Chapter 67: The Pearl of the South China Sea
The housekeeper was about to kneel, but Zhuo Yijia turned around and walked back to her seat. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info The housekeeper reacted, why did she kneel down with her concubine?
She is the wife of the second wife, and she is the confidant of the second wife. Even if she has the ability to punish the little minion, she has the protection of the second lady, and the trip she left today was originally the order of the second lady, and no matter how she was punished, she couldn't be punished.
In the past, as the personal grandmother next to the second lady, she could also decide whether the life of this cowardly silly girl in front of her was comfortable or harsh. Thinking of this, the housekeeper's waist straightened a lot, "Fourth Miss, the old body doesn't have your sharp mouth, anyway, this gift is given to you by the second lady, you have to accept it, you have to accept it, you have to accept it, you have to accept it, you have to accept it." ”
As she spoke, the housekeeper stepped forward and put the box in her hand on the table next to Zhuo Yijia.
Zhuo Yijia looked at the housekeeper and didn't speak, and let her put the box on the table.
Put it down, the housekeeper turned around to leave, walked to the door and seemed to think of something, turned to look at Zhuo Yijia, "By the way, the old man's surname is Gong, if the fourth lady wants to kill the old body with a cane, you can go and tell the second lady." ”
After speaking, Mama Gong raised her feet and walked out.
Hongshan stood next to Zhuo Yijia so angry that her face turned red, and she stomped her feet as she watched Mama Gong's back walk away, "Look, what kind of person is this, a subordinate has such an attitude towards Miss, it's not too much to kill her with a cane!"
Zhuo Yijia stretched out her left hand and put it on the table next to her to support her head, looking at the box that Mama Gong put down, and knocked her right hand on the handle of the chair.
Hongshan turned her head to look at Zhuo Yijia, and there was no anger in her eyes staring at the box, hey, she thought that the young lady had changed her personality now...
"Miss..."Hongshan walked closer to Zhuo Yijia. looked at Zhuo Yijia's eyes, and the distress of many years ago floated again.
"Hmm. Zhuo Yijia turned his head and glanced at Hongshan, who was standing aside looking at him, and sat up straight, "You should get used to it after so many years." I'm not angry, what are you angry about. ”
"I just can't see them bullying Miss like this. Hongshan pouted and said dissatisfiedly.
"Well, I can't see it either. Zhuo Yijia turned to look at the box, leaning back in the chair, "Open it." ”
Hongshan stepped forward to open the box, and the orb inside made her eyes light up.
"Oh~" Hongshan unconsciously pursed her mouth.
Inside the box, there was a white night pearl on the brocade cloth, but it was not big, only the size of a fingertip.
Zhuo Yijia frowned, the Pearl of the South China Sea, why did you send her the Pearl of the South China Sea?
"The second lady will give you the pearl of the South China Sea. Hongshan also frowned, and put the box on the table in front of Zhuo Yijia as she spoke.
"Well, you know this?" Zhuo Yijia turned his head to look at Hongshan, who also knew the Pearl of the South China Sea?
"The second lady is the daughter of the He family, a merchant in the Southern Commerce, so the second lady always has a lot of rare things, but this pearl of the South China Sea is the second lady's favorite. It can also be regarded as a token of the second room. Because of this pearl, the second lady only gave her own daughter-in-law. ”
"But why give it to you now?" Hongshan's frowning brows did not loosen, and she looked up at Zhuo Yijia.
"You want to succeed me. Zhuo Yijia leaned back in the chair and listened to Hongshan, the emotion in her eyes slowly changed.
She thought that after she became close to Hua Taijun, this matter might come, after all, her biological aunt had passed away, and she recognized that her mother-in-law was still transferred from concubine to concubine, no matter how you look at it, it is all He's kindness.
"Huh?" Hongshan listened and looked at Zhuo Yijia with wide eyes, Miss Guoji?
Waiting for Hongshan to react to what she meant, her face pulled, her young lady is now on the eldest lady's side, why do you want to go back to the second room.
Zhuo Yijia didn't speak, just looked at the pearl of the South China Sea, she didn't think that this would come so early. With the temperament of the second lady He, it shouldn't have been mentioned so early, could it be that there is someone behind her?
Thinking of this, Zhuo Yijia frowned again. Originally, she just wanted to win over Zhuo Jiahua Taijun, and didn't want to interfere too much in the affairs of the Zhuo family's inner courtyard, but now the idea hit her head.
"Go ahead, bring me the purse from the shopkeeper Yan. I'm going to give you a gift back. Zhuo Yijia said to Hongshan. The New Year is approaching, she asked the shopkeeper Yan to make a lot of purses for her to reward the next person, but the shopkeeper Yan asked the head embroiderer of the daughter boudoir to make a lot for her, too delicate to reward to be conspicuous, in addition to the reward to Hongshan, the others are kept. Now comes in handy.
"Good. ”
Hongshan walked into the inner room and took out a large slap purse.
Zhuo Yijia took the purse and took a closer look, the geraniums embroidered on it were open on the brocade surface of the purse, and it looked good in an instant. "You'll choose. ”
Hongshan smiled slyly, "I saw that the purses sent by the daughter boudoir have all styles, so I chose the one that is most unsuitable for the lady." ”
"Well, Shopkeeper Yan is also a thoughtful. In addition to the styles that Zhuo Yijia said, the shopkeeper Yan also made a few more good and bad ones.
"But this is just right for them. Hongshan looked at the purse and smiled. The flower language of geraniums is stupid.
"Well, you go to the eldest lady and ask for some spices. Zhuo Yijia put the purse on the table, looked at the beads that were quietly placed in the box on the side, and said.
Hongshan retreated.
Zhuo Yijia followed out of the courtyard, glanced at Hongshan's figure passing through the martial arts training ground, and then turned around and walked to the side of the courtyard. In Zhuo Yihan's courtyard next to her, there were occasionally one or two grandmothers and big maids sent by the palace coming in and out, but Zhuo Yihan was never seen.
At the entrance of the courtyard was still standing the doorkeeper sent by the Ministry of Rites. From time to time, he glanced at Zhuo Yijia, who was standing not far away.
It should still be a proper etiquette inside. But the eldest sister is a person who knows how to be polite.
Zhuo Yijia looked up at Guang Yulan not far away. This magnolia is very tall, looking straight to the top, and after a while, the neck will be sore.
At this time, the magnolia had not yet flowered, and the cold winter day had already blown away its leaves, leaving only one or two pieces that fell on the branches, crumbling in the wind high up. The branches of the trees stood bare on the road between Zhuo Yijia and Zhuo Yihan's courtyard, looking a little depressed.
"Miss!" Hongshan hurriedly walked over with a cloth bag in her hand and shouted to Zhuo Yijia.
Zhuo Yijia turned his head to look at the magnolia tree and looked at Hongshan not far away.
Zhuo Yihan's grandmother who was in and out of the courtyard heard the shout, and also looked up at Hongshan who was running and Zhuo Yijia who was walking back, and hurriedly lowered her head and walked into the house.
Zhuo Yijia and Hongshan returned to the house, and Hongshan, who had just come in after the cold wind, put the cloth bag on the table and opened it, picked up her hand and sighed.
The cloth bag with the spices gives off a faint fragrance.
Zhuo Yijia sat down on the chair, picked up the purse that had just been placed on the table, untied the tied straps, and put a little spice into it.
"Didn't the eldest lady ask you what you are doing with spices?" Zhuo Yijia checked the spices that contained half a bag inside, took out the South China Sea Pearl on the table and put it in his purse.
"When I asked, I answered truthfully, saying that the young lady was going to make a purse. The eldest lady gave the young lady is good, this is all thanks to the first-class Yuelin incense, as well as lilac dried flowers and Duoduo, and Luo. It's all precious spices. Hongshan stood aside, watching Zhuo Yijia with spices.
Zhuo Yijia packed a pack, picked up the strap and tied the mouth of the purse, lifted it and put it in front of his eyes to look at it, and handed it to Hongshan, "This sachet is well done." Send it to the second lady. ”
