Cui Yuanlai reported: "That Madam Ma has come with a generous gift."
Mu Ying said: "Since sister wants to help her, why not have her gift sent back and help her to the end so that she can remember her kindness."
Mu Yunhan looked at the gift list and saw that they were all gold and silver furnishings. Although they were expensive, they were ordinary, so he handed the gift list to Mu Ying and smiled without saying a word.
"This gift list is not special." Mu Ying thought she had made a mistake and whispered to Wu Chenxi: "What would you do if it were you?"
Wu Chenxi was raised by Mrs. Wu herself, and she knows more about the world than Mu Ying: "I will accept it first, and then return a similar gift."
Mu Ying was surprised, raising her head and thinking: "Isn't that the same? Send it in with your left hand, and send it back with your right hand."
"It's different. When you give something away, you get a favor."
Wu Chenxi smiled and said: "My grandmother said that it is polite to bring these things to your door.
Every gift is carefully selected and prepared. If you send them all back, I'm afraid you won't be grateful and say how nice this person is, but you will only be uneasy, embarrassed and overthinking.
I feel like I'm not willing to help, and I'm looking down on myself. If I keep pushing back and forth, and one person insists on giving it away, and the other insists on not accepting it, it will be even more embarrassing.
It's better to accept it happily first and return a similar gift later, so that you can gain favor and people will think that you think highly of him.
Of course, you should also check what is being given. If it is inappropriate or too valuable and rare, you have to send it back on the spot. Sister, is that true?"
Mu Yunhan agreed: "Old Madam, this is the wisdom accumulated over the years. I used to have the same thoughts as Xiaoying, and it was your eldest brother-in-law who taught me."
Mu Ying thought about it carefully and realized that it was really like this. She couldn't help but smile and hugged Wu Chenxi and said, "I just like to play with Sister Chen. It's delicious, fun and I can learn things."
Wu Chenxi also giggled and hugged her: "I like to be with Xiaoying the most. I am very happy all the time."
Mu Yunhan smiled and shook his head: "Two stupid kids."
***
This time Mu Yunhan posted a message to the Shen family, but instead of going to the Shen family himself, he invited Miss Shen San and Miss Shen to come over as guests.
Then I also asked Mrs. Shen to come over and give me some advice.
After all, it was related to Miss Shen Si's marriage. She was running back and forth for fear of causing rumors.
It's better to cover it up in this hidden way, so that everyone can be decent.
Mrs. Shen understood it as soon as she read the post.
Aren't the little girls just setting up a banquet to entertain the children? Where can a matron of her age come forward?
Mu Yunhan obviously had an ulterior motive in doing this.
So Mrs. Shen came with Miss Shen and her two sisters in a carriage, gave some decent instructions to the little girls, and sat down with Mu Yunhan in the flower hall to talk.
Mu Yunhan told Mrs. Ma about Mrs. Ma's visit. Without talking about peace for now, he asked Mrs. Shen: "It's up to you to make up your mind on this matter."
Mrs. Shen smiled slightly: "No one is stupid, but that one thinks everyone is a fool."
With the change in the direction of the palace, now she is not taboo at all.
Such a heartless and ungrateful person, who would have the patience to deal with her if the situation were not pressing!
Mu Yunhan sighed: "What do you think?"
Mrs. Shen smiled slightly: "It is better to resolve enemies than to make enemies. Of course, forget it. Not only that, next time I meet Mrs. Ma, I will treat her politely!"
