Chapter 734: She was so angry

Ma Ruren calmed down and looked at his niece irritably.

“She has already paid for it, can my aunt still **** it from her head?”

Ma Juan snorted unconvincedly,

“My aunt is too talkative. A country woman still wants to curry favor with my aunt. She has such a beautiful idea. She is reluctant to even give her a hairpin. There must be something wrong with her brain.”

The shopkeeper next to him couldn't help but tremble when he heard Ma Juan's tone.

He just listened to it from beginning to end. It was flattering and sarcastic. I really don’t know how this girl heard it. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't afford to offend the person in front of him, he would have really wanted to applaud Mrs. Bai just now.

People were smiling lightly and even making sarcasm and ridicule to pick people up. As long as you are a little bit greedy, you will be worse than those ignorant women in the countryside.

Ma Juan stood nearby, looking at the jewelry in the tray, with envy flashing in her eyes. If she had such an exquisite jewelry, she would definitely put it on the bottom of the box as a dowry.

Sometimes she couldn't help but smile bitterly. In the entire Song Dynasty, there was no more miserable mistress than her. She spends her days tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall, and the company's income is rising and losing every month. If this continues, she will have to use her own little body to make up for it.

Hearing the tone of the county magistrate's wife, Shopkeeper Su curled his lips shamelessly. Everyone's carving skills are not street stalls, so you can get as much as you want.

“Auntie, what do you think? Hurry up, they will run away if you hesitate any longer.”

The purpose of her birthday gift was to let the old lady and the master know that she, the mistress, was thoughtful and a filial daughter-in-law. If the master and the old lady are happy, they can give her a few shops and farms to take care of, which will be another income.

These are beautiful things in front of her, but she has a limited budget and can't afford them at all.

Every time I come back, I can always give the old lady something new, which makes her very happy. Then he turns around and starts to pick on her. Sometimes he says that the food at home is poor, and sometimes he says that the servants are not strictly managed, and he always picks on her. prick.

  Obviously she is the mistress of the Xie family and is in charge of the middle income, but who knows her hardships. The income from the house is limited, and she has to support her parents' family every month, so her life is very tight.

 Hearing Ma Ruren’s question, Shopkeeper Su felt troubled.

Before Ma Ruren could speak, Ma Juan pouted and said, "Look, aunt, you are too soft-hearted and talkative, so people run away."

Ma Ruren looked at the jewelry in the tray, including hairpins and bracelets, which looked really good. Needless to say, the price must be very high.

Think about her, and then look at Xie Yu, the rebellious son. Every day is very nourishing. There are several in other courtyards alone, and they can't stay at home ten days a month.

Shopkeeper Su watched her frowning and staring at the accessories on the tray without urging her. He waited quietly aside, not forgetting to give the waiter a wink and ask him to serve him a cup of tea.

On the bottom floor of my aunt's makeup box, there is a set of exquisite gold hairpins, especially the gold hairpin with two rubies inlaid on it, which looks extremely noble. It's a pity that my aunt only occasionally takes it out to look at it and tries it on her bun, but never wears it when going out.

“Shopkeeper Su, please bring out a few more styles of red sandalwood hairpins, and I’ll choose others.”

 In front of the shopkeeper, if she expresses the idea of ​​asking for Bai's hairpin, the news will spread throughout the county within half an hour. He said that she was a dignified county magistrate's wife and bullied country women.

 One hundred and eighty. One hundred and eighty. One hundred and seventy-four. One seven

He wanted to go back to his thoughts, but he still walked forward with the smiling face and led the person to sit down in the chair, "I don't know something. There are not many good-quality rosewood trees. Coupled with the carving skills of the dealers, they are usually made of red sandalwood." Solitary item.”

Thinking of this, Ma Ruren's hand on the veil tightened. Bai's cunning shrew not only had sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, but also dug pits for her everywhere.

"Here... Ruren, please come with me. I will bring you all the new styles recently. Based on Ruren's preference for old ladies, I can choose one that I am satisfied with."

  "Please calm down, my head hurts from the commotion."

  Seeing her niece stop, Ma Rucai turned to look at Shopkeeper Su. Her words were still gentle and polite, and she didn't look angry at all.

Ma Juan stamped her feet anxiously, "If the gift you finally selected is gone, what will auntie do on the old lady's birthday?"

With that said, he turned around and went to the counter, took out a tray covered with red velvet, carefully put all the new jewelry on it, and brought it to Ma Ruren. "These three models are newly arrived Hetian jade, which nourishes people and nourishes the heart. These two models are gold ornaments, and the hollow filigree craftsmanship is also made by everyone. There are also these old silver hairpins, both in terms of age and craftsmanship. , all suitable for the elderly…”

As the matron of the house, the birthday gift she gives cannot be too light to avoid being laughed at. Because of this, she was hesitant. Until now, she finally gritted her teeth and took out some money from her body to supplement it. Unfortunately, she missed a step and was bought in advance.

If the master finds out, not only will he not pity her, he will also say that she does not know how to take care of the middle class and is incompetent as a housekeeper.

Hearing her niece's tone, Ma Ruren glanced at her, a cold look flashed in her eyes, which made Ma Juan tremble violently, lowered her head, and did not dare to speak.

Ma Ruren glared at her. This niece was very short-sighted and could not change her petty attitude no matter how hard she taught her.

After a while, Ma Rucai sighed quietly, "Bracelets, gold hairpins and other accessories are too common. The old lady has no shortage of them, and she can give them as gifts, but compared with other birthday gifts, they have no outstanding features."

It's a pity that her aunt can't give her such gorgeous jewelry. Not only her, but even her cousins ​​don’t have many exquisite headdresses.

 She wants to give something unique, but not too expensive. Now that she has limited money, she can't spend too much money from her father's family. Plus the old lady's birthday banquet, she has already overspent this month.

Every time she complained to the old man and the old lady, they would either pretend to be deaf or dumb, or they would talk about him, but would not speak for her.

"I know what Shopkeeper Su said, but when the old lady in my family celebrates her birthday, I always want to carefully select a birthday gift that will satisfy her. After much thought, I decided that the kind of old red sandalwood is suitable for the elderly. If it is not available, I Don’t force it, I wonder if Shopkeeper Su has any other accessories suitable for birthday gifts?”

 In the final analysis, it was still partiality. Her son was equally outstanding and would please the old lady, but his private property was limited and without Xie Yu, a rebellious son who could cause trouble, he would always lag behind.

If her mother-in-law hadn't come to ask for some money a while ago, she wouldn't have been so tight that she couldn't even afford a decent birthday gift.
