Chapter 779 The old lady’s beating

Bai Ruozhu felt a little embarrassed like this. It was said that red flowers need green leaves as a foil, but she never thought that she would have to shock everyone today, as long as she didn't lose Mrs. Meng's face. As a modern soul, she doesn't particularly care about this kind of pomp and circumstance in ancient times.

But she still understood the other party's kindness. She blessed Mrs. Meng and said, "Grandma, I'm here."

Mrs. Meng's smile made the wrinkles at the end of her eyes deeper, "Okay, okay, good boy." Especially after she saw Bai Ruozhu wearing the tourmaline necklace and earrings she gave her today, she nodded with great satisfaction.

"Sister Ruozhu, you will be our sister from now on, so you have to take care of us. If you have any new models, please let us know first." Meng Jinse took Bai Ruozhu's arm, with a hint of coquettishness in her tone.

Bai Ruozhu laughed, "I know you are thinking about this, come here, Song gives this to you." She said, taking out two coin purses from her sleeves and handing them to the two of them.

At this time, they all used purses. This was the first time for Meng Jinxiu and Meng Jinxia to see this kind of small coin purse, and it was made into a small, swollen goldfish shape, not to mention how cute it was.

"Wow, so cute, thank you sister!" No matter how steady she is, Meng Jinse is still a teenage girl. When she saw the little goldfish coin purse, her eyes turned into hearts.

Meng Jinxia is relatively shy, and her performance is not as exaggerated as Meng Jinse's, but her eyes are bright and her face is slightly red when she smiles, which shows that she likes him very much.

"Hey, how do you open this?" Meng Jinse held the coin bag in his hand, but couldn't speak for a long time.

Bai Ruozhu took it, pointed to the buckle above, and said, "It's right here. Use two fingers to push it back and forth and it will open."

Bai Ruozhu hired a special craftsman to customize this small part. Although this thing is relatively simple, few people used it in ancient times.

The Meng Jinse sisters tried as Bai Ruozhu said, and they opened it. The inside of the fish was lined with silk satin, which could be used to put broken silver coins and banknotes. Outside the coin bag, a string came out of the fish's mouth, and there was a hook on the head. , making them curious again.

Bai Ruozhu explained with a smile: "This hook is hung on the built-in hook in the bag, so that the coin bag can be easily rummaged through in the bag. Of course, you can also hang it on the outside of the bag for decoration, which is also very beautiful. .”

After hearing this, the Meng sisters hurriedly hung the little goldfish on the outside of the bags they brought today. Meng Jinse's little fish was threaded with gold threads, and its eyes were still two small gold beads, while Meng Jinxia's was a little fish dotted with tiny pearls. , the fish eyes are two obsidians, one can be said to be shiny and the other is restrained, both are very delicate and cute.

Bai Ruozhu is wearing a water-red eight-piece exquisite skirt today. There are not too many patterns on the clothes. Only the cuffs, collar, and skirt are embroidered with entangled gardenia flowers. Although the whole person is bright, she looks elegant and noble.

She wore tourmaline jewelry around her neck and ears, which gave her clothes a little more life, so she only used a small gold powder dinner bag for the bag in her hand.

When she accompanied Mrs. Meng to the scene, she immediately attracted everyone's attention. Everyone saluted Mrs. Meng, but their eyes were fixed on her handbag and the Meng sisters' little goldfish coin bags. Almost staring out.

Women all love beauty. In the circle of unmarried ladies, beauty may be more important than literary talent, music, chess, calligraphy and painting. There is nothing to judge a talented woman. But in the circle of married ladies, no one cares about their literary talents. When attending banquets, who is dressed more beautifully, whose clothes and accessories are more luxurious and newer in style.

Hua Xiangrong is now the fashion icon of Beiyu City. As Hua Xiangrong's boss, Bai Ruozhu is naturally the target of everyone's attention.

After the two parties met, Mrs. Meng said to everyone: "I invite you all to come today. On the one hand, I want to contact you and build a relationship. On the other hand, I have recognized a step-granddaughter and want to introduce it to you."

As she spoke, she took Bai Ruozhu's hand, patted the back of her hand with her other hand, and said with a smile: "Ruozhu, this girl is very suitable for me. She also cured my teeth. She will be my old woman from now on." ’s granddaughter, you all should take more care of her. It’s not easy for her and her husband Jiang Yichun to run errands in our Beiyu City now, so you should be more patient. If any of you bully my good granddaughter, My old lady won’t agree.” She laughed as if she was joking.

There is something in Mrs. Meng's words. How could these ladies like these ladies not hear it? Many people said yes, and then congratulated Mrs. Meng for recognizing such an outstanding granddaughter. Naturally, everyone praised her.

Bai Ruozhu always had a smile on her face and nodded politely to everyone, but her eyes were observing everyone's expressions. Some people were really congratulating, and some were just being polite. It couldn't be said that they were very interested, nor that they were not interested. She likes her, but there are also people who smile on the surface but have a sarcastic look in their eyes, probably because they look down on her identity.

Of course, there are also people who have fewer smiles on their faces and a sullen look in their eyes.

Needless to say, one of them was Wang Miaoshuang. Mrs. Meng was holding a banquet, and it would be inappropriate for her eldest daughter-in-law not to show up. Another Bai Ruozhu took a closer look and found that her facial features were somewhat similar to Wu Bai's. They all said that her son was like his mother, so he was probably Wu Lie's wife.

Sure enough, Wu Lie and his wife were very unhappy with Jiang Yichun's airborne landing.

Bai Ruozhu didn't pay much attention to Mrs. Wu. Anyway, Mrs. Meng had beaten everyone here. Even if someone wanted to touch her, they should look at their own weight. As for persuading Wu Lie, they should leave it to Wu Ying and Wu Bai brothers. Bar.

The banquet was in the form of a buffet, and it was arranged by the lake in the back garden of the Meng family. Everyone could eat freely, chat, and even go boating on the lake to enjoy themselves. But today there were only ladies and few young girls, so no one wanted to go boating.

Bai Ruozhu followed the Meng sisters to get food, and someone came over to show their kindness. First, they asked her if she also wanted to order small goldfish like the Meng sisters. After chatting for a while, they turned to Bai Ruozhu's husband.

"I heard that you went to the capital a while ago. Did you go with your husband?" the lady asked.

Seeing the gossip on her face, Bai Ruozhu simply said it clearly, "Yes, my husband had an accident and fell off a cliff before. It was not until a while ago that we, mother and son, were found. Later, we followed him back to Beijing to report on his duties, and the emperor sent him to Beijing. Yucheng.”

"Oh, your Majesty is a wise king. He can think so highly of Mr. Jiang because he is young and promising." The lady said with a smile.

Bai Ruozhu also smiled at her and said, "My husband is young after all. Many things in the future will require the care of my seniors."

The lady was very happy after hearing this and said, "You are so humble."

At this moment, a discordant voice sounded from the side, "Of course he doesn't dare to say that he is young and promising, and he doesn't want to think about the scandal that caused in Beijing..."
