Lu Qingqing replied with some confusion: "Aunt Xu, what, what do you like? Why do you have so many jewelry..."

Madam Xu smiled and waved: "These are for you, Qingqing, come here, let me put them on for you to try, I'm sure they'll look good!"

Lu Qingqing was extremely surprised and immediately looked at He Feng and Mrs. He.

He Feng didn't know what to say. Madam Xu was so enthusiastic that she was a little overwhelmed. She looked at Madam He as if for help.

Seeing that He Feng and Lu Qingqing were both looking at Madam He, Madam Xu smiled and said, "Madam, you are not allowed to say no. I have brought all these jewels with me, so there is no reason for me to take them back."

"A woman will only get married once in her life, so she must dress up beautifully. How can she have too many jewelry? Qingqing, come quickly, don't listen to your mother and your grandmother."

Mrs. He smiled and shook her head, and said to Lu Qingqing: "Well, Qingqing girl, then you go."

Hearing Mrs. He say this, Lu Qingqing looked at He Feng again. Seeing that He Feng had no objection, she smiled and walked towards Mrs. Xu.

Madam Xu casually picked up a jade bracelet and put it on Lu Qingqing's wrist. The agate red bracelet made Lu Qingqing's wrist look even whiter and smoother.

Not stopping there, Madam Xu picked up a gold-inlaid jade hairpin and pinned it on Lu Qingqing's bun. There was a tassel with jade beads at the end of the hairpin, hanging down, making Lu Qingqing's little face look even more delicate.

"Oh, they are so beautiful. It's great to be young. These jewelries are what I wore when I was young. They are useless now. Qingqing, this box of jewelries is for you to wear in turn." Madam Xu smiled and sighed, closing the box and handing it to Lu Qingqing.

Lu Qingqing blushed slightly, feeling a little embarrassed, and said, "Aunt Xu, this is really too expensive. I, I just want this bracelet on my hand and the hairpin on my head. You can take the rest back."

Madam Xu said, "You'll just put it away if you take it back. These things are most suitable for a girl of your age. Don't be polite. If you still want to call me aunt, then accept this."

Lu Qingqing had no choice but to bite her lip and accept the generous gift with a blushing face.

"Yaqin, thank you so much, you are so polite!" Mrs. He said with a smile, her eyes filled with both joy and helplessness.

Madam Xu is a very good person. When Madam He got along with her a few days ago, she liked this junior very much. She didn't expect that now that her granddaughter is getting married, Madam Xu is still interacting with her like a relative and adding dowry to her granddaughter!

Yes! Just like relatives!

After Madam Xu left, Madam He suddenly thought that Madam Xu came to give jewelry to Qingqing and deliberately avoided the day before her wedding. Isn't this avoiding other relatives and friends?

This, this is treating Qingqing as her own relative, as a junior! But now her attitude is here, she didn't say that she is the aunt of the Xu family, so Doctor Xu avoided people...

Thinking of this, Mrs. He could no longer sit still. She stood up and walked back and forth, feeling extremely conflicted.

When Master He heard the news, he hurried over and comforted her, "Feng'er's mother, if you want to recognize your relatives in the Xu family, I support you. After all, your parents are gone now, and your eldest brother has always loved you."

"We are all old now. Your eldest brother is older than us, so it goes without saying. How many years can we old bones live? If you want to recognize him, just do it. Don't leave any regrets."

"You also blamed me back then. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have left the capital, and you wouldn't have gotten into this mess with the Xu family. Sigh."

Mr. He was well aware that merchants had a low status, and he could understand why the Xu family was unwilling to marry their daughter to a merchant family.

Over the years, his attitude towards the Xu family has always been positive.

Mrs. He suddenly looked up and looked at the husband with whom she had lived for decades, and suddenly couldn't help bursting into tears.

"Feng'er's father, what happened back then is not your fault, nor is it my fault. It's the way the world is. People have to be divided into three levels and six grades. This idea is deeply rooted in people's minds."

The old couple hugged each other, unable to help but feel deeply moved, and they also agreed that they should just have normal dealings with the Xu family.

Since the Xu family did not take the initiative to propose recognition of their relationship, they would not say anything and pretend to be unaware of the situation.

However, on this day, Mrs. He went to the Big Buddha Temple in the suburbs of Beijing to burn incense, and Mrs. Xu and Minister Xu also accompanied Mr. Xu to the Big Buddha Temple.

Old Master Xu recognized her immediately. The old woman with silver hair in front of him was his younger sister who had married into the He family in the capital city!

"You, you, you are my little sister? A Lan!" Old Master Xu shouted excitedly.

Mrs. He was also stunned. She looked into Mr. Xu's eyes and was extremely shocked. Although the old man in front of her had gray hair, wrinkles on his face, and even age spots, she recognized him at a glance. This was her eldest brother!

Her eldest brother loved her the most since she was a child. When Mrs. He saw her eldest brother, her eyes immediately became red.

"I, I..." Mrs. He wanted to deny it, but when the words came to her lips, she couldn't say them. She just looked at her elder brother with a head full of white hair and shed tears silently.

Madam Xu saw this and hurried forward, saying, "Oh, I said I felt very close to the old lady the first time I saw her. It turns out that you are the little sister that father-in-law has been thinking about, the aunt of me and the master!"

Minister Xu also hurried forward and said, "Aunt, do you still remember me?"

Mrs. He turned around, hurriedly wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and looked at Minister Xu.

On Minister Xu's face, one can vaguely see the outline of her eldest nephew who used to follow her, but now his face has a more resolute look.

"Aunt, I, I am Xing'er, do you still remember me?" Minister Xu couldn't help but redden his eyes and continued to ask.

Mrs. He could no longer hold back her tears, and she looked at Minister Xu and nodded slowly.

"Xing'er, brother, I, I am too ashamed to see you..." Mrs. He covered her face and cried.

Mr. Xu walked forward, patted Mrs. He's shoulder gently, and said comfortingly: "Aying, you are right, and I have never blamed you."

After a while, Mrs. Xu saw that Mrs. He's mood had stabilized a little, and she hurriedly suggested: "Aunt, why don't we go to the Zen room next door and sit and talk?"

Before she came to burn incense today, she was worried that her father-in-law would be too tired, so she asked the Big Buddha Temple for a meditation room so that her father-in-law could rest for a while before going home.

Now, it comes in handy!

Mrs. He's eyes were red. She nodded slightly and walked in with the support of Mother Wang.

In the Zen room, Mr. Xu and Mrs. He finally had a good chat.

Mr. Xu spoke first and asked, "Aying, how have you been these years?"

"I asked someone before. You and your brother-in-law are doing pretty well in business in the capital, but your brother-in-law rarely comes to the capital. When my parents were alive, I also... well, you know my parents' tempers."
