Meng opened the box in her hand again with a click, and inside lay an exquisite gold hairpin and a warm jade bracelet.

The eyes of the aunts and uncles were shining again, and they looked at the jewelry in the box greedily.

Some unmarried girls stared at it, unable to move their eyes away. They had never seen such luxurious jewelry before.

Having a red hairband at home is a treasure of the family. Now when I see such a beautiful piece of jewelry, I can’t wait to see it and my eyes will be attracted to it immediately.

Although Liu Jinyu had corrected a lot, she was still a young girl after all. When she saw the jewelry in her grandmother's hand, she stared at it with envy and love in her eyes, but there was no greed or covetousness in her eyes.

Shen's attitude was unusually serious. She didn't look at the jewelry with covetousness, but she had some vague guesses and excitement in her heart.

The women in the room looked at the jewelry in the box greedily, wishing they could put them on.

Some smart ones sat up straight and looked around the Liu family's house again, knowing that the Liu family was about to rise.

Thinking of the identities of their granddaughter and son-in-law, and the current prosperous days of Kaoshan Village, she understood that the Liu family, as her in-laws, would only get better and better.

Just look at this big house and the duck farm of the Dafang family and you will know.

If they take better care of themselves in the future, they can also benefit from it. The Liu family eats meat and they can just drink the soup residue. It is better than digging for food in the fields and still not being full.

Thinking of this, these people changed their expressions, with smiles all over their faces, and kept saying nice words and blessings. Meng and Old Man Liu blushed and couldn't bear it.

Let’s talk about the box in Meng’s hand.

She glanced at her two daughters-in-law, asked them to come forward, wiped her hands, then carefully took out two gold hairpins from the box and gently placed them on a clean handkerchief.

"These two golden hairpins, belonging to the eldest and second eldest families, were given by the Emperor to your niece, the Princess of Huide. They are imperial jewelry."

Mrs. Meng spoke solemnly. When the two daughters-in-law heard this, they stood up straighter, with respect and solemnity on their faces, and bent slightly.

Everyone in the hall was shocked. When they heard that this was the emperor's reward, they dared not sit still. They all stood up and knelt on the ground.

Some of those who were slow to react were also pulled to kneel down, which frightened Mrs. Meng and Old Man Liu's family.

The two of them reacted and quickly called their son and grandson to help the man up. Only then did everyone barely stand up.

Old Man Liu comforted everyone and asked them to sit down. The emperor was a very kind person and would not blame anyone if they did not kneel.

Everyone sat down quickly, and suddenly realized, how do you, Old Liu, know that the Emperor is a good person, and why don't you blame us for not kneeling?

Is there something else here that they don't know?

The smart ones thought more, their eyes became deeper, and their attitude towards the Liu family changed again.

These Liu family members didn't know about it, and they wouldn't tell outsiders that they had met the emperor.

Old Man Liu smacked his lips. These people had never seen the world, unlike himself, who had played chess with the emperor.

He avoided talking about his reaction when he knew it was the emperor, and did not mention at all that he was more frightened than the people in front of him. He only recalled the highlight of his chess game with the emperor.

Meng coughed and continued, "This is a gift specially selected by the county lady for your two aunts. You must love the county lady well in the future. She is thinking of you."

After saying that, he carefully picked up the two gold hairpins and put them on the heads of his two daughters-in-law.

The two daughters-in-law did not dare to move and let their mother-in-law put on the hairpin. However, they felt touched and solemn in their hearts. They felt that after putting on the hairpin given by the emperor, they dared not move at all.

The mother-in-law actually gave them such a precious gold hairpin directly. It was given by the niece of the younger sister-in-law/eldest sister-in-law. They are just ordinary women, but they can wear such a good thing.

The mother-in-law could have kept it for herself, but now she gave it to them without hesitation.

They were so happy that they looked at their mother-in-law with tears in their eyes, thinking that they would have to be more filial to her in the future.

The county lady's niece is so good to them, they should love her well. No, they should love all four nieces and nephews!

Then Meng gave them two jade bracelets respectively. Although Chen Qing had worked as a servant in a wealthy family before, she had never seen such good things, and she looked very fond of them.

Shen looked at the jade bracelet in her hand with cherishment, and called out "Mom" with tears and a smile in her eyes.

Mrs. Meng glared at her and patted her two daughters-in-law soothingly: "The future prosperity of our Liu family depends on you brothers and sisters-in-law supporting each other. Our Liu family will flourish and become better and better."

The two of them quickly agreed. Chen Qing's face flushed and she looked at Liu Yanqing. Liu Yanqing looked at his wife with a smile. There was affection in their eyes, and it was obvious that they had a very good relationship. Seeing this, Meng was only happier.
