Liu Qiqiao and Lan Xiang walked across a wall, and came directly to the old lady’s yard. The servant at the gate saw Liu Qiqiao, one pleased her, and the other passed through. The old lady’s yard is the whole The largest house in the house, facing north and south, has three large rooms on the front, a long wing room on both sides, and a large water tank in the patio. The hand-drawn travel profiles on both sides can lead to the main room. Liu Qiqiao and Lan Xiang go from there. I walked over on the left side. I just walked along. I didn’t meet a few people along the way. But the old lady has a lot of people in this yard. From time to time, there are servants and maids who have passed by. Please ask Liu Qiqiao for peace: "Hello Qiyi Niang, Qi Yiniang it is good… "
Liu Qiqiao responded one by one, and walked to the front of the main room. There were thick blue cotton curtains. Two maids stood here and saw Liu Qiqiao coming. They helped to open them. Liu Qiqiao smiled at them. Next, stepped on the threshold and walked in.
As soon as I entered, there was a blast of heating on my face.
The old lady is really warm here. Shen Yunong has always been filial. As soon as winter entered, he asked people to order two earth dragons for the old lady. A light-colored thin curtain was hung in the room, and there was a servant woman. He walked over and opened the curtain for Liu Qiqiao. Liu Qiqiao walked in. The room here was warmer. Liu Qiqiao saw that there were a lot of people in the room. He was talking and laughing, and heard the servant woman in front say: "Back Old lady, Aunt Qi is back!"
Liu Qiqiao hurriedly walked over, and the old lady's loving voice sounded: "Oh, Qiqiao is back! Come here quickly and let grandma take a good look..."
Liu Qiqiao hurriedly walked to the old lady, knelt down respectfully, and greeted the old lady.
There are quite a few people in Mrs. Shen's house. Mrs. Shen is sitting aside, Miss Shen and Shen Xiurong are also sitting here, and the second aunt, and her two daughters, Shen Nian Ci and Shen Nian En.
They looked at Liu Qiqiao together, and saw her in a light purple dress with a slightly pink face, small and delicate. What surprised them most was that Liu Qiqiao’s temperament from top to bottom was originally timid and timid. It was gone, she knelt there generously, after asking Ann, raised her head, the self-confidence in her eyes gave her a pretty face and a different kind of brilliance.
Mrs. Shen was a little uncomfortable. She was raised by the talents of the Shen family. This woman seemed to have changed since she got married. Doesn't it explain the problem that she is wearing the whole body now? Hmph, it seems like her son and mother-in-law are holding her up, nothing makes her ignorant of the world.
Ms. Shen Xiurong looked at Liu Qiqiao with envy. If I could also be like Qi Yiniang, I could learn from my brother to do business like a man, how good would it be!
The second sister-in-law just hugged her pair of daughters and watched Liu Qiqiao smiling. She was said to be a good person by others, and that she had no temper, and she also had no lofty ambitions. In this life, she only hopes to be so mediocre. Just live on peacefully.
Regardless of everyone's thoughts, the old lady Shen smiled and said, "Okay, okay, get up quickly, you are not tired on this road, Qinglian, give Qiqiao a bowl of the freshly cooked lily porridge, and give it to her Get rid of the cold, come here, and sit here with grandma!"
Liu Qiqiao saluted, walked to the old lady Shen, was grabbed by the old lady, and sat down.
Mrs. Shen has been taking good care of her in the countryside recently, she has become more prosperous, her round and fat face has become whiter, her eyes are smiling, and she looks at Liu Qiqiao with joy. Liu Qiqiao saw that the black satin outerwear worn by Mrs. Shen was the silk and satin he had brought back last time. It was embroidered with the pattern of hundreds of children and thousands of grandchildren. It can be seen that Mrs. Shen liked it very much. I think you seem to be a little fatter!" Liu Qiqiao laughed.
"Hahaha, even Qiao'er said that I am fat. It seems that my old lady is really fat. No wonder I get fat. I am here every day, except for eating and sleeping. The so-called heart is wide and the body is fat, you and Shen'er If you can do it, I'm relieved, this Yuyuan is going to get married, and I can be considered a heart disease. From then on, I will be more comfortable, just waiting for you to open up the branches and leaves of our old Shen family. , Tim Ding imported..." Mrs. Shen smiled.
Liu Qiqiao tilted her head slightly, and smiled: "Grandma said that this country is played by our juniors, so you can sit here firmly and command us!"
Mrs. Shen patted Liu Qiqiao’s hand: "Okay, okay, I’m just waiting for your good news. I know that you have taken care of the shops very well now. When Nong'er came back, he said that you are preparing for the opening. Firm, this is really a great thing. We have to let outsiders take a look and disappoint those who are waiting to see our jokes. Our Shen family will get better and better!"
It's rare that the old man still has such anger. Liu Qiqiao covered his mouth and smiled: "We will naturally get better and better. Also, grandma, you can't just sit here, you have to be my master, Xianggong said. When he was a student, you brought it out. I want my grandma to teach me more..."
Mrs. Shen nodded excitedly: "Okay, you girl is clever looking at it. At that time, Nang'er was naughty, but she was beaten. You, you will be better than him!"
They joked like this, while Shen Xiurong smiled and interjected: "Grandma, then you have to teach me too!"
She was originally to join in the fun, but she also said what was in her heart. Madam Shen, who didn't want to side, sank her face and coldly reprimanded her daughter: "Xiu Rong, what are you fooling around, how can a good lady go out? Publicity!"
Listening to Madam Shen’s attitude, Liu Qiqiao only smiled, no longer speaking, just as he hadn’t heard. Old Madam Shen couldn’t help but want to say something, but Liu Qiqiao smiled and said: " By the way, grandma, I'll bring you some fresh things. Let's see if you like it!" After that, she turned her face at Lan Xiang, and Lan Xiang hurriedly held up what she had taken.
An exquisite makeup box, rare golden nanmu, carved on all sides, with gold inlaid on the corners, not big or small, was placed on the Kang table in front of Mrs. Shen.
Mrs. Shen knew that this makeup box was a rare thing when she saw it, and she didn’t know what it contained, but the workmanship and material of this makeup box were already very rare: “It’s hard for you child, every time you come back, you still bring it with you. It's so considerate to please me with things!"
Liu Qiqiao smiled, grabbing the hand of the veil, and carefully unscrewing the delicate little golden lock in front of the makeup box.
With a click, Suo opened, Liu Qiqiao carefully opened the makeup box.
Inside is a pair of jade-colored balls.
"What is this?" I thought it was jewelry or ornaments, but she didn't expect these two things, Mrs. Shen asked in surprise.
Liu Qiqiao smiled and took it out.
When they were taken out, these two things, which were made of unknown material, made a clanging sound, which was very clear and sweet. "Old lady, hold them and give them a try!"
Mrs. Shen took it over: "Oh, it's a bit cold!"
The material of this ball is like jade, but harder than jade, Mrs. Shen really didn't see it.
Liu Qiqiao smiled and said: "I bought this from the Westerners. They said that they often fiddled with it, it has the effect of activating and channeling, I will show you it!"
After that, Liu Qiqiao took it over, two jade balls in her hands, making her play around, and the two balls collided together and clinked, which was really interesting.
"It's that simple, grandma, try..." Liu Qiqiao said, returning the two jade balls back to Mrs. Shen's hands.
Mrs. Shen took it and turned it around in her hand. At first she was a little rusty, but then she got better and better. She felt slumped in her heart, but it didn't take much effort. The jade was cool and moist, and it took a long time to turn. But instead of freezing his hands, he screamed with both hands, "It's really good, it's hard for you to have this mind, and you can get this pair of babies!" Mrs. Shen said happily, and handed it to Mrs. Shen again: "you try?"
Madam Shen was quite disdainful, but she was not good enough not to give Madam Shen face, so she waved her hand: "No, no, I'm stupid, I'm afraid I will fall to the ground, don't break it!"
But Shen Xiurong on one side wanted to try: "Grandma, I want to try..."
"Okay, here you are, don't drop it to me!" Mrs. Shen handed it to Shen Xiurong with a baby.
Shen Xiurong has seen a lot of new things since she was a child. I have never seen this one before. She got it and soon became proficient. She was very happy. Liu Qiqiao smiled and said, "This is for grandma. , You kid, it’s not useful, I have something more fun here! Wait a while, you go and fetch it!"
"Really? Thank you Qiyi Niang!" Shen Xiurong had enough play and handed the jade ball back to Mrs. Shen.
Liu Qiqiao could talk freely with others, but she was a little timid when facing her mother-in-law, because Madam Shen never gave her a good face.
But, she also wanted to try. She turned to Lanxiang Nunu.
Lan Xiang came up, Liu Qiqiao put a smile on his face, and said to Madam Shen: "Madam, I also prepared a gift for Madam here, but I don't know if I can't enter Madam's eyes!"
While the old lady Shen knew that she was deliberately trying to please her mother-in-law, she talked to her and smiled: "You clever ghost, what time did you give out something that is unpleasant, take it out quickly, and let my old woman also Open your eyes."
Liu Qiqiao smiled gently, took a silk bag from Lan Xiang, and took out something from it. Everyone looked at it and their eyes lit up. The best fur should be mink velvet, a whole piece, snow-white and snow-white, which is oddly cut into a vest.
"The Xianggong once said that as soon as winter comes, the wife will cough easily, and her back hurts. It turns out that the root of the disease fell after he and Xiurong's sister were born when he was young. I heard that this is extremely warm, so let people get it. Come in one piece, I sew it by myself. I don’t know if it’s suitable or not. This can be worn inside, and it’s not bloated. Madam, would you like to try it!"
When Madam Shen saw the vest, she felt very agreeable. She did give birth to two children when she was young, and some root causes were left behind. But this thing was given by Liu Qiqiao, which made her feel a little hesitated. For a while, she was stunned and didn't say anything. Good or not.
