Chapter 74: The Gift

Mingzhu had a plan in her heart, so she couldn't sit still, and kept asking people to go to the front to ask if Fu Cong and Shen Ruilin were about to finish talking, whether they wanted to go back to the backyard to eat together, and so on.

Cui's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law saw it in their eyes, and they had their own thoughts. Shen Ruilin has lived in the Prime Minister's Mansion for more than five years, during which he is sensible and courteous, honest and likable, practical and diligent, and is a likable character, everyone likes him, but I don't see when Mingzhu has been so excited. The first two times Shen Ruilin came, once he brought her a beautiful pony, and once he brought her the chalcedony that is abundant in Jiguo, but she didn't see how happy she was, but this time she was so concerned.

A few daughters-in-law were not good at discussing the sister-in-law's mind in front of their mother-in-law, but they just tried their best to prepare the meal with a smile, but Cui's thought about it carefully. According to her, the Fu family is already extremely favored and wealthy, so why do you have to find a son-in-law in the prince? There are strict rules in the royal family, there are many interests involved, and there is no real candidate for Mingzhu. It's better to pick a down-to-earth and reliable one like Shen Ruilin, he can really love the pearl and protect the pearl, wouldn't it be better? What if my cousin is unhappy? My aunt and cousin-in-law are all affectionate, not to mention that Shen Ruilin is a stubborn and thoughtful person.

Thinking of this, Cui Shi beckoned to grandma Sun to come over: "You go to the front and tell Xiangye that the food is about to be cold, and you can't let the guests go hungry after eating." ”

Mingzhu saw that it was getting dark, and no one came back, so she was so anxious that she scratched her ears and cheeks, and she was relieved when she heard Cui's words. It is very rare to follow a few sisters-in-law to arrange dishes, tooth chopsticks, and arrange melon and fruit pastries.

After a while, Grandma Sun replied: "Come immediately." Before the words fell, there were already footsteps and the sound of the girl's mother-in-law outside, Mingzhu rushed forward to open the curtain with great interest, but was so frightened by the person who walked in that he stiffened his smile on his face.

Yuwen Chu walked in with a smile, didn't look at Mingzhu, but said to Cui Shi very kindly and politely: "This king had a very good conversation with Xiangye and General Xiao Shen, but he missed the meal, and it was rare for Xiangye to invite him kindly, so this king is not polite." caused trouble to Mrs., and I hope Mrs. will not dislike it. ”

"Where, His Royal Highness comes to the humble house, and it is a blessing that cannot be begged for, and it is too late for the old body to rejoice, where will it be disgusted? I only hope that Your Highness will not dislike coarse tea and light rice. Cui Shi got up to return the salute, but he didn't expect him to follow suddenly, so it was a little strange that Fu Cong, who was following closely, didn't make someone come to greet him in advance, so he was caught off guard.

Fu Cong glanced at her helplessly, saying that he didn't expect it either. He originally thought that Yu Wenchu would leave soon, but who would have thought that Yu Wenchu would be so eloquent, and he coaxed Shen Ruilin to talk about the border pass until now. Grandma Sun went to invite, he also wanted to take the opportunity to send off guests, who knew that Yu Wenchu would follow shamelessly?

People have already come, they can't be driven out, and because Yu Wenchu is a foreign guest, the ladies are not good at eating together, so they have to divide the family reunion banquet into two places, Fu Cong led several sons to accompany Yu Wenchu and Shen Ruilin to eat in the main hall, Cui's took his daughter-in-law, granddaughter and Mingzhu to eat inside, and the two places did not hear the voice, and they couldn't see each other.

Mingzhu was extremely depressed, not to mention her friendship with Shen Ruilin, she didn't even have a chance to speak, she couldn't see it! So she bit her chopsticks angrily, and really felt that Yu Wenchu was a disaster, but as long as he was there, everything would not go well for her. After thinking about it for a while, his anger subsided, and he became complacent again, Shen Ruilin always came to kowtow to her mother and ask for a homely talk, if it doesn't work this time, next time, he is not going to leave early tomorrow morning. Even tonight, she had a way to let him stay.

beckoned Su Lan to come over and ordered, "It's rare that everyone is so happy, you go and fetch my treasured snow wine and send it over." "Father and other elder brothers are not greedy for cups, only the third brother Fu Mingqing is a good wine, and he can drink himself, not to mention that on such an occasion, Shen Ruilin is a kind and patient character, as long as the third brother pulls him to drink, he will definitely go out to drink with the third brother, so he must be drunk.

Su Lan took the snow wine and sent it to him, and replied later: "Xiangye is very happy, let the masters drink a few more glasses." ”

Mingzhu asked with a smile: "Presumably the third master is very happy, right?" ”

Su Lan didn't know what she had in mind, so she replied truthfully: "The third master is indeed very happy, pulling General Xiao Shen to drink, and he thinks that the slave maid takes less wine." ”

Mingzhu smiled: "Then take another altar and send it over, so that he won't say I'm stingy." I sat with my chin propped up for a while, and when I saw Cui's chopsticks, I followed the chopsticks, and then said goodbye to several sisters-in-law and nieces, and went back to the room.

When I returned to the house, I was not busy sleeping, so I asked someone to bring the gift sent by Shen Ruilin and take a look, this time it was the same as the gift given in my previous life, it was still a few white fox skins with rich fur and smooth oil. Su Lan took a closer look at the light, and praised: "It's really a rare good fur, even a few slaves and maids grew up in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it is rare to see such a good fur, and it is enough to find one in a million." The girl has grown a lot taller this year, and the clothes she made last year are much shorter, and this is just enough to make a cloak for the girl, and she wants to use the red and gold cloud brocade to make face, which is the best for the girl. ”

Mingzhu also smiled. Shen Mingshan regarded himself as a loyal minister and a good general, and he was honest and honest in keeping his family, so the Shen family did not have much money. Shen Ruilin is also a down-to-earth character, and he can't do those things that deceive and deceive, so this fox skin must have been hunted by himself. Among the beasts, the fox is the most cunning, and the white fox is the most elf, and I don't know how much time and effort it took him to get these few furs...... When Mingzhu thought of this, she suddenly felt a little heavier.

When Shen Ruilin arrived in the capital, she had already married Yu Wenyou, this fox skin was sent by the family, and there was also a night pearl, which was said to be a wedding gift from Shen Ruilin. At that time, although she felt that it was rare, she didn't think about it elsewhere, but now that she thinks about it, Shen Ruilin is really interested in her. It's a brother and sister, but that's it.

Brother and sister...... Thinking of this, Mingzhu suddenly felt a little frightened, if Shen Ruilin just regarded himself as his own sister, purely just a brother and sister, then it would be a little difficult for him to marry him as he wished.

What should I do? Mingzhu scratched her ears, stood up very sadly and walked around the room a few times, Shen Ruilin is an old-fashioned character, probably not like her initiative. Think about it, if she went to discuss with him in private, "Let's be a family." "I'm sure I'll scold him first, and then scare him away. However, this person has an advantage, pity the weak and pity the poor, very chivalrous, maybe she can try another way.
