"It can't be so shabby." Wang Mengjiao quickly took Xu Ruoshui's hand and took off the bracelet neatly. "The gold-plated one does not go up to the class, and it lowers the status of the young mistress." This sentence
The words were nakedly belittling Fang Liying and complimenting Xu Ruoshui, "Although my things are not expensive, they match yours very well."
The lid of the black lacquered brocade box was opened, and inside lay a string of brightly fluorescent pearl bracelets on the black satin backing. Each pearl was as big as the nail cap of an index finger. What was commendable was that they were even and round.
Ruoshui's eyes widened, and people who didn't understand thought she was attracted by the pearl, but no one knew that her chest was turbulent at this moment.
Wang Mengjiao was so proud that no one who saw this thing would be able to take their eyes away. "Young lady, let me bring it to you. Only then will it be worthy of your status." She picked it up and slid the pearl into the
On Ruoshui's wrist.
Xu Ruoshui turned over to the sixth one and rubbed it twice with her hands. Sure enough, this pearl bracelet was the dowry she wore herself. At that time, one of the pearls fell to the ground and she accidentally stepped on it.
I almost fell down when I picked it up. When I picked it up, I found that the pearl had a slight scratch on it, which could only be touched with my hands.
Wang Mengjiao was really shameless. She kept all her dowry and had the nerve to offer it as a treasure. However, Xu Ruoshui didn't expose it and forced a smile and said, "It's really a good thing, especially since they are all about the same size. It's really great."
Excellent, I wonder where my aunt found it?"
I deliberately asked Wang Mengjiao to see how she would answer, but unexpectedly she was already prepared, "To be honest, the eldest young lady said that although I have some wealth, I came in as a concubine, so there is no dowry. This thing is
My mother gave it to me, saying she wanted me to get closer to my family."
"Huh, sister, you are so loud. This bracelet looks like it is worth a lot of money," Fang Liying couldn't stay in there any longer. Wang Mengjiao compared her natal family to her in every way, so she opened the curtain and came out.
"Oh, sister, I don't mean that. I just think these pearls are suitable for my eldest mistress, so I sent them over. They are gold and silver. My sister has no dowry, so she won't have anything like that." Wang Mengjiao said again.
That gilt bracelet falls into that category, a worthless thing.
"Sisters, stop arguing," Xu Ruoshui took off the pearl bracelet and put it back in the black lacquer box, "I'm very happy that you two came to see me today, but it's too inappropriate to bicker over these things.
Well, if you let Madam know about this, wouldn't it make her feel uncomfortable?"
The two men glanced at each other.
"I like both of your things very much, so I accepted both of them." Xu Ruoshui saw that the pearls were his own, so he didn't intend to refuse, "Wouldn't it be better to do this and talk about family life? They are all my own."
Sister, what is there to argue about?"
"The eldest young lady..."
"Big cousin..."
The two of them spoke at the same time and shut up at the same time. Xu Ruoshui poured the tea again, "Drink some tea to quench your thirst." Yan'er brought two cups of tea to the two people who were sitting on opposite sides. "Yan'er, go and get the tea."
Get the box from my dressing table."
There were purses embroidered by Xu Ruoshui himself, in various colors.
Yan'er took it out and placed it in front of the two of them. Xu Ruoshui said, "The purse inside was embroidered by myself. This blue one is suitable for Aunt Wang, and that purple one is suitable for Aunt Fang. You two, please don't think my craftsmanship is vulgar.
, consider it my return gift."
Both of them smiled and continued, but Fang Liying liked her more, thinking that her gilt bracelet was not valuable, so she felt more at ease that the final gift in return was not valuable, "The eldest young lady is really good at her craftsmanship. I'm afraid it's hard to find even a thousand pieces of gold."
When Wang Mengjiao heard that her words were alluding to her, she said, "Sister, take a few more and put all the gilt earrings and rings in them, and your worth will increase a hundred times."
She couldn't say a few words, but the argument started again. If Xu Ruoshui wasn't worried about the person in the Nuan Pavilion, she couldn't help but look at the excitement. She stretched out her hand to touch her forehead and winked at Yan'er.
Fortunately, Yan'er was also smart and helped her master, "Madam, are you feeling uncomfortable again? I thought you were feeling better after just taking a nap."
Both Fang Wang and his aunts came over to Xu Ruoshui.
"Sister-in-law, I'll go back first and come see you another day when I'm free," Fang Liying said at a disadvantage, so naturally it was better to leave first.
"Then I won't disturb the young lady's hunger," Wang Mengjiao also stood up.
"Yan'er, please see off my two aunts for me." Xu Ruoshui naturally stopped accepting guests and asked Yan'er to see them off quickly.
After sending the two of them away, Xu Ruoshui took off the pearl bracelet and threw it heavily on the table. It was really shameless for a thief to openly say that this thing was his.
Yan'er came back and packed away the teapot and other things, and said, "The two aunts almost had an argument again when they went out. I can't seem to calm down."
"It won't stop, and it will only get louder and louder. Let's just treat it as watching a show." Xu Ruoshui put the bracelets and bracelets into the box. "Put the bracelets into my makeup box.
Just put it in the cupboard."
Yan'er didn't understand why they had to separate.
Xu Ruoshui didn't want to explain too much. Since Meng Tianbo was in Nuan Pavilion, he went to the bedroom. There were many issues to consider first, not only revenge for himself, but also Meng Tianbo. His sobriety caught him off guard and he was completely unfamiliar.
He said that he should always be wary of his suspicion of himself.
This makes the situation even more difficult.
Just when Xu Ruoshui was about to enter the bedroom, Mrs. Hu stopped her behind her, "Madam, the young master has something to say to you." She stepped out of the Nuan Pavilion and saw Yan'er also there, and said, "Close the door and go in.
Stand guard outside."
Yan'er rarely saw Mrs. Hu instructing her like this, and she felt unconvinced, so she didn't even move her feet. Xu Ruoshui saw that things were different from the past, so she signaled Yan'er to do as she did, and Yan'er calmly walked to the door.
After Xu Ruoshui entered Nuan Pavilion, Mrs. Hu closed the door, but no one came in again.
"I had a great time chatting with them..." Meng Tianbo looked very unhappy and sounded a little weak as he lay on the bed with a thin blanket covering him. Xu Ruoshui sat down on a chair not far from him, "Big
There's no need for the young master to make sarcastic remarks, it's just a few girls chatting together."
"Gossip? But why doesn't it sound like gossip to me? It sounds like opera. You are the one who beats the gong. Am I right?"
