On the other side, Mrs. Bai spared Adjutant Sun's errand, rested in the living room for a while, and brought two boxes of gifts to the Commander's house.

She was very familiar with this place, and after entering the gate, she asked the servant, and knowing that the eldest lady was in the little flower hall where she always stayed, she went straight to the little flower hall.

There was a charcoal stove burning in the flower hall, and thick felt hung from the windows on all sides. As soon as Mrs. Bai walked in, she felt warm immediately. While taking off her fur shawl, she smiled to the eldest wife, "You really know how to enjoy yourself."

After lunch, the eldest lady was leaning on a recliner and dozing off for a while. Hearing her voice, she opened her eyes and said, "It's so cold, what are you doing here?"

Mrs. Bai said, "Xuelan brought some things for his uncle and aunt. He was going to come here in person. I think he has a lot of things to do. Why don't I come here? It's boring at this time of year, just to talk to you. Talk about family life."

With that said, he sat down at the table.

The eldest wife also got up from the reclining chair, sat with her and said, "The child has come back from a long distance, the journey is not easy, why bother asking him to bring something?"

Mrs. Bai said, "It's just a courtesy."

The footman had brought the teapot and cups, and poured hot tea for the two of them.

Mrs. Bai ordered the two men who came with her to put the boxes on the ground, and opened one first to see that they were all foreign laces, silver rings, pearl necklaces, gold and silver jewelry and other items used by female relatives.

I picked up a few novelties and put them on the table for my sister-in-law to enjoy.

Later, I saw another small sandalwood box in the corner below the box. The top was cut into a small piece with silk and satin, with a few words written on it, and tied to the box.

When Mrs. Bai was at her own home, she had never looked at every box carefully. Now she took a look at the piece of silk on the box, and Fang smiled, "This is brought back by your family Min Xintuo Xuelan for you."

Opening the box, it was even more dazzling. They were all valuable jewelry, at least seventeen or eighteen pieces.

Mrs. Bai couldn't help but said, "Min Xin still remembers to prepare these for you because of his official duties, which shows that he really has you in his heart."

The eldest lady smiled faintly, "It's okay. Like you said, it's just a courtesy. Now that his father is still here, he naturally has to show respect to me, my aunt, and speaking of his own..."

Suddenly the door curtain moved slightly, and someone outside lifted the curtain, and a beautiful woman in her [-]s and [-]s came in, but it was Ding, the third housekeeper of the commander in chief.

The eldest lady stopped talking halfway, looked at Aunt Ding and asked, "What's the matter with you?"

Aunt Ding fucked Su Bai, and said with a smile, "Don't worry about anything, I heard that the third wife is here, so I want to say hello."

Then he said hello to Mrs. Bai, walked to the table, touched the teacup on the table, "The tea is cold, I'll give you two a hot cup."

First refilled a cup for the eldest lady, then poured out the half-warm tea in front of Mrs. Bai, refilled a cup, and handed it over with both hands.

Mrs. Bai took the cup and said, "Just ask the servants to pour it, why do you have to come?"

Aunt Ding replied softly, "In front of your wives, aren't we the servants? If I don't serve you, then I don't know what to do."

The eldest lady smiled and said to Mrs. Bai, "Don't underestimate her. She was honest when she first entered the door, but now she is also naughty. It is you, me, and us who talk to me on weekdays. Do you think she is really here to say hello to you?" ? She has clairvoyance, so she knows that you will be lucky when you come here. It seems that I can't keep the idea that Xuelan brought back."

Aunt Ding said, "Ah, ma'am, don't look down on people. I'm so shallow-sighted? I've been with the commander for nearly 20 years. I've never eaten pork, and I've seen pigs run away. If I keep seeing like this, I won't be able to see the world. Say, your wife's face will be disgraceful first."

The eldest lady said, "Listen, that's an understatement. I said she's not easy to mess with."

Aunt Ding asked Mrs. Bai for help, "Third Madam, please tell me something fair. I called into this room, did you say anything provocative?"

Mrs. Bai said with a smile to the eldest lady, "It's because you are usually generous. The aunts and wives are not afraid of you. If you treat them harshly, how can you be so lively in front of you. I know your rules. If you have something, you will always give it to them. Since the division is about to be made, and it is necessary to say these things verbally, it is just for fun and to pass the time."

The eldest wife sighed, "You always know my heart."

Just as he was talking, there was the faint sound of high heels knocking on the floor.

After a while, the door curtain was lifted, and three or four gorgeous women came in one after another, almost all the concubines of the commander in chief rushed over.

When they entered the door, they all said hello in a hurry.

The eldest lady smiled, "It's good if they're all here, so I won't have to call for someone. All the delivered things are here, and you can pick the one you like when you see it."

When she said this, everyone was embarrassed and stood upright with a smile on their faces.

It was Auntie Ding who spoke first, and asked tentatively, "Did Madam choose?"

The eldest wife said, "When I'm old, do I want these colorful things to be fairies? In the past years, the commander gave them, and their brothers are also very filial. I keep those for thinking, and I feel that the jewelry box is not enough. Now I want these again, and there is no place to put them. If I ask you to choose, you can just choose, what are you talking about. Do I want to talk politely to you first? "

So everyone went forward, looking at the table full of earrings, bead chains, bracelets, and jewel hairpins, their eyes were dazzled.

Pick up this one to have a look, pick up that one and touch it.

Love this and like that.

The eldest wife and Mrs. Bai watched them choose while sipping tea comfortably, and occasionally mentioned something, "Aunt Lu, I remember that the pink satin shirt you made this year is not missing a string of beads to match it? The gemstone chain is a nice color."

It took less than half an hour to choose east and west, and then I had a choice.

The eldest lady watched coldly, and each of them picked two or three pieces of jewelry from Bai Xuelan. Among the four or five pieces left, there was one of the most expensive diamond necklaces, which no one dared to take. The ones she kept, it can be seen that everyone knows how to measure, so they asked Aunt Ding, "Do you want these two? Why don't you choose one for your Biman?"

Aunt Ding said with a smile, "She is already married, can I still care about what she wears?"

The eldest wife said, "Mothers, their sons and daughters are still in their hearts when they are a hundred years old. You choose one for her, so that when you go to see her at Zhen's house, she will also be happy."

Aunt Ding said, "My wife loves Biman so much, I have nothing to say. I thank my wife for Biman."

As he spoke, his eyes swept over the table, and he happily put away a pair of red jadeite drop earrings.

Mrs. Bai looked around and asked, "Why don't you see Aunt Mei?"

The eldest wife said, "You don't know her yet? She loves reciting Buddha's name and meditating more than I do. She might not be willing to run here for something."

So I have to ring the bell to call a servant to call Aunt Mei.

Aunt Ding said, "There's no need for a servant, I'll fetch her."

After speaking, he left like a gust of wind.

After a while, a woman who was nearly 50 years old and wearing plain blue clothes was found.

Aunt Mei greeted Mrs. Bai first, then looked at the eldest lady and asked, "Madam looking for me?"

The eldest wife said, "Xuelan from the third family has sent some things, and these are yours."

Gather up the remaining pieces of jewelry on the table and hand them over to her.

Aunt Mei glanced around and saw what the other aunts were holding, so she smiled and said, "Madam knows what I like, and these two black agate ones are what I like very much. The diamond ones, as soon as I come here, I like them." I don’t have any suitable clothes to match it; secondly, I don’t know the sparkle of diamonds at all. If I take it, it’s useless, so don’t take it.”

Gently place the diamond necklace back on the table.

The eldest lady smiled and said, "I just told the third wife that Aunt Ding is getting more and more naughty. Now I can't help but want to reprimand you. You are too cautious and cautious. When it comes to entering the door, you are earlier than them , why are you so sad, slandering and cowardly? I can't do what you wish, I have to give you praise today."

The red sandalwood box that Premier Bai sent was originally closed, but she lifted the lid of the box to reveal the dazzling jewelry inside, which immediately attracted everyone's envious eyes.

The eldest wife said to Aunt Mei, "If you don't want the diamond necklace, don't let it go. This is specially sent to you by your son from the capital, and you take it all. Let's see who dares to say a word?"

Aunt Mei said, "Madam is joking like that, I don't dare to take it. If Min Xin brings anything back from the capital, it can only be brought to his wife. He was brought up by his wife. If he doesn't understand even this little bit of etiquette, he should treat it as a joke." What Prime Minister? You should ask him to farm the land."

The eldest lady said, "Come on. I will educate him for another 1 years, and he will know whose belly he came out of. If you tell you to take it, you can take it. If you are stubborn, I will get angry."

Aunt Mei couldn't say anything more, she stepped forward with a smile, and was about to hold the box with both hands, but she already held the two pieces of black agate jewelry given to her by the eldest wife.

Aunt Ding was quick-sighted, and put a few pieces of jewelry she had allocated into Aunt Lu's hand beside her, went over to cover the box, and smiled at Aunt Mei, "I'll help you."

He picked up the box.

The eldest wife and the aunts spent a long time playing games, worried that they would neglect Mrs. Bai, so they turned their heads and smiled at Mrs. Bai and said, "Look, there is such a thing in the world. If I want to give something, people still argue with me."

Mrs. Bai said, "Aunt Mei is very well-behaved. This is also the benefit of being in charge of the family. Everyone is harmonious, there is no discord between wives and concubines, and you beat and scold day and night, unlike that..."

She wanted to say that she was not like the old fifth family, but suddenly remembered that the aunts and wives were young and impetuous, and they were the most able to pass on the news, so she calmly changed the conversation and said, "It's not like that rude family outside."

The eldest wife said, "It is also their benefit to be able to live in peace and happiness. Everyone will live in peace and keep their lives."

Then he said to his aunts and wives, "It's cold, do you still have to behave? We're all gone, go find your fun."

The crowd didn't dare to leave immediately, they had fun together for a while, exchanged hot tea for the two wives again, and then went away separately.

The eldest lady waited until there was no third person in the flower hall, moved the chair slightly towards Mrs. Bai, and asked in a low voice, "Have you seen that person?"
