Exquisite ingenuity

Chapter 130 Surprised
Needless to say, the Song family was happy, but on the Zhao family side, Mrs. Wu took her daughter to ask a few questions, and Zhao Jinyi answered them impeccably.

Seeing that her daughter didn't appear to be in a daze, Wu shi reassured and said: "I thought you agreed to the marriage because it was Erlang of the Ning family who was betrothed to someone else."

Ning Yong?It was only then that Zhao Jinyi remembered Ning Yong's engagement to someone else.

She originally wanted to ask Ning Yong why he broke the contract, but now that she is engaged, it is not easy to ask again.

That being the case, let the fate that ended before it started disappear.She, Zhao Jinyi, can't marry Ning Yong, but when Qiu Wei releases the list, she can't find a son-in-law under the list and find a better man than him?
Zhao Jinyi smiled sweetly: "My daughter is unfilial, and I am worried about it."

Wu was completely at ease, holding a thin booklet and said with a smile: "Although the Song family's background is not strong, they have treated you with care. The scene of the Song family is much more grand than going back to the Shi family last time." There are many. Look, there are brochures. Come and see, there are many things for you."

Sure enough, Song Jingxing had planned it long ago.Zhao Jinyi thought.He just said yesterday that he would propose a marriage, but this morning the gift was prepared in such a complete manner, hateful, hateful, she couldn't see it at all.That day at the tea house, she rode a big donkey with him, and he covered her with a cloak, so she couldn't see the outside, so it was inevitable that he would not do some small tricks...

In the future, let's see how she handles him so that he can obediently withdraw from this marriage.

But the things in the brochure really won Zhao Jinyi's heart.

Although they are all small objects, they are really exquisite.The most important thing is that things made of wood should not be worth much.

Zhao Jinyi picked up a wooden comb and couldn't help but praise: "Not bad."

More than good?Even Mrs. Wu praised: "Jing Xing has a heart."

It is said that the mother-in-law looks at her future son-in-law, and the more she looks at her, the more she likes her. Wu Shi is a living example.Although it was a sudden marriage, Song Jingxing was not her favorite son-in-law, but whoever would not like it.

Mrs. Wu picked up a delicate scratcher and said with a smile, "Your future son-in-law is really considerate."

Wooden combs, mirrors, scratches, pen holders, paperweights, small sticks...Although they are all made of wood, they are so exquisitely made that people like it at first glance.

There was also a larger wooden box. When I opened it, it turned out that there was a set of cushions laid out in the carriage.The cushions are soft and thick, the stitches are fine and the materials are of the best quality.

Wu was a little confused: "Why did Jing Xing send this?"

Zhao Jinyi, however, remembered what she said casually yesterday when she was riding in the carriage hired by Song Jingxing, and hurriedly gathered the cushions, and said with a smile: "It seems that I often ride in the carriage, so I sent it specially."

He said so in his mouth, but in his heart he said, Song Jingxing is really a grudge.She just said something casually, and he gave her a cushion. Why didn't he give her a carriage?

Wu didn't understand the reason, just smiled and opened another wooden box.

But seeing that there were several small wooden boxes packed with gold tin in the wooden box, Mrs. Wu picked up one of them, opened it, and jumped suddenly: "Yi'er, come and see it!"

But in the wooden box, there is a set of red coral head masks.

Wu thought about it, opened another wooden box, drink!Inside was a pair of fine jade bracelets.

She carefully picked up the jade bracelet and asked Zhao Jinyi: "Is this supposed to be true?"

Zhao Jinyi looked at the jade bracelet and was speechless for a while.Song Jingxing, did you come for real?

The second room is opening the ceremony, the eldest room and the second room are waiting to see the joke.

What good gift can a small official with a craftsman background bring?Although the boxes brought by the Song family were not small and looked heavy, the servants who went to inquire came back and said that they were all wooden gadgets and were worthless.

Mrs. Huang said contemptuously: "Your second aunt is actually a doctor in a hurry. A small official with a craftsman background, but he has only been an official for a while, and dares to come to my Zhao family to propose marriage. His family background can only be imagined. Get some homemade baubles to top up."

Zhao Jinhua said cautiously: "If you think about it, the second aunt also doesn't want the fourth sister to enter the palace..."

Huang sneered: "What's wrong with entering the palace? It is raised with gold and jade. Once a dragon heir is born, it will be under one person and above ten thousand."

Auntie has lost her temper.The prince is nearly twenty, and the fourth younger sister gave birth to a dragon heir, but if the Tian family collapses, will the fourth younger sister's offspring grow up smoothly?Although their Zhao family is full of officials, they are really not very important in the capital... Any noble person can crush the Zhao family to death... But Zhao Jinhua dare not argue with A Niang.A Niang was extremely annoyed by the engagement of the fourth younger sister.

Mrs. Huang was still nagging: "I am doing this for their own good, but they don't know what is good. Among the girls in the Zhao family, Jin Yi is the smartest. The Tian family only chooses a concubine every twenty years. Such a rare opportunity." , to give up..."

Zhao Jinhua lowered his head, thinking about his own thoughts.She had also heard about the disputes between the elders in the Tai'an Courtyard, and she couldn't believe it.Split up?The Zhao family wants to split up?After the family was separated, did the brothers and sisters of the Zhao family live apart?After she left the cabinet, what happened to her husband's house? If her brother didn't live up to him, would the second and third bedrooms stand up for her?
She was at a loss.

It was only half a month before she came out of the cabinet, and her grandfather had a stroke.

She always felt that the Zhao family was a little restless these days.

Suddenly, a servant ran over panting: "Madam, the second room is here!"

The second room is here to give gifts.The Song family prepared very comprehensive gifts, the Zhao family has a large population, it is impossible for everyone to have a share, but the eldest and third families have to prepare generous gifts.

What Erfang sent over was a wooden box.

Huang didn't care at all: "Let's open it and have a look, what is it made of wood?"

Zhao Jinhua opened the box with his own hands.

Inside lay a lifelike jade koi.The jade koi carp is about half a foot long, the material is transparent, and it is worth a lot of money at first glance.

When Zhao Jinhua got engaged, the future son-in-law gave the other two wives two bolts of brocade, which was considered extremely respectable.

But this jade koi immediately compared the two brocades.

Mrs. Huang jumped up and stared at the jade koi: "This is impossible!"

When the gift from Erfang arrived, Mrs. Zhu was instructing his servants to deal with Aunt Miao's affairs.

Hearing that Erfang came to bring gifts, Mrs. Zhu and her daughter said with a smile: "I heard that Erfang dismantled a lot of things made of wood. I heard that Song Langzhong was a craftsman. He turned out to be a carpenter. In the future, the family will repair the house and make something. His nephew-in-law is also suitable."

Zhao Jinyun listened, and said: "It's okay, the Zhao family is not going to split up, I'm afraid the second aunt doesn't want to borrow her son-in-law to come here." The most fearful thing is that Zhao Jinyi remembers to hate her.

Mrs. Zhu said leisurely: "We hire craftsmen, it's not that we refuse to give money."

The maid presented the wooden box.

The wooden box is exquisitely made, and it is still made of tin.

When the Shi family hired them, they also prepared gifts for the other two families, which were a high-quality inkstone.

The Shi family is a scholarly family, so giving a good inkstone is already a very respectable thing.

When the first wife, Zhao Jinhua, got engaged, the future son-in-law gave the other two brides two bolts of brocade, which was pretty standard.

Song Jingxing was a craftsman, he didn't know many big characters, so how could he know inkstone?
Zhu said with a smile: "Let's open it and see, what is it made of wood?"

The box was opened by Zhao Jinyun himself.

Inside lay a lifelike jade koi.

Mrs. Zhu jumped up like Mrs. Huang, staring: "That's impossible! Then Mr. Song is just a craftsman, how could he be so skillful?"
