Chapter 172 Temporary Performance
"This bracelet... this bracelet is so beautiful..."
Old Madam Lu imitated the behavior of an ordinary old lady, stretched out her hand and involuntarily touched the agate and gold bracelet of the old lady of the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion.
She had lived in the Lu family's hometown for many years, and she really imitated the old ladies in the countryside who had never seen the world.
Unfortunately……
The old lady of Jing'an Marquis's Mansion frowned again.
This second cousin of mine is a very honest person. When she was young, she came to my house, but she refused any jewelry given to her, saying that she must live by her own hands.
Although my second sister's family is very poor, they live a strong life.
She also has a strong sense of self-esteem, which is why the old lady of Jing'an Marquis has cut off contact with her second sister's family for so many years.
Fortunately, she is old now, and there was a famine this year. The old lady of Jing'an Marquis was concerned about her family and sent someone to visit them, giving them fifty taels of silver, two pork legs, three hundred kilograms of grain, and one hundred kilograms of soybean oil.
The servant sent from the Jing'an Marquis Mansion said that the old lady's second sister was extremely moved, and even said that she would definitely visit her sister and reminisce if she got the chance.
The old lady of Jing'an Marquis was very happy, and taking the opportunity of her grandson Feng Jin's wedding, she specially invited this cousin to live in her house.
Although others didn't notice it, Madam Jing'an always felt that her cousin looked a lot different from before, and her personality had also changed a lot...
"Cousin, you didn't like these jewelry before, saying that it was an ordinary family. If you don't exchange these things for money, it's useless for you to wear them."
The old lady of Jing'an Marquis smiled slightly and said, "Now that I am old, I have changed."
Upon hearing this, Madam Lu nodded vigorously and said, "You are absolutely right! Sister... I would never even look at this bracelet before, but now I find it rare. Oh... You are so rich, this bracelet looks good on you, but not on me!"
After saying that, she reached out and gently touched the expensive agate bracelet on the hand of the old lady of Jing'an Marquis.
The maid of the old lady of Jing'an Marquis frowned into a knot...
The old lady's cousin's thoughts were obvious. She even dared to covet the things on the old lady's hand.
The old lady once said that although her cousin was born in poverty, she was proud and would never take advantage of others.
Even though they were related to the Jing'an Marquis Mansion, they had never been attacked by anyone...
"Cough cough..."
The girl coughed heavily, and only then did Mrs. Lu come to her senses and quickly withdrew her hand.
This agate bracelet is of such great quality that Madam Lu was overwhelmed by its warm touch after just touching it...
She had never worn such a beautiful bracelet in her life.
Compared to this bracelet, the jewelry Lu Zhanyao had given her as a gift was simply rubbish!
"Madam, it's getting late. Why don't we go to the front yard and take a look... There are many distinguished guests today. Madam, please don't waste your energy in this garden."
The girl's words were ambiguous, but the old lady of Jing'an Marquis still cared about the friendship between her and her cousin.
As I get older, I want to talk more with my peers. Besides, I haven’t seen my cousin for many years…
"Okay. Go back to my room and get a pair of gold bracelets."
The old lady of Jing'an Marquis has at least ten pairs of gold bracelets, so it's no problem to give one pair to someone.
The girl cursed in her heart, "This old witch has gotten herself into trouble today. I can't see her pride at all. I find it strange that she is obsessed with the old lady's things!"
Give yourself a pair of gold bracelets?
Madam Lu's eyes rolled around, and she couldn't help thinking to herself, "This Jing'an Marquis's Mansion is really generous. They casually gave out a pair of gold bracelets. Now that Aunt Mei is the housekeeper, it will be difficult for her and Sheng Shi to make some private money from the store. It would be great if we could get more valuable jewelry from this Jing'an Marquis's Mansion today."
Seeing that her cousin was in deep thought, the old lady of Jing'an Marquis looked at her wrist again...
"Hehe...cousin, are you attracted by this agate bracelet I'm wearing?"
Madam Jing'an caressed her bracelet slowly, her fingernails scratching the hollows on the bracelet...
Madam Lu swallowed her saliva and said, "Nothing... nothing..."
"This bracelet was originally given to me by the Sixth Princess. It has a different meaning and I have worn it for many years."
The old lady of Jing'an Marquis's Mansion tactfully told her cousin in front of her: You seem to be thinking about the wrong thing.
Madam Lu twitched her lips awkwardly, pretending to be inexperienced: "Oh, this is incredible! This Sixth Princess... is the Emperor's daughter... the things she gives are naturally treasures!"
After saying that, he smiled awkwardly and said, "Why don't you wear it for me, sister? I will feel at peace when I die."
These words really caught people off guard.
The old lady of Jing'an Marquis came back to her senses and smiled awkwardly: "The girl will go back and get you a bracelet. If you like it, it's okay for you to wear my bracelet first."
After saying that, the old lady of Jing'an Marquis took off the bracelet that the Sixth Princess had given her. Old Lady Lu took it hastily and looked at it with envy for a long time. Then she carefully took out a green satin handkerchief from her bosom, skillfully put it on her hand, and put the bracelet directly on.
This action simply stunned the old lady of Jing'an Marquis.
"As far as I can remember, my cousin never wore a bracelet before... She actually knew to put the handkerchief on her hand and put on the bracelet? But never mind. After all, we haven't been in touch for many years. It's normal for people's preferences to change. If I ask too much, I'm afraid that with my cousin's personality, she will think that I look down on her and underestimate her family for not being able to afford a bracelet!"
The old lady at least prepared herself mentally, and she didn't want to watch Madam Lu raise her arms and admire the jade bracelet given by the Sixth Princess towards the sun...
At least the maid took out a pair of gold bracelets, and Mrs. Lu was able to replace her jade bracelet.
"Cousin, I'll give you this gold bracelet. I'll send someone to visit you this year... Did the food work?"
Always needing to find a topic, the old lady of Jing'an Marquis took the initiative to ask.
Madam Lu put her hands in her pockets, tightly holding the gold bracelet that the girl brought...
The bracelet is a bit thin, but only two fingers wide.
"cousin……"
"Ah...it worked, of course it worked!"
Madam Lu responded hurriedly, "This year is really a year of disaster! I can't bear to use or eat the things you sent me, I'm saving them for my son and grandson... Oh, you enjoy the good life in this mansion, you don't know how much suffering we have endured!"
In order to win the sympathy of the old lady of Jing'an Marquis, Old Lady Lu simply forgot Lu Zhanyao's advice to "talk less".
In her opinion, Lu Zhanyao gave her this opportunity, so she naturally couldn't waste it. It was a small matter for her to broaden her horizons. The most important thing was that she wanted to have a good fight in Jing'an Marquis's Mansion...
After all, she and the old lady of Jing'an Marquis can only pretend to have a sisterly relationship this time, and it will never happen again.
