The blessing of the Qing Dynasty is difficult to pass

Chapter 170 Honor Ma Jiashi

Ever since there were five boxes of heavy and shiny gold in her private treasury, Yi Rao felt that the whole world was much better, her walking became stronger, her appetite increased, and everyone thought she was cute!

On this day, Ma Jiashi came to the door again, this time she did not come alone, she also brought Guan Zhu along, Yirao went to Henan for more than two months, her son traveled thousands of miles and mother was worried, Ma Jiashi missed her very much.

Yi Rao hadn't seen Guan Zhu for a long time, and seeing him at this moment, she was very happy. She took his hand and asked him, how did he eat, how did he dress, how did he do his homework, riding and archery? He loves Guan Zhu no less than Ma Jiashi.Guan Zhu is 11 years old this year, he is a shy boy, he doesn't talk much, he looks quiet and gentle, when Yi Rao took his hand, he even blushed, which made Yi Rao laugh.

After finishing the gossip, Ma Jia asked Madam Zhang to lead Guan Zhu around the mansion. She wanted to talk to Yi Rao, "Can you use the prescription I gave you last time?" They all hoped that Yi Rao would give birth to a son-in-law as soon as possible.

"Use it." Yi Rao nodded, in fact, Fang Zi was locked in the small box on the dressing table by her, and she never took it out once.

Ma Jiashi was relieved when he heard the words, and asked again, "Is your food separated from that of other people in the mansion?"

"No, there are so many chores, I haven't had time yet."

"It's an urgent matter, and it's not a big deal. Just give me an order and it will be done." Ma Jiashi wanted to call Huahua when he said that, isn't it just to set up a small kitchen in the main courtyard? If you explain it, it will be done in one afternoon .

Yi Rao quickly stopped her, and advised, "Emiang, it's rare to come here, don't worry about this kind of thing, let's talk about something else."

"What did you say?" Ma Jia was puzzled, and Yi Rao smiled when she saw this, and told her about the five boxes of gold. After hearing this, Ma Jia was stunned for a long time before returning to her senses, "I God, Erniang is so old, and she has never seen so much gold!" Ma Jia clapped her hands on her chest and took deep breaths, it was so shocking!

Yi Rao felt a little sad when he heard this. Malhan has been promoted in the past few years, and more people have given gifts to Zhaojia Mansion. Malhan is quite straightforward, except for the three festivals and two birthdays every year, and ice charcoal filial piety, he hardly accepts gifts, so The income of the government has not increased much compared to before.In addition, in the past few years, she and Yilan Yijing have been out of the cabinet one after another, and the expenses are very high, so the Zhaojia Mansion is still considered poor. Compared with the rich people in the capital, the Zhaojia Mansion is still struggling on the line of food and clothing.

Thinking of what Ma Jiashi has done for her and Guan Zhu over the years, Yi Rao's eyes suddenly turned red, "Er Niang, you raised me, it was too hard, now that I have money, I should respect you, honor you " said Yi Rao and dragged Ma Jiashi to the private treasury.

Ma Jiashi hurriedly waved her hands, how could she ask for Yirao's money, besides, it's not that the mansion can't get rid of it, it's just that it's not luxurious. Yes, put it away carefully, when you need money later."

"Er Niang knows me, I don't spend money, I don't buy things."

"If you don't buy things, you can put them away. You may need them later, and Erniang has no shortage of them." Ma Jiashi resolutely refused.

"Er Niang, Guan Zhu is getting older, it's time to kiss, I gave it to him, for him to marry." Yi Rao changed the phrase, she knew that Ma Jia had left the best to her, Guan Zhu When getting married, the betrothal gift sent out must be relatively simple compared with other families. It was fine if you didn’t have money before, but now you have money, of course you have to use it.

Regardless of Ma Jiashi's refusal, Yi Rao insisted on giving her 3000 taels of gold. Guan Zhu was her only younger brother, so getting married couldn't be more shabby.

When Yinxiang came back in the evening, Yirao told him about it. Yinxiang just said "oh" and didn't say anything else. Since he gave Yirao the gold, Yirao can spend it as he pleases, he doesn't mind.

Seeing this, Yi Rao talked about setting up a separate small kitchen in the main courtyard, and Yin Xiang nodded in agreement. He knew about the idea in the back yard, but there was no guarantee that the three women in the back yard would not attack Yi Rao. In a messy place with people coming and going, it's better to have a small kitchen.

After talking about this matter, Yi Rao asked about the elder brother again. Yinxiang heard the words and said, "I suggested to refuse directly, but the fourth brother agreed." In fact, Yinzhen is a very affectionate person, and it is cold outside , but the heart is a fire.

"Ah? Isn't that bad?"

"The fourth brother paid up the taxes of those two Zhuangzis, but Huang Ama didn't know about it." Yinxiang explained.

"So that's how it is." Yi Rao suddenly realized.

"By the way, Xiumu the day after tomorrow, let's go to Fourth Brother's Mansion for a sit-down. It's been a few months since you left the palace, and you haven't visited Sibeile's Mansion yet. I've already made an agreement with Fourth Brother."

"Okay, what gift do you have?"

"Whatever you want, Fourth Brother doesn't care about this."

Yinzhen didn't care, but Yirao did. After thinking about it, she prepared a good set of the Four Treasures of the Study, which was given to Honghui, and she took the satin that the Empress Dowager rewarded her a few days ago, which was given to Wanning. , As for Yinzhen, it was a suet jade snuff bottle. Yinzhen likes to play with snuff bottles, but she bought this suet jade snuff bottle for hundreds of taels of silver.

There were not many gifts, but they were carefully prepared. On the day of Xiumu, Yiluo and Yinxiang took a carriage to Sibeile Mansion together.Seeing that what Yirao gave Yinzhen was a suet jade snuff bottle, Yinxiang couldn't help but said sourly, "You are really willing to give it away." Although the four treasures of the study and satin are good, they are not as good as this suet jade together. Yinxiang felt that his feelings were correct for the small amount of the snuff bottle, and Yirao was very special to Yinzhen.

Unaware of the jealousy in Yin Xiang's words, Yi Rao said in surprise, "Fourth brother, he will give it to you, take care of the business, not take more from you, but let you in. This kind of heart is very precious, what is a mere snuff bottle?" ?" One sentence suppressed Yinxiang's stomach full of sour water,
Yinxiang rolled his eyes secretly, muttered a few words in his heart, and didn't pick up this topic again.

Arriving at Sibeile Mansion, Yi Rao was warmly welcomed by Wanning, "Rare guest, it's rare for you to go out, come in and sit." As for Yinxiang, he came almost every day, and Wanning has long regarded him as her family.

Hong Hui was also at home, he took Yi Rao's hand and acted coquettishly, "Auntie, I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you. I heard that you and Uncle Shisan went to Henan, what special products did you bring back?"

Upon hearing this, Yi Rao bent down and tapped his forehead, and said with a smile, "Do you miss me, or special products?"

"Think about it!" Hong Hui replied loudly, causing several people present to laugh.

"Your mouth is sweet. Here, take it." Yi Rao took the Four Treasures of the Study from Hong Hong and handed it to Hong Hui. She was joking.After handing the gift to Hong Hui, Yi Rao gave them the gift prepared for Wan Ning and Yin Zhen.

Wanning scolded, "It's rare to come here, what kind of gift are you getting?"
