Chapter 80: Venting
"Feng Gongzi take a look, how much are these two maids beside me worth from head to toe?"
Feng Renjing asked Ning Yun like this, and then he carefully looked at the colorful moon. Compared with Ning Yun's simplicity, Caiyue is now dressed normally. The maid who came out of the Guogong Mansion naturally can't be ambiguous in her dress, plus Ning Yun has always been generous, and Caiyue has been rewarded on weekdays.
Feng Ren has also done business, and he has seen some of the market. But if you want to say that you want to value Caiyue's body, he really doesn't have the ability, he only has to look at it, and he knows that these things are delicate and detailed, and they are expensive things, but if you want to say the price, he can't do it. Just because of this, it is far beyond the scope of his knowledge.
After thinking about it, Feng Ren still decided to guess ugly, so he said, "Young grandma's things are naturally excellent. Next...... Ahem, these things are a few points better than the best he has ever seen, but as for how much better and how expensive, I can't get it at the bottom. ”
He always remembered to pat Ning Yun's fart, but Ning Yun didn't accept her affection: "The thing was originally mine, and whoever I rewarded it to was whoever, but now it's just Caiyue's." Cui's mother, come and tell this Feng Gongzi what price our Caiyue is worth now. ”
Mother Cui couldn't see a person like Feng Ren, so she wanted to come out and say a few words, and immediately learned from Fang Fengren's proud appearance, and raised her chin and said the same:
"A pair of hairpins on our girl's head, which is wrapped in silk and jade, is the craftsmanship of our top shop in Beijing, Jin Yuzhai, since Feng Gongzi is used to doing business, the market in that place, I must know, there is no thirty or fifty taels, and I can't buy a thing. This is still a pair on our girl's head, Feng Gongzi, how many taels do you say is it worth? ”
Feng Gongzi knew that this golden hairpin was valuable, but he didn't know that it was worth so much. Immediately, I felt that my head was sweating, and I thought that I had taken ten taels of silver to buy a hundred taels of goods, and I didn't have any bottom in my heart.
Mother Cui snorted coldly, and said: "Let's talk about this pair of earrings, although the agate on this is a little smaller, the quality is excellent." How much is the average middle and upper quality worth, Feng Gongzi should know, right? ”
Feng Ren lowered his head and wiped his sweat, and nodded hurriedly: "I know, I know." "Anyway, it's worth ten taels or twenty taels.
"Needless to say, the embroidery on this dress is the most expensive Suzhou embroidery. Feng Gongzi, you must know you if you go south and north. ”
"Recognize, you know." That Su embroidery is now on the market, but it is very valuable.
"The slave is clumsy, but the girl doesn't remember the origin of this golden bracelet in her hand, Feng Gongzi takes a look, can you recognize it?"
Feng Ren cheekily took a step forward, took it in his hand and took a closer look, almost dropping his jaw in shock.
"This ...... This is the palace, the palace? "He knew the little seal engraved on it, and if he was not mistaken, it must have been a gift from the Emperor. The Shi family is the Guogong Mansion, and Ning Yun, as the second young grandmother of the Shi family, is not surprised to get something from the emperor. It's strange that such a valuable thing would be rewarded to a maid? These two young grandmothers are also generous!
Feng Ren's back was soaked with sweat, and he couldn't wipe the sweat on his face, so he only felt extremely embarrassed. Caiyue's body of things add up, far more than the number under his dowry, and he shouted out with pride on his face, no wonder they laughed, it was really a slap in the face!
Caiyue and Yuchai were also frightened, they always knew that the master was generous, but they didn't know that they were so generous. She doesn't like to wear gold and silver, only occasionally wears a few jade things, and the jewelry she doesn't wear, the dresses she doesn't wear, even if they are still brand new, she will give them to her head casually. Especially in the past half a month, she has been particularly generous and casual.
At this time, Ning Yun, who had been bowing her head and drinking tea, spoke: "Feng Gongzi, Caiyue has been by my side since she was a child, and her feelings are different. I also told her a long time ago that if she wants to marry one day, just tell me, I will repay her deed of sale, and add three or four hundred taels of dowry to her, so that she can marry beautifully. ”
These words of three or four hundred taels came out of Ning Yun's mouth, as if they were understated, and the sweat that Feng Ren had finally dissipated came up again, and he just wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into.
Ning Yun hadn't finished speaking, she wasn't prepared to let him go like this.
"I don't think these three or four hundred taels of makeup are enough, I can't take it, I don't think there are even more than me. You have one hundred and fifty taels, and you want to marry the maid next to me, this abacus is good enough, and you deserve to be a person who has walked through the business field! You're embarrassed to swagger and say it, my ears are too embarrassed to listen! ”
Shi Lingfeng had been drinking tea silently beside him, and at this moment he couldn't help but glance up at Ning Yun, with a smile on the corners of his eyebrows and mouth.
In the end, Ning Yun let out a long sigh, got up and said, "That's it, I'm really tired of climbing the mountain today." The ears are not good, and the eyes are spent, how can there be such a ridiculous person? It must be my dream! Mother Cui, help me go back to sleep. She didn't even bother to say "send-off", and she didn't bother to tell Feng Ren.
Back in the room, Shi Lingfeng teased her: "I don't know yet, you are a little rich woman, so generous?" The maids who follow you are so popular, so I, as a husband, can't I be hugged by Jinshan Yinshan? ”
Ning Yun glanced at him and said, "I don't like to wear jewelry, there are so many left and right on weekdays, and the rest are scattered for them." Those things are just left in the ashes of my place, and they are given to them, whether they are sold for subsidies or kept as a dowry, in short, they are of some use. What's more, they are good to me, and I naturally treat them well. ”
Shi Lingfeng nodded, the more he understood Ning Yun, the more he liked her in his heart. He also thought of a question, whether the person who sent Yugong's painting to Luo Yuzhai was her, and if it was her, it would make even more sense why she was so generous. Master Mei listened to his orders, and had already exchanged a pair of Yu Gong's old works plus eight hundred taels of silver for Yu Gong's new works, and handed over the news to the person who sent the paintings, if Yu Gong still has new works in the future, Luo Ying Zhai is willing to fully purchase them.
It seems that in the future, he will be more attentive to his daughter-in-law!
Drove away Feng Ren, who was disappointing, Yuchai and Caiyue returned to Ning Yun's room with joy, especially Caiyue, who looked like she had some kind of treasure, and pulled Ning Yun and asked: "Young grandma, is what he said true, this bracelet is really something from the palace?" Those gold hairpin earrings you rewarded are also so valuable? Also, no wonder the embroidery on this dress is so delicate and beautiful, it turned out to be Suzhou embroidery, how expensive it is! ”
The jade hairpin was also happy, and took off all the things on her body, and put down all the precious ones.
Ning Yun said to them: "I'm angry for Caiyue today, not for anything else, just to let you remember, don't look down on yourself in the future." Since you are the person next to me, I will let you marry in style. ”
Yuchai and Caiyue had red eyes, and nodded in unison.
After this trouble, the sky is getting dark. Shi Lao Guogong and Mrs. Shi also returned to Zhuangzi before dark. Shi Lao Guogong's fish basket has a lot of harvest, large and small live fish, filling the small bamboo basket.
"Didn't you say you were going up to the mountains to pick fruit? Take it out and I'll taste it. "Mrs. Shi has been playing outside for most of the day, her face is flushed at the moment, and she looks very interested, and she looks a lot younger.
Old lady Shi's eyes were sharp, and she had already seen the empty small basket in the corner, so she smiled and said, "Hey, old woman, you don't understand this." The young couple ran up the hill and patronized the intimate play, how can they remember picking fruits? It would be nice to be home before dark! Thy wild fruit, let it not be remembered. ”
In a word, it made Mrs. Shi laugh.
Ning Yun stood up with a red face and said, "Grandfather is making fun of me, and grandmother, you are laughing too!" That's it, I didn't pick the wild fruit, tonight I will atone for my sins and make you fish to eat!" ”
"You can also make fish?" Shi Lingfeng asked with a smile,
"That's natural, not only will you make it, but you will also keep the taste, which you have never tasted before!"
When Mrs. Shi heard this, her face bloomed with joy: "Okay, your grandmother likes to eat fish." I've taken her to eat all the fish made by celebrity chefs from all over the world, and I'll see what other tricks you can make! ”
Ning Yun smiled and turned into the kitchen. She is not prepared to hide her clumsiness, and making fish is also her forte. Before she came to this place, her craftsmanship was praised by everyone. In addition, there are many tricks for making fish in modern times, and any one can be regarded as fresh.
She turned around and went into the kitchen, and Shi Lingfeng actually followed her.
"Go, go, go out and wait for me. Gentleman is far away from cooking, are you following up to do it really? Ning Yun pushed him with her hand.
Shi Lingfeng took her hand and put it on his chest, and said, "I don't know what's wrong, why can't I see enough?" ”
Ning Yun didn't react for a while, thinking that he was going to come to see himself making fish, so he subconsciously asked, "What can't you see enough?" ”
Shi Lingfeng smiled, didn't speak, let go of her, and let her go. I didn't leave, just leaned against the door and watched her quietly. I was thinking in my heart that when I returned to Beijing this time, my illness would be almost better, and I would no longer be able to accompany her like this all day long. Moreover, there are only three years left before the unrest happens, and he still has a lot of things to arrange and arrange, and now is not the time to be lazy. When he thought of this, he was a little reluctant. In the past, he always felt that he was not a child lover, but now he feels that it is because he has not met the right person.
Ning Yun not only made fish, but also made several other side dishes with fresh ingredients in the Zhuangzi. Not only Mrs. Shi was full of praise, but even Mrs. Shi, who has always been very picky about eating, ate an extra bowl of rice and praised it non-stop. Thinking of returning to the Shi family in the future, there are a lot of worries, and there are not many times to please the ancestors like this, so Ning Yun took care of everything, and covered all the food for the next few meals, and moreover, three meals a day, there were many tricks.
Before leaving, Aunt Zheng said that the ancestors had gained a lot of weight, and their complexion was much more ruddy than when they came. Everyone knows that Aunt Zheng is honest and will definitely not do anything to slap horses, so Mrs. Shi was very useful when she heard it, and said with a smile: "It's the old woman, I eat well." Thanks to the freshness of your ingredients, and even more to the good work of my good granddaughter-in-law. ”
Aunt Zheng said yes again and again.
The group took a slow time, and then returned to the capital mansion.
However, after living in Zhuangzi for half a month, a big thing happened in the capital: Ning Yun, the eldest daughter of the Ning family, entered the emperor's eyes in the draft, was named a concubine, and will enter the palace one day.
