Chapter 712 Gift
"No hurry, no hurry." Wang Xuan did not say anything when he heard Xu Miaomiao say this, and stood beside Xu Miaomiao, welcoming the guests with him. Seeing this, Gu Yuanniang smiled at him with displeasure and said, "Madam Wang, you should take the seat. We will take care of the welcoming guests."
"How can I do this? There are so many guests coming and going, and they have given me many good gifts. If you take them all, how can I count them?"
When Gu Yuanniang heard this, she was stunned for a long time, pulled the corners of her mouth and rolled her eyes, but Xu Miaomiao quietly pulled her aside and whispered in his ear, "Obviously, these guests came because of our Song Mansion, but how come he said all these faces are his? Do we have to let him choose whatever he wants in our warehouse?"
Xu Miaomiao lowered her head and smiled without saying anything. Looking at the woman in front of her who kept pulling the guests to come and couldn't wait to open the gift boxes in their hands to check them, Xu Miaomiao also sighed.
"What can we do today? After all, she is Honglu's mother. We should be patient. He can't take any of these gifts away."
Hearing Xu Miaomiao's confident words, Gu Yuanniang nodded in relief. However, looking at the woman's attentive appearance, she was even more puzzled and could not help but run to the lobby.
This was the first wedding in the Song Mansion, and Xu Miaomiao couldn't help feeling melancholy. He originally thought that the first wedding would be for Song Weiwei, but it turned out to be the maidservant of Gu Yuanniang. Although she had nothing to do with them, she was still a servant in his mansion after all. Xu Miaomiao couldn't help but be more considerate and careful.
Seeing that there were fewer and fewer guests, Wang Xuan was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. She looked at Xu Miaomiao and shook her handkerchief, and then she said, "Oh, Madam Xu, tell me what's going on. Why are there so many guests today? I saw those gifts, and they really are gold, silver and jewelry. I have never seen so many good things. If I had these, wouldn't my brothers have no worries about food and drink in the future?"
Xu Miaomiao smiled and said, "Madam Wang, today is a big day for Honglv. Do you have anything to tell him? Why don't we go in and talk about it!"
"Oh, it's just a marriage. What's there to be reminded of? Every woman has to get married anyway."
Wang Xuan looked at Xu Miaomiao and immediately said, "Now, the most important thing for us is to count all those gifts again. If someone cheats, we can confront him immediately. Otherwise, if these people leave, where can we go to seek justice? If they accept those fake things for no reason and hold such a banquet for nothing, wouldn't it be a great loss?"
Xu Miaomiao's mouth twitched twice. Seeing Wang Xuan didn't say anything, he was about to turn around and leave, but Wang Xuan immediately stopped him and said, "Madam Xu, Honglu is still a maid in your house. Now that she is married to Wang Mang, shouldn't you give her a share?"
Xu Miaomiao was suddenly stunned, her fists clenched in her sleeves. A voice beside her broke her silence: "Hey, where did you come from, woman, do you still have any shame? Don't you know that Wang Mang's betrothal gift was paid by our family? That much money is enough for you to eat and drink, why do you still ask us for money? Honglu is just a maid, my sister-in-law helped her because she felt too sorry for her. The guests who came today were also invited by the Song Mansion, and have nothing to do with you. Don't even think about taking any of these gifts."
As Song Weiwei said this, she pointed at Wang Xuan in front of her, but Wang Xuan didn't take it seriously and glanced at her. Song Weiwei curled her lips and saw Xu Miaomiao saying, "Where did you come from, girl? My daughter is now a member of the Song Mansion, that is, Madam Xu's. What does Madam Xu want to give me have to do with you? It's not your turn to fight for it here. Madam Xu, look at the servants in the Song Mansion. They really don't know the rules."
Hearing Wei Wei being said like this, Xu Miaomiao couldn't help it. Just when she wanted to retort, she was stopped by Xu Miaomiao. Xu Miaomiao looked at the woman in front of her and immediately said, "Honglu is a maid in my house, but she didn't sign a contract to sell herself, and he has already given you his monthly salary. Today he is getting married, and everything I prepared is to give him a decent look. It has nothing to do with your family. Besides, the guests who came today are all for the face of the Song Mansion, and they have nothing to do with you at all. If you want to get involved with the Song Mansion just because one of your maids married a man, don't you think it's too easy to get close to relatives? Madam Wang, please respect yourself and don't make today's wedding banquet a mess, otherwise you won't even be able to get the betrothal gift back."
After Xu Miaomiao finished speaking, she took Song Weiwei's hand and turned to leave.
Wang Xuan was still in shock after hearing what he said. It took her a long time to understand what Xu Miaomiao meant. She stared in shock, spitting in dissatisfaction, and said, "You two bitches, those things belong to us, but I am going to take them away today."
Xu Miaomiao didn't hear what he said at this time, but just instructed Xiao Si not to let him say anything more.
Xu Miaomiao walked in.
Compared to Wang Xuan's eagerness, her husband and son were much quieter, and they didn't care about other people's opinions at all. Xu Miaomiao just shook her head. If today wasn't Honglu's wedding banquet, he would have given this family some disgrace. Look at the person sitting in the main seat. Wang Mang was unable to move, so he sat in a wooden wheelchair, and Honglu pushed them behind him. This looked like a good marriage, if you ignored the impatience on Wang Mang's face.
Xu Miaomiao sighed. After they got married, Wang Mang sat down on a chair and started drinking alone. Xu Miaomiao ignored him, shook her head, and followed Gu Yuanniang to leave. Just as the two were about to speak in the yard, Xiao Si came over in a hurry and whispered in Xu Miaomiao's ear, "Madam, the woman you asked me to watch has secretly gone to the storeroom."
Hearing this, Xu Miaomiao nodded and waved his hand, and Xiao Xiaosi withdrew. Gu Yuanniang, who was standing by, naturally heard what he said. She looked at Xu Miaomiao and sighed, "I finally understand why Honglu is determined to marry Wang Mang. If I had parents like this, marrying Wang Mang would be my only choice."
