The Chronicle of the Rebirth of the First Daughter

Chapter 74
"Emerald..."

The old lady was lying halfway on the soft couch, holding a newly embroidered handkerchief in her hand and calling Fei Cui over with a smile: "Look, how about the design and color of this handkerchief, and how about the embroidery work?"

Fei Cui took a look, and saw a light blue handkerchief in the old lady's hand, with a few Aoxue red plums embroidered on it. The handkerchief was made of soft silk, with a light blue background, just like the clear sky. The plum blossom protruding from one corner blooms proudly in the snow, which is very charming.

Looking at the stitching, it is also fine, but the craftsmanship is obviously a bit rough, and it must be done by a person who has just learned to be a female celebrity.

"Old lady, this kerchief is really good. Look at the color and matching, and the fabrics are all good, plus the artistic conception, it's hard to understand how this person came up with it." Fei Cui praised with a smile.

The old lady's face was full of smiles, and she patted Jade's hand: "Don't praise her, this handkerchief embroidery is not very good, it's hard for her to show such filial piety, it was made by Yuechan herself, Tete brought it to me."

It turned out that the eldest lady did it, Fei Cui nodded secretly in her heart, no wonder the old lady is so happy, even this rough workmanship does not dislike it.

"Yuechan is a filial child. I usually remember to bring any delicious and fun things to me. A few days ago, the begonias in the garden were blooming, and Yuechan saw them. She dug a plant and planted it in a flower pot. I sent it here, saying it was for my filial piety, but tell me, even a flower misses me, so it’s no wonder I prefer her.” The old lady expressed gratitude.

Fei Cui nodded quickly: "The old lady is very right. The eldest lady is very filial to you. From my point of view, I really wish I could bring everything to you."

As soon as the words came out, the old lady smiled even brighter.

"Old lady, the three wives of the Su family are asking to see you!"

At this moment, Crystal opened the curtain and came in, and said slightly.

The old lady immediately sat up and said with a lot of energy: "My wife is here, please come in quickly."

Jing Jing responded, turned around and went out, the old lady took a look at Fei Cui: "Fe Cui, you have someone send a message to your wife, just say that your wife is here, and ask her to come and accompany the guests."

Fei Cui responded, and went out to find a little girl to send a message.

After a while, I saw Crystal ushering three noble ladies into the door. The three ladies lined up and bowed to the old lady together. The old lady smiled and let the three sit down. Let the tea and snacks be served in a loud voice.

"Old lady, don't be so busy!" Su Mushi covered her mouth and smiled: "We are all relatives, there is no need to see each other like this, and we are not thirsty, so there is no need to be so anxious."

The old lady smiled: "That's right, but you can't be rude."

While talking, several little girls came in with tea and snacks, and presented them one by one.

The three wives of the Su family didn't move, and the water didn't touch it at all, but the old lady who watched it became puzzled.

"I don't know what the three in-laws and wives are going to do at my house today?" The old lady suppressed her doubts, took a sip of tea, and asked with a smile.

As soon as she asked, Su Mu stood up immediately, with a gentle smile on her face: "Isn't it almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, our family is also busy, and you know that our old lady doesn't care about things now, and the affairs of the family are all ours." The three are in charge. As for us, we are young and ignorant, and have not experienced any major events. How can we be as watertight as the old lady? I sent a gift to your house a few days ago. I am afraid that there is a mistake in it, or the gift is simple. It’s too thin, but the wife in charge of your mansion scolded me a lot. The woman who gave the gift came back and said, our old lady called us three sisters-in-law to get a good lesson. No, she will send us here today. The family will apologize."

What does it mean?
The old lady glanced at the three wives of the Su family. Hearing the cynicism of the eldest lady of the Su family, she was very surprised. The two houses have always been in contact with each other, and they have been giving gifts all the year round. What went wrong? Why did the third wife of the Su family The lady came together to Xingshi to inquire about the crime?
Could it be that there was something wrong with the things I sent?

Thinking of this, the old lady quickly calmed down and smiled: "What did the eldest lady say? No one in Chang'an knows that the three wives in your house are all shrewd and capable people. There is nothing wrong with it. In fact, my wife and I are both sick this year, and Yuechan will handle the reception and delivery. I don’t know if the delivery is reasonable. If there is anything wrong, it’s because of Yuechan’s young age. , don't forget too much, after all, you are also her real aunt."

After all, the old lady is a mature person, and when she recounts her words, not only is she watertight, but she also puts the crime on the Su family. The Su family, who is talking inside and outside, will not let go of even a child, and treats their own granddaughters. This is how to suppress and criticize.

Su Mu's face turned pale when she said this outright, she clenched her fists and said in her heart that it's no wonder her mother-in-law doesn't like to deal with the Meng family, all of them are too irrational, and they are even more preoccupied. Come to think of it, in such a family , Yuechan and Haoyu must have suffered a lot, and I don't know how these two children are doing now?
While she was thinking about it, Su Huashi, the second wife of the Su family, laughed: "Old lady, what are you talking about? The things Yuechan sent are naturally good, and they are very suitable for our old lady. Our old lady accepted the gift and is very happy." No, I ate half a bowl of rice that night. Unfortunately, I was so angry that I couldn't eat the next day, but our master was frightened. There was really no way, so we asked us secretly. It turned out that it was What did your wife say that made our old lady mad, let's think about it, let's ask your lady what she said, and let her explain it to our old lady, let us Eat something."

Su Fangshi, the third wife of the Su family, wiped her tears with a wave of her handkerchief: "I haven't seen the old lady, but unfortunately, our old lady is so old, and she can't afford to get sick. Seeing that she has lost a lot of weight, we It's really distressing to be a junior, there is really no other way, so I begged at the door of your mansion, please let your wife explain it for the sake of relatives, otherwise, our old lady has something wrong..."

The two daughters-in-law even chased and blocked them, and used threats. The old lady's fingertips trembled when she said it outright, and she didn't know why the Su family came to her to make such a fuss.

"Crystal, go and have a look, why isn't your wife here?" The old lady couldn't get angry with the three wives of the Su family, so she turned her head and yelled at Jingjing: "I don't know that there is a distinguished guest at home, so you don't know the rules... ..."

Jing Jing lowered her head, agreed, and was about to go out, but she saw Fei Cui coming in, squatting in front of the old lady and said: "Return to the old lady, my wife fell in the back garden today, and now I am asking the doctor to take a pulse... "

What this means is that Liu Mei can't come.

The old lady was so angry that her face changed color. Looking at the three wives of the Su family who were sitting down, they looked cold.

However, she still had to maintain the dignity of the Meng family, so she smiled: "Unfortunately, my in-laws also heard that Mei'er fell down, so it's inconvenient to come."

Su Mushi smiled: "It's a coincidence, why did the wife stumble as soon as we came?"

"That's it, why don't we go and have a look together." The second wife also laughed.

The old lady frowned tightly: "It's unnecessary, and it's not a big deal if you think about it, how dare you work hard for your in-laws and wives."

Su Mu lowered her head: "Since this is the case, the wife of your mansion can't come, then we have to explain this matter to the old lady carefully."

While talking, she winked at the third wife, and Su Fang smiled: "It's nothing special, we have to make it clear, our old lady confessed that I miss Haoyu and Yuechan when we came to give gifts to our house the other day. Well, let’s pick them up, but the wife of your manor disagrees with her words, so that’s fine, she also said that our family will not teach our daughters, and the daughters we teach are not good, and it’s not good to marry into your mansion. She doesn't know how to take care of things, so Yuechan is also ignorant, she only knows how to play and won't share the worries of the elders."

The second wife, Su Huashi, frowned, didn't look at the old lady's appearance, and said angrily: "Our old lady is worried, because she is afraid that Yuechan will not learn well. No, let's take a look and ask carefully. What is going on? If there is something wrong with Yuechan, we don't mind taking her over to teach her well. After all, the wife of your family has a weak foundation and is not from a serious background. Although our Su family is not talented, we These three aunts think that no matter whether they are housekeepers or directors, they are also good at cooking, so they must be able to teach Yuechan well."

The old lady felt very distressed, the Su family had already made clear their position, they demoted Liu Mei to nothing, saying that she was no better than the three wives of the Su family, and even more so, the Su family who died earlier.

This remark made the old lady very angry, so she was about to say something, but she saw Su Mu put down the teacup, and said with a smile: "Don't be angry, old lady, my two sisters can't talk, what's the matter? They are juniors, so don't worry about them, but to be honest, your wife really doesn't look like her."

The second wife nodded: "Yes, even ordinary people from small families know that their family ugliness should not be publicized, let alone such a high-ranking family in your house, how could they not know how to protect their reputation? The wife of your house belittled Yuechan openly and secretly. Don't you want to ruin the reputation of your family, you know, Yuechan is not good at all, and at the very least, she can't let her step-mother spread the word."

The three wives of the Su family are the same as the old lady. They are all literate, and the three masters of the Su family are all from the officialdom. They have heard some things all the year round. The old lady was speechless.

The old lady suppressed her anger, calmed down, and smiled slightly: "I don't know about this matter, but don't worry, my in-laws, I will definitely investigate the matter, and when the time comes, I will give my in-laws an explanation."

Seeing that the old lady had already made up her mind to fool around, Su Mu shook her head secretly, thinking that her own side was still not strong enough, it seemed that she had to be more tyrannical.

Having made up her mind, she stopped laughing, and turned her face down: "The old lady is very right, but our old lady is still lying down, but she has not touched the rice, and she is always thinking about Yuechan. going to suffer."

"This..." The old lady was also a little embarrassed. It was the first time for her to be forced into the house to criticize her. She secretly hated Liu Mei's unreliable work and offended the Su family so thoroughly.

"Old lady!" Mrs. Su said with a stern face, "A few days ago, when the lady of your mansion straightened her body, we were not rude at all, and we didn't know where we offended her. Miss, let's not talk about stopping Yuechan from showing up that day, and not even giving Yuechan any serious clothes and jewelry, just say that it is the holidays, the old lady in our house misses her grandchildren, and wants to take them to live for a day, that's a little bit There is no more etiquette, why does your wife disagree?"

This is a blatant slap in the face, even the old lady who has gone through so many things can't help but blush.
