Chapter 751: Meeting Gift
After the man finished speaking, he glanced at the second wife of the Bai family.
Obviously, the second wife's son Bai Shuan is of the right age.
As for the other illegitimate sons of the Bai family, there are several of them who are of similar age.
However, this person saw that the old lady liked Tang Bao so much, and because of Madam Xia's face, he didn't feel comfortable to give her to the illegitimate son.
The Second Madam frowned and said, "Although our An'er is not very capable, he is at least the direct descendant of the Bai family. He can always marry a girl from an aristocratic family of equal status. He has already met several families in the capital, all of whom are first-rank marquises."
Everyone could hear the arrogance in the Second Madam's tone.
Although it was not stated explicitly, the meaning of despising Tang Bao's low status is self-evident.
Bai Shuqing stood behind the Second Madam and said arrogantly, "Not everyone can enter our Bai family."
After saying that, he gave Tang Bao a deliberately provocative look.
She was humiliated by Tang Bao outside the Imperial Examination Hall. Since Princess Huaning supported Tang Bao, she had no time to get angry. Now she naturally had to humiliate Tang Bao to vent her anger.
Moreover, she really believed in her heart that Tang Bao was not worthy of entering the Bai family.
For Xia Siya, the daughter of a small prefect, it was already a great fortune for her to be able to marry her third brother.
You know, there are many young ladies from wealthy families in the capital who deliberately try to please her in order to become the daughter-in-law of the Bai family.
When Mrs. Xia heard what the Second Lady and her daughter said, her face changed immediately.
If the Second Madam is still a little reserved, then Bai Shuqing is too straightforward.
How could he tolerate that his goddaughter came with him to the banquet but was bullied like this?
"To be honest, although Su Tang is my goddaughter, she is no different from my biological daughter." Madam Xia glanced at Tang Bao and said with a loving tone, "Although this child is young, she is smart, well-behaved and sensible. She is also spoiled at home. The whole family holds her in the palm of their hands..."
Mrs. Xia paused here, a hint of pride showing on her face.
He continued, "Over the years, many people have come to propose marriage, and they've broken several thresholds. But her parents love her so much that they're reluctant to arrange a marriage for her so soon. They refuse anyone who proposes, even if they're from a first-rank marquisate!"
Mrs. Xia's last words completely rebutted the Second Lady's words.
Your family wants to marry into the family of a first-rank marquis, but we don’t even look down on the family of a first-rank marquis!
The Empress Dowager is about to adopt her as her granddaughter!
With the support of the Empress Dowager, who in the world's wealthy and powerful family can't she marry into?
As expected, the second lady's face immediately turned dark when she heard what Madam Xia said.
As the daughter-in-law of the Bai family, she has been highly praised over the years!
I didn't expect that today in my own home, I would be slapped in the face by a little prefect's wife.
"What a big tone! I wonder which first-rank marquis family is so short-sighted..."
"Shut up!"
Before the second lady could finish her words, she was interrupted by the old lady in a stern voice!
The reason why she married into the Xia family was because she wanted to win over Tang Bao.
Now that the Second Madam is saying this, how can this be considered as trying to win her over? It's clearly trying to create hatred.
The old lady glared at the second lady.
The second wife is still very afraid of her mother-in-law.
Although he was not convinced, he didn't dare to say anything more.
However, the look he gave Madam Xia was very unfriendly.
Madam Xia was cold and indifferent, not at all timid.
So what if the Bai family is from a wealthy family?
My goddaughter has never been bullied since she was a child. Could it be possible that she would be bullied when she was taken out to visit friends by herself, her godmother?
That doesn’t make sense!
The old lady looked at Tang Bao, her face turned kind in an instant, and said: "Your aunt just said it casually, don't take it to heart."
Tang Bao nodded obediently and said very honestly, "I know she has no vision. I won't take it to heart."
The old lady: "..."
A stagnation.
The second wife's nose was almost crooked with anger.
Xia Siya quickly lowered her head to hide the corners of her mouth that were raised high.
The old lady also felt a little aggrieved.
After all, the second wife is her daughter-in-law.
When Tang Bao slapped the Second Madam in the face in front of her, she was also slapping her in the face.
The old lady had a stroke of luck.
She is so old, she can't argue with a little girl, right?
The old lady winked at the pretty girl beside her.
The pretty girl immediately picked up another brocade box from the cabinet behind her.
You can tell at a glance that it was prepared in advance.
"This blood jade bracelet is a rare item. Since you are young, it is just right for you to wear. It is festive." said the old lady.
As he spoke, he picked up a string of red beads from the brocade box and put them on Tang Bao's wrist himself.
At this time, even a fool could see that the old lady had special feelings for the little girl Tang Bao.
The granddaughters of the Bai family all had tears in their eyes when they looked at the bracelets.
I feel both jealous and aggrieved.
Blood jade is rare to begin with, let alone a bracelet made of this top-quality blood jade.
The grandmother was reluctant to give it to them, and ended up giving it to a stranger.
Tang Bao, on the other hand, didn't really realize how precious this bracelet was.
There was no way, she already had several pieces of blood jade jewelry.
The dowry that the Duke of England's mansion gave to her mother also included a set of blood jade ornaments.
Tang Bao really doesn't care about it.
"Thank you, old lady." Tang Bao thanked her obediently.
Since they had already put a handcuff on her wrist, she had to do the work reluctantly.
Tang Bao wore a pair of sandalwood Buddhist beads on her left wrist, but nothing on her right wrist.
The old lady put the beads directly on Tangbao's right wrist.
When the eldest lady saw that her mother-in-law gave Tang Bao a gift, she also asked the maid to take out the gift she had prepared.
——A pair of blue glass bead flowers!
"This pair of pearl flowers was shipped from overseas. The young girls in the capital all like them, and they are not easily available." The eldest lady said with a smile.
There was a subtle hint of arrogance on his face.
Not everyone can afford or buy the things in the foreign goods store!
Tang Bao looked at Zhu Hua and was silent.
I really want to say that she already has several pairs.
What she sells in the shop are the ones she has left over.
"Thank you, Madam." Tang Bao bowed.
This might be Sister Siya’s future mother-in-law, so I have to give her face.
If you think someone's gift is too light and refuse to accept it, you are also being disrespectful to them.
The eldest lady smiled warmly at Tang Bao. She felt that Tang Bao was young but generous and pleasing to the eye.
As for whether Tang Bao had any reason to confront the Second Madam, only the First Madam herself knew.
Anyway, the two sisters-in-law have always been at odds with each other.
Seeing the Second Madam being humiliated, although she didn't show it on her face, she was already very happy in her heart.
The first lady had given the gift, so it was naturally the second lady's turn.
The second wife had originally prepared it, but she was just angry with Tang Bao and didn't want to give it to him anymore.
However, both my mother-in-law and sister-in-law gave it to me, and my mother-in-law also looked over at me.
In the end, she had to suppress her anger and waved her hand with great frustration to let the maid give a pair of jade earrings to Tang Bao.
