Chapter 1263 Giving each other gifts
"Your daughter-in-law who is not yet married! There's nothing wrong with her appearance, as long as she's not as fierce as her brother." It can be seen that Yuhua has no good feelings towards Hong Jiutong.
"Judging from her demeanor and behavior, this girl is very smart, she is definitely not stupid!" Shang Xi thought to herself, if Wan Lianxing arranged a marriage for Cheng Youning with a fool in order to consolidate his power, she, Shang Xi, would go to Wan Lianxing to argue with him even if it meant risking the crime of disrespect.
Yuhua looked back at the distance and said, "This girl looks good, but she's not very friendly. If it were any other person who saw their future mother-in-law, they would definitely come forward to talk to you very warmly. But you see she is standing next to her brother with her head lowered and her eyes submissive, as if she wanted to disappear right there. She's not even as friendly as her brother Hong Yunrang when he saw you!"
"Don't mention it. You're quite observant. I really didn't notice it if you hadn't mentioned it. Only after you said it did I feel that she was indeed very distant from me and seemed to be deliberately trying to avoid us."
Han Nianxia on the side laughed, "Cousin, this is not surprising. People are afraid that you are a wicked mother-in-law. How many women are not afraid of their mothers-in-law?"
Shang Xi sighed. She was so young and already the future mother-in-law of three women. She didn’t know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.
With mixed feelings in her heart, Shang Xi followed He Ye step by step and pulled her forward. He Ye didn't like seeing people and her eyes were always dodging and looking around like a thief.
Shang Xi said softly, "He Ye, we will go to the Dharma Hall in a while. Master Dao Qing is giving lectures there. You should listen more. It's very good. After listening, your mind will be at peace."
Yuhua said unhappily, "It's just like you listened carefully!"
"I have come to listen every year, but the sutras are too profound and I cannot understand them. Master Daoqing said that my wisdom is too shallow and my understanding is not enough!"
He Ye said hesitantly: "Aunt, if you don't understand, how can I understand? Why don't you go back?"
"Go back? We just got here. It doesn't matter whether you understand or not. It's good to understand, but there's no loss if you don't. Let's go and listen. Even if we understand a little, it's still a gain."
"Aunt, that's my brother Youning!"
Shang Xi looked in the direction that He Ye was pointing, "It really is your brother. Hey! Who is that little girl?"
Yuhua had very good eyesight, and she recognized her at a glance: "Your daughter-in-law, Chen Zi'e!"
"Zi'e is here too? The woman in green must be Chen Zi'e's mother Xiang Qin. I haven't seen them for a long time. I have to go over to say hello and have a few words with them."
As she spoke, Shang Xi walked over with a few people. She had already thought that she would definitely meet a lot of acquaintances when she went out in the next few days.
Several people greeted each other warmly. Shang Xi asked Xiang Qin, "Why don't you stay at my house when you come to Fengying?"
Xiang Qin took Shang Xi's hand and said, "Zi'e wanted to come visit, but her father was too stubborn to let her, so we stayed at the post station."
"Come to my house later. Why are you staying at the post station when you are already in Fengying?"
"Shang Xi, I'd better not go. The conditions at the post station are very good, much better than the one in our Mochun County, and the food they provide is also very delicious!"
"No matter how good the post station is, it's not as good as home. Listen to me, come to my house later, I will cook in the evening and let you taste my cooking skills."
"My old Chen won't agree!"
"Master Chen is so busy, does he have time to care where you and your daughter will have dinner tonight?"
Seeing Shang Xi's cordial invitation, Xiang Qin nodded and agreed, "Then we'd better obey your order. We can go to the mansion to pay a visit to Prince Pang and Princess Pang."
"If you and Zi'e can go, my parents-in-law will be very happy. They like your Zi'e very much. Whenever they mention Zi'e, they can't stop smiling."
Xiang Qin was very happy to hear Shang Xi's high praise for her daughter. She was most proud of the fact that Chen Gongxiang had a smooth career and was appreciated by the emperor, and her daughter was well-behaved and sensible, and had a good marriage. With these two points, many women in Mochun County envied her!
Chen Zi'e was very generous. She stood in front of Cheng Youning, not letting him go. She also reached out and took out a small purse from her body and handed it to Cheng Youning: "Brother, I embroidered a small purse for you. Take a look. Do you like it?"
Cheng Youning not only refused to take it, but also said expressionlessly: "Didn't you give me a small purse before? Besides, I don't need it, so you can give it to someone else!"
"I embroidered it specially for my brother. How can I give it to someone else? I'm afraid my brother won't like this purse."
Cheng Youning thought in his heart that he didn't like it, but he said: "I don't need this thing, I have a lot of this thing at home, if you can't give it away, just keep it for yourself!"
"You..." Chen Zi'e's lips flattened and her eyes turned red. Cheng Youning was also very unhappy. He thought to himself, I don't know what's wrong with this sister. She starts crying if she doesn't agree with something. Maybe it's because his mother is here. If his mother scolded him at this time, he would probably not be able to enjoy his vegetarian meal at noon.
Cheng Youning knew that he couldn't mess with this sister, so he compromised and said, "Then give it to me!"
Chen Zi'e's tears came and went quickly. Cheng Youning didn't see her shed a single tear, so she started laughing again.
Chen Zi'e personally put the pink purse on Cheng Youning's waist, and then praised: "The little purse really matches my brother."
Cheng Youning felt disgusted, but didn't dare to refute.
At this time, Shang Xi also said: "Cheng Youning, your sister Zi'e always gives you gifts, you should also reciprocate."
Cheng Youning looked at the things on her body, and it seemed that nothing was suitable for giving away, so she took off the two-foot-long multicolored pearl necklace around her neck, and then handed it to Chen Zi'e. Chen Zi'e was happy to see Cheng Youning giving her a gift, but she couldn't show it: "Brother, this is not suitable, it's too expensive!"
Cheng Youning saw that Chen Zi'e was saying one thing and thinking another, and he didn't want to argue with her, so he raised his hand and hung the necklace around Chen Zi'e's neck. Although he was not very willing, his action was very decent so that his mother, who was standing beside him, would not find fault with him. Cheng Youning also said politely, "These are all pearls cultivated in our fields. Just accept them."
Cheng Youning felt a little pain in his heart, because the pearls hanging around his neck must be the best ones ever grown in their family.
However, Shang Xi was particularly happy watching the two children giving each other gifts. She had long found Cheng Youning's pearl necklace annoying, not only because it looked gaudy, but also because she was afraid that Cheng Youning would suffer from cervical spondylosis. She had tried to persuade Cheng Youning in the past, but Cheng Youning would not listen. This time, she would not have to wear it anymore after giving it to Chen Zi'e.
