Chapter Ninety-Four: Rewarding the Face and Slapping the Face
What is the purpose of my aunt's visit to the Marquis Mansion in Jingnan?
In addition to coming to visit their family, Yuan Xiang really couldn't think of what other purpose his aunt could have today.
Pei Jinxin just wanted to play tricks, and he didn't plan to tell his mother about what he wanted Yuan Xiang to be her sister-in-law now.
Seeing that Yuan Xiang was successfully bluffed by her, he didn't say anything more, and he was in a good mood and quickened his pace.
Bai Shaohan naturally followed and served.
Rushuang Ruxue was afraid that her girl would be angry, and was about to say a few words of comfort, Yuan Xiang waved his hand and said: "I'm fine, such a person can't be more serious with her, what she said is nothing." ”
The group soon arrived at Chunhui Hall.
The old lady was already here, and the Deng family and the Tang family took the young masters and girls of the Yuan family to welcome the Gu Xi family of four into the main hall.
The three little ones, Yuanjing Yuanwei and the eleventh girl Yuan Zhuan, were also led by their respective nurses, and they saluted Gu Xi together decently.
Gu Xi took the meeting gifts that had been prepared from the housekeeper's mother and sent them to the girls and young masters of the Yuan Mansion one by one.
After that, she personally took her three children to greet the old lady.
Naturally, the old lady would not be stingy with her praise and greeting gifts.
Pei Jincheng and Pei Jinhong are both well-defined and handsome, which can be regarded as a collection of the advantages of their parents, they are very handsome and good-looking, and they are courteous and thoughtful, and they have won everyone's favor with their lightness.
Due to her mother's repeated explanations before, Pei Jinxin did not put on the county lord's stand today, and her behavior was in line with the rules everywhere, but she could still make people feel her arrogance and detachment.
Naturally, the Yuan family didn't like such an attitude, but they all thought of Gu Chao invariably, and it was really a niece of the in-law, and their tempers were the same.
However, people didn't let them salute today by virtue of their identity as the county lord, which is already good.
Gu Chao and Pei Jinxin did have the meaning of seeing each other when they met for the first time.
Gu Chao was not disgusted with Pei Jinxin's condescending attitude, in her opinion, this was the expression that a girl with a noble status should have.
What's more, for her niece who is not as good as her daughter, she is married, and she is obviously very patient.
Anyway, it has no impact on her daughter's future, and it is also a help to win over.
Pei Jinxin also felt that this eldest aunt, who was as outstanding as her mother, was really in line with her eyes, and at least her attitude towards herself was much better than that of her mother.
So the atmosphere in Chunhui Hall was very harmonious, a happy and peaceful scene.
Let's talk about the father and daughter duo of Yuan Zheng.
After realizing that His Majesty's attitude towards his little aunt was a little wrong, Doudou's heart became even more awkward.
She didn't know if her father knew the inside story, anyway, she felt that she couldn't open her mouth about such a thing.
Putting aside the previous jokes that my father likes my little aunt, the relationship between His Majesty the Emperor and the sister-in-law of the Empress is ambiguous, and even if you see it with your own eyes, you can only rot in your stomach, otherwise you will be looking for death.
What's more, she has no evidence, just speculation.
It was inconvenient to say much in the palace, and neither father nor daughter spoke, and soon left the palace and got into the carriage back home.
Yuan Zheng had already sensed that the second girl was wrong, but it wasn't until the carriage started moving that he rubbed her head and smiled: "What's wrong with Yuan'er, are you still thinking about that food?" ”
Doudou tugged at Yuan Zheng's sleeve and glared at him, "Daddy - are people like that!" ”
Yuan Zheng leaned against the wall of the car and frowned and said: "It turns out that only my father is distressed, but that is not a small amount of income, and it is more than enough to support a large family." ”
Doudou was amused, and said coquettishly: "Then why didn't you give your daughter a hint, why is it too late now." After that, he pouted again: "His Majesty the Emperor is really stingy, one hundred taels of gold, he is really embarrassed to take it." ”
Yuan Zheng joked: "It's really not very generous, only a hundred taels of gold will be rewarded, and I don't know when it will be cashed out." ”
Doudou suddenly felt that he had been fooled by that neurotic emperor, but isn't it, a hundred taels of gold is really not much, so he directly rewarded her with it today and brought it back by the way.
But the emperor was stunned that he didn't let himself smell the slightest smell of gold, did he really want to repay the debt?
Didn't you say that the king of a country, Chrysostom, how did he get to Emperor Yongtai of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and a hundred taels of gold flew without even hearing a sound?
Yuan Zheng saw the second daughter's little appearance of gritting her teeth, and laughed: "Don't worry, Your Majesty won't rely on such a little gold, not to mention that he has just made a lot of money, and he has a lot of money." ”
Isn't it, how did King Jiaodong become Prince Ke, and others don't know if she is the second girl?
Yuan Zheng said again: "According to His Majesty's habit, no more than two days later, a big pomp will be put on a big show for people to personally reward the gold to our house, and Yuan'er will wait to kneel to welcome the reward." ”
Doudou's little face was wrinkled into buns, now it's okay, the Neurotic Emperor is a move of 10,000 taels of gold, and he is about to become famous in the capital.
Is this a face appreciation, or a slap in the face?
In less than an hour, the carriage returned to the corner gate where it had departed.
is different from before, Cai Qing and Cai Sang have been here for a long time with Zhuang'er and Kang'er.
No sooner had the carriage come to a stop than four men gathered around.
This time, Doudou jumped out of the carriage without waiting for his father to move, and said to the four with a smile: "How long have you been waiting here?" ”
Yuan Zheng also got out of the car at this time, and said first: "It must have been ordered by the old lady." ”
Zhuang Er said with a smile: "The second master is wise, it was the old lady who asked the servants to wait here, and said that you and the second girl would go over immediately after going back to the room to freshen up." ”
Yuan Zheng looked at Doudou's bright outfit that was exactly the same as Gu Chao in her girlhood, a trace of uncertainty flashed in her eyes, and she smiled: "Listen to your grandmother, go back and change into more elegant clothes and go to see your little aunt again." ”
Doudou has always cared what she wears, since her father told her to do it, she will naturally do it, and take Cai Qing and Cai Sang back to Bang Xing Pavilion.
At this time, in the Chunhui Hall, the old lady and Gu Chao and Gu Xi were chatting happily, and the Deng family, a native of the Jingnan Hou Mansion, saw that Pei Jinxin was about to doze off, so he secretly pulled the old lady's sleeve.
The old lady smiled at Gu Xi and said: "The children are not happy to listen to what we say together, they must be bored and panicked, take advantage of the good weather today, let the brothers and sisters go to the garden for a walk." ”
Several young masters of the Yuan Mansion took the lead in standing up and inviting the Pei family brothers, and the boys quickly left.
Yuan Yun and Yuan Xiang also called their sisters and walked out of the main hall with Pei Jinxin.
In addition to Yuan Xiang, the girls in the Yuan Mansion are either the concubines of Jingnan Hou Yuanjing, or the daughters of Jingnan Houshu's younger brother Yuan Fang, in short, they all have the word "Shu", how can they get into Pei Jinxin's eyes.
As soon as she came to the garden, she took the two maids along the path to the depths of the garden, and no one wanted to pay attention to it at all, which made the Yuanfu girls who were left behind very embarrassed.
Yuan Xiang was so annoyed, but Pei Jinxin was her cousin, and she had to endure it no matter how unhappy she was, she confessed a few words to her sisters, and chased after her with frost and snow. (To be continued.) )
