When they leave, Minghua will ask the nuns to give them a greeting gift, or an embroidered handkerchief made by a servant, or a headdress, a jade pendant, etc.
Of course, what was given out was not a very valuable thing, but it was a joy for those who benefited. They had never seen anything Minghua brought back from the capital, and they only thought it was beautiful everywhere. There was also a commotion about showing off in the clan, and everyone who received a gift from Minghua liked to show it off.
There are even men and women in the clan who are interested in others who will wear one specially. If they don't have any, they will borrow and wear them and then return them.
The Xiaojia Village was lively for a few days because of the return of Minghua and his family. After that, Minghua refused to see the guests on the grounds of studying, and the excitement subsided. However, the Xiao clan leader particularly likes to run here, for no other reason than to build relationships with Duo Lala and build relationships with Duo La. See the life and demeanor of a noble lady from an aristocratic family.
After Minghua returned, they had a new understanding of noble ladies from aristocratic families; the ladies they had seen before were only the wealthy gentry in the county and the daughters of county officials.
After Patriarch Xiao returned home, he lamented to his wife, "Our Xiao family has given birth to an extraordinary girl. Her charisma and demeanor are not even comparable to those of the county magistrate's daughter."
"Using the county magistrate's daughter to compete with our county head? What do you think?" Mrs. Xiao's wife said bluntly, "The county magistrate's daughter is standing in front of our county head. Even the maids next to the county head are better than No. I've seen it. The two maids beside the county magistrate are a little bit younger. The daughter is also a literate girl. She is elegant and has a bookish air. I have seen the daughter of the county magistrate's family. Yeah, she’s covered in fat and so arrogantly tight.”
Not to mention her bearing, apart from being dressed better, she looks just like a country girl.
Patriarch Xiao was speechless. What could he say? The daughter of the magistrate of Xianyun County indeed has such an image.
Seeing her husband choked up and unable to speak, Patriarch Xiao's wife happily said with a smile: "Our county master is so generous! There are even jewelry in the gifts. I have seen them, they are all real gold and silver." The workmanship of those things costs at least a hundred taels of silver."
"So expensive?" He really hadn't looked at the woman's jewelry carefully.
"No, that craft is filigree craft, which you can't see in our small place. When I was young, I heard about it from other people's homes. I also wore real gold and silver filigree jewelery before it came here. . I have to preserve it and pass it on to future generations. It should not be touched unless absolutely necessary." Mrs. Xiao was very satisfied. "Our family has received a lot of gifts from the county master. In the future, you have to keep an eye on the mother and daughter of the second bedroom."
Patriarch Xiao was still dazed, and just nodded randomly, "The mother and daughter seem to have become more at ease, and there is no other movement."
"The time is still short. People are staring at them. Dogs can't change from eating shit. If they dare to make any move, I will be the first to refuse."
have to!
The mother-in-law protects the county lord better than he does.
Patriarch Xiao nodded lightly, "You're just watching, don't worry about it; I think the people around the county leader are not simple, especially those three nuns."
"That's definitely not possible. I heard Xiao Leshi mention it; the maids around them were all begged from the palace by the master of the county master. They are high-ranking female officials. This shows how much the master of our county master loves her. "The patriarch's wife became more and more enthusiastic as she spoke, as if she was talking about her own family. "I know that the master of the county master is said to be a chief assistant. From the official to the first assistant, he is a first-grade official. No wonder he can be invited to the palace. The grandma here.”….
"Who did you listen to? It couldn't be Xiao Le, right?" Patriarch Xiao had never asked about this, and he was too embarrassed to ask a junior or a girl about the family affairs.
The patriarch's wife nodded quickly, "That's what she said."
"How could she tell you this?" Patriarch Xiao couldn't help but think a little more.
The patriarch's wife rolled her eyes at him and said, "You like to have random thoughts. I just mentioned it while chatting. Someone also asked you at that time. When people ask, you can't just say nothing, right?"
Patriarch Xiao nodded, stopped asking about this matter, and changed the subject to ask something else, "Did they really come back to take part in the imperial examination?"
"should be."
"Then there's no need for the whole family to come back! The old man is getting older, and running back and forth is too much for his body." Patriarch Xiao still couldn't help but think more, "It's better for them to be in the capital.
If they are well taken care of, just let the two children come back. If you are not worried, just let Zhengning and his wife come back. A year is not long, so why bother. "
The patriarch's wife gave him a hard look, trying to pry open his head to see if there was water inside.
"What's wrong with them being old? They haven't seen everyone in the second house for a year. Why don't they come back to see you? If someone hears your words, I'll see where you put your face." He worked wholeheartedly and did not forget them when he came back, which shows that he is a conscientious child. Why did his heart change? "You can't think blindly. If they want to come back, they will come back. It is also the fourth sister-in-law who has changed; How difficult it was in the past! I never saw her favoring the second wife. Now that life is getting better, she starts to struggle. I heard that all their expenses in the capital depend on the county boss, which is a big pain for the child. "
"I have to worry about my livelihood at a young age, and she has always contributed to the expenses of the house; my fourth sister-in-law's heart is probably made of stone. If I have such a lovely granddaughter, I can't hold it in my heart and feel it. , how can I be willing to cause trouble for her."
Patriarch Xiao shook his head, "Don't hear this anymore. Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. As long as the Zhengning couple and the fourth brother are not confused, it will be fine. As long as there is someone who is stable and can't mess up."
"That's it." The patriarch's wife shook her head and sighed softly. Who can let people be their biological ancestors? The nurse is biased and can only be filial. I'm afraid of them; on the first day when the second roommate came back from the county master, her eyes were fixed on the things on the county master's body. She's such a short-sighted thing, no wonder she has no future."
"Shut up. No matter how good a person is, he will only be in the same room. We are already several rooms apart."
The patriarch's wife felt regretful, "How nice it would be if our room was better!"
"Stop talking. The more you say it, the more unreliable it becomes." Chief Xiao quickly stopped him. If these words were easy to say, it would be fine if he said them outside.
"I know, I know, let's not talk anymore." The patriarch's wife shook her head, with regret on her face, "By the way, do you think the people around the county master can borrow it for use?"
"For what?" Patriarch Xiao asked confused.
The patriarch's wife said: "The county leader has a nun who is proficient in medical skills. You still don't know about this. Hmm, I have found out all about it. If a nun from the palace can say she is proficient, then she must be proficient. Yes, I want to ask her to see a doctor for the old people in our clan. If any of the older women in our clan doesn’t have some minor ailments, it would be a great merit if they could be cured."
This time, Patriarch Xiao didn’t object at all. .
