Shao family has a daughter

Chapter 11
Mrs. Shen showed a serious look, "I have to think of a way." The youngest daughter took it back and tidied up the list with great difficulty, and she must not let her work for nothing.The three of them, mother and son, muttered in the room for most of the day.

After a long while, Xianhui and Minghui went back to the house and came out after finding a pair of new boots that had just been made.

Minghui rolled up her boots and asked worriedly, "Wait a minute, are you really going alone?"

"Yeah." Xianhui knew that she was worried, so she smiled, "Don't worry, I'm just going to give daddy a pair of boots, not murder and set fire, and I'll be back in a while."

Minghui was right after thinking about it, she nodded and said: "Then be careful on the road, don't slip, and come back early."

"Understood." Xianhui smiled sweetly, wrapped her cloak, and walked away in the wind and snow.

Shao Yuanheng's business is very big, and he often communicates with officials and merchants outside. In order to avoid collision with the female relatives in the backyard, he separated the study room near the garden.Xianhui knew this place in her previous life, but at that time she was only concerned with fighting with her father and resenting with her mother, so she never came here, and this is the first time she has.

When you arrive at the Moon Cave Gate, you will find a water bridge with twists and turns, and at the end of the bridge is the study room.

Xianhui was holding her skirt and was about to go there when she saw the door of the study opened suddenly, her father came out from inside, followed by another young man in Jiang Shui blue robe, half a head taller than his father, I don't know who it was.

For some reason, looking at him from a distance, he felt that the person looked a little familiar, but how could this be possible?I don't know a foreigner at all, so I must be thinking too much.

Xianhui didn't have time to think about it, no matter what, she had to avoid it first to be serious.In her previous life, her reputation was ruined and her life was ruined. She was afraid of running into a strange man, so she immediately hid behind the hedge.

The voices talking over there were getting closer and closer, and when they reached the entrance of the Moon Cave, they stopped talking.

"These years..." Shao Yuanheng said: "The Shao family has always wanted to bring their business to the capital, but the matter is so important that they dare not venture into it easily, so they have not made proper arrangements these years. If someone can help introduce them, that would be great Thank you so much, thank you very much.”

"It's easy to do." A young man's voice sounded, clear and icy, like a thin slice of ice in winter, with a cool charm, "I will ask when I go to the capital in the spring of next year..."

Xian Hui was taken aback when she heard the sound, oh my god, isn't this voice just, just... that person?How could I meet him here? It's too coincidental.

She quietly glanced across the fence.

Sure enough, it was the noble young man I met in Xianzhi Town, about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a sea blue brocade robe with dark patterns, the wind and snow blowing, revealing a line of snow-white satin trousers.This person seems to only wear white underneath. Could it be that he is a bit of a clean freak?But it suits his cool and noble demeanor very well.

His complexion is as fair as jade, with sharp eyebrows and clear lines, especially a pair of pupils flickering slightly, like stars in the dark night, they are surprisingly good-looking.However, he has a demeanor that looks down on the world, his brilliance is brilliant, on the contrary, it is more dazzling than his appearance, and he seems not angry but majestic.

God!What is the identity of this person?
Judging from his father's tone, he is very respectful and polite to him, and he is probably a respectable person.

"When the time comes..." The young man seemed to have noticed it, his voice paused, and he turned his head to look at Huali, his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate everything, showing a compelling majesty.

Xian Hui was so frightened that her heart was beating wildly, she quickly lowered her head.

"Who is sneaking around behind?!" Shao Yuanheng scolded.

Xian Hui hurriedly responded: "Father, it's me! I came here to deliver something to you."

Shao Yuanheng was startled when he heard the sound, and then reprimanded: "Stay honest!" He turned his head and smiled, "The little girl is young and ignorant, she is mischievous, I will reprimand her properly later."

"Ling Ai?" The young man seemed slightly surprised, but he didn't ask further, "Since Ling Ai has something to do with you, let's talk about the matter just now. Anyway, there is no rush, and we will find time to discuss it later."

"Yes." Shao Yuanheng smiled and said, "This way please, this way please..."

The two of them were talking, and they gradually walked away and couldn't hear the sound.

Xianhui let out a long breath of relief.

After a while, Shao Yuanheng sent the guest back and shouted: "Xian Hui, is that you?"

Xianhui came out from behind the flower fence, pointed to the bundle on the girl's hand, and said with a smile, "My sister and I made a pair of shoes for dad, and we are thinking of sending them over in person, so we can take a stroll in the back garden and fold two plum blossoms back home. display."

Shao Yuanheng led her into the study, nodded and said: "Let's put it down, thank you for your hard work."

——Not very chatty.

Xianhui looked at her father's expression, obviously not in the mood to listen to her filial piety at the moment, so she said a few words of greetings, and then she left obediently, "Father, you are busy, I will go back first."

Shao Yuanheng didn't keep her, "Okay, let's go back."

He had been busy for half the morning, and he didn't close the ledger until someone came to urge him to eat lunch.When I was about to go out, I saw the new boots next to me, picked them up and tried them on.Hmm... It's just a good foot, and it's quite comfortable to walk in. The two daughters are really ingenious, and they are worthy of being born and raised by Mrs. Shen.

——Shen's needlework has always been outstanding.

Thinking of the bright and charming smile of the second daughter, as well as her cleverness, a bold idea suddenly occurred to her.

The kings of the four counties are outstanding, young and promising, and they are born in Tianhuang nobles, but they are not yet married.Thinking about it carefully, there are almost no young girls in Jiangducheng who can compare with their second daughter in terms of looks and intelligence.

Especially Xianhui's beauty is a bit brighter than Shen's when she was young and in her prime, it really shines on people.

If Xianhui can be the princess of the four counties, wouldn't it be stronger than borrowing the nepotism of the princess of the big county?You must know that the king of the four counties is the youngest son of Concubine Qing's concubine. If Xianhui can marry there, she will definitely not suffer a loss, and it will be of great benefit to the Shao family's business.

Wait...not right.

Neither the Rong family nor Princess Dajun would agree to this matter, they only wanted to match Tong Yun.

But these years, Tong Yun has often been in and out of Prince Qing's mansion, and Princess Qing has known her for a long time, but she has no intention of marrying back to be her daughter-in-law.I don't know where Tongyun went wrong?It didn't catch Princess Qing's blue eyes.

Maybe... let Xianhui marry to the governor's family?It's just that officials have no taboos than princes and relatives, and they pay attention to the right family. They rarely marry civilian women, and the Shao family is a little lower in the family.

But her own daughter is an outstanding character, and if she is not a clan wife, it is not too much to cling to a young daughter-in-law or something.

For Xianhui herself, Shao Yuanheng is still very confident.

On the other side, Xianhui is not too confident.

After all, it would cost you 3 to [-] taels of silver to make five pieces of jewelry for the people of the East Courtyard. Compared with the mother and daughter of the Rong family, would your father agree?To be honest, I really have no idea in my heart.

Since that day, I went to my father's study three times, once to give away a robe, once to give a hat, and once to give a few purses and jade pendants. people.

Naturally, this movement cannot be concealed from the Rong family.

After she found out, she laughed at Ruan's mother in the room: "Master, have you seen any good things? Why don't they make some shabby clothes, shoes and socks? Even if you give it back a hundred times, it won't work."

Ruan's mother echoed, "Yes, Madam, don't worry about it."

While talking, someone from outside brought over newly made jewelry.

Rong looked at her new pearl hairpin, and then at her daughter's. The gems are big and gorgeous, and the gold is yellow and clear, and she is very satisfied.Then glanced at the jewelry in the East Courtyard, and told the girl with a look of disdain, "Send it over, and remember to say a few pleasant words in front of the old lady."

The girl went away for a while, and came back again, with a timid look on her face.

Seeing that she was still holding the jewelry box in her hand, Mrs. Rong asked in surprise, "Why did you bring it back?" After a pause, he immediately realized that something went wrong in the East Courtyard, and couldn't help but feel prestige, "What do you mean? They don't want it." Returned?"

"Ma'am." The girl said with a bitter face: "As soon as the second lady heard that the jewelry had arrived, she went to get the list she copied, and compared it, she said that the amount of gold was not enough, and the size of the stone was not enough. It must be someone from the jewelry store." Made a mistake, blackened our family’s gold and good stones..."

"Presumptuous!" Rong was so furious that he thumped the table angrily, "I gave them money to make jewelry for their mother and daughter, yet you dare to pick and choose?" He spat several times, "Bah! What a shame. "

The girl wondered: "Then... what about these jewelry?"

Rong sneered, "Forget it, let me reward you later."

Ruan's mother persuaded: "Madam calm down, they don't want to be stupid, they suffer, and when they don't have jewelry to wear during the Chinese New Year, I can't blame my wife."

Rong snorted coldly, "You deserve it!"

A girl shouted outside: "Madam, the master is here."

Rong quickly put away her anger, changed her smiling face, and greeted her personally, "Master came back early today, isn't it the end of the year? If you want me to say, it's time to take a rest."

"En." Shao Yuanheng waved to the girls and servants as soon as he entered, "Go out."

"Master, what's the matter?" Rong asked with a smile.

Shao Yuanheng sat down in the grand teacher's chair, held hot tea, drank it, and asked, "I heard that something went wrong with the jewelry you made for the east courtyard? What's the matter?"

Rong's complexion suddenly changed, "Master, what does this mean? Ask the teacher to ask the crime?"
