Chapter 95 Gift
"Madam Zhu, please take care of yourself." The old lady rubbed her forehead, as if she was very tired of being bothered by Zhu Huaizhen, and looked like she didn't want to argue with Zhu Huaizhen.
After she finished speaking, the old lady waved her hand, signaling the old nanny to bring the tea.
The old lady was a little frightened when she saw Zhu Huaizhen, and her hands and feet were shaking even more.
Seeing this, Zhu Huaizhen smiled and tried to scare the old lady.
The old lady almost fell to her knees, but luckily she held onto the wooden support.
Zhu Huaizhen lifted the red scarf, glanced at it casually, and pretended to be very happy.
"Thank you so much, old lady, for your kindness in giving me a pair of silver-gilt jade earrings with kingfisher feather flower decorations. These are the favorite jewelry of Empress Chu Gu." Zhu Huaizhen bowed gracefully.
The main body of the ring is made of jade, with a silver-gilt phoenix inlaid with gold and kingfisher flowers inlaid inside. The core buds of the flowers are inlaid with a pearl, and the two sides of the outer ring are decorated with silver-gilt ingots hanging. Various materials complement each other, making it elegant and luxurious.
After hearing this, the old lady's face suddenly turned dark and she was extremely embarrassed.
Zhu Huaizhen was mocking the old lady, saying that she used fake products to make up the numbers and they were not worth much.
In contrast, the tea gift given by Duke Dingguo was a pair of gold-framed coral peach-shaped boxes, which were much more valuable.
Although the coral outside the golden frame is not the best and not a whole piece, it is glued together seamlessly without any flaws. It is very exquisite when used as a jewelry box.
"Thank you, eunuch." Zhu Huaizhen smiled much sweeter this time.
"Madam Zhu, there aren't so many rules in Duke Dingguo's mansion. If you want to go out, just go out. Don't be too restrained." Duke Dingguo whispered.
Duke Dingguo's meaning couldn't be clearer: go out more often and avoid conflicts with the Old Lady and Madam Chen.
This is how Princess Pingyang got through it, keeping aloof from matters that had nothing to do with her.
"Thank you for your understanding, eunuch. Unfortunately, my country has been destroyed, and my psychology is somewhat distorted." Zhu Huaizhen pretended to be sad.
Zhu Huaizhen could only guarantee that as long as the old lady and Madam Chen did not come to provoke her, she would not turn the Duke Dingguo's Mansion upside down.
Princess Pingyang was amused by Zhu Huaizhen's straightforwardness.
When she first married into the Duke Dingguo's mansion, she was simple-minded, elegant and dignified. She also wanted to live a happy life with the Duke Dingguo, so she was very tolerant of the old lady and Madam Chen.
"Zhenzhen, your personality is really likable. It's a pity that Ming'an is not so lucky. If you are wronged by Ming'an in the future, just come to me. He will have to listen to me whether he wants to or not." Princess Pingyang joked.
The tea gift given by Princess Pingyang was a bag of golden melon seeds, which was very practical.
Zhu Huaizhen held the heavy golden melon seeds and smiled innocently.
Princess Pingyang is really capable of dealing with people, but she has to deal with a son like Chen Ming'an who is blind and heartless.
Well, the tea ceremony was over. Zhu Huaizhen yawned and made a gesture to say goodbye and leave.
As a result, Mrs. Chen signaled the maid to also bring the wooden tray.
"Mrs. Chen, you are not a married woman. If you want to drink tea, you have to wait until Mrs. Gao gets married." Zhu Huaizhen curled her lips and rolled her eyes.
"Madam Zhu, there are not so many formalities in the Duke Dingguo's Mansion. My mother has specially prepared a tea ceremony for you. Please don't let her down." Gao Yan'er pinched her white handkerchief and cried.
"Well, I thought that Madam Chen was greedy for my return gift." Zhu Huaizhen muttered.
After hearing this, Mrs. Chen was so angry that her cheeks turned red. She immediately asked the maid to remove the wooden support and left in anger.
Zhu Huaizhen glanced at it and put on an innocent look.
She was right, after the tea ceremony, it was time to return the gift.
According to custom, the new daughter-in-law has to go to the house in person to return the gifts, which is really troublesome.
