It is difficult for the farmer's sister

Chapter 609

Mrs. Peng brought Peng Yin first, followed by Mrs. Feng and Feng Yuehua, some family members of the patrol team, and female relatives of the aristocratic family. Finally, Mrs. Liu, her pro-daughter Liu Jiali and concubine Liu Jiayu came late.

When Su Rui saw that everyone was here, she didn't say hello, and said straight to the point, ""Meng Liang Lu" records: "A common saying goes: 'Burning incense, ordering tea, hanging pictures, arranging flowers, all other idle things should not tire the family. "As for my wife, I don't like burning incense and painting. The time to order tea is too urgent. Next time I buy a good tea, I will invite you to taste it. So today, I invite you ladies to arrange flowers for entertainment, okay?"

Mrs. Feng echoed with a smile, "Isn't it a good time for flower arrangement now that the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant? But, Mrs. Meng, are we just ordinary flower arrangements?"

On the day she received the invitation, Mrs. Feng asked the head of the family, why did Mrs. Meng want to entertain so many wives and ladies out of nowhere?Basically, people with family backgrounds in Zhoucheng basically invited them, which made her feel a little uneasy.

Mr. Feng was also heartbroken, but he believed in General Meng's character, so he told Mrs. Meng that she just cooperates when she speaks, and don't ask why she did so.

Su Rui glanced at Mrs. Feng who was answering the conversation, smiled kindly at her, and continued, "A happy gathering is definitely not an ordinary flower arrangement. I think if it was an ordinary flower arrangement, the ladies would definitely be more modest , without showing real strength."

After a pause, he pretended to think and continued, "Well, how about this? I'm organizing a flower arrangement banquet, so I'll be the one to win the prize."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Xi'er and said, "Xi'er, bring me the white jade and pearl hair crown I ordered some time ago."

Mrs. Liu heard that there was going to be a flower arrangement competition, so she was quite confident in her daughter's flower arrangement, and when she saw the hair crown brought by the girl, she was sure to win it. She had seen good things before. The white jade hair crown in front of her eyes Although it is made of broken jade, the pearls dotted on it are the best things. If you buy it, it will cost at least seven or eighty taels.

Mrs. Liu can see the value of the hair crown, so other ladies can also see it, especially the ladies of the aristocratic family. They have seen good things since they were young. When they saw the hair crown, they all turned their heads and said to the girls beside them. must work hard.

Among them, the few people who satirized Su Wan were the most, especially Liu Jiayu. She squeezed the handkerchief tightly and looked at the white jade and pearl hair crown in front of her, the pearl and silver bell tassel on Su Wan's dress, and the scarf on her hair. The pearl headdress, her eyes are red, pearls, she has lived for more than ten years, and she has never worn pearls, why does this mud-legged family have them?Why does this person who lives under the fence have it all over his head and body?Why are there so many of them that they can be given away?

Mrs. Peng was speechless. Last month, she gave a hairpin inlaid with only one small pearl to her natal family and her niece. The pearl color on the pearl hairpin she bought back then was much better. She really didn't dare to guess how much it would cost to buy the white jade pearl hair crown in front of her.

"Mrs. Meng, isn't this too expensive to be a lottery?"

Mrs. Peng kindly persuaded her, because she was afraid that Mrs. Meng would give away such expensive jewelry for free without knowing the situation.

Su Rui heard the meaning of Mrs. Peng's words. Seeing that everyone present turned their heads to look at her nervously after hearing the words, she smiled. She comforted Mrs. Peng and said, "It's not very expensive. The white jade on it is mine. The leftovers of custom-made jewelry are worthless, and I also buy pearls in bulk. The good ones are used to make jewelry and clothes for my sisters, and the rest are not particularly good, so they are not very expensive, just the style It looks good, it’s just a fresh picture.”

Everyone was silent when they heard the words. The good things they thought were not valuable things in Mrs. Meng's eyes, especially some people who usually talk behind their backs. The clothes are covered with gems and pearls, and the fabric of the clothes is much better than theirs. They all lowered their heads in shame. Things that they can't usually touch are new things in the eyes of Mrs. Meng, so how do they usually do it? Do you have the face to laugh at Mrs. Meng and sisters as mud legs?
Su Rui saw that most of the people were silent, and showed a shameful expression. The corners of her mouth curled up. This is what she wanted. So what if she came from the village?Those who come from the village have more money than your so-called daughters from aristocratic families, so you can buy whatever you want!
It's not that she hasn't inquired before, those so-called aristocratic daughters don't have much dowry, and the most are only 5000 taels, and of the 5000 taels, some of them need to buy land, houses, furniture and other items, only a quarter of them One, even one-fifth of the silver coin is for jewelry.

Therefore, even if they have a certain amount of income every year, they don’t dare to spend a lot of money on new jewelry. They wear it repeatedly and wait for it to get old before refurbishing it. of.

Where can I have an annual income of tens of thousands, endless jewelry, and endless clothes?
It's just a set of not-so-valuable jewelry that can make them stunned. Su Rui lowered her head and touched the gemstone ring on her hand, curling her lips in disdain.

"Things are ready, ladies and gentlemen, go to the garden to get ready?"

It's up to the owner, Su Rui said so, even if someone had something in their mind, they would smile and let their young lady go to the garden together.

The ladies sat down on their seats with this novelty in mind, and then Mother Liu stood in front of the table and said with a smile, "All the flowers, ladies, you can use whatever you want, and if you don't have enough, you can ask the girls for more, and put them all in." After that, the girl will bring it to the front hall, and the wives will vote for No.1."

After speaking, she stood on the side, and the ladies in the seat, except for the three sisters Su Ying, looked at each other in blank dismay, not daring to do it. In the end, it was Liu Jiayu who took the lead in picking flowers, gesticulating and thinking disdainfully, it was just flower arrangement, What's there to be afraid of?

Su Wan usually likes to arrange flowers at home. The flowers in the garden at home basically have to be replaced every two months, otherwise all the flowers left will be bald branches.

Although Su Ying and Su Qiao haven't done much flower arrangement, they can often receive flowers from Su Wan, and they also have their own taste, and the flowers they insert are also suitable in shades, which are very good.

In the front hall, the waiting ladies were chatting, at this time the wife of the Cui family said.

"Mrs. Meng, I heard that Mrs. Feng and Mrs. Liu can also bring their children when the royal family hunts in Yuncheng in autumn?"

"Yes."

Su Rui raised her eyebrows slightly, her smile didn't hit her eyes, she sneered in her heart, I heard?Who did you listen to?

Meng Mingzhou said that Mr. Liu is a low-key person, so it must not be him showing off. Since it is not her, then it must be spread among the women. Among the wives present, who likes to attend the banquet the most?Isn't it the embarrassing Mrs. Liu?
