Chapter 79 A group of people who have never seen the world
There was no sound in the large main hall, and it took a long time for everyone to come back to their senses. what happened? This imperial decree is not for the eldest lady, but for the second lady and Mrs. Zhao.
Not to mention the servants, even Bai Ruoyu and Zhao Shi had a confused expression on their faces.
On the other hand, the old lady had deep eyes and a meaningful expression on her face.
Seeing everyone's shocked expressions, Nuan Chun's lips curled slightly, "Master Le'an, Madam Xiande, accept the order."
The two came back to their senses, and immediately stepped forward to accept the imperial edict, "Thank you, Empress, for your grace."
Glancing at the respectful Bai Ruoyu, Nuan Chun's eyes flickered, she clapped her hands lightly, and immediately several father-in-laws brought in two red boxes.
Nuan Chun compared the boxes on the ground, "These are gifted by the Empress to Le'an County Lord and Mrs. Xiande."
The father-in-law standing next to the box immediately opened the box cooperatively.
Looking at the box full of gold, silver and jewels, Mrs. Zhao's eyes widened in surprise, both eyes were shining with golden light, and she wished she could just throw herself into the box, hug the gold, silver and jewels inside and kiss her hard. Twice.
Bai Ruoyu glanced at the gold, silver and jewels lightly, but didn't have any big reaction, just bowed to Nuan Chun, "Thank you, Ma'am."
The old lady, the second lady, and the third lady don't have any special expressions. It's just some ordinary gold, silver and jewelry, far less precious than the ones that the emperor usually gave to Bai Li'er, and even less than the dowry that was not Chu Xiangjun's.
On the other hand, Aunt Hua and Aunt Ruan stared straight at the two boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, and never left for a moment.
Seeing Bai Ruoyu's unfazed expression, Nuan Chun's eyes flickered, and he said with a light smile, "It's getting late, and this servant has to go back to the palace to restore the order, so I'll take my leave first."
Bai Ruoyu bowed slightly, "Aunt Nuanchun, go slowly."
The old lady glanced at Nanny Liao, and Nanny Liao immediately understood, stepped forward and stuffed the money bag into Nuan Chun's hand.
"It's a small thing, my aunt took it and bought some refreshments."
"Then thank you, old lady." Nuan Chun stuffed the purse into her arms, bowed slightly to the old lady, and then walked out with her father-in-law.
As soon as Nuan Chun left, Aunt Hua and Aunt Ruan immediately threw themselves on the two mahogany boxes.
"This chain is really beautiful." Aunt Hua grabbed a jade bead chain and put it around her neck.
"This bracelet is beautiful." Aunt Ruan picked up a red jade bracelet and put it on her hand, looking at it fondly.
Seeing Aunt Hua and Aunt Ruan staring at the gold, silver and jewels in the box like wolves, Mrs. Zhao became anxious, rushed over, pulled off the jade bead chain around Aunt Hua's neck, and slapped Aunt Ruan hard The ruby bracelet on his hand, "What looks good? What looks good? Are these yours? Just wear them on your hands? Put them around your neck?"
Ms. Zhao said angrily, and put both the emerald necklace and the red jade bracelet on her body, "This is a gift from the empress empress to my sixth-rank lady, understand? Six-rank virtuous lady."
Zhao raised her head proudly, puffed her chest out, and suddenly felt that the title of the sixth-rank virtuous lady was very domineering. Although she is not a first-class wife, she is also a wife now. Let's see if those lowly maidservants dare to call her Aunt Zhao.
Aunt Hua looked enviously at the emerald necklace on Mrs. Zhao's neck, "Yes, yes, Mrs. Liupin Xiande, we just took a look, and didn't say it's all ours."
Aunt Hua said flatteringly, and picked up a green jade hairpin in the box with bright eyes, and played with it fondly.
Aunt Ruan also waved her handkerchief and said angrily, "That's right, the empress dowager rewarded me with good things, my sister has to open the eyes of my younger sisters too."
Aunt Ruan couldn't wait to pick up a Qinghe porcelain nine-turn jade vase.
Hearing the compliments from Aunt Hua and Aunt Ruan, Mrs. Zhao suddenly felt superior to others, and raised her head proudly and said, "Okay, let's take a look, you are not allowed to take it."
"Understood, let's take a look if we don't take it." Aunt Hua and Aunt Ruan waved without raising their heads.
Third Madam looked at Aunt Hua, Aunt Ruan, and Mrs. Zhao's greedy faces, with a sneer of disdain on her lips. Sure enough, they are all things that have never been seen in the world, but they are just ordinary things, and they are worthy of being so obedient and put on airs by them.
Looking at the faces of Aunt Hua and Aunt Ruan with disgust, the second lady flicked her sleeves and left the main hall.
Seeing that the second lady had left, the third lady took Bai Ruxuan with her.
The old lady also helped Nanny Liao back to the East Mansion.
Bai Ruomeng and Bai Ruoshui also looked at the two boxes of gold, silver and jewelry with envy.
"Second sister, congratulations." Bai Ruoshui looked at Bai Ruoyu with a flattering expression.
Bai Ruoyu held her lips lightly, but did not speak.
Looking at Bai Ruoyu's noble face, a hint of jealousy flashed in Bai Ruomeng's eyes, "Yes, I heard that the county lord has a fourth grade. The second sister really looks good for our concubine daughter."
Hearing the word "concubine", Bai Ruoyu's face instantly turned ugly.
"Isn't it? The second sister is the most powerful among us." Not aware of Bai Ruoyu's strangeness, Bai Ruoshui said flatteringly.
Not interested in listening to the flattery of the two, Bai Ruoyu turned and left with a cold face.
Bai Ruoshui blinked blankly, "Fourth sister, what's wrong with second sister, why doesn't she seem happy?"
Bai Ruomeng looked at Bai Ruoyu's retreating back, curled her lips in disdain, "He's the county head now, so naturally he doesn't like us little concubines."
"What are you doing, what are you doing? I told you not to take it." Here Mrs. Zhao snatched Jin Buyao, which Aunt Hua hid in her arms, and the earrings from Aunt Ruan's hand.
Aunt Hua flushed and shook the handkerchief, "If you don't take it, don't take it, who cares."
"That's right, who cares about it? We have plenty of these things." Aunt Ruan also waved her handkerchief, speaking disdainfully.
After the two finished speaking, they twisted their waists and left together. Bai Ruomeng and Bai Ruoshui also left after seeing that there was no benefit to be gained.
As soon as she came out of the main hall, Aunt Hua poked Bai Ruomeng on the head with a look of disgust, "I said, you are also a concubine, look at Bai Ruoyu, not only did you fight for the title of the county lord, but also gave it to Zhao Shi also competed for a sixth-grade wife, and then look at you, besides playing tricks and being lazy, what else can you do."
"Then Mrs. Zhao can be a virtuous wife. Hey, I only blame my daughter for being unworthy." Aunt Ruan also waved a handkerchief to help her temples, her charming eyes were full of jealousy.
"That's right, you say Mrs. Zhao is worthy of being a virtuous lady..." Aunt Hua and Aunt Ruan condemned Mrs. Zhao jealously.
Bai Ruomeng looked at the backs of the two of them going away, and dragged Bai Ruoshui to the main courtyard.
Bai Ruoshui blinked suspiciously, "Fourth Sister, where are we going?"
"Go to fool Bai's yard." Bai Ruomeng said without looking back.
