Reborn under the White Mountain

Chapter 197 Meeting Ceremony

When the new daughter-in-law came to visit her relatives, Mrs. Wu gave her a meeting gift, and the new daughter-in-law said a little embarrassedly: "Mother, don't worry, the daughter-in-law will take good care of your husband."

After seeing Mrs. Wu, it was time for Mrs. Fang and Bilian. The new daughter-in-law greeted Mrs. Fang and Mrs. Bilian first. Mrs. Fang took out a jade pendant and gave it to the new wife, "Sisters, I also It's nothing good, don't feel bad about it."

Bilian gave a set of black pearl head and face jewelry, "Mine are not too expensive, brothers and sisters, you can keep them."

Fang Xin watched from the side, "It's costing the two sisters, Xuehui, put it away."

The new daughter-in-law took the things, and then began to introduce the children in the house. The children all called the little aunt together, which made her face flushed.Each gave out a big red envelope, and the children all held the red envelopes, but none of them opened the red envelopes directly.Fang Xin dragged Xuehui to sit on the kang, and everyone chatted together.

Fang asked Chunmei to go and fetch the things she had brought with her. Chunmei went out for a trip and came back with a bundle.Fang took the burden and handed it to his new daughter-in-law, "Siblings, I don't have any good things. It's just a few skins that your brother-in-law took the children to hunt. It may not be enough to make clothes. I save some for scarves and warm hands." Something like that is also fine."

Xuehui took the burden, "Sister, look at you, you are so polite, I don't need anything." Fang Xin next to her opened the burden, and said, "Xue'er, you underestimated this burden. I What brother-in-law took out is not an ordinary thing. Oh, big sister, it’s sable fur, and there are so many. Xue’er, let me just say, big brother-in-law is a good hunter.”

Han Xuehui didn't really think much of it when she heard Fang's saying that it was the skin of her own prey.Unexpectedly, it turned out to be sable fur, which is an absolute rarity, a piece of sable fur costs at least a hundred and ten taels of silver, and it may not be possible to buy it if you have money.She didn't expect Fang to take several shots, but she was shocked. "Sister, this thing is too expensive, I dare not accept it."

"Look at you, how precious is it? Now we have sables at home. In our eyes, this thing is really out of reach. In a few years, when the family has more, we will make a cloak for my sister-in-law. What." Fang didn't pay much attention to the performance of the new daughter-in-law, she is the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion, so it's normal to be a little arrogant.No, what she said completely shocked Xuehui.

"My sister has a sable at home, isn't that wild? How can I keep it?" Xuehui looked at Fang with some surprise.

"My little sister doesn't know. There are many animals in the house, including black bears. It's nothing. They're all put in the mountains of my home, and I've made circles and fed them on time." Fang said to her younger brother with a smile. said the daughter-in-law.

Only then did Han Xuehui take a good look at the Fang family. Just now she saw that the Tong family were dressed in ordinary clothes, so she didn't take it seriously.Fang Xin told her this morning that Tong's family was just a farming family. Although she didn't look down on them, she didn't pay much attention to these people either.Unexpectedly, they actually have their own mountains, and she understands some decrees of the court, and the Tong family's family background is not small.I was wrong this time, people said that you can't judge people by their appearance, and I am even more superficial, even judging people by clothes, this time it is really embarrassing.Thinking of this, she couldn't help blushing, stood up and came to Fang, and gave a deep bow, "Sister, it's my sister-in-law who doesn't understand gold and jade, and despised my sister and brother-in-law's family, my sister-in-law is here to apologize. "She has a straightforward temperament, if she is really wrong, she hasten to apologize.

Fang quickly helped his sister-in-law up, "whatever the sister-in-law said, we are all a family, there is no need for this, we are just an ordinary farmer's family, nothing more."

Xuehui sat on the kang again, this time, she dared not despise these people anymore.

Mrs. Wu could see clearly from the side, knowing that the new daughter-in-law probably didn't think highly of the Tong family at all, so she couldn't help feeling angry.After thinking about it, today is a good day, but it is not appropriate to make trouble. "Yuxian, have you visited Tongrentang these few days? Didn't I hear you say that Tongrentang is going to release a new medicine? Have you delivered the prescription?"

Yu Xian was originally a smart person, and when she heard what her grandmother said, she understood, "Grandma, isn't this uncle's marriage, I haven't been there for a few days, I'm too busy, I really have to go and see. Shopkeeper Sun gave me this year's dividend last time. However, I still have a lot of snow clam oil in his place. Let’s go to Tongrentang to have a look. It’s something my grandma remembers.”

After listening to the conversation between the grandfather and grandson, Han Xuehui knew that Yuxian was a shareholder of Tongrentang.Now Tongrentang is known to everyone in the capital, and my family often buys medicine there.I heard that there are some dignitaries in Beijing who want to buy shares in Tong Ren Tang, but they don't accept anyone, even if they do it themselves, those people can't help it.What kind of gold card and silver card has been launched by Tongrentang, even some princes have gold cards, how can ordinary people dare to mess with it.Judging by Yuxian's appearance, she is only seven or eight years old, and it turned out to be the prescription given by her.It really shocked her too much today, Xuehui couldn't react now, and she was secretly vigilant in her heart. In the future, the two elder sisters of Fangxin should respect each other more, and I am afraid that neither of them is simple.

Seeing Xuehui's performance today, Fang Xin knew that Miss Qianjin had lost her temper again. It seems that she has to talk to her carefully when she goes back, and she really can't do this in the future. "I don't think it's too early, Xue'er, go to the kitchen and have a look, what have you prepared? Today we as a family have to get together and have a good time together."

Xuehui also understood that this was an opportunity for herself to show herself, so she said to Mrs. Wu, "Mom, I'll go to the kitchen and have a look, and then I'll make two small dishes. Let mother try my cooking today." After speaking, she got up off to the kitchen.

As soon as Xuehui went out, Fang Xin hurried to her mother, "Mother, I haven't had time to tell her about our family, mother, don't be angry." Of course, he could see that Wu Shi was a little unhappy.

"Hey, why are you happy or not? Now that you're married, forget about my worries. I'll go back with your sister and the others in a few days. I'm not used to staying in the capital. Besides, you newlyweds Yes, you don't feel comfortable when I'm here." Wu proposed to leave.

"Mother, you are angry. You see, your son just got married, and you go home. This is known to others. What should I say about my son? Live here and let my son be filial to you." Fang Xin He was next to his mother and hugged his mother's arm.

"You, you are already married, and you still act like a baby. I'm not angry. I'm really not used to living in Beijing. It's better in Xijiang Village. I live comfortably there. Now I have a girl to serve, and I can't help it." You don't need to worry about it, after a few years, Xuehui will give birth to a child, and I will come and take care of the child for you." Wu Shi looked at her son lovingly, and could do nothing about his coquettish behavior.

Yuxian looked at her grandmother and little uncle, and then thought about her little aunt's behavior just now, and felt that her grandmother was really a very good person.If this was placed on Qin Shi, it was guaranteed to explode just now, and the scene would be ugly.In fact, the behavior of the little aunt should be normal, her father is the Minister of the Ministry of household affairs, of course she is a little arrogant.In addition, my family did not wear particularly good clothes.Tong's family is just a farmer, and there is no chance to wear too good material, and it is a waste to make it, so it is better to be simple.Although the Tong family's family background is not very strong now, Yuxian believes that the Tong family in the future will not be worse than others.So it doesn't matter what other people think of them.This little aunt is a decent person, knowing that she was wrong, and being able to admit her mistakes bravely, this is quite rare.Judging by her appearance, she is also easy to get along with, and she will get better and better after getting acquainted with her.

"Grandmother, it's good if you live in the capital for a while. Auntie is not difficult to get along with. Only when mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get along well can they have affection." Yuxian helped uncle persuade grandma.

"No one needs to persuade me. I really don't want to live in this capital city anymore. I will think of some things from that year every day. I might as well live in Xijiang Village." Wu said this, feeling a little sad.Back then, she and her husband were a perfect match, a man with a talent and a woman with a beautiful appearance.Now that she is the only one left, revisiting her old place will inevitably make her feel sad, so she is unwilling to stay in the capital.

"Okay, since my mother has said it, let's go home. I'm really not used to living here. It's better to live here." After hearing what her mother said, Fang understood what she was thinking, so she agreed with her to go home. .

Fang Xin knew that he couldn't keep his mother, so he didn't say anything, just hugged his mother's arm and didn't let go.

Xuehui went to the kitchen and saw the cook preparing the food, so she washed her hands and came up to ask for cooking.Instead, the kitchen steward was frightened, "Ma'am, we can do these rough jobs, but you don't dare to do the work, Ma'am. If you let the adults know about this, why don't you kick us out?"

"It doesn't matter, today is my new daughter-in-law's time to cook some food for the elders. In this way, you let them help me and start a fire or something." Xuehui said so, it's not easy to manage things. What's the matter, I just asked the person next to me to bring a new set of apron and handed it to the master.Xuehui put on her apron, rolled up her sleeves, and started cooking.Fortunately, all the dishes are pre-cut, and you only need to fry them in the pan. After a while, Xuehui made some dishes that she is good at.After all the dishes were cooked, he took off his apron, "Okay, let's put the rice in the flower hall of the old lady's courtyard, and eat there at noon today." After finishing speaking, he went out.

The people in the kitchen hurriedly sent the dishes over there, and after a short while, all the meals were ready.The servant girl entered the room and asked: "Old lady, the food is already set, do you want to serve now?"
