Chapter 35: Observance of Women's Ways

Today's jewelry boxes are made of rosewood, which is not large, but quite delicate. It was divided into several layers, and Chu Lian opened them one by one, although there were many jewels inside, there were very few that really had weight.

These pieces of jewelry are fine to wear on a regular basis, but few are suitable for formal occasions.

There is only one set of colored butterflies in the jewelry box, and the head of the butterfly is relatively easy to handle, and it is mentioned in the original text, which was left to her by Chu Lian's mother.

As for the rest, it is the Wanfu jade pendant given by Mrs. He during the tea ceremony, the blood jade bracelet given by Mrs. Jing Anbo, and the red jade bracelet given to her and her sister-in-law the day before yesterday.

It stands to reason that Jing'anbo Mansion will also prepare some jewelry for the bride, but for some reason, Chu Lian has not seen any of them to this day. For this, several maids have complained.

But as long as you think about it a little, it will be clear that since He Changdi doesn't treat her like this, it is completely normal to find some guilt for her in some places.

In the original book, Chu Lian was still taken care of by He Sanlang when he first got married, at least he was not harsh on clothes, jewelry, eating and drinking.

For the head of the jewelry alone, He Changdi prepared more than a dozen sets for her, which is a lot of money.

Chu Lian pursed his lips and closed the jewelry box.

Hmph, don't prepare it for her, she's not rare, and when she makes money, she draws her own patterns and sends them to the jewelry store.

Chu Lian is not a big talk, she is learning design in modern times, and she is a food lover, and her usual hobby is to eat food and see the world, which can be regarded as half a travel friend.

If it comes to the Dawu Dynasty, if there is anything else she is good at besides food, it is painting skills.

Mama Gui and Xi Yan, who were standing next to them, saw Chu Lian sitting on the soft couch, pushed the jewelry box away, and hugged their knees as if they were in a trance, and their faces changed.

The old and the young glanced at each other, and secretly decided not to worry about the jewelry in front of the third grandmother in the future, so as to save the third grandmother from worrying. At the same time, Chu Lian's two personal servants also complained about He Changdi.

Which bride doesn't have a few sets of heads and faces, even if she is the daughter of an ordinary family, she has to buy a few silver hairpins with novel appearances when she gets married! Not to mention the noble family.

There are few people who are as aggrieved as their sixth miss.

"Put it all away! give the key to Fu Yan, and she will be in charge of the jewelry box in the future, and Xi Yan will help Mama take care of the use in our yard. ”

Mama Gui wanted to speak and stopped, but seeing that Chu Lian didn't seem to be in a good mood, she closed her mouth again and didn't say anything.

In fact, Chu Lian was in a bad mood, she was thinking about how many private rooms she still had!

After doing the math, even if you add the gold and silver bars obtained after melting the jewelry, it is estimated that it will not exceed six hundred taels.

The private rooms of the three grandmothers who are marrying in Jing'an Bo Mansion add up to only six hundred taels, and no one else will believe it!

Based on what he saw and heard in the Jing'anbo Mansion in the past two days, Chu Lian found that the Jing'anbo Mansion was not as grand and wealthy as the outside world said.

At least her mother-in-law, Mrs. Jing Anbo, is not doing well, and as for the old lady's private property, where will she get a granddaughter-in-law who is a generation apart.

If you want to eat, drink, and dress well, you still have to rely on yourself!

Chu Lian sighed, and found that it was difficult to be a comfortable rice worm anywhere. Especially a rice worm like her, who doesn't hurt her husband.

As soon as he settled his private property, a little girl outside told me that someone from outside Songtao Garden was coming.

Who will come at this time?

Chu Lian put on satin soft shoes embroidered with Qiu Ju, and took Mama Gui and Xiyan to the flower hall outside.

I saw three people in the middle of the flower hall, led by a tall and thin middle-aged mother, and behind her were two maids in light green dresses.

The faces of the three of them are ordinary, but when they look at it, they give people a strange sense of disobedience.

Chu Lian sat on the main seat of the flower hall and looked at the three people in front of him.

"What are you here for?" Chu Lian asked strangely.

When Mama Zhong came in, she was also looking at Chu Lian from the corner of her eye. Seeing that this new grandmother was dressed in a pink dress, covered with a light red light veil, because she was in her own yard, she only wore a bun, and only wore a peach blossom hosta on her smooth black hair, and her eyebrows and eyes still had the immaturity of a girl, but her face was a good color, and when she grew up in a few years, she would definitely be even more beautiful than now.

However, what attracted her the most was not Chu Lian's excellent appearance, but the clear and clear eyes, watery, and she could see the bottom at a glance, as if there was a power to cleanse people's hearts.

Mama Zhong is experienced, and subconsciously thinks that a woman with such eyes will not be a person with bad morals.

This third grandmother is really very different from what she imagined.

But thinking of the order that the third young master gave her before leaving, Mama Zhong put away her thoughts about judging people.

Mama Zhong took a step forward and bowed her head slightly, obviously looking ordinary, but it made people feel that her temperament was different from others.

"The third grandmother, the old slave is Mama Zhong, and she came to Songtao Garden to take care of the third grandmother by the order of the third young master. ”

Ah? Chu Lian opened his mouth and waited for her? Or on He Changdi's orders.

There are enough people in her yard, okay, in addition to the four geese that are close to her on weekdays, Mama Gui, and five or six second- and third-class maids, and there are also those who were originally waiting in Songtao Garden, and three more people came in, and there was almost no place to live.

Mama Zhong saw that Chu Lian didn't say anything, she only puffed out her cheeks slightly and stared at her, a pair of clear eyes blinked, and she was uncomfortable.

I had to bite the bullet and say: "The third young master said, if the third grandmother has any words and deeds on weekdays, let the old slave correct it more, and this is the letter that the third young master left before leaving." ”

Mama Zhong glanced at the expression on the third grandmother's face as she spoke, and saw that she was still the cute one with bulging cheeks and crooked head, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help twitching.

These three grandmothers are stupid, if ordinary brides hear these words, don't they immediately scold angrily?

It's just that her husband left, but she still doubted her words and deeds, and she had to get a few people around to watch.

Isn't this a hot slap in the face!

Chu Lian's expression didn't change, but she hadn't thought of this yet, she said to Mama Zhong: "Bring the letter to me and take a look." ”

Xi Yan stepped forward and took the letter and put it in Chu Lian's hand.

Chu Lian looked at a few resolute and resolute words on the envelope, "My wife Chu is personally opened", I'm afraid she can only see him calling her my wife on the envelope.

Chu Lian opened the envelope, and then pulled out a thin piece of paper from it, the paper was unfolded, and there was only a row of a dozen words on the entire paper.

After Chu Lian saw what was written on it, his face immediately turned red.

"Kill the enemy for my husband's northern border, and I hope my wife will abide by the woman's way!"

The four words of abiding by women's morals were actually written in a bright red red pen, as if she was afraid that she would not be able to see it.
