Difficulty concubine

Chapter 30

On the way back to Chengenhou Mansion, there was snowflakes in the sky, Jiao Niang got out of the carriage with Yin Bao, and immediately got into a warm sedan chair, and four sturdy women carried the delicate sedan chair directly to In the Linshui Pavilion, the sedan chair finally stopped firmly outside the Moon Gate in the Linshui Pavilion. Yinbao leaned forward and raised the heavy sedan chair curtain, and helped Jiao Niang get off the sedan chair with the other hand, saying: "Master, be careful Hold on, the road is slippery."

Jiaoniang was holding a white porcelain hand stove with lotus patterns in her hands, and her snow-white face was covered by a black and purple hood, reflecting a delicate face that seemed to be three points whiter than that of snowflakes.

On the opposite side, Jin Bao and Tong Xi stepped forward quickly, one rewarded the woman who carried the sedan chair, and the other walked in with the other side of Jiao Niang, and said in a low voice: "Master, the third master is waiting for you!" !" Tong Xi said that the third master is the second son of Mrs. Cheng Enhou, and he is known as the devil king in the mansion. Not to mention the ladies in the mansion, even the little maids who want to climb high are avoiding him. If it's too late, I'm afraid I will suffer disaster.

Jiaoniang's expression changed slightly, her steps paused, and she ordered: "Send someone to go to mother to inform, and tell that third brother has returned to the mansion." As soon as the words fell, a man walked out in front of him, about 25 years old. About six years old, wearing brightly colored brocade clothes, looks very good, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, slightly curved peach eyes, striding towards Jiaoniang, this man is none other than Wei Sanlang.

Jiao Niang avoided Wei Sanlang's protruding hand, turned sideways and said, "Why did the third brother go back to the mansion today, if he happened to go to Wenbohou's mansion with his mother earlier to see the second sister."

Wei Sanlang chuckled, and didn't care about Jiaoniang's attitude, he just said: "It was supposed to come back tomorrow, but I was thinking about my sister, so I hurried back first." Wei Sanlang reached out his hand while talking He grabbed Jiao Niang's wrist, pulled her towards the inner room, and said with a smile: "I brought you a lot of presents when I went to Ningzhou this time. You can still see it if you let me see it."

Jiaoniang's wrist moved slightly, but she didn't break away from Wei Sanlang's clenched hand. She couldn't help frowning slightly, but she didn't dare to confront him head-on. Not to mention her, even her father and Mrs. In the eyes of the father and the wife, the daughter of the wife is not worth much, but the son of the wife is worth a lot of money, but if the father and the wife care about the family, the sixth lady will not die. The lady will not become paralyzed.

"Third brother, let go of your hand, it hurts me."

Wei Sanlang looked back with a smile, let go of his hand, but pressed Jiao Niang to sit on the wide leaning, and beckoned Tonggui to bring up the things he brought, from which he picked out an exquisite brocade box in lake blue with auspicious cloud patterns , opened it with a flick of the finger, took out a white jade step shaker from the inside and fiddled with it gently, then moved to Jiaoniang's side, with a deep smile on his brows and eyes: "Look, it's exquisite or not, I thought it was good The masters are all in our capital. I didn’t expect Ningzhou to have such a capable person. I fell in love with it at a glance. The quality of this jade is also very good, the color is like suet, delicate and moist. Look at this carver , it’s not the slightest difference from the palace lanterns you play with in festivals.”

Seeing Wei Sanlang fiddle with the half-finger-long hexagonal palace lantern, Jiaoniang was a little surprised, she couldn't help but nodded, agreeing with Wei Sanlang's words: "It's very delicate, I didn't expect Ningzhou to have such a good handicraft." master."

Wei Sanlang smiled triumphantly, handed the step shaker to Jiaoniang, and said: "This white jade palace lamp step shaker is made of white jade as the skeleton and inlaid with silk gauze. Look at the six painted screens, each of which is in a different posture. The peony flower, even the color ink is blended with flower juice and dyed, it can be said to be extremely elegant."
