"Oh, little sister-in-law, you are the equal wife of my eldest sister-in-law. My eldest sister-in-law has been in our Gu family for three years, but she has not given birth to a child for my eldest brother. Now that you have entered the mansion, you should give birth to a child for my eldest brother as soon as possible. In the future, it is not certain who will serve tea to whom." Gu Nianshu looked at Tai Jingwan sarcastically and said.
Gu Nianshu felt that since she was speaking for Jiang Jinyue, Jiang Jinyue would feel embarrassed to give her a gift that was too light. She might even give her an extra one.
Tai Jingwan paused, she knew that the Gu family blamed her for not having a child in the three years since she got married, but she didn't expect that in the Gu family, even Gu Nianshu, an unmarried sister-in-law, would dare to say such things to her in front of her.
The sound of "bang" startled everyone in the room.
"Jiang, why did you hit me?" Gu Nianshu didn't expect that when she spoke up for Jiang Jinyue, Jiang Jinyue would go crazy and hit her.
"It is said that the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother. My younger sister is outspoken, so it is not excessive for her to teach her a lesson, right? Mother-in-law, my younger sister-in-law is still an unmarried girl. Now, if you say this about the eldest sister-in-law and it gets out, how will my younger sister find a good marriage in the future?" Jiang Jinyue looked at Old Mrs. Tang with a worried look on her face and said.
Old Mrs. Tang's face was not very good at the moment. After all, Gu Nianshu was her sweetheart, but she couldn't refute Jiang Jinyue's words.
"My second cousin's wife is so arrogant. She beat my sister-in-law on the second day after she entered the mansion. I'm afraid it won't be good if this reputation gets out, right?" Tang Wan'er's voice came from outside the house.
"Wanwan, you're not feeling well, why are you here?" Old Mrs. Tang said with concern when she saw Tang Waner coming.
"Aunt, if Wan'er hadn't come, we wouldn't have known that our second cousin-in-law had actually hit our younger sister Nianshu." Tang Wan'er looked at Jiang Jinyue with dissatisfaction.
...
...
[She is really a white lotus. She can even say that black is white. 】
Jiang Jinyue was also looking at Tang Wan'er. After all, she had only seen Tang Wan'er in books before. Now that she had met her in person, Jiang Jinyue began to complain in her heart.
[Ah, this scumbag Gu Huaizhi has really bad eyesight. He doesn't want our beautiful sister who is both pretty and well-educated, but instead wants this vixen who is not presentable enough. 】
Tai Jingwan originally thought that, on weekdays, Tang Wan'er's presence in the mansion was generally not high except for her frequent visits to her mother-in-law's courtyard.
However, Tang Wan'er's words just now when she reprimanded Jiang Jinyue made Tai Jingwan feel that she had really underestimated Tang Wan'er.
"Don't feel sorry for this girl. She deserves it. Tai is her eldest sister-in-law, yet she is so ignorant of etiquette." Old Mrs. Tang said this deliberately.
He glanced at Tai Jingwan, thinking that Tai Jingwan could say a few words for Gu Nianshu. Even if this was just a fight between children, it was not a big deal.
Unfortunately, Tai Jingwan is not stupid. Your daughter scolds me, and I should smile and say it’s okay?
Sorry, I can't do it.
Gu Nianshu stared at Jiang Jinyue viciously, thinking that if she didn't take out something to satisfy her and coax her later, she would never let her have an easy time in the Gu family in the future.
Old Mrs. Tang was very dissatisfied when she saw Tai Jingwan kept her head down, but she couldn't say anything to blame her.
But in his heart he cursed Tai Jingwan for being ungrateful.
"Mother-in-law, husband, today, I have prepared some small gifts for all the sisters and brothers. I hope you will accept them." Seeing that the Gu family was so shameless, Jiang Jinyue thought of using those cheap things to slap the Gu family in the face.
"Jinyue is thoughtful." Old Mrs. Tang thought that Jiang Jinyue was giving her a way out and nodded with satisfaction. As expected, among the two daughters-in-law, there is always a good one. Tai was ungrateful, but fortunately there was still Jiang who was sensible.
Besides, the Jiang family came from the prominent Jiang family, and the thing their family had the most was money. Now that Huaizhi had such a Yue family, why would he need to curry favor with the old stubborn Tai family?
He had been married to Taishi's eggless hen for three years, but he didn't even bother to ask her father to find a future for Huaizhi.
Thinking of this, Old Mrs. Tang looked at Tai Jingwan with even more dissatisfaction.
After a while, Jixiang took a few small handkerchiefs and distributed them to the concubines of several girls in the Gu family one by one.
"Second sister-in-law, can you just give me a handkerchief?" Gu Nianshu looked at the handkerchief in her hand with dissatisfaction. It was not even as big as her palm. What made Gu Nianshu most dissatisfied was that her handkerchief was the same as those of the others!
How is this possible?
She is the eldest daughter of the mansion, so her things should be the best.
"Sister, you don't know that this handkerchief is not an ordinary handkerchief. It is made of floating luster brocade specially provided to the royal family. This floating luster brocade is a tribute and only the royal family can use it." Jiang Jinyue said with a smile.
"Second sister-in-law, you wouldn't be so stingy as to only give me such a small handkerchief, right?" Gu Nianshu threw the handkerchief on the ground with suspicion. So what if it was a tribute from the royal family? It was only the size of a palm and she couldn't take it out.
She would rather have jewelry than this royal handkerchief.
What Gu Nianshu didn't know was that Jiang Jinyue gave them such a small piece of scrap just to disgust her.
After all, another gift she prepared was a piece of lusterless brocade fabric for each person.
The old lady, Mrs. Tang, who was sitting at the top, looked at the gaudy handkerchief in her hand and thought to herself, I lost out by giving her the bracelet!
However, the old lady did not respond to Gu Nianshu's words.
As an elder, she couldn't say anything about the gift from her daughter-in-law. She felt that it was too little, right?
The purpose of the newlyweds giving gifts is to bring joy. No matter how expensive the gift is, as long as the thought is there, it's good enough.
After a while, Jixiang came over with some pens, ink, paper and inkstone, and handed them to Gu Huaizhi's younger brother Gu Mingzhi and half-brother Gu Yanzhi one by one.
Gu Mingzhi looked at those things with a look of disgust. He neither liked reading nor writing. It was an insult to him that his second sister-in-law gave him these things.
But Gu Yanzhi thanked him happily. Gu Yanzhi liked reading and writing.
"Sister-in-law, have you prepared anything else for us?" Gu Nianshu still didn't want to believe it. Jiang Jinyue was a merchant girl. She shouldn't have sent them away with such a small handkerchief that was not presentable enough.
The complete set of headgear from the Treasure Pavilion that she had been looking forward to was now gone, which made Gu Nianshu very angry.
"Yes, second sister-in-law, what I hate most is reading and writing. The thing you gave me is no different from garbage to me." Gu Mingzhi said very unhappily.
Old Madam Tang, who was sitting at the top, looked at the worthless Buddhist beads in her hand with disgust in her heart.
