The third lady saw that her face lit up, and she couldn't help but think about it.

Now that it's taken out, can't it be taken back on such an occasion?

As long as you find a way to drag it over, this thing will be your own.

Thinking of this, she rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Why are the fifth brothers and sisters still childish!" Aren't you embarrassing your relatives? As he spoke, he glanced at the ladies in the room with a smile.

Mrs. Gan sat aside and drank tea.

Her meeting gift today is a bracelet of tourmaline, although there are impurities, but carved into a lotus huā style, it is not very obvious, and the particles are large, which is not rude.

The third lady's sister-in-law frowned secretly.

It's not that she can't take out the things, it's just that when her son got married, the third lady only gave a set of more than 20 taels of silver noodles, and the gifts are still exchanged, she can't pay it back twice, right? Even if she pays it back twice, the meeting gift is not on the gift list, if she has any happy events, the third lady still doesn't return her favor!

The thought flashed, she stepped forward, and was about to help the third lady say a few words, but someone had already rushed ahead of her.

"This wine is for a celebration. It's rare that our five siblings have such an interest, so I'll have a fun time too! ”

The eyes of the people in the room fell on the speaker.

The sister-in-law of the third lady saw that it was a grand grandmother from Nanjing.

I saw Grandma Hongda take out a big red background embroidered double happiness pattern Hangzhou satin purse, poured out a pair of beads, and then faded a green jade bracelet on her hand and added it to a piece: "This is what I added." As he spoke, he handed it over to the Fang clan.

The Fang clan had already seen the third lady's embarrassment. Take it, I'm afraid that my mother-in-law will think that she is not sensible: don't take it, whether it is the fifth lady or the grand grandmother, she is promoting herself and ruining the interest of the two elders. She's really in a dilemma. couldn't help but look at Xu Siqin.

Xu Siqin didn't know what to do.

He helped his mother "spoil the atmosphere; I don't help my mother, and I'm afraid that my mother will be displeased.

Eleven Niang saw it in her eyes and smiled and came forward to relieve them. smiled and said to the grand nurse: "Sister-in-law, slow down, let our Danyang County Lord show off first." It was not easy for her to find such an opportunity. Don't steal the limelight from her and make her jealous of you......"

Grandma Hong laughed when she heard this: "It's all mine, it's not ......" It's all mine, and she put her things back, "Then I'll wait here." ”

Mrs. Gan, who was sitting leisurely and drinking tea, listened to an almost inaudible "pout", and then sat up straight, staring at Eleven Niang with a pair of shrewd eyes.

I saw Eleven Niang and Fifth Lady exchanging glances.

She was like a mirror in her heart.

Presumably, the two concubines of the Xu family are dissatisfied with the third lady, and take this opportunity to make the third lady make a fool of themselves. I thought of Zhong Qinbo complaining in her ear a few days ago: "We are all staring at Fujian, but Xu Lingyi quietly made a lot of money raising horses in Baoding." Speaking of which, the step-family of the Marquis of Yongping often comes to see Mrs. Qiu, so you can't find a way to get closer to her. Mrs. Gan put down the teacup in her hand, straightened her sideburns, and shouted "Danyang" in a rich and intimate tone.

Everyone looked at Mrs. Gan again

Mrs. Gan said unhurriedly: "Don't bully us, there is no one in the Zhongqin family!" As he spoke, he motioned to the mother-in-law who followed behind him to take out his meeting gift, and then pulled out a hairpin with red gold inlaid with mutton fat jade and peach on his head and put it on the bracelet of tourmaline jade, and said proudly: "This is for my nephew and daughter-in-law...... and then looked at Eleven Niang with a smile, "Fourth lady, what do you add?"

There was a bit of tension in the air in the West Hall.

Several relatives of the Gan family had retreated lightly to the huā in the corner.

Eleven Niang thought about it, took off the hairpin on her head with red gold dots and emerald inlaid with ruby pomegranate huā and said with a smile: "It just happens to be a pair with the temples of the fifth brother and sister!" ”

The cui is a very precious craft, and the ruby is also the size of a fingernail, and the temples of the five ladies are put together, complementing each other, gorgeous and dazzling, gorgeous and abnormal.

Someone couldn't help but let out a sigh of envy.

Fang's family was very uneasy, and hurriedly said: "Fourth aunt, I really don't dare to be a ......"

It's just that her voice was too thin, and she was suppressed by Mrs. Gan's voice: "Grandma, just add a few things, in the end, these things are not for others!" As he spoke, his eyes slipped around the body of the three concubines of the Xu family who came from Nanjing, and said, "What's more, there are still people lining up behind!" Then he steadily picked up the teacup and took a sip, revealing the appearance of fighting in the ring with the Xu family.

Dingsan's grandmother looked at the corners of her mouth slightly.

Although their family is a side branch, they can open six pawnshops, fourteen rice shops, and three crude medicine shops in Nanjing. They came from afar, "don't say that these things are just some gold and silver ornaments, and they can't take them out, but they can't take them out" and they have to tiptoe back to be the eldest son at this moment. Is it possible to lose face and lose face to Yanjing?

Thinking of this, she immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, aunts and uncles of the Gan family, none of us who are aunts and aunts will crook our shoulders." As he spoke, he turned his gaze, pulled the sleeve of Mrs. Gan's sister-in-law who was standing on the periphery, and smiled at the relatives of the Gan family who were standing next to Huā, "Don't stand outside the aunt and aunt of the Gan family!" Hurry, after the meeting gift, the newlyweds still have to go to the Mrs. Tai, let's go to the huā hall early to eat! Some avoided Dingsan's grandmother's gaze and pretended not to hear, some giggled and kept silent, and some said loudly: "Aren't we waiting here?" ”

Dingsan's grandmother laughed for a while, and urged the third lady: "Third sister-in-law, we are all looking at you!" ”

The third lady looked at the boxes of Eleven Niang and the fifth lady, the boxes of Mrs. Gan and others, and then looked at her own box. Even she herself was a little unbearable. But if she wanted to add a little, she was not prepared at all. Don't add ......, looking at the hairpin and the green of Eleven Niang, this is the first time Eleven Niang has worn it, it must have been taken out in order to show off at Brother Qin'er's wedding, and I missed this opportunity, I'm afraid it won't be there.

She thought about it again and again, reluctantly plucked the red gold gourd hairpin on her head and put it next to Man Chijiao's distraction, and said with a smile: "You aunts and aunts are so generous. What is there to be reluctant for me as a mother-in-law! ”

Two pieces of jewelry less than ten taels of gold, under the pride of the jewels in the hands of the fifth lady and the eleventh mother, are shabby.

Some people don't dare to talk about it, for fear that they will be swept in and lose their money in vain while standing on the cusp, and some people think that the third lady is too stingy and doesn't know what to say.

There was a sudden silence in the room.

The male guest who was talking in a low voice in the east hall noticed the strangeness here and craned his neck to look over.

The fifth lady smiled: "I originally wanted to fight for my nephew and daughter-in-law, but since the third sister-in-law thinks we are troublesome," I don't hate it. After speaking, she looked at Eleven Niang and sighed, "The fourth sister-in-law also put away the hairpin, you are reluctant to wear it on weekdays, who knows if someone still looks down on it!" "I looked interested.

Mrs. Gan frowned and glanced at the third lady: "Aunt and grandmother are really." Your own daughter-in-law, if there is anything to worry about, we will all follow suit, and you will tear down the platform. "I was very dissatisfied.

The atmosphere was a little stiff.

Fang couldn't help but be at a loss.

Eleven Niang hurriedly smiled: "I finally look forward to Brother Qin's marriage to his daughter-in-law, since I have sent it out" I will not take it back. Third sister-in-law", she looked at the third lady, her expression was very sincere, "You can add another one!" It's just a jackpot! ”

The third lady also didn't want her son's marriage to break up unhappily like this, and she didn't want to lose face in front of her daughter-in-law. Hearing this, he faded the gold ring on his hand and put it in the box.

The fifth lady laughed "fluttering".

The irony is strong.

The third lady's face couldn't help but be red and purple for a while.

The rich second grandmother, who had always been good friends with the third lady, couldn't stand it anymore, so she helped the third lady out of the siege, and said with a smile: "Good things come in pairs!" Third sister-in-law, I think, "You will reward your nephew and daughter-in-law with the phoenix hairpin on your head!" The fifth lady also added a piece of gold ornaments, which was auspicious. What do you think? ”

The fifth lady waited for someone to answer, and immediately took off the bracelet of the red gold camellia huā she was wearing on her hand and put it next to the jewel sideburns, "Second cousin-in-law, you can still hold this one!" ”

The bracelet looked like it was three or four doubles.

Someone laughed and said, "Our bride will make a fortune!" ”

The third lady looked at the rich second grandmother with a somewhat complicated expression.

The rich second grandmother nodded at her, with an anxious look in her eyes, signaling her not to hesitate any longer.

The third lady looked at the ladies who were looking at her all over the room, and then looked at Fang Shi, who was blushing and lowering her head, "gritted her teeth, and put the phoenix hairpin with red gold inlaid with grandmother's nose, ruby, opal, lotus seed, rice-sized pearls, and put it in the box."

The rich second grandmother hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, my mother-in-law's meeting gift has been given, and now it's your turn to be aunts and aunts!" ”

Shi Niang smiled and handed the box to Fang's family, and said with a smile, "I wish you a good hundred years and an early birth to a noble son."

Fang Shi took it shyly.

The fifth lady also smiled and handed over the meeting gift: "Quick" Give me a cup of tea, I can shout for you for a long time, not only ask for your fourth aunt's good things, "I also put my own things in, but also ask for your aunt, aunt, and aunt's things from Nanjing." With that, he giggled, and the room was filled with a little joy.

Hearing this, Fang Shi hurriedly knelt down and gave the fifth lady a cup of tea.

The fifth lady accepted it generously, and led the Fang family to the rich grandmother: "This is Nanjing's grandmother!" ”

Fang Shi hurriedly toasted tea.

The fifth lady did the introduction, knocked this and that, and those who did not forgive, some hid, some begged for mercy, everyone laughed, and the scene was very lively.

The rich second grandmother took the opportunity to persuade the third lady: "How can you be confused at this time?" You know, your daughter-in-law brought 20,000 taels of silver to marry. She won't eat you, she won't drink you. At this time, I looked down on her, how will you be a mother-in-law in the future? Don't you forget, your frugal brother hasn't married a daughter-in-law yet? If Brother Frugal's daughter-in-law enters the door, she will follow the same example. How will you live in the future! ”

The third lady was startled and shook the hand of the rich second grandmother: "It's good that you reminded me." Otherwise, it will really make the daughter-in-law who just entered the door look down on her! ”
