The brocade box was held by Xiao Xue with both hands, Luo Jinyan signaled, and Xiao Han reached out to open it with a smile.
"No need."
Qin Jue's deep voice sounded next to him, Xiao Han's hand stopped in mid-air, and he quickly retracted and stood beside Xiao Xue.
Luo Jinyan smiled on her lips and saluted Qin Ye again, but Qin Jue's stop didn't seem to surprise her.
Qin Jue lowered his voice and explained to her: "I have seen this wooden box, and it is my mother's dowry. ” trousseau The woman's dowry is her own, and her in-laws cannot use it at will without permission.
When a woman dies, if she has no children, the dowry shall be returned to her mother's family, and if she has children, the children shall inherit it.
It stands to reason that Ye's dowry was to be handed over to Qin Jue, but Qin Ye gave it to Luo Jinyan, if it was just jewelry, but if there was anything else, then this matter would be very strange, Qin Jue would not let it be opened in public, I think this is the reason.
In her previous life, Luo Jinyan had never seen Qin Mu, and when she entered the palace, Qin Mu had already paid tribute.
Qin Mu should only be one or two years younger than Qin Ye, but he looks much older, because he often frowns, there is a deep Sichuan character between his eyebrows, even if he smiles, that Sichuan character is still there, and it looks very weird.
The second lady of the Qin family, Wu, is in charge of the back house of the long house, but it is said that she has been sick for a long time, and the affairs of the back house are managed by the third wife, she is wearing a begonia red silk gown, her hair is combed bare, and she has two red gold hairpins inlaid with emeralds, she has a fair complexion, willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, she should be a beauty when she is young, but it is a pity that there is a pickiness in the eyes of people, which makes her look mean, and she lacks the grace and generosity that a famous lady should have.
On the contrary, the third wife is rich, she is thirty-seven or eighteen years old, with a round face, beautiful eyebrows and eyes, holding a round bun, inserting a mutton fat hosta and jade Buddha distraction, her body is a jade pigment face makeup gown, and she wears a string of small leaf red sandalwood Buddha beads on her left hand.
The third master of the long house is still in office, and the third wife stays in the capital with a pair of children.
Luo Jinyan has seen the third wife, Xiaoding and Da regularly come to Luo's house are her and the fourth wife, and she is still the mother of Qin Jia and Qin Yu.
The fourth wife, Ning, has just passed the year of Huaxin, her appearance is pretty, and there are two small pear vortices when she laughs, she loves to laugh very much, sitting next to Qin Jiong, the fourth master of the Qin family, smiling skillfully and lotus, very pleasing.
The three uncles in the long room were all rewarded with red seals, and the third master's share was given by the third wife.
The second lady's is a pair of jasper bracelets and two beaded flowers, the third wife's is a set of pearl heads, and the fourth wife's is a red gold and gold phoenix hairpin, which is heavy, about ten or two weights.
In this way, the second lady Wu's meeting gift was shabby.
The pair of bracelets she gave had a good head, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that the pair of bracelets on the wrists of Chang Gui's daughter-in-law, who was next to Luo Jinyan, was not inferior to this.
The Wu family is the patriarch of the Qin family, and she is the highest among the concubines, even if the female dependents of the Qin family are not from famous families, they are also scholars, although they all pretend not to see it, but the discerning people know in their hearts that unless this pair of bracelets is handed down by the ancestors of the Qin family, the Wu family's face will be lost.
If it was really something from the ancestors, the Wu family would say it when he took it out, and besides, the jewelry left by the old lady of the long house was afraid that it was in Qin Jue's hands, and it would not be the turn of the Wu family.
Qin Mu's face was gloomy, he thought that the Wu family had been a clan wife for so many years, and such a trivial matter as rewarding the new daughter-in-law could be done beautifully no matter what, but he didn't expect it to be such a small family, so he simply went to the side hall with Qin Ye and sat down, Qin Ji saw it, and also went out together.
The three masters of the long room all went out, and the atmosphere in the flower hall suddenly became lively, Qin Jue took Luo Jinyan to the elders in the second, third, fourth, and fifth rooms, and led her to meet the relatives in Tongzhou.
At this time, the third lady of the second room, Zuo, said to the Wu family with a smile: "Second sister-in-law, you are Yuzhang's aunt, although gold is priceless and jade is priceless, but you can also give a better one." ” The Wu family is half dead, the Zuo family just became a lady last year, the Zuo family is also from Jinling, and the Jinling Lu family is a cousin, Qin Mu had a daughter of the Lu family to discuss marriage, that Lu is the cousin of the Zuo family, and now in the capital, the two families have close contacts.
Usually Zuo's is in the way of the elderly, and he is polite to her, what is this going to do today, she can't help but think of the bracelet of tourmaline and honey wax stone that Zuo gave Luo Jinyan, each of which is the size of lotus seed rice, which is not unusual, it is rare that each one is the same size, and it is carved into different flowers, which is extremely exquisite.
These people have discussed it and looked at her jokes, otherwise how could Ning's take out a golden hairpin of ten taels in a good manner, she asked the girl to inquire in advance, and the meeting gift that Ning prepared for the new daughter-in-law was a hairpin inlaid with rubies, at most only two or two, and the ruby was the size of a grain of rice.
The hairpin of two taels became ten taels, and Roche was not afraid of pressing his neck when he wore it on his head.
Zuo's voice was not small when he spoke, and half of the people in the flower hall looked at Wu, and Wu smiled and said: "Our little thing is just our heart, our grandmother has a rich dowry, how can you care about this" The rich dowry of others is someone else's, and it is your own face that you lose when you are an aunt.
What's more, the eldest grandmother of the Qin family's room has entered the door, you are in charge of the back house of the long house, but people are in charge of Mingyuan Hall, do you want to fight with your nephew and daughter-in-law or accept the pair of cards when you see it There are too many relatives of the Qin family, so they recognized it and had dinner in Houde Building, and it was already the second watch when they returned to Mingyuan Hall.
Xia Zhi took the two little girls to register the gifts received today, Luo Jinyan was about to freshen up, and Qin Jue strode in.
"It's a pity, if you're not sleepy, I'll take you to the garden for a walk."
I don't know how many times I knelt and kowtowed today, Luo Jinyan has long had a sore back and legs, besides, it's getting late, what is there to see in the garden.
"No, let's go back tomorrow from Poplar Hutong."
She said.
Qin Jue agreed with a smile, but a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
But he soon saw the tiredness on Luo Jinyan's face, and remembered that she had been socializing with her relatives at home today, and she must have been very tired.
He sat down next to Luo Jinyan, suddenly lifted her skirt and lifted her legs.
Luo Jinyan was defenseless, and before he could call out when he opened his mouth wide, he had already put her foot on his knee.
"What are you doing" Luo Jinyan quickly glanced at the maids in the room, and saw that the maids were surprised, but soon blushed, and they all lowered their heads and pretended not to see it Although I played a play yesterday, I woke up in the morning and the bedding was packed by the maids, so I must know that they didn't really have a round house.
This is the second shift, I'm going to have a meal, and there will be another shift in the evening t1706231537:
