The time was still a little early, the maid and the mother-in-law were fiddling with the tea four, carrying the ua grass, and remembering it in an orderly manner, and the two people who looked like stewards accompanied Mr. Bai to check there. Seeing Eleven Niang come in, the maid and mother-in-law were blessed one after another, and the white manager stepped forward to salute Eleven Niang, and the two stewards hurriedly bowed their heads and avoided outside the small hall.

"You've worked hard these two days!" Eleven Niang smiled and greeted Mr. Bai.

"It's my job.

Manager Bai smiled, saluted Brother Jin and Brother Xu, and said cordially, "The Sixth Young Master and the Seventh Young Master got up so early!" ”

Brother Jin obediently snuggled up to Eleven Niang's side: "My mother said that the second sister-in-law is going to give tea to the elders today, so she should get up early." ”

Brother Xu'er said: "Sixth brother said, we have to come early, and we can get a few more red envelopes when the time comes!" ”

Manager Bai was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "What the sixth young master said makes sense. Eleven Niang didn't make a sound, and her smile was slight.

The older Brother Jin'er is, the more crooked reasoning there is. But everyone thinks that this is a child's fairy tales, or they think it is funny and laugh it off, or they don't think it follows his meaning. But I don't know that everything starts from the subtleties. With so many people in the family, she is spoiled from top to bottom, she can't communicate and persuade one by one, so that others can accept her point of view, she is exhausted, and others may think she is making a big fuss.

It's better for her to take Brother Jin with her. If there is anything wrong and opinions, it can also be corrected in time, and the accumulation of steps is not too outrageous.

Thinking about it, I saw my son glaring at Brother Xu'er.

Brother Xu'er immediately covered his mouth, and couldn't help but argue loudly to the chief manager: "We are not for the silver, we are here to ask for peace for the aunts and aunts!" ”

There is quite a taste of three hundred taels of silver here.

Manager Bai endured it, but he still laughed out loud, but saw that there was only a faint smile on Shi Niang's face, so he hurriedly smiled and said, "What the Seventh Young Master said", and then asked Shi Niang respectfully: "Madam, do you see that there are any additions or subtractions to the furnishings in this house?" I'll let the stewards set it up. ”

The layout of the Xitang is exquisite, let alone Eleven Niang, even Mr. Bai may not dare to say that he understands. These matters are the responsibility of the ancestral hall steward, who is familiar with the etiquette.

Eleven Niang knew that he was changing the topic, and she didn't want to say this, so she looked at the small hall with a smile, and said something about the scene with Manager Bai, and Mother Song came over and said, "The fifth lady accompanied the three grandmothers from Nanjing to this side. ”

She greeted her out, and as soon as she said a few words, the third lady came with her son and daughter-in-law.

Everyone greeted the salute, talked and laughed and entered the small hall.

Mrs. Huang, Wu Niang, Qi Niang and others 66 continued to arrive.

Everyone greeted Shi Niang, greeted each other and talked about the old, and teased the children.

The small hall was lively and full of laughter.

The Xu brothers accompanied Zhou Shizheng, Yongchang Hou Shizi Huang Ziqi, Luo Zhenxing, Yu Yiqing, Zhu Anping, Shao Zhongran and others to come in, the female dependents took the children to avoid the west, the concierge came in and asked everyone to sit down according to the elder and youngest, and Xu Siyu came in with the bride to give everyone tea and kowtow.

Grandma Huang San, who served as the Quanfu person, led Xu Siyu and Xiang to Xu Lingyi and his wife.

When worshipping heaven and earth, méng hijab, entering the new house, the eleventh mother is mother-in-law is inconvenient to watch the ceremony, at this time I couldn't help but look at Xiang carefully.

She has grown into a big girl, tall and tall, wearing a big red silk gown of a hundred birds and a phoenix, thin but curvy. A fair-skinned round face, with a shyness that can't be concealed at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.

Eleven Niang took her tea with a smile, gave her a meeting gift of ninety-nine taels of red gold, and then gave a red envelope of nine hundred and ninety-nine taels of silver tickets.

Xiang blushed and kowtowed.

Mrs. Zhou "fluttered" on the side, covered her mouth and smiled.

Everyone's eyes fell on her.

She hurriedly said, "It's okay, it's okay." He added, "I'm thinking that the four ladies are all married to their daughters-in-law, and our daughter-in-law doesn't know where it is!" It's okay if she doesn't say it" As soon as she said this, everyone couldn't help but look at Eleven Niang carefully.

Maybe it's because she wants to be a mother-in-law, and she is always dressed in a bit of a unique way in her grace and luxury, she is wearing a red engraved silk double happiness gown today, combing her round bun, and wearing red gold ornaments, which looks like she is following the rules and tending to be a ruler. But a pair of eyes are dazzling, like a picture, making her whole person bright, "revealing a bit of ethereal beauty." She looked two or three years younger than Xiang, who was standing respectfully in front of her. It immediately made people laugh.

But on this occasion, who is embarrassed to tease the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, although they can barely hold back their laughter, there are a few weird expressions on their faces.

Eleven Niang secretly wondered in her heart, she didn't know what was going on.

Xiang was beating a drum in his heart, recalling his every move from entering the door to the present, and he couldn't think of any rude behavior he had.

The two of them thought about it separately, but the etiquette that should be completed was still done meticulously.

Grandma Huang San took the two newcomers to the east side of the male guest to recognize relatives and then went to the west.

Marriage is the first seat of the uncle and uncle. When recognizing relatives, it also started with aunts and aunts.

Because Grandma Luo and Grandma Luo Si were not in Yanjing, the newcomer went to kowtow to Grandma Luo San first, and because the daughter of the Xu family's generation was the queen, not an ordinary aunt and grandmother, someone was sent before the reward, and the newcomer kowtowed three times to the east, and the pair of jasper given by the queen was given by the eleventh mother to the newcomer.

The house was lively.

Grandma Hongda took the hands of the three people and said that she wanted to see the third lady, and the third lady squeezed the grandma and said that it was a guest from afar, and the guest was invited first. Grandma Hongda took Xiang's hand and quipped: "You can see clearly, this one who does not suffer at all is your third aunt." Then he took out a pair of twisted red gold bracelets, and a tourmaline stone red gold sideburns to Xiang Shi as a greeting gift, and said to the third lady with a smile, "We will look at you!" ”

As a distant relative, this gift is a bit precious.

Not to mention the Xiang family, who just entered the door and couldn't figure out the situation, even the eleventh lady who knew that the fifth lady was going to knock the third lady was a little surprised, not to mention the third lady, her smile immediately became a little stiff.

Xiang secretly looked at Eleven Niang's god, and saw Eleven Niang sitting there with a smile, so he stepped forward to take the meeting gift and handed it to the maid beside him, and stepped forward to kowtow to Grandma Hong.

Fang Shi on the side looked at it and sighed secretly in his heart.

She reminded her husband early in the morning and asked her husband to tell her mother-in-law as well. Although Xu Siyu is a concubine, he is the eldest son" is Xu Lingyi's first time marrying a daughter-in-law, and Xu Lingyi's xìng son who has been blessed by him in the past will take this opportunity to return the gift, and the scene will not be bigger than Xu Siyu, who will be the son of the world in the future, but it will not be too shabby. Let the mother-in-law prepare more greeting gifts, so as not to make the concubines coax, and when the time comes, the preparation will be insufficient and make people laugh.

But looking at it like this, my mother-in-law was afraid that she didn't take it to heart at all.

She quietly recruited Jin, whispered her worries, and asked Jin to take off a pair of UA hairpins inlaid with southern pearls on her head: "Only quietly hand this to her mother-in-law, and deal with it for the time being." ”

Jin looked at the Nanzhu the size of a fingernail and the brilliance, and couldn't help but feel heartache for Fang's heartache: "Sister-in-law, how much silver do you have in this pearl?" Or one and a half of us. ”

"No need!" The mother-in-law fought with her twice in three days, and the Fang family only hoped that the Jin family could stand by and watch, and joked with a smile, "If you encounter this situation again next time, you will be plucked!" Kim laughed.

I can't help but think that if this situation really happens again, I will definitely not be able to let the Fang family fill the hole for my mother-in-law again. But her mother's decorations were all made by her mother, who was afraid that she would marry less, and would be looked down upon when she married, so she specially invited someone to create it. Giving it away like this, how can she be willing to give it away in her heart!

Thinking about it, I complained a little about my mother-in-law.

Every time they are stingy, in the end, it is not them who are daughters-in-law who help the round. When I looked back, I didn't see my mother-in-law supplying them with things. Speaking of which, "What is the difference between this and using a dowry from a daughter-in-law!"

When she saw that her mother-in-law really responded to the scene with Fang's hairpin, she felt even more depressed.

When I went back to my parents' house to give New Year's gifts, I couldn't help but complain to my mother.

Mrs. Jin is also a girl from the Xingwu family, "When she was young, she grew up in Weichang, and since she was a child, she followed her brothers to ride horses and shoot arrows, like a man's xìngzi, and later her husband was in charge of the affairs of the market. Hearing what his daughter said, her eyebrows immediately rose: "You cover your things, your sister-in-law wants to be a virtuous person, let her do it." If your mother-in-law dares to attack your idea, don't conflict with your mother-in-law head-on, and tell Mrs. Tai immediately. Don't forget, your marriage is the mastery of Mrs. Tai. ”

Jin hesitated: "My sister-in-law has always treated me well. A few days ago, my mother-in-law asked me why I hadn't given up yet, and my sister-in-law helped me talk. I turned my face like this and didn't recognize people......"

When Mrs. Kim heard this, she immediately evoked melancholy: "Why aren't you pregnant yet?" Is your uncle treating you well? ”

"Good!" Jin blushed, "My mother-in-law wanted to put a maid next to me in my house, but my husband didn't ask for it, and I was beaten several times by my mother-in-law!" As he spoke, he made a heartache expression.

When Mrs. Jin heard this, she was angry: "What kind of mother-in-law is she, she actually takes care of the affairs in her daughter-in-law's room." "Scolding and scolding" is still a little weak-hearted, thought about it, held the face of the youngest daughter, and said: "You are still smart and know how to twist into a rope with your sister-in-law." I think, that's it, if there is anything in the future, you will listen to your sister-in-law. As for the hairpin, you folded the silver to your sister-in-law. Then he carefully asked about the appearance of Fang's bead hairpin.

Kim had the support of his mother, and there was no doubt that he "told his mother how good the hairpin was." After playing at home for a long time, Huanhuan returned to Mitsui Hutong, weighed the silver and went to Fang's house without mentioning it.

Mrs. Jin sent her daughter away, changed her clothes and left a message for the major silver buildings in Yanjing, and asked the shopkeeper to help her make a pair of identical hairpins. That is, when the New Year is over, it is not the season for new pearls to go on the market, and Mrs. Jin exaggerates the quality of the pearl hairpins by a few points. Inevitably, Mrs. Jin told the third lady how to add fuel and vinegar to it: "In the beginning of spring, the wives of some officials in Yanjing have heard about it. The third lady thought of how to withhold the dowry of her daughter-in-law, and the news gradually spread. When the third lady knew from the mouth of her mother-in-law, she was so angry that she gritted her teeth, feeling that the Fang family was fake, and she gave the hairpin to herself that day just to frame herself, and put this account on Fang's head, looking at Fang's husband's three points of idleness, but Fang's rules and steps, no matter how she provoked, it would not make a mistake. She even felt that Fang's face was like a bodhisattva, and her heart was like a snake and scorpion, and she was so angry that she was sick in a few days; That's all for later.

Xu Siyu and his wife went to the temple early the next morning, ate the yuan meal sent by Xiang Yijia, and went to Xiang's house.

Eleven Niang has time to sort out these things.
