Chapter 380 People are divided into different levels

The old lady of Weibei Hou looked at Cen Yueyi slowly.

Cen Yueyi's back is straight. Although she is thin, she reminds people of the unyielding green bamboo.

The old lady of Weibei Marquis showed a bit of satisfaction in her eyes.

She called Cen Yueyi forward. She was not the least bit unhappy about her late arrival. Instead, she patted Cen Yueyi's hand lovingly and praised her with a cheerful face: "... She is a good child. Not bad, not bad."

Cen Yueyi's eyes were obviously somewhat flattered and surprised, and a blush appeared on her slightly pale face, but she did not get carried away by the compliment. She calmly said thank you: "Thank you for the compliment, old lady."

The smile in the old lady's eyes became even brighter.

She glanced at Nan Yan, who understood and took out a golden box from her sleeve like a magician, held it in her hand and presented it to her.

The old lady of Weibei Marquis said lovingly, "This is a meeting gift. I gave it to your sister when you were not here."

Cen Yueyi understood what the old lady of Weibei Marquis meant. This meeting gift was not exclusive to her, so she calmly accepted the brocade box and thanked the old lady of Weibei Marquis again.

When Cen Yuehua saw that the brocade box in Cen Yueyi's hand was somewhat different from hers, she couldn't help but stretch her neck slightly to take a look.

Mrs. Jiang Taihou's face still did not look very good. She coughed slightly, and Cen Yuehua sat up straight with a bit of resentment.

The old lady of Weibei Marquis doesn't care what these people think.

She said calmly, "This is Xingxing's first time at Marquis Jiangtai's mansion. Could you trouble Madam Jiangtai to let the two Miss Cens accompany Xingxing for a walk in the garden?"

Marquis Jiangtai's wife saw that the old lady of Marquis Weibei seemed to have something to say to her alone, so she naturally agreed.

Cen Yuehua also wanted to know what gift the old lady of Weibei Marquis gave to Cen Yueyi when she met him. She hesitated for a moment and then agreed.

Cen Yueyi responded with a calm "yes".

Cen Yueyi took Xingxing's hand, and Cen Yuehua was not to be outdone and took Xingxing's other hand, and the three of them went into the garden.

The only people left in the main hall at this moment were the old lady of Marquis Weibei and the wife of Marquis Jiangtai.

Madam Jiang Taihou smiled and said, "I wonder what the old lady wants to say?"

Although the old lady of Weibei Marquis is hot-tempered, she is also very well-mannered when it comes to speaking appropriately.

"I have heard before that the two daughters of the Marquis of Jiangtai were very well-bred, both in quietness and action." The old lady of the Marquis of Weibei smiled faintly, "If anyone is lucky enough to marry them, that family will be very blessed."

Madam Jiang Tai's heart almost jumped out of her throat. She looked eagerly at the old lady of Weibei Marquis, her voice trembling: "What the old lady means is..."

The old lady of Weibei Marquis smiled at the wife of Jiangtai Marquis for the first time today: "You guessed it right. I came here today because someone asked me to propose marriage."

Mrs. Jiang Taihou's face flushed with excitement!

The family that can invite the old lady of Weibei Marquis must be of high status. Which family is it?

Was it the Shi Enbo Mansion where she took Huaer to visit a few days ago, or the home of the Minister of Rites?

Huaer, her Huaer!

This is marrying into a wealthy family!

Mrs. Jiang Taihou didn't even think about Cen Yueyi. After all, Cen Yueyi had just returned to the capital not long ago. In the eyes of Mrs. Jiang Taihou, Cen Yueyi was a conservative person and not likable at all. Who would like her!

…

At this time, there was a slight chill in the garden. Cen Yueyi walked with Xingxing for a while, and then took Xingxing to a pavilion surrounded by curtains to block the wind for some tea and snacks.

Cen Yuehua couldn't sit still anymore, so she stretched out her arm and revealed the jade bracelet on her wrist.

Cen Yuehua's tone was a bit boastful, but she looked innocent and naive: "Sister, look, this is the jade bracelet that the old lady of Weibei Marquis gave me. Does it look good?"

Cen Yueyi took a look, nodded, and commented truthfully: "It looks good."

Cen Yuehua's eyes moved: "Then let me see my sister's. What gift did the old lady of Weibei Marquis give to my sister? My sister is older than me, so I think her gift must be better than mine, right?"

Cen Yuehua said this, but in her heart she didn't think that the old lady of Weibei Marquis would give the old-fashioned and boring Cen Yueyi a better meeting gift.

Cen Yueyi rolled up her sleeves and said calmly, "The gift given by the elders is a token of their thoughts, not something to be compared with."

As Cen Yueyi said this, Cen Yuehua felt more and more that what the old lady of Weibei Marquis gave to Cen Yueyi must not be as good as what she gave to her.

Cen Yuehua became more and more proud, and could not help but snort and laugh: "Sister, don't deceive yourself. People are divided into different levels, and this meeting gift is naturally divided into different levels. It's naturally different."

Xing Xing couldn't bear to listen any longer, so she put down the hot tea in her hand and said seriously, "Sister, the old lady is not that kind of person."

Cen Yuehua glanced at Xingxing, feeling a little unhappy.

"Can't the old lady like me more?" Cen Yuehua said, "As long as we are human, we will naturally have feelings for each other. This is normal."

Xingxing opened her mouth, but then closed it.

Cen Yuehua felt that she had rendered Xingxing speechless, and she won.

She became more and more proud, and simply leaned over to take out the gift from the old lady of Weibei Hou from Cen Yueyi's sleeve.

Cen Yueyi's face changed slightly and she began to dodge.

Cen Yuehua tried to pull Cen Yueyi's sleeve again.

Cen Yueyi was a little angry, and whispered with some anger: "Yuehua, let go!"

Cen Yuehua, however, didn't take Cen Yueyi seriously at all, and snorted, "I won't let you go! If you have the guts, just tell Daddy. Daddy only likes me anyway, and when I act coquettishly, Daddy will give in to me in everything."

As she spoke, Cen Yuehua took advantage of Cen Yueyi's daze and snatched the meeting gift box given by the old lady of Weibei Marquis from Cen Yueyi's sleeve.

Cen Yueyi showed a somewhat forbearing look on her face: "That's enough, don't make too much trouble."

Cen Yuehua smiled proudly at Cen Yueyi: "What are you talking about, sister? I just want to see the gift you received. You wouldn't be so stingy, would you? Or are you saying that because your gift isn't as good as mine, you are too embarrassed to show it to me?"

As she spoke, Cen Yuehua proudly lifted the lid of the brocade box.

The expression on her face froze slightly.

This is an exquisite jade hairpin.

Judging from the quality, the hairpin and her bracelet should be made of the same piece of jade. Although they seem to be of the same value, the meaning of the jade hairpin is far more important than that of the jade bracelet!

For a moment, Cen Yuehua's face was distorted!

Seeing that Cen Yuehua didn't say anything for a while, Cen Yueyi patiently asked, "Can you return the gift to me?"

Cen Yuehua gritted her teeth and smiled: "Of course you can, sister."

As she spoke, Cen Yuehua put the hairpin back into the brocade box, and then acted as if she was going to stuff the brocade box back into Cen Yueyi's sleeve herself.

Although Cen Yueyi had only been in the capital for a short time, she had her things robbed by Cen Yuehua more than once, openly or secretly.
