Shao family has a daughter

Chapter 9
Shao Tongyun was reluctant, but still smiled and handed it over, "Second Sister, just watch."

Xianhui put it in the palm of her hand and took a closer look.

Seeing, watching, he started to put it on his wrist, and the bright red beads took advantage of his fair skin, like a bright red plum blooming in the snow.She raised her head and said with a smile: "Sister San, this coral bracelet is really beautiful. How about lending it to me for a few days? I'll return it to you in a few days."

Shao Tongyun's face suddenly changed, he hesitated to speak.

Shen Shi kept staring at this side, seeing that the little daughter asked for something, she couldn't help scolding: "Xianhui, what are you doing? Hurry up and put down the things and come back to me."

Minghui hurried over to pull people away, and smiled apologetically, "Xianhui is young and ignorant, we have been used to her since she was a child, so don't pay attention to her."

"I just borrowed it for a few days to play, and it's not that I won't pay it back." Xianhui's voice brought out grievances.

Shao Tongyun calmed down and said softly: "Second sister, it's not that I'm stingy and reluctant, but this red coral bracelet was given to me by the princess of Dajun, so I can't lend it to others easily. Or... I will find another bracelet later, no need Borrow, only as a gift to you."

"Send it to me?" Xianhui's eyes lit up immediately, and she shook off her sister's hand, no matter how embarrassed her sister was, she just stepped forward and said loudly: "I don't want that bracelet or anything, if you want to give it, I will give it to you Is this gold walking yoke on my head? I usually only hear people say it’s a walking yoke, but I haven’t worn it yet.”

Shao Tongyun originally just wanted to find a random bracelet to get rid of her, but she didn't expect that she would only buy expensive things.The golden step rock inlaid with three-color gemstones on my head, the pendants on my ears, and the ring on my hand, that is a complete set, - borrow?She borrowed it, who knows when to pay it back?In case of loss or damage, wouldn't this set of jewelry be incomplete?She, she is too thick-skinned.

Xian Hui stared at her and asked, "Third Sister, are you going back on your word again?"

Shen Shi couldn't bear it anymore, and scolded: "Minghui! Why don't you drag your sister back soon? Don't you think it's embarrassing? If you have something, you have it, if you don't have it, you won't wear it!"

Minghui stepped forward to tug on her younger sister, and said anxiously: "Go, follow me back."

Xian Hui refused to leave, and said aggrievedly: "I was thinking... It's almost, almost the Chinese New Year, if a guest comes, I won't be able to meet people decently. I..." The voice brought out a crying voice, "I Don't be laughed at."

Shao Jingye also came over, "Be obedient, go back quickly."

Xianhui's eyes turned red, and she choked up with sobs, "Why do the three younger sisters wear gold step rocks, but I can't?" With a willful and ignorant tone, "Brother, buy it for me."

Shao Jingye knew it was not good for his sister, but he felt sorry for her, so he softened his tone, "Okay, I will buy it for you when I make money later, don't cry." He even wiped her tears, "Be obedient."

Shao Yuanheng's face was a little uneasy.

With the father still alive, how could it be the son's turn to earn money to buy things for the daughter?Looking left and right, comparing the people in the two rooms, the Rong's mother and daughter are all dressed up in beautiful clothes, and their heads are full of emerald jewels, while the Shen's side does look a bit shabby.

Seeing Shen's anger burning again, Rong's face was smug again, worried that the scene would be embarrassing if the two sides quarreled, so he called Xianhui and said: "Okay, okay, don't cry. Don't you just want some jewelry? Dad has someone call you, make more calls, and you won't be laughed at."

Xianhui removed the handkerchief that was stained with green onion juice, "Really? Daddy, you won't lie to me?" When his father nodded, he burst into tears and smiled, "Father, you are the best for me." Flattering, "I was confused just now, just thinking about my brother, why did I forget that you are the richest man?"

"What rich man?" Shao Yuanheng was amused by her, shook his head and smiled, "You girl."

Shameless!Shao Tongyun spat hard in his heart.

Where does Xianhui have time to watch over her?He just pestered his father, and said: "Father, it's not good to just make jewelry for me, a junior, right? Why don't you spend more and make a piece for your grandmother, mother, sister and sister-in-law. "

Shen yelled again, "Xianhui! Stop talking."

Shao Yuanheng was startled when he heard this.

It is reasonable to say that it is reasonable to make jewelry for daughters, but it is only to add dowry to them, Mrs. Chen... It seems that it is not very useful now, so what is it to make jewelry for daughter-in-law?But Haikou has already boasted, and it would be too embarrassing to take it back.

Not to mention, the second daughter also spared her mother,--you can't be filial to your mother, right?
Shao's mother looked at the scene a little coldly, and hurriedly said: "Yuan Heng, Mrs. Shen and the children have suffered too much these years. Didn't you say that you need to make up for it? I think Xianhui's idea is very good. Yes, for the big festival, you should wear some jewelry and dress up to give you some face, as for my old lady, I don’t need it.”

"Mother, let's see what you said." Shao Yuanheng is a well-rounded businessman, he reacted very quickly, and it only took a moment for him to be lost in thought. He immediately smiled and said: "Can I be reluctant to spend money on you for your mother? Who is missing, I can't miss my mother." He looked at the Rong's mother and daughter, "It's Chinese New Year, you and Tong Yun will add a few more."

Both Rong Shi and Shao Tongyun were unhappy.

Xianhui said sweetly: "Thank you, dad."

——That's how things were decided.

Xianhui rushed to flatter her, and brought a bowl of tea in person, and hurriedly said, "Father, but I don't know what kind of jewelry should be made? Or... I'll go to Mrs. Rong and the third sister to have a look later. , see what their jewelry looks like, and then ask someone to beat it accordingly, so that there will be no mistakes." Blinking a pair of big eyes, "When the time comes, I will fight exactly the same as the third sister, do you think it is okay?"

Shao Yuanheng smiled and said, "Okay, you both fight the same."

Shao Tongyun's face turned pale with anger.

He was so angry that he wanted to smash things, this... what kind of scoundrels are these?Not only did she have the cheek to pester her father for something, but she also called her mother, her sister, and her sister-in-law!Even, she wants to wear the same jewelry as herself, bah... who wants to be the same as her?She deserves it too!

Just as he was about to speak, Rong Shi pulled him back and gave him a wink, so he could only hold back his anger.

"Okay, okay." Shao Yuanheng waved his hands, "Sit down." Just wanting to quickly end the scene in front of him, the two wives and children get together, and it feels uncomfortable to be caught in the middle, so he told the girl, "Hurry up Hot soup and hot dishes."

Rong shi sat down with an embarrassed smile.

My heart is so angry that my liver hurts, that little girl is so greedy and greedy!It doesn't count if I asked for something by myself, but I even pulled a lot of people!The old lady, Mrs. Shen, two maids, and a country wife, add up to five female relatives. Everyone needs to wear jewelry. How much money will it cost?
But the husband has already agreed, and if he refute it, he will lose face.

——You can't lose the big because of the small.

After the welcome banquet, the people in the two rooms went back to their houses.

Regardless of the liver and stomach pain at Rong's side, as soon as Shen came in, he asked his son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter to go back first, then closed the door, and scolded with a serious face: "Xianhui! You are so nonsense."

"mother……"

With a look of resentment, Shen pointed at her little daughter, "If I hadn't been in front of outsiders today, I would have wanted to teach you a lesson on the spot. You said you...how could you even ignore your face just to get some jewelry?" , humbly went to ask your father for something? You have lost all our faces."

Ming Hui also complained: "You, this time you are really messing around."

Xian Hui said, "I didn't mess around."

"you have not?"

"Yes." Xianhui replied with a firm gaze, "I just want to take advantage of this moment, when my father feels the most guilty towards us, to strive for more things."

Shen laughed angrily, "Just for a few hairpins?"

"How many? Of course not!" Xianhui sneered, "If the Rong family has it, mother must have it! If Shao Tongyun has it, I must have it just like my sister! There are also sister-in-law and grandmother, sister-in-law can't be worse than Shao Tongyun, grandmother It can’t be worse than Rong’s.”

As soon as she said this, both Shen Shi and Minghui were stunned.

Exactly the same as the mother and daughter of the Rong family?There are five pieces of jewelry in total, two of which cannot be less than Rong's, and three of which cannot be less than Shao Tongyun's, so...how much jewelry?Definitely not a small amount.

Minghui couldn't help but click her tongue, "This...the Rong family will definitely not obey."

"I don't care, Dad has already agreed anyway." Xian Hui raised her delicate and beautiful chin, mocking lightly, "When he bleeds profusely later on, don't blame me for asking too much, but blame... blame Rong Shi for being too good at subsidizing himself. tall."

Shen shook her head, as if she still didn't agree with this.

"Mother." Xianhui looked at her mother seriously, "Even if I don't care about my face for the sake of my integrity, my sister and I will always get married in the future, right? Our dowry should be richer, isn't it good? If the girl's family has a rich dowry, food and clothing You don’t rely on your in-law’s family at all, so you won’t be tortured by others! When you are in a hurry, if you need money, you can exchange it for silver.”

Shen's face was finally moved, and she couldn't say any more words to refute.

Xianhui let out a long breath of depression.

In the previous life, the people in this room didn't want much, did they get anything good?He looked very shabby when he went out, and was ridiculed by others as a bumpkin from the countryside, and his sister was so ashamed that she never wanted to go out again.

When my sister got married, in the dowry... there were not many decent jewelry at all.

Brother-in-law Song Wenting can't earn much money, and he can't even afford to hire a girl. When the elder sister returns to her natal family, the little nephew can only be left to the mother-in-law to watch.Just think about it, if the family had a little spare money and asked a girl to help Mrs. Song look after her little nephew, how could... such a human tragedy happen?Ruined the entire Song family.

And myself, if I hadn't been living too poorly at home, how could I have been coaxed by Shao Tongyun for a rare palace-made silk flower, so that I ended up ruining my reputation?Therefore, the girl's family should be well-raised, and the one who should fight...you have to use all means to fight!
Early the next morning, Xianhui led the girl out, "Go to the west courtyard."

Shao Mansion is divided into West Court and East Court.

The west courtyard is an old house, with three entrances and three exits, and a small garden behind it.

Later, because his father's business was getting bigger and bigger, and Shao Jingyu was not young and was about to start a family, he bought a piece of land nearby and built an east courtyard with four entrances and four exits.According to Rong's idea, when Shao Jingyu gets married, she will be allowed to stay in the west courtyard, and she and her father will move to the new east courtyard, but a roommate from Xianzhi Town came.

She considered it over and over again, and finally decided to give up the East Courtyard.

It's not that the Rong family is generous, but that although the East courtyard is large, it's too new, and it can't compare to the elaborate decoration in the West courtyard for many years.Moreover, the East Courtyard is big, so if you live in the East Courtyard, you have to live with the old lady, so it's better to let it out, not to mention the cleanliness, and you can still please your father.These thoughts, of course, were not said by Rong himself, but slowly guessed from listening to the gossip of the girls in the previous life, and pondering in private.

This life is the same as the previous life, the people in this house in Xianzhi Town still live in the east courtyard, and the Rong family's mother and son live in the west courtyard.

Passing through the corner gate, the west courtyard is already a bustling scene.

At this time, the Rong family was busy arranging the day's trivial matters, talking to the mothers in charge, and Xian Hui specially picked this time to come.As soon as she entered the door, she saluted first with a smile, "Greetings to Mrs. Rong." She had a good voice, clear and crisp, "I came here today to see what Mrs. Rong's jewelry looks like."

The mothers and maids inside and outside the house held their breaths.

In the hall, Rong Shi wore a rose-purple embroidered makeup gown, surrounded by a group of children, sitting in the center with pink face and prestige, holding a small gold-plated hand stove in his hand.Hearing this, he raised his eyebrows and glanced at her, his gaze was quite sharp, "Why bother? I'll just let someone beat you later."

The implication is that he politely refused to agree.

——The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Xianhui knew that things would not go well, not to mention Rong Shi's reluctance to part with the money, just because she was beaten in the hands of a little girl of her own, this tone...she definitely couldn't swallow it.

Therefore, today I must make things difficult for myself.

Hearing what she said it was finished, she asked with a smile: "Mrs. Rong, what you mean is that you want to match the best jewelry for us? Is that so?"

Rong raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "Yes."

"Then why are you embarrassed?" Xianhui said with a smile: "It's not easy for Dad to brave the wind and snow outside to earn some money. We have to save some money for him, and we can't just buy expensive ones. Good jewelry needs to be bought. Ordinary ones are also beaten, things don't depend on high or low, it only depends on Dad's affection for us."

Rong Shi pursed her lips and sneered inwardly, let's see what tricks you can come up with!
Xianhui rubbed her hands together, "It's so cold." She simply sat down beside her and said to the girl, "It was very windy and snowy along the way, and it was chilly. Go and bring a bowl of hot almond tea."

A posture of not rushing away, intending to fill the stomach, and then have a long talk.

The girl was stunned, not daring to move without authorization.

Rong frowned and reprimanded: "Why don't you go soon?!"

The girl went quickly.

"Thank you, Mrs. Rong." Xianhui said with a talkative look on her face, "I think Mrs. Rong is afraid of expensive jewelry. I don't know, and I might accidentally touch it." She waved her hands again and again, "No, no , there are sisters in the room watching, I just take a look and remember, and I don’t even need to touch it.”

Rong's heart was full of anger, "I'm afraid the jewelry will be touched by you", and "I don't even need to touch it" - what kind of crooked words are these?Would it be possible to get another reputation for being stingy and stingy after spending money on him?I have never seen such an annoying girl!

Xianhui looked out, "Where's the almond tea? Why hasn't it been served yet?"

Waiting for the little girl to bring the almond tea, it seemed too hot, she blew on it in small sips, drank it slowly, and raised her head and smiled at Rong Shi: "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and I can't burn my mouth."

Rong's eyes were like knives, and he sneered.

Snowflakes were flying outside the door, and the cold wind was blowing. Several mothers were standing on the porch waiting to answer, rubbing their hands and stomping their feet, looking inside from time to time, with anxious expressions in their eyes——I have something to wait to answer. , still cold.

Rong endured it for a while, and finally couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Xianhui, I'm still busy here..."

"That's fine." Xianhui hurriedly answered, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Rong, you are busy with your work, don't worry about me, just ask a sister to show me the jewelry."

Seeing that she was so recalcitrant, Mrs. Rong became more and more angry.

"Ma'am." Ruan's mother persuaded, "You are still busy, how can you have time to chat with the second young lady? Why don't you let someone take her to have a look, to see and see, and then turn around... carefully make some jewelry."

It means that the jewels on the jewelry are smaller, the gold is less, and the silver is saved by cutting a few less.

——There is no need to waste words here.

Rong Shi rubbed her chest. After all, she couldn't just fork the person out, and if she didn't send him away, how could the mothers in charge come in and answer?The Chinese New Year is coming soon, there are so many things to do with people, and I really don't have the time to chat with a girl, so I let out a cold snort.

Ruan's mother has served the mistress for many years, knowing that she can't lose face, so she can only pretend to be a presumptuous person, and ordered: "Why don't you be busy first, Ma'am, I will send the second young lady there, and I will come back later."

Rong waved his hand and said annoyedly, "Go."

"Thank you, Mrs. Rong." Xian Hui thanked her, and finally got up and left.

When the people walked away, Rong spat fiercely, "Uncultured! He is from the country after all." He took a few sips of hot tea and calmed down, "Everyone from outside comes in."

On the other side, Xian Hui had already walked to the Chaoshou verandah, so naturally she couldn't hear Rong's swearing.Besides, even if she heard about it, she wouldn't take it seriously.Anyway, scolding a few words will not lose a piece of meat, and if you get something, that is the benefit that falls in your pocket.

Ruan's mother led the way, "Second Miss, go this way."

Soon after arriving at the main room, Xian Hui recalled the shock in her heart when she first came here in her previous life.

At that time, I was watching in the yard, that is, there were more rockery and more trees, thinking that the people living in the west courtyard had lived for a long time, which is not uncommon.But after entering the main room, starting from the exquisite embroidery on the curtain at the door, to the smooth mirror-like floor tiles in the outer hall, and the splendid and continuous embroidered blankets in the inner room, there is a sense of wealth and luxury everywhere.

The crystal bead curtains hanging one after another seem to be free of money.
