Chapter 67 Guest

When Xia Meizhen entered the living room with tea, Jiang Rong's family was coming out of the inner room, full of envy on their faces.

Without waiting for Xia Meizhen to invite her to tea, Jiang Rong couldn't help but praise: "Sister Zhen is really good, such a good belongings, we can eat it for three or five years." ”

As he spoke, he sat down with Lao Wu at the top position.

Xia Meizhen listened to it, and was even more sure that someone had given them the news, but now was not the time to turn her face, so she said with a smile: "Uncle and aunt and cousin drink tea." Putting the tea on the small coffee table next to them one by one, when it came to Wu Chenghei, she asked with concern: "Did my cousin participate in the county exam this year?" ”

Before Wu Chengsi could answer, Jiang Rong said proudly: "Your brother Chengsi is a smart person, if it weren't for the master's pressure, he would have participated a few years ago." ”

Xia Meizhen looked sideways and asked, "Then my brother must be the first." She didn't want to fake with a smile, this time Jiang Rong didn't make a sound, Wu Chengsi said: "Brother is useless, this time I took the exam thirty." ”

Xia Meizhen's face was full of admiration, "It's amazing! ”

Then he said: "My mother said that my cousin will definitely go to high school this year, so I have already prepared a gift, and said that whether you come or we go to your house, we must give this gift to you." Since you're here, I'll go and get it. With that, he turned and went to the inner room.

As soon as she turned around, she couldn't laugh: these people are afraid that they will take her for a fool, what is there to be proud of in the exam of thirty!

Wu Chengsi's face changed when she entered the house, and she looked at her mother with great anxiety: after they entered the inner room just now, Jiang Rong took a fancy to a hosta inlaid on the dresser, so she took it casually, if this girl saw it at a glance and shouted out, wouldn't it be too embarrassing?

Anyway, she is also a person who has passed the county examination, what if her parents have a moral deficit and affect her future?

Jiang Rong didn't know what he was thinking, but she expected that Xia Meizhen would not and didn't dare to shout about it, and handed over a reassuring look, sure enough, Xia Meizhen didn't move for a long time, which made them feel a lot more at ease.

Xia Meizhen entered the inner room, and first checked on the dresser, because Jiang Rong and Jiang Yunxian are of the same age, this dressing thing is many and exquisite, and it is the best choice to take the sheep in hand, and Jiang Rong has a good calculation, and does not take the most valuable filigree gold hairpin, but a generalized inlaid jade hairpin, although the hairpin is exquisitely made, but the jade is not fixed, so it is not particularly valuable.

What a cunning woman!

If it is placed in someone else's place, it must be the first thing to check the most valuable things, if it is not lost, it will not be checked, if it weren't for Xia Meizhen herself being a particularly careful person, she really wouldn't be able to find her means.

Then Xia Meizhen checked other things, and then found that a piece of green jade stone was missing, this was the birthday gift he prepared for Mrs. Cheng, which was worth a lot of money, but it was taken by this family, which was really angry.

However, at this moment, she heard the sound of someone talking outside the courtyard gate, and immediately went out with a box of ginseng, and as soon as she came to the living room, she saw a short and fat woman coming in outside, and a smile spread in her eyes.

"I heard that there are guests coming in from your house, so I'll take a look." The pudgy woman said with a smile. She is a neighbor of the Xia family, and she usually visits the door everywhere when she has time, there is nothing she doesn't know in this Niutou Alley, and she is also the most gossip-minded ancient mother-in-law Xia Meizhen has ever seen.

Jiang Rong's originally calm heart was also a little uneasy, and she looked at her husband, but the man didn't seem to feel flustered at all, he looked like an old god, and Jiang Rong didn't know where to get angry, so she had to sit sullenly.

"Auntie, come and pull, come in and sit." Xia Meizhen said hello, while introducing Jiang Rong and the others: "This is Aunt Li next door, who often comes to the house to play," and said to Aunt Li: "This is my uncle, aunt and cousin, it's a coincidence that my mother went out, and I am always afraid that I will not greet me well, and I will give people jokes." ”

Aunt Li's eyes flashed, stared at Jiang Rong several times, and then greeted them with a smile, unceremoniously picked up the last seat and sat down, laughing, "That's a coincidence, you don't know, Sister Zhen and her mother went out yesterday, poor this little girl is at home, she still asked me to take care of Sister Zhen when she went out, no, I heard that someone came to the house, so I came to see if there was anyone to help." ”

After listening to Aunt Li'er's words, Jiang Rong's heart was put into her stomach, and she said with a smile: "Yes, my sister's family is polite, and she didn't want to tell us when she moved, for fear of tiring us; We were afraid that it would affect our brother's exam, so we didn't dare to come and disturb it. ”

opened her mouth and gave Xia Meizhen eye drops, for fear that others would not know that her family was very affectionate, if it was someone else, he would really believe it.

It's just that this Aunt Li is the most gossip-loving, Xia Meizhen's family moved over, and within five days, they figured out the causes and consequences of their family's move, plus Xia Meizhen intentionally or unintentionally revealed that they were kicked out of the clan, not to mention for their livelihood, and were robbed of their secret skills, and finally had to enter the Dai family as a maid, so Aunt Li didn't believe a word about Jiang Rong's words.

Aunt Li smiled, looked at the box in Sister Zhen'er's hand, and said, "Yo, you still bring such a heavy gift, Sister Zhen'er, you have to thank others." ”

The box containing ginseng is not the same as the box next to it, this Aunt Li'er's home is a pharmacy, so she can naturally recognize it at a glance, which is why Xia Meizhen chose ginseng instead of silk.

Jiang Rong's face was very ugly when she was stabbed by these words, but when she heard that it was a heavy gift, she felt comfortable again: this is a congratulatory gift for her son, that is, something from his family.

Xia Meizhen smiled, Aunt Li is very good at coming to things!

"This is a congratulatory gift from my mother to my cousin." As soon as I opened it, I saw a snow-white chubby ginseng lying inside, "My cousin's family doesn't lack anything, and we don't know what to give, but I heard that many students have bought ginseng for health, so we also prepared this." ”

In ancient times, ginseng was mainly wild, so the price was not cheap, so it was not an exaggeration for Aunt Li to say that it was a heavy gift.

Jiang Rong said with a smile on the side: "It's all a family, what are you doing so politely." He handed a look to Wu Chengsi and asked him to take it.

"Thank you aunt and sister."

Aunt Li's eyes flashed again, and she looked at Lao Wu, who was sitting like a transparent person, and had a plan in her heart, planning that after these people left, she must give this matter to Xia Meizhen and said.

And Jiang Rong also accepted it when she saw it, and said: "Actually, we have nothing else to do, since my sister is not at home, we don't want to stay long, so let's go back, and we will come back when my sister is at home that day." ”

Xia Meizhen personally sent it out again, and she couldn't say anything politely.

Seeing Jiang Rong's family get into the carriage and walk away, Aunt Li pulled Xia Meizhen over and said, "Girl, did they bring something here?" ”

Xia Meizhen blinked, "No." ”

"Then what are you doing with such a valuable gift? Such a family, if it were me, I would have been kicked out a long time ago. "Aunt Li doesn't have a good impression of Jiang Rong's family, especially Jiang Rong's approach, she can't get used to it, first drove her sister out of the clan, and then snatched other people's secret skills, and finally forced people to sell themselves into slavery and didn't let go, this top hateful person, how to look at it and hate it!

Xia Meizhen lowered her head and said, "They are elders, what can we do as juniors?" Even if they want money, they can only give it to them. ”

Aunt Li didn't like to hear this, and counted down: "Their lives are fate, aren't your lives fate?" You're such a girl! Everyone is bullied to the end, and they still help others talk! ”

Saying that, he shook his head, anxious in his heart: What's the use of this girl just making money, she doesn't have any heart at all, sooner or later she will be eaten by Jiang Rong's family and there will be no bones left!

This Xia Meizhen lowered her head, and she didn't know what she was thinking, but suddenly she raised her head and asked, "Why can't you give a heavy gift?" My cousin passed the county exam, and he was still thirty, isn't it a happy event, isn't it right for us to celebrate? ”

Hearing this, Aunt Li almost got angry, and said loudly: "Of course it's not right, he didn't treat you as a relative, why do you still treat him as a relative?" Isn't that unpleasant for yourself! ”

Xia Meizhen looked at her with bright eyes, Aunt Li knew that she had said something that she shouldn't say, and hurriedly said: "This is your family's business, we outsiders don't say much, you and your mother think about it more, I'll go." ”

Xia Meizhen grabbed her arm, took off the embroidered handkerchief around her waist and handed it over, "Aunt Li take it and play with it for your sister." ”

This is to borrow a handkerchief from her sister, Aunt Li glanced at the handkerchief deeply, it is a lily pattern, it is really beautiful, thinking of the relationship between Xia Meizhen and Caifenglou, I was also very happy, so I took it.

"Okay, I'll take my sister to thank you."
