Chapter 197 Everyone's calculations (3 more)
"Miss, I know you like simple things on weekdays, but the top scholar banquet... The lady still dresses up well."
The eldest wife was as direct as ever.
It turned out that it was for this matter. Lin Shuangyu sat down next to the eldest wife, "The eldest wife drinks tea." It would be better for anyone to be good to whom, but he would be polite.
Speaking of which, this eldest lady is also a pitiful person.
Just be a widow, I have been with my fifth brother for so many years and I am worried every day...
"Don't worry about tea. I know the young lady is busy. You can take a look at this first. If you don't like it, I'll go back and pick some."
Mother Yuan quickly held the box and put it on the table. The eldest lady opened the box and pushed it to Lin Shuangyu, "Miss, just pick it. I can't use these. Look at this pair of tassel hairpins... Don't look at what Kyoto wants, but this pair of tassel hairpins may not necessarily have it. It was brought back by the Child's uncle from the outside world."
The eldest lady approached and pointed to a pair of hairpins in the box. Lin Shuangyu picked it up and watched it. The long silver threads sag softly. When they swung, they shone like the moon. Not to mention anything else, the silver making technique is very special.
Not to mention the ruby on the head of this hairpin is the color and size, and it is hard to find one. This pair is just two, red and beautiful without any impurities.
Lin Shuangyu has seen many treasures in the palace. If you want to say that it is expensive, it is much more expensive than this one, but this pair of hairpins is indeed the most special of the jewelry she has ever seen.
It has a bit exotic flavor, and the workmanship is probably expensive.
"Big Madam...this pair of hairpins is very beautiful..."
"I have been there for a few years. My uncle just thought it was strange, so he came to me. At this age, how could I bring this? It's useful now. It's not a pity. Look again. There are some bracelets, earrings, etc. inside. I still have them. If you don't like it, I'll take some time tomorrow, and I'll ask Mother Yuan to bring some more."
.........
It seems that the eldest wife's business is very good. She glanced at it and found that the small box of jewelry was not bad. It can be seen that the eldest wife is very close to her brother.
"Madam, you just said that I have always loved to bring these things. Just keep them for my future daughter-in-law. I will accept this pair of hairpins." Lin Shuang said generously, neither polite nor greedy.
This young lady is really different from other young ladies. If the other ladies in the house saw these things, their eyes would have glowed, and Yuan's mother sighed in secret.
"It's not obvious yet. Don't worry, I'm just a child and a son. How can I lose my fault? If the eldest lady doesn't pick on it, then I'll stay it. It's getting late, so I won't bother the eldest lady."
After looking at the box and then looking at the eldest lady, Lin Shuangyu smiled helplessly, "Okay, Shuangyu will be kept. Thank you, the eldest lady, don't say a eldest lady, just like grandparents and the others, just call the eldest girl." I know that the other party is a little uncomfortable with calling him a name.
"Okay, my grandma! Then I'll leave first. Girl's house, don't be too busy and have a rest early."
Lin Shuangyu hurriedly got up to see him off. The eldest lady helped the old lady housekeeper during this period, and obviously became much more active, which was a good thing.
After leaving the door, the eldest wife stopped Shuangyu from sending her off. Yuan’s mother waited, and in the same yard, she walked through two corridors and arrived at her own room.
"Madam, I'm willing to give up!" There was no one around, and Mother Yuan couldn't help but joke.
The eldest lady held the veil and said, "It's not enough to use it left and right, it's also there. Mother Yuan, I just believe it now. My child will definitely be cured. Since the young lady came back, the child is getting better and better day by day. Now he can follow the school to study in the academy. This spring is almost over, and he goes everywhere and doesn't get sick again. These are all the skills of the young lady. I'm not confused. I know who has cured the child's disease."
If you can save your son's life, what's this thing? All this is given to the eldest lady, she won't blink. If your son has a future, he will have everything.
In addition, her son likes to respect this elder sister very much. Even if she likes her son, she is willing to take care of the eldest daughter as much as she can. After all, she is also the blood of her husband.
"Mrs. I have been kind since I was a child. I have said so much, but I still think that the eldest lady is also a pitiful person. Since the lady thinks clearly, don't be so polite in the future. The eldest lady is right. You, don't talk about the eldest lady at once, it seems a bitchy."
Mother Yuan held the eldest wife with one hand and the lantern with the other, serving carefully.
"Okay, just change your words slowly. Mother Yuan, I can't believe that there will be such a day when my child can also participate in the Hairpin Festival!"
"Why can't it be? Not only the Flower Festival, Madam forgot that Master Qiu will also participate in the autumn examination this year. Madam can wait to enjoy the blessings of Master."
The eldest lady's face was much brighter and her eyes were full of brilliance. "My child has grown up."
Can she finally make it through? In the future, she has hope.
Who doesn’t expect a future?
People in adversity are even more so, for women, sons and daughters are all their hopes for the rest of their lives, so their dreams.
In a small courtyard in the east and west corner of Mo Mansion, it is particularly quiet at night.
This small courtyard has four rooms in total. The main house opposite the door is the main house of Mo Qingshan, the ninth master of the Mo family. The lights have been turned off at this time. The newlyweds are like a flower bud. Lin Yunlan is also a beautiful lady like a flower bud. The lights went out earlier this night... It is normal for human nature.
On the right side of the main house, the slightly larger house is the house of Mo Qingshan’s mother and aunt Lian. On the left two houses are the residences of the original couple’s children.
In Mo Mansion, in addition to serving the girls and mothers, they all have fixed bedding rooms to rest when the night is quiet. Generally, they have a bunk bed, with one more living room for more than a dozen, and fewer, and some of them have three or four, and of course there are also single ones.
Therefore, this is another battlefield between the servants.
The lights in Aunt Lian's room were still on, and she was sitting next to the bed embroidered flowers. There were so many yards in their yard in a month. Over the years, she has also tried many ways to subsidize the cost.
And she spent almost all of this money on her son.
Others think that her son is just a waste who is waiting to die, but they don’t know that for so many years, her son has kept his low profile and endured everything, waiting for one day to have a chance to soar to the sky for the prime minister to see that he has such a capable son.
In this mansion, it is not only her son Cheng Ji, who is the prime minister's son. Her son is also the descendant of the prime minister. So what if you are born? As long as you have the ability and ability, why can't you?
Thinking of this in my heart, but Aunt Lian has been able to live by relying on the word "tolerance" over the years. She doesn't want to admit it, but Cheng Ji is indeed too powerful.
There is no water everywhere in this backyard. If she hadn't made up her mind at the beginning, how could her son be safe and sound to this day?
Which of the other concubines’ sons and daughters is not held in Cheng Ji’s hands? They are all tools in her hands and tools to pave the way for her son and daughter.
After leaning against the windowsill for a long time, Xiaoshuang was really not interested in watching.
Is this aunt acting again? Her expression is so rich, she is resentful, sneered, and then fierce...
When I opened the window, I flashed and the person had arrived in front of the other party.
The embroidered frame fell to the ground, opened its mouth wide, and before she could scream, Xiaoshuang pointed the acupoints. Xiaoshuang made a silent gesture through the veil, took out the letter written by Lin Shuangyu, pulled the other party's arm, put the letter into the other party's hand, and then left the window. When the window fell, she threw a small stone at the other party.
It seemed as if nothing had happened, everything was back to its original state.
Aunt Lian felt that she could move, and she held back the sound she almost shouted, and her whole body became soft and she fell directly onto the bed.
She must have dreamed, but as soon as her hand moved, she found something in her hand...
Those who can survive in the backyard of Mo's family can still survive something. After using some effort, they can calm themselves down and carefully unfold the paper in their hands.
What else can others harm her if she has nothing to do? Thinking of this, the courage scored a few more points.
He took the letter and approached the candlelight, looked at it one by one, and his face changed, which was even more exciting than before. Finally, he took the letter and approached the candlelight and burned it clean.
No matter who this person is, she only knows that her son's opportunity has come, and her opportunity has come, and no matter what the purpose of this person is, just by the word Cheng Ji that is out of the paper, she can be sure that the enemy of the enemy is a friend who can cooperate with.
Aunt Lian moved to the dressing table, looked at herself in the bronze mirror, raised her hand and touched her cheek. Madam, I have already reached this field, so I have to try it out.
The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and under the night sky, there are many different families.
There are quiet, and there are naturally lively.
At this time, the lanterns of the priest's mansion was brightly lit, and the new mansion wanted to warm the mansion, so for three consecutive days, the candlelight was not extinguished until dawn. In addition, tomorrow it will be the priest's banquet, and the mansion was busy.
Some guests from far away also arrived one after another, and there were naturally many relatives from Huai'an, including the family and Nie Mu's grandfather's family. For the Nie family, this was a great joy to glorify the ancestors, and the Nie family naturally wanted all relatives and friends to know about it.
This top scholar banquet is even more lively.
However, among the guests, there are those that are popular, and naturally, some are disliked.
For example... Nie Mu's mother's family, a dozen of them came from this family, and they arrived when the city gate was locked. They had never stopped since the mansion. The old lady's face had changed and changed.
"In-laws, such a big top scholar's mansion, I let Chunling stay for a while and serve her aunt's long-term experience, why can't she stay?"
What's wrong with this is Nie Mu's aunt and Mrs. Nie's sister Cao.
Nie Mu's grandmother, Old Lady Chen, kept winking at the side, but Cao thought he didn't see it, and thought to himself, "How can you tell me about this kind of thing without eyesight?" He said, "At least, wait two days before speaking."
Old Mrs. Nie sneered in her heart. She knew very well what the family had to do. From entering the door, her mother-in-law would arrange to see her nephew. When Mu'er came, the girl in the Cao family was afraid that she would stick it up. What's the thing?
However, the most annoying thing is that her daughter-in-law, who can't help her, lost her temper as soon as she saw her. She told her well before, this is Kyoto, and Mu'er has just been appointed as an official. Some people should not be invited to the mansion for the time being. Now, she is here without invitation, and she, the hostess, has no temper at all.
"Girl, don't you like Chunlan the most on weekdays? You're just saying that from now on, you are also the official wife. Why can't you take Lan'er to see the world more often?"
I have to say that this Cao family is really shameless.
"This... sister, let's talk about this later. We have just arrived in Kyoto and haven't yet settled down."
Old Mrs. Nie had a life-threatening look before, but it seemed that it was useful. No matter how soft Mrs. Nie was in front of her mother's family, her son's future was still important.
I also know that my son is the top scholar now and is a sixth-rank official from the emperor. There must be some special considerations in marrying a wife in the future. Even the master will not agree to Chunlan, the girl...
In addition, when the old lady said that, she also felt that Chunlan was not worthy of her son.
I heard that Tanhualang has married the Mo family’s daughter, and her son is the top scholar, and he will definitely marry the official lady in the future.
"Mom, look, I'll just say that now is not as good as before. Our family members are not as beautiful as before." Cao spread his hands and started to adjust his posture.
Old Mrs. Chen also felt a little shameless. The eldest daughter was too anxious, but the young man was too inhumane. She was not as fat as outsiders. What she said before, but now she has become the mother of the top scholar, and she is showing off her power?
Just thinking about ignoring your parents' home?
"Don't talk nonsense, is your girl such a person? She is Chunlan's aunt, how can she not love Chunlan? Don't be careless about this. Tomorrow, it will be the top scholar banquet. The mansion will definitely be busy, it's not too early. We are guests, so we can't disturb the host's closeness."
Retreat as advance, and people have arrived, are you still afraid that you can't stay?
This old lady Chen is so smarter.
