"Mother." Mrs. Gao San smiled and walked closer to the old lady, signaling the maid behind her to bring the flower pot over.
"I won't talk about the food. Many of them are so delicious that I have never seen them before, and you can't eat them either. I brought two pots of flowers that Madam Yan sent to you. Take a look, mother. Aren't they beautiful?"
"Ten-foot curtains and crab claws?" Old Madam Gao didn't know the varieties of chrysanthemums, but her eldest daughter-in-law, Madam Gao, did. When she saw the two plates of chrysanthemums, each with its own merits, she was slightly startled: "What does she mean by this?"
"Sister-in-law, these are just two plates of flowers, what's the point?" Mrs. Gao sat down next to Mrs. Gao: "Old lady, listen to me, General Yan's wife, tsk tsk tsk tsk... She is so pretty that even the fairies in heaven are not as pretty as her."
Mrs. Gao frowned helplessly. This third brother's wife is unreliable. Did I ask you to go to the general's mansion to see if the general's wife is pretty
Mrs. Gao held her teacup in silence. She was a concubine's daughter-in-law and had no right to speak in such occasions.
Old Madam Gao was very interested in this topic: "Is she really that pretty? You, who never speaks in a reliable way, can outshine our Sister Yu."
Yu Jie'er is the eldest wife's daughter. In her opinion, she is not as good as Chen Xiu and Chen Ya from the Chen family's side branches, not to mention General Yan's wife. She couldn't accept this, so she just smiled flatteringly and pushed Juhua in front of the old lady.
"Mother, the chrysanthemums in their house are all very beautiful. I don't recognize many of them. There are two pots of green ones. Chen Xiu said they are green peonies. Tsk, tsk, tsk... This is the first time I have seen green chrysanthemums in my life. They are like flat balls. I think that pot is more beautiful than ours. There is also a kind of black with red, which blooms beautifully. Old lady, how come black chrysanthemums are so beautiful?"
The old lady didn't say anything, and Mrs. Gao took over: "General Yan's mansion is so grand, there are green peonies, black chrysanthemums, and ten-foot curtains can be given away casually. It's really a great fortune."
Madam Gao San quickly replied, "She is General Yan's wife. I heard that the dowry was prepared in several parts. One part was prepared by the Su family, one part was prepared by the Queen Mother, and General Yan also prepared one part. Do you think this is a marriage for a daughter-in-law or a daughter? She has no money. I'm afraid there are few rich people in the whole summer night."
She was full of energy today, representing the Gao family to the General's Mansion. Normally, she would never get such a chance to be in the limelight. Unfortunately, the Chen and Lu families all went to the side branches, and only the Gao family sent her, the third wife of the direct line. Everyone had to obey her. Marrying into the Gao family, today was her proudest day.
Mrs. Gao interrupted her unhappily and asked, "Third sister-in-law, didn't you see who was there and what they said?"
Mrs. Gao was unhappy when she saw her eldest daughter-in-law's serious look. Although the third daughter-in-law was born inferior to her and was not as sophisticated as her in words and deeds, she was no worse than her in other aspects. She just couldn't stand her eldest daughter-in-law's ladylike demeanor.
"Eldest wife, if you are busy, go ahead and do your work. I have the third wife here to chat with me."
"Yes." Mrs. Gao stood up and said goodbye.
She was so anxious that she went to discuss it with her son.
In the Gao family, the old lady is unreliable, and neither are the master and his brothers. The only one she can count on is her eldest son who has already grown up!
As soon as Mrs. Gao left, the room was immediately filled with laughter, which made the figure of Mrs. Gao, who left in a hurry, look even more lonely and desolate.
