I don't know how Siqi talked to Wang Shanbao's family, and I don't know how Wang Shanbao's family talked to the eldest wife.Anyway, on that day, after greeting the old lady, when everyone was sitting and chatting, the eldest lady said to the old lady: "Old lady, now is the time for everyone to invite New Year's wine. I want to take Yingchun for a walk or two." .”

Hearing that the first lady wanted to go out for a walk, not only the old lady, but also the second wife tightened the handkerchiefs - if the first lady really went out for a walk, she would not be at the same level as the people she could walk around.

The old lady was also a little unhappy: "Okay, why are you bringing this up again?"

In the past, if the eldest wife saw that the old lady was unhappy, she would definitely admit it first.But today, she insisted.Thinking of Wang Shanbao's family, she told her about the gift list that Jia Min sent home every year, and she couldn't help but feel uneasy: Even if the person married in the Spring Festival is not as good as Jia Min, but even if it is halfway up, the things brought back are indispensable. And as Yingchun's aunt, she can always get the big head.

So the eldest lady glanced at the Yingchun sisters who were playing on the side, and said with a smile: "The old lady always loves us and doesn't want us to be tired. But this year is different from the past, and Yingchun will grow up every year. It should be on time."

The second wife interjected: "The eldest wife thinks her memory is wrong, the second girl is only this year..." I can't go on, the eldest wife said that she will not be ready until next year.The old lady also looked at the girls who were playing and joking, but no, among the girls, it was indeed time for Yingchun to look at her.

The second wife thought about her speech again: "I'm not in a hurry. Besides, there is no woman who is in a hurry to talk about such a thing."

The eldest wife snorted coldly: "Fortunately, I put Yingchun in front of the second wife at ease. I didn't expect the second wife to think so. Of course, no woman's family is rushing to such a thing. But it must be known , there are girls of the right age in our family, isn't it?"

Originally, Yingchun felt a little uncomfortable when the eldest lady talked about her affairs.Now the two wives are complaining about this again, and she is even more restless.Li Wan saw that she was uncomfortable, and led the sisters back out, and Yingchun smiled gratefully.

The old lady and the second wife in the room did not smile.In particular, the eldest wife publicly accused the second wife of not paying attention to the matter of welcoming the spring, which made the second wife's face turn red and white.But it turned out that everyone was confused, and now that the eldest lady brought this up, even the old lady couldn't help but stop it.

I just heard the old lady say plainly: "As parents, it is a good thing for you to think about girls. The only thing is, whoever chooses this person will have to pass my eyes in the end."

The eldest lady replied "yes", and then said: "There is one more thing to ask the old lady. It is time to see each other for Yingchun. Do you have to prepare the dowry? If you don't prepare it now, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in time."

The second wife's veil was twisted even harder, okay, I said that you are so concerned about the second girl's affairs, you dare to want to meddle in the dowry.The old lady had the same thoughts as hers, and what she said was not very pleasant: "Our mansion is not short of manpower, even if we prepare now, there is still time."

The eldest wife still didn't give up: "But not to mention sister Min, at that time, even before Yuan Chun entered the palace, didn't she prepare for it early. But it was useless when she entered the palace later. Yingchun didn't dare to talk to her aunt. But she and Yuan Chun are sisters, so they can't be too different."

What the second wife dislikes the most is her Yuan Chun, who wholeheartedly seeks a way out for the mansion, but ends up only entering the palace as a female official.At that time, he said: "This second girl, I'm afraid it can't be compared with Yuan Chun. Yuan Chun is also the eldest daughter. The dowry of the eldest daughter is different from that of other sisters."

The eldest wife still has something to say: "Second wife, you can only say this to yourself. You must not say that when you go out." You Yuanchun is just the eldest daughter of a fifth-rank official, but you cannot be said to be the eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion. female.

The old lady noticed that the second wife's face darkened at the same time.The old lady's face was dark because this Mrs. Xing dared to speak so bluntly in front of her old man.The second wife's face was dark because she remembered the embarrassment she encountered when she went out to socialize.

"Okay, what nonsense." The old lady was a little unhappy: "You take the second girl out to socialize first, and talk about other things later."

The eldest wife didn't expect that she could really succeed, she was so happy that she forgot all of a sudden: "Old lady, this second girl has to make some new clothes and some new jewelry when she goes out." Maybe she can follow suit.

This is off the table.The old lady didn't even look at her, she just said lightly: "Now Lian's daughter-in-law is the housekeeper, you can find her yourself."

The old lady thought very well, she knew that Wang Xifeng never wanted to see her mother-in-law, and she must have obeyed Mrs. Xing's words.But she forgot that the eldest wife may not always welcome her, so why not be careful when standing in front of her?

Mother-in-law, in this era, is the heaven of daughter-in-law.Sometimes whether the daughter-in-law is doing well or not depends not on how her husband is doing, but on how well the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get along.As for Mrs. Xing, as Wang Xifeng's mother-in-law, the old lady told her to go to Wang Xifeng herself. How much discount would Wang Xifeng dare to discount?

No, the eldest lady and the old lady said that within two days, there was already a needleworker who came to tailor the clothes for the second girl.Qiaoyun and Pearl's eyeballs almost fell out of shock—their girls were not very prominent, so they didn't like the old lady.In the past two years, I used Pearl to make coats and purses for the eldest wife from time to time, and went to the East Courtyard to ask for her a few more times, so that the mother and daughter had something to say.Why this time, the eldest wife actually tried her best to find a marriage for the girl.

After those people had left, Qiao Yun found an opportunity to ask Si Qi: "How did you do it, I don't want the eldest wife to be so concerned about the girl's affairs."

Siqi smiled complacently: "It's just to match what he likes. My grandmother only talked to the eldest wife a few times. It turns out that the New Year's etiquette brought back by the aunt every year has something extra to honor the old lady. The eldest wife is What kind of temperament, you can't be tempted when you hear that there is money to be obtained?"

Pearl, who was listening to them at the side, was stunned when she heard this: Although the time was a few years earlier, it might not be impossible to meet Sun Shaozu, the Zhongshan wolf.But the eldest wife is blindly greedy for money, marrying Yingchun into a family with a glamorous appearance but a filthy interior, isn't she harming others.At that time, it is impossible to say, even if the task is completed, there will be another layer of resentment.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help saying: "I don't know what kind of family my wife will show the girl. If money is all you want, it's not very good."

Qiaoyun and Siqi both listened to this, and it was inevitable that Siqi would talk to her grandmother again, trying to persuade Mrs. Xing.It's just that Mrs. Xing thinks she has the upper hand over Mrs. Wang in this matter. When she is proud, how can she listen to persuasion? She can only figure it out slowly.

Fortunately, Yingchun is the time to see each other at this time, it is not as good as in the original book, the years are fading, and there is no choice.And Mrs. Xing wanted to use this matter to overwhelm Mrs. Wang again, so she became extremely picky. Some people showed some intentions for a while, but they were just bastards and could not satisfy Mrs. Xing.

This matter started a year ago, and it has not been settled until the end of the year.However, Qiao Yun had already left the mansion during this period.Because Pearl is going to see the small house Qiaoyun bought for her, and she promised Siqi to bring her the cakes from Shunzhai, so this year it is Pearl who will go home.

The Hua family has finally improved over the past few years: it is one thing that Pearl occasionally helps, and Hua Zifang has a successful apprenticeship, which is another aspect.So this year's New Year's Eve dinner at the Hua's family is quite sumptuous, and everyone also has some wine to watch the night together.

Hua Zifang's woman has been in the house for two years, and she is finally happy. Now she has a belly of five or six months, and she speaks confidently at the banquet: "I'm not talking about sister-in-law. I haven't made much progress in that mansion all these years. My aunt's family The neighbor's girl is also in the mansion, and I heard that she is only a third class. Oh my goodness, when I got home, she looks very grand. The things on her head and in her bag are all things we have never seen before. It is said that it was all rewarded by the master of the mansion."

Pearl's face darkened a long time ago, and she didn't say anything sarcastic because it's not a good time to spoil the fun for Chinese New Year.Fortunately, Hua Zifang still winked a bit, seeing that Pearl stopped talking, she wanted to divert her with other words.Not wanting his wife to be a no-brainer, she went on to say:

"If you want me to say, sister-in-law should also be more motivated. Don't talk about gold and silver, at least get a few more snacks, which is also your honor as a policeman in the mansion."

Hua's father and Hua's mother only serve food and wine, and they don't stop the daughter-in-law from talking nonsense.Pearl didn't want to bear it anymore, so she just sneered: "It's a pity that sister-in-law has such great ambitions, why didn't she think about entering that mansion that day. If sister-in-law entered that mansion, she would be worse than that girl. I just don't know what sister-in-law said. Who is it? Which room is it serving in?"

Her sister-in-law is worthless, her face is full of shame: "My family is not a poor family, how could I be a slave to others."

"Shut up!" Hua Zifang shouted at her daughter-in-law, then smiled at Pearl, "Don't worry about your sister-in-law, she's an idiot."

Because I have to go to see the house tomorrow, Pearl can't go back to the house now, so I just said coldly: "Sister-in-law knows that we don't have enough food at home. People say that when you marry a chicken, you marry a dog. Now my sister-in-law has entered Hua's house. It's better to forget about my aunt's neighbors."

After finishing speaking, he didn't care whether her sister-in-law's face was red or white, or whether she complained of stomach pain after a while, she had to let Hua Zifang accompany her back to the house to rest, and just eat and drink freely.

Mother Hua couldn't help it, so she had to say: "Da Ya, you must never look at it, you have to look at the child in your stomach."

Pearl nodded: "If I hadn't looked at the child in her womb, I would have told her just now that she would be able to enter Hua's house, not only with the money I sold myself, but also with an extra five taels of silver from me. I don't know about those things. Silver can buy a few plates of dim sum."
