Chapter 293: Enthusiasm and Indifference
Yu Zhicheng ran to the gate of the courtyard to greet him excitedly, and halfway through, the housekeeper had already welcomed Ling Qingyue and Chu Xiangling in.
Yu Zhicheng happily ran to Ling Qingyue, a little cramped and a little excited: "Ling, Ling Siqing, Mrs. Ling, are you two here?" ”
Ling Qingyue was stunned, when she came back in the past, her uncle was not so tight, he was all shouting "virtuous nephew, virtuous nephew", but this time he was called an official.
Ling Qingyue hurriedly bowed to the end and said, "Uncle is polite, if you are not in the court at this time, you should call me Qingyue." ”
Xiangling also hurriedly gave a standard bowing salute, and shouted respectfully: "Uncle, my nephew and daughter-in-law are so polite." ”
Yu Zhicheng hurriedly agreed: "What a good nephew and beautiful woman, hurry up and enter the house." ”
Yu Zhicheng humbly put the couple in the banquet living room.
Entering the banquet hall, a woman about sixty years old stood up busily, flatteringly wiped the seat of the top Taishi chair with her sleeve, and said with a smile on her face: "Lord Ling and Mrs. Ling have arrived, please ......take a seat."
This kind of picture was too strange, which made Xiangling sick to her stomach for a while, and couldn't help but look at Ling Yue'er, and found that Ling Yue just said indifferently: "Come, sit down!" ”
Xiangling's psychology suddenly gave rise to a strange thought, compared to the excessive "enthusiasm" of the mother and son of the family, she actually preferred Ling Yue'er's light-as-water reception method.
Ling Qingyue also said indifferently: "Auntie, aunt." ”
These aunts and nephews are indifferent from a mold.
Xiangling was polite, and said with a humble and arrogant attitude: "Niece and daughter-in-law Xiangling please my aunt and aunt!" ”
A standard bowing salute is too much and less is insufficient, and it is impossible to find a trace of fault at all.
Ling Yue'er was very surprised in her heart, in her impression, Chu Xiangling, who was still dressed in cotton clothes, with a casual bun and an arrogant attitude yesterday, was actually rich and noble when she visited her home today.
Especially in the face of the flattery of the clan, he actually responded calmly and did not flutter.
"You're your cousin?" A fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl standing behind Ling Yue'er looked at Xiangling and asked in surprise.
Xiangling responded with a smile: "You are Zhiqing, I heard Xianggong mention you, and when we met for the first time, I brought you a small gift." ”
Xiangling took out a sandalwood carved box from her arms and handed it to the girl.
The girl glanced down at Ling Yue, Ling Yue's face slowed down and said, "The elder can't give it away, what your cousin-in-law gave you, you can take it." ”
The girl ran to Xiangling diligently, and was just about to take it, when she heard Ling Yue behind her cough lightly, and she hurriedly bowed down meticulously, and said with a solemn face: "Thank you cousin for the gift." ”
After the ceremony, the girl took the box excitedly, and opened it, inside was a beautiful gold-inlaid jade step, luxurious and lively, the girl wore it both gracefully, but also did not look old.
Yu Zhiqing said excitedly: "It's so good-looking, I haven't seen this style in the capital." ”
Xiangling said with a smile: "This is what I asked the jewelry shop to create when I was in Lin'an County, and I designed the style myself, and my aunt has this one, but I am afraid that my aunt will not like it, and I am very worried in my heart." ”
Xiangling took out another jewelry box from her arms, this time, Yu Zhiqing took the box without waiting for Ling Yue'er to speak, and opened it to see that it was a jade bracelet inlaid with gold, with vine-like entwined branches and gold wires, wrapped in cold jade seeds, the style was simple, although it was gold-inlaid jade, it was not tacky at all.
The girl excitedly raised the jade bracelet to Ling Yue, and said with a smile: "Mother, it's so good-looking, it's very beautiful at first glance, and it's very valuable, Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Song will definitely not dare to laugh at you anymore when they see it......
"To the !!" Ling Yue'er's face was full of anger, and it seemed to be mixed with a hint of embarrassment.
Yu Zhiqing was a little anxious, and hurriedly ran to Ling Yue'er with the jade bracelet, and said in his mouth: "Mother, I'm not wrong, you dress decently, maybe the eldest brother's family affairs won't be so fetters." ”
"Zhiqing!!" Ling Yue'er scolded again, but there was a little helplessness in her tone.
Yu Zhiqing ran a little anxiously, his right foot tripped his left foot, the bracelet in his hand flew into the sky, and the whole person rushed forward, and his forehead was about to hit the handle of the Taishi chair, and he was about to see blood.
said that it was too late, Xiangling pounced forward, wrapped her arms around Shui Zhiqing's thin waist, and took a step back, and the two of them stood up straight together.
As for Ling Qingyue, a spinning top turned around and reached out to catch the jade bracelet that was thrown in the air.
Shui Zhiqing was frightened, and when he stabilized his mood, he looked at Xiangling with admiration: "I'm scared to death." Sister-in-law, thanks to you, my cousin mentioned in the letter that you can do martial arts, I thought he was bragging, but I didn't expect it to be true. ”
Xiangling withdrew her hand and said with a slight smile: "I'll have some fur, it's your brother Aiwu Jiwu, who brags, what else is he bragging?" ”
Shui Zhiqing said with a smile: "The five pages of letter paper are full of you, saying that you have a furrow in your chest and a pattern of saving the people from fire and water; said that you are ingenious and have the wisdom to turn danger into relief; Say you ......"
Xiangling's face turned red when she was praised, and she glanced at Ling Qingyue with disgust and said, "Can't you be reserved if you praise people?" How can it be so explicit. ”
Ling Qingyue smiled and said, "I know that my husband is boasting about my wife." ”
Xiangling squinted angrily, this sounds like she is thick-skinned......
As he was talking, he fell from Xiangling's body, looked down and saw that the knot on Xiangling's wrist was broken, and he picked it up and took a look, but fortunately, the bat-patterned green jade was not broken.
Rao is like this, Xiangling still has a distressed face.
Yu Zhiqing was a little puzzled, it was obviously an ordinary knot, not worth a few dollars, and her sister-in-law was extraordinarily generous, why would she feel distressed like this, she wouldn't be like her mother, she was generous on the surface, but she didn't have much money, right?
Xiangling saw that the knot could not be repaired, so she had to hand it to Ling Qingyue, pouting unhappily: "The knot is broken, you can weave another one for me." It's just that this time I said that I was not allowed to cut my hair secretly in the middle of the night, I cut it myself, you cut it like a dog, it's too ugly. ”
Ling Qingyue took the knot and said in a low voice, "Your birthday is also approaching." ”
Xiangling said in a low voice: "As long as you want to save trouble, can't you change the birthday gift?" I only know how to re-weave the knot, and I don't even bring chalcedony to change. ”
The husband and wife asked each other questions and answered each other in a whisper, so that everyone could guess the approximate.
It turned out that what fell to the ground was the chalcedony polished by Ling Qingyue for Xiangling, the knot braided by herself, and only the knot was changed every birthday, not the chalcedony.
Shui Zhiqing looked envious, but he didn't expect his cousin and sister-in-law to have such a good relationship.
Yu Shi looked at the good jewelry received by his daughter-in-law and granddaughter, and was so happy that the wrinkles on his face were piled up, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Ling is polite, she came to the door for the first time, and prepared gifts for everyone." ”
"Everyone" and "both" bite extra hard.
Obviously, I was looking forward to my gift, thinking that it was also a precious jewelry like Ling Yue and Zhiqing.
Xiangling reacted immediately, and beckoned to Qiao'er outside the door: "Qiao'er, take it in." ”
Lin Qiao'er immediately went to the car, brought in the gifts prepared by Ling Qingyue, put them on the table in turn, and said with a smile: "Xiangling has prepared gifts such as ginseng, tea, and cloth, please accept it with a smile." ”
Yu couldn't help frowning slightly, compared to these, she prefers genuine jewelry!!
