Chapter Seventy-Eight: Consultation
Looking at the young chamberlain's smiling eyebrows, Su Ruizhi was relieved until this time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The brightly armored Imperial Guards frightened him.
Standing up and taking the roll of yellow silk, Su Ruizhi respectfully welcomed the chamberlain into the hall, ordered the girls to serve tea, and handed over two red envelopes, one large and one small, and then smiled and talked to him.
The waiter took the red envelope calmly, pinched it quietly, and then put it into his sleeve, and the smile on his face became even stronger.
"My father-in-law has worked quite hard here, a little meaningful, and I hope my father-in-law will not dislike it." Su Ruizhi arched his hand towards the inner attendant, and his words were extremely polite.
is different from treating the eldest grandson Wuji, Su Ruizhi is often more respectful and respectful when dealing with these internal officials. Those who are always waiting in the palace are the least to be offended.
Since the merchant did not specifically explain Wu Meiniang's affairs, Su Ruizhi did not know much about the relationship between the new Wu Zhaoyi and the merchant, and suddenly received such a generous reward, which made him a little apprehensive.
"Su Gongzi is polite!" The waiter smiled and raised the teacup in his hand at Su Ruizhi.
Since following Wu Zhaoyi now, his position in the palace can be said to be rising, almost straight to the clouds, and he attaches great importance to this rare mission out of the palace.
Although his master didn't say it explicitly, just looking at the box that was so precious that he sent the Imperial Forest Army to protect it, he could know the importance of the person who received the gift, so he volunteered to take this errand, only hoping that this time he could earn some face for himself in front of Wu Zhaoyi, and it would be convenient to find a better background in the future.
The two people in the flower hall knocked on the side with a smile on their faces, while the merchant who took the will and returned to the boudoir frowned slightly.
Looking at the little servants who carried the inconspicuous wooden box into the boudoir and panted tiredly, the merchant couldn't help muttering in his heart: What did this Mei Niang get here? How can it be so heavy?
Seeing that the little guys who put down the box seemed to be unloading a heavy burden, Green Sleeves hurriedly waved his hand and sent everyone out, and then helped the little girl's hand to approach the dark and heavy box.
The box is not big, only two feet high and three feet wide, the whole body is pitch black, with a luster of brushed tung oil, the green sleeves reached out and touched it carefully, and said with some surprise: "This box is ebony!" ”
The merchant smiled disappreliantly, what Wu Meiniang took out from the palace would not be bad.
Taking a brass key from the little girl's hand, the merchant looked at the lock on the mouth of the box for a while, put the key into the lock hole, and only heard a "pop", and the lock cylinder popped open in the eyes of the two.
As soon as the heavy lid of the box was lifted, a faint brilliance spread out in the room, and even in the daytime, the halo reflected the two merchants and green sleeves in front of the box with an extra layer of lustrous treasure light.
When it came time to see the contents of the box, even the merchants with much wider horizons than the green sleeves couldn't help but gasp.
The small box is divided into three tiers, each with different things.
The first layer is just a shallow wooden lattice, in which there are ten pieces of jade walls the size of adult palms, the jade is crystal clear and the color is pure, each piece is the best Hetian jade, even if it is only ten pieces, it is already priceless.
The second layer is a little deeper, but inside is full of longan-sized southern pearls, in this era when pearls can only rely on manual pearl diving, such a grid of pearls is undoubtedly a good thing that money has nowhere to buy.
And the things on the third layer made the merchants speechless. The entire third layer is about the largest layer of space, but there are two areas of red and bright brocade cloth, look at the material and weaver, it is undoubtedly a very high-quality fabric, and it is very suitable for making a wedding dress!
Looking at the pearl jade wall of this box, the merchant only felt that he didn't know what to say, and the green sleeves on the side did not know the relationship between Wu Meiniang and the merchant, and after looking at the generous gift of this box, he felt that those round and slippery Nanzhu rolled down from between his fingers into the box, not only did he not feel happy but a little frightened.
The nobles in the palace will never give such a generous reward for no reason! Even when the country was founded, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to see these valuable things!
"This ...... What does the martial lady in this palace think? How did you think of using such a valuable thing to add makeup to you? Green Sleeve picked up a bead and looked at it carefully, trying to see something.
"I don't know!" Shang Shang smiled faintly.
Wu Meiniang is expressing her gratitude and congratulations to her in this way, which she can understand! It's just that this thing is indeed a little too precious, if she knew that she gave these things, she wouldn't accept it if she was killed!
Grabbing a handful of beads from the box, listening to the crisp sound of those small round things making a "ding ding dongdong" in the box, the merchant shook his head slightly, such a reward is beyond the norm after all!
"That'...... It won't be a problem, right? Green Sleeves looked at the merchant with some uneasiness, and one hand subconsciously protected his lower abdomen.
As a mother, you will always want to protect your child at the first time.
Hearing the voice of the green sleeves, Su Ruizhi, who opened the curtain from outside the door and entered the door, frowned slightly.
In the flower hall, I had an official conversation with the inner chamberlain for a long time, and finally sent people away, but the things I inquired about were extremely limited, and I only knew that this Wu Zhaoyi in the palace attached great importance to this makeup, but these vague words could not relieve Su Ruizhi's doubts, nor could they dispel his worries at all.
"Little sister, this matter is so weird, I don't know ...... What do you think? ”
Su Ruizhi also knew that this sister might not tell him some things, but the Su family was gradually developing in a better and better direction, and he really didn't want to ruin the family again for some unclear reason.
"Big brother, don't worry, I'll go to find Li Mo later and see what he says." Looking at Su Ruizhi's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Shang Shangzi also understood the scruples in his heart, and hurriedly spoke of relief.
The experience of his father is not far away, no wonder his brother will be afraid of the royal family, if Li Mo had not cleared the blood relationship with the royal family, I am afraid that the eldest brother will not rest assured that he will marry him, right?
Su Ruizhi looked at the merchant with a faint but persistent smile, and then nodded reassuringly.
Li Mo is of royal blood, even if he has not entered the sect, but his identity is there, and the current emperor has always favored him, it is best for him to deal with these matters involving the royal family.
"It's good!" Su Ruizhi nodded, and said: "You go to meet Li Gongzi, and you can discuss your new house, I always feel that it is not good to live in that courtyard, you can consider the hot spring Zhuangzi outside the city, I lived there when I first came to Chang'an, but it is a very comfortable place." ”
Su Ruizhi still had a sentence that he didn't say: Although the annex is magnificent, it is the prince's mansion after all, Li Mo's identity is unknown, and living there is a trouble!
"Hmmm! I know, I'll talk to him about it! Shang Shang smiled and nodded, and while closing the lid again, he said, "Speaking of that Zhuangzi, I haven't lived in it since it was built!" ”
"Then you might as well go and take a look with Li Gongzi!" Seeing that Su Ruizhi and the merchant seemed to have reached a consensus, Green Sleeves was also relieved, and the hand protecting his lower abdomen did not feel relaxed.
"That's a great idea!" The merchant smiled and agreed.
Su Ruizhi called two little servants, locked the heavy box and let them carry it out, and carried it straight into the warehouse in the backyard, then locked the door with great care, and hid the key close to him.
After lunch, the merchant got into a carriage and rushed to Li Mo's courtyard.
Li Mo, who heard the news and came out to greet him, saw a merchant wearing a hat and a narrow-sleeved skirt as soon as he left the inner courtyard, and he couldn't help but have a gentle smile on his face.
"Where are you from? Why didn't you say it beforehand, wouldn't you be in vain if I wasn't there? Li Mo said with a smile as he slowly walked towards the inner courtyard with the footsteps of the merchants.
Since the two returned to Chang'an, such solitude has become a very rare thing, at this time in the inner courtyard, where no outsiders walk around, surrounded by a warm spring sunshine, the two of them don't want to talk for a while.
"Look at this."
Since there were no outsiders, the businessman simply did not avoid suspicion, lifted his hat, and at this time stretched out a plain white hand and stuffed a brocade bag into Li Mo's hand, but did not explain much.
Li Mo took the brocade bag inexplicably, just opened it and closed it after a glance, but there was some doubt in his eyes when he looked at the merchant.
"It's a good thing, but why are you?" Shaking the brocade bag in his hand in front of the merchants, Li Mo said with a smile.
"This is what Wu Zhaoyi in the palace gave me makeup." Shang Shang replied with a smile, and seeing that Li Mo was a little disapproving, he added another sentence: "Like the jade wall you see in your hand, I still have nine pieces there, this Nanzhu, I'm afraid that there will be one!" ”
Hearing Shang Shang's words, Li Mo, who originally looked relaxed, couldn't help but show a little surprise.
He doesn't look at these things in terms of the number alone, but as the merchant said, this kind of quantity is really a lot of wealth.
The path was quiet at this time, and Li Mo, who had already stopped, frowned and thought about it, and then laughed.
"Since it was given by Wu Zhaoyi, then you can go on next, at most, won't it be over when you go to the palace to thank you?"
Shang Shang raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is it just a thanks?" Don't you think it's too heavy? ”
"It's not heavy! These things are not so much makeup with you, but as a thank you gift from the emperor and Wu Zhaoyi, you just have to accept it, if there is really something, I am here. Li Mo smiled and waved his hand, signaling that the merchant didn't have to mind.
Seeing that Li Mo didn't care, the merchant also put his heart at ease, everyone loves Pearl Baby, and if she has to accept her, she is naturally willing to accept it, but she just doesn't want to cause trouble.
Pulling the brocade bag out of Li Mo's hand, the merchant said angrily: "If that's the case, then give it back to me!" I'm still afraid that I won't be able to accept the baby? After speaking, he stuck out his tongue at Li Mo, with a playful and cute look.
"By the way, there's another thing to discuss with you!" Remembering his brother's Yin Yin advice before going out, Shang Shang put away the brocade bag and turned to talk to Li Mo about another matter.
"What's the matter?" Li Mo took a step forward and continued to walk forward.
"Is our new house really going to be in this annex?" The merchant said with some hesitation.
There are too many other people's flavors in this garden, even if her brother doesn't say it, she will bring it up sooner or later, and it is more comfortable to say it at this time.
