Grandma Bai gave Ma's sister-in-law some things, so she naturally expected something in return. She also heard that the young lady of the Cheng family had arrived, and wished that the two of them would meet immediately. She mentioned her grandson to her little lady.

In the past few days, Erlang has been scratching his heart like a cat's paw, and he can't even read the book, but he pretends to be calm on the surface. When he walked, he still looked arrogant, without squinting, without pausing at all, but when he really passed by, no one saw him inside, and an inexplicable annoyance arose in his heart.

Erlang spread this annoyance on his family members. He kept his face all day long, and he looked very similar to Grandma Bai. One day he didn't cook well, but tomorrow he picked a few younger sisters to yell at him for studying, and later he blamed his own mother. She was doing too much laundry, and she tore a hole in her favorite piece of clothing.

Holding the dress, Mrs. Xu coaxed her son flatteringly, "I'll ask your aunt to sew it for you. She is good at hand. The cut is under the armpit, so I'm sure you won't be able to see it."

Erlang became angry, and became more and more lawless in front of his mother who had always been doting on him, "I don't wear it, I have worn a piece of clothing over and over again for half a year, and everyone in the academy secretly laughed at me."

Mrs. Xu opened her mouth, Erlang didn't wait for her to speak, and said again: "It's not like usual now, the young lady of the Cheng family has come to the village, and mother will point me to wear this rags to get acquainted with her? Yu Xiaolang, Feng Dalang are both Made new clothes."

Hearing those two families mentioned by him, Xu's heart felt sour again. Without thinking about it, she said in a strange way: "Can our family compare with those two families? Their family is just exposed between the fingers, and they are also better than ours." Hello home."

Erlang has strong self-esteem, so naturally he didn't want to hear this, his face immediately flushed red, and sparks appeared in his eyes, "Can those two people compare with me? They will be stinky farmers in the future! If you want to say that, don't expect me to be with you." Miss Cheng knows it."

His words were almost a threat, but he was using himself as a bargaining chip. Xu's concern was chaotic. After hearing this, he was afraid that his son would not cooperate at that time. Coaxed: "Okay, okay, make new clothes, mother, tell your grandma, let her think of a way."

Only then did Erlang calm down a bit, and nodded in a calm manner.

The next morning, Mrs. Xu expressed Erlang's intentions to Grandma Bai. She also wanted her son to wear new clothes, so she was happy to throw this issue out, so she added fuel to the conversation, "Erlang's current clothes are indeed a bit shabby. Well, that Miss Cheng is from the capital, so her eyesight is naturally higher. If the two of them have a chance to meet each other in the future, they may not have a good impression when they see Erlang dressed like this. Our Erlang has a good character and is a scholar with a bright future. , if you put on brand new and clean clothes and make them tight and nice, wouldn’t that be the icing on the cake? Who else in this village can surpass us Erlang? If the two of you become married by then, then you will enjoy endless blessings.”

Grandma Bai thought about it, and it was true. Although Erlang's clothes are the best in the Bai family, they are not enough to be seen outside. The young lady Cheng came from a wealthy family, so don't look down on Erlang just because of a piece of clothing, then the loss outweighs the gain So, Grandma Bai gritted her teeth and said fiercely, "Okay, I'll find a way about the clothes."

When Mrs. Xu heard this, her heart blossomed with joy, and she said a few flattering words about how to enjoy life if the two of them get married in the future, which made Grandma Bai even more elated.

In the afternoon, Grandma Bai entered Ding Shi's room alone. Grandma Bai changed what Xu said in the morning, and said again, "You know that our family's money is tight for the newly replaced farm tools, but now it's not as bad as usual. , if Erlang and Cheng Xiaoniang become married, what land will we plant then? The Cheng family can't make the in-laws too shabby, can they?"

Ding had already guessed the purpose of Grandma Bai's trip, so she kept silent. Hearing this, she couldn't help but snort coldly. She said it as if it would be accomplished soon.

Seeing that she was unmoved, Grandma Bai continued: "He has remembered your kindness to Erlang. When he becomes rich in the future, can he still treat you badly? The first thing is to tell San Niang Si Niang a good marriage. , and let the two of you get married in a splendid manner."

Speaking of Ding, she also wanted Erlang to be able to go to high school, so that her family could follow suit.

Grandma Bai glanced her eyelids and knew that Ding's heart was moved, so she said the purpose of the trip, "I went to deliver something to Mrs. Ma, and asked her daughter-in-law to mention our Erlang more in front of Nanny Song in Cheng Yuan. Nanny Song also has some status in Chengyuan. If she says so, I'm not afraid that Mrs. Cheng won't care, but the Cheng family is a wealthy family in the capital. It’s too shabby, Manniang, take some money and make new clothes for Erlang.”

Although Mrs. Ding had already guessed Grandma Bai's purpose, she was still suffocated when she heard her say it now. She immediately drooped her face and said calmly, "Mother, the money that Sanshi brings every time he comes back is not that bad." Is it all for you, where do I have money? I also want to let Erlang be well, but I can't help it!"

The three stones in her mouth are the third son of the Bai family. This third son works for you in the town and comes back once a month to bring some money back.

Grandma Bai naturally didn't believe that Ding didn't have any private money, but if the other party insisted, she couldn't say anything, so Grandma Bai shifted her gaze to the emerald green bracelet on Ding's wrist, her eyes flickered, "Man Niang, I Seeing that your bracelet is not bad, it is worth some money, why don't you sell it first, after passing this test and getting rich in the future, let Erlang buy you a silver bracelet."

Ding shrank her hands subconsciously, and hid the bracelet in her sleeves. She was already cursing in her heart, and the more she scolded, the more wronged she felt, and her eyes turned red after a while, "Mother, Sanshi gave it to me, I can't Sell."

This bracelet was added later, and Grandma Bai knew about it, otherwise, Mrs. Ding would have said that this bracelet was a relic of her mother.

Grandma Bai also lost her tenderness for a long time, and she became impatient, her face turned cold, "You also said that Sanshi bought it for him, and Erlang is his nephew. In an emergency, can he agree to sell it? If you don't ask , then my old lady will go to the town and tell him to see if he sells it."

At this time, Ding's heart seemed to be lit with a furnace, a raging fire was burning, she gritted her teeth, and with her manly temperament, she agreed to sell the bracelet, and she must blame herself for letting his mother run away. In front of her mother-in-law, she also left a bad impression. Thinking of this, Ding could only knock out his teeth and swallow, "Erlang is also my nephew, can I not feel sorry for him? Let's change this bracelet into new clothes for him. I hope he and Cheng The little lady can get acquainted."

After finishing speaking, she stretched out her white and tender wrist, reluctantly took off the bracelet from it, and handed it over carefully.

Grandma Bai took the bracelet swiftly, rubbing the surface with her thumb, the touch was delicate, the affection she had just had for Ding Shi disappeared immediately, she only thought that her son had a wife and forgot his mother, and gave Ding Shi everything that was good.Granny Bai held the bracelet with an attitude that should be taken for granted. She didn't bother to say a few words of praise at first, and said flatly: "That's right, Erlang is well, it's good for our family."

After Ding heard this, she was so angry that she could only force a smile on her face, and agreed.

Grandma Bai sold the bracelet with the intention of pulling some cloth to make a thick green cotton robe, but Erlang was vain and wanted to make a good impression when he met Miss Cheng in the future, so he wanted a satin dress. A piece of satin is only seven to eight hundred yuan, but a piece of satin costs more than two pennies, four or five times the price, and the money you get from selling the bracelet is not enough.In the end, it was really helpless, so I asked my third uncle to find old clothes and satin in the Diansi, refurbished and remade, and made a light red Taoist robe.

It has to be said that Erlang looks pretty good. He is dressed in a light red Taoist robe and a Confucian scarf, which complements his handsome, dignified appearance, and a bookish atmosphere.

Erlang was also very satisfied with this, he raised his chest even higher, and gave birth to a sense of superiority. The rest of the Bai family had never seen satin clothes, and they were all envious, especially Sanniang and Siniang, who knew that they had sold their own mothers. In exchange for his bracelet, he was envious and resentful at the same time, his eyes were about to burst into flames.

Because Cheng Yuan has always been relatively low-key and independent on the outskirts of the village, it took several days until the villagers knew that not only Miss Cheng, but also the second young master of the Cheng family were here. I thought about it.However, they knew that marrying a wife was different from marrying a daughter, and they were more cautious. They didn't think that their daughter could become the wife of the house, but they were happy to accept her as a concubine or as a personal maid.And this young master is different from the young lady. The young lady doesn't leave the door all day long, so the boys don't have so many worries. This means that they have a better chance of getting in touch with the young master of the Cheng family.

For a while, the girls in the village tried their best to dress up. They didn't go out often, and they would go out for a walk from time to time, but they were more reserved and didn't want to go to the gate of Chengyuan blatantly.

Sanniang and Siniang suffered from not having the opportunity to go out, and later they came up with the clumsy excuse of sending Bai Xin off. If the young master of the Cheng family saw it, they would leave a considerate impression, wouldn't they?Grandma Bai tacitly told them to come back as soon as possible after sending them there.

Bai Xin didn't care about his own business, and let the two of them follow behind, but meeting the young master of the Cheng family was really unexpected for him.

Early this morning, Bai Xin was about to walk up the mountain with a bamboo basket on his back. Before he left the village, he was stopped by two people, one tall and one short.

The young man in the lead had red lips and white teeth, changed into a blue and earth-colored silk robe with makeup and flowers, blue satin powder-soled boot-toe shoes on his feet, a jade cicada pendant with Hetian moso bamboo knots on his waist, and shiny rings on his fingers. Xin went to the road, "I see you again!"

Bai Xin stopped abruptly, crying bitterly in his heart, not for any other reason, but because this young man was so high-profile, blind people could smell gold and silver on him, and guess who it was, at this moment, the eyes of San Niang and Si Niang Looking fiercely at the boy opposite, there are many people around who are secretly looking at him.

The author has something to say: Hello, Xiao Gong, an upstart!

Xiao Gong's approach is a bit weak ╮(╯▽╰)╭

When I was writing this article, I encountered a problem and wanted to hear suggestions from readers. I started this article with the background of the Song Dynasty because at that time, ordinary people could not use gold to make jewelry, and businessmen could not wear clothes made of silk and satin. But Not using gold seems to be unable to highlight Xiao Gong’s wealth and power, and the image of a golden upstart, so I ask for everyone’s opinions. If everyone can ignore this BUG, ​​I will rest assured and boldly let him wear gold and silver. I will avoid this problem and use other things to get him back!
