Mrs. Jiang came in freshly dressed, surrounded by her two daughters-in-law and granddaughter-in-law. She held her head high and looked very arrogant. But when she saw Mrs. Gao, who was wearing dark red makeup and embroidered longevity patterns, her face turned dark.
point.
Because they came to my aunt's house to have dinner and were knighted, the Luo family's life became more comfortable last year due to Tian Minyan's support. The female members of the Luo family were all dressed up very brightly, although they were not as rich and noble as the Luo family.
But she is also much more decent than the peasant women from many households.
Take the Gao family for example. She wears a dress that matches her status and age. She has a red gold hairpin and two silver hairpins inserted into her high bun. She also has a silver hairpin inserted into her back bun. She wears a pair of red gold carved bracelets on her hands.
, much richer than before.
Looking at her eldest daughter-in-law and sisters-in-law, they were also well-dressed, each with their own appearance. On the other hand, the ones around her, although they also had a few pieces of jewelry, Shuitou knew at a glance that they were not of the same level.
Jiang became more and more unhappy and felt that Luo had taken all the good things to her parents' family. She didn't even think about it, but she had actually earned them with her own hands.
"Oh, madam, have a great New Year." Mrs. Gao pretended to have just seen Mrs. Jiang, and stood up with a smile to greet her: "It's been a long time since I last saw you, but you are still so healthy."
"Thanks to you." Jiang replied with a smile, his eyes fell on the wrist she held on to her, and his gaze was about to pierce through the two gold bracelets.
Seeing Mrs. Gao's face, Mrs. Chen cursed in her mind that the old lady didn't know how to be a good person. She hurriedly smiled and smoothed things over and said, "My uncle and wife's breath is much better than before. Look at her grandeur. What happy event is it?"
?”
"Hey, there's no such thing as a happy event. It's just that the family members are simple and harmonious, and this person naturally has a good atmosphere. If you and I count you all day long, noisy and noisy, no matter how rich you are, it will be vain, and the family will be restless.
Can the breath be good? Her aunt, do you think so?" Mrs. Gao waved her hand and said cheerfully.
Mrs. Chen's face stiffened slightly when she heard this, and she said sarcastically: "That's not true."
Gao glanced at the dark-faced Jiang, and said with a smile: "Now, I just do housework and tease my grandson. How can I live such a happy life? At this age, what else do I have to fight for? I want to have children or not.
If you don't take them with you when you die, let the children earn their own wealth." As she spoke, she changed the topic and walked to Jiang's side again and said: "Just like the old lady, she is really very lucky.
, the son has become a lord, and the granddaughter is also a county prince. In the future, if the grandson passes the examination as a scholar, he will have a first-class face, old lady, don’t you think so?"
Jiang's forehead twitched, trying to pull away the hand held by Gao, but he couldn't say a word, and his face turned red from holding it in.
"Isn't it true? Nowadays, everyone in Luojia Village who doesn't say that you are lucky, old lady, is extremely envious." Mrs. Gao's daughter-in-law, Ms. Zhou, also jumped out and said with a smile.
"It's all the same, it's all the same. My uncle and wife are also very lucky." Seeing Jiang's silence, Mrs. Chen said quickly.
Gao was very clear about Jiang's stubborn temperament, and had said enough, so she changed the subject. However, she had a cheerful and sharp temper, spoke appropriately, and was reasonable in everything, which made people want to
There was no way to refute him, so Jiang became even more gloomy.
"The old man and the old lady have worked hard for most of their lives, and they should have enjoyed the blessings of children and grandchildren long ago. This time, they might as well follow Brother Ren and the others to open their eyes. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Let them go on their own, otherwise they will be bored.
It will be the same when he comes back to live again. His eldest and second brothers are not like this." Gao Shi smiled and pretended to be unhappy and said to Luo Shi: "Sanniang, you seem to be soft-tempered, but you are stubborn at heart.
My parents-in-law and mother-in-law have also worked hard for most of the quilt. Although the family has been separated and the two elders live with the big family, you are living alone, but filial piety cannot be divided. Now that you are rich, you should join the two elders to enjoy the blessings.
.”
When Luo Shi heard this, he knew what his sister-in-law meant, and he said with a frightened face: "Sister-in-law, I know. I also want to let the old man and the old lady follow us. My husband and the children also agree, just because they are afraid of the old man."
The old lady doesn’t want to.”
"Is there anyone who doesn't want to enjoy the blessing?" Mrs. Gao scolded her, and then said to Mrs. Jiang with a smile: "Old lady, I am a girl who is hard-spoken and soft-hearted. You also know it. Don't blame her for being ignorant.
This mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are also a kind of fate, right?"
Jiang didn't understand Gao's twists and turns. Chen had been an official's wife for more than a year, but she could hear it clearly. Gao's words were beautiful, but in fact they were just deadlocked.
Don't make up your mind, just go to Kyoto with Lao San and others.
After thinking about this, Mrs. Chen's face changed slightly, and she secretly thought that this aunt is really smart. She is obviously a woman, but she doesn't know where she learned her ideas.
She didn't know that when she was a child, Gao's natal family was poor, and she was sold to a wealthy family to work as a girl for several years. She just signed a living deed and was redeemed after her life was over.
With my ears and eyes, I naturally learned a little bit about speaking.
"Look what my aunt said, since dad and mom are with us, they are raised in the same big house, so why should we be separated?" Mrs. Chen smiled, then sighed and said, "Dad is the best with our master.
My dear, Mr. Qian'er also said that I hurt the old man's heart without knowing it before, and I will always be filial and respectful to him in the future."
Mrs. Gao sneered in her heart, Mrs. Jiang is domineering, Mrs. Chen is cunning, Mrs. Li is a scoundrel, really shameless.
She picked up the tea, took a sip, and said calmly: "This is everyone's fate."
"Hey, let me tell you, it's still lively when a big family lives together. Even during the Chinese New Year, it's lively. Especially the bigger the house is, the colder it becomes." Mrs. Li couldn't hold it in for a long time.
He said loudly: "Third aunt, you are a small group, if you don't mind, let's live together as before, and even talk to someone, right? It's lively."
After hearing this, Mrs. Gao almost spat out a sip of tea and looked at Mrs. Li, she was too lazy to say anything and her eyes were full of contempt.
When Mrs. Jiang saw Mrs. Gao's look, she felt that she was embarrassed in front of her relatives, so she glared at Mrs. Li and said, "If you don't know how to speak, don't spit shit. You can stick to her without being ashamed."
Mrs. Zhou was also very clear in her heart, so she smiled and said: "Third aunt's family has a large population, two boys and two girls. In two years, we will have to marry another daughter-in-law. Even third aunt is still young, maybe.
This year we will give our third uncle another son."
Luo Shi was so embarrassed that her cheeks turned red, and she said angrily: "Brother Hai, wife, what did you say?"
"Don't be shy, it's not impossible. You two are both young, and your life is no better than before. You can afford to support two or three more of them." Mrs. Gao laughed and said, "When Brother Rui gets married,
Daughter-in-law, if you add a grandson to your family, you will have a great-grandson."
"Let's talk about it now that we have this blessing." Jiang glanced at Luo Shi's belly lukewarmly, his anger rising.
Mr. Gao was not happy when he heard this. What are you saying? No matter how much you don't like it, you wouldn't say it. What are you saying?
"That's true. Not everyone has blessings. Just like my sister, she now has two sons and two daughters. The daughter is the county prince personally appointed by the emperor. She is also a fourth-grade imperial concubine. In the future, the two sons will have fame.
It can be improved even more, but this blessing also depends on the person." Mrs. Gao said with a smile, her eyes could not hide the ridicule towards Mrs. Jiang and the others.
Jiang was so stimulated that his face turned green, and he stared as if he was about to have a seizure.
"Madam, the eldest aunt and second aunt from the county are here." The Lin family came in to report.
When Mrs. Jiang heard that her two precious daughters were here, she had no choice but to suppress her anger, but her face was still full of displeasure.
"Auntie, please come in." Luo Shi glanced at Jiang Shi and ordered calmly.
When Mrs. Jiang saw her sitting still and did not go to greet her, she felt angry. If someone from her mother's family came, she would rush to greet her.
"Madam, the eldest lady said that the county magistrate's wife has arrived and asked you to greet her." Another girl ran in and said.
After hearing this, Luo stood up and said apologetically to Gao: "Sister-in-law, look at me..."
"It's okay. The guests are important. My family doesn't care. I can do whatever I want. Isn't there an old lady here talking to me? I'm also watching the child. You can go and do your business." Mrs. Gao said generously.
Luo Shi smiled and walked out quickly.
When Jiang saw her leaving, she snorted coldly and said, "My wife is the best at being a good person, but outsiders are always more important than my own family."
Mrs. Gao knew what she meant. It was just that Mr. Luo didn't go to welcome the two aunts and stayed close to outsiders. He said: "There is a difference between closeness and distance. Naturally, my family doesn't have such big rules. Guests from outside are different."
, Sanniang is the mistress of the house, and the other party is Mrs. Gaoming, so she should greet her. This is etiquette."
Mrs. Jiang always spoke straightforwardly, far less tortuous than Mrs. Gao. When she heard this, she was about to have an attack. Mrs. Chen hurriedly pulled her and said: "Hey, mother, my aunt and the others haven't been here for a long time. Let's go to the front to greet her."
Welcome."
Today is the day when Tian Minyan and the others are hosting a banquet. If something evil happens, it would be minor if it doesn't look good, but it would be serious if it offends Tian Minyan and the others. Who knows what tricks that ghost girl has to deal with them?
Jiang, this old lady, loves to fight.
Mrs. Jiang had nowhere to vent her anger, so she took it out on Mrs. Chen, mockingly and implicitly saying: "You are the only one who knows how to be a good person. The others don't know how to behave. They are all stupid. They are members of their own family, so just
How can such a birdcage get lost?"
Mrs. Chen's face turned red and white after being scolded. When she looked at Mr. Gao and others, they didn't even look here. The two mothers-in-law and daughter-in-law just drank tea and chatted in low voices. Her cheeks couldn't help but heat up.
." After that, he ignored Jiang and left quickly.
After walking out of the door, she turned towards the door, bit her lip, and glared hatefully. If it wasn't for her own sake, she would have ignored this old woman's troubles.
But when Tian Huaifang and the others arrived at Tian's house, they saw Luo Shi, who was dressed neatly and full of nobility. She thought she was greeting them, so she hurriedly greeted them with a smile and said with a smile: "Three brothers and sisters, have a great New Year. Congratulations."
Tian Huailan saw that Luo Shi was wearing all the expensive clothes, a hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes, and she said flatteringly: "Sister-in-law, happy New Year."
"Hurry up and call someone." Tian Huaifang said to the children behind him.
"Happy New Year, third aunt." Huang Wenyuan was the most discerning and saluted. Huang Wenru was unwilling to do so, but she also called out.
Luo Shi hummed and said to the girl next to him: "Take my aunt and the others to sit in the inner house."
Tian Huaifang's face changed slightly after hearing this. Didn't he come to greet them? Just as he was about to speak, he saw that Luo Shi had already passed her and walked quickly to the door. He said cheerfully: "Mrs. Wen, I've been waiting for you to come. Hey, Mrs. Fang, you guys too
arrive?"
Tian Huaifang looked over and blushed. She had indeed come out to welcome guests, but the ones she greeted were other ladies. She knew these ladies too. Since she had seen them, she couldn't pretend not to see them, so she followed them and took them with her.
He saluted several children and said hello.
When the ladies saw Tian Huaifang, they just nodded lightly and complimented Luo Shi. They were not willing to answer Tian Huaifang's interruption at all.
"Look at me, I was so busy talking that I forgot I was at the door. Let's go sit in the room and have tea." After talking for a while, Luo Shi said apologetically.
The group of people went back to the inner house, talking and wearing rings, making it very lively.
When we arrived at the main room, we met the old lady, exchanged greetings and chatted with each other.
"Why don't you see Mr. Huimin County?" Mrs. Wen asked with a smile shortly after sitting down.
"She is busy with the banquet." Luo Shi replied hurriedly, seeming a little embarrassed: "I am incompetent, I am not as good as her."
"You should know how lucky you are. You are really envious of others when you raise your daughter so well." Mrs. Wen said angrily.
"No, it's a pity that my boy is not worthy, otherwise I would really take him home and become my wife." Mrs. Fang also smiled and praised.
"Ah, don't talk about people during the day, isn't this coming?" Mrs. Zhang saw a girl walking from outside with sharp eyes, and said with a smile.
When everyone looked around, they saw a man wearing a Sichuan brocade garment with peony patterns and gold buttons on his upper body, a silver-red braid with a branch pattern on his upper body, and a satin skirt with flowers and clouds of gold and butterflies on his lower body. Three thousand green silk threads were tied into a flying fairy bun.
There is a gold-plated emerald inlaid with purple gemstone step rocker inserted in the bun, a white jade leaf inlaid with pearls inlaid with emerald flat square, a small ruby bead flower inserted on the temples, a pair of earrings with drop beads and purple sapphires hanging in the ears, and a pair of emerald inlays on the feet.
Pearl Shu brocade embroidered shoes, a lotus-colored purse and a mutton-fat white jade pendant hung around the waist, which looked very noble.
She smiled brightly, crossed her hands on her chest, and the skirt of her skirt did not sway a bit when she walked. She was really generous, decent, elegant and calm.
When she bowed down Yingying, the chicken blood ruby bracelet on her wrist made everyone's eyes turn red. Only then did everyone realize it and started shouting hurriedly. Madam Wu Gaoming even gave a half salute, while Madam Zhang and the others brought
The young lady who arrived immediately bowed to her.
The two sisters Huang Wenyuan met at the side, and their eyes were more shocked than anyone else. Is this the same yellow-haired girl who played with mud back then? She was obviously a different person. Her nobility and momentum made them feel ashamed.
As for Jiang and the others, their eyes turned red when they saw that Tian Minyan was dressed more elegantly than a few days ago. Just throwing out a piece of such jewelry would be enough to make a poor family live for several years, but they
But didn't get one.
Mrs. Gao saw their reactions and looked at each other with a hint of sarcasm. She was jealous now, it was too late.
