"Since my mother agreed, it was settled." Mother Shen's face was delighted.

"Hmm." Old Madam Shen replied in a dull voice.

Shen Changze really couldn't listen to it anymore, and twisted his eyebrows and said: "The money in the treasury is still sufficient, so it won't be like this." ”

Although today's Hou Mansion is not rich, it is not so much that it cannot afford to hold a banquet.

Turning the birthday gift into silver, he can't afford to lose this person.

"You don't know how to spend money if you don't have a home. Although the money in the treasury is enough for a birthday banquet, do you think that you will need to spend money to live after the birthday banquet?" Shen's mother looked reproachful.

Shen Changze choked and opened his mouth.

Although Jiang Shu conspired to solve the long-term worries of the Hou Mansion, he could not solve the immediate worries.

"Don't worry, only a few of us know about this matter, even Qingrong won't tell it, and no one will laugh at it." Shen's mother was patient and relieved.

But he knows it! You will look down on yourself!

Shen Changze felt extremely humiliated, especially after meeting Jiang Shu's eyes.

Jiang Shu's eyes were plain, but Shen Changze felt that there were ripples in it, and it was all sarcasm.

He didn't want to be undignified in front of Jiang Shu.

"The money for my grandmother's birthday banquet came out of the treasury." Leaving this sentence, Shen Changze got up and left angrily.

"I was thinking about the Hou Mansion wholeheartedly, and I didn't swallow a tael of silver privately, why did it become mine, and I ended up complaining everywhere." Shen's mother wiped away her tears with grievances.

Old Madam Shen was upset when she heard this, and her previous pleasure was swept away, and she regretted agreeing to hold this birthday banquet.

But the words have been said, if they regret it now, the Lu family doesn't know what to think of the Hou Mansion.

So far, I can only do it head-on.

In Huaqing Courtyard, Shen Qingrong looked at the renovated courtyard and felt kind and familiar.

"Husband, this is my boudoir." Shen Qingrong walked into the main house with Lu Mingke, and a touch of shyness and pride appeared on his face.

Although the Hou Mansion is not as rich as the Lu family, she is also rich in clothes and food when she is young, and her food and clothing are no worse than other ladies.

Later, Jiang Shu married into the Hou Mansion, and in order to please her, he bought her a lot of clothes, jewelry, utensils, and ornaments, and decorated her boudoir with exquisite beauty.

Lu Mingke glanced at it casually, walked to the soft couch and sat down, and retreated.

"Husband, you're tired and want to rest for a while?" Shen Qingrong asked thoughtfully.

Lu Mingke looked at her, and said with a calm face: "You are just in Shouyongtang, you have lost your words and deeds, why are you wrong?"

Lu Mingke looks docile and peaceful, but in fact, his godson treats his wife very strictly. Every time Shen Qingrong's words and deeds are wrong, he must preach and correct it.

As soon as he put on this appearance, Shen Qingrong's scalp tightened, and he felt reprimanded by his husband.

"I ...... I was so happy and excited, I was so bent on worrying about my mother, and I was negligent and didn't take anything else. Shen Qingrong bit his lip in defense.

Lu Mingke said with a solemn expression: "You are now the wife of the Lu family, everything you say and do represents the Lu family, you should be cautious in your words and deeds, and you must not damage the face of the Lu family without saying or doing." ”

"I see, husband." Shen Qingrong walked up to Lu Mingke and pulled his arm to be coquettish.

Lu Mingke liked her very much, and said in a tone that softened his expression: "Change your clothes and dress up at dinner, don't be so ostentatious." ”

Today, Shen Qingrong dressed up, and Lu Mingke disagreed. But Shen Qingrong insisted that everyone in Beijing was like this, especially her sister-in-law Jiang Shu, who spent money and wore luxury.

Lu Mingke believed it, thinking that it would be normal for the girl to return to the door and dress more gorgeously, so he acquiesced.

But when he arrived at the Hou Mansion, Jiang Shu was dressed in simple clothes and light makeup, and he was not as luxuriously dressed as Shen Qingrong said.

Regardless of Jiang Shu's person, they should not be overly publicized when they return to Beijing Province.

Pingyang County was rich and far away from Shangjing, almost out of the control of the imperial court, which caused the emperor to suspect and the courtiers to be jealous. The eyes are on them, both openly and secretly, and they must be careful not to make a mistake or take a wrong step.

However, Shen Qingrong didn't understand the government, she only knew that the Lu family was rich and powerful, and she finally went back to Beijing to show off her scenery.

But Lu Mingke is simple and low-key, does not like luxury and publicity, and has a stubborn temperament. Shen Qingrong was displeased, and he didn't dare to disobey.

Before dinner, Shen Qingrong changed his clothes, took off his hair full of pearls and redressed.

Looking at the beautiful and dignified Shen Qingrong, Lu Mingke was very satisfied.

When the family of three came to Shouyongtang, the banquet had been set up, and Shen Changze and the others had arrived.

Seeing the strange woman sitting beside Shen Changze, Shen Qingrong stepped forward happily: "This is the sister-in-law of Jinchu that the eldest brother brought back from the border pass?"

"Hmm." Shen Changze responded.

Cheng Jinchu raised a smile and said apologetically: "I was a little unwell during the day and didn't come to greet me, so it's no wonder that my sister is not surprised." ”

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I'm generous." Shen Qingrong took Cheng Jinchu's hand, looking affectionate at first sight, and glanced at Jiang Shu defiantly.

"You gave birth to the eldest son and eldest daughter to the eldest brother, and now you are pregnant, you are a great hero of the Hou Mansion, and you deserve to be rewarded." Shen Qingrong said, took a jewel makeup box from the handmaiden's hand, and sent it to Cheng Jinchu.

Cheng Jinchu was flattered and opened it and was shocked by what was inside.

In the makeup box is a set of southern pearl heads, with gold as the base, thumb-sized southern pearls as the main, with inlaid with various colored gems and colored beads, Ambilight is extraordinary.

"It's too precious for me to take it." Cheng Jinchu wanted to return it.

Shen Qingrong held her hand and pretended to be displeased: "Sister-in-law doesn't like me if she doesn't accept it." ”

"It's too precious." Cheng Jinchu was a little ashamed.

"Precious is what suits your status." Shen Qingrong said with concern: "At my grandmother's birthday banquet next month, you will make your debut as the lady of the Hou Mansion, and you will wear this set of Nanzhu on your head. ”

"It's too valuable." Cheng Jinchu knew that he couldn't get a suitable return gift, so he hesitated and didn't dare to accept it.

Shen Qingrong rolled his eyes to Jiang Shu and said, "Everyone has a share of this gift, and I gave it to my sister-in-law." Yes, sister-in-law. ”

Cheng Jinchu looked at Jiang Shu when he heard this, and saw that Jiang Shu did not refute, thinking that the gift that Shen Qingrong gave Jiang Shu was as valuable, so he accepted it with trepidation.

But she didn't know that what Shen Qingrong gave to Jiang Shu during the day was just a sea pearl necklace in good condition. Although it is precious, it is far less than the head of Nanzhu.

Jiang Shu saw through Shen Qingrong's thoughts, but he didn't break it.

She knew that Shen Qingrong was deliberately humiliating and bullying her from a humble background.

Shen Qingrong was in a good mood, and continued to disgust Jiang Shu and said: "Sister-in-law, Sister-in-law Jinchu is very inconvenient when she is pregnant, you can take care of her more, and by the way, you can take care of her, and by the way, you can use it from her." ”

Jiang Shu frowned, he couldn't bear Shen Qingrong's entanglement, and asked lightly: "Is this gift prepared by the Lu family, or is it prepared by the little sister herself?"

What?

Shen Qingrong didn't react for a while.

Lu Mingke was alert, and said immediately: "The return gift is prepared by the mother, and the rest is prepared by Qingrong." ”

After a pause, Lu Mingke said again: "My mother doesn't understand everyone's preferences, so she lets Qingrong be the main choice." If there is anything inappropriate, please forgive me. ”

Lu Mingke apologized to Jiang Shu.

He also felt that Shen Qingrong had gone too far.
