The fourth lady took a small box from the girl's hand again, opened it in public, and inside was a pair of sideburns with red gold strung with mutton fat and jade beads, the sideburns were the size of a wine glass, and the jade beads still had impurities.She handed the small box to Ruoyi: "This is what the third sister-in-law asked me to bring here." ”This gift is a bit perfunctory, not as good as the fourth lady's intentions, but it can barely be handled.Ruoyi arrived in front of Cao Ningcheng and Mrs.
Cao Wu, Ruoyi sent tea, Cao Ningcheng took the tea, took a sip and put it on the coffee table next to him, and took out a red envelope to Ruoyi: "To be a husband and wife, and grow old." ”"Fifth Uncle Xie."
Ruoyi's words of thanks are sincere.After Mrs.
Cao Wu drank tea, she took a box from Lan Yue's hand and handed it to Ruoyi: "I'll wear this for you to play with." ”When Mrs.
Cao saw that Mrs.
Cao Wu did not open the box, she always felt that Mrs.
Cao Wu must have given something bad.Also, it was Cao Ji who wanted to marry this Su family girl at the beginning, and it was strange that the fifth brother and sister could like her.She wanted to take advantage of this incident to cut Ruoyi's face, and immediately said: "The meeting gift of the fifth brother and sister, how can we open our eyes" A trace of anxiety flashed in Mrs.
Cao's eyes, and she looked at Ruoyi as if she was asking for help, hoping that Ruoyi would refuse.She gave it a bit heavily.No, it should be said that she didn't expect the sisters-in-law's meeting gift to be so light, as soon as the box was opened, the three sisters-in-law would have no face.Ruo Yi hesitated, not wanting to open the box.Miss Cao San's mouth was quick: "Open it and let us see what treasure Aunt Fifth gave you." ”She deliberately accentuated the three words "baby".Ruoyi angrily opened the box in public.Miss Cao San regretted it after taking a look.Inside the box was a fist-sized red jade fire lily hairpin.Not to mention the warm jade, the shape of the lily is lifelike, the carving is exquisite, and the buds are blooming.The bend of the petal end is natural and each piece is different, tightly surrounding the stamen, and because the jade has a different color luster, it makes the whole lily look extraordinarily delicate."
Yes, a good thing."
Old lady Cao San said approvingly.Mrs.
Cao Wu knew that her matter had entered the eyes of the third old lady, and the gift was also revealed, and she did not hide it, and smiled gently at Ruoyi: "Fifth Aunt wishes you a hundred years of good union and eternal marriage." ”Ruoyi nodded seriously: "Thank you, Aunt Five." ”Mrs.
Cao's face couldn't help but stiffen, she thought that Mrs.
Cao's move was a stiff hint to her, and she didn't think about it.But in front of Old Lady Cao San, she didn't dare to say a word of complaint.The two cousins did not bring their wives into Beijing, and they both gave Ruoyi a red envelope.Cao Ji got up and saluted Ruoyi, and shouted respectfully: "Fifth sister-in-law." ”Ruo Yi smiled and took the small brocade box handed over by Aunt Liang and handed it to Cao Ji with both hands: "This is a small thing, the seventh brother can play with it." ”Cao Ji didn't take the small brocade box, but put his hands together, and asked with a shy face: "That, fifth sister-in-law, can I exchange this for your ink stone paperweight" This thing he saw in Ruoyi's hand when he followed his father to the general's mansion for the second time."
Brother Ji," Mrs.
Cao Wu was a little annoyed, how could she ask her sister-in-law for something like this.Ruoyi looked at Aunt Liang suspiciously, Moshi paperweight, what kind of play, is there this thing in her study Aunt Liang lowered her head and said in her ear embarrassedly: "It's the thing that the girl used to smash walnuts." ”"Used to" Cao Ji, who was standing closer, heard the word smashing walnuts, and almost blurted out the tyrannical thing.He dared not speak in anger, he knew that if he dared to say this, the inkstone paperweight would hit him on the head.He knew the status of this fifth sister-in-law in the General's Mansion and the Cao family, and he killed him properly."
Okay, let your brother bring it to you tomorrow."
Ruoyi is very generous, isn't it just a stone that smashes walnuts?
Of course, she took back the gift she gave to Cao Mo.This is a nine-layer jade Linglong snatched from Wu Feng's hands, I heard that Cao Mo likes these things, so he couldn't bear to cut his love and share one of them, and now he can use a stone to smash walnuts to save a jade Linglong, in the end, she earned it.The remaining Second and Third Cao girls had to get up and salute Ruoyi in front of the elders, but the voice was as small as a mosquito, and even the words "sister-in-law" were vague.Ruoyi didn't care, took the brocade box and opened it, and directly took out two pure gold bracelets and handed them to them.Miss Cao Er and Miss Cao San were dumbfounded when they saw the two gold bracelets.If you want, it's so ugly, there is not even a pattern on the bracelet, and it is estimated that even the nouveau riche on the street will not wear such a thick gold bracelet.No, this bracelet is brand new, it has eight points, and it can be made into two or three small pieces of jewelry when you take it back.The two Cao girls' faces turned red and blue, blue and white, and finally they took the bracelet with unhappiness.Ruoyi raised her eyebrows very proudly, hum, trying to block her, they were still tender.Mrs.
Cao Wu pinched a cold sweat, afraid that the two unconscious-stirring sticks of the Cao family would collide with Ruoyi, and she was also afraid that Ruoyi would make trouble regardless of it.Old lady Cao San coughed lightly, and after everyone was quiet, he said lightly: "From now on, we are all family." ”Speaking of this, he deliberately glanced at Mrs.
Cao.Mrs.
Cao was annoyed, but she had to nod aggrievedly.Old lady Cao San was full of smiles when she turned to Ruoyi, and said kindly: "Go, go to the flower hall with your aunt and sisters to sit for a while, and have a reunion dinner together in a while." ”Mrs.
Cao, Mrs.
Cao, Mrs.
Fourth, Mrs.
Five, and the two Miss Cao all got up to respond.Mrs.
Cao Wu also kindly pulled Ruo Yi to the flower hall: "Tell me, where have you been, what is there to play." ”"Yes."
Ruoyi suddenly remembered that the gift she had brought had not been delivered, no wonder she always felt that she had not done something.She turned around and said with a smile, "Third uncle, I brought gifts back for all of you." ”Qingyu brought the gift, she first took a small box and presented it to Mrs.
Cao San with both hands.Old lady Cao San opened it and glanced at it, and her eyes were straight.It's a pair of flowers the size of a woman's fist.The old lady Cao San took the walnuts in the palm of his hand and looked carefully, the two walnuts were the same size, the weight was equal, and even the pattern and texture on it were almost the same, the texture was hard, the lines were dense and clear, the shape was full and round, the texture was deep and clear and the texture was similar, the shape was beautiful, and it also showed a transparent color like red jade, which was really a century-old masterpiece that could not be encountered."
Okay, okay, this is really a good thing, it cost you a lot of money, go back and let Cao Mo make it up for you."
The old lady Cao San played with it in her hand and couldn't put it down.Ruo Yixin was straightforward and whispered: "It only cost fifty taels." ”Originally, people were going to give it to her, but she still forced the fifty taels into it.t1706231537:
