Hearing this voice, Chen Xing's body trembled. Zhou Jiaqing came over in time, squeezed Chen Xing's hand gently, and called: "Mother."

Chen Xing took a deep breath and raised his eyes to stare at Li Yaxuan: "Second Madam, long time no see. I will see you from time to time in the future. Second Madam, please don't find it annoying."

The distant title suddenly opened the distance between the two of them. Chen Xing's dark eyes made it impossible for Li Yaxuan to read her thoughts.

"We haven't seen each other for a few years. My eldest daughter-in-law seems to have lost some weight. How can I figure it out now? But it's a good thing to figure it out!" The old lady said with a smile when she saw the contest between the two people below.

Chen Xing walked around Li Yaxuan and walked forward to greet the old lady: "Daughter-in-law Chen Xing pays homage to her mother. In recent years, she has been unfilial and has not been able to stay with her mother. This time, thanks to Qing'er's consolation, she finally understood something. The truth is, everyone has to look forward.”

"The second girl is good."

The old lady glanced at Zhou Jiaqing, who was standing obediently next to Chen Xing. His eyebrows flashed, and he pretended to be kind and continued: "You and Haiyang are both still young. There will be many more days in the future, and we will definitely want them again." Several children. Haiyang has never taken any concubines in the past few years. Don’t lose your temper in the future, and be more considerate of Haiming’s feelings for you."

The old lady knew how to comfort before hurting Chen Xing's heart. She stabbed Chen Xing twice in one sentence.

Chen Xing had closed her door to pay homage to the Buddha because of the pain of losing her son, so she brought up the idea of ​​having more children. She also knew that it was caused by the couple's quarrel, and asked Chen Xing to understand Marquis Jing'an's painstaking efforts. Was it because he was empathizing with Marquis Jing'an's outspokenness? ?

Chen Xing loosened his clenched hands and said with a smile: "Mom, please stop teasing me in front of the juniors. By the way, this one has very sharp eyes. Is she Miss Qin?"

These words made the old lady confused about the occasion. She choked up when she mentioned whether or not to have children in front of the unmarried juniors. Chen Xing had never been so tactful back then.

He just came out today, and even Qin Xingyue, who has been in the government for half a year, knows about it, which shows that he has put in a lot of effort.

Qin Xingyue, who was asked about it, hurriedly stepped forward: "Go back to my aunt, the daughter of the people, Qin Xingyue."

"He is a well-behaved child." After saying this, Yunxiang, who was behind Chen Xing, stepped forward and handed over a pair of golden twisted silk ribbons made of Dielianhua flowers.

After Qin Xingyue accepted the offer of thanks in surprise, Zhou Jiahua was jealous and hurriedly stepped forward to greet her.

After receiving the plum blossom-shaped head and face inlaid with gold and red jewels, Zhou Jiahua was overjoyed when he held it in his hand and kept stroking it. Little did he know how ironic this look was in Li Yaxuan's eyes.

Then the other three ladies have met the eldest lady one by one. Zhou Jiayun got the five-piece gold inlaid butterfly inlaid head and face, and Zhou Jiajing got the four-piece gold inlaid butterfly inlaid head and face. Their panicked look made Zhou Jiahua ridiculed that they have never seen it before. world.

Needless to say, Zhou Jiaqing has a twenty-three-piece set of red gold filigree-embedded mutton-fat white jade crabapple head noodles and top-quality mutton-fat white jade noodle heads.

After the ladies finished their salutes, the aunts then bowed one by one, and unexpectedly received a pair of gold and jade bracelets, a pair of gold and pearl bracelets, and a pair of gold and jade bracelets.

After this meeting ceremony, all the juniors were extremely happy. The atmosphere in Ronghua Residence was also very lively. The joy on the aunt's face could not be hidden. Except for Zhou Jiayun, the remaining girls gathered around the eldest lady and asked her questions. non-stop.

Although Zhou Jiahua was still jealous that Zhou Jiaqing was better off, she was still a concubine of a second wife, and it was good to get the current meeting gift.

You must know that the second wife's reward is usually a bracelet or a pair of earrings, or a hairpin.

The eldest lady directly gave a complete set of gifts, which was countless times better than what the second lady received in terms of value and quantity.

"Sister-in-law's gift is too heavy." Li Yaxuan smiled gently, pretending to be reserved, and said embarrassedly: "Sister-in-law, you don't know, my siblings have been saving money everywhere in the past few years when they have been in charge of the Hou Mansion. The money has to be used for the officialdom of my eldest brother and husband, but it’s embarrassing for the girls that they can’t use such expensive jewelry.”

Li Yaxuan is saying that the eldest lady does not know how to be frugal, she only knows how to spend and does not understand the hard work of managing the family. She must divide the money into several parts and use it. The official career of the two men is the most important.

To give out a gift like her today, it still has to come from the public house, and she will have to save it when the time comes.

So what if we leave Xinan Court?

So what if the girls and aunts are all surrounding you?

What if I call you the eldest lady?

She, Li Yaxuan, is now in charge of the Hou Mansion and planning for her eldest brother and husband.

Zhou Jiahua's expression changed, and he clenched the gold-inlaid plum blossom-shaped headband in his hand, for fear that the second lady would take it away.

Chen Xing raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone: "How much can these small jewelry be worth? You don't need to go out from the public house. The 8864 shops in Da'an City are all my dowry. It seems that how many brothers and sisters are there?" I still don’t know how to run a business over the years, so I can’t save this money. Otherwise, if a girl from the Hou’s Mansion doesn’t have many decent jewelry, wouldn’t others laugh at the fact that our Hou’s Mansion is poor?”

As soon as these words came out, everyone except Zhou Jiaqing was startled.

The honor and disgrace of a woman in the backyard, apart from the favor of a man, is the quality of her own dowry. The more dowry, the better, the more valued the woman will be in her husband's family.

In Zhou Jiaqing's last life, he knew that the eldest lady was the daughter of the former border general. Although he was discharged and returned to his fields in his early years, he couldn't help but that the whole family was very business-savvy.

The general in the border area happened to have a close relationship with a county magistrate named Chen. Because the magistrate had no daughter and loved the eldest lady very much, and the general was stationed outside the border all year round, he raised the eldest lady with the magistrate. Neither of them were sons of Da'an City. Among the people, not many people know the facts.

The wives of the Hou Mansion all thought that she was just the daughter of the county magistrate, and that the dowry for that day was also purchased by the county magistrate. In order not to hurt the magistrate's face, the general secretly gave her the dowry he had purchased for his daughter. She and Marquis Jing'an knew about it.

Not only is the eldest lady's family rich, but she also has a money-making mind, and all the dowry shops she runs are very profitable.

Chen Xing gave a brief explanation and even gave the old lady a generous gift.

When the old lady saw Chen Xing and gave the order, the maids who filed in were holding in their hands a jade horse four feet three inches long and two feet eight inches high, a jade tripod, ten jade Ruyi handles, and a large longan. Ten East beads, a complete set of dark red agate mosaic head and face, a five-piece head and face set with red gold silk inlaid with emerald stones, a head and face made of red gold and plum blossom style beads and nineteen sword styles...

The old lady couldn't help but be shocked, and stretched out her hand to stop hitting the smiling man. Chen Xing blocked the old lady so that she couldn't say anything embarrassing.

Li Yaxuan's face turned even darker. After going all over the place, Chen Xing did not reward her alone!
