Wen Tingzhou heard a trace of dissatisfaction in his mother's words, and didn't care about the maidservant mothers around him, and stepped forward to hold Mrs. Wen's arm intimately.
"What are you doing, don't think that I will expose this matter just by being coquettish."
Mrs. Wen snorted heavily.
The maids and mothers around were all Mrs. Wen's confidantes. Seeing Mrs. Wen's face like this, they all lowered their heads and snickered in unison.
Wen Tingzhou didn't care. He had a slight smile on his brows and spoke softly.
"Mother, I didn't tell you about this, am I afraid that you will say that I am not doing my job properly and delay my study?"
"Really?" Mrs. Wen was full of disbelief, "Then tell me when you learned woodcarving?"
Wen Tingzhou took Mrs. Wen's arm and sat down beside Mrs. Wen, telling a white lie: "Three years ago, I learned it when I went on a study tour."
In fact, he started learning woodcarving from Master Wu when he was six years old, and he learned it intermittently for nearly ten years.
Mrs. Wen was taken aback. She remembered that Tingzhou had to know the name of Yuantou at that time. The old man didn't let him participate in the Spring Festival next year, but directly asked Tingzhou to go out to study for two years.
Unexpectedly, Tingzhou secretly learned carpentry.
"You can make such an exquisite small attic after only three years of study. It seems that you have put a lot of thought into it. Have you forgotten the upcoming test?"
Mrs. Wen is angry and has a bad taste. Tingzhou will take part in the examination after Mrs. Wen's birthday, and she will focus on the love of her children. It's no wonder Mrs. Wen is not angry.
This year's examination was held in late April, because all the adult princes were enshrined in Kaienke years ago, and there were countless candidates who came to the capital to participate in the examination. Everyone was preparing for the examination. Only Tingzhou often Write and communicate with Miss Ruan Si.
It's nothing, no one has a time to relax, and it's rare for the son and his future daughter-in-law to have a good relationship, but Tingzhou quietly made an exquisite small attic for Fourth Miss Ruan.
Mrs. Wen was immediately unhappy.
To put it bluntly, Mrs. Wen was just jealous and blocked. She felt that her son was raised for nothing, and he would try something. If he passed the exam, it would be the icing on the cake. If he didn't win the Wen family's power, he could get a good official position. She didn't really care much about it. .
It's just that Mrs. Wen needs this raft now. After saying this, she shook off her son's hand vigorously, indicating that she is very angry now.
Wen Tingzhou continued to pull on.
Mrs. Wen shook off again.
After going back and forth several times, Mrs. Wen lost her temper after being tortured by her son, and gave him an angry look.
"How old are you, and you still use this trick for me. Let me tell you, it's useless to act like a baby without giving me a reasonable explanation."
The surrounding maids and mothers held back their laughter and left.
Who would have thought that Mr. Wen would look like this in front of Mrs. Wen when he was outside in a beautiful and gentle manner.
"Mother, don't be angry. Don't you know your son's strength? It's easy to pass the high school exam."
Wen Tingzhou blinked.
"Hmph!" Mrs. Wen snorted coldly, but her face softened a lot. This is the truth, her son is her pride and greatest confidence.
"Mother, in fact, for the past three years, I have secretly made wooden hairpins for you every year. If you don't believe me, I will ask Zhang Qing to send over the box containing the wooden hairpins." Wen Tingzhou saw that his mother still hadn't calmed down. No matter how vague he was, he played his last hole card.
When Mrs. Wen heard this, her brows and eyes relaxed, and there was a smile on her face, but she said insistently: "Who knows if you were made by that girl Ruan Xi to fool me."
Wen Tingzhou laughed: "Mother, don't worry, there are small characters engraved on each wooden hairpin, you will know when you look carefully."
Mrs. Wen was really happy now. She didn't think her son would deceive her about it, so she stopped eating it, thinking that her son had a wife and forgot his mother.
She smiled and urged, "Hurry up and get someone to bring it over."
Wen Tingzhou nodded quickly in response, and sent someone to tell Zhang Qing to bring the mahogany box in the study to the main courtyard.
About a cup of tea, Zhang Qing carried a mahogany box in, out of breath.
Wen Tingzhou took it for a look and found that there was no mistake, so he handed the mahogany box to Mrs. Wen.
"Mother, this is the wooden hairpin my son made for you. I hope you don't dislike it."
Mrs. Wen took the mahogany box expectantly and opened it. Inside were three delicate, elegant, smooth and delicate ebony hairpins.
Qifeng hairpin, Ruyi hairpin, Yanluo Pingsha hairpin.
The workmanship of each hairpin is extremely exquisite. If the son hadn't said that he made it by himself, Mrs. Wen would have thought that some master made it.
"This hairpin is not bad. I didn't expect my son to have a talent for carpentry."
After Mrs. Wen was surprised, she picked up the Ruyi hairpin and looked carefully, and she saw a small inscription somewhere on the hairpin——Happy birthday to my mother, and the same is true for the remaining two hairpins.
Mrs. Wen immediately smiled, fondling the hairpin in her hand fondly.
"Okay, you go back to the yard for dinner. By the way, your grandmother's birthday is coming soon. I don't know if Ruanxi girl has any jewelry in her hand. Mama Zhao, go to the warehouse and get a set of red gold head jewelry to send to Uncle Chengyi." government."
Mother Zhao responded with a smile.
"Yes, ma'am."
Wen Tingzhou was happy that his mother attached great importance to Ruan Ruan, and once again took Mrs. Wen's arm, but pretended to be appreciative.
"Mother, you are so kind to Ruan Ruan, I'm going to be jealous!"
Mrs. Wen patted his hand angrily and amusedly: "Stop being coquettish, go back and eat quickly, don't be hungry."
Only then did Wen Tingzhou let go and leave.
After leaving the main courtyard, Zhang Qing looked at the gentle and elegant young master with admiration on his face, and secretly thought, the young master is really powerful, he can make his wife happy with just a few strokes.
…
Ruan Xi didn't know that her fiancé Wen Tingzhou once again solved the little problem that she and Mrs. Wen, the future mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, had just had. At this time, she was being summoned by the old lady to Ningshou Hall.
"Si girl, it will be Mrs. Wen's birthday in a few days. I asked someone to pick out two pieces of excellent material to make you two brand new dresses."
The old lady kindly looked at the growing fourth granddaughter, said with a smile on her face, and then asked her mother to hold out the two sets of dresses.
Exquisite and gorgeous and atmospheric.
"Granddaughter thanked the old lady." Ruan Xi blessed her body, her beautiful face was full of joy.
"With new clothes, the jewelry you wear can't be sloppy." The old lady attached great importance to her fourth granddaughter's participation in Mrs. Wen's birthday banquet.
Ruan Xi smiled and said, "Old lady, you have given your granddaughter a lot of precious jewelry, and your granddaughter can choose a decent set of jewelry to wear."
The old lady thought that she had already given her fourth granddaughter a set of the most precious gem-inlaid jewelry, and there was no more precious jewelry on hand, so she gave up.
At this time, a servant girl came in and reported: "To the old lady, Mrs. Wen sent someone to send something to Miss Fourth."
Ruan Xi was taken aback for a moment, obviously not knowing why Mrs. Wen gave the gift suddenly.
The old lady squinted her eyes, and there was a faint guess in her heart. She looked at her fourth granddaughter with a smile.
"Get someone over here quickly."
The person who came to give the gift was a mother with a kind face. She saluted the old lady and said with a smile.
"I am Mrs. Zhao who is by Madam's side. Madam knew that Miss Ruan Si was going to attend the old lady's birthday banquet, so she ordered me to send a set of jewelry."
As soon as these words came out, Ruan Xi's eyes were filled with joy, and she quickly said: "This great gift came in time, Mama Zhao, please thank Madam for me."
The old lady's eyebrows and eyes were full of joy, and she said with a smile: "Mrs. Wen has a heart."
I knew that my fourth granddaughter was approved by Mrs. Wen, but I didn't expect Mrs. Wen to be so caring about her granddaughter.
Her fourth granddaughter is really blessed.
After Ruan Xi accepted the jewelry box, Mother Zhao retreated and returned to her command.
The old lady was very interested in the jewelry Mrs. Wen gave, and said with a smile: "Si girl, open the box quickly, and let me, a grandmother, see what jewelry Mrs. Wen gave you."
Ruan Xi pursed her lips and smiled, and opened the box.
What caught the eye was the dazzling light emitted by more than a dozen gemstones and red gold jewelry.
The eyes of the maids and mothers in the room all fell on the box, and they could hardly move their eyes away.
Ruan Xi's eyes were full of astonishment.
This is a set of red gold head and face jewelry made by the imperial palace. It is ingenious and exquisite. The inlaid gemstones are huge and clear, valuable and extremely precious.
The old lady was also shocked, it turned out to be imperial jewelry made by the palace, Madam Wen's handiwork is so great.
It was also inlaid jewellery, compared with the set she gave to her fourth granddaughter, it paled in comparison.
…
Not long after Ruan Xi left Ningshou Hall with the jewelry box in his arms, with the tacit consent of the old lady, the news that Mrs. Wen sent Fourth Miss the royal jewelry in the palace spread quickly, and soon spread to the noble daughter who came to visit Ruan Sanniang In their ears, their hearts were sour, and they were full of envy and jealousy.
First, Mr. Wen gave him the small attic that he made by himself, and then Mrs. Wen gave him jewelry. Miss Ruan Si is really lucky.
Especially those who are also engaged in marriage, wish their future mother-in-law is Mrs. Wen.
It's true that people are more popular than people.
Li Xiangxiang, who was imprisoned and finally bowed his head to compromise, was sad when he heard the news.
She could only comfort herself that the fourth prince is actually better, his status is higher than Brother Wen's, maybe he will be in that position, and she will have a day as the mother of the world.
It's just that I can't calm down in my heart.
Which woman doesn't want her future husband to be devoted to her.
Of course, Li Xiangxiang was only reconciled in his heart, she and Brother Wen had no chance, how could she be so stupid as to lose the chance to be a concubine again.
Besides Li Xiangxiang, Ruan Sanniang also soon learned of the news, her face was cloudy and her eyes were red with jealousy.
For a moment, Ruan Sanniang had a vicious thought, she wanted to spread the news that the fourth sister had taken sterilization pills.
But when she thought of her wonderful mother, Ruan Sanniang had no choice but to suppress this thought.
Yaohong: "..."
The young lady gets angry every time she hears good news about the fourth young lady.
Now the young lady is changing more and more, she almost wonders if the young lady is possessed by dirty things, the madam is also strange, always secretly telling her to stimulate the young lady more.
Yaohong didn't understand and didn't struggle, she decided to tell the young lady the good news to make the young lady happy.
"Miss, I heard that Second Master Qi not only bought your script to give away generously, but also told people everywhere that your script is wonderful and beautiful."
"Miss, Second Master Qi is showing his affection to you."
Although there was some unpleasantness last time, Master Qi Er didn't pursue it, but the young lady got into a temper somehow, stopped mentioning Master Qi Er, chatted with the noble lady who came to visit every day, and seemed to forget Er Gong Qi back.
Yaohong couldn't help feeling anxious.
Thinking of Mr. Qi's handsome face, her cheeks warmed slightly, and she didn't want any accidents to happen to the marriage between the young lady and Mr. Qi.
After all, Miss has a criminal record of regretting marriage.
