Chapter 89: Shameless
After spending dinner with Chen's mother, she returned to the east room to sit down. The maid brought her to the tea. Chen's mother looked at Chen Dan and asked, "Seven Girls, it's been more than two years since she was born. Have you ever read and read in Lu Taike?"
Chen Danxia frowned slightly, and Chen's mother asked what this meant? She wanted Chen Dan to sue her. Is she accusing her mother of treating her concubine's daughter harshly?
Zhou covered his mouth and laughed strangely, glanced at Tao, and said, "Mother, how can you ask this question? How can Miss Seven answer the answer?"
"The second aunt is too worried, there is nothing wrong with answering this." Chen Danxun pulled Shen Dan's sleeve and stood up. "Old lady, in Lutai, sister seven wants to follow her husband to learn to read and read, and learn to read with her master. Even Xiao Shi also read and read with her husband. However, my mother said that I was young and afraid that the needle would prick her hand and hurt herself, so she didn't let Xiao Shi learn to learn to read with her master, saying that she would not start learning when she was older."
The honest Chen Dan nodded next to him. Tao looked at Chen Danxun with complex eyes. She was as clever as she was in her dream, and she was still as wise as she was.
Chen's mother chuckled and said, "Seventh girl is already six years old, so don't live with your aunt anymore. Move to Xiaolou. Pearl, let them clean up the room in the next few days."
"Yes, old lady." Chen Danhui and Pearl replied in unison.
"Is the birthday gift ready?" Chen's mother asked Lin's insane words.
April 30th is the 60th birthday of Mrs. Xu San. Although the Xu family has long been separated, the relatives are endless. What's more, Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Xu are still alive. As the eldest wife, the Shen family, who is the eldest wife, also received invitations from the Xu family.
"Mother, this is a gift list. Please check it out." Lin was waiting for her to ask, and quickly presented the gift list with both hands.
Chen's mother took the gift list, and the maid serving next to her quickly took out the tortoiseshell mirror from the drawer next to her and put it on for Chen's mother.
"This gift is too simple." Chen's mother was not satisfied, so she closed the gift list, took off the tortoiseshell mirror, and looked at Tao, "Old third family, I remember that there are four blue-white jade carvings of Shoushan pine and cranes that are prolonged in life, as well as coral bonsai, all of which are taken out and added."
Chen Danxia was shocked. Why did Chen's mother feel so embarrassed to ask her daughter-in-law for something so blatantly?
Tao said as usual: "The old lady remembers it so well. It's all about ten years ago. I still remember that there were two things in my dowry. But four years ago, I went to Lutai to pay filial piety. Because these big items were not easy to carry and were afraid that they would be damaged, I gave them all to Maoxin Yinzhuang and exchanged them for silver notes."
Mother Chen's eyes widened and looked like she was devouring, "What did you say?"
Dow picked up the teacup and put it beside his mouth, covering the flashing smile, and repeated the next few sentences.
"You...you prodigal!" Chen's mother cursed angrily.
"Third brother and sister, you are really good. If you can't take things away, just stay at home. My mother and we are both in Jindu. Could it be that we can't even keep this little thing? You don't trust people too much. Third brother and sister, if I don't talk to you, you don't use your brain when doing things. Before you pay for things, you should ask your mother's opinions. Good things like this are hard to come by, and now you may not be able to buy them with money. Oh, third brother and sister, what's the point of asking you?" Zhou said a lot of things.
"Please calm down your anger, old lady!" Tao stood up and bent down deeply. "I am young and short-sighted and inadequate in doing things. Now the things have been sold out. The money has been spent almost in Lutai in recent years."
In a word, I don’t want anything or money. The sunny pills are hanging down, so that the people around me will not see her slightly raised lips.
Mother Chen gasped for a few times, stared at Tao, and said angrily: "First family, don't pretend to behave in front of me. What are your ideas? I'm clear about it. You just can't bear to take things out. Do you think the gift to the Xu family is for me? Is it for my concubine? You are a fool, the third brother is a doctor in the Ministry of Personnel, and the second master Xu is the Minister of Personnel, and the third brother is his subordinate. Who am I for? I am for the future of the third brother, and the Shen family."
Tao was unmoved and made a suggestion, saying, "Old lady, Mr. Xu Er is a literati, I think I like calligraphy and painting more."
Lin looked at Tao and his eyes moved slightly. When Tao came to marry, there were two boxes of calligraphy and paintings in the dowry. In order to please Chen's mother, she gave them all to Chen's mother. At that time, she secretly joked that Tao and Zhou were both idiots. Now it seems that Tao has woken up and knows to make things happen.
"Mother, the third brother and sister-in-law's words make sense. Add a famous painting to the painting. This gift..." Before Zhou finished speaking, his mother was so fiercely that she swallowed it back by Chen's mother.
Chen Danwei looked at the confused Zhou family and sighed softly. It was nothing to do with the second wife. His mother insisted on joining the party. She could not please her grandmother and offend her third aunt. Why bother?
Mother Chen bulged her eyes and stared at Tao. After a long time, she saw that Tao was standing there motionless, with no sign of surrender. Mother Chen took a deep breath, her eyelids drooped, and said in frustration: "Let everyone stay, everyone else have dispersed." Don't stand in front of her to make things difficult for her.
Lin stayed and everyone retreated.
"Three brothers and sisters." Zhou shouted.
"Mother, I made a pair of shoes for you yesterday. Please follow me to try it out to see if it fits?" Chen Danwei stopped her, not wanting her to continue offending the third wife. Didn't he see that the third uncle was promoted?
Chen Danwei pulled Zhou away while turning back and smiled apologetically at Tao.
"Hey hey, why are you anxious to try your shoes? It's not too late to ask me to say a few words to your third aunt before going over. Oh, don't drag it, don't drag it anymore, your hand will be broken. What did you eat? Why is your hand so strong? I don't..." Zhou's voice gradually became unable to hear clearly from near to far.
Dow curled the corners of his lips, held Chen Danxia's hand, and said, "Let's go, let's go back to the room."
"Madam, please stay." Chen Dannian suddenly spoke.
Dow turned around and looked at her in confusion, "What's the matter?"
"Madam, isn't my father's future more important than those things?" Chen Dannian asked. Chen Danxun opened his mouth in surprise and looked at Chen Dannian in disbelief. How dare a concubine daughter talk to her legitimate mother like this?
"Palm and mouth." Tao said coldly. Chen Dannian was not Chen's mother, she didn't need to deal with it patiently.
Zhaocai walked forward and slapped Shen Dannian in the face.
Chen Dannian was stunned for a moment, touched her face, stared at Zhaocai, "Did you hit me?"
"Miss Twelve, consider your identity carefully before speaking, otherwise it will be a slap next time." Zhaocai said contemptuously and turned his head back to Tao.
