Huang Jue, after three marriages

Chapter 476
At dusk, the four big boats of the Chen family left Shangqiu Wharf and headed for the capital.

Chen Liuli sat by the window, watching the boat slowly pass the Shangqiu Wharf.

Not far away, there is a branch pier that forks out. You can see eight large boats lined up on the river.

Compared with the Chen family's boats, those boats are naturally smaller, but in terms of the canal, they are already huge.

Moreover, at the front and back of the fleet were two slightly smaller official ships, with official flags on them, and soldiers in soft armor walking on them.

Judging by that posture, he is not an ordinary official.

Chen Liuli frowned unconsciously.

"Girl, madam calls you over." A maidservant in Tsing Yi walked into the door softly and whispered beside her.

Chen Liuli raised her eyes and said lightly, "Do you know what's going on?"

"It's the people from the fleet. They sent back some high-quality Luo and yarn. Madam asked the girl to pick them out first." The servant girl said in a low voice.

"Send it back?" Chen Liuli frowned unconsciously.

"Yes, Madam first heard that there were eight large ships in the other side's fleet, so she asked Steward Yu to inquire about it. Hearing that it was a third-rank loose official who was going to the capital from Hangzhou, she thought, these third-rank officials are always I still want to express my apology, and asked Guanshi Yu to send two pieces of Shu brocade over there, so I can give you these gifts in return."

"Excuse me?" Chen Liuli snorted coldly, and said, "What kind of Shu brocade did you send?"

"Yes, they are placed in the back cabin of the Yunzi boat. Madam said, just pick two horses from the outside." The maids all lowered their heads.

Chen Liuli's face suddenly changed.

The Shu brocade placed in the back cabin of the Yunzi boat was specially prepared by her to give gifts to some middle-level officials and poor relatives. .

To use this kind of low-level thing to give a third-rank loose official a gift?

sorry for what?It's just a nice way of saying it, I'm afraid it's my mother's mistake again, and she wants to take advantage of her officialdom.

My mother was thinking, this loose official is either based on donations, or thanks to the merits of his ancestors, or he has merit but is not easy to seal. The emperor gave him a good-looking empty position. After all, he has no real power man of.

But my mother only saw that these people had no real power, so she should have bowed to the real second-rank officials like the Chen family, but she didn't expect that the donated officials could only reach the fifth rank at most, and the third-rank loose officials could only be the last two. If it is a meritorious service from the ancestors, then it is a noble child, if it is rewarded by the emperor, then at least it will be known in front of the emperor.

These two kinds of people are not people without background.

Moreover, the other party brought eight large ships and two official ships to escort them. For such a family, sending these defective Shu brocades is tantamount to slapping them in the face!
I just hope that the other party will see that their father is in power now, and they are from a remote place like Shuzhou, and think that they are ignorant and just don't realize it.

With this thought, Chen Liuli knew that she was delusional when she walked into the main cabin and saw the bright colored gauze on the table.

Not only did the other party know, but he pulled it back without showing any signs of expression.

Look at what the other party sent, not to mention that the quantity is ten times that of what I sent, but the quality can be regarded as first-class.

But, that is, it can barely be counted as first-class.

If this kind of thing is placed in Shuzhou, it is naturally a good thing (because Shuzhou does not produce Luo), but in Hangzhou, this kind of thing is really nothing.

Paying back with this kind of thing, if you think about it in a good way, the other party means not to care about you. If you give two horses, I will return ten times.How dare you insult me ​​with something like that?These are my rewards for you, so you deserve them!
Chen Liuli stood still at the door, looked at Mrs. Chen surrounded by several aunts and concubines, and looked at the smug smile on her face, and sighed inwardly.

Regardless of good intentions or bad intentions, his face was slapped, and sadly, Mrs. Chen obviously didn't know it yet.

"Liuli is here, come quickly, look at this, doesn't it look like Xiaguang?" Mrs. Chen raised her head to see Chen Liuli, and waved to her with a smile on her face.

Chen Liuli looked at the smile on her face, and then at the red Luo, which was obviously colored like a sunray because of the impurity of the color, with a smile on her face, she stepped forward and said, "It's really beautiful."

"I'm just talking about that loose official. If our wife wants to make friends, why don't you hurry up and curry favor? Madam, you see, these are all good products. I'm afraid there are few such Luo and Sha in the capital. Our girl made a new one." Clothes, then the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet will definitely win the first prize." A aunt next to her, who was dressed up beautifully, said with a smile.

Chen Liuli glanced at her coldly, then glanced over the twenty bolts of Luo Hesha placed on the table, and then stopped at the end.

In the end there were four bolts of crepe of a very beautiful color.

This kind of crepe is specially used to make thin summer skirts, but because it is too bright and light, it is frivolous, so as long as the noble ladies of some status don't bother to use this kind of clothes.

take this...

With a slightly gloomy face, Chen Liuli pointed to the crepes and said, "That's it?"

It would be too insulting to say that those four horses were also a return gift for Mrs. Chen.

After all, although the Shu brocade was cheap, it was still a solemn thing.

Mrs. Chen glanced at the crepes, and said with a smile: "Oh, that's what people say, they are given to the maids in the house to make clothes."

As he spoke, he paused, glanced at a few aunts, and said with a smile: "This is also polite, this kind of crepe is light and breathable, if you like it, you can share it."

The aunts had long since taken a fancy to those crepes, and now that they got Mrs. Chen's words, they hurriedly thanked them, took those pieces of crepes, and dragged their daughters out.

Go to your own room to share.

"Did they specifically say it was for the maid?" Chen Liuli asked in a deep voice after they left.

"Yeah, she's also an interesting one. I'm afraid it's just because I know there is an aunt in our house. It's a way of saying it for face." Mrs. Chen said shamelessly towards the door.

It turned out that it was by name, so it was not intentional to humiliate them.

Chen Liuli let out a sigh of relief.

After thinking about it, Chen Liuli took Mrs. Chen's hand and sat down, and said in a low voice: "Mother, don't do this kind of thing again in the future, our house doesn't lack such things."

A trace of shame of being seen through flashed across Madam Chen's face, and then she sank her face, waved the people in the room to go out, and said in a low voice: "I'm not out of anger, think about it, your father came to Beijing, he was alone I took that bitch and her son and daughter alone, and took away all the best things in the house, hoping that I would not know, this is to secretly give those things to that bitch as a dowry, Find her a good home! If it weren't for this, we wouldn't even be able to find a few new materials for summer clothes."

After walking to the capital, I realized that the weather here is not as cold as they thought it was near the north. It is hotter than Shuzhou, and it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival soon after arriving, so we have to have various entertainments.

But the Shu brocade they brought was good, but they couldn't make summer clothes.

She didn't take advantage of everything, but also thought that since the official ship came from Hangzhou, it would naturally bring some fashionable and good materials.

"Mother..." Chen Liuli whispered.

Xin Dao, if you really just want some fashionable materials from the other party, you can be more generous and choose two good ones from the high-end Shu brocades I prepared. Judging from the other party's behavior, you can send two high-quality Sichuan brocades In the past, at least ten top-quality Luosha would be sent back.

Why is it so ugly?
Or, if you tell me before sending it...

Forget it, mother has such a temperament, otherwise, she would not be strong enough to urinate, and tried her best to plan everything.

That bitch and her daughter...

In fact, she asked her father to take it on purpose.

If the two of them didn't do anything, wouldn't it be a waste of all her efforts?
Jun Jiuyi has his ideas, but it is related to her life's happiness. At this time, she cannot trust him!
