Being scolded as a poor widow, I relied on supernatural powers to counterattack in ancient times

Chapter 734 is mad at her
Ma Ruren calmed down, and looked at his niece irritably,
"She has already paid for it, so can my aunt take it from her?"

Ma Juan snorted unconvinced,
"My aunt is so easy to talk to. A country woman wants to curry favor with my aunt. It's such a beautiful idea. She can't even give her a hairpin. There must be something wrong with her mind."

Hearing Ma Juan's tone, the shopkeeper next to him couldn't help shaking his face.

Just now he heard from beginning to end, flattery and sarcasm are almost the same, I really don't know how this girl heard it?If it wasn't for the person in front of him who couldn't be offended, I really wanted to applaud Mrs. Bai just now.

He laughed lightly and even sarcastically and mockingly set him up, but if you are a little bit greedy, you are not as good as those ignorant women in the countryside.

What Mrs. Bai said just now is very clear, even if the country people are rough and ignorant, they will not snatch other people's things, not to mention that you are a high-ranking lady of the county magistrate, a family member of the official family, if you can't even compare with a country peasant woman, then It's a joke.

"Auntie, what do you think, hurry up, if you hesitate, they will run away."

Ma Juan stomped her feet anxiously, "If the gift you finally selected is gone, it's the old lady's birthday, what will Auntie plan to do?"

"Calm down, my forehead hurts from being so noisy."

Ma Ruren glared at her. This niece has very shallow eyelids, and no amount of teaching can change her pettiness.

In front of the shopkeeper, if she expresses the idea of ​​asking for Bai's hairpin, it will spread throughout the county within half an hour.It is said that she is a dignified wife of the county magistrate and bullies the women in the country.

Thinking of this, Ma Ruren tightened her grip on the handkerchief. That tricky shrew of Bai's not only has sharp teeth, but also digs holes for her everywhere.

"Shopkeeper Su, bring out a few more styles of red sandalwood hairpins, and I'll pick out others."

Hearing the tone of the county magistrate's wife, shopkeeper Su curled his lips shamelessly. The craftsmanship of carving everyone is not a street stall, as much as you want.

I wanted to return to my thoughts, but I still walked forward with a smile on my face, leading me to sit down in a chair, "I don't know, there are not many such high-quality red sandalwood, and the carving skills of Zhuang masters are generally Orphan."

Before Ma Ruren could speak, Ma Juan pouted, "Look, aunt, you are just too soft-hearted and easy to talk, so let people run away."

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

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

"I also know what shopkeeper Su said, but the old lady at home is celebrating her birthday, and I always want to choose a birthday gift for her. After thinking about it, the old red sandalwood is suitable for the elderly. If it is gone, I will I don't force it, I wonder if Shopkeeper Su has any other accessories that are suitable for birthday gifts?"

Hearing Ma Ruren's question, shopkeeper Su felt troubled,

"Here... Ruren, please come with me. I will bring you all the new styles that have been released recently. Based on Ruren's preferences for the old lady, I will choose a satisfactory one."

With that said, he turned around and went to the counter, took out a tray covered with red flannelette, carefully placed all the new accessories on it, and brought it in front of Ma Ruren.

"These three are new Hetian jade, jade nourishes the heart. These two are gold ornaments, hollowed out and filigree, and they are also masterpieces. There are also these old silver hairpins, no matter the year or the craftsmanship. , are suitable for the elderly..."

Ma Ruren looked at the accessories on the tray, including hairpins and bracelets, they looked really good.Needless to say, the price must be high.

She wanted to give something chic, but not overpriced.Now she has limited money in her hands, and she can't spend too much money at work, plus the old lady's birthday banquet, this month has already exceeded the budget.

As the mistress of the house, her birthday gift should not be too light, lest she be laughed at.It was because of this that 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 out in advance.

These are beautiful, but she has a limited budget and can't afford them at all.

Shopkeeper Su watched her frowned and stared at the accessories on the tray without urging her, and quietly waited aside, not forgetting to wink at Xiaoer and ask him to serve a cup of tea.

Standing by the side, Ma Juan looked at the ornaments on the tray, her eyes flashed with envy, if she had one of such exquisite ornaments, she would definitely use it as a dowry at the bottom of the box.

Unfortunately, it was impossible for my aunt to give her such a gorgeous accessory.Not only her, but even her cousins ​​don't have a few delicate clothes.

On the other hand, at the bottom of the aunt's dressing box, there is a set of exquisite gold hairstyles, especially the golden hairpin, which is inlaid with two rubies, which looks extremely luxurious.It's a pity that my aunt only took it out occasionally to have a look, and tried it on her hair, and never went out wearing it.

After a while, Ma Ru let out a faint sigh, "Bracelets, gold hairpins and other accessories are too common. There are no shortages for old ladies, and they can be given as gifts, but compared with other birthday gifts, there are no outstanding features."

The purpose of her birthday gift is to let the old lady and the master know that she is a filial daughter-in-law who has put her heart into this mistress.In case the master and the old lady are happy, they will give her a few shops and farms to take care of, which is another profit.

Obviously it is the mistress of the Xie family, who is in charge of Zhongfu, but who knows her suffering, the income of the mansion is limited, and she has to supplement her mother's family every month, and her life is very tight.

Sometimes she couldn't help but smile wryly. In the entire Song Kingdom, there was no more miserable headed mistress than her.She lived a life of tearing down the east wall to make up for the west every day, and the income of the public was profit and loss every month. If it continued like this, she would have to use her own little self to make up for it.

If the master finds out, not only will he not pity her, but he will also say that she can't take care of Zhongfu and the housekeeper is incompetent.

Think about her, and then look at that rebellious son Xie Yu, who lives a very nourishing life. There are several in other courtyards alone, and they can't stay at home for ten days a month.

Every time I come back, I can always give the old lady something new, which makes the old lady happy, and then picks and chooses her when she turns around, saying that the food at home is poor, and the servants are not strictly managed, picking her everywhere prick.

Every time she complained to the master and the old lady, they either pretended to be deaf and dumb, or talked about him left and right, but they just refused to speak for her.

In the final analysis, she is still partial, her son is also outstanding, and will please the old lady, but his private property is limited, and there is no such thing as Xie Yu, a rebellious son, who will always be behind.

A while ago, if her natal brother hadn't come to ask for some money, she wouldn't be so tight that she couldn't even afford a decent birthday gift.
