Chapter 74: Spicy Goods
After everyone sat down in their own order, Ke Xiyuan ordered Qiqiao to bring up the meeting gift.
"These are all gadgets in Beijing, and I don't know the preferences of a few people, so I weighed and chose a few, and the ladies have nothing to do, so they can play. If there is a lady in the house, you can also make it fresh. Ke Xiyuan was in the inner room just now, so she naturally knew what was going on here, and she was really interested in the prefect's wife, Wu.
She also inquired about one or two before choosing this Wu family. She was curious about what kind of woman was in charge of the family behind Liu Yuan's mediocre achievements and mediocre achievements. I took a closer look at Wu's dress, but I had a plan in my heart.
Qiqiao handed the three gifts that had been prepared a long time ago to the three of them, and then returned to Ke Xiyuan's side, standing with Jiuhui alone.
Wu lowered his head and hooked his lips, looked at his own, and glanced to the side again. A fan, a box of womb flowers, a pair of red jade and gold hairpins, and a few strings of glass beads. It's nothing else, the rarest thing is the fan. Wu knows that there are a lot of good things in the Huai River area, but such a fan is rare. It is said that they were all brought back by sea, and the quantities were extremely limited. Hooked his lips, he picked up the fan and put it in his hand, and handed the other things to the girl he brought.
Ke Xiyuan took the expressions of the three of them into his eyes, and he knew it even more clearly in his heart. Wu took the fan, and he was a knowledgeable person; Wang's observation of the golden hairpin is obviously a normal example of a small family; Xue Shi rubbed the strings of glass beads, and his expression was very sad. Speaking of this greeting gift, Ke Xiyuan couldn't help but think of Lu's goodness. These things were all prepared by the Lu family for her, but she was afraid of such a meeting. She couldn't get a gift that could hold the scene down. This Huai River area is rich, and there are many valuables, and the picture is rare and fresh. Not to mention the fan. Just that box of uterine flowers, this Huai River area, it is difficult to have such a box. These ladies took them back as favors, and they were all excellent. Lu's is indeed a woman who is naturally suitable for the inner house.
"County Lord, these are too valuable." , Wang put down the pair of golden hairpins. I was very happy in my heart. This pair of gold hairpins is of the highest quality in terms of fineness and workmanship. sighed in his heart, sure enough, the nobles from the capital. It's just not ordinary.
"It's just an ordinary thing, as long as the ladies like it." , Ke Xiyuan paused and continued. "Don't hide it from the three. This time, I invited the three of them to come and ask for something. ”
Seeing that both the Xue family and the Wang family pricked up their ears, the Wu family continued to play with the fan, and said with a smile, "Originally, I came to Huaihe this time to follow the edict to pray for blessings and visit the abbot of Wukong, but Neiko was unwell, and I had to take care of many things myself." The ladies also saw that I only brought two girls, two daughters-in-law and two mothers-in-law out this time. Those two girls were newly bought and should not be used. The two people around me are in charge of my entire yard, and the mothers-in-law are rude. Therefore, some work must be relied on by the ladies. ”
"The county lord just orders, as long as the county lord doesn't think I'm stupid, I'm willing to serve the county lord." , Wang was the first to speak, and glanced at Xue with some pride.
"Because the scriptures are burned every day, I have always copied them myself. But this mundane thing is entangled, so it is completely empty. I have to ask the ladies to help me find a way to help me copy the scriptures! As far as I know, ladies and gentlemen are also very obedient to the Dharma on weekdays, so let's take it all as a blessing this time! Ke Xiyuan had already thought about what banner to fly, so the words were smooth.
Wang was worried that he didn't have a chance to get close to the county lord, and when he heard that there was this opportunity, he hurriedly stood up, "The county lord is too polite, these little things should have been shared by someone for you a long time ago!" When I go back today, I will personally take the girls in the house to copy the scriptures, and I will send them to the county lord in a few days. ”
Xue bit his lip, and finally took his eyes back from the strings of glass beads, "County Lord, I am also willing to serve." ”
Wu smiled, fanned, and said a little casually, "The county lord is only afraid that he has found the right two, but he has chosen me by mistake." Who doesn't know, I'm the most patient to do this. If the county lord doesn't give up, a few girls in my house can write well, and it will be no problem to copy a few scriptures. ”
Ke Xiyuan looked at Wu's appearance, and almost broke the gong, "Since the three of them are willing, then I can rest assured." As long as no one copies thirty scriptures, the monks in the temple will not be allowed to recite the merits of a few ladies! ”
Wang is the happiest, she comes to Yunyin Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha on weekdays, and she can't see the abbot at all. This time, I can help Ke Xiyuan copy the scriptures, and the person who does this is the abbot of Wukong. As long as I thought that Abbot Wukong was going to read a few words, I suddenly felt that the whole heart was comfortable.
"The county lord can rest assured, the concubine will not miss the county lord's business. The county lord just takes good care of Commander Zhou, and leave such trivial matters to us! Wang's fight was extremely smooth, and the smile on his face couldn't be concealed at all.
Wu snorted coldly, "Mrs. Li Zheng has a lot to say today!" ”
Wang almost bit her tongue, how could she forget that there was a wicked woman next to her! The smile on his face immediately retracted a little, and he said with a smile, "It's not that I watched the county lord fall in love, and I didn't realize it for a while, so I said a few more words." As you know, Mrs. Prefect, I have always been like this. ”
Wu glanced at her a few times, looked at a string of glass beads in Xue's hand and abruptly added Ke Yu beads, turned around a few times in his heart, and stood up, "County Lord, since I have already won the task, then I will go back and tell the girls to start copying." ”
The Wu family wants to leave, and the Wang family and the Xue family naturally don't want to stay long. The two of them have to look at Wu's face to some extent.
Ke Xiyuan's smile did not decrease, "This is very good, Madame walks slowly." ”
Wu smiled at Ke Xiyuan, and when he turned around, he saw Wang's somewhat resentful face, and immediately took Wang's hand, "Mrs. Lizheng, look at me, I am the most warm-hearted." You said that you were going to marry a girl in the house, no matter how I thought about it, I felt unstable. Let's go, let's go to your house to see the girl, and add a gift by the way! ”、
The Wang family just wanted to keep it and say something, and after listening to Wu's words, he had no choice, and thought that he would come over to meet the county lord when the scriptures were copied. He saluted Ke Xiyuan, "County lord, the concubine will go back to arrange for the time being, and then come over to see the county lord after copying it." ”
Ke Xiyuan's interest in the Wu family is getting stronger and stronger, such a wonderful person is actually a spicy product in everyone's mouth. Seeing that the Xue family and the Wang family avoided her, they became more and more interested in her.
"Go ahead! Don't bother the prefect's wife to go to the house! In this matter, there are also Mrs. Lao Zhifu and Mrs. Li Zheng! Ke Xiyuan served the tea and sent it off.
The Wang family glanced at the Xue family, and was unwilling in his heart, but he could only follow the Wu family out of the door.
Seeing that the Wu family and the Wang family were gone, the Xue family stood up suddenly and knelt down again, "County lord, the concubine has something to ask for!" ”
Ke Xiyuan hooked her lips, and her brows loosened even more. Things are more smooth than imagined. (To be continued......)
