Chapter 79: Gift of Boxes
Wang looked at the scriptures copied by the jade plate in his hand, and tilted his mouth to look at Xue Shi on the side, feeling quite unimpressed.
Although her husband is just a small lizheng, she has been working Mrs. Ru these days, if nothing else, a nine-grade sesame official is not a problem. In this Huaihe area, even if it is a nine-grade official, it can make their family rich for a lifetime.
Wang touched the thick pile of paper, thinking in his heart, if he could win the favor of this county lord, maybe he would ......
Thinking of this, he glanced at Xue's and said disapprerovantly, "Your paper is just ordinary white linen paper, and you are embarrassed to use it to copy scriptures for the county lord, it's really ......."
The Xue clan just held the copied scriptures tighter, and didn't seem to care about Wang's cynicism, "The county lord just looks at our minds." My lord is just a scribe, and his monthly income is limited, and it is already my limit to be able to use white linen paper. The county lord said that day, do what you can, and I did exactly what she commanded. β
"No wonder! Who doesn't know who your prefect is...... Poor see! It's a good thing you didn't use jute paper, otherwise it would be even more rude! However, not everyone uses the jade board well! Thinking of this, Wang had a proud look on his face.
Xue pursed his lips, and although his heart was blocked by Wang's words, he still endured it. She didn't come today to be angry with others.
Before the Wang family could speak, Jiuhui came out and saluted the two, "The two ladies have been waiting for a long time before my grandmother got up." Knowing that the two of you are coming, let me come out and ask Mrs. Lizheng to go in first. Mrs. Xue. You wait. β
I didn't expect the county lord to summon her alone, and he summoned her first! Wang was overjoyed and got up with the copied scriptures. "Aunt Lao is leading the way!"
Jiuhui glanced at Xue's family, and saw that she didn't see her anxiety except for a moment when she spoke, and secretly praised it in her heart, so she led Wang in with a smile.
Ke Xiyuan took the scriptures brought by Wang, looked at a few of them carefully, and raised his eyebrows, "Good words!" I didn't expect the young lady in Madame's house to write so well! This jade plate Xuan. It's not everyone who uses it well. β
Speaking of this, the last trace of uneasiness in Wang's heart was also put down, and his eyes lit up. This county lord. It's a knowledgeable person.
"It's the third girl I came from, and I don't love anything else on weekdays, but I love to write and do some embroidery, which is strange and boring." Wang didn't dare to raise his daughter, and tried to be as humble as possible.
"Madame, this is humbling." , Ke Xiyuan has practiced countless words over the years, how can he not know this jade board Xuan. This jade board is proclaimed, and the next pen must pay attention to a fast and accurate. The main reason is that this paper is extremely absorbent, so people who move the pen slowly, as long as they stop for a while, the ink will seep out. A large ink mass is formed. Therefore, dare to use this kind of paper to copy the scriptures. The third lady of this family still has some talents.
"The county lord of Suwen writes well, and the third lady in the concubine's family is an axe!" , Wang Shi breathed a sigh of relief, the news from the inquiry was correct. She found out early in the morning that the county lord came to the Huai River, and the people around her were most likely to purchase paper and the four treasures of the study, and they also loved to collect calligraphy and paintings. This time, she must have let her daughter show her hands.
"Qiqiao, I gave a set of jewelry to Mrs. Wang that my mother's family sent over during the New Year, and I added a box for the third lady! There is also my new blue sketch, take it to the young lady's cabinet! Ke Xiyuan really appreciated this handwriting, and thought to himself, the Wang family probably also asked for this.
Sure enough, Wang's face showed an expression of ecstasy, and he hurriedly made a big gift, "How dare you accept such a big gift from the county lord?" I already got a lot of good things from the county lord last time, how dare I ask for it again? This time I copied the scriptures to thank the county lord for his appreciation, and I didn't dare to ask for the county lord's reward. β
was named the county lord by Emperor Longqing, and it was not a casual letter. She is a county lord who has a real gold seal and has been written into the gold book. This Wang is just a lady of Lizheng, and when she sees herself, she really wants to make such a big gift.
Ke Xiyuan accepted her salute, "Since you know what I gave it, how dare you refuse?" I said it all, it's a gift for the young lady! Go back and tell Miss SΓΉ that this handwriting is very good, and I just hope that I will continue to stick to it and not abandon it. At a young age, this handwriting is extremely rare. In time, it will come into its own way. β
At this time, the Wang family no longer shirked, and made another big gift, "The concubine will definitely bring the three girls to kowtow to the county lord another day, and thank the county lord for rewarding." β
"Okay, I won't keep you more today, you can go home!" , Ke Xiyuan didn't expect that the Wang family really had such a good daughter, it seems that she still responds to the old saying, people can't be good-looking.
Wang took the things handed by Qiqiao, thanked him a few more words, and then retreated with Jiuhui.
As soon as she came out, she saw Xue looking over nervously, and said with a smile, "It can be seen that the third young lady of my family is more blessed than me, this reward is really a great honor, I am only afraid of our township, our third young lady is the only one." β
Didn't Jiuhui know that the Wang family deliberately said it to the Xue family? smiled, "Mrs. Wang is so blessed to raise the third lady so well." I don't hide that my grandmother rarely praises the girl's handwriting, which shows that the third lady's words are very in the eyes of grandma. After going back, Madame will definitely reward Miss well, and Miss will have something to create in the future. β
"Yes, yes, yes! Thanks to Aunt Jiuhui's reminder, this is not my girl's creation! Wang's trip today has already gotten something beyond imagination, and his steps are a little empty.
"Madam, this set of head jewelry is the most suitable for guests to wear on weekdays, and it is the most fashionable style in the capital. I won't send Mrs. Xue in, I will invite Mrs. Xue in! Jiuhui gradually understood why Ke Xiyuan picked these people out alone, and his admiration for Ke Xiyuan rose to another level.
"Okay, okay, my aunt is busy slowly, I'll go back first." , smiled at Jiuhui, glanced at Xue, a trace of contempt slipped through the corner of his eyes, and left happily.
Jiuhui saw that Xue had heard from the beginning to the end, and had waited for so long, but there was no impatience or envy on his face, and a faint smile appeared on his face, and his tone was also a little sincere, "Grandma said that after waiting for Mrs. for many days, Mrs. will come with me!" Now that no one is disturbing, Madame can speak freely to Grandma. I'm sorry to keep my wife waiting! β
Originally, Xue thought that since the county lord sincerely believed in Buddhism, he must be different from ordinary nobles, and what she asked for might have a glimmer of life. But looking at the county lord's dealings with the Wang family, he already had a retreat in his heart. This county lord seems to be no different from an ordinary noble lady, so do you want to say it?
Looking up at Jiuhui, the gray eyelids lit up a little, and the most genuine smile in the past few days finally appeared on his face, and his nose was a little sour, "Soon, I can see the county lord, what is this time?" (To be continued......)
