Chapter 39
Shen ordered the maids to line up all the clothing and jewelry they brought, and compared them back and forth by picking from left to right.

Suddenly he brought a jacket and skirt made of stone green snow satin, but felt that the color was a bit more elegant, another gauze skirt with gold engraving and embroidered white butterflies and flowers was more suitable, but it was a bit of a headache to match it with jewelry.

"Han'er, do you think this one is good?"

Bai Sihan who was asked was leaning on the soft pillow of the bed at the moment.

Not to mention being woken up by her mother early in the morning, she didn't even have time to wash up.

Her face is like peach blossoms, her skin is as beautiful as snow, she is a top-notch beauty, but it is a pity that those charming fox eyes are listless at the moment, and she is very sleepy.

She gathered the lamb blanket around her body, frowned slightly, and said slightly annoyed to Shen who was wearing gold belt and silver beside her.

"Mother, it's too anxious to choose these early in the morning. Anyway, there are two days left for the Wei family's banquet, so we can choose in the afternoon. The weather in Dongdu is too cold, and my daughter didn't sleep well last night. We in Qiongzhou are more comfortable, and there are still green trees outside at this time of year, look at the dry branches, you can’t even see them.”

"Look at what you said. You only see the bleakness outside, but you don't know the hustle and bustle inside. If you don't make preparations early, it will be amazing to be compared with others. Just watch, wait until you go there When you come back from the meeting, your mother will keep your mind active, and I'm afraid that if you go back to Qiongzhou again, you won't even want to."

At Mrs. Bai's birthday banquet, although there were some young masters and young ladies, most of them came with the elders in the family, so they were very restrained.

Nowadays, most of the ladies and young masters are invited to the Wei family's banquet. The young people are lively and lively together, so naturally they have to dress more attentively.

Bai Sihan heard these words too much, and she became impatient in her heart.

However, the other party is my mother, so I can't say much.

"Mother, if you compare everything with me, wouldn't it be a disadvantage for your daughter?"

"Hahahaha, yes, yes, yes, my daughter is so beautiful, even if she enters the palace and becomes a noble concubine."

Bai Sihan rolled her winking eyes, and was too lazy to say any more.

On the other hand, Shen who was next to him couldn't help frowning when he saw the things in the jewelry box.

"Nothing good can be made in Qiongzhou. This jewelry is incomparable to what the ladies in the eastern capital are used to wearing."

Picking up a Ruyi gold hairpin in disgust, it was a good thing to look at before, but now that I have seen a lot of emerald tourmalines, looking at these is a bit vulgar.

Thinking back to Miss Wei's luxurious demeanor, even if she couldn't compare to her, she couldn't be much inferior, otherwise, how could the limelight still fall on her own daughter.

Just as he was thinking about what to do, he heard that Mama Qian, who was next to Princess Wenyi, had come.

Both mother and daughter saw suspicion in each other's eyes, and after tidying up their appearance a little, they asked Mama Qian to come in.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw clothes and jewelry piled up on the roof. Mother Qian did not show any sarcasm, but kept the rules and greeted the two of them without squinting.

"To the third lady, please greet the second lady."

"Well, get up, mom is here, but what is the princess' order?"

Wen Yi's identity could be ignored in front of the rest of the Bai family, but Shen Shi didn't dare to trust her, so she still called her Princess Princess.

"Our princess said that the second lady has not given gifts to the elders since she entered the mansion. It's not because of negligence, but because the old shopkeeper of Zhenbaozhai had something to do at home a few days ago, so it was delayed. Now the jewelry headdress that has been prepared has just been opened as soon as the door opens. Send it over, so the princess asked the old slave to send it over quickly, and the second lady likes it after seeing it."

As soon as he finished speaking, he motioned to the girls behind him to come forward and opened four palm-sized jewelry boxes.

For a moment, everyone in the room gasped.

There is a red gold necklace, a white jade hairpin inlaid with red coral, a sapphire blue bat flower hairpin dotted with emerald green, and a begonia-shaped tourmaline jade hairpin.

Everything is exquisitely carved and valuable, Shen's eyeballs are about to fall out.

"These are all for Han'er?" He stumbled a little while speaking.

Mother Qian saluted slightly, and said respectfully, "Exactly, I hope the third lady and the second lady don't dislike it."

"No, no, Dongqing will accept it for the miss. Thank you for your love, I said, in this family, the princess is the best, with a bodhisattva heart, and her status is there. Hmph, big house The one who loves you is not as good as the princess!"

What he said was beyond words, and he disliked the behavior of the eldest aunt Lin's behavior, so he almost said bluntly that she worshiped the high and trampled the low, and picked the good ones.

Mother Qian was disdainful in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face.

She hated this kind of people the most in her life, like a fly chasing after a stinky smell, she would pounce on Li when she saw Li, and she would lose face.

The sister-in-law who talked nonsense about the big house was sowing discord again, she couldn't bear to hear these words, so she suppressed the discomfort in her heart and said.

"Since the things have been delivered, the old slave will go back first, and the princess can't leave anyone around."

"Okay, Mama Qian can leave now. We won't stay any longer."

Shen's smile at the moment was all from the bottom of her heart, she did whatever she wanted, and the things sent by the Princess Princess really saved their lives, so she treated Mama Qian with a more sincere expression.

After the person left, Shen's eyes showed greedy eyes, "Han'er, have you seen it? The Princess Princess likes you so much, it seems that there is a chance to marry into Kang Wang's mansion, and Kang Wang's mansion will definitely come to this banquet. People, you just pick the one you like."

What he said was so confident that the children and grandchildren of Prince Kang's Mansion became the cabbage in the street market, allowing their mother and daughter to pick and choose.

What a shame!

"Mother..." Bai Sihan called out coquettishly, her face was a little rosy, and she seemed a little shy.

On the contrary, seeing her like this, Shen felt even more proud.

In the east courtyard, Bai Siruo was holding his breath and concentrating on practicing throwing pots. When he saw Mama Qian came back, he immediately put down the cluster of arrows in his hand and asked excitedly.

"Did they accept the things?"

"Accept it, the third lady couldn't close her mouth from laughing."

Bai Siruo raised her eyebrows, she knew that with their mother and daughter's pushy appearance, it would be no wonder that the jewelry was broken if they were unhappy when they received it. and sent it over.

Thinking of this in my heart, my face was full of joy and joy.

On the contrary, Qian's mother next to her was a little puzzled, "Miss, you have always disliked Miss Er, why did you give her so many good jewelry this time?"

"Didn't mother say that the Bai family is prosperous and all are prosperous, and all are damaged. If you want to attend the Wei family's banquet, you don't have anything to say about your face, and you will lose face to the Bai family, right?"

Mother Qian nodded, she said so, but she didn't believe it.
