Chapter 473 Gifts
Thinking of this, Ye Xiwu's heart warmed slightly.

Although she has her husband to back her up, if she wants to live a prosperous and comfortable life in the Wei family in the future, this old Mrs. Jiang will be the first person to subdue her.

Even though this old lady is the Empress Dowager's cousin, her scheming and foresight are far inferior to the one in the palace.

Before marrying Mr. Wei, she was not favored at home.

After so many years of suffering, she has become the mistress of the Wei family. What she likes most is hearing people say good things to coax her.

That being the case, Ye Xiwu did what he liked: "The old lady comes from a famous family, has a noble status, and is a person who values ​​etiquette and rules. Jiuye is afraid that I will not do well, which will not only embarrass him, but also make the old lady unhappy. , so I came here specially. After what happened today, I know everything."

"Oh? What do you know?" The old lady looked at her and asked.

"I know why the Wei family is so prosperous. It's because of you, the head of the house, who always reminds the children to keep in mind how to make progress. I admire a woman like you. When I see you, I will do my best for you." You are convinced, and I respect you from the bottom of my heart." Ye Xiwu said, and called Jin Rui, "Bring me the gift I specially prepared for the old lady."

Mrs. Jiang has never heard such a straightforward and enthusiastic flattery in her life.

She was so happy from ear to ear that she said that she was a noble person and that she was impressed by you.

Hearing that there was a gift, he was even more elated: "Oh, did you prepare a gift for me?"

"Yes." Ye Xiwu signaled Jin Rui to present the box up.

Zhao Ma took it and opened the box to see that there was an old ginseng plant inside.

Mrs. Jiang knew at a glance that this wild ginseng was not short-lived and was worth a lot.

"Old madam, this is the thousand-year-old ginseng king dug out from the old forest in the east of the Guandong. It's the best way to nourish your body." Ye Xiwu explained.

She is well aware of the old lady's habits, she is afraid that she will die early, so she supplements herself with various supplements.

She likes ginseng the most, and often asks people to look for old wild ginseng.

Officials and wealthy families do not lack ginseng, but it is only a few taels of ginseng, and the growth time will not be too long.

A ginseng that was as thick as a radish in her hand was hard to find in the market, and the palace couldn't even pay a few gins a year.

The old lady was so excited that her eyes lit up: "Is this ginseng really thousands of years old?"

"A thousand years may be an exaggeration. There should be a hundred years. I hope the old lady will accept it."

The old lady refused, but she couldn't pull out the thing when she saw it: "How can this be good? You should keep such a precious thing to make up for yourself."

"I'm not going to be compensated, I'm not blessed to enjoy this good thing, I still have to give it to you, old lady. If you refuse to accept it, then you don't like the gift from your daughter-in-law." Ye Xiwu frowned deliberately, with a serious look on her face. lost.

"Okay, okay." The old lady accepted it immediately, "I'm letting you spend the money. If you don't have anything in your yard tomorrow, just send someone over and tell me."

Although Ye Xiwu didn't like this old lady, the road that should be paved must be paved.

A piece of ginseng is nothing to her. Her uncle is the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River and has no children under his knees. He treats her as his own daughter.

The dowry he prepared for her was somewhat thicker than that of ordinary officials and eunuchs.

Uncle specially left a letter, telling her to learn to manage the people around her, and the problems that can be solved with money and things are not problems.

In the future, if she wants to gain a firm foothold in the Wei Mansion, she will not only rely on her husband, but also rely on herself.

Take the old lady down first, and then she will be able to have the confidence to fight Xia Linlang who is about to pass the door.

The old lady was coaxed into joy, seeing Ye Xiwu more and more pleasing to the eye.

Originally, he wanted to stand up in front of her, but he didn't expect to be subdued by her.

Soon, the sisters-in-law in the yard arrived.

Mr. Wei has eleven children in total, of which the eldest, second, fifth, seventh and ninth are sons, and the others are daughters.

The boss is Wei Liang, who has a wife and two concubines in the house.

The wife is the eldest lady, and the son she gave birth to is Wei Chenyi, the eldest son and grandson of the Wei family.

The second child and the fifth child also each have a wife and a concubine, but the seventh child has only had one wife and no concubines for so many years.

Today, these sisters-in-law all came over to see Ye Xiwu. On the surface, they were all amicable, and they exchanged pleasantries with their sister-in-law and younger siblings.

"Yo, old nine, our sisters-in-law are having a lot of fun, what are you doing here, a big man?" The fifth lady was straightforward, and when she saw Wei Heng not leaving, she smiled and pushed him away, "Your fifth brother is talking about you Well, go and see him quickly, he has recently become obsessed with archery, his accuracy is as bad as death."

It was not convenient for Wei Heng to join in the fun, so he went to look for the fifth brother, Wei An. Before leaving, he said to Ye Xiwu: "Xiao Qi, I'll go and see the fifth brother, and you can go back to Fengya hall by yourself."

"Xiao Qi?" Fifth Madam looked at Ye Xiwu.

"I'm the seventh in the family, so everyone calls me Xiao Qi." Ye Xiwu explained with a blushing face, this Wei Heng is real, and suddenly came up with the question "What is Xiao Qi here for?"

"It's a young man after all, it's so nasty!" The second lady covered her mouth and laughed.

Wei Heng didn't care what these sisters-in-law said, turned and left.

After seeing Wei Heng gone, the eldest lady sneered and said: "Ninth younger brother, from now on, you should go back to your own room to call such nasty names. It seems too disrespectful and unruly in front of the old lady."

Ye Xiwu had a bad relationship with the eldest lady in her previous life. She is no longer her daughter-in-law, and she is still picking on her.

Presumably it must be because she slashed Wei Chenyi with a sword that day, divorced the engagement at the gate of the mansion, and made him lose face, which caused his reputation to be damaged now.

The eldest lady is his own mother, so she is naturally unhappy, so she wants to take advantage of the old lady who has a lot of things to clean her up.

Ye Xiwu figured out the crux of it all at once, and smiled calmly: "Sister-in-law, Master Jiu said this, you should go and tell him."

She didn't save face for the eldest lady, and she didn't want to make herself feel wronged.

She is now Wei Heng's official wife, not the concubine that everyone can step on.

Mrs. Jiang just received a big gift from Ye Xiwu, so she naturally wanted to speak for her.

In addition, she didn't like this daughter-in-law with a straight face and a wooden face, so she didn't show mercy at all when she said it: "Xi Wu is right, this is what Lao Jiu said. Yes, you go to Lao Jiu, why are you embarrassing her? Why are there so many rules? I didn't say anything, but you should make a fuss first."

The eldest lady was taken aback for a moment, she had no idea that the old lady would take pictures of the girl who had just entered the door.

Could it be that she forgot that this girl gave Chen Yi a sword?

Mrs. Jiang saw the astonishment on the eldest daughter-in-law's face, and ignored her: "Okay, I've paid my respects, let's go."

The old lady spoke, and everyone dispersed.

Ye Xiwu said goodbye to her sisters-in-law, and took Jin Rui back to Fengyatang.

Passing by the rockery in the garden of the mansion, she was tired from walking, and just about to go to the gazebo not far away to rest for a while, when she suddenly heard someone calling her.

"Xiaoqi, stay here."

When Ye Xiwu heard this familiar voice, her steps paused slightly, and then she quickened her pace and walked forward without turning her head.

"Xiaoqi! Wait, I have something to tell you."
