Chapter 96: Future Blessings
She was actually thinking about the betrothal gift Song Yu gave her, which was a very expensive set of ruby jewelry. People from her hometown would be coming to attend her wedding banquet in a few days, and An Ruofei didn't have any jewelry that she could afford.
Give that set of ruby jewelry to An Ruofei to support the scene.
He also said that many elders would come by then, not only her second uncle from her hometown, but also her brother, sister-in-law, and niece from her natal family, so that she could prepare a meeting gift.
Even the meeting gift has been designated, which is the box of jade pendants included in the betrothal gift.
He has a really big appetite, and he’s really brave!
The betrothal gift sent by Song Yu was generous, so she was not surprised that the people in the An family would be greedy, but with the intimidation of the Duke Dingguo, no one dared to reach out, not even Aunt Tang.
This old lady is really powerful. As soon as she opened her mouth, she wanted to take away the ruby tiara and the box of valuable jade pendants, which were the most outstanding items in the betrothal gift.
I don’t know where she got the courage to speak, and I don’t know where she got the confidence. She thought that as long as she opened her mouth, she would obediently offer the things to her. She had been here for a long time, and the old lady really thought that she was going to get wind or rain.
ah.
Facing the old lady's natural instructions, the others were also stunned. Who had not thought about the generous betrothal gift, but no one dared to speak. Now the old lady took the lead. If An Ruoyu agreed,
So can they also...
But it's a pity that under everyone's expectant eyes and the old lady's confident smile, An Ruoyu smiled faintly and then refused unceremoniously.
"Grandma, please forgive my granddaughter for not being able to obey."
Looking at the frozen smile on the wrinkled face and the wide-open eyes in disbelief, An Ruoyu said unhurriedly: "That set of ruby jewelry is one of the most precious things in the betrothal gift. I am absolutely
It is impossible for me to give my own betrothal gift to the fifth sister. If the fifth sister wants to betroth the fifth brother-in-law in the future, she can just ask."
Seeing An Ruofei's expression change from joy to shame and anger, An Ruoyu continued with satisfaction: "Besides, that set of ruby jewelry was specially found by Ding Guogong and wanted me to wear it when we got married, even though it is not mine.
It is absolutely impossible to give the betrothal gift to others."
Such an unkind refusal made the old lady turn green and white, and she wanted to yell angrily, but An Ruoyu didn't give her a chance to speak, "As for that box of jade pendants, it's also worth a lot of money. I don't know anyone from my hometown."
I know them, and they don’t know me either. I will prepare the meeting gifts as appropriate, but they are not worthy of those jade pendants. Those jade pendants were specially collected by Duke Ding and asked me to give them to Duke Ding’s mansion on the first day after we got married.
It is absolutely impossible to give them away to those juniors."
Looking at the people in the room whose expressions changed, An Ruoyu's eyes were full of sarcasm. They were all greedy people. "As for other things in the betrothal gift, I won't give a single copper to others. How could Ding Guogong pay so much in the first place?"
I will carry it back in the future and give it to others with the betrothal gifts sent by Dingguo Gongfu. How will I explain when I marry to Dingguo Gongfu in the future? I can’t afford to lose this face. Even if I want to come to Anfu, I can’t afford to lose this face.
My father cannot afford to lose his face."
Looking at the old lady who was trembling with anger and the beads in her hand started to shake, An Ruoyu struck another blow, "Grandma has never been exposed to this before. She doesn't know the rules of the houses of these powerful people in the capital. I don't think she understands.
My granddaughter doesn’t blame you.”
KO!
The last sentence was a crushing blow to the old lady. She was so angry that she almost rolled her eyes and stopped eating. The maid and woman beside her were so frightened that they hurriedly gave her some relief.
The old lady was so angry that her hands and feet were trembling, and it took her a long time to recover. Although the Zhao family was now the ancestor of the An family, she was supported by the entire An family and served by countless maids and women. It looked like that
Noble, but in fact, her natal family is just a poorer family than the average farm family, and she was born in poverty.
She was able to marry into the An family, which was still a merchant's family at that time, only because her father was a scholar, but unfortunately, he was no longer a scholar in this life, and he was still a poor scholar who had a good meal but never finished a meal.
Although she is proud of her status as the daughter of a scholar and her natal family, she also feels inferior because she is only the daughter of a scholar, not a daughter of a scholar, let alone the daughter of a sergeant.
After marrying into the An family, due to the gap between her living environment and status, Ms. Zhao was often laughed at and looked down upon by others. She was laughed at for being poor and even for being a brat with little knowledge. Even her servants secretly looked down on her.
Apart from marrying into the An family and living a prosperous life, her status as the scholar's daughter seemed to have brought her no other advantages.
Moreover, because her family was poor, she had to help her mother with housework and take care of her younger siblings, so she had no time to read and read. Her father also bitterly believed that a woman’s lack of talent was a virtue, so although she was the daughter of a scholar, she could only read and write.
, it should be said that literary talent has nothing to do with her, which also led to the fact that when she married into the An family, her husband did not like her much.
However, the old lady is a blessed person. Although her husband is not happy with her low background, she has two upbeat sons. The eldest son, An Hong, passed the imperial examination and reached the position of the fifth-rank Shaoqing of Honglu Temple.
, she is also an official in the capital, and she is regarded as a proud ancestor, which makes her an old lady in the official family.
Although the younger son has no talent in studying, he is a good hand in business. The family business is booming in his hands. In addition, An Hong, the elder brother who is an official, is protecting him. Today's An family is no longer the same.
Speak.
Even though Mr. An didn't like how cold-hearted his wife Zhao was, he didn't treat her too badly for the sake of his two capable sons. Later, he died of an illness, and the aunt and concubine who were left behind were also treated.
After they were separated, the entire An family fell into the hands of mother and son.
The two An Hong brothers are filial sons. The old lady has become more and more noble in the An family over the years. The injustice and ridicule she suffered in the early years has long been a thing of the past. Looking back at those who were about her age and looked down on her.
No woman's life is as good as hers, and she even needs to fawn over her. The old lady has been praised too highly in these years, and her heart has long been wandering.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! I didn’t expect to encounter such a big problem with An Ruoyu today. The old lady who had been rejected and had been the only one for so many years was very angry.
,
What she said later hit the spot, hitting the point that the old lady cared about the most. What she hated and cared about the most was someone saying that she was from a low background and had little knowledge. Her self-esteem was simply the most serious blow.
My wife was so angry that she almost carried it away.
Seeing that the old lady was so angry, An Ruoyu also worried for a moment and regretted that she shouldn't have said it so bluntly. It would have been the end of her anger if she died.
But then I saw that the old lady was still quite strong, and she almost carried it but only just barely. After she recovered, he cursed at her. The words were so ugly and vicious that they reminded her of those scolding shrews in the village.
Sure enough, no matter how noble the old lady is and how smooth her life is these years, some things will still be imprinted in her bones even after a long time. She herself never knows when they will come out and expose the things she wants to hide the most.
.
Seeing that the old lady was in good spirits and could still curse, An Ruoyu felt relieved, and turned around and left without staying to listen to her spitting shit.
"Is it okay for Miss to just leave like this?"
After leaving the old lady's yard, Ah Zao was a little worried when he heard the angry voice of the old lady behind her. The old lady seemed very angry, "This will bring bad reputation to you, Miss."
"What's wrong? Azao, you just worry too much. The old lady is trying to figure out my betrothal gift. If I don't have a temper, next time I won't want more than just the ruby headdress and the box of jade pendants."
Seeing Ah Zao's worried look, An Ruoyu sneered, "Believe it or not, if I can be more talkative today, others will be able to use various excuses to clear out my betrothal gift tomorrow."
She glanced disdainfully at the noisy yard behind her, twitching her nose with disdain in her eyes, and wanted to rely on the old man to sell her things and pick her things, dreaming! She is the poor man!
"No way?" Ah Zao said with some uncertainty. It was a betrothal gift sent by the Duke of Guo, and they dared to covet it. "I won't let them do this."
"Humph!" An Ruoyu shook his head and smiled, and said without saying a word: "Believe it or not, the person who covets my betrothal gift the most is my father, but he knows that it is the betrothal gift from Dingguo Duke's mansion, so he cannot speak, but
It will be different if I take the initiative to give it to them. When the time comes, the Dingguo Duke’s blame will be passed on to me. When the Dingguo Palace is dissatisfied, it will only be dissatisfied with me and has nothing to do with them." This girl can still see it.
Too few people don't understand that some people are really shameless when they are shameless, and there is absolutely no lower limit.
But there is one thing that really needs to be noted. You really can't be too angry with this old lady. If something happens, her marriage will have to be completed. The word "filial piety" is overwhelming!
An Ruoyu sighed depressedly, did God know that she had done evil to others, so he arranged for her to have a grandmother who behaved like this?
Back at Tinglan Garden, Azao told everyone what happened in the old lady's yard. Several people's faces were not very good-looking. They didn't expect that the old lady was so careless. Who among the powerful people in the capital would do this?
The betrothal gift given to the girl in the family is really ridiculous.
"Okay, okay, don't droop your face. It's me who is being plotted. Why are you showing such an expression?" An Ruoyu couldn't help laughing as she looked at the people who were fighting for her.
.
"Don't worry, I'm not particularly angry. Although they are my relatives, after all, I have only known them for more than two months. I don't have much feelings for them. Although I am a little sad that they are so calculating.
, but it doesn’t make me too sad, maybe I’m just not related.”
An Ruoyu lazily fell down on the soft couch and swayed his arms. An Ruoyu said boredly: "I am the most heartless person. Unhappy people can forget these unhappy things soon. In life,
It’s too short. I prefer to remember happy things. You don’t have to worry about me. I turn around and throw these things behind my mind. Let’s think about what to eat for lunch today. Can you tell me what you want to eat?
"
If you get angry with those people, you might as well have a big meal. In this world, you can only live up to the delicious food and beautiful scenery.
It's just that An Ruoyu didn't expect that she would forget about such an unhappy thing. Even the old lady and Wang had to hold it in even though they were unhappy and couldn't do anything to her. However, Nanny Feng stood up and accused her.
She is unfilial!
Looking at Nanny Feng, who had a straight face and cold eyes, asking her to stretch out her hand to punish her by 30 rulers and asking her to go and apologize later, An Ruoyu also turned cold towards her for the first time.
Come.
Although he knew that Aunt Feng might have been bribed by the Wang family to be extra strict with her, and although he was here to teach her, the emphasis was on teaching An Ruofei, but seeing that Aunt Feng was not too evil, she also taught her
He has given her a lot of things, so he has always respected her.
After all, although he is strict, he is really teaching her. Even if he is stricter, it doesn't matter. It is better for her. After all, strict teachers make good disciples.
But what happened today made An Ruoyu completely lose patience with her. What she needs is a nanny who can teach her, not a nun who tells her what she does. The ancients said that slaves are big.
If you deceive the Lord, you really are sincere and don’t deceive me.
She is just an old nun who came from the palace. I really thought she was someone. In this era, there is never a shortage of people like her. It is not impossible to replace her with someone else, and she is not an irreplaceable important person.
After thinking about this, An Ruoyu suddenly smiled softly when facing Aunt Feng, bowed slightly and saluted, "Thank you for the teachings of Aunt Feng these days, but I have learned almost enough, so I don't want to delay you too much."
Mom, I will report back to my mother tomorrow and ask her to prepare a generous gift to send you home."
"Miss Fourth, what do you mean?"
At first, Grandma Feng was quite proud, but after hearing this, her face gradually turned black. She was trying to drive her away!
Nanny Feng, who had always been treated as a guest, was naturally very angry when she encountered such a situation for the first time. However, others were polite to her because of the skills she learned in the palace and because she was born under the Emperor.
In the palace of the Queen Mother.,
But in the final analysis, she was just a servant. The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager were gone. She had scruples if a servant was willing to be polite to her, but there was nothing she could do if she was not willing to be polite to her.
What's more, An Ruoyu was the future Duke Dingguo's wife. Let alone drive her away, even if he killed her, the Emperor Dingguo's palace was there. How could the emperor do anything to Duke Dingguo's wife for the sake of a maid?
"Mother Feng can go home and reunite with her family tomorrow. Isn't Grandma Feng happy?"
