For a long time, no one spoke, and they all waited quietly for Yu to show off.

Liuli looked at Aunt Su with her afterglow. At this time, Aunt Su was still the same as before, calm and peaceful, as if everything in front of her had nothing to do with her. And her attention was on looking at Min Hua's embroidery, Yu suddenly handed over the teacup, she was not surprised, and caught it and put it on the table.

Such a harmonious and harmonious scene really doesn't seem to exist between wives and concubines.

Yu Shi took the silk and printed his lips, looked at the threshold, and raised his hand, the maid Su'e brought a plate, and there was a pair of silk gold inlaid jade bracelets on the red velvet cloth, Yu's chin pointed to the glass, and Su'e held the plate over. When he came to Liuli, he said, "This pair of bracelets is a gift from our lady to the girl, so the girl should accept it." ”

Liuli take a closer look, this bracelet is golden and shining, there is a plum blossom wrapped with gold wire on the top, the flower holder is jadeite, the stamen is ruby, and a few ruby with mung bean size are strung into a few unopened flower buds, the workmanship is extremely exquisite, and it is rare that in addition to the different directions of the petals, the two bracelets are exactly the same. Don't say that Liuli has never seen such a precious thing, so even the Nie family on the side exclaimed "ah" when he saw it.

Liuli couldn't tell what Yu meant, and he didn't move for a while.

"This pair of 'Eight Treasures Plum Blossom Bracelet' is the old lady's meeting gift to our eldest lady, the legend is that it is a thing in the palace, Mrs. takes such a precious treasure as a meeting gift, it is really painful to cut love, the ninth girl is not happy to thank you?"

Aunt Su stood up at this time and pointed to the bracelet and spoke.

Ruri glanced up at her, and saw that although she was smiling, her eyes were as cold as a deep well.

Liuli didn't say much, and bowed to the Yu family at the moment: "Liuli bows to thank Mrs. for her love." ”

Biyun smiled beside her: "Madame loves the girl so much, it is really a blessing for the girl." Nine girls will have to be more filial to their mothers in the future. ”

Liuli nodded: "This is natural." ”

Yu said: "I've met the fourth lady and the aunts." ”

Liuli saluted according to her words. Nie didn't expect that Yu Shi would be so generous as soon as he made a move, and he was a little uncomfortable, so the maid who was simply preparing to meet the gift didn't call in, pulled out a branch of Jin Huasheng from his head, and took off a jade bracelet from his hand: "The things you bring with you are naturally not as good as the eldest lady, and the nine girls are not suspicious." ”

Liuli looked at the head of the bracelet, clear and shiny, and it was also a lot of things, knowing that she had cut the flesh of her heart, and she was happy to make a big gift.

And then there's Aunt Sue. Aunt Su also prepared a pair of gold bills, and Nie's sour teased: "You will take advantage of it, and you will be a concubine for nothing, and it only cost two bills!" ”

Aunt Su had to call Lu Wei with a smile: "Go and pick a few pieces of satin that the old lady rewarded last month, and get two gold rings." ”

Nie said: "It's pretty much the same! ”

After this joke, the atmosphere seemed to be better. Nie suddenly turned sideways and pointed in the direction of the courtyard next door: "What about that one?" ”

In addition to Aunt Su in the big room, there was also Aunt Chen, the biological mother of the seventh girl Suhua, who was talking, and there was already a person outside the curtain: "Aunt Chen and the seventh girl are here." ”

Aunt Chen is in her thirties, fair-skinned, and has an excellent appearance, wearing a plain velvet embroidered top and ten flower skirts. I was leading Su Hua here, but when I entered the door, I let go of my hand, and hurried two steps to the front of the hall: "I'm late, I'm really sorry!" ”

Aunt Chen is the concubine of Yu Cheng Cheng himself, and she was originally waiting for Cheng Ming, but Yu was reluctant to marry her, so she gave her a room, and later became pregnant, so she became an aunt.

Liuli stepped forward and said, "Meet Aunt Chen." ”

Aunt Chen took the tea, took out a pair of gold bills and a pair of gold rings, and said with a smile: "I can't compare to Sister Su, don't blame the nine girls." "Except for a few pieces of satin, it is the same weight as Aunt Su.

Then it's time for the Equality Ceremony. Yu said: "The eldest young master and the third young master have official business, and the eldest grandmother is unwell today, so you don't need to see it, just talk about it." ”

Liuli met with the girls. Min Hua returned the gift meticulously, and Su Hua also called "sister" decently, but Yuhua was expressionless.

Liuli Zheng was strange and said that Yan Hua and the Nie family were here, why didn't Yan Hua show up? At this time, Yu got up and said, "I'll go and see the eldest grandmother." Biyun carried her to the front of the hall, and the two aunts of Nie and Su Chen also said, "Go and see the big grandma", got up together, and accompanied her to the big grandma's courtyard.

The girls lost the interest of staying, and made excuses to leave. Biyun sent Yu out of the hospital, and also came back to take Liuli away, calling someone to send her back to the small courtyard in the garden.

Cui Ying was standing under the porch and explaining something to the two thirteen or fourteen-year-old maids, and the daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law who were not on duty in the courtyard all surrounded them to inquire about the inside story of Liuli's transformation into a young lady, including Feng Chun'er.

Liuli didn't care, and went back to the house to put away all the items he got back, especially the pair of eight-treasure golden plum bracelets given by Yu. Liuli would rather she give nothing, or reward both of them casually. This thing is a big trouble, neither can it be exchanged for money, and there is no proper collection, plus there is no trustworthy person around to take care of the house, so many people look at her to get this treasure, guarantee that it will not take half a day, the whole house knows the "grace" of the eldest lady, this small courtyard is full of people, in case there is a mistake, this will not only be "disrespectful to the eldest lady", but also "disrespectful to the old lady", the consequences will be extremely serious.

Liuli thought of Yan Hua's disappearance, and couldn't help but keep an eye on it, and took advantage of no one to put things in a good place.

As soon as she straightened up, Cui Ying walked in: "Has the girl eaten it?" ”

Liuli was hungry, and then she remembered that she hadn't eaten a grain of rice since breakfast. So he said, "What is there to eat?" Cui Ying thought for a while and shook her head: "I thought that the girl would definitely come back after eating, and she let people leave." ”

Liuli touched her stomach and thought that there was a small kitchen in the courtyard, so she said, "It's okay to go over there and borrow a bowl of noodles from the kitchen." ”

Cui Ying said: "The kitchen door is locked, and the mother who took the key is not there. ”

The kitchen of the small cross-courtyard is never locked, because the time on duty in the morning and evening is different, and the large kitchen in the house is not locked, is it necessary to lock the small kitchen? Obviously, this sentence is a pretext.

Just thinking about it, Cui Ying said again: "It's better for the girl to rest for a while, and the slave maid will go to the big kitchen to see if there is anything to eat." ”

Liuli looked at her: "It's okay." ”

When she went out, Liuli got out of bed for a long time, walked to the door, looked in the direction of the kitchen, and saw a five or six-year-old boy picking dirt in the yard, so he beckoned: "You come here!" The little boy hesitated and didn't move, and Liuli took out a bamboo dragonfly from the drawer and turned it around, saying, "Do you want it?" ”

The boy couldn't help but come over. Liuli lifted the bamboo dragonfly high: "Who are you child?" How is it here? The boy looked at the toy in her hand, bit his finger and said, "My grandmother is a gardener." ”
