Chapter 057 Five-Year Start
Chapter 057 Five-Year Start
Xu's face changed. Su Jin's words were too irritating. Xu felt like someone had stuffed her mouth full of poop. She was so angry that she wanted to spit.
But after all, this was the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion, so she didn't dare to jump up and point at Su Jin's nose and scold her. She could only angrily say, "Madam, what do you mean by this?!"
Su Jin covered her mouth and chuckled, "I explained it so clearly, but you still don't understand? I think Madam seems to be very good at raising children. I guess all the men in the Shangshu Mansion are outstanding, right?"
"you!"
Xu's face suddenly turned purple.
Minister Chen had a successful career, but unfortunately none of his children inherited the old minister's virtues. His only youngest son studied hard, but unfortunately, after three years of imperial examinations, he still failed.
Su Jin didn't care about Xu's expression. Even if Xu died of anger in the Shangshu Mansion today, she deserved it. Who asked her to come to her, the mistress, and give orders? Even if she couldn't do it, there was still the Yong'an Marquis Mansion behind her. It was not Xu's turn to say anything about them.
So she continued, "I heard that Minister Chen's eldest son likes to invent things. Today he's researching how to change the wheels into square ones, and tomorrow he's researching how to eat with both hands free. It seems he's also going to build a toilet where you can poop while lying down. In my opinion, this kid must be very talented, definitely better than our Brother Xuan..."
!!!!!!!
Now even Chen Huailiang couldn't sit still.
Who doesn't have a few unreliable sons? Others are reincarnated to repay their fathers, but these are here to seek revenge. They are so angry that they want to make their fathers die. It's really hard to mention it. When I mention it, my heart, liver, spleen, stomach and kidneys ache.
Chen Huailiang blew his beard angrily and said, "Old Marquis, let's just leave it at that for today. Let's go through the formalities on another day. We will be waiting for good news from Brother Yun."
After saying that, he stood up and left. After all, there was no point in chatting any further today. A grown woman could shut up his family of three. What was the point of chatting? Let's go!
Xu stood up very unhappily and glared at Su Jin fiercely. She thought to herself that this lady was just as the legend said, narrow-minded and petty, and really difficult to get along with.
Alas, poor Lian'er, if she marries into this family, won't she have to always have to look after this mother-in-law's face?
The more Xu thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt.
"I'm going to see my in-laws off!"
Lin Wanhui stood up and walked out, extremely enthusiastic. Gu Changqing and Su Jin in the room did not move. Obviously, no one remembered to see her off, but having Lin Wanhui alone was enough.
After watching Lin Wanhui and her people leave, Madam Zou burst into laughter, raised her head and looked at Su Jin, saying lovingly, "Madam, are the things you said about her eldest brother true?"
Su Jin nodded: "It's true. Brother Xuan told me this as a joke. Minister Chen's eldest son is a senior in their school. Everyone knows about him."
Gu Zhao also pinched his beard, nodded and smiled: "Well said, humph, this Minister Chen, I am not dead yet, but he already doesn't take Yong'an Marquis Mansion seriously. If you can improve yourself, Changqing, you won't be looked down upon by such a person."
Gu Changqing looked a little uncomfortable.
The period of the imperial examination happened to be the time when he and Lin Wanhui were involved, and he was not originally cut out for a career in politics, but now with the protection of his father, it was already good enough for him to be a fifth-rank official.
He quickly said, "Father, Jin'er has already found Mr. Zhuzhi from her mother's home in Hexi. I'm sure that the grandchildren will be outstanding."
Jin'er?
The old couple looked at each other. It had been a long time since Gu Changqing called Su Jinjin'er. And it was said that he had gone to Liuting Pavilion to have dinner with the lady and several children last night?
Have these two reconciled?
Both Mrs. Zou and the old marquis were very happy. There was nothing better than a harmonious family.
"I've also heard of Mr. Zhuzhi's name." Gu Zhao nodded with satisfaction and looked at Su Jin again. The more he looked at her, the more he liked her. He really made the right choice in this daughter-in-law.
"Madam, please take some time to tell your parents that I thank them."
"Hey, I'll have someone prepare some gifts for my in-laws someday." Zou turned to look at Mother Wen and said, "Go find the lotus crown in my box. I think the material and style will look best on you. It will bring out the essence of the lady."
How could Mother Wen not understand what the old lady meant? She smiled and nodded: "I'll go get it right away."
This is another thing to give to the lady!
"Yes, there are also matching phoenix hairpins and pearls. Bring them along. Our lady can't go out without fashionable accessories."
"well!"
Mother Wen said yes repeatedly, and Su Jin raised his eyebrows slightly, looking forward to the good things he was about to get.
Lotus crown?
The name sounds beautiful, but I don’t know whether it is made of gold or jade. In any case, any material is good and valuable.
Su Jin was in high spirits. Praising her a hundred times was not as good as giving her some practical benefits. Mother-in-law, you are such a good person~~
Su Jin was thinking of Zou as a good person in her heart, but she didn't know that Zou was also thinking of Su Jin as a good person in her heart.
This lady has become more and more sensible recently. She manages the shop well. Her parents' home also sent Mr. Zhuzhi to visit. Xuan'er and the fourth girl have also become much more restrained. I heard that these two children have not gone out recently.
How wonderful! This is what a good mistress should be like, so reward, a big reward!
Soon, Mother Wen came with three maids, each holding a wooden box in her hands, which made Su Jin's eyes widen.
Wow, she is worthy of being the wife of Marquis Yong'an. She is so generous. It must be filled with so many good things. It's so cool.
Su Jin's eyes sparkled, and soon the box was opened.
The first box was filled with pearls, separated by grids, some large and some small. In the middle was the largest pearl, about the size of a quail egg, extremely round, reflecting soft light, and it was obvious at first glance that it was worth a fortune.
Zou smiled and said, "I've seen other girls use this thing as decoration. Take it and dress up however you want."
Su Jin nodded softly: "Thank you, mother."
Then he opened the second box, and inside were two phoenix hairpins. They were a pair and of just the right size. The phoenix shapes were lifelike, and there were gold tassels hanging underneath. They must have looked dazzling and graceful when she walked, right?
Su Jin was delighted. A box of pearls and two phoenix hairpins; this was already a huge profit!
As for the third box, it must contain the lotus crown. Come, let her see how precious it is.
The box opened, revealing a beautiful lotus crown inside.
The lotus crown is not big but is very delicately made. Each petal looks real, white with a hint of green, like the finest mutton-fat jade. It is made of gold thread, lifelike, and so thin that it is almost translucent.
Su Jin was surprised and asked, "Mother, is this Yu Lian?"
Zou smiled happily and said, "You must have made a mistake. This is not jade."
"Then this is..."
Zou smiled and said, "Ivory."
Su Jin:!!!
Is it the ivory that started in five years?
