As soon as the man left, Aunt Xue sent another woman, who also brought a Midas touch lock and eight "peaceful and auspicious" gold and silver needles, saying that Baochai had committed a crime in the womb.
Due to an old illness, neither mother nor daughter will be able to come tomorrow.
And the golden longevity lock is exactly the same as the one given by Mrs. Wang.
This gift should be given as perfunctorily as possible.
.
"My eldest sister is having her third day tomorrow. This one won't come, and that one won't come either. What kind of thing is this?" Wang Xifeng's eyebrows drooped.
Although the eldest sister is a girl, she is also the first legitimate daughter of her generation in the Jia family. How embarrassing would it be if no one paid attention to the third party and it was done in a deserted manner?
In particular, the people who don't give Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng face are Wang Xifeng's natal family. Isn't this just trying to make Wang Xifeng heartbroken?
Jia Lian gave some advice, and Wang Xifeng hugged her eldest sister and said angrily:
"They don't feel pain, we feel pain ourselves! We don't care about them!
I still don’t believe it. Sooner or later we, our eldest sisters, won’t be able to compete with each other.”
This is the lovely thing about Wang Xifeng, she never gives up.
.
Someone came and went again outside, saying: "Second Miss is here."
Speaking of welcoming the Spring Festival, Jia Lian had met him a few times in the old lady's house. But at this time, he was scratching his head and thinking, but he couldn't remember what the second young lady looked like, and he couldn't remember the people in the old lady's flower hall.
The little ones look the same.
It seems that the nickname of "two pieces of wood" is indeed worthy of its name.
Shaoqing, a fair-skinned girl of fifteen or sixteen years old came in. She is neither tall nor short, her face is neither long nor short, and her appearance is neither good nor bad.
If I have to find some characteristics, it may be because I eat well and sleep well. The skin of Yingchun is very tender, the cheeks are like freshly peeled lychee flesh, and the nose is like fine mutton-fat jade.
Everything is crystal clear.
Her hair was combed neatly, and she only wore a small hairpin.
The clothes he wears are also ordinary, a half-new light gold and peach red two-color flowered jacket, lined with a cinnabar middle coat, and a gold and peach red long skirt.
Everything is just the same, nothing outstanding.
.
Yingchun came into the house, bowed politely, and said:
"How are you, second brother Lian? How are you, second sister-in-law Lian? Congratulations to your sister-in-law."
After that, he lowered his head and stopped talking.
Her mother was Jia She's concubine and disappeared in her early years. Yingchun has been following the old lady along with Tanchun and Xichun. Because of her dull temperament, she was not taken seriously by the old lady, and because she had never been taken seriously, so
It becomes more and more dull.
The usual liveliness comes from Wang Xifeng talking and laughing, but today Wang Xifeng felt uncomfortable, so she stopped talking.
After all, this is his half-sister, so there is no reason to neglect her, so Jia Lian smiled and said:
"Sit down, sit down, sit down. After all, you belong to your own family. There is no reason to be so polite."
Ping'er poured the tea and brought a few snacks. He thanked him in a polite manner, then sat down upright, holding the tea, took a sip, put down the tea cup, and said honestly:
"Tomorrow my little niece has her third bath. According to the rules, I should come to 'add pot'. My mother called me over and said that I am my aunt. I have to be richer than my third sister and the others to look good. I can't make people laugh. p>
I asked my mother what I should add, but she didn’t say anything and told me to go by myself.
I went back and asked my mother for it. She only said that the monthly money in my house was never enough, and I also spent all the rewards during the New Year and festivals. She usually told me to save money, but this time she said that I couldn't get it in the house.
What, tell me to ask my mother for it.
I thought about asking for something in the past, but my mother wanted to ask me, but she didn’t dare.
After much deliberation, I decided to ask my sister-in-law, I still have a small gold lock in my jewelry box. I wonder if it can make my mother feel better?"
.
Jia Lian frowned as he listened.
Is the IQ index of this Spring Festival lower than the body temperature?
She is a young lady from the Jia family. The furnishings, food and clothing in the house, as well as the jewelry and makeup, are all provided by the official company. Where is there any money to spend?
There are rewards during every year and festival, and there are also gifts from elders on ordinary days.
In addition, if you get the love and care of your elders, you will get a lot more besides these exceptions.
The monthly money of two taels per month for the ladies is actually just used to reward others or to add something extra to them.
Yingchun is known as "the dead person who vents his anger". How can it be compared to the old woman's words of "there is never enough to use, and all the rewards you get during the holidays are spent"?
The evil slave deceives the master!
Jia Lian was about to open her mouth, but she saw Wang Xifeng wink at her quietly, so she had to stop.
.
Over there, Ping'er was hugging his eldest sister to put him to sleep. When he turned around and saw Jia Lian frowning, he just said that he didn't understand what "adding basins" meant, so he smiled and said:
"This is my first time as a father, so naturally I don't know what 'adding pot' means.
Tomorrow our eldest sister will have her third bath. Each of our relatives will add a small ladle of water to the basin, and then put some gold and silver ingots, small jewelry, copper coins, etc. into it.
In those small households, in addition to copper coins, they can also put some happy fruits, dates, peanuts, longans, chestnuts, etc., and say a few auspicious words while putting them away, just to get good luck."
Jia Lian smiled and said to Yingchun:
"Did you hear that? That golden lock of yours is already a top-notch thing, quite respectable."
When Yingchun heard this, he lowered his head and pursed his lips, smiling without making a sound.
Jia Lian didn't know if she had anything else to say, and didn't dare to speak rashly.
After being silent for a while, Yingchun stood up, still lowered his head, and saluted:
"Now that I've finished asking, I'll go back."
Jia Lian looked at this wooden girl and couldn't help but sigh:
This girl is really honest, but she is also very stubborn. Let alone Sun Shaozu, a playboy who is too old to look down on her, which man can stand her boring look?
Inflatable dolls are softer than her.
.
"Wait a minute." Jia Lian stopped Yingchun and said with a smile, "I need to trouble my second sister to do something."
Yingchun still lowered her head: "Please tell me."
"Can you please go over and tell mother that my uncle and aunt, our wife here, Aunt Xue and Miss Bao will not come tomorrow. I don't know if my uncle and aunt will come."
First, Jia Lian wanted Mrs. Xing to understand that since neither the Wang family nor Mrs. Wang would come tomorrow, it would be a great opportunity for her to fully demonstrate her role as the eldest lady.
Secondly, Jia Lian just wants Yingchun to interact with more people, and at least improve her communication skills, so that she may not be bullied to death by Sun Shaozu in the future.
"Yeah".
This is Yingchun’s answer.
.
After Yingchun left, there were only Jia Lian, Wang Xifeng and Ping'er holding their eldest sister in the house. Jia Lian asked Wang Xifeng:
"The second sister is a coward and is too honest. As a sister-in-law, you should at least take care of this sister-in-law. The nanny and girls in her house bully her. Do you know this?"
At this time, Wang Xifeng had regained 80% of her former shrewdness, curled her lips and said:
