Yuan Fu Nushu

Chapter 294, Situation

The princess casually looked at the thank you gifts, left one, and let Yuanxiu take the rest. As for Yuanxiu helping the princess of Jincheng County without authorization, she smiled and said: "You are the head of the Duke Huguo's mansion. Since you are the head of the house, there are some things Don't ask me."

Yuan Xiu replied one more thing: "I heard that Cousin Jing'an took care of the family in Prince Su's mansion. She is still young, and she will have to study for a few more years. Only when she understands the truth can she be truly smooth."

"This is your idea, you tell her, and let her and sister Hui go to school together, and play truant together." The princess couldn't help laughing when she said this: "what is sister Hui doing?"

"Playing with Yong Yi and the others." Yuan Xiu also laughed.

The princess smiled and said: "Sister Hui's going to school is a business, and this truancy can also be a business." Called the girl: "Bring the fruit and snacks, and Mrs. Shizi will bring them when she passes the house."

Yuan Xiu asked about family matters again, and left with a gift of thanks and snacks.

The eldest princess was looking at the chrysanthemums just now, now she moved to the corridor, and continued to look at the chrysanthemums in the courtyard and Xifeng in a daze. She was accompanied by a white-haired old mother, who was brought by the princess when she was married. Don't work as a errand, chat with the princess every day, and take care of her.

She pursed her lips and said, "Mrs. Shizi has the same character as a princess in her past."

The princess smiled and said: "I was back then? I'm afraid I'm not as good as her." She sighed: "Father was still alive back then."

She is still a coquettish and willful little princess, angry with the first emperor because her fiancé-in-law is not handsome enough.

The Baitou palace chattered: "Young people today don't pay attention to prudence in doing things. This is brought out by the late emperor's misconduct. Young couples have troubles. The concubine interferes in the affairs of the palace. Only by suing the imperial court can we get it back, and this still requires my family’s wife to bring someone to help, otherwise the imperial court is also a confession, and closing the house after returning home is exactly the same as not filing a complaint. Today’s young people, it’s all because of the late emperor’s wrongdoing side caused, "

The princess listened with a smile, and continued admiring her chrysanthemums.

The autumn sun in the afternoon shines into the shop, first passes by the second floor, and then enters the shop obliquely. He Ning sits behind the desk on the second floor, concentrating on calculating the accounts. It's good but it's expensive, He Ning just listened to it and passed it.

Most of the shops have rare goods to live in, but there are not many goods. He can only adopt this method. When other shops want to increase business, He Ning just wants to let the goods in the shop be dragged to the next batch of goods to Beijing.

When he felt cold, he looked at the sky, and the evening would come at any time. He packed up his pen and ink and went downstairs, saying to He Xiaoji, "I want a table of food at the restaurant. The two bosses must be playing crazy. If you don't come back at noon, I'm afraid Let’s keep dinner at night, everyone who knows how to cook will follow, let’s eat better at night.”

He Xiaoji strongly objected: "We all know how to cook, and restaurants are too expensive." Mao then recommended himself: "I'll cook dinner."

Another guy, He Shitou, came back to the kitchen while they were talking: "Sister Zaohua left steamed buns, meat buns, and pickles in the jar. I know that, I will steam them, and make a big pot of tea. There will be dinner soon." gone."

Steamed buns, meat buns, pickles?This is my dinner, and Yanyan and Lvzhu must have a good meal at Sister Xiu's place.

Just as He Ning was about to object, Qi Jun said: "Sister Xiu stayed for dinner, why don't you invite Brother Ning? I think the bosses will come back for dinner."

As soon as the words were finished, Yanyan and Lvzhu arrived at the door by car, and came out with a car of furs from the Duke Huguo's mansion to let the guys unload the goods. Jujube hops, including Zhang's mother, went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

He Ning joked: "I thought you were eating noodles behind our backs, but I was just saying that I would also ask for a table of noodles at the restaurant, and we also became lively."

The Green Bamboo God beckoned mysteriously: "Follow me." Taking He Ning to the wing room, he solemnly took out a thing wrapped in a handkerchief from his bosom, opened it and brought it to He Ning: "You Guess what this value is?"

He Ning received it in his hand, it looked like a big ruby ​​and beaded tassel, no more than three inches long, at the lower end of the tassel were three pearls the size of soybeans, what was rare was that the size was almost the same, the color was almost the same, and the upper end of the tassel was inlaid with five pearls. A ruby ​​the size of a fingernail, He Ning compares his man's big hands, all of them are the size of his thumb.

He Ning said in admiration: "I can't estimate this. It must be 800 taels. This is what sister Xiu gave you? This is not good. She has not been in the family for a long time, and it is not good to give such a valuable thing."

Lu Zhu only doubted He Ning's valuation: "Impossible, this is a thank you gift from Jincheng County Prince's Mansion to Sister Xiu, and Sister Xiu said that I also helped, although it was a waste of help and made the county owner suffer, but It ended well in the end. Give me one and give Yanyan one too, it’s not taking things from Duke Huguo’s mansion to give away without authorization.”

He Ning hesitated: "Something from the county prince's mansion? Then this gem is real."

Lu Zhu glared at him, He Ning became more and more impatient, and took Lu Zhu's handkerchief: "There is a jewelry store on the street, the door is still open, wait for me to ask him for advice."

It's a good thing for Green Bamboo, let Yanyan take out what she got is also a ruby ​​jewelry, and He Ning wraps it up together, and when Zaohua invites you to have dinner, He Ning comes back without dinner, and beckons Yanyan and Green Bamboo to the east wing.

He closed the door, and taught the two of them a lesson first: "How can you just pack such a thing in a handkerchief, waste everything, it's a waste! If you don't understand, don't buy such a good thing."

Yanyan and Lvzhu were about to turn their faces, He Ningdu laughed: "This is said by Mr. Chen of the jewelry store. He taught me a lesson. I think I was wronged. This is not aimed at me. I came back to tell the two If you are a master, I dare not hide anything, who told you that you are masters?"

Send the two brocade boxes in the sleeve: "For the sake of the foam he said, I have to buy two boxes and spend a few taels of silver to stop his mouth."

Yanyan and Luzhu asked anxiously, "What price do you estimate?"

He Ning sneakily looked at the door first and then under the chair, making the green bamboo so anxious that gold stars burst out in front of his eyes, He Ning patted the tassel of the green bamboo again: "He said this is 2 taels, he will buy it now." He tapped Yan Yande's jewelry with his fingers: "He said that this piece is worth about [-] to [-] at most, which is cheaper than the green bamboo piece, but he held the iron so tightly that he almost didn't want to return it to me. From my point of view, the price is worth it." I can lift some."

"So expensive?"

After Yanyan and Lu Zhu blurted out their words, they tried to calm down again: "It's true, sister Xiu's honor is never cheap, and this is the honor of sister Xiu."

He Ning said softly: "Put it away, this thing can be passed down to the family."

Yanyan and Lvzhu put away their respective items, the two of them were in a trance after dinner, and after dinner they also changed the pattern of talking the night before, saying that they were tired and went to bed early.

He Ning went to the store to study, and Lu Zhu was tossing and turning alone on the big bed.

[-] pieces of jewelry, ordinary people dare not even dream about it, if this belongs to sister Xiu, Luzhu will not be surprised, but this jewelry is his own [-] pieces of jewelry, it should be emotional, but there is still something in his heart. There are indescribable meanings such as sour, astringent, and bitter. Why?
In front of him, poor relatives appeared involuntarily, and a thought came to Luzhu's mind. Is the situation between people so bad?
