Chapter 227 I Can’t Understand the Young Lady
Aunt Shen changed a cup of tea for Mrs. Wang, glanced at the cloth bag placed on the small table, and said, "Madam, the eldest lady is really too considerate."
The Wang family only sent so many things, including money and belongings, it didn't exceed three thousand taels, but Qin Liuxi's return gift, just the An Gong Wan, might not be able to be bought even if he had money.
"Yes, it's really heavy." Wang wiped the corners of her eyes and said, "I don't even know how to pay her back."
Aunt Shen could see that there were few servants in the house now, the servants were all busy doing chores, and the same was true for the maids. No matter which maid they were, they were all very capable.
There were few people, so there weren't many people running around. She wasn't afraid of being overheard when she spoke, but Granny Shen still cautiously looked outside to see if anyone was there before speaking.
"You're so pretentious. They say that everyone will be prosperous and suffer losses. Let's not talk about the big family, just our eldest brother. You are one and should be twisted into a rope. How can we talk about missing a word? ?”
Wang shook her head: "That's the truth, but think about it, are we worthy of such treatment? If it were you and her, would it be possible?"
Grandma Shen was choked by the question.
"None of us can do it. Even I am polite, but I can't give such a generous gift." Mrs. Wang touched the cloth bag and sighed: "I finally understand, this child, you treat her so well." If you do a good job, she will give you ten points in return.”
Although it was something worth being happy about, she always felt a little distressed in her heart.
Aunt Shen said: "Madam, you are blessed after all. There will be a long time to come. You have more time to be good to her. How to get along with each other, whether it is parents, children, or masters and servants, they all rely on time. As time goes by, your love will only get better in people’s hearts.”
"That's true." Mrs. Wang pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "I have experienced hardships when I married into the Qin family, and I have also lamented my bad fortune. Now it seems that God has treated me well."
"When the third young master comes back, your good fortune is yet to come." Grandma Shen said.
Thinking of her son, Mrs. Wang felt a little sad in her heart, but she didn't dare to think too much and said, "You can add up the gift list with Mr. Li later. It doesn't need to be expensive. The main thing is to bring some Licheng specialties and unique gadgets." Everyone knows that I am down and out, but I don’t have anything that I can do well. As for this, it would be nice if my mother knew about it.”
She nodded on the kang table and whispered: "Xi'er gave me these two things. Be careful not to let it slip. If the other side finds out, there may be trouble. Don't tell me secretly that I'm going to my parents' house. I'm afraid I will accuse Xi'er of being unfilial, so there is no need to cause this trouble for her."
Aunt Shen said with a solemn face: "Don't worry, I know the importance of closeness and distance. Madam, you think the eldest lady is more and more difficult to understand. I see that she is not living a particularly extravagant life. The clothes are not very fancy, but you see, she can take out such expensive medicine as a gift."
There is such a thing, I don't know how much gold and silver it can be exchanged for, but she gave it away.
Wang: "Ten years and two places apart, we don't know how she lived, who she dated, and what she did during this period, and there is no need to ask. She is a person who knows everything."
She thought of the pile of jewelry she had seen at Qin Liuxi's before, and her eyelids twitched a few times. Could it be that those things and this medicine were gifts from her so-called friends?
