Chapter 29: The Gift
Jin Shushang felt sad about himself, and heard a knock on the door, it was Shu Xiang and Shu He who brought two third-class maids to clean up the room. Because it was Shang Wanyan's boudoir and cage to be cleaned up, Shu Xiang Shuhe was worried that the rough mother-in-law and the little maid would break things clumsily, so she asked them to clean up in the yard and did not bring them in.
Shang Wanyan glanced behind Shu Xiang and Shu He, but did not see Shu Yu and Shu Yin, the corners of her mouth hooked up a mocking smile, and asked casually: "Shu Yu and Shu Yin followed Liu Erniang to Aunt Gu's side to help?" ”
Shu Xiang frowned almost inaudibly, and her tone was also a little indignant: "What do you say, Aunt Gu doesn't have enough manpower over there, I'm afraid that I forgot who I am!" ”
Although Shu Xiang doesn't know kung fu, her temperament is a little domineering, and she doesn't have so many scruples when she speaks.
"They have forgotten whose maid they are, but I, the master, have not." Shang Wanyan said lightly, "You and Shuhe will take people to put all the things in the cage together, what everyone has done, I don't say it in my mouth, but I know it better than anyone else in my heart, you can rest assured." ”
Shu Xiang said this to remind her young lady, but when she heard Shang Wanyan say this, the indignation in her heart dissipated a lot, and she turned around and assigned the work. Clothes and jewelry and other valuable things, Shu Xiang and Shu He were not at ease to let Tan Ti and Tan Ying do it, and they sorted it out themselves.
Although the room was busy, it was well organized, and Shang Wanyan was a little distracted. Thinking in his heart, no wonder Jinshu glanced at the two of them, and they were really smart and clever.
Thinking that he had never seen Shuxiang and Shuhe in his previous life, the two of them should have died in the fox's mouth, and he hated Aunt Gu a little more in his heart.
Jin Shu wanted to ask Shang Wanyan what to do with the vacant position of the first-class maid after such an arrangement, is it really up to the second lady to bring someone to choose for them? Or do you simply promote one from Shuxiang and Shuhe?
It's just that there are not only Shuxiang and Shuhe in this room, but also Tanti and Tanying, and this can't be asked in front of them anyway.
I had to put away my thoughts, got a small stove for Shang Wanyan to hold, and stepped forward to instruct Shu Xiang and the others to move the furnishings in the room a little.
She knew Shang Wanyan's preferences, and with such a move, Shang Wanyan's eyes really had a little more smile. After all, it is your own boudoir, and it looks pleasing to the eye, and your mood will be much more comfortable.
The sky has gradually darkened, Shang Wanyan and Shang Wanyi live in the corner of the Shuchun courtyard planted two plum trees, the fragrance hits people, the wind blows, the whole yard is dyed with this rich fragrance.
Shang Wanyan stared out the window, and couldn't help but say to Jinshu: "Those literati always like to use 'dark fragrance floating' to describe plum blossoms, if you want me to say, they must have forgotten that there is such a variety as plum blossoms." ”
Jin Shu pursed his lips and smiled: "They don't know, Miss might as well write a poem so that she can teach them to know!" ”
Shang Wanyan smiled: "What is this called!" What do I do to write poems to show them! Besides, even if it's a poem, it's still a thing in the boudoir, how can it be circulated! ”
Jin Shu pouted: "What is this, I heard that the noble ladies in Beijing have to hold poetry meetings when the flowers bloom on weekdays, poetry meetings when it snows, poetry meetings when spring breaks, and poetry meetings when it's hot...... Very elegant. Wasn't Princess Jiayang also famous! They can, and if the young lady is so literate, she can naturally do it. ”
The maid of Jinshu spoke more and more exaggeratedly, and even Princess Jiayang compared it with Shang Wanyan, and Shang Wanyan couldn't cry or laugh for a while. was about to speak, when he suddenly heard someone laughing heartily outside the door: "Who has literary talent?" I want to see and learn. ”
Then I saw the door of the room being pushed open, and a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old walked in, with dark skin, strong muscles wrapped under his cotton clothes, and swordsman's eyebrows and starry eyes, giving people a feeling of the power of the sun. He was followed by a girl about eleven years old, wearing a pink jacket skirt, with a few velvety palace flowers pinned to her head, and two pear vortices when she smiled, which was easy for people who met for the first time to have a good impression of her.
Shang Wanyan's eyes lit up when she saw the young man, and she was a little excited, and when she saw the girl behind the young man, the excitement in her eyes slowly faded.
The two people in front of him, one is Shang Xizhou, the brother of Shang Wanyan's relatives, and the other is her sister-in-law, Aunt Yue's daughter, and Shang Wanyu, the third lady of the Shang family.
Shang Xizhou is still looking forward to this sister she saw more than ten years ago, she just returned home with Shang Wanyan, and when she heard that Shang Wanyan had arrived, she regretted it as if she was something, she knew that Shang Wanyan was here today, and she said that she would not accompany Shang Wanyu to incense.
He was completely unfamiliar with Shang Wanyan's appearance, but before he opened the door, he had already inquired clearly that this was the house where Shang Wanyan lived.
When he saw the girl sitting by the window, Shang Xizhou was full of joy and softness, thinking in his heart that no matter what this little lady looked like, she was his half-sister and half-mother, and her mother was gone, so he must take good care of her sister. When Shang Wanyan heard his voice and turned around, her eyes were bright, Shang Xizhou immediately felt that there was no one in the world who could compare to his sister.
A sense of pride rose in my heart.
Shang Wanyan thought about it, got up and nodded at Shang Xizhou and Shang Wanyu. Don't blame her for being cold, she was looking forward to seeing this brother before, and now when she sees him standing with Shang Wanyi, she remembers that Shang Xizhou in the previous life was very protective of Shang Wanyi, although he would teach Shang Wanyi for her, but for Shang Wanyi, he was unconditionally protective of him.
In the cold winter of that year, in order to please Shang Wanyi, Shang Wanyi pretended to accidentally push her into the lotus pond, Shang Xizhou saw it, but did not say anything about Shang Wanyi, but found all kinds of excuses to excuse Shang Wanyi.
Shang Wanyan felt sad in her heart, they are also brother and sister, they have been together in the northwest for more than ten years!
Shang Xizhou saw that Shang Wanyan's attitude was not as enthusiastic as he imagined, so he thought that he had scared her, so he hurriedly pointed at himself and introduced: "Yuan Niang, do you remember me?" I'm your brother! ”
In a word, the injustice in Shang Wan's heart was immediately smoothed out. What if he protects Shang Wanyi? He is his own brother after all!
hooked the corners of his mouth, and was about to catch up, when he saw Shang Wanyu suddenly emerge from behind Shang Xizhou, took Shang Xizhou's arm and winked at Shang Wanzhou, the pear vortex at the corner of his mouth loomed, and his tone was sweet and flattering: "Big sister, have you heard of Yi'er?" ”
looks innocent and cute, as if Shang Wanyan is a big mistake if she says she doesn't know.
Shang Wanyan looked at her posture, and felt disgusted for a while, and she didn't have the idea of talking to Shang Xizhou more and getting closer, so she casually picked up the two brocade boxes placed on the high table and stepped forward in a few steps.
First, he handed a brocade box inlaid with gems to Shang Wanyi, with a polite smile on his face, and said, "The third sister is cute and cute, how can I, the big sister, not hear of it." This is a specialty that the big sister brought to you from Pengzhou, it's not worth much, it's exquisite, you can play with it! ”
It is really a specialty of Pengzhou, and it is sold in the streets and alleys, that is, the ordinary brocade box is inlaid with a lot of cheap gemstones, which looks exquisite and extremely jeweled, but it is really not a valuable thing.
Shang Wanqi was born in the northwest, and recently went to Jindu with Shang Zhizhang, and did not know the situation in Pengzhou.
Hearing Shang Wanyan say that she wanted to give it to her, her impression of Shang Wanyan immediately improved.
Shang Wanyan didn't care about her reaction, and handed another brocade box to Shang Xizhou in her hand, when she looked at Shang Xizhou, her eyes warmed a little, and said: "I haven't seen it for more than ten years, and I don't know what my brother likes, but I just thought that most men like weapons, so I brought a dagger for my brother." ”
Shang Xizhou saw that his sister had prepared a gift for him, and his heart was immediately as happy as if he was something, and after being happy, a feeling of chagrin rose in his heart, and he looked at Shang Wanyan's eyes with some guilt: "Sister Yan, my brother is really incompetent, and he didn't even prepare a meeting gift for you." ”
In fact, he prepared, he didn't know what girls of this age liked, and he felt that it was too unreliable to ask Shang Wanyi, so he begged his new friend after returning to Jindu, Han Yu, the nephew of Mrs. Zhong, to inquire with his thirteen-year-old cousin, and chose a gold-inlaid jade tassel hairpin, but he didn't want to be seen by Shang Wanyi, when it was a birthday gift prepared for her in advance, he asked for it.
He couldn't compete with his third sister for a pair of hairpins, so he had to press the displeasure in his heart and go to the gold and jade shop to order a better pair, the craftsman was in a hurry, and he couldn't get it until tomorrow.
I didn't expect Shang Wanyan to arrive today.
Shang Wanyan naturally didn't know about the twists and turns, so when Shang Xizhou really didn't think of preparing a meeting gift for her, she smiled and said, "I've met left and right, who cares about what gifts?" ”
Then he glanced at the brocade box that Shang Xizhou was holding tightly in his hand, and said: "You may not like the dagger, if you don't like it, you don't have to force it, take it and give it away, or let the maids put it away!" ”
Men who practice martial arts in the Great Qi Kingdom have the habit of hanging a dagger around their waists. Shang Xizhou heard Shang Wanyan's words, and felt sad for a while, feeling that he had just met and hurt his sister's heart, so he couldn't help blurting out and promised: "Don't worry, I'll replace the dagger on my waist when I go back, I have a few friends, and I don't have a sister at home, let them know that the dagger on my waist is the dagger sent by my sister, and I don't know how much to envy me!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Shang Wanyi, who was originally quite happy, immediately darkened his face. The dagger hanging on Shang Xizhou's waist at this time was given by her, and the pattern on the dagger sheath was melted by her personally!
