Chapter 512
Master Beigong was stunned for a moment, and then asked his confidant to send his concubine and his son to the village in the south overnight. He only told the outside world that the child died after giving birth.
From then on, Master Beigong firmly believed that he had hidden diseases and could not give birth to healthy children. In order to keep this secret, he did not dare to let his wife and concubine be pregnant. He added a lot of musk kernels to the spices used in each room.
After drinking the tea from the new wife, each room had to give a gift for a meeting. Mrs. Beigong prepared a pair of jade bracelets of average quality, but they didn't put them in a box. The maid held it on a tray, for fear that others wouldn't know that she gave a jade bracelet.
Mingruo smiled and thanked him, let Qiushui take it well.
Mrs. Beigong also gave a pair of bracelets, but they were made of mutton fat jade, with a delicate and oily texture, which was obviously more expensive than the pair given by Mrs. Beigong. The three and four bedrooms were all given by the concubine of the old man Beigong, but the things they gave were not bad.
After this comparison, the jade bracelet given by Mrs. Beigong, the mother-in-law, was compared.
Mrs. Beigong only thought that her daughter-in-law did not grow up in Zhongzhou and had never seen anything good, so she chose a bracelet with an average appearance. She thought that the other three houses were not very fond of the daughter who was raised by Helian's family in the Western Frontier, but she didn't expect that everyone took out good things to make her face.
Mrs. Beigong second wife smiled at the corner of her lips. Everyone knows that Mrs. Beigong loves Beigong Langyue. Even if she doesn't like "Helian Yaohua" who grew up in the Western Frontier, she still wants to sell her a good deal in front of the old lady. Only her sister-in-law, who is not from a tall background and has shallow eyelids.
Mrs. Beigong was already dissatisfied with her eldest daughter-in-law. If the eldest son had not insisted on marrying her into the house, the Zhao family could not be ranked in the last family in Yunling City, and it was not within the scope of their mutual respect.
The girls who come from small families have no vision and are eager to move all the things from the Beigong family to their parents' home. This is also the reason why Mrs. Beigong personally took charge of the family over the years and did not hand it over to her eldest daughter-in-law.
Everyone present could see that Mrs. Beigong's face was unhappy.
Mrs. Beigong Er hurriedly came out to smooth things over: "What kind of meeting gift has my mother prepared for Yaohua? Take it out and open our eyes to you."
The old lady Beigong prepared a jade statue of Guanyin and a golden pearl with her head. She could tell at a glance that it was of great value.
When Mrs. Beigong saw this, she felt both ashamed and angry. She remembered that when she entered the door, the old lady only gave her a set of jade heads and faces, but she never gave her such a generous gift.
When Mingruo saw this, he didn't have much expression and just thanked him respectfully. Mrs. Beigong suspected that her daughter-in-law had never seen the world and could not tell the difference between the high and low of things.
Mingruo is used to big scenes. These things are not worth mentioning in front of the model where the gifts are given in boxes, which are all in boxes.
Mingruo herself is very in line with the eyes of Mrs. Beigong. She is delicate but not charming, gorgeous but not vulgar, and has the style of a noble girl. Looking at her behavior of being unstoppable and disgraceful, she becomes more and more satisfied.
"Okay, let's have breakfast." said Mrs. Beigong.
Mrs. Beigong second wife stepped forward to support Mrs. Beigong: "I asked the kitchen to make steamed lambs with milk, and it took me two hours to steam it. It was already very soft and my mother would eat more later."
"Okay." Old Lady Beigong smiled and nodded.
Ming Ruo and "Bigong Master" followed the Beigong Master and his wife and walked towards the flower hall where they had dinner together.
The Beigong family usually eats in their own yards, and sends one or two fresh or nourishing food every day to show their filial piety. Only on holidays or days like this, or when there are more children, will they eat together.
Two large round tables were placed in the flower hall, and men and women sat in separate seats.
Mrs. Beigong loved her eldest grandson, and the "Big Young Master" had always sat with Mrs. Beigong.
Beigong Langyue is introverted and usually eats the same meal. He only eats a plate of dishes in front of him. If someone picks up the dishes in front of him, he will not eat them again.
Everyone knows this habit, so every time I have a meal together, Madam Wei will choose a good stew to put in front of the eldest master, and others have agreed not to pick up the dishes in front of him.
This kind of information can be easily collected. But today it was a bit difficult for Si Haochen. Madam Wei put a bowl of stewed mutton in front of the "Big Master"...
Mingruo thought Si Haochen was a little pitiful. He didn't like eating stewed lamb the most. Anyway, he was a new wife, so it was normal not to understand the "rules".
Mingruo put fried tofu and stir-fried shrimps and put them in Si Haochen's bowl.
Madam Wei was about to say that the eldest young master would not eat the dishes picked by others, and he refused to even eat this bowl of rice. She also gave a wink to the little girl serving next to her and asked to serve another bowl of rice.
I saw that the strange "big young master" not only ate the dishes picked by the young lady, but also tasted delicious bites.
The performance of 'Beigong Langyue' surprised everyone, but the old lady Beigong found it interesting and said with a smile: "Yaohua, please pick up some bamboo shoots for Langyue."
Mingruo was speechless. Old Mrs. Beigong liked to tease people too much. Information said that Beigong Langyue didn't like to eat bamboo shoots and radish, and she wouldn't touch the dishes with these two ingredients.
Ming Ruoyiyan added a chopstick of bamboo shoots to his husband, thinking in his mind what Si Haochen would do.
The 'Bigong Master' did not refuse, but it was not as happy as before. A bamboo shoot was chewed in his mouth for a long time. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that he didn't like to eat this.
"Oh, I'm sorry." Old Mrs. Beigong only thought that her grandson would not know how to eat it, but she didn't expect it to happen. "Yaohua, hurry up and pick out all the bamboo shoots. Langyue doesn't like it."
"Okay." Mingruo did what Mrs. Beigong said, feeling in his heart that Oscar owed Si Haochen a little golden man.
The old lady Beigong thought for a moment and said, "Yaohua doesn't have to come to me every day to pay tribute. Just take care of Langyue."
"I've written it down." Ming Ruo was having a headache about this. Mrs. Beigong had to serve the old lady every day.
Logically speaking, she had to serve her mother-in-law first, and then the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law served the old lady together.
Looking at Mrs. Beigong's various performances today, she is just trying hard to give herself a warning. But my husband is now a fool and can't support her.
With Mrs. Beigong's words, she doesn't have to go to Mrs. Beigong to set rules, and she is happy!
Mrs. Beigong's hand holding chopsticks was too hard, and her knuckles turned white. She had been able to become a mother-in-law for many years, but the old lady protected her so tightly.
A breakfast meal was spent in everyone's thoughts, and Mingruo returned to Qingqiuyuan with a bunch of gifts and his stupid husband.
As soon as I entered the yard, I heard Xia Sheng say, "The eldest young master hasn't even wanted to draw recently... Come again in a few days..."
