Abandoned Wife and Marry Only: Daughter of Houmen

Chapter 362

The third lady took Hui'an's hand again, and kept praising her, as if wishing to use all the good words on her, and finally asked the girl Luhe to take a pair of emerald hair with a very good color He made a meeting ceremony for Hui'an, but said with a smile.

"Third aunt is poor, and she can't afford to give you anything good. This hair is not good in color, and it's not as good as the good old pit jadeite your mother gave you. Don't be disgusted, take it back and give it to others."

Mrs. Cui only gave two jadeite bracelets, but the third wife is a complete set of emeralds, the color is not as good as the bracelet given by Mrs. Cui, but after all, Mrs. Cui is the aunt. The weight is light, and with the implicit and explicit implication of the third lady's words, everyone knows that there are many eyes on Cui Shi at the moment.

Cui gritted her teeth angrily, but she couldn't say anything, she just stared at Hui'an.

Although Hui'an didn't like Cui Shi, she didn't want to get involved in her personal grievances with the third wife.Just now, the three wives did not speak early or late, but Cui Shi only called out when she put the teacup, and she didn't have any good intentions, maybe she wanted to stir up conflicts in the big family, and Hui'an didn't want to be that gunman .Hearing the words, he just smiled and said: "The third aunt was joking. Mother and third aunt love An Niang, and they give An Niang very good things. It's too late for An Niang to hide them happily, but she is reluctant to give them to others. .”

Cui could not help being disappointed when she heard Hui An's impartiality, she smiled and said nothing more, but Cui couldn't help but look at Hui An and pursed her lips.

Next came some uncles and aunts. The old man Guan had a very rich heir all his life, and he had ten brothers, of which five were only descended from the direct descendants. However, there are not many of them in the capital now, and Hui An only met them in a hurry. The face is familiar, but at the end of the round, he received two plates of greeting gifts.

Seeing that everyone had seen everyone, Guan Baize ordered them to leave, and then he and Guan Yuanhe sent a group of men out of the hall.But the female relatives stayed behind, Cui Shi was about to get up to see off the guests, but at this time the third wife suddenly spoke.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry. My sister-in-law wants to ask sister-in-law about something. It stands to reason that this is my own family business, but there are no outsiders here, so I won't go to Xiangrui Yuan to trouble my aunt anymore. I will ask here. Bar."

After she finished speaking, she didn't wait for Cui Shi to open her mouth and said like a gun barrel: "Actually, it's not a big deal, but yesterday our third young master got married, and the sedan chair came to the gate of the mansion, but we went around the city again. The extra money will naturally be donated from the middle. I just want to ask my aunt, since the money is donated from the middle, my Baishunyuan has been in disrepair for a long time, and I want to renovate it. Is this money How about a subsidy from China Feedback?"

Cui Shi didn't expect that the third lady would throw away her face at this moment, and when she mentioned this matter, seeing everyone looked at her, her face became ugly, and she wished she could go up and tear the third lady's mouth.

Cursing inwardly, the Baishun Courtyard has been in disrepair for a long time, it seems that she treats the third room so harshly on weekdays.Zhuang Jinxiu had mentioned this matter to Mrs. Cui a long time ago, but Mrs. Cui always excused her. The cost of building the yard was huge. Zhuang Jinxiu clearly wanted to grab the money, and Mrs. Cui controlled Zhongfu, how could she want to take the money at will?

Her complexion changed when she heard the words, so she said with a smile: "Look at what the third sibling said, that Baishun courtyard is the most exquisitely decorated courtyard in this mansion, and it took only ten years for our Guan mansion to renovate the whole courtyard. It’s been built. I’ve only lived in it for more than ten years. How come it’s been in disrepair for a long time. Besides, each courtyard has to be repaired and repaired every year. If the brothers and sisters really don’t like the current courtyard, why don’t you wait for a while? I also know that the third master just got married, and the betrothal gift is equivalent to 8 to [-] taels of silver, plus the expenses of buying wedding wine and so on, and now Zhongfu really can't afford the money to repair the yard..."

She didn't say she wouldn't give the money, but only said that because of Guan Yuanhe's marriage, she lost the money and brought the disaster to Hui An. Hui An sneered in her heart when she heard the words, but her face was filled with panic, and she said submissively: "This... ...Or, I'll ask Nanny Fang to pack up the dowry money, the extra money spent on getting married yesterday, I...my master and I will take it out to subsidize the money."

Hui'an seemed extremely at a loss, as if she was blaming herself, but if Cui Shi really said that she was asked to take the dowry money to subsidize the middle reward, or because of the marriage, that would be a big joke, and Cui Shi wouldn't even think about it. To fame.

Cui Shi didn't expect Hui An to say that, her complexion changed, and she said in a deep voice: "What nonsense! How can you use the dowry to subsidize the family? Those who don't know think that our Guanfu is going to collapse, no joke!"

When Hui An heard the words, she said yes again and again in trepidation, frowned, then lowered her head, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, Cui Shi didn't want to say a word to herself, so Hui An was like this, trembling with anger.The second wife has already stepped forward and took Hui An's hand, saying: "This child also has good intentions, look at you, you are scaring the child. Alright, let's talk about this later."

After speaking, he smiled and beckoned all the female relatives to go out, Hui An didn't stay here and lowered his head and left the hall.In my heart, I don't care at all about whether Cui Shi agreed to the third wife's matter. The left and right Zhongfu are controlled by Cui Shi, and the money will not reach her hands.He also thought about what Guan Yuanhe said in the morning that he wanted to renovate the yard, and he only said that it was fortunate that she didn't say that she wanted to repair it, otherwise it would be too much.

Hui An came out of the hall and was dragged by the second lady to say a few words, then walked towards Qifengyuan, just turned around the Chaoshou verandah, and saw Guan Yuanhe standing in front of him under a pomegranate tree with lush flowers and leaves, his head slightly raised, The right hand fiddled with a red flower among the branches, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally. The sun shone from the shade of the tree, and the mottled shadows fell, illuminating his whole body. With profound facial features, people couldn't move their eyes away.

Hui'an knew that he must be waiting for her, so she frowned, turned around, took the sunshade silk umbrella from Qiu'er, and walked over quickly.After walking three steps away, Guan Yuanhe looked over, took a step forward to stare at her, took the umbrella in her hand, and the two walked forward side by side, Guan Yuanhe didn't speak, Hui An felt a little uneasy.

Hui'an was thinking about serving tea just now. Although she felt that there was a conflict between Guan Yuanhe and Cui Shi, it was her own idea after all. Guan Yuanhe had never said a word about Cui Shi to her. In the hall, he caught the cup of tea thrown at him, and Hui'an really didn't know what he meant for a moment.Was it because he was afraid that she would get hurt, or because he didn't want her to tear herself apart with Cui Shi?
