Chapter 925: Open the Gift
The eldest lady breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what Tang Bao said.
Then he looked at Yang Jing and scolded, "Why don't you apologize to your sister Su quickly!"
Yang Jing was scolded by her mother in front of so many people and apologized to Tang Bao. Her eyes immediately turned red.
"Mom, I'm not wrong! This isn't worth much anyway!"
Yang Jing said, "Pah!" and threw the beads in her hand to the ground.
Then, pointing at the gifts Tang Bao brought, he continued, "And these things, they were all picked from the mountains, they're not worth much! Grandfather gave her Baiguo Mountain in vain. The annual income from Baiguo Mountain alone is worth several thousand taels of silver! With that much silver, I wonder how many of these rags she brought could be bought!"
As soon as Yang Jing finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room immediately froze.
Xuanyuan Jin's face completely gloomy.
The eldest lady's face changed and she raised her hand to hit Yang Jing.
Just as Tang Bao was about to speak for mercy, Xuanyuan Jin reached out and pinched Tang Bao's fingers.
Tang Bao looked back at Xuanyuan Jin and swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
For a moment, no one in the room spoke.
The eldest lady raised her hand, feeling that it was not right to hit him, nor was it right not to hit him.
This little daughter has been spoiled since she was a child.
But his straightforward personality and outspokenness gave her a headache.
But after all, she is my daughter and she is so young, so I really can't bear to hit her.
Yang Ran hurried forward, grabbed the eldest lady, and said, "Mother, my sister is young and naive. You can teach her slowly in the future. If you hit her, it will make Sister Su feel uncomfortable."
When the eldest lady heard Yang Ran say this, she also reacted and put her hand down.
"Mom is also confused by anger."
After saying that, he glared at Yang Jing and said, "I'll deal with you later!"
Yang Ran walked up to Tang Bao, knelt down and bowed earnestly, saying, "Sister Su, this is all my fault. As the eldest sister, I didn't teach my younger sister well. I apologize to you."
Tang Bao reached out and pulled Yang Ran up, smiling and saying, "What are you talking about, Sister Yang? The fourth lady is indeed right. The things I brought are indeed not worth much."
When Tang Bao said this, the lady's face immediately turned red.
The gifts that guests bring to your home are meant to express their thoughts.
But in the end, he was measured by his own daughter with silver.
It's so embarrassing!
What's more, although Tang Bao called Yang Ran sister, she changed her name to Yang Jing, "Fourth Girl".
How could the Madam not understand the meaning behind this?
Thinking of what the man said, the eldest lady couldn't help but secretly regret that she had been too lax in educating her little daughter.
Yang Jing was already feeling aggrieved and her eyes were red.
Now that I heard Tangbao herself admit that the things she brought were worthless, I felt even more right.
So, I couldn't help but mutter: "See, she herself admitted that these things are worthless."
Although Yang Jing's voice was not loud, the people in the room were not deaf, so how could they not hear it?
The eldest lady wanted to shut her youngest daughter's mouth.
"Mother Wang, send the fourth girl back to her room. She is not allowed to leave the room without my permission!" said the eldest lady in a stern voice.
When Yang Jing heard this, her eyes widened in disbelief.
"mother?!"
After hearing the eldest lady's order, Madam Wang immediately stepped forward and said apologetically, "Fourth Miss, I will take you back to your room."
"Wait!" Xuanyuan Jin suddenly spoke.
Yang Jing was delighted, thinking that Xuanyuan Jin wanted to plead for her.
"Thank you, cousin." Yang Jing said happily.
And gave Tang Bao a provocative look.
I am my cousin's biological cousin!
Seeing this, Tang Bao just thought that this little girl had no taste.
When I was her age, I wasn't so stupid.
Tang Bao silently lit a candle for Yang Jing in her heart.
As expected, Xuanyuan Jin didn't even glance at Yang Jing, but simply ordered in a cold voice: "Open the things the princess brought!"
Xuanyuan Jin deliberately changed the way he addressed Tang Bao to Princess.
Shi Liu had been waiting for this sentence for a long time. Upon hearing it, he immediately stepped forward and quickly opened the boxes one by one, revealing the medicinal herbs inside.
All the medicinal materials are of extremely high quality.
For example, the rare Polygonum multiflorum, the Panax notoginseng with only five or six heads...
Especially the old ginseng that is as thick as a child's arm, which is a valuable item that is in short supply.
As the mistress of the household, the eldest lady naturally knew the quality and value of these medicinal herbs.
After all, wealthy families usually keep some rare medicinal herbs on hand.
At this moment, the eldest lady saw the contents of each box and couldn't help but gasp.
There is no way. Regardless of the price, these medicinal herbs are hard to buy on the market.
She never expected that Tang Bao would be so generous!
In comparison, the pair of gold bracelets she gave to Tang Bao were not even worth a fraction of the price of these medicinal herbs.
"Aunt, are these things really junk?" Xuanyuan Jin asked expressionlessly, "I don't know when the General's Mansion became so wealthy that they treat these things worth thousands of gold as junk?"
The eldest lady's face immediately turned red.
She didn't want to admit that she actually thought that these were worthless things and didn't take them seriously at all.
In fact, I privately thought that what my little daughter said just now was not wrong.
For no apparent reason, my father-in-law adopted a goddaughter from the mountain valley and gave Baiguo Mountain away.
It would be absolutely impossible to say that she had no complaints in her heart.
It’s just that as a younger generation, I won’t criticize my elders.
"It's all because your cousin is short-sighted and has never seen anything good. I'm sorry to embarrass you." The eldest lady said with a face full of shame.
These words coming out of her mouth were like a slap in her own mouth.
Upon seeing this, the Second Lady hurried to smooth things over, fearing that Xuanyuan Jin would vent his anger on the General's Mansion because of Yang Jing.
"The fourth young lady is also young, and her words are not what she means. Fortunately, the Third Prince and Fu Ya are not outsiders..."
As the Second Madam spoke, she looked at Xuanyuan Jin and Tang Bao, waiting for them to speak and say something that no one would care about.
In this way, the matter was over.
Anyway, Xuanyuan Jin's intervention has earned Tang Bao enough face.
However, the second wife's wish was good, but she met two people who did not play by the rules.
Xuanyuan Jin still had no expression on his face, while Tang Bao looked innocent, as if she didn't realize what the Second Madam meant.
I don’t know what to say next to the Second Madam.
You said that they are not outsiders, but now they act like outsiders.
It is obvious that this matter cannot be exposed.
For a moment, the situation was frozen.
The second wife sighed secretly.
I couldn't help but feel a little annoyed with my niece Yang Jing.
It was clearly a happy event, but it turned out so awkwardly.
He also offended the Third Prince because of this.
If my father-in-law comes back in the future and knows about this, he will probably be angry.
Isn't this a slap in the face of my father-in-law?
In any case, Baiguoyuan was given to me by my father-in-law.
Moreover, the huge fortune of the general's mansion was mostly earned by my father-in-law who fought on the battlefield for many years and paid with his life.
No matter who my father-in-law gives the orchard to, it is not the granddaughter's turn to have a say.
