Lin, who was like a jewel, she was not inferior, and a smile slowly appeared on the old lady's face.

She smiled and nodded, "Okay, okay." ”

took the soup that Gu Mingzhu brought up, took a bite and put it down, and asked people to accept the unpacking gift from Gu Mingzhu, and gave Gu Mingzhu the recognition gift.

The recognition ceremony and small ceremony given by Mrs. Cui before were very valuable, but when she saw the recognition gift given by Mrs. Cui, Gu Mingzhu was still taken aback, it was a set of openwork Hetian topaz pomegranates, the pomegranates were carved to the same size as the real ones, and the abundant pomegranate seeds in the cracks were exposed, looking really full and lovely, the rarest thing was that the pomegranates were carved from a whole piece of lustrous topaz.

The clansmen on the side also saw it, they were all surprised, all of them here are knowledgeable, and naturally they all know that the value of Hetian topaz is better than that of Hetian white jade, because it is extremely rare, it can be said that it is difficult to find a piece, but Mrs. Cui gave this set of twelve topaz pomegranates to Gu Mingzhu as a recognition gift, and the intention in this is to weigh it carefully.

Old Madam Cui looked at Gu Mingzhu and said with a smile: "More sons and more blessings, more heirs and more blessings for the Cui family." ”

Gu Mingzhu bent his knees before following Cui Lin to the next elder to salute and recognize his relatives.

Zheng Yuan, who was standing far behind the second lady, saw it, but she pinched the fan in her hand tightly, and her fingers turned white, and she didn't suppress her anger.

She remembers clearly, when she first married into the Cui family, Mrs. Cui gave nothing more than that, at that time, it was said that the young ladies of the Cui family were almost the same, and they didn't treat each other differently because she was the wife of the Zheng family, she only thought that Mrs. Cui wanted a bowl of water, but when she saw Gu Mingzhu's recognition ceremony, she knew that it was not the case at all!

She looked at the pair of pedestrians in the hall who saluted the elders, and her heart was bitter and astringent, as if she had drunk wine.

She took advantage of the fact that people were talking about the recognition gift given by Mrs. Cui, and smiled softly with the eldest and young lady Xie on the side: "I heard that before the fifth brother and sister came, the queen mother also rewarded the fiefdom, but the first share among the county lords, the dowry was even richer. ”

"I don't know what the unpacking gift is, but it would be nice if it could give us a long experience."

Xie Shi has always been a big talker, and when he heard Zheng Yuan speak, he just smiled and didn't say anything.

However, the eyes of the second young lady Wang on the side lit up, and she nodded: "No, our fifth brother and sister are the county lords, and they are deeply valued by the queen mother, so this unpacking ceremony will definitely not be an ordinary thing, so let's take a look." ”

She stared at the large satin plate covered with satin held by the maid behind Gu Mingzhu, full of interest.

Gu Mingzhu didn't know about the conversation here, she was following Cui Lin to salute several clan elders and uncles and old ladies, with Old Madam Cui taking the lead, those old ladies were naturally not simple, everything was a treasure.

Seeing that the newcomer arrived at the second lady of Cui, she laughed, and after receiving the soup, she was not busy eating, and looked at Gu Mingzhu with a satisfied look: "A few elders, don't blame me for being frivolous, I really like the appearance of our fifth young lady, and the ornaments I gave me last time are also very strange, I don't know what it is this time?" ”

She smiled and said to Zheng Yuan behind her: "Come and show me, let me open my eyes." ”

Zheng Yuan pursed her lips and smiled, and asked the maid behind her to take the unpacking gift, and opened it herself, revealing the unpacking gift inside.

I didn't expect the second lady to be like this suddenly, and the clan elders who were sitting in the hall for a while also looked over there, and their eyes were focused on the unpacking ceremony.

Under the satin cloth are two embroidered handkerchiefs and four incense fans.

The handkerchief is embroidered with lotus seed treasure elephant pattern, although it is precious, but it is also an ordinary unpacking gift, and it is not brilliant.

It's just that the four incense fans make everyone's eyes shine, they are all made of thin white sandalwood, and the fan surface is carved with the four gentlemen of Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum, the fan is not big, just held with one hand, but it is exquisite workmanship, and it feels extraordinary when you look at it in the big plate.

Gu Mingzhu looked at the surprise of Second Lady Cui and Zheng Yuan, and smiled lightly: "This is a white sandalwood fan, which is a Siamese tribute, although it is not a rare thing, it can be regarded as a little interesting, and I hope that the second aunt will not give up." ”

The third young lady Wang on the side curiously picked up a handful and opened it, only to see that the plum blossom branches on it were vigorous, and the blooming plum blossom petals were clearly visible, and there was a dark fragrance between the gentle shaking, and she couldn't help but praise: "This is really a good thing, much better than the finch feather fans I got before." ”

Zheng Yuan's face suddenly darkened, glanced at the Wang family, and stood there without opening his mouth.

Wang knew what she meant, raised her eyebrows, didn't take it to heart, but smiled Yingying put the fan back and said to Second Mrs. Cui: "The second aunt looks good, and the fifth brother and sister are indeed good things." ”

He turned his head to look at the third lady again: "I don't know if this is the case in the Ah family." ”

Mrs. Cui San was not as flamboyant as the second lady, so she shook her head and said in a low voice: "Don't mess around." ”

looked at Gu Mingzhu embarrassedly: "Your second sister-in-law is a noisy character, don't be surprised to play with you." ”

Gu Mingzhu looked at the Wang family and Zheng Yuan, who had an ugly face over there, and said with a smile: "Second sister-in-law, this is not with me, it's too late for me to rejoice." ”

Mrs. Cui San smiled and nodded, took the soup offered by Gu Mingzhu, gave her the confession gift, and taught the Wang family to accept the unpacking gift she sent.
