"Since the old lady likes Miss Tian so much, why don't we stay at home and be her granddaughter-in-law?"

With that said, the entire hall fell silent. Very soon, in order to cover up the awkwardness, some people began to chime in, pulling on She Miao's hand to tease her, asking her how old she was and what kind of people there were in the family.

He Miao glanced indifferently at the woman who had just spoken.

It was a round faced woman, with a high bun and a head full of jade. It was the second wife of Yan Family, Zhang Shi. Zhang Family were also merchants, and they had a cooperative relationship with Yan Family. As of now, Madam Fang was the steward of the house, and many of First Madam's concubines were stewards of the shop, thus they were very good at talking about business. In terms of Yan Family, many people would only follow the lead of the house, while the second house was no exception.

Second Madam knew that First Madam did not like his stepson. A few years ago, the child had left a letter saying that he wanted to go out and play. After that, he had disappeared without a trace and was nowhere to be found. He did not know how much money the Old Master had spent to find the child.

Later on, the Lady Wan sent her two young sons to the courtyard of the old lady. The old lady watched her grandson grow up day by day, and although her heart was slightly calmer, she would occasionally think of his eldest grandson and occasionally shed a few tears.

He had thought that the child had gone missing, but who would have thought that the child would suddenly return a few days ago. He did not know what he had been doing for the past few years, but his skin had become tanned and his hands were rough.

His stepson had returned home, but the one who was the most unhappy was First Madam. Furthermore, his son had grown up, and was at the age where they could discuss marriage. They still need First Madam's help to look at the girl, who knows how depressed First Madam is! If he could stir things up and get Miss Tian, who came from the countryside, to his big brother, the First Madam would definitely give him many benefits …

Even if she doesn't succeed, First Madam will probably remember her own good points.

Second Madam didn't make a sound after she successfully started the conversation, she only looked at the young man with a smile.

On the other side, a young daughter-in-law pulled the young grass around her and said, "That's a good idea." If not for the fact that big brother took a fancy to her, I would even want to hire a girl for my little brother. " With just that one sentence, she had ordered She Miao and her big brother — — which was also Yan Zheng, to have a secret that could not be told. Otherwise, why would they just invite Miss Tian in? It was said that a distant cousin of the village also came to speak to the men in the outer court. That was a married woman, and definitely not a friend of the young man. The young man came to the door alone, which was worth pondering over.

When the others heard this, they looked at the seedlings with a layer of undisguised fastidiousness.

She Miao laughed coldly in her heart, but pretended to be bashful on the surface. She scolded, "My daughter only has the appearance of a willow tree, how could she be worthy of your family?" Eldest Young Master naturally has an even better marriage waiting for him. As for me, I will just follow father's wishes and get together with my fiancé, who is a child's relative. "

Everyone was slightly surprised.

"They're engaged?"

He Miao nodded and explained with a smile, "The wedding date is set after this year's harvest."

"In that case, I have to congratulate you." Everyone laughed and congratulated him. Second Madam looked embarrassed, and followed suit.

The old lady slanted her eyes at the second wife, but her face was full of affection as she looked at the seedlings: "It's rare to hear of such a joyous event. My wife is also joining in on the fun." "Cui Er, go and get the ebony box on my treasure pavilion."

Behind him, a tall servant girl dressed in green replied and turned around, heading towards the back hall.

Not long later, the maidservant brought out a two feet long, palm-sized red box, which was carved out of ebony and painted red. She then respectfully handed it to the old lady.

The box opened in the hands of the old man as a bright light flashed, causing the eyes of everyone in the hall to narrow slightly. However, they couldn't help but open their eyes in an attempt to take a closer look. With this look, many of the wives became jealous. Even the old wives were moved. The girls couldn't help but laugh as they said, "The old lady is the wealthiest." "Grandmother has a lot of good stuff!" "When I go out tomorrow, I also need good stuff from the old lady."

The Old Granny laughed and scolded, "A bunch of mischievous people. How can you be missing out?"

The girls gathered around the old lady, making fun of her, but none of them asked for her. Only one or two people would occasionally look at him with gazes full of envy.

Second Madam's mouth was agape, being stared at by the Old Granny scared her so much that she did not dare say anything. She obediently lowered her head, slowly smoothing the creases on her clothes, then quietly raised her eyes to First Madam.

First Madam did not even glance at him. He sat straight in his position like a Buddha, with a decent smile on his face, but no one knew what he was thinking.

The old lady beckoned to She Miao, "Here, pick the one you like. It's a make-up I gave you, old woman. If anyone asks in the future, just say that it was me who gave it to you, and no one will ever dare to bully you. " After all, on the surface, She Miao's identity was that of a peasant girl. If someone dared to covet the things she gave them, they would report their Yan Family's name, and most likely, the villagers would not dare to be rash. This could also be considered to be secretly protecting the seedlings.

She Miao felt extremely grateful in her heart. She was someone she had just met, it was already a rare feat for the old man to be willing to help her to such an extent. But —

"The item is too valuable, this little girl has to be ashamed of herself." She Miao was very generous. She first thanked the old lady for her good intentions, and then she refused to accept her offer.

"This child!" You're still being polite to the old woman! Could it be that you're looking down on this old woman? " Old Lady Yan intentionally made a face. The little granddaughter who was sitting at the side walked up and looked inside the box. She picked up a golden hairpin with several gems embedded in it, and then picked up a pair of heavy gold bracelet with gems embedded on it. She left the position and walked over to the seedlings with a smile.

"Big Sister Tian is not looking down on Grandmother. She's just fooling around. I don't care which one she looks at, but she has no way of making a move!"

She Miao paused for a moment, smiling as she received the bow, respectfully kowtowing to the old lady to express his gratitude.

Old Lady Yan happily nodded her granddaughter's head and jokingly scolded her, "You little rascal! "How do you know that your Big Sister Tian will definitely like it?"

Her granddaughter pouted and said with a smile, "Because I like shiny things! Sister Tian will definitely like it too! "

"Crap monkey!" I'll give you ten sets of gold and jewelry to wear right away! Let's see if you can walk away! "

The other girls also walked up to her, trying to please her.

Old Lady Yan smiled at her granddaughters, then remembered that she was gone. She picked out two more pairs of pearl flowers, two more hairpins, and a gold ring with earrings. She made a set of eighteen gold pieces and made Cui'er put them back into the box for the seedlings.
