Chapter 434 The Vain Little Aunt 34
The silver bracelet weighed four taels of silver, but it was not bought by Azhi for her.
This silver bracelet was specially prepared by Azhi at Xiang Pozi in advance, in order to add to Xiang Qingcao's dowry today.
Even if the four-liang silver bracelet is pawned, it is still valuable and can be considered a personal belonging.
If anything unexpected happens, these personal belongings will be just the money for travel.
Even though Xiang Qingcao didn't want it, she still let Xiang Pozi put it on her.
Her voice was complicated.
"Thank you, grandma."
"Ah."
After giving the bracelet to the old woman, he nodded and said nothing more.
The two of them had nothing to say. If Ah Zhi hadn't insisted on paying the old woman some money, she really wouldn't have been willing to give her a four-liang silver bracelet.
I wonder how much chicken, duck, meat and food I can buy with four taels of silver.
Today Xiang Qingcao is getting married and even Mr. Hu asked her to come back to congratulate her.
The Su family's business is bigger than the Hu family's. The Hu family mainly does local business.
The Su family is a branch of the capital, their business has spread to the capital, and they have the support of the Su family's direct branch.
Mr. Hu asked Zhou Yan to come back to add makeup to Xiang Qingcao. Zhou Yan's expression was stiff and her eyes were full of heartache, but she still asked the maid to hand the brocade box to Xiang Qingcao.
She walked up to Xiang Qingcao and pretended to be familiar with her and said, "This is a little gift from me as your elder sister. I hope you don't mind it."
In the past, Zhou Yan was arrogant and didn't take Xiang Qingcao seriously at all, but now she has to come forward to please Xiang Qingcao.
Zhou Xing'er standing by widened her eyes in disbelief.
When she saw the brocade box opened and filled with jewels, she almost rushed over to snatch it back.
Fortunately, Zhou Yan arranged for someone to stop her in advance.
When Xiang Qingcao saw the good things in the brocade box, he probably guessed what Zhou Yan meant.
Everyone can see how rich the Su family is, and what’s more important is that they have a backer.
Zhou Yan looked at the things in the brocade box and couldn't help but tighten her handkerchief as a hint of jealousy flashed across her eyes.
Even she didn't know about these good things.
When Zhou Yan brought it here just now, she guessed that it was a good thing.
But Master Hu warned me not to open it and even sent a maid to keep an eye on me.
Ever since Zhou Yan went to the Hu family as a concubine, her life has not been as easy as she had imagined.
Mrs. Hu is old-fashioned and boring and attaches great importance to rules.
When she married Mr. Hu, they were a perfect match. Over the years, she was domineering and refused to let Mr. Hu take a concubine.
If the two had not been childless for so many years, how could Zhou Yan's matter come about?
As soon as Zhou Yan got married, Mrs. Hu set all kinds of rules for her.
On the surface, she is Mr. Hu's only concubine, Zhou, but in fact, she is not even as good as a maid in front of Mrs. Hu.
Xiang Qingcao covered the brocade box with her hands and smiled at Zhou Yan.
Since someone is offering me money, how can I not accept it?
"Thank you sister."
Wang Lan on the side looked unhappy.
Everyone in the village knew that Zhou Yan was a concubine. Which good girl would choose to be a concubine? It was really funny to say it.
Even though Zhou Yan added makeup to Xiang Qingcao, Wang Lan still felt that Zhou Yan's presence was glaring. However, many relatives and friends came today, and she didn't want to make things too ugly.
The red veil embroidered with dragons, phoenixes and auspicious clouds was particularly dazzling to Zhou Yan. It was the color she had always dreamed of.
Wang Lan personally escorted Xiang Qingcao out the door. As the wedding party left, Zhou Xing'er rushed up and grabbed Zhou Yan and started questioning her with a painful look on her face.
"Are you crazy? Why did you give her those nice things? Do you know how tight your brother and I are living?"
"Xiang Youlu is a worthless man who can't protect me and your brother. I thought you could come back and help me, but you actually gave the good things to an outsider. It's really stupid."
At the beginning, Zhou Xing'er was eager to divide the family because she thought that division would not harm her own interests, and that Mrs. Xiang and Old Man Xiang would not ignore their grandson.
Even if life becomes difficult in the future, I can go and cry to Qiong myself. Can the old couple of the Xiang family just ignore it?
Who could have thought that they were so hard-hearted that they really didn't care about the life or death of Xiang Youlu and Xiang Pingkang.
A while ago, Xiang Pingkang fell ill while playing in the snow, which cost Zhou Xing'er a lot of money and almost broke her bankrupt.
Seeing that Xiang Pingkang had spent a lot of her money, Zhou Xing'er ran to Xiang Po and cried poor.
But even though she knew Xiang Pingkang was ill, she didn't expect Xiang Po to remain unmoved.
This incident made Zhou Xing'er very angry, and at the same time she began to feel confused about her future.
Zhou Yan said impatiently to Zhou Xing'er, "If I don't have to give the good things to Xiang Qingcao, of course I don't want to give it to him. But these things are not mine. The master asked me to give them to Xiang Qingcao before he left. Do you really think I am willing to do so?"
Thinking that Mr. Hu was not so nice to her, Zhou Yan's eyes were full of grievance.
At the beginning, Master Hu was indeed nice to her. Even under the blessing of novelty, the things Master Hu gave her were very ordinary and could not be compared with the things in the brocade box at all.
Zhou Xing'er frowned and asked in confusion, "Why is Mr. Hu so nice to her? Why would he give her a gift when she is not even related to him?"
"Xiang Qingcao married well. I heard the master mention the background of the Su family. They have backers in the capital. The master just wants to establish a good relationship."
When Zhou Xing'er heard that it was Mr. Hu who asked her to send the gift, no matter how unwilling she was, she had to accept the reality.
Mrs. Xiang and Azhi were walking in front, and Mrs. Xiang could be heard sighing all the way.
"Such a big silver bracelet really cost me a lot of money, and now I'm giving it to Xiang Qingcao, oh."
Azhi held the old woman's arm and spoke helplessly.
"Don't feel bad, mother. The things have already been given away. There's no point in saying anything now. In fact, the silver bracelet mother gave is just right. Just now, many people whispered about how generous mother is. Mother has earned a good reputation, which I think is very good."
"Well, Yunyun said it's good, so it's good."
The matter is done, and it is useless to feel sorry for the old woman.
Three days later, Xiang Qingcao returned home with a grim look on his face. Xiang Youfu and Wang Lan beside him were full of disbelief. The couple looked at each other and were very anxious.
"Are you mistaken? How could Young Master Su be so ill? Didn't we see him full of energy at first? How could he be a sickly person who has been bedridden for years?"
Xiang Qingcao was seen wearing a red long coat, and her whole appearance was dignified and noble.
It seems that the Su family really treats her very well and they believe that Xiang Qingcao's birth date and horoscope can save the eldest master's life.
In the plot, Xiang Yun, who was married off as a substitute, had a bad life. The Su family believed that Xiang Yun was an unlucky person and wanted Xiang Qingcao to bring good luck. Isn't Xiang Yun's marriage a harm to the eldest young master?
The Su family did not have a good attitude towards Xiang Yun. Xiang Yun suffered a lot in the Su family. Rich families have many ways to torture people.
