The big flower hall is very lively, full of female dependents, the Wang family is turning around to entertain them, but the small flower hall is a little more quiet, compared to the joy outside, the atmosphere here seems to be a little dignified.

Mrs. Cui and Mrs. Cui accompanied several old ladies in the clan to sit in the small flower hall, Gu Mingzhu and Xie also sat aside, the old lady did not leave Qin Niang to serve in the room, she also sat in the small flower hall.

Several old men in the clan were all pale at this time, and sighed from time to time: "...... According to today's day, the Zheng family should not be invited, where are they sincerely here to congratulate their birthday, I am afraid that they have other intentions. ”

"After all, the Zheng family has been friends for many years, and they have always been in-laws, how can they not be invited to a birthday banquet, but ......"

The second lady was originally uneasy, and she was worried about what the old lady and Mrs. Zheng said in the room, and at this time she couldn't help but interject: "I'm afraid that the Zheng family has a plan, and I don't know what to say." ”

The third old lady snorted coldly: "If it weren't for the fact that the Zheng family had already harbored evil intentions, and took advantage of our unpreparedness to collude with the DPRK and China to block our north-south passage in one fell swoop, why would our Cui family have to look at their faces, they have been the leaders of the Cui family for a hundred years, and they are just subservient." ”

The fourth old lady smiled bitterly: "What's the use of talking about this now, now the lifeblood of the Cui family has been pinched, and we can only bow our heads and be at the mercy of others, but I don't know what price the Zheng family will ask us to pay before we are willing to give up." ”

The eldest lady has been silent for a long time, and she has not spoken for a long time, and Gu Mingzhu, who is under her, has a calm expression, not only because she believes in Old Madam Cui, the old lady has been able to sit in the Cui family for so many years, and naturally there is nothing to worry about in the face of the Zheng family and Mrs. Zheng, but also because she has long known that Cui Lin has already thought of a way, and she does not have to worry about being restrained by the Zheng family at all.

The second lady was in a hurry, and her voice rose a little: "Could it be that the Zheng family is so arrogant?" ”

The qin lady on the side whispered a few words to the maid beside her, and the maid bent her knees, went to the side to open the incense burner, carefully changed the incense tower inside, and took a few pieces from the purse and put them in.

This was just an inconspicuous move, but Gu Mingzhu noticed it, raised her head slightly, swept her eyes over the purse in the handmaid's hand, her eyes tightened, and she withdrew it and didn't look at it again.

Soon, a faint and quiet fragrance slowly appeared in the small flower hall, refreshing people's hearts and spleens, and inadvertently quieting people's impetuous hearts.

The third old lady couldn't help but glance back and laughed: "Qin Niang's incense is getting better and better, this is the benzoin made some time ago, right?" ”

Qin Niang blushed slightly and nodded: "Yes, what I sent to the old ladies is this newly blended benzoin, which is the most quiet and recuperating." ”

The fourth old lady sighed: "That's it, what can we do, wait with peace of mind." ”

The Qin Niang on the side sighed with a gloomy face, and said softly: "For this matter, the old lady is also not at ease every day, and seeing that her body has also been reduced a lot, it is really uneasy. ”

The second lady glanced at Qin Niang and smiled: "Qin Niang is dedicated to the old lady, and we all know it." If it weren't for Qin Niang's dedication to taking care of the old lady over the years, we wouldn't be so at ease. ”

This is what several old ladies agree with, a few days ago Qin Niang also asked people to send them a new benzoin past, although Qin Niang has been raised in the Cui family these years, but they are also respectful, so when the clan intended to use Qin Niang and Cui Lin as a side room, they were also in favor.

Qin Niang was full of worries, lowered her head and bit her lower lip lightly, hesitated for a while, finally got up, and took the handmaid's hand to several old ladies and eldest ladies and second ladies to bow down: "After all, it's not mine, seeing that the old lady is now having trouble sleeping and eating for the affairs of the clan, but she can't share her worries, it's really guilty." ”

Several old ladies and Mrs. Cui didn't expect Qin Niang to be like this suddenly, and they couldn't help but be taken aback, and were about to speak, but they were shocked by her next words.

“…… Qin Niang has been raised by the Cui family for many years, and she has nothing to repay, and she is willing to give all her companions to the clan, which can be regarded as a dedication. ”

She actually wanted to give all her companions to the Cui family!

For a while, everyone was shocked, everyone knew that Qin Niang had the rich family wealth left to her by the Xun family, which even the Cui family could not underestimate, but she was willing to give it to the Cui family like this.

Although the Cui family has raised her for many years, this is too heavy.

Several old ladies were just emotional, but Mrs. Cui's face couldn't help but change, and the second lady was even more stunned, looking at Qin Niang in shock, and it took a long time to collect a little, but she looked at Mrs. Cui gloomily, her eyes were complicated and she couldn't see what her mood was.

Xie Shi was also taken aback, his hand holding the tea pot trembled, and he whispered to Gu Mingzhu: "What's the matter, how could she take out all that, isn't that her dowry?" ”

Gu Mingzhu was the only one present who had an indifferent face and didn't look at Qin Niang at all, with a cold smile on the corner of her mouth, gently rubbing the celadon tea pot in her hand, as if she didn't care about the scene in front of her at all.

Others may not know what Qin Niang means, and they are very surprised by her actions, and even think that she knows how to repay her kindness, and she does not hesitate to give all her family wealth to the Cui family to help the Cui family get through the sadness, who will not praise a sentence of affection and righteousness.

But it was Qin Niang's dowry, and the dowry was given to the Cui family, how could the Cui family remarry her?

Seeing Qin Niang worshipping there with a sincere face, the second old lady finally sighed and opened her mouth: "You are a good boy, this heart alone is very thankful, hurry up, if you have anything to say, say it slowly." ”

I don't say I accept it or don't accept it, because it is Mrs. Cui who is in charge of the clan, and no one can just agree if she is not there.

Qin Niang also knew that this matter would have to wait for Mrs. Cui to make a decision in the end, so she got up meekly, thanked the second old lady in a low voice, and sat down on her couch, lowering her eyebrows, unable to see the slightest difference in her expression.

It's just that the eyes of the people around them are different, and they all know that this matter will spread soon, and in the end, the Cui family is afraid that they will have to give Qin Niang an explanation anyway.

Although Xie Shi was a little sluggish, he also thought of this, his expression suddenly became uneasy, he gently pulled Gu Mingzhu's sleeve, and said in a low voice: "Fourth brother and sister, I don't know what is going on in the inner hall, you might as well go over and take a look." ”

Gu Mingzhu looked up and saw Xie Shi's worried gaze, knowing that she had good intentions, and wanted to let herself go to meet the old lady first, so that she could also take the lead, so as not to be caught off guard at that time.

However, she didn't plan to go over, smiled at Xie Shi, and thanked her in a low voice.
