The Ning family decided to adopt the adoption of the sixth family of the Ning family, which was a kind of affirmation of the Chen family, and it was no wonder that Aunt Chen cried with joy.
When he sent off Aunt Chen's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, He muttered, "I don't know if the Chen family will go to pay my birthday to Mr. Hu."
He Zijin smiled, "What's the point of whether to go or not? Just go. Mr. Hu's birthday party is very lively, so you may not be able to sit in the same place."
Mrs. He said, "Who are there many people?" The He family has a limited circle. Even when attending banquets on weekdays, they are mostly similar to those of the He family. It is considered to be a lot of people who have prepared three or five tables, and they are familiar with relatives and friends, so they are free. Even if the two families of He Xin and Chen have set up dozens of tables. Mrs. He has seen it before, but the Hu family is an official family, which is different from these two mansions. It is the first time that He has dealt with an official family in his life, and he feels a little nervous.
He Zijin smiled, "It's not a matter of too many people. I heard Mr. Xue say before that whenever there are banquets in a wealthy family, they must make arrangements for the guests in advance. My grandmother's family sells salt to do business, and my father is a scholar with fame. What's the same? Naturally, we have to sit together."
Mrs. He nodded, "That's true."
Shen came in and said, "Zi Jin, go and have a look. Mrs. Zhou bought the duck. Is it what you want?"
He Zijin went out to see the ducks, and Old Madam He said to Shen, "I want me to tell you that duck eggs are so fishy that they are not as delicious as eggs."
Shen smiled, "I say that too. These eggs are amazing. The smaller the egg, the better the taste. They are like duck eggs and goose eggs. Although they are big, they are not as good as eggs."
"Don't spoil her too much. It's just past Double Ninth Festival. The oil and water in her stomach have not been digested yet. Why did she buy ducks for her money?" said Mrs. He. "Although she has earned a few, it's not easy. It's better to buy land with serious money. Some production every year is a long-term business."
Shen took a cup of tea to Mrs. He and said, "I was about to discuss it with my mother. I originally wanted to buy Zijin. But I thought that she was getting older and she had to buy a dowry in slowly. It would be complete after a few years. Otherwise, she would be in a hurry and not be able to say anything, and she would not like her wishes." Ordinary families would not save dowry, but they just bought some of them before they could buy some of them. The family was better, and they would buy some of them. Now that He Zijin had obtained this bet of money, Shen was thinking about saving dowry for his daughter.
When Mrs. He thought about it, she understood what Shen meant and nodded, "That's true. Our girl has this ability and the money she earns herself, so she should prepare some dowry."
Shen laughed, "Yes."
As the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking, the second grandma Chen also served Aunt Chen and returned home. She continued to serve her mother-in-law diligently after lunch before returning to her room to rest.
As soon as Grandma Chen returned to the house, she asked, "What are your brothers doing?"
Chen Erniu laughed quietly, "What can I do? Such a small baby, I'll have to eat and sleep. I just ate and fell asleep. Mom, please whisper." Hearing the maids in to serve Grandma Chen, wash her face and comb her hair, remove the heavy gold and silver on her head, and change into homely clothes. Grandma Chen Erli went to the compartment to see the sleeping twin sons, and Fang went back to her room to talk to her eldest daughter, "Okay, I'm back, you go and have a rest too." The daughter grew older, and she saw that the family members of the in-laws were stopped, and Grandma Chen taught her some family affairs, which she could use in her in-laws' house in the future. Because she had been hoping that Fang would give birth to a pair of twin sons, Grandma Chen loved him like a treasure, and she couldn't leave her for a moment. Today, she went to the He family with her mother-in-law, so she asked her eldest daughter to watch for a while, for fear that the nanny's mother-in-law would not be able to do her best.
Chen Erniu looked at this time and asked, "Did you come back after dinner, or did you not come back after dinner?"
"I used it together in your grandmother's house." Grandma Chen sighed, "I think your grandmother is really angry. In the past, we just didn't have much face in front of your grandmother. When your grandmother passed by, they were still very good."
"Why, my grandmother even looked at her face?"
"That's not, it's just that the closeness and distantness can be seen at a glance." Grandma Chen sighed again.
"Look at my mother's sigh." Chen Erniu took tea from her maid and gave it to her mother, laughing, "There is also my grandmother. How big is it, I'm so unyielding. The aunt is not going to chant Buddha's name, what else should I do? I only remember the bad things in our family and the good things in those years. I don't say that it's far away, just talk about the nearest things. If it weren't for my grandmother, Zijin would come to our family to study?"
Grandma Chen frowned, "Where is this? Shut up. Once you say this, you still have three parts of kindness, and you have to say it to you. Your uncle and grandmother are elders, and it's not your turn to say it. If someone else hears this, it's time to say you have no rules. It's just Zijin, it's not good to say that you don't have any words in your mouth. If you say this behind your back, wouldn't it be disappointing to tell her?"
Grandma Chen relaxed and said, "The elder's affairs are the elder's affairs. You just do it but don't know. You younger generations should just go back and forth as usual." Grandma Chen felt that He Zijin was still very capable of planting such precious flowers.
"She is so smart, how could she say that our family is not good? But look, her flowers were sold for a large price and only bought things for Mr. Xue." Chen Erniu raised two curved eyebrows and said, "She knew that our two families were not good. If we bought things for our sisters, wouldn't it cost in vain to spend money? Mr. Xue is different. Although he taught knowledge in our family, he was not from our family, but only hired by our family for money. So she bypassed our sisters and went to take care of Mr. Xue. What troubles would she have in the future in learning? If she asked Mr. Xue, she would only look at the things she gave a few days ago, Mr. Xue would have to teach her. I had known that she was extremely smart, but I didn't know that she was so snobbish."
"What good thing, I asked, it's just a pen for Mr. Xue." Grandma Chen asked helplessly, "Are you still missing that?"
"I'm not bad, I just think about it and feel disappointed. When she was in our house, I gave her so many things, and I don't know how many snacks I brought from our house. She didn't have a piano player, so the piano was still given to her from my uncle's musical instrument store." Chen Erniu picked up a piece of rouge red candied fruit and put it in her mouth, "She's home is far away from our house, so she naturally faded with me. I want to interact with her, but I'm afraid that I'm interested and she's not interested."
Grandma Chen took a sip of tea, "Stop saying these sour words. The relatives are just a fool. What's wrong with you? It wasn't like this in the past."
"I just feel heartbroken." Chen Erniu said.
"I'll be honest, you didn't have a brother at the beginning, and I was worried. I gave Zijin a piano. I wanted to get a guise from your cousin to see if there was a way to have a son. Now that you have your brothers, don't say a guise, even if I ask me to give a hundred guise, I'm happy." Grandma Chen sighed, "You, Zijin has been studying in our house for two years, and you have taken care of her. Isn't that great? What are you thinking about now?
What a matter of not having snacks, I told you to take care of her at the beginning, but eating some snacks is worth it. This time she came back from the prefecture and brought things to Mr. Xue was a friendship between teachers and students. She didn't give you anything, but you sisters are the same. If others give them all and don't give them, it wouldn't be too late to say these words. You only see that our family is good to my uncle and his wife's house. How can you know that when our family is in trouble, my uncle and wife's house have helped us."
"Although our family is rich now, a hero and three gangs cannot be lost. Otherwise, our family will be far better than that of the uncle and wife's family. What are your grandmother, your uncle and father going to do one after another?" said Grandma Chen, "She is far away, you are closer. You are now enjoying everyone's ladies. What will happen in twenty years?"
Chen Erniu was dissatisfied, "Why, my mother thinks that I will not be able to do it in twenty years? Is it worse than Zijin?"
Grandma Chen helped her daughter hold a small bead hairpin that was inserted diagonally between her temples and said, "You are my own daughter, I hope you are better than the world. But in this world, there is no one outside of people, there is a sky beyond the world. When our family was poor, who would have thought that our family would have today? Let me tell you, you are not stupid either. Zijin has the ability to raise flowers and make grass. She has so much money in a year, and her marriage is not bad. I am a son of no age. I want to have it, and I am really happy to marry her."
"Where are you, except for your sister Daniu. I'm following your grandmother's meaning, Daniu's marriage will be decided before the New Year. Although she is the eldest granddaughter, her temperament is no longer as likable than you in front of your grandfather and grandmother. You are smarter than her, and your marriage is faster." Grandma Chen said, and Chen Erniu's face turned red with shame.
"What's so shameful about this? I'll tell you something to understand sooner or later." Grandma Chen looked at her daughter's shy appearance and felt extremely loving. She smiled and said earnestly, "Now you are old, marriage is a matter of time. But even if you become a relative, you have to remember to be more friendly with others, don't be more evil with others. Take Zijin as an example, why don't you make friends with her? In the future, this is my cousin's cousin, the best one to plant chrysanthemums. Isn't it nice to hear? You have to learn to look at people, these promising people,
Who has no temper? Those who have no temper are cowards, and I still look down on them. People have the ability to do so, and you are the best lady at home. You have my father at home, and everything is up to you. You can't do this outside. You have to be smart when you should be smart, and you are confused when you should be confused. Like Zijin, she has not clearly separated from you. You are not the fool of a big girl. You are kind to her first, and I have a friendship with your cousin first. No one else says anything. You are far away from yourself first. Are you stupid?"
Chen Erniu lowered her head and said nothing to her mother.
Grandma Chen smiled, "Okay, I know you understand in your heart, but you can't stand the sand in your eyes."
Chen Erniu smiled embarrassedly, "I don't have as much clarity as you think."
"You are still young. I am far inferior to you at your age. You are a person who reads and reads, and you will definitely be better than me in the future." Grandma Chen asked, "Your new dress will be delivered tomorrow. I'll give it a try. It's a good idea. If there is something that doesn't suit you, please ask the Xiufang to change it immediately. This is what you have to wear when you go to Mr. Hu's birthday party next month, so you can't be careless."
Chen Erniu smiled, "I know. Didn't my mother say that she would give me new jewelry, and when would she deliver it?"
"That was taken to the State Prefecture shop. It must be a little slower. Don't worry, I will definitely be sent to my house by the end of the month." Grandma Chen looked at her daughter's delicate face and asked with a smile, "Is the rouge I brought back from the State Prefecture before easy to use?"
"It's better, it's better than before, and it's very moist."
"This is the best rouge paste in Furongfang. The ones in it are all precious. Even though the rouge shop in our county also says that there is pearl powder in its own rouge, that's a fool. Not to mention pearl powder, it's good to mix some lard. This is different. I heard that when I go to the Governor's wife, they use her rouge powder." said Mrs. Chen, "Then a small box costs ten taels of silver, which can be used for a year for small families. If you think it's good, just use this."
Chen Erniu responded with a smile and went back to her room to rest.
The eldest maid Bai Papa came with the quilt on the bed and said softly, "Miss has been busy all morning and is also slightly tilted on the couch."
Grandma Chen sighed, "You girls..." She said only halfway and stopped talking.
Parrots had always been trusted by Grandma Chen's second grandma and smiled and advised, "Grandma just keeps being relieved, but I feel that there is a saying that Miss He said is very correct."
"What's the matter?"
"Miss He is the one who sells flowers at the chrysanthemum fight. Our girl is the one who bids for flowers."
Grandma Chen smiled unconsciously, "Yes." Her daughter saw that He Zijin was in a big show and was a little angry. However, if there was anything he wanted to fight, He Zijin was just aware of the flowers. Even if she sold it for hundreds of taels of silver, these small money that was not in the eyes of the Chen family.
"Our girl has always been transparent, and my wife can understand it with a little bit of a push." She took off her brocade boots for Grandma Chen, covered her with an aromatherapy brocade quilt, and took a pair of beauty fists from the white parrot. She sat on the couch and gently beat her legs for Grandma Chen.
Grandma Chen suddenly said, "Erniu is getting older and there are more things to learn in the future. Huangliu is not as steady as you, so why not go to Erniu to serve him and advise her more on weekdays. She is young and is just when she is angry."
The beauty fist in the white parrot paused slightly and said softly, "I was conditioned by my wife. Wherever my wife asked me to go, I would go."
Grandma Chen closed her eyes with satisfaction and gradually fell asleep.
