Chapter 79
The head of the Liu family is now a cabinet bachelor, so the gifts should not be too pleasant.Before they could discuss it properly, the old lady called them to go.

"You don't have to be embarrassed, everything is done according to the rules, and you can't do whatever you want just because Mr. Liu's family is my nephew. Besides, this gift can also show the family tradition. It doesn't mean that the more expensive the gift, the better. Only the local rich man will always give money. Yin! The gift is too expensive, and it seems that we are deliberately ingratiating." After all, the old lady was still angry about Ruoying, if it wasn't for the Liu family's lax family management, how could it have ruined her good granddaughter's innocence?
Now that Ruoying is not welcome in Hou's residence, Han's residence also slaps her in the face!This time I went to the Liu Mansion to congratulate, and I had to meet people from the Hou Mansion. They must not be underestimated!

After hearing this, the three elder grandmothers hurriedly agreed, even though they did not dare to neglect.As usual, four betrothal gifts should be given, but there are a lot of particularities about these four.Just take this piece of cloth as an example, brocade brocade can also be given as a gift.Naturally, they all choose top quality gifts, so the gift list includes four beauties, but they are actually quite expensive.

The next day, the old lady took the eldest lady and others to congratulate Liu Mansion.The carriage couldn't get through before the gate, and when I got out of the sedan chair, I saw the carriage parked in a row, probably all the dignitaries came to congratulate me.

They entered through the side door, and the welcoming lady led them directly to the inner courtyard.Seeing the old lady, Mrs. Liu rushed over to greet her, "Auntie is here, please come inside." After saying that, she nodded towards the old lady and the others.

The banquet was placed in the garden, and the autumn weather was dry and the sun was basking on the body, which was very comfortable.Many gorgeously dressed ladies and young ladies were chatting happily in groups of three and five.

"Old lady Liu is still as strong as ever." A kind-faced lady came over to say hello with a smile.

"It's all Buddha's blessing!" The old lady replied with a smile: "Mrs. Wang is getting younger and younger, and she looks like a young daughter-in-law in her early twenties."

"The old lady is happy with my burnt paper. The last time the master hosted a banquet for colleagues from the Imperial Academy, we ladies also took advantage of the opportunity to get together. I looked at the wives at the table, and I counted the eldest lady with temperament. The grandson, daughter-in-law and granddaughter are following here, look at each of them, tsk tsk, a bunch of water onions!" This Mrs. Wang has a sharp mouth, she smiles before she speaks, and her eyes are shrewd behind the old lady. .

"This is the wife of Lord Wang, a Cabinet Attendant of the Imperial Academy." The eldest wife hurriedly introduced to the eldest grandmother and others, and Ruoxi and the others hurried forward to greet her.

Mrs. Wang's eyes rested on Ruoxi's face for a while, a trace of regret flashed in her eyes, then she smiled and pulled Ruoting back and said: "This child is really upright, he looks like a blessed person."

Ruoting was a little flustered by her enthusiasm, the second wife secretly poked her in the back, and then she gave a stiff smile.

Seeing this, Ruoxi felt like a mirror in her heart, probably it was another play of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

The eldest wife went to say hello when she saw an acquaintance, the eldest grandmother was dragged away by her natal sister-in-law, Ruoxi was about to find a corner to stay when she was suddenly pulled away.She turned her head and saw that it was the second grandma of the Liu family.

"I got the best Yuqian Longjing last time, and I'm looking for someone who can talk to me to taste it with me. If my younger sister doesn't mind, come with me. There are so many people here." The second grandma said with a smile. .

After hearing this, Ruoxi wondered, when did she fall into the eyes of this second mistress?But tasting tea with her is better than being stupid here, so I went with Second Grandma when I thought of it.

The two of them walked eastward with their maid, and when they turned around the bamboo forest, they saw a small courtyard.The environment is quiet and the courtyard is tidy, a girl came out to welcome them in.As soon as he entered Ruoxi, he could see that the decoration inside was not bad. The three main rooms were not partitioned, only screens and hollowed-out partitions were used as partitions.There are pens, ink, paper and inkstones on the marble desk, various writing brushes of different sizes in the brush wash, and an unfinished game of chess. There is a piano hanging on the wall opposite the desk. He is proficient in everything in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

The second mistress asked Ruoxi to sit down, and then told the girl: "Pour the tea that the second cousin brought over."

After hearing this, Ruoxi pondered in her heart, who is this second young master?It should be Ding Bohou's second young master, that is, Ruoying's second elder brother.This second mistress is Ding Bohou's niece, and she is not his cousin.

"I played half a game of chess in the morning, and the outcome is still undecided. Is Ninth Sister interested in finishing the game with me?" Second Grandma asked with a smile.

Ruoxi replied after hearing the words: "I don't know anything about chess, I'm afraid it will spoil my second cousin's interest."

"It's okay, I can't tell the difference between myself and myself." After finishing speaking, Ruoxi asked Ruoxi to sit at the desk.

Play chess with yourself?The temper of this second grandmother is very weird.Having said that, she couldn't allow her to refuse any more, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and go over.

Go is a lot of knowledge, and after a few years of study, I really can't figure it out.Ruoxi had never even played Go in modern times, and she hadn't even seen Go in the past few years in Tianzhuang.But the old lady likes to play chess, and she often takes Ruoxi to accompany her, so she has just started a little.

Looking closely at the layout on the table, Ruoxi can see that the black and white sons are evenly matched even though they are not very accomplished.

"Since the second cousin doesn't dislike my poor chess skills, then I will not be polite." After saying that, she picked up Heizi and took a step, she knew that even if they let her play a few times, she would have no chance of winning.

Sure enough, just after a pot of tea was brewed, she lost a complete defeat.Seeing this, Second Mistress smiled and said, "Ninth Younger Sister is really not being polite."

Ruoxi only smiled lightly when she heard the words, she lost her chess skills but couldn't lose her tolerance!

The girl poured two cups of tea and brought them over, then quietly backed out.Ruoxi opened the lid of the teacup and gently fanned it, a fresh fragrance came to her nostrils immediately.Then look at the bright yellow color of the soup, and the leaves sink into the bottom of the cup and stretch out one by one. You don't need to use it to know that it is a good tea!

She picked it up and took a sip, and suddenly felt the mellow taste spread in her mouth, sweet and slightly bitter but not astringent in her throat, and the sweetness returned.

"Good tea!" She couldn't help but blurt out her praise, "It's a pity that I'm not the confidant of my second cousin, otherwise it would be perfect!"

Under the influence of her grandmother, Ruoxi has done some research on the tea ceremony. Although she is not a master, she is also beyond the reach of ordinary people.When she saw the second grandma entertaining herself with high-quality tea, she knew that the second grandma treated her with sincerity.It just made Ruoxi wonder, how could he fall into the eyes of this second mistress?

"Three or five bosom friends, drinking tea and chatting, life is happy!" The second grandma said after hearing this: "But I don't have a bosom friend. I think bosom friends are different from friends. It doesn't mean that you can have them if you have them."

Ruoxi nodded after hearing this, and replied with a smile: "A person will have many friends in this lifetime, but one bosom friend is enough!"

Second Mistress glanced at her when she heard the words, then sipped tea and said nothing.The room was gradually filled with a faint tea fragrance, Ruoxi didn't feel dull, but rather comfortable.Take a sip of tea and let your thoughts fly, it's rare to be so relaxed.
