Lord Shang Shu is easy to bend down

Chapter 51 Ethnology Debate 10

Xie Yuanniang smiled, thinking that she thought too much before making a fuss about everything.

But seeing that her cousin is so talented and never shows up, Xie Yuanniang felt a little unwilling. After thinking about her cousin's pale temperament, she finally didn't persuade him much.

"The day after tomorrow is the ethnological debate, and it will take half a month to end. My cousin has a lot of things to do, so don't worry about me." Speaking of this, Xie Yuanniang asked something that she had never asked in her previous life, "Why didn't my cousin participate?" Chunwei?"

"I'm used to being idle, and I don't like the intrigues in the officialdom." Kong Cheng laughed, "You're worried about me, so I really want to ask you, you're fifteen this year, and your father has an accident again, and it's time to discuss marriage. Age, have you thought about what kind of husband and son-in-law to find for yourself? Sister Hui has always followed the rules, so I don’t want to ask more about this, but I know that you have ideas and don’t care about those rules, so I have to ask you idea."

"Ask me what I think, but do you want to show me someone who is suitable?" Xie Yuanniang was a woman who had two sons in her previous life, so how could she blush when she asked about marriage, "I really don't think you need to be rich, as long as It’s enough to have a decent personality.”

Kong Cheng was even more shocked, "I wanted to persuade you a few words, don't just look at those honorable families, and don't want you to see it through yourself, then I can rest assured."

"My cousin loves me, I won't let my cousin worry about me." Xie Yuanniang said from the bottom of her heart.

Kong Cheng felt sorry for her more and more, "Your mother has problems with you, but after all, she is a mother and daughter, so she won't make things difficult for you. If you have something to do, you should go to your father."

Xie Yuanniang didn't want her cousin to see so clearly when she was far away, so she responded with a smile.

Kong Cheng sat down with another cup of tea. Outside, Jiu Yuan said that someone from the ethnology had come, so he got up and left.

After talking with her cousin for a while, the gloom in Xie Yuanniang's heart disappeared, and she became interested and asked Lingmei to bring the box of jewelry from her aunt, but she didn't go on stage to debate, and she always wanted to be the one who pleases her , I should be able to meet Ren Xianhong, the future official minister, that day, right?

Talking about this with her cousin again today, Xie Yuanniang felt that Ren Xianhong should be settled early.

The mahogany box was opened, and there were small boxes of different sizes inside. Lingmei and Zuidong took them out one by one, opened them and placed them on the square table and soft couch. Hanging ornaments, bracelets, rings, earrings, soft couches and square tables are not placed, and the table on the ground is full.

The pendant in one of the boxes is the most eye-catching, and Xie Yuanniang also picked it up and polished it finely. The three-ring emerald and longevity pattern coral pendant, the coral red is like the morning sun, matched with green emerald, the color is bright, very beautiful.

"It's for Fushou. My uncle must have prepared this for the girl's safety." Lingmei and the others also came up to look at it.

Han Xue pointed to the boxes over there, "There is also a pair of emerald belt buckles, a gold-embedded emerald headdress, bracelets and rings over there. This is a set of emerald necklaces that my uncle gave the girl."

Such an extremely hard-to-find emerald has come together as a whole set, which shows how much my uncle and wife love the girl.

Xie Yuanniang put down the pendant, "Take this out and keep it for the tenth day of the Lunar New Year."

Then he picked up the incense box from the box beside it, it was still emerald.

This whole set of emeralds, there is not a few thousand taels of silver that cannot be bought. Although the officials in the capital sound like Beijing officials, the life of each family is like what others talk about behind their backs. If there is no Kong to make up for it, thank you The government really has to live by treating things as things.

Xie Yuanniang regained her composure, and her gaze fell on a pair of silver-dotted emerald dragonfly hairpins. The blue emerald emerald was already eye-catching, and the dragonfly was exquisitely and realistically made, with complete head, tail, and whiskers. And very few, this pair of hairpins is a rare treasure.

Xie Yuanniang ordered Lingmei to take it out, and then looked at the hairpins made of Diancui, but they were made of white jade or agate gemstones, with different styles and no double relatives.

"This pair of dragonfly hairpins is fine. I'm young, and wearing too many will make people feel dazzled." Xie Yuanniang asked to put away the things, and sat back on the couch before asking Zui Dong, "I saw the cousin girl in the past few days. , can you see that the hairpin she wears is a bit emerald?"

Xie Yuanniang thought about it, and she felt that her memory was correct, as if she didn't see it.

Zui Dong kept packing things in his hands, while replying, "Your maidservant didn't see it."

Xie Yuanniang nodded.

That is really not.

Nowadays, there are not many hairpins made of Diancui craftsmanship, even rarer, but my aunt has prepared so many for her. The head accessories in this box cost more than ten thousand taels of silver. She knows that her aunt loves her, but Is this too much?

I always feel that something doesn't make sense, but I can't find out why.

Zui Dong has always been steady and thoughtful, so when the master asked her, she thought of the reason and asked after a moment of consideration, "Girl, do you still wear this emerald dragonfly hairpin on the tenth day of the lunar new year?"

"Dai, I got it in an upright manner, so what are you afraid of." Xie Yuanniang said firmly, "As for the clothes, just find one out of the spring clothes."

On weekdays, most of these things are sorted out by Ling Mei. Here, after listening to the master's order, Ling Meibei went to pick out the clothes first. The master and servants in the inner room were busy with each other, and saw the maid outside in a hurry. Come in.

"Girl, something happened in the front yard. The master is losing his temper. He told the eldest girl and the young lady to go to the front yard." It was the little girl in the yard who came to deliver the message, "It was delivered by Mama Liu. She has already gone to Wangyue Tower."

Mei was a little surprised.

Xie Yuanniang was also surprised, "I know."

Lingmei and the others also rushed over to help the master comb her hair and change clothes, but within half a cup of tea, Xie Yuanniang took Lingmei out of the Qingshan Courtyard. On the corridor in the middle, Xie Yuanniang met Xie Wenhui.

"Father has always been mild-tempered and never loses his temper. Mama Liu told me why my father got angry?" She even called them over.

Compared with Xie Yuanniang's caring and eager expression, Xie Wenhui was more settled, "Mother Liu left after delivering the letter, and we will know what happened when we get there."

As for the family affairs of Xie's mansion, Sister Yan couldn't follow her, so she stayed in Wangyue Tower. Since her sister said so, Xie Yuanniang didn't ask any more questions. When the two arrived at the front yard, they could still see the servants in the front yard. Kneeling all over the yard.

Yin Quan who was standing outside the study respectfully stepped forward to salute, then pushed open the door, and after the two entered, he closed the door from the outside.

In the study, Mr. Xie was sitting behind the desk with a gloomy face. Mrs. Kong was sitting on the chair beside her, also looking anxious. When she saw their sisters coming in, she hurriedly said, "Yuan Niang, but you took your father's Going to play with the official badge? Hurry up and take it out."

Xie Yuanniang was surprised, "What do I do with my father's official seal? I lost my father's official seal?"

　Young Lord: I found a clue, and it turned out that Xie Wenhui had been to the study.

　　Xie Yuanniang: Let's smash a wave of monthly tickets first.
