Chapter Nine
It seemed that he knew that Su Wan would ask this question, but Wu Yi's answer was concise and clear.
"If you go back to the fifth lady, the second master will enter the city in darkness. After meeting the second master just now, he went back to the house. The young master has not seen the second master for a long time, so he sent a few letters to the second master," Wu Yi said.
Su De has his own house, and his wife and children live in the house. Su De was anxious to see his wife and children, so he did not see what the only sister in the second house said.
"Then what's your intention?" Su Wan asked.
Actually, this is a nonsense. Wu Yi was holding the box in his hand. Today is her birthday again, so he naturally came to give her birthday gifts.
Sure enough, Wu Yi handed the box in his hand to Green Yi.
"This is what the second master brought back from this time when he went out. He happened to be a birthday gift for the fifth lady, so that you can play with it when you are free," said Wu Yi.
The sky was dark, and Su Wan did not see the dodge in Wu Yi's eyes.
"Miss Fifth, the second master has something to do to wait for the slave, so the slave will surrender."
After Wu Yi finished speaking, he saw Su Wan nodding and quickly left Haitangyuan.
"Miss, the second master is out and has brought you a gift back," Luyi said with a smile.
Su Wan also laughed, but she didn't agree with what Green Yi said.
There is a Jifeng in Wu Yi's speech. I'm afraid this gift was brought back by Su De.
If you really want to say something "special", you shouldn't have sent it before.
Without hearing what Wu Yi said, the son at home missed his father, so he sent a few letters to Su De.
This shows that Su De also has a way to carefully prepare the birthday gift and send it back in advance.
He signaled Green Yi to open the box, and Green Yi's expression immediately became less beautiful. However, there was a look of surprise and surprise in Su Wan's eyes.
"It's actually a gem," Su Wan said in surprise.
The gems of various peanut sizes and one of the imported products actually contained this box. Su Wan roughly estimates that there must be fifty or sixty.
"How come the second master gives these to the lady? It's really something you can play with in your spare time."
Unlike Su Wan's joy, Luyi said with some annoyance.
Gems are of course good things for Su Wan, who has had modern life experience.
But in Dacheng Country, such gems are worthless.
People with a little background look down on these things.
Poor families cannot afford imported products, so it is a bit embarrassing to have such gems that will be more powerful than the country.
"It's okay, I think this colorful one is pretty good. If it is carved, and if there is a suitable designer, you can make good jewelry," Su Wan said with a smile.
But as soon as these words came out, her face turned red.
"Miss, how can you think so? It would be fine if you were playing with a scoop. If it was made into an ornament, people would know that it would be ridiculed. The old lady would blame you," said Green Yi quickly.
Su Wan recalled a little, but it was true that no one wore jewelry made of this gem, whether in the original owner's memory or what Su Wan saw in the past few months.
Shaking his head, Su Wan felt quite regretful. Such a good gem was not only uncommon for Dacheng Country, but also had its value depreciated. It was a waste of talent.
Because of Green Yi's strong resistance, Su Wan had to give up the idea of making gems into jewelry.
When Su Wan said that she really wanted to play with gems as stones, Luyi breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the gems that could not be touched in the previous life could not be worn, they could be played with as stones, which still made Su Wan's vanity quickly satisfied.
Su De was a mistake and gave a gift that Su Wan liked.
The next morning, when Su Wan went to pay tribute to the old lady, she met Su De for the first time in the true sense.
Su De looked gentle, but after seeing Su Wan, his expression seemed extremely cold.
Even when Su Wan came forward to greet him, Su De just nodded, and he didn't even look at Su Wan, and the atmosphere was a little stiff.
However, only Su Wan and Su De are dead, and have nothing to do with others. After all, they are just two concubines.
After Su De stepped back first, Su Wan had no effect here, and he looked down on the various aspects in front of the old lady.
"Grandmother, it's Aunt Qing's birthday in the middle of next month. My mother made a new set of white jade-headed faces for me, but I like the set of pearl-headed faces in your warehouse. Grandmother, why not change it with your granddaughter?" Su Meng said coquettishly.
The "Aunt Qing" mentioned by Su Meng is not really related to Su Meng, but Su Rui's mother-in-law Lin, who is a friend of Ji's handkerchiefs, so Su Rui and Su Meng have called this elder aunt since they were young.
One of the characters "Qing" is not the name of Lin, but the character "Lin".
"How old are you? The head and face you gave you by your mother must be suitable for your age. But you want to change my head and face. Wouldn't I suffer a great loss?" the old lady said pretending to be unhappy.
According to Su Meng's age, the complete set of heads must be simple and generous. Although white jade is precious, if it is a small amount, it is naturally far worse than the old lady who takes out a set of exquisite and elegant heads.
So as soon as Su Meng said this, the old lady knew that Su Meng wanted to make a fortune by herself and make a good deal of her.
The old lady was not disliked at all.
Su Meng is the granddaughter of the eldest wife. When she has been with the old lady for a hundred years, she has to give her the big head the good things in her hands.
"You should be the accountant lady with a clever mind. You can plan for it so well. However, over the years, the pearls on the top are also a little worse," said the old lady with a smile.
After saying that, the old lady called the maid beside her.
"I have a new box of pearls in my warehouse to send to everyone. Tell her that by mid-next month, I must make a decent set of heads and faces for Meng'er," said the old lady.
"Yes, I'll go now."
The maid stepped back, Su Meng was so happy that she hurried to the old lady, hugged the old lady's arm and shook it.
"Grandmother is the best," Su Meng said happily.
The grandparents and grandchildren were all kind and kind, but the other people on the ground looked a little wrong.
They are all the granddaughters of the old lady. Not to mention the illegitimate Su Wan and others, these others are also legitimate. Could it be that they were not born in the eldest family, but they were naturally inferior to Su Meng?
Su Meng pleased the old lady, and she had a head and face that she liked, and was full of joy. After a while, she was reminded by everyone in the room, and realized that she was infringing on public anger.
Just as he was thinking about how to relieve the sisters, the old lady, who was a mature man, saved Su Meng first.
"One, look at you, my grandmother can forget you," the old lady joked.
The little girls in the room were a little embarrassed, and the previous resentment naturally dispersed.
