Yuan Fu Nushu

Chapter 479, Changing Things
As soon as this was over, everyone was packing things in the room and preparing to send them back to Beijing. Tang Jin was also busy. There was a light knock on the window, and Tang Li poked his head out furtively: "Shh, shhh."

"I'm busy, so I need to speak up."

"I have antiques, let's exchange jewelry with you."

Tang Jin sounded strange: "Antiques are more valuable than jewelry, right?"

"I don't want to give my father more, just keep one. Otherwise, when he is happy, he will write a few letters home for me. Antiques can't be named to my mother. Most of them are enjoyed by my father. I can exchange them for jewelry and give them to my mother." To sister."

Tang Jin almost didn't laugh: "It's good, but I got some jewelry, I just want to give it to my sister."

"You give it to me first, and when I go back to Beijing, I will ask my mother and sister to exchange it for you. Mother and sister will give it to me."

Tang Jin traded jewelry for antiques. Before Tang Lizhuo left, he asked him for a favor: "I was watched by the gentlemen, so I had to go to antique shops. They all thought they had good eyesight and rushed to help me find out." Antiques, in fact, just to please my father. I still have some more, so I don’t want to exchange them wantonly. Please help me to ask who still has jewelry and who is willing to exchange it. I get along well with everyone and they won't stop me."

"Brother Naojie and Second Sister Gao have the most, let me ask for you."

Tang Li went back to his room. Tang came in to see He Jie. He Jie was dividing things: "One piece for grandfather, one piece for me, one piece for eight seedlings, one piece for eldest sister, and one piece for second sister."

Damiao waited for her sister to decline and said no, Tang Jin came, and He Jie said: "There is such a good thing, I will help you call Second Sister Gao, you can ask other people, I see how many of them are in everyone's hands. "

A while later, He Jie and Gao Xiang came to see Tang Li. The eight girls behind He Jie held the jewelry box, and Gao Xiang carried it by himself.

Tang Li pretended: "Father would like antiques, I can't change them."

He Jie said: "Have you forgotten your mother and sister Yongyi?"

Gao Xiang said: "There are three kinds of unfilial piety, and forgetting is the greatest."

Then Luan Ying and the others came in together: "We take what we can see lightly, and the ones that dare to love the prince are the good ones. Hurry up and change them, and let's equalize."

Speaking of average, only one antique was left behind, and the rest were taken away, leaving a few boxes of jewellery. Tang Li was very happy, but said: "This is good, this is good."

The gentlemen were helpless at the side, and comforted: "If you don't come with the Duke, where can you find these things? This jewelry is not bad, and some gemstones and jade walls are also old, so they can be regarded as antiques."

Tang Li was very happy, no matter how antique the jewelry was, he could only give it to his mother and sister.

He Jie went back to his room, happy in his heart: "Grandfather, sisters, let's share the antiques." He gave one to Damiao: "Sister, keep it, this is more than a hundred cows."

Damiao girl was startled: "Is it so expensive?" "Of course, the one in my hand is more expensive. This one is for my grandfather. This one is worth about a hundred horses, and it's for sister Ermiao."

The girls refused to accept it, and couldn't refuse it, so please He Jie to keep it first and keep an account book.

Brother Jie was having fun when Tang Jin came again: "Put away the antiques, if Brother Li regrets returning to Beijing, return him a few pieces so that he won't cry."

He Jie pouted: "Why, I'm busy. This is my hard-earned money, so I won't pay it back."

He Feng looked at his grandson and just smiled. The He family is considered a rich man in Sanbao County now, but He Feng also doesn't recognize many antiques.

Brother Jie recognized it because he had seen good things since he was a child.

When Tang went in and out, He Feng advised his grandson: "It's not good to take advantage of the prince, so return it when you return to Beijing." He Jie cried with a sad face: "Grandfather, if you don't let me see it, that's all. This one is one-third of the value of all the jewelry I get. I can't bear it."

These words startled the sisters, and they dared not touch them again.

Gao Xiang came in, also frustrated: "Brother Jie, come and come up with an idea together, Jin Shizi said that he would return it after returning to Beijing, but if you don't let me see it, that's all. Look at the Warring States Jade in my hand. The pattern is used by the princes, and if I give it away, my heart will be gone."

The two came up with an idea, and He Jie scolded his sister: "It's all your fault for stealing jewelry, so I followed suit. Otherwise, wouldn't it be good for me to bring back a few boxes of antiques?"

Hachimiao is innocent, and wants to say that Brother Jie still has a few boxes that are not jewelry, so don't be sad.If you don't get in the words, let it go.

Broken mouth and long-winded spirit can have any good ideas, and finally decided to renege on the debt, and refused to admit that they had changed things after returning to Beijing.

Luan Ying and Yunlong were together with Duke Hu, and Luan Ying asked for advice: "Grandfather, the Pingxi County Prince's Mansion let us take away things that are priceless, why didn't he use the money to build and strengthen the border town?"

"How do you build and reinforce it? All of them are brand new. That's not necessary. The city walls will be damaged after years of war. And you have heard me say that the supplies to the Northwest from the Ministry of War are not rich, and the Ministry of Industry also gives money. Contribute. In such a large place, no matter whether the city is damaged or beautiful, there is no shortage of weapons, food and grass. If you point out that some villages are poor, there is no serious lack of salt and weapons. Iron is controlled in the interior, but here is a village. Equipment. There are heavy killings here in the northwest, but there are no rumors of starvation."

Luan Ying bowed: "Yes, I understand."

The items were delivered to various households in the capital. Ding and Yongyi held back their laughter. King Jincheng picked up the gift list and looked at it: "Oh, give me this one, and the rest."

From the second item onwards, the gift list is named after the things to the mother, and it is listed in a long list, all of which are written to the sister.

King Jincheng probably didn't see what his son was thinking, and he wasn't obviously dissatisfied. He took the things back to the study and showed off to the gentlemen. Yuan Hui sent another letter, and Tang Li wrote the reason in the letter to Yuan Hui.

"I had an idea, I was clever, and I traded with the big guys. Uncle Jin said that I suffered too much, and I would trade them back with me after returning to Beijing. I thought, if I give my mother and sister a lot of things, I will not suffer. I said no need to change it. There is no need to change it back, I don’t have to say no. The second girl from the Gao family and brother Naojie were about to cry. I walked behind them. They stood under the flower branches, pretending not to see me, and shouted Say it can't be exchanged, otherwise the two of them will lose their hearts."

Ding smiled and said: "No need to change, what to change, this is already a lot of affection, Yongyi, you take the jewelry to see the princess, and ask her to keep it first. Your father took one away in a hurry, in fact, his The document should also be shown to the princess first."

Yongyi said: "Since my younger brother, the son of the prince of the county, came out of Beijing, my father came up in a hurry. Forget it, your aunt and grandma are not people who care about things, so I will just take the jewelry. Besides, please keep the aunt in Duke Hu's mansion. Give Sister Hui some more."

Yongyi came back half a day later, and there was nothing missing. Princess Yuanxiu gave some of the things Yunlong got.
