At that time, four night pearls were sent by others. The old lady took two and gave one to the second lady. She took two, one to Shen ruochu and one to Baoyi.
The old lady didn't know whether she had kept it or given it to someone, but it was too much for her to deduct Baoyi's dowry. If she really wanted to give it to li'e, why didn't she take it out.
Give Baoyi's to li'e, and I don't know what agreement li'e has reached with the old lady this time. Thinking about it, Chen Yao's teeth are itching with hatred, and she feels like she's going to be mad.
On weekdays, she can bear it a little. She thinks it will be over as soon as she can bear it. Anyway, the old lady can't survive her. Sooner or later, she will pass. Who knows, Baoyi and Shen ruochu are her bottom line.
Shen ruochu looked at Chen Yao and said to her, "of course not. It's Baoyi's stuff. How can the old lady give it to others?" It's not going to be the old lady's way.
The night pearl is a rare thing. There are only a few of them from the East China Sea. My mother-in-law has let them out, and the old lady has to take them all. It's impossible.
Chen Yao nodded and looked at Shen ruochu. His eyes were full of helplessness: "what shall we do? You also know the old lady's temperament. If you ask her for the night pearl, she won't give it to you. "
As for the old lady's temper, if you ask for it, she won't give it to you, but if you give it to the old lady, I'm not reconciled.
"I'll go with you and get the night Pearl back." Shen ruochu thinks about it and says to Chen Yao. Chen Yao is right. She will not give it to the old lady, but she can't take it away.
If there is no extra words, Shen ruochu gets up and leaves, supports Chen Yao, leads Ye ran, follows Chen Yao, and walks towards the old lady's western style building. Along the way, Shen ruochu follows, but Chen Yao still has no foundation.
It's because I know the old lady so well that I know that when I go this time, I will probably have a big quarrel with the old lady and ask for something back.
Shen ruochu and Chen Yao did not get to the old lady's yard until they saw the servant carrying boxes and cloth towards the old lady's western style building. Shen ruochu looked at several people nearby and asked them, "what are you doing?"
"This is a gift from Mrs. Zhao first." When the servant saw Shen ruochu, he said respectfully that it was these wives who could not be offended in the governor's mansion.
Chen Yao disdained to see these things, can't help but feel funny, Li dujun house can lack these things? Mrs. Zhao also asked someone to send it to her in advance. She really flatters the old lady.
No wonder the old lady dotes on li'e so much. Thinking about it, Chen Yao is more and more uncomfortable.
Shen ruochu takes Chen Yao's arm and walks into the room. The servant carefully follows them and goes to the old lady's living room. The old lady seems to expect Shen ruochu and Chen Yao to come, but she is not too surprised.
After all, she took the night pearl, and these two people will not give up. His second wife glanced at Chen Yao and Shen ruochu coldly. They were amused. They came fast enough to think that when they came, the old lady would hand over the night pearl? It's a dream.
Here, the old lady didn't seem to see Shen ruochu and Chen Yao. Looking at the things sent by the servant behind Shen ruochu and Chen Yao, she couldn't help asking, "what are these?"
That surprised appearance, as if he had never seen anything in the world, let Chen Yao most despise, on the old lady's usual food and clothing, are the best in the governor's mansion.
None of them has ever been kind to the old lady. It's just the things she sent. The old lady is happy to be like this, but it's just because the person who gave the gift is in line with the old lady's heart.
"If you go back to the old lady, these are some cloth and antiques that Mrs. Zhao sent to you. Our wife said that there are not many things. I hope the old lady doesn't mind." The servant said to the old lady politely.
The old lady listened to the servant's words, oh, a smile on her face. Here, the second lady walked over a few steps, went to the boxes, looked at them, and couldn't help exclaiming at the old lady: "old lady, these coral bracelets, jade and gold ware are all excellent. Even this cloth belongs to Yu Fangzhai. It's said that Yu Fangzhai's cloth is hand-made Yes, it's not machine. Every piece of cloth is just not gaudy. It's really like this. "
The second wife has a sharp tongue. She is a very good talker. With a few words, the talker is very comfortable. For a moment, li e is in the limelight, as if all these things are tributes from Beijing.
There's nothing else. The second wife's words naturally make the old lady feel comfortable. What she wants is the second wife's words. It's something that her niece from her mother's family sent her. It's something that makes her look good.
What's more, in front of Shen ruochu and Chen Yao, these two people don't always feel that their mother's family is good, and her mother's family is not bad.The second lady was very happy to please the old lady. When she came to the old lady and looked at Shen ruochu and Chen Yao, she felt a little more provocative.
Shen ruochu is not annoyed either. She takes Chen Yao to sit down. She just wants to see how she plans to act these two days. Here, the old lady thinks Chen Yao and Shen ruochu can't stand it and leaves by themselves. Who knows, they still sit down.
The old lady glanced at Shen ruochu and Chen Yao, and Mo said: "you two really choose the time to come here. This is what my niece sent. It's very good. Since you're here, I can't let you go back empty handed. You see, these things you like, choose some that you like, and take them back. Otherwise, people say I'm stingy. ”
the old lady's generous appearance is just satirizing them, which makes Chen Yao very angry. Originally, she came to ask for the night pearl, but the night pearl didn't arrive, and she was so angry with the old lady that she was really depressed.
Seeing this, the second lady pulled the old lady forward and said, "old lady, you are eccentric. You can't just give it to ruochu and his wife. I want it too."
The second wife has always been able to make a face for others. This act of coquetry is to make a face for the old lady. Shen ruochu thinks that it is these people who are used to giving the old lady. They really regard themselves as the Empress Dowager.
