Chapter 481: Generous Yan
After seeing Yan and thinking that she was already twenty years old, Qiao Xuan finally understood why the Yan family, who had a fairly good financial situation, would be willing to marry their daughter to Shao Silang.
Because the Yan family is well-off and they love their daughter very much, they are bound to be picky when choosing a son-in-law.
But Yan's appearance was indeed very ordinary, and the Yan family was not wealthy, and they were quite picky about their son-in-law, not wanting to marry someone who was neither high-quality nor low-quality. As a result, her marriage was delayed until she was twenty years old.
The Yan family then became anxious.
Three years ago, the Yan family would definitely look down upon people like Shao's second wife and Shao Silang. But things are different now. Considering the sincerity of Shao's second wife in offering a betrothal gift of fifteen taels, they had no choice but to agree to the marriage.
Otherwise, if we delay any further, my daughter will really become an old girl.
Shao Silang just happened to be lucky.
Yan offered tea to the elders, and Qiao Xuan, Xiao Qi, Tao Tao and others greeted her and changed their words.
What surprised Qiao Xuan and the others was that Yan actually brought gifts for Xiaoqi, Taotao, Shao Junyan and Shao Qing. Taotao and Shao Qing each got a pair of pink silk flowers, and Xiaoqi and Shao Junyan each got a royal blue ruyi-shaped purse embroidered with flower branches.
Everyone in the big room was startled and opened their eyes wide.
The second wife is a miser and has never given anything to the first wife! When Yan came here, she must have scared everyone!
Even an honest person like Xu subconsciously declined the offer on behalf of her children. She put on a smiling face to thank Yan for her kindness, but she refused to accept the offer.
Needless to say, Taotao and Xiaoqi also hurriedly pushed it back and said "No, no."
Not only the people in the first house were shocked, but Mrs. Niu was also surprised.
Obviously, this was Yan's own idea and he did not tell Niu.
Seeing that they were just refusing, Niu smiled and said, "Yan, they don't need you. If they don't want you, just take it back!"
"Mother, this is a little gift from me, there is no reason to take it back!" Yan smiled and spoke softly, but her attitude was not ambiguous, "Big Cousin, Taotao, Xiaoqi, please accept it quickly, do you dislike me?"
Xu, Taotao and others looked at Fang hesitantly.
Fang smiled and said, "Since it is Yan's intention, you should accept it."
Taotao and others then accepted it.
Mrs. Niu was not very happy, but the new daughter-in-law had just arrived, and it was not appropriate to lose face for her in front of outsiders, so she had to give up.
After they left, Xiaoqi and Xu opened their purses and found eight copper coins inside.
Everyone opened their eyes even wider.
"Isn't this - Fourth Cousin's wife too generous?"
Although the eldest wife's current wealth is not enough to take eight copper coins seriously, in the eyes of the country people, eight copper coins are not a small amount.
Fang smiled and said, "Just keep it if I give it to you. This Yan knows how to behave."
It is impossible that Yan is completely unaware of the relationship between her family and the second and third houses, but she still did it. Judging from Niu's reaction, it seems that she had no idea about it in advance, which shows that Yan is a person with her own ideas and really wants to be on good terms with the first house.
Fang didn't think there was anything wrong with this.
It's fine as long as Yan has no bad intentions towards the first wife.
If anyone dares to have bad intentions, she will not be polite and will teach her a lesson sooner or later.
You have to know that they live in different families, and her son is a scholar. If Yan dares to plot against the eldest wife from another family, there will be no good result.
Back at the second room, Niu's face was not looking good, but she still avoided Zhang and only talked to Shao Silang and Yan, "Yan, why are you giving them things? What a waste!"
