It was still a little early, so the maid and the wife were playing with the tea bowl, carrying the grass, and remembering things in an orderly manner. Two people who looked like managers were accompanying Mr. Bai to check. Seeing Eleven Niang coming in, the maid and the wife were happy.

, Manager Bai stepped forward to salute Eleven Niang, and the two stewards hurriedly bowed their heads and avoided the small hall.

You've worked hard these past two days, Eleven Niang said hello to Manager Bai with a smile.

This is my duty. Manager Bai smiled, saluted Brother Jin and Brother Shen, and said kindly, Master Six and Master Seven got up so early.

Brother Jin clings to Eleven's mother obediently: Mother said that today the second sister-in-law is going to serve tea to all the elders and she needs to get up early.

Brother Shen said: Brother Six said, we have to come early so that we can get a few more red envelopes.

Manager Bai was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: What the Sixth Master said makes sense. The Eleventh Mother remained silent and her smile faded slightly.

The older Brother Jin is, the more twisted truths he has. But everyone thinks that these are childish words, or they find it funny and laugh it off, or they don't take it seriously and just follow his wishes. But they don't know that everything is different.

It starts from the subtleties. With so many people in the family and pampering from top to bottom, she can never communicate and persuade one by one to make others accept her point of view. She speaks at the top of her lungs, and others may think she is

Making a fuss out of a molehill.

It would be better for her to keep Brother Jin with her. If she has any wrong points or opinions, she can correct them in time. It is better to take small steps and not go too far.

While thinking about it, I saw my son glare at Brother Shen.

Brother Shen immediately covered his mouth, and couldn't help but argue loudly to Manager Bai: We are not doing it for the money, we are doing it to pay homage to our aunts and uncles.

It feels like there is no silver 300 taels in this place.

Manager Bai resisted and still laughed out loud, but saw that Eleven Niang had only a faint smile on her face. She quickly suppressed her smile and said that the seventh young master said yes, then straightened his face and asked Eleven respectfully.

Mother: Madam, do you think there is anything to add or add to the furnishings in this room so that I can let the stewards decorate it?

Decorating a wedding hall is very particular. Not to mention Eleven Niang, even Manager Bai may not dare to say that he understands it. These things are all taken care of by the stewards of the ancestral hall who are familiar with etiquette.

Eleven Niang knew that he was changing the subject, and she didn't want to say anything. She looked around the small hall with a smile, and said some topical remarks to Manager Bai. Mother Song came over and said: Mrs. Wu is accompanying her to Nanjing.

Three grandmas came this way.

She greeted him out, and just after saying a few words, the third lady came with her son-in-law.

Everyone saw the gift, talked and laughed and entered the small hall.

Mrs. Huang, Wu Niang, Qiniang and others arrived one after another.

Everyone said hello to Eleven Niang, some exchanged greetings and reminisced about old times, and some played with the children.

The small hall was lively and full of laughter and chatter.

The Xu brothers accompanied Zhou Shizheng, Yongchang Hou Shizi, Huang Ziqiluo, Zhenxing, Yu Yiqing, Zhu Anping, Shao Zhongran and others. The female family members took their children to the west. The concierge came in and asked everyone to sit down according to their elders and younger ones. Xu Siyu came in with the bride to offer tea and kowtow to everyone.

Grandma Huang San, who served as the Quanfu person, brought Xu Siyu and Xiang to Xu Lingyi and his wife.

When worshiping the heaven and earth, the door was covered with a hijab. When the eleventh mother entered the new house, it was inconvenient for her mother-in-law to observe the ceremony. At this time, she couldn't help but look at Mrs. Xiang carefully.

She has grown into a big girl, tall and tall. She wears a bright red silk bra, which is thin but curvy. She has a fair round face, and there is a shyness in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows that cannot be concealed.

Eleven Niang smiled and accepted her tea, gave her a meeting gift of ninety-nine taels of red gold, and then gave her a red envelope of nine hundred and ninety-nine taels of silver notes.

Xiang blushed and kowtowed.

Mrs. Zhou gasped at the side and covered her mouth with a smile.

Everyone's eyes were on her.

She hurriedly said: It's okay, it's okay. Then she said, I was thinking that the fourth wife had married a daughter-in-law. I don't know where our daughter-in-law is yet. It's a good thing she didn't say it. When she said this, everyone couldn't help but look at her carefully.

Come, mother.

Perhaps because she is going to be a mother-in-law, she is different from the usual elegant and luxurious dress that always reveals a bit of uniqueness. Today she is wearing a bright red embroidered double-happiness pattern, a bun, and red gold jewelry. She looks well-behaved.

She walked slowly, but her eyes were dazzling, making her whole body brighter and more ethereal. She looked even brighter than Xiang who stood respectfully in front of her.

Two or three years younger. It immediately makes people smile.

But on this occasion, who had the nerve to tease the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law? Although they could barely hold back their laughter, there were some weird expressions on their faces.

Eleven Niang was secretly wondering what was going on.

Mrs. Xiang was beating her drum in her heart, recalling every move from the moment she entered the house to now, and couldn't think of any rude behavior on her part.

The two of them were thinking about their own affairs, but the etiquette that should be completed was still completed meticulously.

Grandma Huang San took the two newlyweds to the male guest in the east and met a circle of relatives before arriving in the west.

When getting married, aunts and uncles take the first seat. When recognizing relatives, it also starts with aunts and uncles.

Because Grandma Luo and Grandma Luo Si were not in Yanjing, the newlyweds went to kowtow to Grandma Luo San first. And because the daughter of the Xu family was a queen and not an ordinary aunt, someone was sent to deliver the reward before it was given.

, the newlyweds kowtowed three times to the east, and the eleventh mother gave the newlyweds a pair of jasper Ruyi given by the queen.

The room became lively.

Grandma Hongda took the three people by the hand and said she wanted to see the third lady. The third lady squeezed Grandma Hongda and said that those who have traveled a long way are guests, and guests should be invited first. Grandma Hongda took Mrs. Xiang's hand and joked: You can see clearly, this point

The one who didn't suffer was your third aunt. Then she took out a pair of twisted red gold bracelets and a red gold bracelet inlaid with tourmaline as a greeting gift to Mrs. Xiang. She smiled and said to the third lady, "We're all up to you."

As a distant relative, this gift is a bit precious.

Not to mention Mrs. Xiang who had just entered the house and was confused about the situation, even Mrs. Eleven was a little surprised when she knew that the Fifth Madam was going to knock the Third Madam. Not to mention the Third Madam, her smile immediately became a little stiff.

Mrs. Xiang secretly looked at Eleven Niang's expression and saw Eleven Niang sitting there with a smile. Then she stepped forward to receive the greeting gift and handed it to the maid beside her. She then stepped forward to kowtow to Grandma Hongda.

Fang, who was watching on the side, sighed secretly in his heart.

She reminded her husband early in the morning that she would also tell her mother-in-law. Although Xu Siyu was a concubine, he was the eldest son and it was Xu Lingyi's first marriage. With Xu Lingyi's temperament, some people who had been favored by him in the past would take this opportunity.

To repay the gift, the scene will not be bigger than that of Xu Sichen, who will become the crown prince in the future, but it will not be too shabby. Let the mother-in-law prepare more greeting gifts to avoid the sisters-in-law making a fuss, and the lack of preparation will make people laugh.

But looking at it like this, my mother-in-law probably didn't take it to heart at all.

She quietly called Mrs. Jin, told her her worries in a low voice, and asked Mrs. Jin to take off a pair of hairpins inlaid with southern pearls from her head: "I can only quietly hand this to my mother-in-law, and deal with it for the time being."

.

Mrs. Jin looked at the Nanzhu, which were all as big as fingernails and sparkling with splendor, and couldn't help but feel heartbroken for Mrs. Fang: Sister-in-law, how much silver do you have for your pearls? How about half of them for each of us?

There was no need for her mother-in-law to fight with her every now and then. Mrs. Fang just hoped that Mr. Jin would stand by and watch, and joked with a smile, "If you encounter this kind of situation again, just pull it out." Mrs. Jin laughed.

I can't help but think that if we encounter this kind of situation again, we will definitely not let Ms. Fang fill in the hole for her mother-in-law. But her jewelry was specially made by someone because her mother was afraid that she would be looked down upon if she married because she would not have enough dowry.

How could she be willing to give it away like this?

Thinking about it, I started to blame my mother-in-law.

They were stingy every time, and in the end it wasn't them, the brides-in-law, who helped smooth things over. When they turned around, they didn't see their mother-in-law supplying them with their children's things. Speaking of which, what's the difference between this and using the daughter-in-law's dowry?

When she saw her mother-in-law actually using Fang's beaded hairpin to greet the scene, she felt even more depressed.

When I go back to my parents’ home to give New Year’s gifts, I can’t help but complain to my mother.

Mrs. Jin is also a girl from a military family. She grew up in the guard house when she was young. She followed her brothers in horseback riding and archery. She was like a man. Later, her husband took charge of the affairs in the market, and people from the market came and went.

Shrewd. When my daughter said this, her eyebrows immediately stood up: You have covered your things. If your sister-in-law wants to be a virtuous person, let her do it. If your mother-in-law dares to have an idea against you, don't confront her head-on.

If your mother-in-law has a conflict, go and tell the dowager immediately. Don't forget, the dowager has the final say in your marriage.

Jin was a little hesitant: My sister-in-law has always treated me well. A few days ago, my mother-in-law asked me why I haven't touched my body yet, and my sister-in-law even helped me to talk. I turned against anyone like this.

When Mrs. Jin heard this, she immediately aroused her confusion: Why are you not pregnant yet? I will treat you well.

My mother-in-law blushed. My mother-in-law wanted to put a maid next to me into my room, but my husband didn't even ask for it. He was beaten several times by her mother-in-law. She said this with a heartbroken expression.

Mrs. Jin was very angry after hearing this: What kind of mother-in-law is she? She actually takes care of the affairs of her daughter-in-law's house. She still felt a little guilty after scolding her. After thinking about it, she held her little daughter's face in her hands and said: It's you again.

You are smart and know how to work together with your sister-in-law. I think that’s it, if anything happens in the future, you will listen to your sister-in-law. As for the hairpin, you gave it to your sister-in-law in exchange for some silver. Then I asked Mrs. Fang carefully.

The appearance of a bead hairpin.

Jin got his mother's support, and he undoubtedly told her about the good condition of the hairpin with some exaggeration. After playing at home for a long time, he returned to Sanjing Hutong happily, weighed the money and went to Fang's house.

carry.

After seeing off her daughter, Mrs. Jin changed her clothes and left messages to the major banks in Yanjing, asking the storekeepers to help tie a pair of identical pearl hairpins. Even though it was the New Year, it was not the season for new pearls to be on the market, so Mrs. Jin put the pearls on

The quality of the hairpin was a little exaggerated, and it was nowhere to be found. I couldn't help but ask in detail, and Mrs. Jin told the third lady how to exaggerate. By the beginning of spring, some wives of officials in Yanjing had heard about it.

The story of the third lady trying to deduct her daughter-in-law's dowry gradually spread. When the third lady found out from her natal sister-in-law, she was so angry that she gritted her teeth and felt that Fang was hypocritical and had given her the hairpin just to frame her.

When the account was placed on Mrs. Fang's head, she looked at her very leisurely. However, Mrs. Fang behaved in a well-behaved manner, no matter how provocative she was, she would not make any mistakes. She even felt that Mrs. Fang's face was like a Bodhisattva's and her heart was like a snake's scorpion.

, and within a few days he was so angry that he was bedridden in bed.

This is all for later.

Xu Siyu and his wife went to the temple early the next morning, ate the Yuan rice meal sent by Xiang Yijia, and then went to Xiang's house.
