"Sisters-in-law, I'm sorry for you. I brought back some Yunzhou specialties from Yunzhou and wanted to show them to my sisters-in-law." Chen Jinghuai then asked his own soldiers to bring gifts.
What he gave to his sister-in-law was a small string of Buddhist beads made from ancient wood and agarwood. The well-polished beads seemed to be expensive. This sister-in-law believed in Buddhism, so how could she not be happy when she saw this object, but she still nagged her. He muttered, "I'm afraid this thing is not cheap. Third brother, it's not my sister-in-law who is telling you that although you haven't gotten married yet, you are still at the age when you should get married. You should save some money in the future. This Buddha bead It’s expensive at first glance, what does our family spend so much money on?”
The second sister-in-law came to Chen Jinghuai's rescue with a smile and said, "Look at what my sister-in-law said. Isn't this what Brother Jing meant? Since you have accepted the gift, you won't be able to say a good word."
The eldest sister-in-law of the Chen family only frowned slightly when she heard this, but in the end she said nothing.
Chen Jinghuai only said, "I know that the two sisters-in-law are all for my own good, but sisters-in-law don't have to worry about the price of this gift. In fact, there are many rare goods in Yunzhou that we talked about in Beijing, such as ancient wood, agarwood, and fur materials." It’s a specialty over there, but the price of these things is much cheaper in Yunzhou, but it’s just because of the long journey that the price has doubled.”
After hearing what Chen Jinghuai said, the sister-in-law naturally stopped talking.
Then Chen Jinghuai brought out another piece of white fox fur and handed it to his second sister-in-law. This second sister-in-law already liked these luxurious things, and the fur of this white fox fur was soft and extremely comfortable to the touch, even though the material was bulky. If you wear it in the winter, the scenery will be endless.
Seeing this gift, she was naturally very happy. She and the Chen family's sister-in-law didn't have the same temperament. At that moment, she just accepted Chen Jinghuai's gift generously and said some flattering words, praising her brother-in-law. He has a good eye and knows how to pick things.
But then the words came to Song Chuchu.
She just smiled and teased, "Brother Jing, don't bother saying goodbye to us. In this way, you are neglecting the charming guest next to you. You have to introduce me to who this girl is." ?”
Naturally, her words were just words. In fact, she had noticed this girl for a long time, but she was originally waiting for Chen Jinghuai to introduce her to her.
After all, she was not sure who this girl was, and she was still in charge of the Chen family.
Naturally, she had to find out who this girl was, so that she could treat this charming guest according to the rules.
Chen Jinghuai didn't want to just talk to them, but he had no intention of introducing this girl to him.
Seeing that the second sister-in-law of the Chen family only focused on herself, Song Chuchu naturally smiled, but she was rarely quiet for a moment.
Although she wanted to tell the two sisters-in-law directly that she was Chen Jinghuai's fiancée.
But right now, she still wants to hear Chen Jinghuai say these words himself.
Coupled with this period of time, Chen Jinghuai seems to be less resistant to himself.
And after getting off the carriage just now, he didn't refute his words.
Therefore, she only looked at Chen Jinghuai expectantly, but Chen Jinghuai said, "She is the... sweetheart of a friend of mine. My friend was worried that she would not adapt to life in Yunzhou, so he asked me to bring her to Shangjing." After a while, my friend's relatives will come to pick her up, so my sister-in-law doesn't have to worry about it."
Upon hearing what Chen Jinghuai said, Chen Changnian was surprised for a moment, but after she realized what she was doing, she couldn't help laughing and said, "Some people just said they were my sister-in-law! It turns out it's her who wants to eat swan meat!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Jinghuai immediately glared at Chen Changnian: "Hangnian! Do you still have any rules?"
Chen Yannian was reprimanded by his third brother, and when he saw that everyone else was only looking at him and secretly casting reproachful looks at him, he naturally did not dare to say anything more.
In order to ease the embarrassment, the second sister-in-law only smiled slightly. Naturally, she had already seen Song Chuchu's disappointment. This kind of relationship usually had something to do. She didn't think that this girl was really as simple as Chen Jinghuai said. At the moment, she saw This woman was probably interested in Chen Jinghuai, but she couldn't figure out who this girl was, so she just smiled and said, "So that's it. I wonder which friend of yours is this?"
Chen Jinghuai said, "I told you that you may not know my second sister-in-law. My friend's parents are in a small business."
, I am not in your social circle, second sister-in-law. "
His words blocked Mrs. Chen's words.
The second sister-in-law then smiled and asked Song Chuchu, "I don't know what to call the girl?"
Although Song Chuchu was a little disappointed, she didn't really think that Chen Jinghuai would say that.
Therefore, she was only disappointed for a moment, and then she put away her discouragement again. She just smiled and said to the second sister-in-law of the Chen family, "My name is Song Chuchu."
"Song Chuchu's name is one that will attract people's attention as soon as you hear it. I don't even know what Ms. Song's father does for a living."
Song Chuchu was about to say that her father was in business, but Chen Jinghuai said directly, "Second sister-in-law, let's not talk about this for now. There are some things outside. I need to trouble second sister-in-law to count them."
Although the second sister-in-law of the Chen family was interrupted several times, her questioning just now was just out of habit. Now that the questioning stopped, she just nodded, and then she said to Song Chuchu, "Then Miss Song I’ll excuse you now.”
After the words fell, the second sister-in-law of the Chen family left the house.
The eldest sister-in-law of the Chen family just felt a little confused when she saw Chen Jinghuai interrupting the other party's words again and again.
But she has never been one to take care of things.
Therefore, after her second sister-in-law stood up, she stood up by herself and said, "I'm leaving first."
Chen Jinghuai said, "Wait!"
After the Chen family's sister-in-law turned around, she asked Chen Jinghuai, "What's the matter?"
Chen Jinghuai took out a small bamboo tube. When she first took the bamboo tube, the Chen family's sister-in-law was a little excited, "Is it a letter from your eldest brother?"
Chen Jinghuai didn't want to but shook his head, "No, here is the letter from my eldest brother."
After saying that, he just took out another letter and handed it to Mrs. Chen's wife.
The eldest sister-in-law of the Chen family looked at a letter from home with confusion, and felt a little strange about the bamboo tube.
Naturally, Chen Jinghuai would not hide it deliberately. He only explained, "This is the letter that my sister-in-law's brother asked me to send to you. In addition to this, the prefect also asked me to bring some Jingcheng specialties to my sister-in-law."
For some reason, the Chen family's sister-in-law didn't feel happy when she heard the letter from her brother.
She just said coldly, "I know."
However, his sister-in-law has always been cold-tempered, so Chen Jinghuai's cold reaction to her was not surprising at all.
As soon as the sister-in-law left, Chen Changnian, who had been silent since being reprimanded, immediately stared at Chen Jinghuai with a helpless and resentful expression.
"Why are you looking at me like this?" Chen Jinghuai simply asked.
Chen Yannian held out his hands resentfully, "Brother! Both sisters-in-law have gifts, but I am your sister! Isn't it worthy of you to give me a gift?"
Chen Jinghuai felt funny after hearing this.
"Of course I'm prepared!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Changnian became happy again, "What is it!"
At this time, Chen Jinghuai was showing off when facing Chen Changnian. He only said, "Of course it is... something that all ladies should have."
Upon hearing this, Chen Hongnian's original joyful expression faded away.
What are the things that a lady should have? She only feels unlucky about the things that women in the boudoir get, okay?
Not long ago, the elder sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law saw that she had messed up several blind dates they had arranged, and now they only forced her to learn female red embroidery and female training at home.
She said listlessly, "Forget it then. Brother, you should keep it for your future wife."
After saying this, she planned to leave.
Chen Jinghuai didn't want to but said, "I picked this for a long time before someone typed it out for you. Do you really don't want it?"
Chen Yannian was about to say no, but the thing was already placed in front of him.
It was a long sapphire hairpin with a bunch of lily of the valley flowers carved from white jade strung under the hairpin.
This is indeed something that my daughter will use at home, and the object is also very exquisite. The most important thing is that the shape is very suitable for Chen Hongnian. Therefore, although this thing is not what she really wants, she still can't put it down after seeing it.
She just snatched the hairpin from Chen Jinghuai's hand, and then said with a smile, "Third brother is so kind to me!"
Chen Jinghuai just smiled too, rubbed Chen Changnian's head and said
"I heard from my second sister-in-law before that she has chosen a lot of people for you. What do you think? Do you have any idea of the young master from that family?"
Chen Changnian said succinctly and comprehensively, "No."
"Is it possible that among all the young masters, none of them can make Ah Qian fall in love?" Chen Jinghuai asked.
"It's not that I'm not interested, it's that they don't like it either. They think I'm too rude, and I don't think they're embroidered pillows. Even I can't beat them. Why don't they think about their own reasons and insist on letting women lower themselves? Come and accommodate them." When it came to this, Chen Changnian was full of resentment.
As soon as he heard this, Chen Jinghuai knew that Chen Changnian must have been punished a lot during this period. He just said, "If you don't, then there will be no. I will write to my elder brother someday and ask him to find more heroes in the army for you."
When Chen Yannian heard this, he immediately waved his hands and said, "No need!"
Then she only showed a bit of the shyness of a daughter and said, "Actually, I already have a sweetheart, and we are in love."
Seeing Chen Hongnian's rare gesture, Chen Jinghuai knew that what Chen Hongnian said was true.
However, he couldn't help but be curious about the man who could win Chen Hongnian's heart. After all, Chen Hongnian's ability to find the right person should have made the whole family happy.
But she even hid it from her two sisters-in-law, so he couldn't help but suspect that Chen Changnian's partner was a very evil person.
He asked, "Oh? Who is that person?"
Chen Yannian smiled and said, "Brother, you know him too."
Chen Jinghuai was somewhat surprised when he heard this. @
"who is it?"
Chen Yannian was about to say that person's name, but when she looked at Song Chuchu, she said, "Anyway, I just know him. I will introduce him to him, but before that, he has to keep it a secret for me."
