On November 17th, the day before the wedding, a box gift was given.
On this day, the maids and servants all put on new clothes, and the maids and servants wore red belts around their waists. Although there were no men in the family, there was no sign of depression.
As soon as a little fish belly appeared on the horizon, the eldest girl from Bai Ning's family came, bringing several boxes of gifts. Also came her mother-in-law, Mrs. Changping Houhua. The smile on the eldest girl's face never broke. Her business has brought great benefits to Shi Mansion. Now no one in Shi Mansion dares to look down upon her!
Her mother-in-law was treating her better than before, and now she came to add a box to her sister. She was really grateful.
Mrs. Liu, her second wife and her third wife hurried over and held the hands of her in-laws. The arrival of Mrs. Changping Marquis gave both her eldest daughter and the Ning family face.
"I really didn't expect Mrs. Hua to come. We were so happy and hurried to sit inside."
Mrs. Changpinghou also held Mrs. Liu's hand tightly, "My dear, you are out of touch when you say this. We are family friends and family, which is how we should be. But you are heavy and working hard during this period, so you have to pay attention."
"It's not like I have to do it myself, I can just use my mouth."
The two of them entered the house while talking affectionately. The old lady was sitting inside and saw Mrs. Hua saying hello: "The in-laws are here, you are interested. Chun'er is really lucky to have a mother-in-law like you."
Mrs. Hua and the old lady said politely when they saw the gift: "Where is it?" Then they turned to Mrs. Liu and said, "If you have anything to do, let your eldest daughter, the second wife and the third wife do it for you. Don't do it yourself." Yes." Ning Jiayin gave her a big thumbs up in her heart.
With a smile on her face, Ning Jiachun helped Mrs. Hua sit on the chair. Ning Jiaxin and her younger sisters came forward to salute.
Mrs. Hua looked at the flowers-like girls in front of her, and her obedient words came out naturally: "Look at these girls, they are like flowers. The girls from the Ning family are all really outstanding in appearance." Upon hearing this, Ning Jiayin turned out to be a person with high emotional intelligence. , not only praised other people's girls, but also praised his own daughter-in-law.
Ning Jiachun introduced her: "The purple dress is my second sister, the yellow dress is my third sister, the apricot dress is my fourth sister, and the red dress is my fifth sister."
Mrs. Hua smiled and nodded while taking out the gifts she had prepared. All the girls had a unique hairpin.
Several girls were thanking and saluting, and there was a noise outside.
It turned out that Mrs. Du from the Duke's Mansion and Mrs. Dong from the Ministry of Household Affairs came together. Behind them were servants carrying a heavy box of gifts. The scene immediately became lively, and the ladies naturally bowed when they met. There were a lot of polite words. Ning Jiayin was so impressed by these social etiquettes that she said a lot but actually said nothing.
The Duke's wife took Ning Jiayin's hand and said, "Why haven't you been to the Duke's residence these days? The old lady misses you."
Ning Jiayin smiled like a lady and said, "Thank you, old lady, for thinking about me. I'll be there in two days." Mrs. Du nodded her nose faintly: "Just pretend."
Ning Jiayin stuck out her tongue at her.
Mrs. Dong said: "Who can believe that the fourth girl is so capable at such a young age."
While they were chatting, several aunts also came. A few days ago, Ning Jiayin asked her grandmother to tell them that as soon as her second sister's marriage was over, she would do some business with her aunts. They were very happy to hear that, Everyone knows that the fourth girl makes money by doing business. The eldest sister got her help and opened more than a dozen branches. The business of the branches was very good, and the eldest sister's waist became straight.
Naturally, they also hope that their parents' families can provide them with a profitable living, so that they can look good on their faces.
I knew that this niece was very capable. I heard that she had been very close to the Duke's Mansion recently, but when they saw with their own eyes that the Duke's wife and Ning Jiayin were so close, they were all shocked. Four girls and a concubine could actually To have such great love from the Duke's wife shows that her ability is not ordinary.
The in-laws of the Ning family also arrived one after another and saw the interaction between the Duke's wife and the fourth girl. They were secretly surprised to hear that the cake shop in the Duke's mansion was purchased by the fourth girl. Now it seems that what they said is true.
Immediately afterwards, some aristocratic families from the capital came. The previous contacts had been indifferent due to the emperor’s raid on their homes. When they heard that the Duke’s wife and the workers of the Ministry of Revenue were here, they no longer hesitated. Moreover, they heard that the fourth girl had excellent medical skills. Okay, if we all eat whole grains, who won’t get sick? Maybe we’ll spend more time dealing with each other in the future.
Regardless of everyone's thoughts, the Ning family became lively, and the old lady and Mrs. Liu were also happy. Their son and husband were not at home, so it was good for these people to come.
At this time, the Boyong Hou Mansion was discussing, not whether to go to the Ning family, but who should go?
Mrs. Sha didn't dare to come because of Ning Jiayin's attitude towards her, and she didn't want to come. She was afraid that when she saw Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Liu's attitude would be even worse than Ning Jiayin's. Where would she put her face then?
The Marquis was a little angry when he saw his wife like this: "If you don't go today, it will be even harder to go in the future. Isn't this relationship broken?" You can't let your daughter-in-law go. She's still in confinement. Besides, your face won't be bright if she goes. "
The Crown Prince's wife also advised him: "Mom, just go ahead. The fourth girl's medical skills are so good that no one will have a headache or fever in the future."
So Mrs. Sha came holding her nose, feeling uneasy all the way. She got off the carriage and was hesitating. Mrs. Du and Mrs. Dong finished loading the boxes and were about to leave. When Mrs. Liu sent them to the door, she saw the slow-moving Sha. Madam, she stepped forward affectionately and took Shashi's hand: "Sister, hurry in! I'll be happy when you come."
An awkward smile appeared on Shashi's face: "I was blamed for everything in the past. It was my own fault..."
Ms. Liu interrupted her: "I'm more happy than anything else that you came today. Let's not say anything else."
The two of them were holding hands and before they entered the gate, they heard someone at the door announcing that the gift list had arrived for the old princess. As soon as they turned around, they saw several people walking towards them carrying two large boxes.
Shashi was secretly glad that even the old prince's house came to add fragrance to Ning's house. Fortunately, she came.
Mrs. Liu looked at the two big boxes: "This is all the credit of the fourth girl. The old princess only gave the gift for the sake of the fourth girl, and it is so heavy."
Shashi then said: "Your fourth girl is really powerful, but she also loves you. Last time she went to see my grandson, she was extremely cold to me. She must be resentful of what I did."
Mrs. Liu felt her heart warm when she heard this: "This girl usually seems to have a good temper, but when something happens, she will repay her flaws."
On the surface, this was not a nice thing to say, but Mrs. Liu looked happy and proud when she said it. Sha Shi felt quite uncomfortable, but when she thought about Liu Shi's enthusiasm when she saw him just now, it was really boring to compete with a little girl all the time.
