The daughter-in-law of a wealthy family does not lie flat

Zhou Huaiying is over 50 years old this year, but people will only find it appropriate to describe her as having red lips, white teeth and remaining charm.

Every morning, she would use jasmine oil, which was used in ancient times for the emperor, to maintain her hair. Two maids would help her bathe with milk, roll her face with jade stones, comb her hair neatly, and the cheongsam she wore when going out must not have even a single wrinkle.

Her rings, necklaces, and hair accessories were all neatly arranged. When she went out, she was followed by a driver and four or five maids.

When she eats alone, every meal consists of four cold dishes, four hot dishes and four soups. Her family's afternoon tea snacks are all traditional palace flavors.

These are just a few of the details of her life.

It's rare to find such particular families nowadays.

Fu Daishi was considered rich, but he just hired a few more servants, and ate and dressed more expensively and elegantly. Zhou Huaiying looked down on these nouveau riche from the bottom of his heart.

Her family is rich, aristocratic, and a descendant of the royal family.

Zhou Huaiying's father's side is insignificant, the key is his mother's family.

Zhou Huaiying's grandmother was called "Gege" and seemed to have been conferred the title of princess, but that was during the period of the puppet regime.

The iron torrent of the great era will not let anyone go. When the war comes, her family will inevitably begin a life of fleeing.

It’s just that escaping with money is different from escaping without money.

My ancestors were smart and opened trading companies in Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore and other places. They donated a lot of money and materials during the Anti-Japanese War and the War of Liberation and were considered patriotic businessmen. During the ten years of turmoil, the whole family was in Hong Kong and was not affected. Instead, the family became more and more prosperous and wealthy.

Although the Zhou family's business is extensive, the most well-known are the Zhou family's jewelry business and the shareholder auction house.

Ming Sicun often said that among her poker friends, Zhou Huaiying was the most outstanding.

Zhou Huaiying usually pays great attention to her status. Although she often plays cards with Ming Sicun and they have a very harmonious relationship, in her heart, Ming Sicun's ancestors were officials for her ancestors, and maybe they were even bondservants.

So, when the doorman came to report today that a Mrs. Wang had arrived, Ming Sicun no longer thought that it was Zhou Huaiying who had come.

"Oh, Mrs. Wang is here! Is this the eldest daughter? She is so pretty, look at her head and figure, oh my, she is such an outstanding child!"

Zhou Huaiying smiled and said, "She is Manshu, the one I told you about. She and your third son went to the same university for undergraduate studies."

Wang Manshu nodded slightly, "Hello, auntie! I am Wang Manshu."

"Good, good, this child is so good, I fell in love with him at first sight! Come in quickly!"

After being seated in the hall, Zhou Huaiying looked around and asked, "Chairman Fu is not at home?"

"I wasn't going to go out today. I just played with my granddaughter here. And now, I heard a phone call and I'm gone again! I heard that he was having a gathering with old friends. I guess he won't be able to come back for lunch."

"Hey, men always have to work hard, no matter what age they are. They can't stay at home. Manshu's father stayed at the United Nations for more than half a year, and each time he came back, he only stayed for four or five days. How difficult it is for me to raise a child at home alone!"

Ming Si thought to herself, there are her two maids in the lounge outside the door, and the servants in her home are just as many as the Fu family. Even if she raises ten children, she doesn't need to do anything. How can it be difficult?

He said, "Isn't it? Among us, who wouldn't praise you for being capable? And knowing how to educate children. This is not a matter of being rich or poor, it's a matter of a person's cultural heritage."

Zhou Huaiying smiled and said, "Don't praise me. You are the one who comes from a scholarly family. Manshu, your aunt Fu's family has a place in modern history!"

Wang Manshu seemed to know how to deal with ladies like Ming Sicun. "I know you always praise Aunt Fu at home. Today, I see that she is as famous as she is. I wish I could have Aunt Fu's temperament when I grow up!"

Ming Sicun was even more amazed after hearing this, and he quickly arranged for someone to go to the kitchen to inform them to prepare lunch for Manshu and his daughter.

"I'm not here to eat for free today. Last time you told my brother that you wanted to pick out some jewelry and couldn't come over. I said I was just about to come over and brought some designs for you to see."

When Ming Sicun heard this, his face lit up. Zhou Huaiying had once come to his house in person to help people make selections.

"Oh, my dear sister, this is my good fortune. You have good taste!"

Zhou Huaiying called out, and the gold shop staff who followed opened the four large boxes they brought. Each box was divided into four or five layers. Ming Sicun knew that these were specially prepared for inspection at other people's homes.

"This batch of new designs is really good. No wonder there are so many gold shops, but none of them can compare to yours."

Ming Sicun selected a pair of gold bracelets, a diamond brooch, and a pearl necklace according to Fu Jiayi's age and temperament.

"You guys go back and tell your uncle that I'm going to have lunch at Fu's house." The guys agreed and went.

Fu Junlin just had some sandwiches in the morning.

I didn't go out today. I played basketball in the backyard all morning. I was already hungry, so I ran back to the living room thinking about taking a shower before coming down to eat. Suddenly, I saw Wang Manshu standing in his living room, admiring the decorative antiques and paintings.

"Wang Manshu? Why are you here?"

Ming Sicun saw Fu Junlin coming and hurriedly called out, "Junlin, come and meet your Aunt Wang!"

Fu Junlin was wearing a basketball vest and shorts, and was sweating all over. He greeted Zhou Huaiying awkwardly, "I'm so sorry, Aunt Wang, I was playing basketball and didn't see you coming."

Zhou Huaiying looked at Fu Junlin carefully and nodded repeatedly, "Good boy, you must be tired, go wash up! We often come and go, there is no need for so many etiquettes,"

Fu Jun Lin Chong and Wang Manshu nodded and this time went upstairs in two steps at a time.

Next is the appearance of a rich young man who has just taken a bath and looks refreshed.

Zhou Huaiying looked at him. He was wearing a white shirt and casual pants. He had neat short hair that was neither dyed nor permed. He had no tattoos on his body and no earrings in his ears. He looked like a good boy.

Fu Junlin saw Wang Manshu still looking at the furnishings in the living room with great interest, "Do you understand collections? That's amazing. I can't even tell if these are real or fake."

"It's not difficult, actually. If you watch it from childhood to adulthood, you will be able to see where the problem is."

"Really? So you've been in elementary school?"

Wang Manshu smiled and said, "It's not about learning. I just played with my uncles and listened to their discussions. After a long time, I understood a little bit, but I'm still far from being proficient."

"Then take a look at these things in our house to see if they are real or fake?"

Wang Manshu shook his head. "These things in your family have a clear history and have been passed down in an orderly manner. Some of them were bought at auctions. How could they be fake?"

"Among all these calligraphy and paintings, which one do you like best?"

Wang Manshu did not hesitate and pointed directly to a piece of calligraphy on the wall.
