The lady escaped marriage and became addicted

Chapter 46
"Oh, listen, the second young master is really smart!"

"That's right! That kid in my family can't think of such a way."

"You have to be bold, careful, and sharp-eyed, otherwise you won't be able to catch it. The second young master will definitely be promising when he grows up!"

"Hehe, you child is just so naughty. By the way, how did you come up with the idea of ​​catching birds like this?" Wen heard from all the wives and grandmas that his son was smart. Although he knew that everyone was just flattering him, he felt happy in his heart. .Not to mention anything else, at least this child is smart and filial, but it is real.

"Sister Zhao told me the way. Younger sister Zhao is so smart! She can read! She..." Qian Ning carried An Ran out as soon as she was happy.

An Ran hurriedly stood up and said in a crisp voice, "Ma'am, children in our country catch birds like this."

Mrs. Wen nodded, followed her son's words and praised An Ran: "This child is smart at first glance and looks good. Mrs. Zhao is really lucky."

Gu Wanniang took An Ran to thank Mrs. Wen for her praise, but she looked at her daughter with pride and joy.

At this time, Qian Ning suddenly shouted again: "Mother, Brother Qi said that Mrs. Gu gave you a screen embroidered with peony flowers, and there are two golden pheasants on it. Mother, have you seen the golden pheasant? I haven't seen it yet." What does the golden pheasant look like! Mother, why don't you find it out and show me!"

An Ran couldn't help but glared at Qian Ning, this eighth woman!Didn't you tell him that Mrs. Wen is not free today, so don't worry?This big-mouthed brat!
At this time, Qian Rui, who came to celebrate his mother's birthday, happened to walk to the door, waiting for the girl to report.Hearing his younger brother's words, he couldn't help but look in through the gap in the door curtain, just in time to see An Ran stomping his feet lightly and seemed to be glaring at his younger brother.He was taken aback for a moment, but then couldn't help laughing.What an interesting little girl.No wonder Master Zhao always mentions his own daughter.

Mrs. Wen was also taken aback.Generally speaking, unless it is an extremely expensive gift, it will be given to the owner in public. Generally speaking, the gift list is presented when entering the door, and the servant will deliver the gift to the place designated by the owner. When the host is free, he will find it interesting to read the gift list Go check it out again.Mrs. Wen knew about the Zhao family's situation, and she didn't hope that the Zhao family would send any heavy gifts. She probably made the needlework by Gu's own.Gu's needlework is good, which can be seen from the clothes of herself and Mr. Zhao.

But now that his son wants to look at the screen in public, is it Gu who wants to show off?Or is it the son himself?Wen Shi glanced at Gu Wanniang with a smile, and saw that her eyes were startled and panicked, so she knew that her son must be mischievous.

Thinking that the master valued Mr. Zhao very much, she also had to save some face for Mr. Zhao, and said: "Mrs. Zhao is said to be good at sewing, I really want to see it! It's just that the banquet will start soon. Why don't we watch it at night? "

Qian Ning pouted, feeling a little unhappy in his heart, but today was his mother's birthday, so he decided to be filial and listen to his mother's words in a very sensible way.

Qian Ning was about to nod his head in agreement when he heard the news from Mother Zhong who was beside his mother that the young master had come to pay his wife's birthday wishes.

As soon as Mrs. Wen heard this, she immediately asked me to come in.At the same time, the wives, grandmas, and ladies of the nearby families who heard the news also looked at the door expectantly.When they came here today, apart from currying favor with the county magistrate's wife, they also thought about how great it would be if they could marry their daughters over.

Mr. Qian's eldest son, Qian Rui, is only this year, and I heard that he has been selected as a scholar this year. He is already handsome and has no bad reputation outside, but he is the best son-in-law in the eyes of the wives in the county.

The door curtain was beaten by the mother-in-law, Qian Rui walked in with a slight bend, and said to Mrs. Wen with a smile: "Mother, my son is here to kowtow to you!" After saying that, he knelt down on the mat in front of Mrs. Wen, and seriously He kowtowed and said at the same time: "My son wishes my mother good health and longevity."

"Get up quickly." Mrs. Wen happily helped her son up, only thinking that her son would look good.

Qian Rui stood up, took a look at An Ran, and suddenly said: "My son is also very interested in the screen embroidered by Mrs. Zhao. Mom, why don't you ask someone to look for it, so as to open the eyes of the wives."

Mrs. Wen didn't expect that her son, who was always smart and sensible, would make such an unreasonable request, and she was slightly taken aback.But since her son mentioned this, there was naturally his intention. She believed in her son, so she immediately ordered the mother-in-law beside her to bring in the screen sent by Zhao's family.

The screen that Gu Wanniang gave was so exquisite and unique that the butler was very careful when collecting it, and put it alone in the room of valuables. When the woman next to Mrs. Wen said it, she immediately sent it to the backyard.

At this time, not only the wives and grandmas of the families were curious, but even Mrs. Wen became curious.Channing was even more delighted.Only Mrs. Yang looked at Gu Wanniang with some concern, and asked in a low voice, "What happened?" This is not an expensive gift, and if it is displayed in front of all the guests, isn't it embarrassing for my uncle?
Gu Wanniang looked at the door anxiously, and said helplessly, "I don't know what's going on. It's also my fault, brother Qi. Well, what kind of golden pheasant is mentioned, and all these things have happened for nothing. It's really not worrying. Not as sensible as his sister."

An Qi stood behind her mother, and when she heard what her mother said, she could only bow her head in shame and repent.Only now did he finally understand why An Ran tried to dissuade Qian Ning in the garden before, and why he interrupted Qian Ning before. It turned out that his sister knew that it was not good to present their family's gifts now.

Soon, the screen covered with red silk was lifted up by two thick women and placed on the high table beside Mrs. Wen.When everyone saw it, it turned out to be a small screen.

Mrs. Wen smiled and got up under everyone's expectant eyes and lifted the red silk in front of everyone, and there was a burst of exclamation in the Nuan Pavilion.Mrs. Wen was also stunned the moment she saw the screen.

"Ah! It's really lifelike!"

"This shape, this pattern is really amazing!"

"It's really ingenious!"

"Look at that bird, that tail is so pretty! What kind of bird is this?"

"And that peony, it blooms really well, making people feel festive just looking at it!"
