Chapter 272 Molan Zang Zhuo
After the Xue brothers first saluted Mrs. Hou and the second lady, they said a few polite words and then left first. Next is the family gift. They are not suitable.
After the Xue brothers left, the royal palace came to see the ceremony one by one, and the Wang family gave the meeting ceremony separately.
With the introduction of people, Mo Lan secretly recorded the characters in Hou's mansion in her heart.
The old marquis has a total of five sons. In fact, three of them are direct relatives and two concubines. One of them died when he met a strong man that year.
The son of the world is the eldest son, whose name is Wang Cheng. If he marries his wife Huang, he is the concubine of the world.
Second master Wang Jiang. The one who died.
The third master is the prince, the second master's legitimate son. Wife's third grandmother, Niu.
The fourth master Wang Xiang, the legitimate son of the marquis. The fourth wife, the Jiang family.
The fifth master Wang Jun, the second son of the second master. Wife and fifth grandmother Xu.
The sixth master Wang Zhi, the legitimate son of the marquis. Wife's sixth grandmother, Wu Shi.
The seventh master Wang Zhen, the marquis and the son of a concubine. His wife's seventh grandmother, Zhao.
The eighth master Wang Shi, the second old man's son, his wife and eighth grandmother Ma.
Molan had a headache when she heard this. The two brothers had only eight sons, not married daughters. It's not a concubine married by my son. There are a lot of grandchildren below. How can this family live? If she were to live in such a family, she would have to hit her head to death.
Molan's uncles finished the ceremony. Then he talked about the young master of the grandson on the side of the Hou family.
Wang Mingda is the eldest grandson, known as the eldest brother, and he has not married yet. There is a concubine. However, Molan didn't see it. He couldn't show up in the concubine's room on such an occasion.
The second brother, Wang Mingyi. The grandson of the second master. Marrying a wife, Mr. Pei.
The third brother Wang Mingzhong (Marquis's grandson).
The fourth brother, Wang Mingyou (the second grandson of the second master).
The fifth brother Wang Mingliang (Marquis's grandson).
The sixth brother Wang Mingfang (the second grandfather and grandson). The sky is broken.
The seventh brother Wang Mingxue (the second master and concubine's grandson).
Eighth brother Wang Minglei (second master and concubine's grandson).
Nine brother Wang Mingzheng. ( The second grandfather and grandson)
Among them, except for the second brother's son's wife, there is no marriage, and some of them have girls and concubines. Molan is even more speechless. No wonder the house is so big, there are so many people, and she can't live there even if it's not big. With so many people, how much do they have to consume just eating in a day?
After all the worship. It's the sister in the house. Molan looked at the group of charming girls, and the corners of their mouths twitched. No wonder they all said that the sisters in the house fought fiercely and made such a group of sisters. I'm afraid it really won't work if you don't argue.
The eldest sister, the second sister and the third sister are all married. First of all, the fourth sister, Wang Yanyue (16 years old), who saw the ceremony, had a match and got married in October. Because Xu's family is a member of the third grade, the fourth sister is arrogant.
The fifth sister Wang Yanyu (15 years old), maybe someone else. My husband is a scholar. He is a scholar.
The sixth sister Wang Yanyu (15 years old) may be worthy of others, and her husband's family is a second-grade member. The sixth sister and the fourth sister are both direct children. So I'm also a little arrogant.
The seventh sister, Wang Yanfeng (14 years old), is looking at each other. Not booked.
Eighth sister Wang Yanjin (twelve years old). Undetermed. The ninth sister Wang Yanping (11 years old).
Tenth sister Wang Yanran (seven years old). Except for the fourth sister and the sixth sister, the rest are all concubines. They were very happy to thank the gift given by the Wang family.
has seen the gift, and finally it's Molan's turn. Molan gritted her teeth secretly in her heart. She is a junior. There are many rules for big families, and she has to kowtow to her elders. She doesn't want to. Even if there is futon, her knee hurts.
Molan to the old marquis, the second master and his wife. After the son and his wife knelt down, she saluted the rest of the people. Some grandmothers dislike Molan's rudeness and want to say that this girl is rude. But when they thought that the other party was originally from the countryside, I'm afraid they didn't understand, so they put up with it.
After seeing them all, someone carried up the gift brought by Molan and others in the car. For pine nuts, pecans. People in the house disdain the mountain vegetables and so on. The imperial concubine even curled the corners of her mouth. My heart said: Sure enough, the countrymen have never seen the world. Even these can be taken as gifts in the marquis's house. What a shame.
The last one came in were two small cross-stitch screens. After entering the house, Molan looked at the screen of Hou's house. It's open. Compared with the one in the Hou family, it is really exquisite and small, but it is novel. It's not too shameful to think about it.
After Wang looked at the screen, she said, "The eldest sister-in-law, the second sister-in-law, the younger sister has been in the countryside, and there is no gift that can be used. These two single screens are embroidered by my sister's daughter-in-law and granddaughter. The two sisters-in-law are one by one, and I hope you don't dislike it.
Mrs. Hou and Mrs. Second did not measure the screen at first, and they didn't think it would be a good thing. Hearing what Wang said, they said politely and looked at the screen. No matter what they sent, they had to take a look.
The two of them looked at each other, and surprise flashed in their eyes. Although the screen is small, this embroidery method has never been seen before. The embroidered picture is also beautiful and elegant, which is very in line with the identity of Houfu.
Both of them nodded with satisfaction, and finally there was a gift that fit their wishes.
The imperial concubine's eyes flashed, and she said to herself: There are only two pictures, don't you have your own? I am the concubine of the world! Just give yourself a broken jade pendant. She doesn't have this jade pendant, but she really doesn't have such a screen. No, she also has to have a pair, otherwise how can she show her dignity in the house?
Thinking of this, the imperial concubine stepped forward, looked at the screen, and said, "Let me see what a rare thing is. Not to mention, this screen is really good. This embroidery method is the first time I have seen. There is no embroidery method like this in our house. I have never seen such a pattern. I really like it in people's hearts.
After the praise, she looked at Molan again and said with a smile, "Molan, right? I didn't expect you to have this skill. I'm your aunt. She has a daughter, that is, your cousin. She's about to leave the cabinet. I don't have a good screen here to do her dowry. Lanlan, why don't we go? Why don't you ask me to embroider a pair for your cousin? I don't think Lanlan will refuse. After all, Lanlan is going to live here, right? The imperial concubine set up a screen for Molan. The last sentence was a little threatening.
Molan had a smile on her face, but her heart was sudden. As soon as she met, she asked herself if she wanted this? What does the last sentence mean? If you don't embroider it, you won't let yourself have a good time in the house? Let yourself embroider her daughter's dowry, you are not an embroiderer. Secondly, it takes a long time to embroider such a screen. Only her own words will take a long time. She is not patient. Besides, it is impossible for her to sit in the house all day to embroider this when she comes to the capital. She has other things to do. Even if they embroider all day long, I'm afraid it's the time they leave, and she can't embroider it. Isn't it difficult for herself?
The old marquis looked at Molan and was speechless. He turned black and scolded, "Daughter Lan, they have just entered the house. You are embarrassed to be an aunt.! Yuer is a concubine's daughter. I usually don't see you so actively preparing a dowry for her. It's urgent.
The prince's concubine was blushing, and she blamed Molan for not immediately allowing her and let her be scolded. She couldn't have an attack with the old marquis, so she had to smile and said, "Father, isn't this also for the face of the Hou family? Although Yuer is a concubine's daughter, my mother is also very distressed. Besides, she is the daughter of a concubine in the marquis's mansion, and her status is also noble. It's not difficult for her to let Lan Lanxiu the dowry. It's a long glow on her face. Anyway, she has this skill. Isn't it a pity that you don't have to?"
A concubine's daughter? Not active on weekdays? I'm afraid the imperial concubine wants it herself? If the concubine's daughter is noble, she has to be flatted? Don't be a pity? I'm not rusty. Let's make it a pity.
Mo Lan was angry, but her face was not obvious. She winked at Wang and motioned her not to talk, because she saw the pain and guilt in her grandmother's eyes.
Molan smiled shyly at the imperial concubine and said with a blush, "Embarrass, I'm really sorry. Lanlan is stupid and can't embroider the screen. The embroidery on the screen was made by my aunt and my sister. Lan Lan doesn't understand the female red, but she wants to help but is powerless. If the aunt really wants it, wait for me to send someone back and ask my aunt to embroider. My sister is married and can't embroider anymore. I think I can almost embroider it for half a year. I don't know if my aunt can wait?"
"Half a year?" The imperial concubine was stunned. The girl didn't know how to have feelings. Then didn't she say in vain, "You won't be a girl? So what will you do? Are you proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?
"Uncle, Lanlan comes from the countryside, and the children in the countryside are used to crazy. Lanlan will go to the mountain to pick mountain vegetables, pick mushrooms and pick up towers. I can catch fish and climb trees. Other things, Lanlan won't. By the way, Lanlan can still eat it. I like to eat good food." Molan solemnly returned the words of the imperial concubine. After saying that, she seemed to be a little embarrassed and blushed.
The imperial concubine couldn't help but be dumbfounded. Even Mrs. Hou, the second lady and those grandmothers in the house were dumbfounded. The girl didn't know anything. Although he is long and energetic, he is a foodie, which is useless at all.
"In addition, the mountain vegetables we brought this time are all picked by Lanlan." Molan took another sentence with an air. The women in the Hou family were choked.
Old marquis, Wang Zhi, Wang Mingda and others couldn't help laughing secretly. This girl was clumsy and pretended to be stupid to deal with the world's concubine. Several people know that although Molan doesn't know much, it's not like what she said. At least she can embroider the screen, draw pictures, and read. Although her handwriting is snow plum huā, at least she can write. She is also good at cooking. Now when she says so, everyone thinks that she is useless and only knows how to eat. It's easy for her to work.
After listening to Molan's words, the imperial concubine sneered and said, "What's the use of what you can do?" Women can't be popular. At least they have to know some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. In the future, people can look up and find a good husband. You can't do anything. Your father and mother want to find a decent family for you to talk about it. Isn't it difficult for you?
After listening to the son's concubine's words, Mo Lan immediately blushed, bowed to the son's concubine, and whispered, "Then it's troublesome, aunt. Lan Lan doesn't understand this, and her requirements are not high. As long as the other party is almost the same as Ming
