good wife

Chapter 52
"When did I say that it was Aunt Nalan who planned all this, it was the Liu family!"

"Aunt Liu? But this is even more wrong! So what good does the Liu family gain by designing all this? On the contrary, it is cheaper, so Aunt Lan?"

He Nanny laughed and scolded: "You, you are really shallow-sighted! Do you really think that Aunt Lan, a noble concubine, will be safe? She is just a shield for the Liu family! Let alone the third lady, it is the old lady And she won't really love this Aunt Lan. The old lady is so shrewd, how can she not see that someone designed to frame the third lady? She will definitely find a way to get the third lady out of the family temple. After all, she is the biological mother of the two sons! With the main wife around, how can a concubine really decide? Just wait and see, it won't take long for this Concubine Lan to be in bad luck!"

After hearing this, Jingyi smiled, Mother He is an old man after all, she sees things more thoroughly than Haitang!

"Never mind that there are so many of them, anyway, it's third uncle's family affairs, and has nothing to do with us." After finishing speaking, Jingyi stood up, picked up a grape and put it in her mouth.As soon as the teeth were bitten, the moist flesh slid out, and the sweet taste quickly spread in the mouth.

Jingyi spat out the skin and seeds, nodded and said, "That's right, it's quite sweet."

He Nanny smiled and said: "Yes, the sixth prince is really caring. He even asked the second son to bring it back for you. Most of the grapes at this time are sour. After all, the things in the palace are different from ours. .The maidservant heard that the Marquis and Madam didn’t even have it. They only brought back this hanging.”

Jingyi raised her eyebrows, this Yuanxi, since it was a gift, why not send more? "Haitang serves this plate of grapes, let's go to mother's."

Haitang agreed, picked up the fruit plate and followed Jingyi out of the dormitory.

Mrs. Gu was sitting at the table looking at the account books in the mansion. When she heard that Jing Yi had come, she quickly put it down and said with a smile, "Why are you willing to come out today? You don't need to study your medical books anymore?"

Jingyi blessed Fushen and said: "Yiyi came to say hello to mother, and by the way invite mother to taste the grapes!"

"Oh?" Mrs. Gu glanced at Haitang's fruit plate on the table, "The grapes in this season are very sour, mother dare not eat them!"

"Mother, the sixth prince asked the second brother to bring it back. He said it was a tribute. My daughter tasted one, and it was very sweet. Mother, taste it!" After finishing speaking, he took one off the hanging and put it on Gu's. mouth.

Gu smiled and put it in her mouth, "Well, it's really sweet! It's really a good thing!"

Seeing that Gu Shi was happy, Jingyi said softly, "It's good that mother likes it!" Turning her head, she saw the account book on the table, "Mom is looking at the account book again?"

Mrs. Gu sighed and said: "In a few days, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival. There will be gifts, banquets, and palaces! There is no need for money here! No, I am thinking about what gifts to give What about your uncle's house? In the final analysis, Qing'er is able to have today because of your uncle's teaching!"

Jingyi nodded, "Mother, why don't you let Nanny Liu give you advice on these matters?"

"I asked her to go to the big warehouse. First, let's see what high-quality jade articles are available for sale! It's not easy for Concubine Shu to be in the palace. Tomorrow, since she is the sixth prince's accompanying student, we have to give some as gifts." .I heard people say that she likes jade, so let Madam Liu go and pick it out first."

"Yes! After all, the sixth prince is fostered under the name of Concubine Shu, this gift must be given."

Jingyi sat down and accompanied Gu Shi to think of a way to see what gifts to give to the emperor, queen and several noble concubines.While the two were talking, Nanny Liu came back, followed by two maids, each holding a tray with some small pieces of jade on it.

Grandma Liu blessed her body and said: "Ma'am, these are small pieces of jade objects picked out by slaves from the storeroom. There are jade bracelets, jade pendants, jade pendants, and some small jade ornaments. Take a look, Which one is better to choose?"

Mrs. Gu glanced at the two trays, stretched out her hand to take a few more carefully, and finally shook her head, "Although these jade objects are exquisite, there is nothing in the palace? Even if the concubine Shu is not favored, there are The position is called, how can these things be missing?"

"Ma'am, I saw that there are several large jade wares in the warehouse, which are really good, but the servants were afraid that the jade wares would be damaged when the servants moved them, so they didn't let them move them. You see, why don't you go to the warehouse to see for yourself See?"

Gu Shi nodded, and asked Jingyi to accompany her to the big warehouse.

As soon as the group left the yard, they ran into Jing Wei.

Jing Wei hurriedly saluted and said: "Greetings to mother. The old lady asked her daughter to come over and invite mother over, saying that she has something important to discuss."

Gu Shi glanced at Jingwei, and saw that she was wearing a pink dress today, with golden butterflies embroidered on the collar, cuffs and skirt, and a butterfly hairpin on her head, Very nice.

"Jingwei, since the old lady is looking for me, why didn't she let the maid pass on the message, but sent you here instead?"

"Back to mother, my daughter happened to be taking medicine for the old lady. As soon as she heard that she was looking for you, she volunteered to come here." Jing smiled slightly and replied.

Mrs. Gu nodded. This girl is becoming more and more disciplined, and she is becoming more and more likable.It seems that this Madam Hong is not bad, she is very satisfied to be able to teach Jing Wei who was arrogant before to become what she is now.

Compared to Gu's satisfaction, Jing Yi took a closer look at Jing Wei.Seeing that she abides by etiquette in her words and deeds, compared with before, she is a completely different person!Thinking of the Nanny Peng mentioned by Si Qin, Jingyi became more suspicious!

A group of people did not go to Cheng's warehouse, but went to the old lady's Crane Shoutang.

After sitting down, Mrs. Gu asked, "I don't know what's the matter with the old lady calling my daughter-in-law?"

The old lady sat on a grand teacher's chair, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "The Mid-Autumn Festival is almost here in a blink of an eye. I know you are still angry about the things of the previous two days! But after all, it is a family, and the matter is over. Don't be so sullen again, if you hurt your body, it won't be worth it."

Mrs. Gu smiled lightly: "What the old lady said is that the daughter-in-law is going to the storeroom to pick out gifts today. No, Jingwei said that you were looking for me, so she came here."

The old lady smiled, "Well, I know you're busy. Actually, it's not a big deal. I'm just asking. In the past, we sent some fabrics, pastries, and drinks to your uncle. It was too troublesome. You These two days have been bothering Japan, I thought about it, why not just send them some money this year, and save you having to worry about preparations."

When Gu Shi heard this, she smiled on her face, but she was disdainful in her heart, hum!how?How could any relative ask for something?This festival, I gave you these things in accordance with customs and conventions. I have heard of which family gives money to relatives during the festival?Besides, send money?I'm afraid the minimum is 1000 taels. If it's less, if I can't take it out, the uncle won't accept it.
