Rui Xue didn't feel sorry for the newly changed dress, and took a handkerchief to wipe her sister's face, "Of course it's true, Brother Yu was picked up by my sister on the road, and he was also embarrassed at the time, presumably it was really the family who suffered and fell out, and this time he might have gone home." On weekdays, the two of you are playing, and he is very accommodating to you, why did he leave because of this? ”

Niuniu nodded, choked up and said, "Big beauty... Actually, yes, I can't write, those boys laugh at me, he scares them with his fists, and as long as the snack box on my desk is empty, he changes the one in his room... Sister, the big beauty is gone, will she come back? ”

"Yes, he said in his letter that he will definitely come back."

"Then he can't even beat me, what if he gets caught by the bad guys?"

"No, Brother Yu'er is good at kung fu, and besides, there are people in his family who are good to him, and they will help him." Rui Xue was also blocked in her heart, but she still casually persuaded her sister with some excuses that she didn't believe.

The two sisters hugged each other like this, asking and answering one by one, and in the end they were silent, no matter how worried they were, there was no way, and no one could come back immediately, so it was better to live a good life and wait with peace of mind.

"Let's go, go to my sister's house, your brother-in-law brought you a gift from Tongcheng, let's go and have a look." Rui Xue briefly tidied up her dress for her sister and went back to the main room together.

Niuniu took the jade ring, she liked it very much, tied it on her left waist for a while, and moved it to the right for a while, which made Xiaocui and Caiyue stand aside and look full of envy.

Rui Xue fed the two children, and said with a smile, "Prepare two more dishes in the evening, set up a small table, and invite Yun's second aunt and daughter-in-law and sister-in-law Zhang, only our inner courtyard is lively and lively." Then tell Steward Zhang to go to buy clothes, cotton and other things tomorrow, and everyone in the family will change into a new set of clothes with the workshop, shop and inner yard, and send it down together with this month's salary. ”

It was rare for his wife to be in the mood to be lively, and there were new clothes to wear immediately, and the big and small maids were all very happy, and they all responded and ran out to get busy.

Rui Xue remembered that during the month of confinement, several of them, along with Aunt Yun, Sister-in-law Zhang and others, were tired, so she asked the old lady again, "Mama, are there still bits and pieces of jewelry, hairpins or bracelets in the warehouse?" ”

The old lady thought for a while and said, "I moved all the things in the courtyard where the young lady lived in the general's mansion this time, and the silk jewelry and small objects that were saved before have been registered, so I will bring them to the young lady to see." After she finished speaking, she called Xiao Cui'er to go back to the courtyard to get it, and held it to Ruixue with both hands.

Rui Xue leaned on the cushion and flipped through it at will, but she was so shocked that she secretly shouted that she had made a fortune, she thought that over the years, the Houfu industry was in the hands of the general's wife, and Chen Shuangyue, an orphan girl, must have nothing good in her hands, but she didn't expect that there were ten pages in the booklet, there were more than 100 horses of silk alone, and there were more than a dozen boxes of head jewelry and scattered ornaments, and there were more than a few small ornaments, small playthings, embroidery thread, rouge, pen and ink inkstones, books, and a lot, and it was worth at least a few thousand taels of silver in a general calculation. No wonder the old lady pulled six or seven carriages when she came.

The old lady looked at her own young lady, her mouth opened wider and wider, and she was funny and happy in her heart, "Miss, this is all given by the emperor during the New Year's Festival, and the filial piety of the shopkeepers of various shops, of course, there are also young generals who bought it, and the general's wife sometimes adds some to the young lady in order to get by on her face, and it is so much to put together, and the young lady is not a person who likes luxury, most of them are stored in the treasury and fall into ashes." ”

Rui Xue flipped through the pages, pointed to one of the pages and said, "Mama, find these two boxes of jewelry, and I'll take a look." ”

The old lady looked at the number in front of her, took the key to the warehouse, and went out with Xiao Cui'er, and soon they came back with two wooden boxes.

Ruixue opened it separately to see, one of the boxes contained eight silver hairpins, two hairpins with slender feet, hairpin heads are eight colors, the carving is very fine, polishing is good, the sunlight penetrates through the window lattice, shines on it, and dazzles people's eyes.

In the other box is eight golden hairpins, about six inches long, the hairpin tail is fine, the hairpin head is also eight colors, and the workmanship is higher than the silver hairpin.

Rui Xue pushed the silver hairpin box in front of Caiyue and said, "Each of the three of you will pick one, and then take it to the front yard for Sister-in-law Liu and them to pick, and send the rest back." ”

Caiyun Caiyue and Xiao Cui'er saw that the master was rewarding the jewelry, and their little faces were flushed with joy, and they wanted to excuse themselves, but they really liked it, so they were stunned for a while, and the sword dance pushed them and smiled, "Don't hurry up Mrs. Xie." ”

Only then did the three little girls react, and they stepped forward and saluted in unison, "Mrs. Xie is rewarded." ”

Rui Xue nodded, "I've worked hard for you this month, and I should get some small things, so go down and pick hairpins." ”

The three little girls hugged the box and went out with a smoke.

Rui Xue picked up a golden hairpin with a plum blossom head, put it on the old mother's head with her own hand, and said with a smile, "It is the most suitable for the mother to wear plum blossoms." ”

Where did the old lady think that she still had her own, and hurriedly waved her hand, "The old slave is so old, what kind of golden hairpin do you wear, Miss keep it for herself." As she spoke, she was about to reach out and pull it off, but was stopped by Ruixue, "People say that they are old and pretty, so Mama will wear it, and her face is much better." ”

"Really?" The old lady stretched out her hand to help the golden hairpin, and went to look in the mirror, which made everyone laugh.

Rui Xue drew another hibiscus Baihe and handed it to Jian Wu Qinxin, "This is yours, it's been hard these days." ”

Jian Wu and Qin Xin used to follow Miss Huajia, and they also had a lot of these jewelry, and they had seen a lot of good things, and the two golden hairpins that Rui Xue rewarded were really not very valuable, but the two of them still solemnly took it and saluted and thanked them, this is the master who saw their efforts in his eyes, how could he not be happy, and the two of them put their hands on their heads, with a smile on their faces.

At this time, Caiyun also came back with a silver hairpin box, Ruixue picked up two silver hairpins and four golden hairpins and wrapped them in a handkerchief, and let the old lady send the rest back to the warehouse.

But in an hour, a banquet was set up in the hall, six dishes and one soup exuded a pungent aroma, and Yun Er's aunt and daughter-in-law smiled as soon as they entered the door, "I always watch the men drink and eat banquets on weekdays, and today our women's army will be lively." ”

Rui Xue took Kexin, who was wearing a snow-white satin jacket, into her arms, checked it, and said with a smile, "Kexin is fat again, I'm afraid that the second aunt and osmanthus are not less tired, just eat more today and make up for it." ”

Osmanthus hugged the iron egg and saluted, the iron egg wore a big red jacket, with the heart of the general round and chubby, very cute, the two children usually get along very well, so they can get in, the little hand grabbed a place, and finally separated.

Before she could say a few words of gossip, Sister-in-law Zhang actually came in with Cui Niang, Rui Xue was surprised, and said, "Why did Sister-in-law Gao come back, but there is something wrong with the shops in the city?" ”

Cui Niang shook her head, "It's okay, business is good, I'm worried about you and the child, so I'll come back with the carriage to see." ”

Rui Xue smiled, "I thought that Sister-in-law Gao had a thousand miles of ears, and she knew that I was going to send a good object to everyone today, so I hurried back." ”

"Well, in that case, I'm just in time."

Everyone laughed, Caiyun came up with the handkerchief in both hands, Rui Xue took it, and gave it to Sister-in-law Zhang, Cui Niang and Aunt Yun, each of whom put a golden hairpin in front of them, and finally put a silver hairpin of hibiscus flowers in the osmanthus on the side.

Guihuaer didn't do a day's work in the workshop, nor did she come to serve the confinement child, she originally thought that she didn't have her own, but she didn't expect to get such a delicate silver hairpin, she felt a little frightened, and hurriedly pushed it back, and said, "Boss, I didn't help much, I can't ask for this silver hairpin." ”

Rui Xue resolutely pushed back and said with a smile, "It's good if you don't dislike the courtesy, you help me take care of Kexin, it's a great help." ”

Osmanthus looked at her mother-in-law, saw her nodding slightly, and thanked her, she didn't like it in her hand, she didn't envy that everyone was a golden hairpin, only she got a silver hairpin, but thanked Rui Xue for being careful.

After all, she is a daughter-in-law, even if she gets a golden hairpin, she has to give it to her mother-in-law, there is a difference between the young and the old, how can she wear a golden hairpin with her mother-in-law, but this silver hairpin style is beautiful, and it is much worse than her mother-in-law's golden hairpin.

Rui Xue wrapped the remaining golden hairpin and a silver hairpin and handed it to Sister-in-law Zhang, "This is Ruolan and Wang's sister-in-law, sister-in-law will find a time to give it to them." ”

Sister-in-law Zhang responded and said with a smile, "Working under the boss's wife, women are cheaper than men, and as soon as our hairpins are worn out, I'm afraid it will make them red-eyed again." ”

Everyone laughed more and more happily, Rui Xue beckoned them to eat vegetables and rice, and finally asked Caiyun to move a small jar of grape brew, except for her and Osmanthus to feed the child and couldn't drink, the rest of the people were very happy, and after a while, they blushed and talked more.

From the child-rearing experience to the gossip in the village, and the interesting stories in the city, the women almost lifted the roof of the house with laughter.

Niuniu took advantage of her sister's inattention, and secretly drank two bowls of grape wine, only to feel that the sweet and sour was very delicious, and when she was about to pour it again, she was dizzy, and she fell under the chair, Rui Xue was startled, and the old mother helped to help Niuniu take a look, and said with a smile, "Second Miss is drunk, the grapes can't be brewed, and it's okay to sleep." ”

Rui Xue was relieved at this time, and instructed Jian Wu to step forward and carry Niuniu back to the room, and then feed her a bowl of honey water to save her a headache when she woke up.

When Aunt Yun heard this, she sighed with emotion, "Niuniu, this girl, she really accumulated good fortune in her previous life, and when she arrived at the Zhao family in this life, the boss lady treated her no worse than her own sister." ”

Sister-in-law Zhang and Cui Niang both nodded, but Rui Xue remembered Brother Yu who came out of nowhere, and sighed, "I don't ask them how to treat me well, I just want to save some heart, the taste of worrying about my stomach every day is not comfortable." ”

Sister-in-law Zhang saw that her face was not good, so she hurriedly asked a few girls to withdraw from the banquet, change the tea, and then persuade, "Brother Yu is a boy, not as annoying as his daughter when she goes out, you can relax, wait for Mr. to come back in a few days, the child will slowly grow up, and there will be times when you are disgusted." ”
