Chapter 176: Strange
"Hey, Uncle Han, Auntie, this is when Shiro comes back from a holiday gift. It looks like he has a lot of things. It will be different when he becomes an official. You can also enjoy the blessings and live a good life."
"Yes, who in Hecun is as lucky as Uncle Han and Aunt Han. Silang is the first official in our village. He is a role model for the people in our village."
Now that the Han family is prosperous, there are more people who flatter them. Although they secretly have their own little thoughts, not all of them are sincere, but on the surface no one wants to offend the Han family again, even if some people murmur that Han Yu is entrusting the Yue family to Fortunately, I am where I am today thanks to my wife, but I won’t shout out loud like before, I will only talk about it in private. If the people don't fight with the officials, they can't afford to offend the officials. Otherwise, they will be arrested and sent to the government like the previous ones, and they don't know how long they will be released.
Being so flattered by everyone, not to mention Old Man Han and Mrs. Yang, even Dafang's family was proud of themselves. Mrs. Liu entertained everyone for tea in a rare and generous manner, and even took out a bag of melon seeds.
"They're all from our neighbors. You're welcome. We don't have anything to entertain at home. You can do whatever you want."
Yang looked at the eldest daughter-in-law. For the first time, she felt that the eldest daughter-in-law could be on the stage. This time she really didn't embarrass her.
Mrs. Liu's consciousness is indeed high this time. Han Yu has become an official. As the sister-in-law, she can be regarded as a half-official wife. Naturally, she can't be too stingy and make people laugh. What's more, she saw Xiao Xi bringing in a servant just now. There were bags and bags of things and a few exquisite boxes, and I didn’t know what valuable things they contained, so I couldn’t bear this small favor.
"Auntie, I see that Shiro has brought back a lot of holiday gifts this time. This is the first time we have seen officials giving gifts. Please take a look at what Shiro has given back. It will also give us a lot of experience." Everyone also saw it. The servants sent by Han Yu brought in a bag of things and were all curious about what was inside.
Someone proposed this idea, and everyone followed suit, asking them to see what they had learned. Old Man Han and Mr. Yang refused twice, but it was not too much, so they reluctantly agreed. At this time, Han Quan and Han Lin The whole family also came over to the big house.
"Since this is what the folks mean, and there's nothing shameful about our family, let's open it and take a look."
Xi'er listened at the side and immediately responded, "My wife has put so much thought into sending so many things. She is happy to let everyone know how good her wife is and how filial her wife respects the elderly."
Xi'er first opened the package and took out the clothes made by Shuxiang. Because Han Yu was an official, Su Wenyue thought that her father-in-law and mother-in-law should also have decent clothes, so these sets of clothes were all made of silk. Shuxiang's craftsmanship is also good, and she also uses silver thread on the collar, making these sets of clothes look even more luxurious.
As soon as the clothes were taken out, not to mention the village neighbors who were watching, even Old Man Han and Mr. Yang were blinded by it: "This, this is too expensive. It is really a waste to use such good materials to make clothes for us two old people. Some more!”
"Uncle Han, Aunt Han, these clothes are really pretty. Please put them on and see if they fit you?"
"Try it? Then give it a try!" Old Man Han and Mr. Yang had never worn such beautiful clothes in their lives, and they were a little worried about being coaxed together like this.
Old Man Han and Mr. Yang were surrounded by a few familiar neighbors. They went back to the room and changed their clothes. It took them a long time to come out. They saw that their hair had been combed again, and Mr. Yang had an extra hair on his head. The old silver hairpin makes people look more energetic.
The old couple came out wearing such nice clothes. They felt a little uncomfortable all over. They were afraid that they would accidentally get the clothes dirty and wrinkled. They also looked a little awkward when walking. However, the clothes fit really well, as if they were tailor-made. , the size is half an inch and half an inch, and everyone can only praise it when they see it.
"It's because the fourth daughter-in-law is filial. When she married into the Han family, I always have new clothes. I don't know how many lifetimes of blessings I have accumulated to get such a good daughter-in-law." Mrs. Yang praised Su Wenyue generously in front of everyone. , even if she is partial to her son, she knows that such clothes must be made according to her daughter-in-law's wishes. Only the fourth daughter-in-law would remember the measurements of the old couple so carefully and make the clothes so fitting. This is better than giving gold and silver. Can't change it yet.
"No, Silang's wife is really filial. I heard that she got pregnant within half a year. She has a good horoscope and must be a prosperous husband. She can bring blessings to the old Han family. Now look at the old Han family's life is getting better and better. ”
After hearing this, Mrs. Yang felt even more comfortable. She thought to herself, that's not what happened. The fourth daughter-in-law was born with a good destiny. She was reborn into a wealthy family like the Su family, and now she has also brought many blessings to her husband's family. She was so lucky. She had never thought that her son could become an official. Everything was thanks to her fourth wife.
"Hey, Uncle Han, Aunt Han, how do you see the patterns on your clothes sparkling under the light?" A villager pointed at the clothes on Old Man Han and Mrs. Yang and said in surprise.
"It's true, this is really strange!" The few people in the village were surprised when they saw such a situation.
Xiao Xi waited until they had studied enough, and then said openly: "This is nothing strange. When the embroiderer embroidered the collar of the clothes, she used silver thread. The silver thread was not shiny and beautiful under the sun. "Tight."
"So it's silver thread, which is very expensive. It's made of silver. No wonder it's so beautiful and shiny. Tsk, Silang's wife is really generous to you, the parents-in-law." Everyone didn't think it was because of Han Yu. They all praised Su Wenyue. After all, Han Yu had not been an official for a long time. Even if he had the ability, he couldn't make money so quickly. Everyone knew that Silang's wife had a rich dowry, but she had to be willing to spend silver thread to embroider clothes for her parents-in-law. Who wouldn't envy such a filial daughter-in-law?
After looking at the clothes, everyone looked at the boxes of mooncakes for a while. They all admired the ingenuity of the rich. They could make so many patterns of mooncakes. I don't know how much silver money it cost for this box alone. This time Xiaoxi didn't explain. Everyone thought that the mooncakes were bought from the most famous pastry shop in the city. Who would be willing to eat such beautiful and exquisite mooncakes?
Yang and Liu were afraid that people would break such a delicate mooncake box, so they simply protected it and only let people look at it but not touch it. They were also very careful when they handled it. Everyone understood their behavior and believed that such a precious thing should be handled with care. They would not feel bad if it was broken. Han Jincai and Han Hu were more generous. Seeing the two women being so careful, they felt a little embarrassed and said a few words.
