Lian Fangzhou worked so hard so that the cotton could be processed as quickly as possible once it was harvested.
Three days after Cui Shaoxi and Su Xin'er left, someone from the Su family in Shuangliu County came.
It turned out to be Li Ma who was next to Fang Qing, with two ordinary servants.
Lian Fangzhou was startled when he saw her, and immediately understood the reason for the two points in his heart, he hurriedly smiled and welcomed her into the door.
Li's mother smiled and saluted, "Miss Lian!", and saw Grandma Sangu, Lian Fangqing, etc. one by one, and the two servants who followed each held two gift boxes in their hands, put them on the table respectfully and retreated to Li. behind mom.
Li Ma then smiled and said to Lian Fangzhou: "Young Madam specially ordered the old slave to come to pay my respects to the girl. The gift is so small, and I ask the girl to accept it with a smile!"
Although the situation of the Lian family and the Su family could not be said to be courteous, but since the gift was delivered to the door, Lian Fangzhou naturally had no reason to refuse, so he smiled and thanked him for accepting it.
Li Ma hurriedly smiled and said: "When the old slave came, the young lady specially prepared a set of high-quality four treasures of the study and a set of head and face jewelry with red gold inlaid with caterpillar fungus. They were specially given to the third son and fourth girl. I haven't seen the third son and the fourth girl before, the four treasures of the study are to congratulate the third son on going to school, and the jewelry is for the fourth girl to wear and play with!"
"Cousin is really considerate, and she is too polite!" Lian Fangzhou smiled and ordered Lian Fangqing to come up to express his thanks, and then said with a smile: "Che'er is still in the school right now, so I thanked him on his behalf! What are you waiting for?" When the time is free, I must take them to visit my cousin!"
Li Ma hurriedly agreed with a smile, praised Lian Fangqing, and said: "The old slave will report to the Young Madam when he returns, and the Young Madam will definitely like it!"
After exchanging some pleasantries, Mama Li laughed again: "This old slave still has a few words from the young lady to tell the girl..."
Seeing this, Lian Fangzhou asked the third aunt to take Lian Fangqing to the kitchen to boil some hot water to make tea.
Grandma Sangu likes to see the clothes and behavior of people from rich families the most—except for Magpie, even Fangzhou asked her to go to the kitchen to boil water, and her eyeballs are not bad, muttering: "There is still hot water, and there is still hot water." …”
On the contrary, Lian Fangqing was not as clever as Lian Fangqing, who smiled and called "Grandma Sangu" and forced her away.
The two servants who followed Li Ma also retreated and stood guard at the door.
Li Ma stood up, gave Lian Fangzhou a salute and said solemnly: "Miss Lian, what happened to our eldest lady a few days ago... I'm really sorry! Please also Miss Lian, because of her young age. Compromise with her! Our young lady has always been—"
Li Ma gave Lian Fangzhou a difficult smile, she is a servant, Fang Qing is a sister-in-law, so it is inconvenient to blame Su Xiner.
How could Lian Fangzhou not know
Even if Fang Qing didn't send someone to come this time, she had nothing to say, let alone sent the most useful mother around her
"Mother Li, please don't be like this!" Lian Fangzhou said with a quick smile, "Miss Su is innocent and outspoken. In fact, she doesn't mean anything malicious. Why don't I know? How could I care about her!"
Li Ma then laughed and said: "My young lady also said the same thing, that Miss Lian, you are a magnanimous person!" After a pause, she said, "Young lady has a few words for Miss Lian, which also belong to our young master. The meaning is in it, it is said that Master Cui's family has already told them about the matter, and they also think it is an excellent idea. If the girl is free for two days, why not go to our house, and we will discuss it in detail when we meet. ... These are the original words of the young lady, and the young lady said that even the girl will understand."
Of course Lian Fangzhou understood what this meant, so she couldn't help smiling, and she was very happy in her heart.
The Su family is the richest man in Shuangliu County, and if they join in, this matter will go much smoother!
"Do my cousin and my cousin's husband think this is a good idea? It's really great!" Lian Fangzhou smiled and said, "It's a pity that I haven't been free for a few days, and I can't put down a lot of things. Please go back and talk to my cousin and my cousin. The brother-in-law said, let’s just say that we should think about each other first. After a few days, we will find a free time to go there. Wouldn’t it be better for everyone to get together and discuss with each other? Please reply to my cousin, Cousin-in-law, I will definitely go!"
"Yes, the old slave will report back to the young lady according to Miss Lian's instructions when I go back!" Lian Fangzhou said something, and Li Ma hurriedly wrote it down secretly. She didn't know exactly what these words meant or what they referred to, and she only knew what Fang Qing ordered her to pass on, but she didn't understand what it was.
After she had spoken clearly, Li Ma got up and left with a smile.
Even Fangzhou didn't stay any longer, and politely sent the three of them out, master and servant.
When Grandma Sangu and Lian Fangqing came from the kitchen with the boiled kettle, Mama Li had already been there for a while.
"Let's go now? It made me boil the water for nothing!" The third aunt's grandmother was full of regrets, and she sighed to Lian Fangzhou with a smile: "It's just that the people from this big family are different. They are just servants. Dare to underestimate it!"
Lian Fangzhou smiled, "This is the most useful mother around my cousin, and her status is naturally extraordinary. She is said to be a servant, but she is actually served by a girl, she can be regarded as half of the master!"
The third aunt suddenly realized: "No wonder!"
After sighing a few words, she threw it away again, staring at the presents, Lian Fangzhou smiled and opened them together with her and Lian Fangqing, except for the two gifts for Lian Che and Lian Fangqing, the rest were the same as before , are all things such as clothes rulers, exquisite palace flowers piled up with yarn, small purses, etc., but this time, apart from these, there are also several pieces of very good quality hairpin jewelry and a few pieces of jade pendants made of white jade and sapphire.
The third aunt's eyes lit up when she saw it, and she took a gold hairpin with a squirrel grape pattern on the head, and kept boasting about its uniqueness, then laughed: "Your cousin is really generous! These things are worth it, worth it!" A - how much silver?"
Grandma Sangu felt that she couldn't figure it out, so she simply asked Lian Fangzhou.
Even Fangzhou didn't know, but I was afraid that there were seven or eight hundred taels, and she knew why her cousin gave such a heavy gift.
She didn't answer Sangu's grandma's words, but just smiled and said, "If you like this gold hairpin, I will give it to you! But I have a saying that Sangu grandma must remember. That day the eldest lady of the Su family said in our yard If you have ever heard of it, you have never heard it, and you are not allowed to say a word outside, understand?"
Although this is Yuhe County, it is not far from Shuangliu County after all, so those words are not very pleasant to hear.
"Qing'er, and you." Lian Fangzhou looked at Lian Fangqing, who was playing with the fungus fungus, and said with a smile, "Do you remember? What happened that day, you are not allowed to say a word."
"Don't worry, sister, that beautiful sister is so fierce, and she keeps saying that she dislikes our dirty house, so I won't say it!" Lian Fangqing curled her lips.
After all, she was still young, so she didn't understand Su Xiner's words about being jealous.
The third aunt thought about it, and she understood with an "ah", and suddenly said, "So it's a hush money!"
