Chapter 1162 Meeting Gift

The two of them followed Jiang Xuexiang and the others into Jiang Mansion. Jiang Mansion was still as dilapidated as when Bai Ruozhu and Jiang Yichun came back to see it. After all, they were poor. Jiang Ge always wanted to have a breeze, and his own family couldn't afford it and he had to support relatives. How could he not be poor? ?

Jiang Yihong was the youngest. Before he could calm down, he had already happily approached Jiang Yichun and asked with a smile: "Brother, I heard that you are very good at martial arts. Can you teach me when you have free time in the future?"

Although Jiang Yichun was a bit indifferent, he still liked these brothers and sisters. He nodded lightly, "Okay."

"What nonsense are you talking about? You want to study for fame, so what are you doing like those who fight and kill? Don't forget your identity!" Jiang Chen said in a low voice with a hint of reproach.

"Mom, just leave it alone. If you know some martial arts, you can protect yourself. Besides, my eldest brother can learn it regardless of his status. Why can't I learn it?" Jiang Yihong muttered dissatisfied.

"You!" Jiang Chen held back the next words, but Bai Ruozhu could guess what she was going to say. It was just that he could compare with you?

Jiang Xuexiang glanced at Chen with displeasure and said, "There's nothing wrong with Hong'er learning martial arts. It's just a matter of strengthening his body so that he won't be unable to persist in the examination room."

Jiang Chen didn't want to contradict Jiang Xuexiang outside, so she had to shut her mouth angrily. However, Jiang Yihong jumped up excitedly and winked at Jiang Yichun.

While talking like this, everyone had already walked to the main hall. Sure enough, there was no figure of Mr. Jiang Ge when they entered, but the people in the room were enough to dazzle people.

It has to be said that the Bai family itself is really thin. If Jiang Yichun does not come back, the Jiang family will only have a grandson, Jiang Yihong. But my cousin Jiang Xuebin and his wife have three children, and my cousin Dou Ning has four children, all of whom are not married yet. In total, there are eleven people. The hall is not big to begin with, and Bai Ruozhu and the others look even more impressive when they enter. It was crowded.

"Hey, sister-in-law, you have worked really hard. It is not easy for the elders to welcome the younger ones." A female voice sounded. Bai Ruozhu looked over and saw that it was Mrs. Dou. She should be called cousin.

Mrs. Dou's tone sounded warm, but when she tasted it carefully, she felt that the taste was wrong. Jiang Chen's face turned red with anger, but with the whole room full of people, she couldn't get angry, and she complained in her heart that Jiang Xuexiang had to call her. Go to greet people, otherwise she would be laughed at by Mrs. Dou.

Bai Ruozhu secretly saw everything in her eyes. As Jiang's family was in such a state of ruin, and their internal strength was still fighting, couldn't they make a good living when they had the spare time? Look at the children who are all poorly dressed. The jackets they wear are all thin cotton-padded jackets, which are not as warm as her maids and servants.

Naturally, the Jiang family noticed this, and Mrs. Dou became very jealous, and her face didn't look very good.

Bai Ruozhu and Jiang Yichun were juniors. They hugged Deng Deng and stepped forward to salute several uncles and aunts. Deng Deng also followed suit, but after going around, no one took the initiative to give Deng Deng a greeting gift.

The capital of Danliang Kingdom and many big cities have this rule, which is to give a greeting gift to the children of relatives who meet them for the first time, or when the elders meet the younger ones, they will give a purse or something. This is the first time for the Jiang family to meet Dengdeng, so follow the rules It's time to give something away.

But no one took action at this moment. I don't know whether it was because they wanted to embarrass Bai Ruozhu and his wife, or because they were so poor that they couldn't afford anything.

Xiao Dengdeng is a sincere child, but he also has a good memory. He has inherited his mother's obsession with money. He remembers that every time he meets an elder he doesn't know, he will give him something, so he is a little confused at the moment. , why don't they give me something?

"Dengdeng, come to Grandpa." Jiang Xuexiang smiled, squatted down and stretched out his hand towards Dengdeng, and placed a silver lock in his hand.

Deng Deng immediately walked over with a smile, and Jiang Xuexiang gave him the silver lock.

"This child has very steady steps and strong body bones." Jiang Xuexiang hugged him and praised happily.

Mrs. Jiang Chen gave Mrs. Dou and Mrs. Jiang Zhang a sideways look, and also took out a pair of beautifully embroidered tiger-head shoes and gave them to Xiao Dengdeng.

"I would like to thank my uncle and my aunt for Deng Deng. My aunt's craftsmanship is really good. This tiger head is so lifelike." Bai Ruozhu stepped forward to thank Deng Deng.

Mrs. Jiang Chen's face softened a lot at this moment, and she said, "This is the result of Zhihe. This child has no other abilities. He is only good at needlework."

Jiang Zhihe blushed next to him and took out a small bib for Dengdeng. It also had a beautifully embroidered little tiger on it, which just matched with the tiger-head shoes.

"I gave this to my nephew." Jiang Yihong also came over and gave Xiao Dengdeng a slingshot he made.

Jiang Chen glared at Jiang Yihong, dissatisfied with his behavior of making a slingshot.

Dafang's family all gave gifts, and left Jiang Xuebin and Dou Ning's family there to hang out. It was Jiang Zhang who spoke gently and said, "Look, we have been busy attending to the old man's illness these days, and we have forgotten to prepare anything." My sister-in-law didn’t even remind us about the meeting ceremony, which is really a slight to the Yichun couple.”

Look at what he said about filial piety. He was so focused on serving Jiangge Lao that he forgot about other things. This shows how sincere he is. And Mrs. Jiang Chen didn't remind them. The head of the family seemed not to be responsible enough, and was deliberately trying to embarrass her relatives.

Bai Ruozhu snickered in her heart, she wanted to see how Jiang Chen would fight back.

"What my brothers and sisters said, who among us is not worried about dad's condition? It has always been a custom to give gifts to children. If I remind you of this, others will think that I want to dictate to you in everything, and then it will become a problem again. I'm driving you out of the house." Jiang Chen said dissatisfied.

Jiang Xuebin's wife did not refute after hearing this. She just lowered her head and looked gloomy, as if she was about to cry.

Bai Ruozhu sighed silently in her heart, Jiang Chen was not smart. She had already said it before, but when she mentioned "kick you out of the house" later, didn't it seem like she was bullying others? It's no wonder that Mrs. Jiang Chen, a serious head of the family, can't do anything with these relatives. It turns out that Jiang Chen's rank is too low.

Jiang Xuexiang felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so he coughed dryly and asked, "Didn't dad come over?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Dou hurriedly said: "Dad said he is not feeling well. There is no reason for him to come to greet this junior, so I asked Yichun and his wife to go and greet him."

Jiang Yichun's face was already very long. Bai Ruozhu gently pulled his sleeve and said to Mrs. Dou: "My cousin is right, it's time for us to see grandpa."

Jiang Yichun trembled slightly. It was obvious that he was very repelled by the word "grandpa". Bai Ruozhu secretly tugged again, indicating that he had to endure it. He didn't want to say those two words, so let her do it to avoid being picked on.

"This is our first official meeting with our brothers and sisters. This is our meeting gift as husband and wife." Bai Ruozhu took out the meeting gift that she had prepared before and distributed it to Jiang Zhi and them, including Jiang Xuebin and Dou Ning's. child, so the faces of Mr. and Mrs. Jiang Xuebin and Mr. and Mrs. Dou Ning looked ugly, as if they were covered in shit.
