Yao asked with concern, "Fourth brother and sister, is there any news about fourth brother now? Have you brought any letters home?"

Speaking of Xu Laosi, Luo Shi was filled with hatred, anger, anger and sadness, "There is no news. It's the same letter as last time. My parents said they didn't care about him. I'm a country woman with no knowledge and no way.

What can I do? Alas... They are all seeking death. I don’t know what evil I have done outside, so I don’t know whether I am dead or alive.”

Yao comforted him, "Don't worry, my fourth brother is a eloquent man. He is blessed with great fortune and will be fine."

Luo Shi sighed, "I can only think like this, what else can I do? Who made him fail?"

"Then this time my sister is getting married, and my fourth brother is not at home, what have you prepared for her to add makeup to? My mother said, be careful, don't let the gift be too light."

Luo Shi mentioned the gift, "My husband is not at home, what kind of gift can I prepare? I don't have the things I need to buy with money. I'm going to buy some pairs of shoe soles for my old girl! I'm not very good at craftsmanship. I spend all day

I'm busy at night, so I'll poke a few needles at night and see how many pairs I can get out."

Yao heard what she said, "Is this okay? Mom said, if the gift is too light, will you get scolded? You also know Mom's temper, her mouth is like a knife..."

She actually wanted to forget it this way. If Luo Shi poked the soles of a few pairs of shoes, then she would embroider a few handkerchiefs. Then she wouldn't be the only one scolded.

You can also put the blame on Luo's head and say that it was agreed with Luo.

Luo Shi said carelessly, "If mother scolds me, there is nothing I can do. My man is not at home, and all my money has been stolen by him. What can I do? I would like to buy something for our old girl.

It’s easy to add makeup, and if nothing else, it can also make my sister look good in front of outsiders. She doesn’t need expensive ones. That’s because she understands us. If we don’t embarrass our sister, we can’t give it to her.

She is embarrassed. But I am trying to make her lose face. Fortunately, she still has you. Brother and sister-in-law, you are all people with face and status, so you can definitely make me lose face!"

Yao said sarcastically, "What kind of reputation do we have? Your eldest brother is just a bit vain. We have children in the big house and have a lot of expenses. We don't have to work at home to get paid, so what we have on hand is not as easy as your work. I thought about it and said

Same as you, if you pay for the shoe soles, I will embroider a few handkerchiefs. We will have a companion when the time comes. Anyway, the old girl also said, as long as it is your intention, I will embroider a few more handkerchiefs...

"

Luo Shi glared, "How can that be possible? Sister-in-law? Our eldest brother is a scholar! I am a shoe-in for a respectable person. Not only do I have no money, but he is still living and dying outside. We are different.

If you embroider a few handkerchiefs, you won't be scolded to death by your mother, right?"

Yao Shi felt that talking to Luo Shi was in vain. Luo Shi said she was stupid, but sometimes she was not stupid at all.

"You can embroider shoe soles, but I can't embroider handkerchiefs?"

Luo Shi exclaimed, "That's for sure. First, my man is not a scholar. Second, my man ran away and I don't know whether he will live or die. Third, my man is the fourth child, not the boss, so how can we compete? Sister-in-law, you don't have to worry.

, The eldest brother is naturally aware of the matter. My mother didn’t start talking about the makeup yesterday. I think the eldest brother has already prepared it. The eldest brother is a scholar, so he will definitely give elegant things when giving gifts, such as the four treasures of the study pen, ink and paper.

Inkstone, you can embroider a few more handkerchiefs and put them on."

Yao wanted to vomit blood after hearing this. Pen, ink, paper and inkstone? Things for a scholar are extremely valuable.

After this set, the last thing that happened was the ten taels of silver that went up...

After giving such a good gift, you still want her to wear an embroidered veil?

Her embroidery of handkerchiefs takes no time and no effort on the eyes!

This topic can no longer be discussed.

"We'll see what happens then. I'm going to wash my mother's clothes first..."

***

Xu Laoer returned to the second room.

In the evening, I talked to a few children about adding makeup to Xu Jiaojiao, and wanted to ask for their opinions.

The children all chatted one after another.

"Dad, it's a big deal for us to add makeup to my grandma, so we can't be careless. My grandma getting married is a big happy event for our family."

"That's right, we must add more. Generally speaking, to add makeup, you should add clothes and materials. But my old lady likes to wear new clothes and so on. I have already made them. There is no shortage of clothes and materials. We will send something else instead."

Well, I have a lot of clothing materials, and if I don’t use them, it’s a waste.”

"Then think about other things. What does the old lady need? Or maybe the old lady doesn't need anything. It depends on what Uncle Liao Qing needs. Let's give it to him..."

"Why don't you give me daily necessities, food and clothing, bed covers, quilts, etc. What do you think? This can be used for anything. Last time I saw that boss He gave it to my old lady.

The Eight Immortals table and chairs are so beautiful..."

"Sending calligraphy and paintings! Our master's calligraphy and paintings are very beautiful. I'm going to ask our master to write some beautiful calligraphy and paintings and hang them in our old lady's home. It will also look elegant and cultured."

"Can't our uncle be able to write calligraphy and painting?"

"My uncle's handwriting is flat and neat, with no distinctive character at all. How can he compare with our master's handwriting?"

"Isn't it good? Isn't it usually the uncle who writes?"

…

Xu Laoer saw a few children talking and the topic went off the rails, so he quickly corrected himself.

"Stop talking about your uncle, please come up with a serious idea about adding makeup to your old lady."

If it were an ordinary girl, as the second brother, he would have enough spare time, so he could just spend as much money as he wanted on makeup, which would be enough to give him face.

Giving money as a gift can make you look good and is affordable.

It's a pity that there is no shortage of money when I come to this old girl. It would be too cliché for him to give her money.

Erya said, "How about this, dad, let's get some more money and buy my old lady a set of silver headdresses, silver hairpins, silver rings, silver bracelets, etc. Do you like them? She doesn't usually like to wear them.

I don’t like to keep away gold and silver, but a woman’s family must have these things. If they are made exquisitely, there is no one she doesn’t love. Even if she doesn’t wear them on a daily basis, she can still use them as a property and pass them on to future generations without fear of waste.”

Sanya's eyes lit up after hearing this, "This is great! Dad, let's give this to you!"

Xu Laoer thought for a moment and said, "Okay."

Since both girls said this, it is absolutely correct. Girls should understand girls better.

Making silver jewelry is innovative and not cheap, and it also gives you face when you sell it.

fine.

Xu Laoer counted the silver coins on hand and thought for a while, "Tomorrow I will go to the silversmith shop in the town to have a look and give you a pair of big ones. If there is enough, I will give them to you two girls.
