Chapter 119: It's a pity for this kid
This is a music box, which is supposed to be the earliest music box. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The workmanship is not exquisite, and the music must be extremely simple.
Seeing that Wang Xiuying was just looking at the thing in her hand in surprise, but she didn't mean to reach out and take it, Mrs. Huangfu thought to herself that the little girl must have never seen this thing, and she didn't know what this rare thing was.
So she looked at Wang Xiuying with a smile, holding the knob of the music box with one hand and turning the knob with the other, and when she let go of the knob, the music sounded, and the timbre was still very good!
Although in Wang Xiuying's eyes, this is just a very simple music box, but it is really a rarity in this world.
As the music sounded, Wang Xiuying's face was filled with surprise and affection.
"This is also a rare thing from the West?" The old lady also thought it was very rare.
It's really rare for this little box to be able to produce music in just a few turns.
Mrs. Huangfu flashed a hint of triumph, although she covered it up very well, but she was still seen by Wang Xiuying.
But this is understandable, after all, this thing is probably only available in this time and space to the Huangfu family who can go to sea to the West.
I saw Mrs. Huangfu say with a smile: "It was brought back by the ship that just came back from the West this time, and it is not worth a few dollars, but as long as the children see it, there is nothing they don't like." Brother Xuan specially kept this one, so that I must hand it over to Miss Five. ”
Mrs. Huangfu saw that Wang Xiuying still had no intention of receiving the music box, and knew that without the old lady's consent, she would not accept the gift, so she simply put the music box in front of the old lady.
The old lady picked it up and looked at it, tried to play with it again, and knew it in her heart.
Although this thing looks rare, it is indeed not a valuable thing, so she smiled and beckoned Wang Xiuying, asked Wang Xiuying to come to her, and handed the music box to Wang Xiuying: "Since it was given to you by the little prince of Huangfu to play with, then you can accept it." And I went to thank Mrs. Huangfu. ”
Wang Xiuying took the music box and turned around Mrs. Huangfu respectfully blessed her body: "Thank you, Mrs. Huangfu, Mrs. Trouble, thank Brother Huangfu for Xiuying, I like this music box very much." ”
Seeing off Mrs. Huangfu, the old lady was also tired, and she didn't prepare to leave Wang Xiuying in Mingxin Hall, and waved Wang Xiuying back.
Wang Xiuying looked at the old lady and seemed to have something to say, but looking at the old lady's tired appearance, she wanted to speak and stopped.
"Sister Ying'er, what's the matter?" The old lady rubbed her slightly swollen forehead and asked.
Wang Xiuying bit her lip, and finally stepped forward and gently placed the bracelet she had selected earlier in front of the old lady: "This is for her granddaughter to give to her grandmother." ”
The old lady glanced at the bracelet, and then stared at Wang Xiuying with heavy eyes, and did not speak for a long time, which made Wang Xiuying's heart beat a drum.
Seeing this bracelet at that time, Wang Xiuying felt that such a bracelet was very suitable for the old lady's age, and it should also be in line with the old lady's wishes, after all, the old lady's eyes fell on this bracelet several times, so she picked it out without hesitation.
But at this time, Wang Xiuying was unsure.
What does the old lady mean by staring at her without saying a word?
"Really for Grandmother?" When Wang Xiuying felt that she couldn't stand it, the old lady spoke.
In an instant, Wang Xiuying's little face lit up, nodded vigorously, and looked at the old lady with bright and crystal eyes: "Really, my granddaughter thinks that this bracelet is the most suitable for grandmother." ”
"Oh, what's the point?" A smile welled up in the old lady's eyes.
Wang Xiuying showed an ignorant smile on her face: "It's all worthy there!" This bracelet seems to be deep and heavy, but it is very transparent to the glazing. Grandmother, you see......"
Saying that, Wang Xiuying turned to the window and raised the bracelet to the window with relatively strong light, and sure enough, the bracelet that originally looked a little heavy seemed much more transparent to the light.
In fact, Wang Xiuying can still say a lot of things about the match between this bracelet and the old lady, but she can't say those words now, after all, it is okay to say one or two at her age, and it will be a bit shocking to say too much.
In the end, the old lady accepted the jade bracelet that Wang Xiuying chose for her, of course, she didn't ask for this jade bracelet in vain, and asked Mama Xu to take Wang Xiuying directly to her private vault to choose two things that Wang Xiuying liked.
So when Mingxintang came out, Wang Xiuying was wearing a freshly picked butterfly bead flower on her head, and in addition to the music box given to her by Huangfu Xuan, there were also two good things selected from the old lady's private treasury.
"Are you saying that the girl picked two long-life locks?" When the old lady heard Mama Xu's reply, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and asked in surprise.
"That's right, on the way to the warehouse, the fifth lady proposed to the old slave that she wanted to choose two longevity locks. The old slave asked her who she was picking, and Miss Fifth said that she was choosing for her two younger brothers. Mama Xu will go to the treasury to select the process and tell the old lady in detail.
"Two younger brothers? She was so sure that the baby in Shen's belly was a boy? The old lady was even more surprised, although she had already asked Wen Po to touch the fetus for both the Zhang family and the Shen family, and nine out of ten of the fetuses in their arms were male fetuses, but she didn't tell anyone about this result except for Mama Xu beside her.
Mama Xu served the old lady as a child, and the old lady was naturally trustworthy to her, but where did Wang Xiuying get the news, so sure that it was the younger brother in Shen's belly and not the younger sister?
Mama Xu laughed: "The old slave was also surprised, so he asked Miss Five." Guess what Miss Five said? ”
Speaking of this, Mama Xu paused, it seemed that she really had the intention of letting the old lady guess it, but the pause was only for a moment, how could she let the old lady guess what a little girl was thinking.
So Mama Xu told the old lady about Wang Xiuying's younger brothers and sisters.
The old lady listened to it silently for a moment, and sighed: "Alas, it's a pity for this child! ”
Mama Xu was stunned, in the end, the old man who had been serving the old lady for decades, and soon understood what the old lady meant, she opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything, only sighed secretly.
The matter of the second room will be related to the Lin family, as a slave, it is better for her not to talk too much.
The master and servant didn't speak for a while, the atmosphere in the room was a little gloomy, and there was the sound of water talking to people outside, it should be that lunch was delivered from the kitchen.
The old lady had lunch but didn't go to the lunch break like going to school, but half-crooked on the couch and didn't know what to think, and only after a long time did she hear her sigh faintly: "The body of the second family has not improved, but I am afraid that time is running out, and with the body of the second family, the matter of Shen's wife can not be delayed any longer."
Although the uncle of the Shen family is not yet prominent, he can be promoted to his current official position in just over ten years, even if there is Yuan Ge Lao pushing behind, it is impossible for him to be incapable.
Therefore, making good use of the Shen family will be of great benefit to the second child, and it will also be beneficial to the Bofu.
But in my heart, alas, ......"
With a long sigh, I couldn't sigh the melancholy, helplessness, and deep disappointment in the Lin family.
