Grandpa Xi happily flipped through the bag his grandson brought.
Take out the men's down jackets, down vests and down warm pants that suit you.
"It was indeed the right choice to let you go to Northern Frontier and hang out with Xiao Hanzheng and his wife."
Otherwise, it would be impossible to bring back such a good thing.
Xi Rui didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Grandfather, please leave a few pieces for my father and the others!"
Xi Xinheng's expression changed immediately when he heard this, "Is there anything mine in there?"
Xi Rui nodded, "Yes!"
Xi Xinheng immediately stepped forward and took a blue down jacket from the old man, "Dad, this is given to me by my son."
The old man glared at him and said, "Unfilial son."
But he didn't say anything and just took out two pieces and threw them to his son.
As for his other sons and grandsons looking at him eagerly, he pretended not to see it.
Then, wearing a down jacket, I went out to play chess with old friends.
The old lady was speechless, "It's almost time for dinner, why are you still going out!"
The old man waved his hand and said, "I'm going to eat at an old friend's house."
The old lady was speechless as she watched the old man leave with a pile of clothes.
Going there to play chess is fake, going there to show off your down jacket is real.
This old man is becoming more and more childish.
Then the old lady took the down jacket handed to her by Xi Rui and went to the inner room to change into it.
After I came out, I didn’t want to take it off again. It’s light and warm, and it’s really comfortable to wear.
Then, with a loving look on his face, he took Xi Rui's hand and praised, "My Rui'er is still filial."
He also stuffed a lot of good things into Xi Rui's pockets in public, which made others jealous.
The Crown Prince's wife also had two pieces, but Xi Rui did not take them.
After sitting for a while, Xi Rui helped her mother back to the yard.
His brother and sister-in-law also followed him, obviously wanting down jackets too.
What haven't the old man and the old lady seen? If they think it's good, then it can't be bad.
They could imagine that this down jacket would definitely become popular in Kyoto soon.
They also want to be among the first group of people who wore it.
Xi Rui was not stingy and gave money to his brothers and sisters-in-law.
Then he went back to his own yard and asked the people he brought back from northern Xinjiang to dig up loess and mud to prepare a kang for the old lady's room.
I didn’t tell anyone about it in the old lady’s yard during the day, mainly because I wanted to give the old lady and the old man a surprise.
On the other side, the Liang family.
After Liang Youxiao returned home, he also went to the old lady's yard.
After the old man and others arrived, he took out the down jackets and distributed them.
Then the old man praised me.
The old lady was also coaxed into happiness and gave him a lot of good things.
Others are very jealous.
Especially after knowing that Liang Youxiao made a lot of money from canned food, he became even more jealous.
So a lot of sour words were said.
Even Liang Youxiao's sister-in-law felt uncomfortable, thinking that since the family had not been divided, the money should be from the public pool.
Why would a playboy like my uncle need so much money? Liang Youxiao is not stupid, he will confront anyone who is jealous.
As long as the old man and the old lady didn't say to use the money from the canning workshop as public property, he wouldn't be stupid enough to take it out himself.
It was said that he had already reached the marriageable age, but his family had pressured him so the government did not force him into marriage, and now it was time for him to consider getting married.
The main purpose is to introduce my niece from my mother's side to Liang Youxiao.
Liang Youxiao was overwhelmed when he heard this.
He is now focused on expanding his business and making more money, and has no intention of getting married.
This time, even the old man and the old lady started urging the couple to get married.
The old man also asked his grandmother and mother to help take a look.
So Liang Youxiao couldn't help it, saying that he was too tired from traveling, and slipped away in a hurry.
When the Crown Prince's wife brought her two daughters-in-law back to the yard, she heard the two of them saying sarcastic words.
She loved her filial younger son more, and that was the family fortune earned by her son, so why should she give it away and put it into the public purse?
My son will be able to earn more money in the future. If I put all the money into the public treasury, I will suffer a huge loss.
"You two should calm down. When Xiaoliu was thrown to the Northern Frontier, you were secretly gloating over his misfortune."
"He wanted to go to the south to start a canned food business, but people from other families not only did not support him, they also ridiculed and were pessimistic about his business."
"Don't think I don't know that you guys are not optimistic about this behind my back."
"You didn't even ask your men to help your brother back then. Now that Xiaoliu is making money, you want a piece of the pie. You are really thinking big,"
The wife of the prince said coldly: "I will take care of Xiaoliu's marriage. Don't try to force Xiaoliu to marry you anything, whether it's good or bad."
She was really angry. Her two daughters-in-law also had ideas about their sons' marriages. One suggested marrying her half-sister to the family, and the other suggested marrying her cousin who came from a poor family to the family.
Although her youngest son did not pursue a career in officialdom, he was the legitimate son of the eldest son of the Duke's Mansion. He had no shortage of money now. Even if he had been known as a playboy in the past, he could not marry just any man from a poor family or a concubine's son.
The two daughters-in-law's faces changed. They felt uncomfortable that their mother-in-law was partial to them, but they still nodded respectfully, "Yes!"
The Crown Prince's wife became more and more annoyed as she thought about it, so she asked the two men to go back to their own courtyard.
Then he asked someone to invite Liang Mingcheng to come for dinner, but that guy went out with the old man wearing a down jacket.
The Crown Prince's wife was speechless. The father and son both had the same habit of showing off.
But at the same time, he was also proud because this was brought back by his son.
When Liang Mingcheng came to the yard in the evening, he saw that his wife looked unhappy.
He walked over and sat down and asked with a smile: "What's going on?"
The wife of the Crown Prince recounted the incident of beating her two daughters-in-law during the day, "They are really getting more and more petty, and they can't stand my Xiaoliu."
She asked, "Xiao Liu should get married, but he used to have a bad reputation as a playboy, and now he likes to do business. What kind of girl do you think he should find for him?"
A family of equal status probably wouldn't want to marry their daughter to Xiaoliu.
And given my son's personality, he probably wouldn't like a daughter-in-law like that.
She looked down on concubines' daughters or those with poor family backgrounds.
Liang Mingcheng was also worried about his son's marriage.
He looked down at the down jacket he was wearing and suddenly had an idea. "Oh, I do have a pretty good candidate."
The Crown Prince's wife asked curiously, "Who is it?"
This man has never cared about these matters in the backyard, so it is rare that he would have the ideas to offer suggestions now.
Liang Mingcheng said: "Xiao Hanzheng's sister Xiao Baili, I think she is not bad."
The Crown Prince's wife was stunned for a moment, "Ah, isn't that a peasant girl?"
She even felt that the identity of a concubine's daughter of an aristocratic family was not good enough, let alone that of a peasant girl.
It’s not that I hate Xiao Baili, I just think her status is too low.
Liang Mingcheng smiled meaningfully and said, "Next year at the earliest, or the year after at the latest, Xiao Baili's status will rise rapidly. By then, a girl from one family will be sought after by hundreds of families, and her door will be broken down by people."
