Mrs. Li looked around as if she was inadvertent, and made sure that this scene had been seen by many people, and hurriedly raised a very happy smile, "I know you can't wait to see your mother, let's go, let's go in." ”

Li felt powerless for a while, the last time he saw his mother being afraid of her husband, he thought they would restrain himself, but he didn't expect to reveal his greedy nature so soon.

Xie Tuan stretched out an arm half-wrapped around the Li family, leaning towards his side, and the shame in Li's heart subsided a little.

The two glanced at each other, and some of Li's nervousness disappeared.

Since it is the married daughter and son-in-law who come back to celebrate their birthday, it is natural to celebrate their birthday respectfully in front of everyone.

Li saw that at this time, it was already full of guests, and the whole family had already gathered together, staying around his parents, even if there was dissatisfaction in his heart, this was ten years of not seeing his relatives, and it was inevitable that he would touch the scene.

Xie Tuan took her hand and stepped forward to worship, "The son-in-law and his wife came to pay their respects, and Wang's mother is in good health and blessed with a long life." ”

"Get up quickly, you have a heart, sit down quickly, let me see. ”

The lord of Master Li's mansion naturally couldn't weep like a woman, and asked kindly, "What about Ling'er? Why didn't he come?"

Xie Tuan said, "Ling'er is busy, and now it is estimated that she is still in the Yamen, and she will come later." ”

"Alas, Ling'er is young and promising, and your mother and I are very pleased. ”

"It's just stained with ancestral shade, it's nothing. ”

Mrs. Li on the side saw that Xie Tuan didn't seem to say much, and said with a smile, "I saw that you brought a lot of things when you came, but can you give us a congratulatory gift?" ”

Li said, "It's not a precious thing, I just hope that my mother can use it." ”

Many of the people present wanted to find out the true relationship between the Li family and the Xie family, and some people coaxed, "I heard that Su Yue is rich in treasures, so let's see it." ”

Xie Tuan nodded lightly to the Li family, and the Li family had no choice but to let people carry him in.

These things should have been taken care of by the Li family, but Xie Tuan was afraid that she would be entangled, so he single-handedly procured them.

In a short time, a servant and maid loosened the things and brought in three large mahogany boxes.

The steward who came with him opened the first box, and under the light, the box emitted this glittering light, and there was a jade tree inside.

It is a real jade tree, the tree is nearly three feet high, the whole body is made of jasper, the carving is exquisite, the leaf veins are clearly visible, between the few tips, there are longevity peaches made of red gold, there are people who count them, it is the auspicious number of eight roses.

This gift is worth a lot of money at first glance, such a large piece of jade is rare, and it is even more rare to have this thought.

Everyone praised the tree and wanted to see what was left.

Li said, "This Yushu longevity peach hopes that my mother will live a long life." ”

Wang said, "You have a heart, this is too precious, it costs so much every time, don't do it again in the future." ”

This is true, although the Li family has not come back for ten years, every New Year's festival over the years, plus the birthday of his parents, he will order people to send gifts, and there is no shortage of expensive gifts.

But when it comes to hearing this, it means something else.

It's just that although this is precious, there are not a few hidden in the first-class family.

"Look at the rest of the box, and see what is intricate. ”

The rest of the box was opened, and it was neatly placed with brocade.

The people of the Li Mansion, who were originally happy, saw this, their faces were a little unbearable, Xie Tuan and the others made a move, naturally it was not an ordinary brocade, it must be good, but compared with the jade tree, it was overshadowed.

The people who were waiting to see the baby also choked, and no one thought that someone would serve hard dishes for the first time.

There are not many first-class families here, after all, the Xie family had a very unpleasant quarrel with the Li family back then, and now I don't know how, there is no need to pull down his face first to show goodwill with a Li family who is not very popular, most of them come to see if they are important people, only some ladies who have dealt with the Li Mansion have come to take care of things.

Someone in the crowd let out a "huh".

In an uncertain tone, he said, "This is not an ordinary brocade, it is the summer breeze and the winter warmth?"

Here are all nobles in Beijing, even if it is not the most expensive, it should be one of the most knowledgeable people in Da Chu, even if some treasures have not been seen, at least they have heard of it.

The best brocade Zhuangzi of the Five Kingdoms is in Qi country, and the best brocade in Qi country is in Zhiyu Village, and the most prestigious thing in Zhiyu Village is the Four Seasons Brocade.

Although the name is ordinary, but the brocade is not ordinary, the brocade is divided into four seasons, of which the spring is mainly embroidered, and the autumn is only embroidered with red maple, these two like people can't put it down, don't like people don't care, weird very.

And the summer breeze and winter warmth here, the embroidery pattern is changeable, the color is also varied, what is more praised is that the summer breeze is extremely light and thin, but it is not explicit, wear the clothes made of the summer breeze, the whole body is cold, like a breeze blowing on the face, extremely comfortable.

The winter is warm, that is, although it is only a thin brocade, it is impermeable, and the cloak made of it is comparable to a fox fur, with a variety of colors.

These two are the best fabrics.

The annual output is not much, half of it is for the royal family of Qi State, and half is sold to various countries, which cannot be bought by non-real magnates.

Many people here have not seen it, let alone walked through it.

Seeing Li's nod, everyone was sure that some ladies had already looked at those materials with envy, this was a treasure they had never seen before.

This whole big box, worth 10,000 taels, ordinary magnates can't buy it, and they don't even know where to buy it.

Li quietly waited for them to appreciate, sending such a valuable gift, the husband must have his intentions, most of these brocades are for the people of the Xie Mansion to wear, and the Xie Mansion even uses more precious materials than this, such as the new clothes on her body that the husband specially ordered someone to make, but it is not famous, only a few people know.

"Because it was for my mother, I chose some dark colors, and I thought that my mother might want to use them for the children, so I chose some bright colors, and under the box, I asked my mother not to dislike them. ”

Wang really wanted to touch those brocades now, and wanted people to make ready-to-wear clothes quickly, but he couldn't lose his dignity in public.

pretended to complain, "I said don't spend so much, but fortunately, you have thought it through, how much my old wife wears, and I will wear it for you young people in the future." ”

Everyone looked at the greedy eyes of the Li family, and said unhappily, what to pretend.

Wang deliberately talked to Li more often, just to give people time to envy him.

After Mrs. Li reminded the Wang family, the Wang family asked the people to put it away first, and there were two maidservants outside, each holding a one-foot square box.

"This is a gift from Ling'er to my grandmother, and he was busy today, so he asked us to bring it together. ”

Wang said, "This kid, he is not more precious than any gift. ”

The maidservant opened the box, and there were two boxes of pearls inside, which were nothing unusual, but there were no jewels in that house.

It's just that these pearls are round, each as big as a ripe lotus seed, so that the quality is on the shelves, and the two boxes of pearls of the same size are also rare treasures.

As a junior, Xie Ling is not easy to give away any shocking treasures, these pearls are treasures, and they will not be too much, which is very appropriate.

"Ling'er really has a heart, my wife and I are old, what kind of pearls do you give. ”

A daughter-in-law below said, "The old lady is not old, these pearls are very suitable." ”

Wang is happy today, and his mouth can't be closed.

As long as Li's father, Master Li, always feels that something is wrong, his daughter, he knows that it was so stiff back then, as soon as she came back, her family went to find trouble, did she really let go of the old things because she hadn't seen her mother's family for ten years?

But at this time, it is inappropriate to say this, so I have to endure it first, seeing that Xie Tuan has been doting on his daughter for several years, and has not been affected by other things, Master Li is still relieved.

In the midst of praise, someone said, "Or Mrs. Li gave birth to a good daughter, this time I received a gift that I haven't seen in half my life." ”

That person was from the opponent's house of the Li Mansion, but he was also a colleague of Master Li, so he made a post out of embarrassment, but he didn't expect to really come today, and he was so faceless.

Since Xie Ling has become more and more important, the old things of the year have been mentioned more and more frequently, and everyone knows how the Li family is a bloodsucker.

Now saying this kind of thing at this time is obviously to smash the field, implying that the Li Mansion is relying on the Xie family for help.

Wang's face changed on the spot, and Mrs. Li was just about to refute, but Master Li had already spoken, "The old man does have a good daughter, and even a good son-in-law, others can't envy it, Lao Zhao, if you envy my daughter and son-in-law, just say it, don't be sour here." ”

Xie Tuan and his wife were mentioned, but they fell on deaf ears.

At this time, another guest arrived, it was Miss Li Fu who came with Lin Zi.

"Lin Zi has seen the old lady and congratulated the old lady on her birthday. ”

Wang pretended to be generous and said, "Come and show your grandmother, she is really a good girl." ”

Lin Zi said, "Old lady Xie praised, my brother is still handling affairs in the yamen, and I ask the old lady not to be surprised." ”

"There, young people should concentrate on what they should do. ”

Seeing that everyone was looking at Lin Zi, Li was afraid that she would be bullied, so he called Lin Zi to stand next to him, indicating that Lin Zi and he were a family.

There was something wrong with the faces of some people in the Li Mansion.

People with good deeds asked, "I wonder what congratulatory gifts Miss Lin prepared today?"

The people of the Li Mansion thought that the Lin family was poor, and if they could give any decent gifts, they would make her ugly, and whoever asked her to seduce Xie Ling would have the Li family's wishful thinking to fail.

Hearing this, Qing Sakura dragged a wide and flat box.

Lin Zi said, "The Lin Mansion doesn't have anything to take, Lin Zi made a set of clothes for the old lady with her own hands, please don't dislike it." ”

Lin Zi, as Xie Ling's fiancée, will also call Mrs. Li a grandmother in the future and make a set of clothes for the old man, which shows that Lin Zi has regarded the old lady as her own.
