Concubine Rebirth: Your Highness, I am sick

Chapter 136 Jade Bracelet

Two of the accompanying eunuchs who came out of the palace were brought out by Haitang to serve them.Haitang called one over, gave some instructions in a low voice, the eunuch nodded frequently, and took the order to leave.

The wives didn't care about it, they just thought that the side concubine was taking care of some private affairs, or they were just gossiping about each other.

Geng Su'e, who was standing far away, finally had some fun talking with the girls, and was held by them, leading them together.

Haitang deliberately asked: "Which one of you is the best to ask for a lottery today?"

All the girls chattered, pointing to a girl with a round face and saying: "Wu Niang's lottery is the best, not only can I meet my son-in-law, but I can also go to prosperous places with my son-in-law."

The girl's name was He Wuniang, and she blushed: "It's all just for fun, but you guys should take it seriously."

The young lady of the Qiu family was straight-tempered and quick-spoken, and said with a smile, "You shouldn't? You're always going out to look for it, and you won't stay in Shangpu Town."

Haitang asked strangely, "Where is Wu Niang going?"

Miss Qiu said enviously: "Her brother fills in the vacancy of Dali Temple in the capital, and she wants to live with him in the capital."

He Wuniang added: "My sister-in-law is pregnant with Liujia, and my mother is afraid that my brother will not be able to take care of her alone, so she asked me to go and take care of her."

Mrs. He was gossiping with others, but she became happy when she saw her daughter was mentioned, and said with a smile: "Look, you're not ashamed to say anything. What can she do, just ask her to come over and be a companion to the young couple. "

Haitang also heard it. Indeed, He Wuniang herself is still young, so she can't take care of things. Besides, who's eldest grandma likes to have a powerful sister-in-law at home.It was clearly Mrs. He who asked her son to take her out, relying on her good looks, hoping to find a good marriage in the capital.

"So it's like this, he's going to the capital." Haitang pretended to be pleasantly surprised.

When He Wuniang saw that Mu Wang's side concubine was so kind, she became more courageous, she tilted her head and said, "Side concubine, I will go to the capital later, can I go to the palace to play with you?"

Haitang thought to herself, if I go back to the capital according to the trajectory of my previous life, I won't live in the palace anymore.

However, he couldn't show it on his face, he just smiled and said: "Of course it's fine, as long as you don't think I'm not treating you well."

He Wuniang was even more happy when she saw that she was liked by Mu Wang's side concubine, and chirped about the appearance of the capital.

Haitang paid attention to Geng Su'e, but saw that she was actually listening with her ears up, but her face was probably used to worrying, and her two eyebrows were still frowning.

Haitang said calmly, and suddenly said: "I heard that Madam Geng returned to her hometown from the capital. She stayed in the capital for so many years and didn't speak a word. I haven't visited the capital very much. Made Mrs. Geng laugh."

Mrs. Geng froze for a moment, then panicked, as if she was very surprised that she suddenly fell into the eyes of the side concubine, and hurriedly replied: "Back to the side concubine, although the concubine has been in the capital for a while, but I have been away for a long time, I don't know the capital. It’s still not what it used to be, don’t dare to lie.”

Haitang smiled: "Madam Geng is too polite. I should go back to the capital to have fun when I have time..."

"Don't dare... dare not..." Mrs. Geng panicked.

Haitang became more and more suspicious. It seems that Geng Zuo led his family suddenly resigned and left the capital. There may be some reasons behind it.

Mrs. Qiu seemed to be trying to save Mrs. Geng, and asked Haitang: "I heard from my side concubine that you didn't grow up in the capital?"

"I grew up with my father in the south of the Yangtze River, and the whole family moved to Beijing last spring."

When they heard Jiangnan, the girls chattered enviously for a while.Geng Su'e just listened all the time, and didn't speak a word, Haitang secretly looked at her a few times, but was secretly a little startled.

Geng Su'e's calm look seemed a little familiar.

With a heartbeat, she pointed to the twisted jade bracelet on Geng Su'e's wrist and said, "Hey, Miss Geng's jade bracelet, is it from Gusu?"

Geng Su'e was stunned, and subconsciously looked down at her jade bracelet.Pity her for being so skinny, the jade bracelet hanging on her thin wrist is really unbearable.

Mrs. Geng said: "The side concubine has really good eyesight. This bracelet was bought in the capital before. It was made by craftsmen from the south of the Yangtze River. The girl likes it, so she has been wearing it all the time."

Haitang's eyes lit up, and she said happily, "Miss Geng, can I take a closer look?"

Without knowing it, Geng Su'e stepped forward, half squatted and stretched out her jade arms.

"Yeah, it's the ornamentation, it's the handwork..."

Geng Su'e couldn't help being surprised, and finally asked: "The side concubine has seen it?"

"I've seen it before, it's something I've been longing for..." Haitang said while touching the bracelet, and accidentally touched Geng Su'e's wrist, she flinched slightly, only feeling that the touch was cold.

Mrs. Geng is also very sensible: "It's rare for my concubine to like something worthless, so it should be given to my concubine as a meeting gift, but this gift is too thin, so my concubine should not dislike it."

As he spoke, he signaled Geng Su'e to take it off.

Haitang hurriedly held it down, and said with a smile: "I can't do it. To tell you the truth, I have an older brother who is also working in Henan. At that time, he took the first month's salary and bought me a bracelet that is exactly the same. It's a pity that I accidentally broke it, and looking for another one, this style is not common, let alone made by a craftsman in Gusu. So I just saw it suddenly, and it was a bit rude."

When Geng Su'e heard it, her heart couldn't help but twitch, and she said in a low voice, "Your brother...is treating you so well."

"My father and mother had two children. My brother and I have had a deep relationship since childhood. When he is not around, seeing the bracelet is like seeing a person."

Geng Su'e was even more sentimental, she couldn't help but shed tears and said: "Since this is the case, this bracelet should be given to the side concubine. Wearing it on my hand is just an ornament, and wearing it on your hand is a thought."

After all, he took off the bracelet without any explanation.

She was so thin that she didn't even need to apply soapy water, and it took off so lightly and deftly, which made people feel distressed.

Haitang became more and more certain that this girl had a good nature, but she was too boring and sensitive.Then he took the bracelet and said: "I met such a gong again in this Sansheng Temple. Don't you want to thank the Bodhisattva? Come and accompany me to burn incense to the Bodhisattva."

Geng Su'e was stunned, and she was already held by the side concubine Mu Wang and walked out.

I only heard Mu Wang's side concubine turn around and say to the equally astonished crowd: "We will come as soon as we go, you guys have some snacks first."

Where did Haitang really want Geng Su'e's things, and pretended to burn incense on the Bodhisattva, thanking the Bodhisattva for letting her get it back.He took off a string of necklaces from his neck, they were the pearls of the East China Sea, each one was perfectly round, and buying ten jade bracelets was more than enough.

"I can't take your things in vain. I have to return the gift after accepting it. You are so good-looking, and you are worthy of this string of pearls."

Geng Su'e was taken aback: "No way, side concubine!"
