Chapter 389 When the eldest aunt meets the Chen family
"The second child's house is really grand."
When he walked to the door of Zhu Ping'an's house, the uncle Zhu Shouren looked at the gate of the mansion with red bricks and green tiles, and couldn't help sighing. Uncle Zhu Shouren hadn't come to Zhu Ping'an's house for quite a while. A few days ago, Zhu Ping'an's house had been refurbished, and it was much better than the number one landlord's house in the village. At first glance, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Second brother, our parents are here to see you."
Without knocking on the door, the uncle Zhu Shouren yelled from outside the door, and pushed the door open first, followed by Mrs. Zhu and Mrs. Zhu, followed by the eldest aunt and the others, and finally the family of the third uncle.
At this time, mother Chen was cutting silk cloth with her daughter-in-law Juaner on the long table in the yard, and was preparing to make two clothes for Zhu Pingan during the slack season. The silk cloth was left by those who came to visit a few days ago. Mrs. Chen picked out a few bolts of material that felt comfortable and left them for Zhu Ping'an to make clothes for.
Father Zhu is grinding a **** next to the well in the yard. There is a lot of land in the house, and a lot of farm tools are used. It is also a time-consuming job to sharpen one by one before work, but Father Zhu likes to do it.
Big brother Zhu Pingchuan took over Zhu's father's shift and drove the ox cart back and forth between the town and the village, so he was not at home.
Hearing the voice of the uncle Zhu Shouren, the three people who were busy in the yard raised their heads, and looked at the Zhu family's old house with some astonishment.
"Father, mother, you are here." Father Zhu put down his work and greeted him.
"Father, mother." Chen stopped the scissors in his hand and called out.
"Grandfather, grandma, sit down, I'll go and pour tea for you." Zhu Pingjun's daughter-in-law Juan'er put down the things in her hands, went to the house to move chairs and stools, and then went to serve tea and water.
"Ahem, um." The uncle coughed and nodded.
"Ah, Second Sister-in-law, this is the best silk and satin, isn't it? Yay, look at the color, it's so beautiful." Seeing the silk and satin spread on the table in the yard, the fourth aunt saw the silk and satin spread on the table in the yard, her eyes lit up with green eyes, and she let out a groan. , rushed to Chen Shi with a stride, and couldn't help but put his hand on the silk and began to touch it.
"Ah, look at how bright the color is. Ah, why is it so light and thin? It feels so soft and comfortable. Our family has raised silkworms, but we have never touched silk. Second sister-in-law, you are really lucky."
Little Fourth Aunt touched the silk with her hands, and let out a groan from time to time, unwilling to let go of her hands.
Zhu Pingjun's daughter-in-law squinted one eye, looked at the fourth aunt with disdain, and flattened her mouth in disdain.
"This color is too plain. It's for the pig. I still have half a horse in the house. If you like the color, you can take it. Of course, the same goes for parents, sister-in-law and second siblings." After listening to Xiaosi My aunt boasted that she was blessed, and Mrs. Chen had a smile on her face. She was planning to give some cloth to the old house, and now she had the opportunity to be a good person.
The eldest aunt is used to being strong, especially in front of Chen Shi. Seeing Chen showing her face, she is not to be outdone.
Putting up her whole body, the eldest aunt also walked up to Mrs. Chen, pretending to look at the silk and satin, but she deliberately brushed the hair on her ears to show off the pair of gold earrings on her ears, and deliberately looked at Mrs. Chen. Shi waved in front of him.
"It's hot today, and my ears are so uncomfortable with stuffy hair." The auntie said in front of Chen, shaking the gold earrings while brushing the hair at the base of her ears.
Mrs. Chen glanced at the aunt's gold earrings, with a strange expression on her face.
Seeing this, the eldest aunt thought that Mrs. Chen was envious, and became more and more excited.
"That's not true, it's getting hotter and hotter these days. After working for a while, my hand is hot."
As Chen said, he rolled up his sleeves, and then a gold bracelet appeared shining brightly in front of the aunt, which almost didn't dazzle the aunt's eyes.
Auntie.
"Oh, this one, this is what Shouyi insisted on buying, I can't say no to him..." Mrs. Chen exclaimed as if she had just noticed the look in her aunt's eyes, and put down her sleeves again.
Father Zhu looked up when he heard the words, Mrs. Chen immediately gave Father Zhu a hard look, and then Father Zhu lowered his head again.
It’s because I insist on buying it, it’s because you insist on buying it.
If it was in modern times, Father Zhu would probably use such an expression that the baby is suffering but the baby can’t say it. At that time, Mrs. Chen followed Mrs. Zhu to the town to look at the shop, and saw such a bracelet. After only one glance, Mrs. Chen left I can't move.
In fact, this bracelet is made of silver, and there is a layer of gold on the outside. Zhu's father thinks that a bracelet costs more than three taels of silver, which is not worth it, but Mrs. Chen likes it. bought.
Auntie.
When the aunt encountered setbacks, Zhu Pingjun's wife came forward and said something about how much of this kind of silk and satin their natal family had, and that if they couldn't finish wearing it, there would be bugs, and there was a shop in their family that sold silk and satin. Category.
Then the auntie's eyebrows were beaming again, and she stretched out her hand and gestured with two fingers, "Yes, yes, you don't know that the shop in Jun's daughter-in-law's family has this amount of gross profit per year."
It means two hundred taels of silver. After speaking, the aunt felt that she had the upper hand again.
At this moment, people came to the yard again. There was the sound of a carriage outside, and then a man who looked like a gentleman came in, followed by the steward and the servant girl.
After seeing the ceremony, he explained the purpose of his visit. This is an official from the town next door. He came to visit Zhu Pingan specially. Of course he also knew that Zhu Pingan was not there. After exchanging pleasantries for a while, a gift list was delivered, and then ordered the steward and the servant girl to move the gift from the carriage.
Not to mention the gift boxes and other things brought out from the car, but just talking about the first gift of one hundred taels of silver on the gift list, which made the uncle Zhu Shouren who read the gift list click his tongue.
One hundred taels?
This is still a free gift. Hearing this, the eldest aunt looked at Mrs. Chen, and instantly became jealous like a rabbit.
Just for one visit, one hundred taels of silver is given away. Some time ago, there were 10 or 20 horse-drawn carriages visiting every day. How much would it cost? No wonder everyone has to read books, no wonder his father always said that there is a golden house in the book, so there really is.
Thinking about it, the auntie's eyes are even redder. As for the handsome daughter-in-law's shop earning two hundred taels a year, it's a drop in the bucket compared to this.
The eldest aunt thought about what she had shown off just now, and her face turned red at this moment, of course, her eyes were even redder.
As for the little fourth aunt, if it wasn’t for the little fourth uncle’s sharp eyesight and quick hands, she would have jumped on the gift and yelled and turned into an airport security inspector.
Just when the eldest aunt was jealous, Chen felt even more uncomfortable.
"No, no, we don't accept gifts, no silver, no expensive ones, no amount of silver."
Chen's expression was like cutting flesh, tilting his head deliberately not to look at the various expensive gifts that were brought down from the carriage, shaking one hand vigorously at the visitor, and firmly refusing.
Of course, the other hand pinched the flesh on Father Zhu's arm.
God knows how hard it is for Chen to refuse, and how painful it is, it hurts more than cutting flesh.
Uh
Of course, Father Zhu should know, his arm was almost pinched green by Mrs. Chen.
Chen's idea is very simple. His son said that accepting gifts would be bad for his future, so he would not accept them. Although how much I feel in my heart, but for the sake of my son, I am determined not to accept it.
"what?"
The uncle Zhu Shouren almost tore up the gift slip in his hand when he heard the words, not to mention the eldest aunt and the fourth aunt. His surprised expression was a hundred times more startled than when he met a ghost.
In the end, at the insistence of Mrs. Chen and Father Zhu, all the valuable gifts on the gift list were brought back by the visitor, leaving only some food and other not very valuable things, and a piece of cloth. This was the result of the visitor’s insistence. .
Otherwise, according to Chen's intention, it is estimated that only leaving a box of pastries is enough.
