Lord Shang Shu is easy to bend down

Chapter 239 Persuasion
"This is what a servant girl should do. It's not right for Madam to say that." Mother Liu felt warm in her heart. Madam looked headstrong, but her heart was also kind.

Mrs. Kong smiled, holding tea and looking out the window, "I knew that I married the master, so that I can be as self-willed as when I was a girl in my boudoir, and my mother-in-law is not around these years, so life is easier. But the old lady is old, and the two sons are not around, so they will be brought back sooner or later."

The problem between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been a difficult problem since ancient times.

Mother Liu persuaded, "Now that I have a young master, the old lady also knows that she has been wronged a few years ago, otherwise she would not hide back to her hometown. Even if she comes back in the future, she will not embarrass her again."

What's more, the old lady is not an unreasonable person. Although she was born as a peasant woman, she is also a knowledgeable person.

Mother Liu dared not say this. When my wife married in, she always put on the airs of a lady. In front of her mother-in-law, which mother-in-law would like it?

Kong also didn't want to bring up these unpleasant things, "I'm going to Jiahou's Mansion in a few days to make clothes for Huijie and Yuanniang, and the fabric will come from my private storehouse."

"This year, the cloth sent by my mother's house includes several bolts of brocade, and the color is also tender. Madam should also make a suit. When you go out to be a guest, you always have to change into a new one."

Kong thought for a while and agreed.

In the next few days, the mansion also became busy. The shopkeeper of the garment shop outside came to take measurements. During this time, Mr. Kong also took his two daughters to the jewelry shop outside. The usual shop did not have any good jewelry. , a good place but so expensive that Kong couldn't afford it.

So after traveling for a day, I only had lunch outside, and then went back to the mansion.

Kong didn't say anything on his face, but his face was not good-looking.

This is not good for a family that has grown up in the middle of nowhere. It has no foundation, or a camel that starved to death is bigger than a horse, and a noble family has been passed down for a hundred years.

A few years ago, Kong didn't feel this way, but this year, the things sent by her mother's family are practical, but not gorgeous, and it is not enough to go out as a guest to save face.

Kong now regrets returning Yuan Niang's things because she wanted to save face, otherwise those things would be enough for turnover now.

Mother Liu came in from the outside, "Madam, Madam Ren is here."

Kong was in a bad mood, "What is she doing here again? See you, say I'm not well."

"Mrs. Ren got a few good pieces of jewelry. She thought that she might be able to use them when she was going out as a guest, so she sent them over in person." Mother Liu replied.

The expression on Kong's face froze, and then became ferocious again, "Okay, even a fifth-rank chief looks down on me, Xie Mansion."

Thinking of not being able to buy jewelry because of tight hands, now that Mrs. Ren is delivering it to your door, isn't it implying that she has no money to buy it?

Mother Liu knew it would be like this, "Madam calmed down, Madam Ren sent her forward like this, she just wanted Madam to take her to Jiahou's Mansion. The slaves have inquired about it. Mrs. Ren has not had the opportunity to get in touch with Guo's mansion these days, and she is probably planning to use the banquet in Jiahou's mansion to get in touch with Mrs. Guo."

Kong raised her brows, "She can be picky, but she also gave birth to a good son, which gave her such confidence."

Speaking of Young Master Ren, Mother Liu also praised, "Young Master Ren is young and promising, and among men of his generation, it is rare to be praised."

Kong frowned, "What's the use of having a low birth? By the time he spells something out, he'll be old."

"Mrs. Ren is thinking of this, so she wants to seek a high-ranking marriage for Mr. Ren."

Kong didn't know what he thought of, and turned his eyes, "You go and invite people in. The two masters work in the same yamen. I don't want to be too ugly. Since she begged again and again, I always want help."

Mother Liu didn't believe this, and she didn't know what Madam's plan was, but it was a good thing to be able to invite people in, at least it wouldn't be so ugly.

Mrs. Ren still came with her daughter this time. Mother Liu asked Manyun to send Miss Ren to Qingshanyuan. Xie Yuanniang was very happy to see Ren Zhenzhen coming, and she sat down and talked with her.

But Xie Yuanniang immediately realized something was wrong, and Ren Zhenzhen pulled off her sleeves in a panic to cover her bare wrists.

She smiled unnaturally, "What is sister Xie up to?"

Xie Yuanniang didn't want her to be embarrassed, so she looked back and said with a smile, "I will be a guest at Jiahou's mansion in two days. It's Mrs. Jia's birthday. My mother asked me to prepare a gift. I want to write a hundred birthday characters as a gift. I just finished writing it. If you didn't do it, you can help me see how it is."

The topic changed, and Ren Zhenzhen was not so restrained at first.

In the meantime, Xie Yuanniang used the excuse of being anxious, and went out to explain a few words in Han Xue's ear, and Han Xue left. Ren Zhenzhen was looking at the hundred-character birthday in the Nuan Pavilion, and from time to time she was startled and whispered, there are a hundred different birthday characters , It’s amazing to be able to write it, let alone write it so well.

Xie Yuanniang smiled and said that she likes it, and she will also give her a letter. Ren Zhenzhen happily said that she likes it. After a while, Lingmei came in from the outside and whispered a few words in Xie Yuanniang's ear. Naturally, Ren Zhenzhen would not inquire. , looking down at the calligraphy and painting.

After hearing this, Xie Yuanniang understood.

Just now she asked Hanxue to inquire about Mrs. Ren's coming here, but Hanxue came back and said that Mrs. Ren came to give jewelry, which looked very expensive and rare. It's strange that the gold bracelet she was wearing disappeared. After all, women have to dress up when they go out. I believe that Ren Zhenzhen has seen her wearing the gold bracelet these days. The Ren family is a small family, and there is nothing extra The jewelry can be changed, so I always wear one, which is why Xie Yuanniang is so impressed.

Not to mention not wearing it now, even the earrings are very common.

She didn't want to ask more about this matter, so she asked Hanxue to inquire about Mrs. Ren's situation out of luck, and it turned out that Mrs. Ren sent Jin Zhong jewelry to the news.

Thinking that Mrs. Ren spent a lot of money, the Dong Mansion was in a hurry. In order to get in touch with the Guo family, Mrs. Ren threw everything and went to the banquet this time.

Where did Ren Zhenzhen's jewelry go, she guessed it without asking, it must have been sold by Mrs. Ren.

Xie Yuanniang was powerless, life in the high courtyard was difficult, and life in the small family was also difficult.

Knowing what happened, Xie Yuanniang began to worry about it, and after seeing the calligraphy and painting, she asked Lingmei to go to the warehouse to take out the enamel jewelry.

"You just help me choose one and see which one is better to wear that day."

With this excuse, Xie Yuanniang was not afraid of Ren Zhenzhen's embarrassment, when the jewelry box was brought up and opened, the jewelry inside still amazed Ren Zhenzhen.
