Chapter 155: Double Happiness Comes to the Door
The wedding date is set for August 30, and now it is the end of July, and the days are very rushed, and there are many things to prepare. (.advertisement)
That day, after getting together with Hu Lingling, Hong Qi threw himself into infinite busyness. Buying dowries, rushing to make wedding dresses, and jewelry is now a little too late. Generally, the craftsmanship of the goldsmith in the shop is not looked down on by the red family, and those good ones, such as the master in the Linglong Pavilion like Hu Lingling, have been lined up for two or three months. Even if Hu Lingling's personal relationship with Red Seven is good, it is impossible to let those go and catch up with Red Qi's list first.
After all, the business is based on integrity, and if it loses integrity, the business will not be able to continue.
Full of guilt, she asked the shopkeeper to take out all the treasures that Linglong Pavilion had treasured for many years, and wanted to pick them up for Red Qi. The shopkeeper's face turned white.
These things, but where their Linglong Pavilion has been for more than a hundred years, selling one is one less, and waiting for leisure is just one outside. If it's all sold, it's too late to cry. After all, a good work, in addition to having good materials, also has a flash of inspiration from the master, or a coincidence, that is, if the same master makes the same one again, they may not be able to make it again.
Moreover, looking at Hu Lingling's posture, where is it to be sold, it is simply like a gift to be sent.
This, this......
The old shopkeeper's legs were weak.
Fortunately, Hong Qi refused, otherwise, the old shopkeeper would have fainted.
Hong Qi doesn't really care about the dowry or anything, it's just to follow the local customs, where can I use such a good thing. She picked out some fine gold jewelry at random, but none of the rare things were touched. Moreover, the shopkeeper must calculate the market price with her, otherwise, she will not want these things, and would rather go to other houses to buy them.
The old shopkeeper let out a long breath and went to settle the account happily.
Hu Lingling pouted.
"Boss, are you looking down on me? I am the only daughter in our family, and from now on, this qiē will be mine. When you get married, what is it if I send you something? ”
Moreover, she told her father about it.
Master Hu also agreed. Although the Hu family has a rich family background and has some connections in the capital, otherwise, they would not be able to open this exquisite pavilion. However, most of these relationships were bought with silver, and those who were in power still looked down on them in their hearts while squandering their money.
Like the Qionghua post of this Qionghua banquet, Master Hu doesn't know how many people he trusted, but it was still empty. In the end, someone suddenly took the post to sell, and then I got one.
For Zhang Zhang, Master Hu is willing to spend one or two hundred thousand silver, for what? I don't expect Hu Lingling to make friends with some daughters of powerful families, some friendships, it is best to be able to get through them in the future, raise their worth, and marry into a famous family. When the time comes, with a backer, the Hu family, who would dare to bully arbitrarily?
Now, even if there is an errand in Jing Zhaoyin's yamen, they have to make a good offering, one master at a time, and they dare not offend.
Now, Hong Qi is going to marry Gu Fei of the Taishi Mansion, not to mention that the old Taishi is deeply respected by the emperor, even Gu Fei himself is also a person who can speak in front of the princes, and he has a great future in the future, and he has the Xie family as a backer. Hu Lingling is good friends with Hong Qi, and those people, no matter how big they open their mouths to the Hu family, they will have to weigh them. If Hongqi pulls Hu Lingling with the strings, he can marry into the Xie family......
Master Hu was about to wake up laughing in his dreams.
That's a thousand-year-old family, the incomparably noble Xie family.
Of course, what kind of grandson of the family, Master Hu doesn't dare to think about it, even those poor concubines in the branches can also be, as long as they read well, they can have some interest. The Hu family has never lacked family wealth.
Therefore, this time, Mr. Hu, who has always been stingy, is very generous. Although businessmen are profitable, but when the business is done to the Hu family, it is even more clear that sometimes, there is only by giving up. If you are blindly reluctant, I am afraid that when the time comes, let alone make more money, I don't know when my net worth will be gone.
Hong Qi smiled: "Haven't you heard a word? Brothers settle accounts. It can be seen that even between brothers, once they are involved in these money and interests, after a long time, there will be many suspicions, not to mention others? If you and I are just a temporary friendship, then forget it; If you want to go on for a long time, you listen to me. Otherwise, in the future, I won't dare to step on the threshold here a second time. ”
Hu Lingling had no choice, so he had to rely on her.
When I went back, I was still a little sullen and felt a little hurt, did Hong Qi dislike her low background in her heart, so she refused to accept her things?
When Master Hu saw Hu Lingling happily going, but when he came back, he had this expression, so he called his wife to ask her what happened. Hu Lingling told her mother aggrievedly. She is really sincere to Hong Qi, she only feels that all the women she has seen are not as good as Hong Qi, Jiang Qin and Zhan Feng are good friends who grew up together, but they simply admire Hong Qi.
Being rejected by her is sadder than anything else.
When Mrs. Hu heard this, she felt a burst of relief in her heart.
This kid has made a very good friend this time, and I hope that in the future, I can watch others behave like this, and I can also learn more points.
"Silly boy, what is really good for you is what is good for you. If you think about it, your cousins and cousins who often come to our house, you often give them things, and they all happily accept them and never refuse. They are also very good to you, why have you never valued them as much as Miss Hong? ”
Hu Lingling thought about it and seemed to understand a little, but he still muttered: "How can they compare with the red boss and look good?" Talented? Heaven and earth. I'm not going to be because of that."
Mrs. Hu smiled slightly, and didn't say anything more, with Hu Lingling's intelligence, she could naturally figure it out gradually by herself.
When I went back and told Master Hu about this, Master Hu was also full of emotion, but said to Mrs. Hu: "I originally thought that the Hong family was just a talented ancestor and could barely be regarded as a poet and scholar, but in fact, after several generations, it is estimated that there is no difference from the merchants." When they first came to the capital, they spent a lot of money, and they must be nervous at hand, so at this time, sending charcoal in the fire and sending more things that are good for silver will definitely make them very grateful. Looking at this Miss Hongqi's behavior now, in the case like last time, she could still think about Lingling's reputation, she was a smart and affectionate person, and she had a resolute personality; This time, I was not confused by profit at all. The family that can raise such a girl, for the sake of it, if they blindly make friends with profit, they will fall behind. Madam, I think so, the boxes we prepared earlier must be replaced, not too thick, and not too vulgar, so as not to be looked down upon. When sending the box, let's both go, carefully observe the old ladies and gentlemen of that family, if it is really a good family, we will have more snacks in the future. I can't say, our Hu family's turnover is right here. ”
Mrs. Hu responded with a smile, and she was also very concerned about this matter in her heart.
Over the years, they have worked those famous families, but they have no effect, others just treat them as silver, and no one really takes them seriously.
This red family may be an opportunity.
On the day of the box, it was very lively, needless to say, the Runan Palace, the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, and almost all the people who had some friendship with the Hong family came. Among them, there are some people who avoided the red family a few days ago. At this time, when I saw that the Hong family had become the in-laws of the Taishi Mansion, and the relationship with the Xie family had also climbed, I immediately surrounded it again.
Of course, the Hong family will not sweep the face of these people, and they will all receive them well, but in their hearts, who is worth paying and who is coping, naturally there are numbers.
This incident can be regarded as a test of these connections that have been built up these days. Like the scholars in the palace, they were at the head of the wind and said a lot of good things for the Hong family; Of course, there are also those who are avoided and those who fall into the ground.
Mrs. Ning Yuanhou came this time, with her eldest daughter-in-law Zhao, Honger because she had been vomiting badly recently, and she was a little bad, so she didn't come, so she only asked Zhao to bring things. Zhao's appearance can only be said to be delicate, far worse than the girl of the Hong family, but she is dignified and generous, and she is kind, and she looks like a good person.
The third wife is a little troubled in her heart, in such a situation a few days ago, as an in-law, it is good to send a letter to condole. But this Ningyuan Marquis Mansion was stunned and didn't move at all. It's over, but it's coming.
However, even if he has an idea in his heart, where does his daughter dare to offend in someone's house, he is still very courteous. It's Red Eight, and I'm a little angry. Zhao praised her with a smile: "It's really the younger sister of the second brother and sister, and she looks so good, let me see, it's a few points stronger than the second brother and sister, it's really loved." ”
Hongba replied coldly: "Don't dare to be." ”
No more words.
She has always been lively and talkative, but she was a stuffy gourd for a while, which made Zhao slightly embarrassed. Fortunately, the third wife quickly took over the conversation and rounded up the matter. I felt a little sad in my heart.
This daughter, although she is also smart, is the only one who has this temper, alas, I really don't know what kind of family to marry her. Thinking that she had whimsically wanted her to marry into the Zhou family instead of Hong Qi, she didn't succeed, otherwise, how could she survive in a big family with this character.
In the past, when I was in Qinghe County, the girl of the Hong family was a family with a hundred women, and the Hong family was also a first-class family.
But when she arrived in the capital and experienced these things, the third wife's competitive heart was a lot weaker.
Nowadays, I just hope that it is a solid and kind family, and the population is as simple as the Taishifu. The rights and wrongs of those big families, just listening to them, make people scared.
In comparison, the Red family is like a comfortable nest.
The palace of Runan came to Hongda and Zhu Jinghan, the prince of Runan, the king of Runan was recruited into the palace by the emperor early in the morning, and recently, the emperor's body seems to be a little bad. Hongda has a big belly, and her body has been very good recently, so she came to join in the fun. However, there was a quarrel outside, so she came to Hong Qi to rest, talk and laugh with the sisters, and watch them add makeup to Hong Qi.
Generally, it is some gold and silver jewelry, jade pendants and the like. Red Five gave a hairpin, inlaid with rubies; Red Eight is a pearl flower, bright and dazzling; Red Nine gave the right earrings; Hongsan gave her a handmade silk flower, which was inlaid with fine and dense pearls, which was very beautiful and chic, which made the ladies present marvel for a while. Hongsan responded with a smile. Several other concubines of the Hong family, Ruoxi and Ruoxia of the Runan Palace, as well as Liu Ruyi, Ning Cairuo, Wu Qunqun, Jiang Qin, etc., also expressed their own opinions, and even Miss Wu of the university scholar family in the palace, Miss He of the Dali Siqing family, etc., who did not have much friendship with Red Seven, for the sake of Red Nine and Red Eight, they also sent things over.
And Hu Lingling learned a lesson this time and gave Hongqi a jade hairpin that she often wears, which is not very valuable, compared to the last thing, but the shape is exquisite and chic, which Hu Lingling likes very much. This time, Hong Qier accepted it without saying a word, and was put on her head on the spot by Hu Lingling, and Hu Lingling smiled happily.
When everyone was talking and laughing around Hong Qi, Hong Da got out of bed to change clothes and came back, but suddenly covered her stomach, her face was full of pain, she was about to give birth. Hong Qi hurriedly called someone to go to Runan Wangfu to pick up the midwife, and that night, Hongda gave birth to a baby boy, and the mother and child were safe.
Red family, double happiness. And finally took a breath and went to the room, Xia Xi took a box with a puzzled face, saying that someone designated it for Red Qi. Red Seven opened, and the dim room was suddenly filled with brilliance.
