Grandma Qin looked at them, smiled and shook her head: "Boss, you have to go to town and buy a new quilt for A Fang and the others. They just got home and it's their first day as a newlywed. Happy to be able to do it.”

Qin's mother: "Hey, I'll go as soon as I can."

Yang Haiyan: "I'm going with my mother. I also know the roads in the town. I'll ask my husband to drive the carriage."

Second Aunt Qin hurriedly said: "I'm going too." Look at the eldest nephew's daughter-in-law's outfit, she must be a rich owner. If she goes there, if the eldest nephew's daughter-in-law buys things for her eldest sister-in-law, she will be able to leave her behind, right?

Grandma Qin's eyes widened: "What are you going to do? Are you going to cook at the third child's house and have lunch at noon?"

Second Aunt Qin rolled her eyes, then she smiled and flattered Grandma Qin and said, "Mom, this A Fang's wife just came here. Let's have something good for lunch and buy some meat, shall we? Go to the town to give A Fang Buy some meat with A Fang’s wife.”

Grandma Qin really wanted to embarrass this brainless second daughter-in-law in front of her granddaughter-in-law. After all, it was the first time they met, so she always wanted to save some face for her second daughter-in-law. "Ah Fang and the others passed through the county town on their way back and have already bought meat."

Second Aunt Qin: "..."

Grandma Qin became impatient: "I'm going to wash the vegetables."

Second Aunt Qin: "Go and go."

As soon as Second Aunt Qin left, Third Aunt Qin immediately followed.

Grandma Qin sighed: "Old man, then you can take A Fang's wife with you."

Qin's mother nodded, then smiled at Yang Haiyan and said, "Wait a moment and go change clothes." When a new daughter-in-law goes to town, she must wear something decent.

Yang Haiyan: "Mom, please take your time, there is no rush."

At the entrance of the courtyard, several men from the Qin family worked together to remove some of the width of the courtyard door, so that the carriage could now come in. Qin Fang drove the carriage in and then pulled Wu Shuai in. The men of the Qin family just watched. There were horses and carriages. They liked it.

Grandma Qin said: "What are you doing there in Duchu? Come and meet A Fang's wife."

Grandpa Qin and others came over. They looked at Yang Haiyan for a few times. Although they were elders, they were still different from men. They looked at Yang Haiyan for a long time.

Qin Fang also came over: "Come and introduce me to Yan Yan."

Grandma Qin: "Hey, you are so good."

Qin Fang: "Yanyan, this is grandpa, this is daddy, this is the second uncle, this is the third uncle, and there are two aunts. Grandpa, daddy, second uncle, third uncle, this is my daughter-in-law Yan Yan, whose name is Yang Haiyan.”

Yang Haiyan made a junior salute: "Grandpa, Dad, Second Uncle, Third Uncle."

Grandpa Qin and others: "Hey."

Grandpa Qin forced out a smile: "Okay, okay, A Fang is getting married, and the first big thing in my heart has been let go. You two should be well in the future."

Yang Haiyan said obediently: "Grandpa, don't worry, you will be fine."

Grandpa Qin nodded.

Qin's father and others also nodded and said nothing. They also knew what to say. It would be fine if Grandpa Qin, the elder, said it.

Qin's mother changed her clothes and came out: "Yanyan, it's ready." Although they were half-old and new clothes, they were clean. Coupled with Qin's mother's character, she is very energetic at first glance.

Yang Haiyan stepped forward: "Mom."

Grandma Qin: "Ah Fang, take your mother and daughter-in-law to the town to buy some things."

Qin Fang: "Yes, grandma."

Yang Haiyan supported Qin's mother and asked Qin's mother to get on the carriage first, and then she followed. After they were seated, Qin Fang drove the carriage out. Second Aunt Qin stuck her head out from the kitchen and watched, a little envious of Qin's mother. She also wanted to get into the carriage. She had never been in a carriage in her life, so she just wanted to have a good time.

In the carriage, Mother Qin was a little cautious. She had never been in a carriage before. The carriage was so clean that she knew how to put her hands and feet.

As a daughter-in-law, Yang Haiyan must of course take care of her mother-in-law, Mother Qin. She followed the topic thoughtfully: "Mom, my husband came back this time and brought a box of fur materials, ‌ Thinking of meeting an elder for the first time, do you think it’s appropriate to use it as a greeting gift?”

With Yang Haiyan looking for topics to talk about, Mother Qin felt more confident. Moreover, his daughter-in-law took the initiative to discuss it with him, which made Qin's mother put aside her restraint when she first got into the carriage. She said: "The fur material is very expensive, isn't it? It's okay to give the material as a gift, but..." She wanted to say that it's better to give it as a gift, but the fur material is better kept for yourself. , but she is also afraid that her daughter-in-law will think she is stingy. It’s difficult.

Yang Haiyan heard that she was hesitant to speak. She held Qin's mother's hand and said: "Mom, I have no family since I was a child. When I was 6 years old, my family sold her to Yapo, who then sold her to Yapo. In the Taifu Mansion in the capital, fortunately, he had a decent appearance, so he was attracted by the girl from the Taifu Mansion, and then he followed the girl to study and read, and learned the rules and etiquette of women in the Taifu Mansion. It’s hard to understand the families of high-ranking officials and the families of ordinary people.

Therefore, I would also like to ask my mother-in-law to teach me how ordinary people live their lives, as well as some New Year's etiquette for meeting their elders. "

When Qin's mother heard this, she felt more relieved. Just now she was worried that her daughter-in-law would dislike her for being stingy, but now that she heard what she said and knew that she understood this, she said patiently: "When people meet their elders, they only need a pair of boots and a handkerchief." ‌. One piece is enough to wipe the forehead. These are all valuable, as long as they are from your heart. Materials and furs are all valuable things. Generally speaking, they are not worth giving to grandparents and grandparents. Gold is more expensive.”

Yang Haiyan showed an expression of listening carefully: "I know, then, mother, what gifts should we prepare for grandpa and grandma, uncles and aunts this time?"

Mother Qin thought for a while: "Prepare shoes for everyone, Fang's grandpa and grandma, second uncle and second aunt, third uncle and third aunt, everyone is the same, so there is nothing to complain about."

Yang Haiyan heard it and said happily: "Mother is still thoughtful, I didn't think of it. I am too lazy, I think the materials are convenient, but it takes time to make shoes. "

Mother Qin smiled: "Then you also know how big their shoes are. Now the shoemakers have come here, just buy them directly in town, and mother knows the size. "

Yang Haiyan: "Mother, you are so nice. What should I give my brothers and sisters?"

Mother Qin: "Girls all give a silk flower, brothers...still give shoes."

When Yang Haiyan heard this, she couldn't help laughing.

Mother Qin also thought it was interesting and couldn't help laughing. She thought to herself, this daughter-in-law is really good, easy to get along with, and good in character.

When Qin Fang heard his mother's daughter-in-law's laughter, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he was in a good mood. He was afraid that his wife and mother would not get along well, after all, these were the two most important people in his life. However, he was actually not afraid, after all, he still had confidence in his wife.

When they arrived in town, they first went to the ready-made clothing store, and bought shoes as a gift for the elders and younger generations as Qin's mother said, and then bought silk flowers for the maids. Then they went to buy wedding quilts and other things they needed.

When buying shoes, Qin's mother did not pay, which was a gift for the elders and younger generations, and naturally it was prepared by the children. But when buying wedding quilts and other things, Qin's mother rushed to pay, because this was what the husband's family should prepare.

Yang Haiyan did not refuse, anyway, it was okay to use Qin's mother's money, and she would still give it to her in the end.

After buying everything they needed, they went out. After a while, they arrived at Qin's house and decided to have lunch.

In the carriage, Yang Haiyan mentioned Qin Fang's matter: "Mom, this time you came back, you also brought back a good news, guess it."

Qin's mother subconsciously wanted to guess whether her daughter-in-law was pregnant, but it was possible after thinking about it. If her daughter-in-law was pregnant, they would not rush back like this, but she guessed it again.

Yang Haiyan said: "It's because my husband got promoted. He was a centurion before. The centurion has no rank, just like the head of the yamen. But now he is a thousand-man leader, a seventh-rank official, conferred by the court, and is as old as our county magistrate."

Qin's mother: "What?" She was confused. She suspected that she had heard it wrong. Her son is as old as the county magistrate? After a long while, she nervously grabbed Yang Haiyan's hand, "Yanyan, are you telling the truth?"

Yang Haiyan said, "Yes, your son has become an official."

Mother Qin was stunned, and then tears flowed down again: "This... this..." She was happy and sad. She was happy that her son had a promising future, but she was sad that her son was from a peasant family, and he became an official, which showed how much effort he had put in. In the military camp, the effort he put in was equal to the danger he encountered. How could she be sad? After all, it was a happy event, so she quickly calmed down, "This is really good news. His grandparents and father will be so happy when they know about it."

Yang Haiyan said, "Yes, not only grandparents and father are happy, but also second uncle and second aunt, third uncle and third aunt, they must be happy too, because my husband is their closest nephew."

When Qin's mother heard Yang Haiyan mention the second and third wives, she couldn't help sighing, "You, you just came to our house, you know the situation at home. Your second uncle is an honest man, and he knows the family affairs. It was taken care of by you. Your second aunt is quick-witted and likes to take advantage. Your third uncle used to be a smart man, but because he has no children in these years, he has gradually become silent. However, at the end of last year, your third uncle mentioned to the family that he wanted to adopt your third brother. "

Yang Haiyan was a little surprised: "It has always been the case that young children are adopted, and the third brother is so old. Besides, our family is not willing to adopt the third brother out."

Qin's mother was very satisfied when she heard her say that our family. "Who said that? I agreed at that time to let them adopt from the clan or find one from outside. If they want to adopt a son, that's impossible."

Yang Haiyan seemed to have heard a big gossip: "What did the third uncle say?"

Mother Qin: "Afang's third uncle said that those adopted from the clan and those adopted from outside are not as close as Shoucheng. He said Shoucheng is his nephew, just like his own son. In fact, he didn't mention it in the early years. Now he mentions it, and he has other considerations."
