Chapter 227 My husband is a dragon and a phoenix among men

A fight of words is a fight of words, if you can't fight it, you're going to quit, not to mention it's from your cousin's sister-in-law, even Zhou Shi thinks it's inappropriate, she stared at her sharply, and warned: "A-Jiao, if you talk nonsense again, I will ask your father to break your bones!"

"Mother~~!" Wei Jiao coquettishly aggrieved, not thinking that she was wrong at all.

The aunt sneered, her livid face just now became much more rosy, she said: "Don't you think it's a bit late for the third sister-in-law to educate Miss Jiao now? We don't have many children in the Wei family, and the three brothers only have two direct daughters, Wei Le and Wei Jiao. Look at Miss Le."

The aunt's eyes turned to a little girl in pink sitting quietly beside Mrs. Liu, and she said slowly: "Ms. Le didn't say anything more after seeing the ceremony. The elders chatted and never interrupted. If Ms. Jiao was half as quiet and dignified as Ms. Le, she wouldn't be so angry with the third sister-in-law."

Lin Xingwei looked at Wei Le and nodded slightly. The two of them had met at Shu Ning's sister-in-law's birthday party before.

Wei Le smiled lightly and lowered his head, obediently, but he didn't have any sense of presence.

Mrs. Zhou raised her eyebrows, and said coldly: "It's not because of you, sister-in-law. I only said a few words, but you just choked up, sister-in-law. My daughter just wants to defend me."

Lin Xingwei quietly rolled his eyes, and immediately retorted: "Is it my aunt who picked the head first? Isn't the third aunt the first one? My aunt is talking about the marriage between me and my husband, so why does the third aunt involve the eldest brother Qiuxian Wendao?"

"As the saying goes, people have their own ambitions. The eldest brother wants to be a Taoist, but he didn't become a monk, but still stayed at home to serve his parents. Why did the third aunt make fun of my husband with the matter of the elder brother?"

He said again: "As the only daughter of my family, my marriage is naturally one in a million. The county concubine my mother chose for me is naturally a dragon and phoenix among the people. How could you just make fun of it!"

Lin Xingwei's righteous and stern words left everyone in the hall speechless, Zhou Shi and Wei Jiao were even more dumbfounded.

Mrs. Fang was sitting in a high position, seeing Lin Xingwei being able to speak like this, she couldn't help but pursed her lips and snickered.

Lin Xingwei was a little thankful that the rest of the Wei family didn't know that Wei Mingji forced her to marry her, otherwise she really wouldn't be able to be so confident.To be honest, I still feel a little guilty.

In the strangely quiet hall, a friendly smile finally came: "Today we are here to see the new daughter-in-law. Why should my sister-in-law and third sister-in-law argue about such useless things?"

Mrs. Liu looked at Lin Xingwei again: "My family's foundation is poor, and I can't produce any good things. The only thing I have is a tiger skin, which was hunted by your brother Mingchen when he was traveling last year. Please ask your nephew and daughter-in-law to make a tiger skin cloak to keep you warm in winter."

The servant girl brought the tiger skin to Lin Xingwei's eyes. The tiger skin looked shiny, and it looked like a high-quality item.

Lin Xingwei raised both hands and took it respectfully, "Thank you, Auntie and Brother Mingchen."

Uncle Wei Jinhou has a disability, and the whole family relies on Wei Jinde for support, so the two families are relatively close.

Lin Xingwei was overjoyed, pulled a jade bracelet from her wrist, and handed it to the aunt's maid, saying: "This bracelet is my favorite, and I will give it back to my aunt."

The eldest aunt smiled politely: "The nephew's daughter-in-law's things are too expensive, I really can't bear it, besides, I am an old woman, I don't deserve such beautiful things, if my niece and daughter-in-law don't care, please allow the old woman to pass this jade bracelet to the old woman's daughter-in-law."

Lin Xingwei said: "If you give it to Auntie, then it belongs to Auntie, and Auntie can give it to whoever she wants."

Mrs. Liu was polite again, and handed over the jade bracelet to a plain-clothed woman beside her, Wei Mingchen's daughter-in-law.

Wei Jiao smiled hoarsely, and muttered in a low voice: "A piece of broken leather is exchanged for such a fine jade bracelet, my aunt really knows how to do business. It's such a hot day, giving a piece of tiger skin as a jacket, hehehe..."

Lin Xingwei glared at her, but said nothing.

The remaining three aunts, six mothers-in-law, sisters-in-law and sisters also gave Lin Xingwei a lot of things, but after a while, Lin Xingwei also gave away all the jewelry that Lin Xingwei was wearing today, and a pair of earrings were also distributed to the two families.

Afterwards, Yunzhu complained: "On the surface, these people said they came to see the new wife, but they actually came to play the autumn wind. Except for the tiger skin, which is more eye-catching, the rest are some junk!"

After dealing with it all day today, Lin Xingwei was already paralyzed from exhaustion.

"Except for that tiger skin, I don't need the rest. You pick the ones you choose and give them away. Just don't waste them." Lin Xingwei lay flat on the bed with his legs crossed, gnawing a fruit in his hand.

"Except for more than half of the betrothal gifts from the Wei Mansion, the girl has only this dowry in total. The girl should not be so generous. If the slaves didn't stop her today, she might even take off her clothes and give them away."

"It's fine for others, Mrs. Zhou and Miss Jiao are so mean, and the princess even gave them a pendant."

Yunzhu looked at the rags on the table and worried, there were snacks, tea sets, calligraphy and paintings... Anyway, they were all inconspicuous things.

Lin Xingwei took a bite of the fruit, and said slowly, "I didn't give the pendant to the two of them, but to Zhao Yan. She is the most innocent today. Don't complain, it's the first time we meet today, so we have to exchange some gifts with each other, and it won't happen in the future."

Yun Zhu said softly, "In the future, if a girl wants to give someone a gift, she can do it quietly. Today you gave the long house lady a jade bracelet in public, and the rest will line up to ask for it."

"Well, you're right, I can't be too generous." Lin Xing said leisurely, shaking his feet slightly.

In the first month of their wedding, Lin Xingwei's life was busier than expected.

In addition to all kinds of relatives who wanted to meet, there were also various aristocratic families in Qingzhou Beihai County who came to visit. Even Qingzhou Mu's daughter-in-law invited Lin Xingwei to have tea. Lin Xingwei was overwhelmed with all kinds of entertainment.

The threshold of the Wei Mansion has been changed three times. Wei Jinde, the father of Wei, thought the first threshold was too high, so he changed it to a slightly shorter one, but it still made the daughter of the prefect of Beihai County stagger.

Father Wei Jinde simply replaced the threshold with a more flexible one, which can be removed during the day and installed when it is locked at night, so as not to be afraid of stumbling the nobles.

After a long time, Lin Xingwei got tired of these scenes and was very tired physically.

She knew that she didn't have good virtues to make these nobles flock to her. Some daughters from aristocratic families came and finished their speeches, and they wanted Lin Xingwei to ask Wei Mingji to transfer their father and brother to the capital.

Lin Xingwei couldn't help slandering: If Wei Mingji really listened to me, I wouldn't marry her.

After politely refusing, she also gained a reputation of being "big airs".

In the end, he simply closed the door to thank the guests, and turned away those noble ladies with bad intentions under the pretext of feeling uncomfortable.

Later, Lin Xingwei began to help his father count the accounts and goods, inspect the property of the shop, and sometimes follow his father to collect debts. He was so busy every day, and he had to do the abacus in the middle of the night when he came back at night. Lin Xingwei felt that the Wei family probably wanted her to inherit the mantle.

Lin Xingwei received letters from the capital today, from his mother, from A Cen, from his brothers, and from cousin Su Ji.

She read them one by one, tears streaming down her face.

The mother didn't blame her, the letter was full of understanding, and said that her daughter had grown up and knew how to protect her brothers.

A Cen talked about how naughty and cute the little nephews in the family were, and mentioned her brother Yao, who asked her to say hello to Lin Xingwei.

The two cousins ​​are still the same, the letter is full of gags, and there is nothing formal.

Wen Lin is the best, there is a key in the letter, asking Lin Xingwei to go to Wen Mansion to watch the house for her when she is free.

Lin Xingwei knew that her elder brother wanted her to have another place to live besides the Wei Mansion...
