Chapter 14: Pleasing the Old Lady
After drinking the new wife''s tea, Tang Gang and others had no plans to leave. They said they wanted to talk to the old lady, and they also said that today was a good day and the family should have dinner together. Tang Yong consciously proposed to leave. None of the Hou''s mansion spoke out and didn''t even say a word of politeness.
After only a family of people were left in the house, Tang Gang wanted to speak but stopped. The old lady asked Tang Rong about the dowry. Tang Gang calmly gave Tang Rong all the remaining dowry in public. Several large boxes were locked, and no one knew what it was inside, but just estimates from the quantity, there should be little difference.
Tang Mo winked at his mother, and Wang said to Tang Rong: "Yesterday your father said he would give 30% of your mother''s dowry to your younger brothers and sisters, but your younger brothers and sisters told me that she had no reason to accept your mother''s things. Your father and I thought that it was your mother''s, and we parents would give it to you two thousand taels of silver for your younger brothers and sisters."
Tang Rong was caught off guard and always felt that this was not right, but he couldn''t say it well, so he had to give in, "It''s up to my father and mother to decide everything."
Wang sent a box to Xin''an. Xin''an opened the lid and saw the neat silver notes inside. Tao Yiran felt very worried. They were all new daughters-in-laws who had married in. In such a short time, the second wife got a farmhouse and a set of faces. Now she was given silver. She didn''t care about these common things, but this was clearly a slap in the face, and she almost said that she was sorry to Xin''an.
Xin An closed the lid and personally sent the box back to Wang''s hand. "Mother, the second young master had a long talk with me last night, promising to treat me well in the future. I didn''t leave with my mother yesterday, so I decided to live a good life with the second young master. How could I accept this money?"
"Mom, keep it. It''s not easy to take charge of the family. The mansion costs a lot, even if I have a little intention."
Wang''s eyes were full of surprise, "Good boy, what you said is true?"
"real."
Wang cried with joy and started excitedly at the old lady, "Mother, can you hear it?"
The old lady naturally heard it, her face full of satisfaction, "You can figure it out that is the second boy''s blessing, and it is also the blessing of you, a mother-in-law."
"Nanlu, go and bring the crown that the Queen praised me back then, and then bring the bracelet of pink tourmaline."
Tang Mo said in his heart twice, and he said how could this woman who was jealous of money push out the money she got? It turned out that she was taking a small loss and taking advantage of her.
This is a lesson for him on the spot.
The things arrived soon. The head crown given by the queen was made of palaces, which was unparalleled and was hired to maintain it every year. Not to mention anything else, the two strings of round and plump pearls on it are worth a lot of silver.
The old lady first took the pink tourmaline beads and said how precious the origin of the beads was. Finally, she handed them to Tao Yiran''s hand with a serious and serious look, "Your skin is as bright as jade, and it is the most pink."
If you take it out alone, Tao Yiran will naturally like it. After all, the bracelet is also a rare boutique, but no matter how luxurious the bracelet is in front of the crown, it will be eclipsed. "Thank you grandma."
She looked faint and did not show much like her. The old lady felt uncomfortable immediately. She was the old lady of the Hou Mansion and the most noble person in the Hou Mansion. Even if she gave a piece of grass, she should say that the grass was not an ordinary product.
When it was Xin''an''s turn, she knew very well that the old lady liked her vividly performed what accident, surprise, incredible, flattered, grateful, cautious, and extremely cherished to the old lady. The transition from the expression level alone made the old lady feel happy and very comfortable.
When giving things to the younger generation, she hopes that the younger generation can be so grateful and make her happy.
Rubbing Xin An''s hand, "Good boy, I will always come to my grandmother to talk to you if you have nothing to do in the future."
"I can do it even if my grandmother doesn''t say it. I feel particularly friendly when I see her grandmother at first sight. My grandmother looks like my own grandmother, so kind and friendly." The old lady smiled even more happily, and felt that this granddaughter-in-law is destined to be with her.
Xin An smiled brightly, and she didn''t even notice it herself. She looked very young at this moment.
Tang Mo saw that all the benefits were Xin An, so he came forward like her and said with a smile, "Grandma is so partial. With a granddaughter-in-law, I will lose my grandson. I also think my grandmother is so kind. Why don''t my grandmother also reward me?"
Xin''an had goose bumps all over the floor when he said this, but the old lady couldn''t help laughing, "This guy came to me to pay homage to me before, and I only knew how to see the good things in my room. I''m afraid that I''ve been thinking about it for a long time, but I finally gave him a chance to speak."
I thought I had grown up a little after this incident. I knew the benefits of pleasing her, the old lady, and she was also open-minded. Even if she brought the treasures in the room underground, she could only become mud. It would be better to reward the people who made him happy.
"Now my grandmother is not biased. You brothers will just pick them from the treasure rack and like to take them away."
The things that can put on the old lady''s treasure troupe never look at the meaning or style, but only the price. Tang Mo was refreshed and thought that it was really good to keep up with this woman''s footsteps. He also thought that she died behind many people in her previous life, so he naturally understood everyone''s preferences, and it was certain that he was right to follow her.
"My grandson knows that my grandmother loves me."
After saying that, he said to Tang Rong, "Brother choose first."
Tang Rong couldn''t stand the philanthropic appearance of the two of them flattering the old lady, and saw the things on the treasure shelf being placed together like novices, and they were indecent. After bowing to thank him, he didn''t choose it for a long time because after careful look, he found that everything was hard to find, and he didn''t know when the items on the treasure shelf had been replaced.
"Why don''t you choose a brother?"
Seeing Tang Rong staring at a pastel vase, Tang Mo stepped forward happily, "Grandmother''s treasure is rare on the market. I can''t bear to take my eyes away every time I come."
As he said that, he patted his head in annoyance, "I forgot that my elder brother doesn''t like these gold, silver and jade artifacts, and prefers paintings and topaz."
Tang Rong straightened his back slightly, and reached out to take out a rose with dewdrops from the blue porcelain bottle that day. He was so elegant and dashing. "I dare not take away what my grandmother loves. This rose is just right, demonic but not gorgeous, fragrant and pleasant."
As he said that, he glanced at Tao Yiran from the corner of his eyes. Tao Yiran blushed and felt extremely happy.
Tang Rong smiled slightly. He knew that the old lady was the favorite of the hundreds of treasures. The old lady was so precious that she was always very fond of her. She never said she would give her to her. Today, she was just Tang Mo''s shameless begging her. He claimed to have guessed the old lady''s thoughts and looked at Tang Mo with a smile, "Brother Mo, it''s your turn to choose."
Tang Mo suffered too much in his hands. For a moment, he was unable to get the pulse. He looked at Xin An with a clue, "Where do you want, I''ll bring it for you."
Xin An acted shyly, "Grandmother, look at him."
The old lady was just dispelled by Tang Rong, but was amused by Xin An''s actions, "This is because I have you in my heart, so I should be happy."
"Grandmother bullies me too."
“Hahaha~~~”
