Several ladies said that Princess Xie and Mrs. Hou should be. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Yuxiu was as kind as a stream, and just wanted to salute and thank the Liu family again, but Mrs. Ji grabbed her again, "You child, don't cry, the princess helps you, this is a rare thing for a thousand years, and it is also your creation." ā
Yuxiu felt that this Mrs. Ji was really a wonderful person, no wonder Princess Liu in her previous life hated Mrs. Chengyi Hou so much. The Liu family wants to be famous and face-saving, but Mrs. Ji doesn't care about her vulgarity, and having scruples is the handle.
Anyway, she doesn't suffer a loss, she is happy to cooperate.
Mrs. Ji was also happy, Yuxiu was so clear, and she answered the call too well.
She had long seen that Princess Liu's hypocrisy and hypocrisy were not pleasing to the eye. Liu is obviously mean and stingy, but he still has to pretend to be a good person who does not spare money, and behind his back, he also sarcastically ridiculed his family for ascending to heaven by relying on concubines and chickens, saying that his daughter is a fox.
Every time she saw Liu's smile, she couldn't wait to slap her, but in the end, this was the princess, and her daughter specially sent her grandmother back from the palace to teach the family etiquette, and she also knew that the princess was not something that could be beaten casually.
If she catches it today and can make Liu's fortune, she won't let it go easily.
She rolled her eyes, turned to Princess Liu and said with a smile, "A few days ago, I heard someone talk about the ancients, saying that there was a king who wanted to find a capable person in the past, and someone came to the door. The king thought that the man was a liar, and the man said, "If you are good to me, O king, then no other man who is more capable than me will come to the door when he sees it." The king felt reasonable, and really offered this person, and later many capable people came. ā
Mrs. Ji said it in an easy-to-understand manner, and the meaning is self-evident.
The kind look on Liu's face was a little reluctant, and she had also heard the story of Guo Huai's daughter buying a dead horse.
The corner of Mrs. Ji's eyes swept to Liu's reluctant smile, and she smiled even more cheerfully, "I just thought that this unveiling of the list should not be angry in anyone's hands." Now that I think about it, the princess can figure out that she is more knowledgeable than me, who has never read a book. If you want to talk about a mother's heart, there is really no more attentive than you, Princess. ā
"Where, Mrs. Ji praised it falsely, I actually didn't think about it so much, I only thought these children were pitiful at the time......"
"Princess, don't be modest," Madame Ji interrupted her heartily, "Don't we know who you are?"
She looked at Yuxiu who was standing in front of her again. Yuxiu's hair made the white beaded flower on her head particularly conspicuous.
Mrs. Ji touched her bun and asked, "Your pearl flower is also rewarded by the princess?"
"Well, the princess said that I am still in the filial piety period, and the bright jewelry is not good, so I specially appreciated this pearl flower. Look, ma'am, it's a string of pearls. She bit down heavily on the word "pearl."
The ladies took a closer look, and the pearl was not worth a few taels of silver, so they gave it to the big maids at home to wear it.
"The color of this bead flower is suitable, these beads ......"
"This pearl flower is very beautiful, I have never seen such a good pearl. Just now, Mama Tian also told me that this pearl flower was worn by the princess first. ā
This has a lot of meaning, wear it first, will you give it again when you go back, or will you take it back when you go back?
Mrs. Ji glanced at Liu with a little disdain, and reached out to pull out a silver hairpin inlaid with coral beads from her head, "You are still young and don't understand." Since the princess of the pearl flower let you wear it first...... Come, this is what I send you. ā
This is simply a direct mockery of Liu's reluctance to give good things, and to coax the little girl with this kind of worthlessness, Liu's face was a little hot, she glared at Mama Tian, "Yuxiu, Mama Tian didn't lie to you, that's what you want to wear today." Mama Tian, you will send a few other pieces of jewelry I prepared for Yuxiu when she leaves. ā
Mama Tian was stunned by that look, obviously her words were fine, but after being said twice by Yuxiu and Mrs. Ji, why didn't it taste right.
"Hey, the princess originally prepared a box of jewelry, then my hairpin is too shabby to give it away. When I go back to the house, I think about what to send, and Ming'er will send it to the inn together. Mrs. Ji said, and inserted the pulled hairpin back into her head as if nothing happened.
Liu Shi was dumbfounded, this ...... How can this Ji family be able to do it? After all, the Liu family is still an official eunuch, and I have never seen the practice of the market.
Also, are you taking yourself as a wronged person? When did you say that you were going to give a box of jewelry?
"Princess, let me tell you, tomorrow you send something to the inn, the momentum can't be too small, so that it can spread quickly, and the talented people know that you are so good to a little girl who has no ability, and they will definitely rush over immediately. Mrs. Ji persuaded in a warm-hearted tone.
Capable people?
It's a liar!
Princess Liu almost couldn't help it, and the position where Yuxiu was standing obviously saw that her back molars were grinding.
Mrs. Ji reminded that she was taught. Liu replied with a smile after a moment.
"We also have to help the princess build momentum, Ming'er, don't forget to send someone to the inn to deliver things." Mrs. Ji asked the earth to directly order the other ladies.
Those ladies felt that something was wrong, but they didn't dare to offend Mrs. Chengyihou, so they had to respond vaguely.
"By the way, Yuxiu, how old are you this year?" Mrs. Ji was not finished.
"Back to Mrs., the folk girl is ten years old this year. ā
"Ten years old, it looks weird and thin, have you promised someone?"
When Yuxiu heard this question, she blushed and shook her head.
"Your parents died early, and I haven't had time to set you a home yet. Pity this child, don't you know," Mrs. Ji said to the other ladies in a tone of news, "Poor daughters, no matter how much parents love their children, they have to have a good dowry to marry a good family......"
snapped, Mrs. Ji slapped her face, "I have a good idea, it's fate, princess, why don't we have a few of us here to help Yuxiu prepare some dowry?"
Mrs. Ji's eyebrows fluttered, "If the concubine is in the palace, I have never married a daughter, and I don't know what to prepare." By the way, don't be impractical, simply, let's just give cash. ā
"Hmm...... In the end, it is the princess's guest, I can't overstep the bounds, but as soon as I see Yuxiu, I fall in love, and it's not appropriate to give less. Mrs. Ji said, rubbing the tea bowl in her hand and pondering.
Liu Shi only felt his heart beating.
There was a lady who was usually obedient to Liu's orders, and she had the courage to interject, "Mrs. Ji, I heard that the Zhuang family doesn't have much to marry their daughters, and it's not appropriate to give too much......
"Yes, yes, what you remind you is that Yuxiu, the princess gave you silver, but not all of it was given to you, and your brothers and sisters also had a share. Mrs. Ji looked at Yuxiu and advised, "In this way, I will give five hundred taels of silver." Princess, do you think it's appropriate?"
