Tao took Chen Danxia and the other two back to the Sanfang Courtyard. Chen Danxun had recovered from his senses. Chen Dannian was either brainless or had some support to dare to be arrogant in front of his mother. However, these had nothing to do with her. She recognized her identity clearly and she would not learn Chen Dannian.

The four of them sat down at the dining table in the small hall, Baoqin and Rao stood behind Tao to serve her for dinner. The maids obeyed the instructions and put the rice on the table.

He picked up a few chopsticks and put them in a small bowl. Rao served the soup and placed it with Tao. Tao drank the soup, ate the dishes, and said, "Forget it, there are servants here, you can sit next to you." Tao is a generous person and doesn't like to mess with these concubines. It's good to know the rules. Besides, they are the biological mothers of two concubines after all, and they will leave some face for them in front of them.

"Yes, madam." Baoqin and Rao bowed their knees and sat down next to them.

The third room was eating quietly, and the mother Chen in Xuanziyuan loved her son even more. She opened a private warehouse and took out a picture of "Pine Plum Double Cranes" painted by a famous artist and handed it to Lin. She said with a tired face: "Include the gift list, don't make me foolish. This is related to the future of the third brother. Only when the third brother is good can the eldest brother be promoted. Only when the brothers work together can the family prosper here."

"Mother, no matter how confused I am, I can still tell you clearly. If you are worried, I will show you the gift list before you leave on the 30th." Lin said with a smile.

Chen's mother looked at her and said, "Yes." She agreed with Lin's meaning. She used to think that Tao was the best to control, but today Tao's performance made her feel uneasy about her eldest daughter-in-law.

Lin's smile froze. Okay, there is no need to make any idea now.

On the afternoon of the 29th, the Shen Bomi brothers came back from the academy and brought back seven or eight children's fun-filled core carvings and a small basket of woven wickers containing four clay animals.

"Sister, I'll play with you." Shen Baiyu piled all the things in front of Shen Danxia, ​​"Sister, is the third brother good to you?"

Shen Bomi said quietly beside him, "I bought it, you didn't even get a copper plate."

Shen Baiyu scratched his head and smiled, pushed Shen Baimi with his shoulders, and said, "Second brother, you and I are still calculating. Are we a good brother or a twin brother."

Shen Bomi hummed twice, not commenting.

Chen Danxia didn't care about the matter between the two brothers and waved generously: "Sister Seven, Sister Eleven, come here to choose the one you like."

"Thank you, Sister Jiu (Sister Jiu)." Chen Danhui and Shen Danxun thanked him, but did not walk over, but looked at Shen Bomi with his eyes.

Shen Bomi clenched his fist with his right hand, put his mouth and coughed lightly, and said, "Go and choose the one you like."

After receiving his promise, Chen Danhui and Shen Danxun walked over, each of them chose one, thanked Chen Danxia again, and then thanked Shen Bomi brothers, and retreated to the outdoor room with the wood carving.

Chen Danxia played with the wood carving and core carving for a while. Seeing that the brothers Tao and Shen Bomi finished talking, he picked up the exquisite and cute little basket as big as a palm, ran to Tao to offer treasures, "Mom, mother, look, look." As he said that, Chen Danxia took out the four clay animals, a pig, two cows, and a sheep, which was the zodiac sign of Tao, Shen Bomi brothers and Shen Danxia. In Shen Bomi's heart, the four of them were a family.

"Do you like these little things so much?" Tao asked with a smile, touching her head.

"I like, these little things were carefully selected by the second brother and the third brother for Xiao Jiuer. They are the affection that the brothers treat Xiao Jiuer. Xiao Jiuer has no choice but to repay them. After learning to embroidery, they will make a beautiful purse for the second brother and third brother." Chen Danxia is the one who knows what he is.

"We Xiao Jiuer are the most obedient." Tao smiled and picked her up, feeling very relieved. The brothers and sisters are coming and going, and this affection is deep.

Shen Bomi smiled and said, "I'm waiting for my sister's purse."

"Sister, do it for me first." Shen Baiyu squeezed away Shen Bai and said secretly.

Chen Danxia laughed and didn't answer, and Tao and Shen Baiyu didn't hear it.

The next morning, three people gathered in Xuanziyuan. Chen’s mother sat on the soft couch, half leaning against the golden silk brocade pillow, and a big red embroidered felt on her body.

Chen Muzai and Lin led the people from the eldest house to pay their respects, and then Chen Mushi and Zhou led the people from the second house to pay their respects. Before Chen Muke came back, Tao led his children to pay their respects.

Chen's mother looked at their clothes with a squinting eyes, frowned, and showed displeasure. Chen Danhui was old enough to wear a girl's bun. Her clothes were different from Chen Danxia and Shen Danxun. Chen Danxia was a legitimate daughter, and there was a little difference between them and Shen Danxun. This was normal. However, Chen Danxun and Shen Dannian were both concubines and were of the same age. In theory, they should have different clothes, but the two were very different in their clothes.

Although Chen Dannian was wearing new clothes, the material was ordinary silk, while Chen Danxun wore cloud silk embroidered satin; Chen Dannian was combed with a double bun, and the bun was tied with a water-red belt the same color as the clothes, and the lower end of the band was covered with pearls the size of mung beans; Chen Danxun was combed with a flower bud, and a few bead-inlaid flower ornaments were dotted on the bun, and the lower end of the band was covered with gilded peaches.

Chen's mother's face darkened and she said sternly: "From the third family, Xiao Twelve is born in vain. I don't expect you to treat her like her own, but you can't do it like this?"

"Why did the old lady say this?" Tao asked calmly, thinking that Mother Chen was asking for trouble for what happened two days ago.

"Why did you say this?" Chen's mother sneered, "What is Xiao Shiyi wearing? What is Xiao Shiyi wearing? You don't have a look!"

Tao glanced at Chen Dannian and said, "The old lady shouldn't ask me about this, but the twelve girls should ask me."

Chen Dannian had noticed Chen Danxia's wear before. After Chen's mother reminded her, she found that her clothes were comparable to Chen Danxia, ​​not to mention Chen Danxun. Her clothes were the worst among the sisters of the family, but Chen Danli was wearing two pearls as big as rice.

Chen Dannian said in anger and aggrievedly: "What did the wife ask my grandmother to ask me? What else is there to say about what is in front of me now."

Chen Danhui and Shen Danxun were both shocked. The slap two days ago did not seem to have caused her to reflect on her.
