But even so, the direct descendant is still unforgiving and suppresses everyone. Not only a few days ago, Xu Xin was injured again. As a grandmother, she cannot be partial and can only scold a few words, but she is really
Feeling distressed.
"Grandma, it's okay. We, the younger generation, should come more often to honor you."
Xu Xin talks sweetly and seems sincere.
But when she got up to serve Mrs. Xu tea, she exposed her furred cuffs.
The old lady frowned, clicked her tongue lightly, and directly grabbed her wrist and pulled her over.
"Tsk, you've been wearing these clothes for several years and they're already old."
Xu Xin, however, retracted her hand in embarrassment, "Grandma, it's okay. I'm usually at home, so wouldn't it be a waste if I wear too good clothes?"
But the old lady frowned fiercely, pretending to be angry, "How can you say that! What a waste!"
As if she thought of something, the old lady suggested again, "Why don't the third son of the Li family hold a spring banquet in a few days? Grandma will take you to buy some new clothes and this jewelry, and also buy a few sets!"
The old lady was holding Xu Xin's wrist just now. It was bare and didn't have a bracelet or anything. She didn't look like a rich lady.
Xu Xin pretended to be embarrassed and lowered his head.
"Why are you unhappy?"
Generally speaking, the younger generation should be happy if the elders send them jewelry, but she looked embarrassed.
"No……"
Xu Xin bit her lower lip and spoke slowly, "Xin'er is just a prostitute. If she is too arrogant, she will inevitably attract gossip..."
She didn't make it clear in her words, but the old lady felt like she had a clear mind.
When the old lady was a girl at home, she was also a legitimate child. Her mother was really unenlightened towards girls who were born as a common daughter.
She said that those born from concubines are slaves, and they are meant to serve the girls who are born from concubines.
Now the old lady can understand Xu Xin's situation. Her father doesn't love her, and her mother is too docile and won't fight for it. If she hadn't been helping her, and with her kitten-like temper, the servants in this family might have pointed her out.
What kind of bullying.
The old lady slapped her thigh fiercely, with a hint of anger in her brows, "Who would dare without me! Don't be afraid, grandma will take you to buy it tomorrow. Not only do we want to buy it, we also want to buy it well!"
That night when Xu's father came home, he saw Xu's mother waiting in front of his yard beside the old lady. She seemed to have something to ask for.
In ancient deep houses, women had to report to their mistress when they went out. Xu's father never renewed his marriage, so he had no mistress and could only report to the head of the family.
When he heard that the old lady was going to take Xu Xin, Xu's father thought for a while and said, "Take the eldest sister with you and buy things for the two children together."
Xu's mother understood in her heart, nodded in agreement, and then left.
After breakfast on the second day, Xu Xin went to the old lady's house. She was wearing a pink floral dress, pretty and tender. She called her grandmother sweetly and helped her to the front hall.
The two of them waited for about a cup of tea before they saw Xu Yu walking slowly in a long scarlet dress.
"grandmother."
Xu Yu's voice was calm and indifferent. There was no wave in his eyes, and no emotion could be seen.
Mrs. Xu has always had a grudge against this legitimate girl. She lost her mother just after she was born. Mrs. Xu also thought that if she grew up beside her, she would be a legitimate daughter and she would be able to be a beautiful lady.
But Xu Yu's temperament is exactly the same as her mother's, she is smelly and stubborn, and her heart is like an unfamiliar stone. As time goes by, Mrs. Xu hates her more and more. She has a sweet mouth, can talk, and is obedient.
The more Xu Xin watched it, the more she liked it.
The groom had already hitched the carriage and was waiting at the door. When he saw the three people coming out, he immediately took out the horse stool and put it on the side.
The old lady was old and had bad legs and feet. Xu Xin supported her and helped her up, then turned around and stretched out her hand to Xu Yu who was standing.
"Sister, can I help you up?"
Xu Yu glanced at her lightly, without saying anything, she lifted up her skirt and stepped onto the carriage, making the bead curtain on the carriage rattle.
On the carriage, Xu Xin first suggested that he should go to the Shijia's defense department to have a look. After all, his family made the largest ones and had many styles of cloths.
But the old lady shook her head, "No, the Shi family is only interested in doing things and has bad conduct. It's better to go to the Li family. I still have some friendship with the Li family."
The carriage obeyed the order and went straight to the Li family's cloth shop.
It's spring now, and many new fabrics have been put on the line. They are hanging on the walls in batches, making it dazzling to see.
The old lady is old and has seen a lot of the world, so she chooses some grand colors. Although the patterns are not novel, they are quite satisfactory and the clothes are dignified.
Xu Xin usually likes pink colors the most, but this time she chose bright crimson.
This made Xu Yu on the side a little confused about what color to choose.
She looked at it casually and picked a dark purple color.
Generally speaking, in ancient times, married women would wear dark green and deep purple colors to show their status. As a girl who has not yet left the court, she would inevitably look old-fashioned wearing this color.
The old lady glanced at the cloth she had chosen and said nothing, but her expression was not good-looking. She was indeed a motherless child, and she couldn't even choose the cloth well without anyone to help her.
"I also selected a few pieces of cloth. You two can look at them and divide them."
The old lady asked the waiter to take out some pieces of cloth that she had selected.
Xu Xin took it happily, "Thank you, grandma."
The next step is to choose the style of clothing that is currently in use.
The old lady had sharp eyes and directly selected a few slim-fitting styles of clothes, "Xin'er, these are suitable for you."
Xu Xin has a slim figure, and if she wears a long skirt, her legs will appear even shorter. The waists chosen by the old lady are decorated, which directly elongates her figure and corrects the shortcomings of Xu Xin's figure.
Xu Yu didn't have much interest, so she picked an ordinary style of clothes with no characteristics.
When Mrs. Xu saw it, she almost rolled her eyes in anger. Was this what it looked like a few years ago?
After choosing the style of clothes, it was time for the waiter to measure the two girls. Seeing that things were almost done, Mrs. Xu went to the backyard to catch up with Boss Li.
The waiter first measured Xu Yu's size. At this moment, two women approached the door. One was beautiful and elegant, while the other was gentle and lovely.
Xu Yu and Xu Xin were in the side hall, partially covered by a curtain. Su Yuanyuan and Yichun didn't notice them at all.
A sly glint flashed in Xu Xin's eyes, pretending to be pitiful, "Sister, don't blame me, right? This cloth has been stolen from my sister, this style of clothes has been stolen from my sister, and even the men... have also been stolen from my sister."
A smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and when she looked at Xu Yu, she was full of pride, but she still looked like her usual docile and well-behaved self.
