Chapter 103 The Way of Giving Gifts of Iron Rooster
Sandalwood and Ruxiang went back to Marquis Wuding's mansion together. Shangguanjing sent them back together on the pretext of giving Shangguanyuan a birthday gift. The two set off in the afternoon, but they didn't come back until late at night.

When she came back, Sandalwood was holding a box wrapped in brocade furoshiki in her hand, while Ruexiang was holding long and short brocade boxes and wooden boxes in her hand.

"Why is it so late." When the two maids got off the carriage, the guard on duty at night didn't know whether it was intentional or not, so he said casually: "Isn't it just to go back and deliver something! Why did it take so long? If it was later, it would be dark It's all over."

"I'm sorry for the trouble." Yun Xiang immediately apologized: "Mrs. Hou heard that Master Jiu was ill, and she was very worried, so she hurriedly read the medicinal materials and asked the servants to bring them back. Although our majestic palace is indeed There is no shortage of these medicinal materials, but it is also the wish of Mrs. Wu Dinghou."

As Rue Xiang spoke, she consciously opened the top few boxes and showed them to the guards, and they were indeed full of medicinal materials.They are all the master's belongings, so the guards certainly didn't check them one by one. They stretched out their heads to take a look, and nodded perfunctorily.

Holding their things, the two went back to Shangguanjing's small courtyard one after the other, and filled the table with the things they brought back.

"Why did you bring so many things back?" Shangguan Jing asked curiously, "What are they all?"

"Medical materials." Sandalwood replied, and took out a thick letter from his close-fitting skirt and handed it to Shangguan Jing: "It took some time for Madam to write a letter to Miss, so I specially selected some medicinal materials carefully." Let the servants bring it back. If someone asks, they will say that it was a delay in choosing the medicinal materials."

"Mother is too careful." Shangguanjing replied, looking at the sealed envelope with wax: "I am not in prison here. Isn't it normal for a married woman to send her maid back to her mother's house! I have already gone back to Aunt Yun , even if it’s delayed, it’s not a big deal.”

"That's the way it is," Yun Xiang replied, "But Madam knows that it's not easy for Miss to be here, so she always wants to save Miss some trouble. These medicinal materials are also useful, some of them are for my uncle's health, and the rest The ones below are carefully selected by Madam, and sent to Concubine Lin along with the gift, and they are all excellent medicinal materials for regulating qi and blood, Concubine Lin can use them after giving birth."

"Her?" Shangguan Jing shook her head, "I'm afraid she won't take the medicine I gave you?"

"Whether to eat or not is her business." Sandalwood smiled: "But whether to give it away or not is the young lady's business."

"Oh!" Shangguan Jing nodded, trying to act like an obedient little girl in front of Sandalwood: "Since it is mother's intention, I will send it to you then! After you brought the words, what did mother say?" ?”

"Madam praised Miss for doing a good job." Sandalwood replied with a smile: "Madam said that no matter what, as long as you are not sure, you can send someone home to ask her for advice, no matter how small it is. It doesn't matter. You should have asked Madam about the matter first, why would Madam think Miss is troublesome?"

"That's good." Shangguan Jing blushed a little, looking very happy after being praised.

"What to do, madam has written it in the letter." Yunxiang pointed to the envelope in Shangguan Jing's hand: "Madam told me that this letter must be burned immediately after reading it, and you must not keep it. Everything will be read by the miss." Let’s talk again.”

Shangguanjing asked Tan Xiang and the others to take back two sentences, one is that the family is spreading rumors that the father intends to invite the eldest son Xiao Jingyan to be crowned heir.Concubine Xu's natal family came yesterday.The second is that there is no news about Concubine Zhao Shu and the seventh child Xiao Jingyue so far, and no one in the mansion mentions this matter again.Mr. Feng reminded her that although Xiao Jingyue was the one who pushed Jingheng into the water, there might be someone else behind him.

Mrs. Wu Dinghou's reply letter is very long, it seems that she has already asked Tan Xiang and Yun Xiang carefully about what happened in the mansion recently, everything is in detail.In the letter, she came to the same conclusion as Mr. Feng, that Concubine Xu wanted to attack Concubine Chen.

Then, something happened to refresh Shangguan Jing's cognition.This time, she knew why Mr. Feng emphasized that "one size fits one size"!Zhai Dou masters obviously value cooperation, but their contract deadlines are obviously also very strict.The cooperation is not over yet, Mrs. Wu Dinghou is already preparing to poach the corner of Concubine Xu.

Before Shangguanjing asked, Mrs. Wu Dinghou had already taught her in the letter how to use Concubine Lin to save Concubine Chen's life.

"But...why?" Shangguanjing raised her head and looked at Sandalwood with a very dissatisfied look: "It was Concubine Chen who wanted to harm me, and my mother clearly said that she would avenge me."

"Miss asked this, Madam will be sad." Sandalwood immediately replied in a warm voice: "Miss should be clear, everything Madam has done is for you. Madam think about it, if a person dies once and for all, wouldn't it be better for her? She cheated our young lady like this, Madam wants her to suffer it alive and atone for her sin."

"Really?" Shangguan Jing's almond eyes were full of confusion: "Is that what mother said?"

"Naturally." Sandalwood nodded with a smile: "How dare a servant lie to Miss. Miss just needs to follow Madam's instructions to visit Concubine Lin, and Madam will take care of everything else for you."

"Then..." Shangguanjing pursed his lips, with a somewhat reluctant look: "I will listen to my mother."

"That's right." Sandalwood was obviously very satisfied with Shangguan Jing's attitude: "There is also the matter of Concubine Zhao Shu, don't be afraid, Miss. You can rest assured that Master Hou and Madam are here for everything."

Ha ha... Shangguan Jing was cute on the surface, but curled her lips inwardly.Mrs. Wu Dinghou paved the way early enough!Still under the banner of saying that it is for the good of your daughter? !How dare I say it!She said it as if she had no intention of using her daughter and son-in-law as puppets.

But... At this stage, the interests are the same, so forget it.

"Li, Madam has already prepared everything for Miss." Sandalwood opened the brocade package she brought back: "Madam said, Miss, don't worry, wait until there is any movement from Concubine Xu. Madam will arrange everything." stop."

Inside the package was an exquisite sandalwood brocade box. Shangguan Jing opened the brocade box. Inside the box was a set of red gold inlaid emerald wreaths, and a whole set of gold rings, golden bells, and longevity locks. Although they were made small and cute, they were extremely delicate.

Hiss... Shangguan Jing, who was saving money, saw a pain in his heart. If these were exchanged for silver, they would be enough to feed a large family for several years, right?

"Madam said that this style can be used by both men and women." Tan Xiang said: "Such exquisite wreaths and longevity locks, it is difficult to find a few pairs in Zhou Dynasty. Concubine Lin will definitely not dislike them."

"Who would hate such a gift!" Shangguan Jing murmured.

"And this." Sandalwood opened another brocade box...

　——Here is the dividing line of the iron cock——
　　Don't doubt it, you Xiao Jingjing are the most petty.Every time she was reluctant to take money for a gift, she used the excuse that she didn't have any good things, and reached out to ask for it at home.
