C8 (2/2)
Unexpectedly, her son had only gone to school for a day and she had already met her cousin from the Su family when she came to pick him up.
And now, Big Shuiyun actually took the initiative to give away something …
The black gold obsidian stone was very precious, but it was the first time that Ji Yunshu took the initiative to give away something, and Lady Xue decided to help her son out. She stepped forward, took the pearl, took Wei Zhao's small hand, and put it on her wrist, then said to Du Su Shi, ”Cousin, please don't make a fuss. This pearl is only worth a few taels of silver, but it's a good item.
Lady Xue's words made the two audiences' hearts lurch. A few taels of silver was already enough for their family's living expenses for a year, not to mention that it was given out by a child.
Not to mention the Du Su Family, even Wei Zhao knew the difference between silver and copper coins. If Lady Xue said it wasn't worth a few coins, perhaps she would have accepted it, but they said it wasn't worth a few taels of silver.
Although he said this, his intentions were clear. If one wanted to listen in the opposite direction, it was definitely worth a few taels of silver. It might even be worth a dozen or twenty taels.
Wei Zhao glared at Xue Li Yun again, even if he meant well, at such an age, there should at least be some count of what he should give or give, right? For example, if she gave him some wild locust flowers, it would be a form of courtesy, but if she gave him a hen, it would be a waste!
Since it was Lady Xue who spoke, Wei Zhao pulled on her mother's hand, making it very clear that she didn't want it.
Du Su's wife wasn't stupid, she hurriedly took the beads, ”This is a good item to keep me safe. I should wear it. Big sister Zhao's skin is so thick, if I fall down, I won't feel sorry for you.”
Black gold obsidian is very rare in the market, and this string was even given to him during the New Year's meeting with his patron. She didn't see how much he cared, and in Lady Xue's heart, no matter how precious the item was, it couldn't compare to her son's. If it was given to a greedy person, Lady Xue naturally wouldn't give it away, but Lady Xue was still somewhat confident in her ability to deal with the Du Family.
When Du Su was still a little girl from the Su Clan, it wasn't that she hadn't gone to the Wang Clan with her grandmother. Lady Xue was the direct descendant of the Wang Clan and had seen many different kinds of people, but the Su Clan didn't know whether it was because they didn't want to curry favor or because they didn't want to curry favor with her. In short, they never thought much about taking advantage of the Wang Clan.
The two women pushed each other out of the way, causing Xue Qianyun to become impatient. He said in an unprecedented tone, ”Cousin, you gave me the locust flowers. You should return the gesture.”
Lady Xue couldn't help but be startled. Her eyes turned red. Her son had finally said one, two, three, four, five … Ten words, ten words, it was as the High Monk had said. Big Brother Yun had only been here for a few days, but he had already said a whole sentence, and he had even taken the initiative to say it. If he stayed here for another year or so, she would bring him back and have those people who said bad things take a look at him, and then wipe out their dirty thoughts as soon as possible.
Wei Zhao was also internal, this gift was too heavy. It was like giving you an egg, and you giving me a golden egg of the same size. Although it was all an egg, an egg was still different from an egg!
Lady Xue's attitude was firm, so Wei Zhao reluctantly accepted her in the end.
Many years later, Xue Qianyun took the beads and said, ”You already took my token, so you should have married me!”
Wei Zhao said, ”I only accepted it when you said it was in return.” Besides, Lady Xue's eyes had been red at the time, and she had put on the air that she would cry if Wei Zhao didn't accept her. This was why Wei Zhao had accepted her.
Xue Yu smirked, ”A gift in return? Why can't I remember? What did you give me, and how can I return this gift? ”
Wei Zhao was speechless. If she dared to say that he had given him a basket of locust flowers, he would dare to ask where the locust flowers were. Wouldn't that give him an excuse to tease her? Besides, the Sophora Flower's return gift was a string of expensive beads. This was too ridiculous …
Mrs. Xue was not a person to be reckoned with, so when they arrived in Pingxian, before they found a good house, and with the official position in mind, he hurried back with Xue Qianyun in tow, leaving behind a few elderly family members to help them search for a house.
As soon as Lady Xue returned to the inn and sent Xue Qianyun to rest, she called her trusted housekeeper to ask about the matter of the house.
The butler explained a few things, but Lady Xue wasn't satisfied. She just listened to his introduction and didn't even have the intention of taking a look. ”Let's look around a bit more.”
The house in Ping County was not big, not to mention searching in the outskirts of the county, even in the county, it would not be easy to find a house that could satisfy his wife when compared to the Xue Manor in the capital, but he had no choice but to listen to his master's instructions.
On this trip, she had left her dowager with her eldest son and daughter-in-law, and had only brought four young girls with her. On this trip to the Du Family, she hadn't brought a single one, as one of them was very close to her. Furthermore, because Wei Zhao was a classmate of Zhao Yun, she didn't want to leave an impression of arrogance on anyone.
After the maidservants finished washing up for her, Lan Xiangxu sat on a small stool in front of the bed and began to massage her feet.
Without her confidante, Lady Xue could only quietly think about things.
