Man Bao and Bai Shan knelt in front of Mrs. Liu. Man Bao served tea and said crisply: "Greetings to grandma, greeting grandma."
Mrs. Liu had calmed down her emotions, looked at her lovingly, nodded and smiled, "Good girl."
She took the tea and drank it. After putting it on the table, she asked Aunt Liu to give Manbao a box and said with a smile: "This is the jewelry your great-grandfather gave me when I got married. I can't use it now. Now
for you."
Aunt Liu opened it and gave Man Bao a look. Everyone in the Bai family looked over and couldn't take their eyes away from it. Inside was a complete set of jade ornaments, with cyan and yellow floating in the top pair of jade bracelets.
The third old lady looked at it with sharp eyes. She knew that this set of jade jewelry was her sister-in-law. After decades of experience, she naturally knew what Mrs. Liu's most proud set of dowry jewelry was.
Unexpectedly, twenty years ago she was reluctant to give it to Mrs. Zheng, but today she is willing to give it to her granddaughter-in-law.
This is a set of Lantian jade jewelry. It not only includes jade bracelets and jade pendants, but also a jade step rocker worth thousands of gold. It is a jade step rocker inlaid with jade in gold. All the jade in it is the best jade.
Mrs. Liu's natal family only had one legitimate daughter. I heard that she took away almost half of the family's property when she got married. Mr. Liu also spent a lot of money to go to Lantian to beg for jade and brought back many Lantian jade to make jewelry for her.
Bu Yao, there are even things like jade belts.
Now more than 40 years have passed, Lantian jade has become increasingly rare, and these items have become even more precious.
Just like this, can their family still be short of money?
The third old lady couldn't help but look at Bai Min.
Bai Min reluctantly looked away. Regardless of whether she was really short of money or fake, the relationship between the two families needed to be repaired.
Bai Min comforted himself in this way and felt better.
Man Bao was also shocked by the contents of this box. He often hung out with Chang Yu, who loved gold, silver and jade. Man Bao naturally knew how valuable the jade in this box was.
She held the box and looked at Mrs. Liu. Mrs. Liu looked at her with a smile, "Why, you don't want it?"
Man Bao immediately hugged the box and smiled sweetly, "Thank you, grandma."
Manbao reluctantly handed the box to Wuyue behind him, then stood up, walked to Mrs. Zheng, knelt down, raised his head and smiled sweetly, "Mother, please have tea, and say hello to mother."
Mrs. Zheng nodded with a smile on her face, took the tea and drank it. She also gave Man Bao a set of jewelry, but they were gold jewelry. The style was very exquisite. Man Bao fell in love with it at just one glance.
She stood up holding the box, turned around and handed it to May, and then went to see the guest on the left.
Mrs. Liu said: "This is your third grandmother."
A woman brought the futon up, and Man Bao understood that this also required kneeling, so he and Bai Shan knelt down together, served tea and said with a smile: "Greetings to the third grandmother, greetings to the third grandmother."
The third old lady smiled and nodded, took the tea and drank it. She asked the girl behind her to give the couple the red seal she had prepared early in the morning. After thinking about it, she still held Zhou Man's hand and put the jade bracelet she had been wearing on her wrist.
Pull it off and put it on her hand.
Man Bao looked at Mrs. Liu hesitantly.
Mrs. Liu smiled and nodded at her, and Man Bao accepted it, bowed her head slightly and thanked her with a smile.
Then they visited the third uncle Bai Min and his third wife, the fifth uncle Bai Heng and his fifth wife, and received four red envelopes, and then the two peers they brought.
This required Manbao to give a gift, but fortunately she had already prepared it.
The gifts from Xiao Qian and Mrs. Liu were mixed together, and the little girl got two pairs of shoes, a purse with silver coins and two handkerchiefs; the man got a study room and two pairs.
shoes and a purse containing silver nuggets.
After giving away the gifts, everyone felt refreshed and went to the dining room to eat.
Man Bao consciously helped place the dishes and chopsticks, and then Mrs. Liu smiled and waved: "Okay, let the servants do these things. Come and sit down. We got married yesterday, and they were all very noisy."
,Are you all tired too?"
Man Bao smiled and said, "I'm not tired," but still walked to Mrs. Liu and sat down.
The third old lady's eyes flickered, and the third lady smiled and said, "Auntie really loves my grandson-in-law, and she can't bear to establish this rule in one day."
Mrs. Liu smiled and said: "We have a small family, and your family, Ding Xingwang, doesn't have so many rules. I also envy your mother-in-law. Your rules are very good even if the elders don't mention them. This child
It’s different. I grew up with Shanbao and I don’t know her well. I already know what rules are good and what are bad, so I don’t need to test her.”
Zheng nodded slightly and said, "Yes, you can't learn from us after more than ten years. It's useless to teach you now. I think it's good as it is now."
Third wife and others:...
The two young ladies of the Bai family glanced at Zhou Man vaguely, their eyes full of envy.
Mrs. Liu picked up her chopsticks and picked up a handful of green vegetables, and said with a smile: "Let's have breakfast quickly. We are all tired of waiting so early in the morning. Are we all hungry now?"
There were a lot of people at this time, and everyone obeyed the rule of not saying anything when eating, so everyone ate breakfast in silence.
Both Man Bao and Bai Shan had good appetites. They ate two steamed buns first, then ate the meat porridge mixed with some pickles. After finishing the meat porridge, they picked up the steamed buns to eat.
The steamed buns made in the kitchen are different from those in restaurants outside. The steamed buns in restaurants outside are very affordable and very solid. If they are frozen and hit on someone's head, they will be knocked unconscious.
The steamed buns made at home are white, fluffy and about the size of half a palm. You can pull them off gently and take just one bite. They are soft, sweet and especially delicious.
Both Man Bao and Bai Shan like it very much, even if it doesn't have fillings like steamed buns.
The third wife and others on the side watched her eating, stunned again and again, extremely surprised.
Especially the two little girls who were only a few years younger than Man Bao. After looking at Zhou Man Bao up and down, they were particularly envious and felt that she must have the secret to keeping in shape.
After eating so much, he was not even fat. On the contrary, he was well-proportioned, plump and cute. The two of them were immediately envious.
After breakfast, Mrs. Liu asked Bai Shan and Zhou Man to take four of their peers to play in the garden, while she dealt with the three old ladies and others.
The two parties were not familiar with each other, so they couldn't play for a long time. The other party said goodbye before noon. As soon as they left, Man Bao threw himself on the soft couch and sighed, "It's so comfortable~"
Bai Shan couldn't help being happy, and sat down on the couch to huddle with her. There was no one else in the room, so he simply kicked off his shoes and huddled with her, whispering, "When we get back tomorrow, we will send someone to the county government office to sign the marriage contract."
."
Man Bao nodded.
Seeing her nodding, Bai Shan whispered to her, "So you are really satisfied with this marriage?"
Man Bao gave him an elbow and said with a red face: "If you say these embarrassing words to me again, I will withhold the marriage certificate from you tomorrow and won't marry you."
