Mrs. County's eyes were staring at her, and she wanted to take the pearl for herself, and when the banquet was over, she said to her mother.

Presumably, her mother will be willing to give her pearls for the sake of the Qiu family.

Thinking of this, she glanced at Tao Xi proudly and said mockingly: "Xiucai lady should have never seen pearls, right?" ”

Calling the Xiucai lady is her to give Tao Xi face, but it is not yet known whether Jian Shiming will be moved, because she did not take Tao Xi in her eyes.

After all, there are not many talents who fail to make the selection every year.

Liu Wu couldn't see anyone talking about Tao Xi like this, and was just about to help speak, but Tao Xi opened his mouth first:

"I've seen it."

"Poofha......"

Mrs. Xiancheng couldn't help laughing, she looked at several ladies, "The lady of Xiucai actually said that she had seen pearls?" ”

She seemed to hear a joke, thinking that she was born as a merchant and had been married to the county lord for many years, and she rarely saw pearls.

Taoxi, a talented lady, dares to boast of this kind of Haikou?

Although the accompanying ladies were hindered by the presence of catkins, they couldn't help but mutter.

"She was just born as a commoner, does she really think that she is a golden branch and jade leaf like Miss Liu?"

"I don't know anything about myself, I'm just Miss Liu's little follower."

"Miss Liu is afraid that it is also for the sake of Xiucai's face, otherwise she will not be too lazy to take care of her."

“……”

The voices of several people were not loud, and the catkins were not good at holding on all the time, but Tao Xi was not angry, but just stood there with a smile.

is even in the mood to appease the catkins, "Su'er, believe it or not, I won't lose a piece of meat." ”

Her indifferent appearance made Mrs. Qiu not achieve the effect of hitting her, since she learned that it was this woman who made her grandson suffer one after another, Mrs. Qiu had the idea of giving Tao Xi a dismount.

However, she felt that she might have thought wrong, and that this woman now had a backer.

But after Mrs. Qiu has lived for so many years, she still suppressed the anger in her heart, and saw her open the delicate small box.

Inside, a pearl set in the ring is revealed.

She actually set the pearl in the ring, and it was a very old-fashioned gold ring!

Blind for so much silver.

The corners of Tao Xi's mouth twitched, but Mrs. Jiang had already covered her lips exaggeratedly, "Oh my God, it's so beautiful."

"It's the most beautiful pearl I've ever seen, it's so beautiful."

"Yes, it's so beautiful, Mrs. Qiu is really blessed."

“……”

"Mother, this pearl is so beautiful."

Mrs. County Cheng took Mrs. Qiu's arm and tried to make Mrs. Qiu understand what she meant.

Old Madam Qiu pretended not to understand, but instead picked up the ring in her hand and slowly put it on her finger.

"It's the most beautiful pearl I've ever seen in my life."

She raised her hand with a soft sigh, her eyes were full of satisfaction, even if her grandson said that the shopkeeper had bought another pearl?

After all, this one felt everyone's envy and admiration, and Mrs. Qiu's vanity burst out.

Madame Jiang couldn't help but look at Liu Fu flatteringly, "Miss Liu, what do you think of this pearl?" ”

"I've seen bigger pearls than this."

Liu Wu spoke, of course, although the pearl was bigger than this one, it was not as good as this one, but she would not say such a shameful thing.

Mrs. Jiang couldn't help but ask Tao Xi, who was standing next to the catkins, "What about Mrs. Jane?"

Didn't you say you'd ever seen pearls? How does that compare to this one? ”

Old Madam Qiu subconsciously cocked her fingertips, so that everyone could see the pearl ring on her fingertips more clearly.

It is clear that it means to show off, Tao Xi's eyes hurt when he saw it, and he would not sell it to her if he knew it, this smile is really dazzling.

But the next second, Tao Xi suddenly smiled, and she said: "Yes, it's better than this one, na, you can also see it." ”

She smiled in a certain direction, and everyone subconsciously raised their eyes to look over, and saw a familiar figure slowly walking over.

This person is the wife of the county magistrate of Yunxian County, and at this moment she is dressed gently and dignified, and she walks over step by step.

Mrs. Qiu was so frightened that her hands trembled, and giving a post to Mrs. County Commander was just a symbolic courtesy.

But they all know that because Mrs. Qiu's granddaughter has become the concubine of the county order, Mrs. the county order has a lot of complaints about them.

They all thought that Mrs. Prefectural would not come, but she not only came, but also slapped her in the face by the way.

That's right, because Hu Xianling's wife wore a necklace around her neck, and there was a pearl on that necklace that was bigger than Old Madam Qiu.

In the sun, the pearl shines in a different way.

"I've seen Mrs. Hu."

"Mrs. Hu is fine."

“……”

Everyone saluted, and so did Tao Xi, at this time, Liu Wu suddenly looked at the woman with a smile.

"Cousin, why are you here too?"

Mrs. Hu is actually Miss Liu's cousin?

Everyone was stunned, their faces were full of shock, they had never heard of the prefectural lady having a powerful family relationship in Kyoto before.

Mrs. Hu smiled gently: "Miss Su'er is here, of course I want to come." ”

Mrs. Hu's mother and Liu Wu's grandmother are sisters, and the two are indeed related.

It's just that Mrs. Hu's maiden family has declined.

Seeing her appear, Mrs. Qiu subconsciously hid her hand behind her, but Mrs. Hu said curiously:

"What are you talking about so happily?"

Mrs. Qian, who had never had a sense of existence, suddenly answered Mrs. County's question.

"Old Madam Qiu has a rare pearl, and everyone is observing it at this time."

This sentence made Mrs. Qiu's face particularly ugly, but Mrs. Hu was not very good with the Qiu family, and followed Mrs. Qian's words:

"Really? Can I take a look? ”

She raised her eyebrows, as if she had completely forgotten that she still had a pearl hanging around her neck, which was bigger and rounder than Old Madam Qiu's.

Poof......

Tao Xi couldn't help snickering in his heart, he was very glad that he had sold two pearls at the beginning.

At this time, she suppressed Old Madam Qiu with another pearl, and she was very happy in her heart.

Old Madam Qiu smiled awkwardly and showed her fingers, "I also get this pearl occasionally."

Naturally, it is not as good as Mrs. Prefectural Order, so don't pollute Mrs. Prefectural Order's eyes. ”

"No, it won't."

Mrs. Hu smiled with her eyebrows, "Although your pearl is not as good as mine, it is not bad." ”

Mrs. Qiu: ......

In front of so many people, she felt that Mrs. Hu was deliberately mocking her, and her face was hot and painful.

Mrs. Wang was in a hurry, and hurriedly flattered: "Madame's skin is really good, and she stands with Miss Liu like a sister." ”

"Really?"

Mrs. Hu stroked her white and tender face, her eyes were full of joy, and the old man had come to her room too many times recently.

Everyone naturally agreed: "Yes, what kind of rouge gouache did Mrs. Hu use?" ”

"My skin is dry in the summer, and it is still peeling, and it is very ugly when it is powdered, I really envy Mrs. Hu."

"yes, this skin looks like that of an eighteen-year-old girl."

“……”

Mrs. Prefectural Commander was praised and looked at the catkins on the side, "Su'er, you brought this beauty cream from Kyoto?" ”
