Hearing that the silver ingots were going to be exchanged for copper coins, Xia Ruixi hesitated, "This is not good, I'm afraid that Bijin will laugh at me and say that I have backtracked." ”

"No, is a very sensible girl, otherwise she wouldn't have stayed by my side for so long."

Xia Ruixi looked at Ou Qingjin's expression very seriously, it seems that Bi Jin gave him a very good impression, this is a bit tricky, she asked herself if she is not a ruthless and unreasonable person, but she is not a person who is generous enough to share her husband with others.

Xia Ruixi didn't say anything more, did as Ou Qing ordered, and said softly: "I can't recognize many people who are sophisticated, you have to mention me more, don't let me make jokes." ”

Ou Qing smiled and said, "How could I let you make a joke?" Didn't you say it just now, your face is equal to my face, and now you will say this to me again. He lowered his voice: "Everyone says that your family is very rich, and the dowry sent by your family is so eye-catching, you must not be too generous, this head can't be opened, I'm afraid that some people will be ashamed of eating people, and besides, you have to overpower others, just afraid that you will offend people." ”

The three sisters-in-law in his family, in terms of background, are not lower than Xia Ruixi, but in terms of dowry, they can't catch up with Xia Ruixi.

Xia Ruixi originally thought like this, everything has a first come, first come, young and orderly, that is, from the perspective of respecting her sister-in-law and trying to have a good relationship with everyone, she should not cross them, be low-key and decent, and before coming, Mrs. Xia prepared a reward for her to the Ou family.

The reason why she would give such a rich reward to Bijin was just to test the depth and ask for directions, seeing Ou Qingjin explain her like this, she was happy to be an obedient little daughter-in-law, and winked: "What should I do if people say I'm stingy?" ”

"As long as he doesn't talk to you, he says his, the new daughter-in-law will always be criticized, at most for a few days, they will get used to it and live in peace. It's still early, tell me how you prepared for other people's tips? ”

Xia Ruixi hurriedly said: "Except for the people in your room, the chief steward is the purse like just now, and in the other rooms, the first-class ones are all fifty coppers, the second-class ones are reduced by ten, the third-class ones are reduced by ten, and so on, do you think it is appropriate?" ”

Ou Qing said: "It's very suitable, just do it as you want, are the meeting gifts in that room ready?" ”

Xia Ruixi took out a list from his sleeve and handed it to him, he looked at it for a while, and nodded again and again: "This is drawn up by my mother-in-law, it is very thoughtful, generous, good-looking, and practical, so let's do it." ”

Xia Ruixi leaned over and said, "How is it written this time?" She had been practicing her words for a long time, and it was finally time for the road to come on the road.

Ou Qingjin frowned: "Generally, I'm afraid it will take another ten or eight years of practice before I can barely get into the eye." ”

Xia Ruixi's face darkened, "Then you should teach me." She knew he was very good at handwriting, but she didn't have to despise her so much, right?

"Well, as long as you endure hardships, I will teach you to cover you for three or five years."

Xia Ruixi said secretly: "Don't be ashamed." ”

Ou Qingjin smiled: "Don't worry, there are more people who are better than you in handwriting, but I like to write not as well as mine." ”

Xia Ruixi was overjoyed when he heard this: "If you dare to love you, you want me to set you off." She knew the truth he was telling the truth, if he wanted to find someone who could write well, there were more people than her who could write well, for example, Yang Wu, one of the four celebrities in Xijing City, who was famous for her writing, but her handwriting was not comparable to how many men, how many years did she stay alone in the empty boudoir, didn't she just want to marry him wholeheartedly? But he didn't look at her more.

Xia Ruixi was happy in her heart, and her gaze at Ou Qingjin softened a lot, she seemed to suddenly realize that he was really a very attractive man, some people looked unattainable from afar, but in fact, they were closer, and there was no difference between him and you, he was not a man with facial paralysis, nor was he an iceberg, he would also make people happy and make people happy.

Xia Ruixi looked at the corners of his clothes that were a little wrinkled, and couldn't help bending down to drag him, patting the dust on his shoes, and then looking up, his eyes were bright, staring at her, and she was embarrassed, "Why are you looking at me like this?" ”

He took her hand, gave her a whole hairpin ring, and whispered, "I used to boast that I was quite accurate in seeing people, but I used to have times when I looked away. ”

Xia Ruixi knew that he was talking about a refusal of marriage, so he pouted: "Then it's no wonder you, who called me famous, besides, how do you know now that I am the kind you imagined, maybe you still look away?" ”

Ou Qingjin smiled, "No, I didn't dislike your reputation at that time, but..."

Just what? Xia Ruixi was a little nervous, but he didn't say anything, she was about to ask, a brightly dressed mother-in-law with two daughters-in-law stood at the door and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the fourth young master, the fourth young grandmother, you two got up really early, and the servants are so polite." ”

Ou Qing smiled when he heard this: "Granny Wang, are you here?" Come on in? ”

This should be someone sent by Second Lady Ou, Xia Ruixi gathered his thoughts, stood up straight, raised a smile, and tried to put on a dignified, steady and skillful appearance.

Mrs. Wang and the others entered the door, smiled and saluted the two, respectively got a first-class, two second-class red seals, Wang Pozi turned out to be Chun'er handed over a sandalwood box with Yuan Hong, the three of them glanced at the white silk, and then looked at Xia Ruixi and congratulated, Xia Ruixi's face was red, and he couldn't wait to hide behind Ou Qingjin, and the princess congratulated before saying: "Mrs. said, please Si Shao and Si Shao's grandmother go directly to inquire about the tea." ”

Xia Ruixi entered the hall of the Ou family, and as soon as she saw the black head, countless pairs of eyes staring at her with interest, she was so frightened that her legs and feet were a little weak, and she didn't know where to put her hands and feet.

This family is too producing, a large hall is crowded, there is a white-bearded old man sitting in the middle, five white-bearded old men and five gray-haired women sitting on both sides, and then below, there are countless young and middle-aged men and women, young children and young girls, Xia Ruixi roughly estimated, there are about one hundred and ten people, the number will only go up, not down, although there are many people, there is no chaos at all, there is no noise, quiet, orderly, this is the style and rules of the family.

With so many people, how many times does he have to toast the tea? How could she remember so many people, no wonder she was going to get married, Mrs. Xia was even more nervous than her, cramming her, sensing Xia Ruixi's nervousness, Ou Qing said in a low voice: "Don't care about the others, just give the tea to the old people above, remember them, and the people in our room, and take your time with the rest." ”

With his encouragement, Xia Ruixi was not so panicked, the tea and tea trays had already been prepared, and she only needed to pay tribute one by one according to the instructions.

Xia Ruixi walked up to the white-bearded old man, knelt down, raised the tea tray above his head, and said respectfully, "Please grandpa use tea." ”

The white-bearded old man at the head of the seat let out a pleasant "um", took the teacup, took a symbolic sip, and casually put down a red envelope on the tea tray, "Get up, you are the Xia Er who was knocked out by Qing Jin with a snow ball?" Everyone chuckled when they heard this.

Isn't this knowingly asked? What is the old man going to do? Xia Ruixi pulled up a bright smile: "Yes, grandpa, it is the granddaughter-in-law." ”

The white-bearded old man turned his ears sideways, "Oh? Is it really you? Is it deflated now? The old man gave this kid twenty lashes and punished him for kneeling in the ancestral hall for three days, and he still hates me. ”

Xia Ruixi couldn't find anything to say, so he could only smile dryly, or Ou Qingjin said, "Grandpa, what did you say?" Where will your grandchildren hate you? ”

The white-bearded old man put a hand to his ear, "What? If you hadn't married Xia Er as your daughter-in-law, you would have hated me? ”

Everyone burst into laughter, Xia Ruixi and Ou Qingjin blushed together, probably thinking that Old Lady Ou was a little disrespectful to the old, Second Master Ou held back a face, and looked at Old Lady Ou with dissatisfaction, "Dad, you have bad ears, Qing Jin said that he will not hold a grudge against you no matter what." ”

Fu'er stepped forward, took the old lady's hand, and said angrily, "Grandpa, what kind of gift do you give to the fourth aunt?" ”

The old lady took her fat hand, made her sit on his lap, and whispered, "This is a secret, if you want to know, just ask your fourth aunt later." Fu'er turned her head to Xia Ruixi and smiled cutely, "Fourth aunt, I like you so much, I'll go and play with you later, okay?" That smile didn't contain any impurities, and the smiling Xia Ruixi almost forgot her rudeness yesterday.

Xia Ruixi looked at her and smiled, "Okay." ”

Fu'er looked at the red envelope in her tea tray: "Won't you open it and see what kind of greeting gift Grandpa gave you?" ”

Since people are picked up with red silk, they just don't want to show people, what's the matter with this child? I just want to know, and I can't make such a request in front of others, sure enough, it was born by the Bai family, and he is as fine as a little fox. Xia Ruixi smiled slightly and played Tai Chi with her: "No matter what grandpa gives, the fourth aunt will like it, if Fu'er wants to know, will you wait a while?" You see that so many elders are still waiting for the fourth aunt to serve tea, isn't it good to let them wait for a long time? ”

Xia Ruixi turned around and continued to serve tea, she toasted tea one by one according to the order of her seat, and everyone who ate tea had gifts in return, all of them were very polite, except for her dizziness, everything went smoothly.

Old lady Ou has five sons, Ou Qingjin is the second room, because of the large population, the old house is small and not enough to live, so in addition to the old lady and the second room of the house, the other four rooms have already moved out with another door, only on the New Year's Eve, when there is something, everyone will get together, one less person, there will be one less pair of critical eyes, one less mouth, which makes Xia Ruixi's pressure invisibly reduced a lot, she just needs to deal with her in-laws and the three sisters-in-law.
