Seeing that the situation was frozen again, Mother Mu couldn't bear to be tortured by the young lady like this, so she smiled and said, "It's a shame that the young lady asked, our Miss Ju is really a little picky about gifts." The discord sent by the pen www.biquge.info is not beautiful. Our Miss Ju only likes famous calligraphy and painting, and the elegant house where she lives really occupies an elegant word, and what you see in it is a treasure, and there are few famous shops in the capital. ”

is worthy of the person next to the old lady, what she said was like an invisible wind, sweeping away the embarrassment just now, leaving no trace.

But it made Yun Ting embarrassed. "Calligraphy and painting...... My grandmother had seen what I had written, and I didn't understand anything about it...... Then how can I give Shaoju a gift that she likes? ”

The old lady looked at Mother Mu and said with a smile, "Look, make this child embarrassed, right?" It's better not to say it, let her figure out for herself if she can come up with some novel ideas, which is even more boring......"

Wang Shaomei glanced at Wang Shaoju lightly, and snorted coldly, but she just had a good skin, she really thought that she could be elegant by decorating herself with those famous calligraphy and paintings?

Wang Shaoju lowered his head. This Xi Yunting is simply a person who makes trouble for herself, it doesn't matter if she doesn't give gifts or something, but now she has become a picky personality and embarrassed others. Do you really want to give people a gift that they like? It's clear that you just want to block her, right?

At this time, Wang Shaomei said, "Sister-in-law doesn't have to worry too much. My sister receives many gifts every year on her birthday, and it's not all calligraphy and paintings. It's good that my sister-in-law has her heart, how can anyone not like a gift when she receives it? Saying that, he looked at Wang Shaoju, "Did you say, sister?" ”

Wang Shaoju nodded, bit her lip, and said for a long time, "Sister-in-law doesn't need to worry too much, my brother prepares every year, knowing that my sister-in-law has this intention, Shaoju is already very grateful." ”

"But it's the first time I've given you a gift, so I naturally want you to be happy......" Yun Ting was a little disappointed. But after a while, he raised his head again, "I can ask Xianggong to take me out and buy it for you." Xianggong is sure to find what you are satisfied with! ”

Xi Cui stood aside and was speechless again. Miss, do you think we are still in the Hou Mansion? If you want to go out and tell your wife, it's okay to have the young master follow. You are now a bride, the Wang family has many rules, can you go out if you want to? Let Liu know that it is indispensable to be punished again. The slave's knee has only been healed for a few days, do you really want to get rid of the slave's legs?

Wang Shaomei was overjoyed when she heard this. Sure enough, it's a stupid one, so I told you to go to your mother and say okay, I can also take the opportunity to go out for a walk, if it can't be done, I won't lose anything if you are punished.

Of course, the old lady also thought that Liu would not agree easily. The last time Yun Ting returned to the door, because she came back late, and Shaoyan didn't come back together, she was punished by Liu and knelt for two hours, she still remembers. This time, she dared to ask to leave the house in front of the Liu family, and it was inevitably difficult to be troubled. Thinking that since he had promised that Shaoyan would protect Yun Ting, why didn't he take this opportunity to show his attitude, which could be regarded as a tribute to what the Liu family had done during this time.

So he beckoned Yun Ting to come to his side, and said with a smile, "Shaoyan has been very busy lately, how can I have time to accompany you?" Otherwise, grandmother asked the master to find you a safe follower, and you and your two sisters went out for a walk? Your mother doesn't need to go to ask for instructions, she may not be busy preparing for the banquet these days, so you can go tomorrow?" ”

Xi Cui knew that these were two big Buddhas, and it was a declaration of war, and her young lady successfully made the first chess piece to appear on the chessboard. But this is not something you can control. As for whether she can find rare calligraphy and paintings when she goes out, she doesn't know, but one thing is certain, Yun Ting's calligraphy and paintings will definitely not make Wang Shaoju happy.

When she returned to Luju and told her about it, Mama Wu was stunned for a long time before she said, "Let's see who the master will find to follow tomorrow." It took a long time before he spoke again, "It's okay to go out with the two young ladies, you pay attention to what that Miss Mei likes, don't come back to us when the time comes." ”

As soon as Wang Shaoyan came back, he asked Xi Cui about today's matter, probably because the old lady had really gone to find the master. Xi Cui had no choice but to retell what happened in Ningju, but he didn't say anything.

On the second day, after breakfast, the housekeeper Wang Fu brought a young man over to see that he should be the housekeeper in the house. It was said that the old man ordered him to accompany them out.

After cleaning up, Xi Cui followed Yun Ting out, and when she went out, she realized that Linglong had actually followed. Wang Shaomei raised her chin and glanced at Linglong and walked to Yun Ting's side, "Sister-in-law, I'll take a car with you, and Shaomei will be with Linglong." With that, he got into the car, and it seemed that the two of them were uncomfortable after taking a second look.

Xi Cui watched from the side, is this Miss Mei really Liu's daughter? Why is it that this young lady is not at all?

Soon arrived on the bustling and noisy street, listening to the voices of people outside, Xi Cui was very emotional. When I was in the Hou Mansion, I could go home once a month, and I longed for such a lively street, but when I arrived at Wang's house, I didn't even have any hope, and now I feel cordial and yearning for the noise outside. This time I was lucky, and I don't know what year and month it will be when I come out to breathe next......

The carriage stopped in front of an antique calligraphy and painting shop. The curtain was rolled up, and the steward smiled inside, "Young lady, second miss, we're here." After saying that, he got out of the car, put down his pedals, and stood aside and waited.

After getting out of the car, Wang Shaomei was the first to walk in with the corner of her skirt. Then everyone followed, and the steward finally appeared but walked quickly to the front, standing in front of the shopkeeper, "The shopkeeper, we are Wang Shangshu's family, come to you to find a few things to play with, can there be calligraphy and paintings?" ”

When the shopkeeper heard that the Wang family did not dare to slack off, he bent down and welcomed the person into the inner room, and the man served tea. After a while, the shopkeeper came in, holding a few boxes containing calligraphy and paintings in his arms.

The steward carefully took it and placed it on the table by the window. The shopkeeper helped to unfold them one by one, they were all things of some age, the paper looked a little yellow, Wang Shaomei glanced at Wang Shaoju, "Doesn't my sister understand?" Check it out. ”

The shopkeeper is a person who can do things, and when he heard the voice, he hurriedly gave up his seat, Wang Shaoju got up and stood in front of him, looked at it carefully, and did not speak.

Although Yun Ting didn't understand this, she was also very curious, but she frowned after looking at it. Obviously incomprehensible. Just as she was about to speak, Xi Cui quickly pulled her cuffs, and she remembered that she had promised not to speak casually before going out. Although he was unwilling, he still didn't speak.

The steward is a knowledgeable person, and after looking at a few pictures, he said a few words to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper carefully took away a few pieces, leaving two or three pairs in addition to the one that Wang Shaoju had seen for the longest time.

Wang Shaoju slowly put away the calligraphy and painting at hand and put it in its place. Shaking his head at the steward, the steward smiled in response. Then I went outside with the shopkeeper.

Without outsiders, Yun Ting could finally speak, and leaned to Wang Shaoju's side, "Can you really understand?" Some of them are blurry and can't see what they are drawing......"

Wang Shaoju smiled, "The paper is a little moldy when it is old, but it is indeed genuine." It's a waste of something so good to follow me. It's a pity that I'm also a layman in this regard, and the shopkeeper misunderstood what we meant. I can't appreciate such good things, or some things from famous calligraphers and painters are more suitable for me. I told the steward before I went out, but I didn't explain it at first. ”

Wang Shaomei snorted, and said in her heart, if you don't understand, you don't understand. I know that I am pretending to be elegant on weekdays, and then I will reveal the real chapter.

After a while, the shopkeeper and steward came in again, this time with some boxes in their arms. It's just that these boxes are obviously brighter in color, and they look like something new. The shopkeeper carefully put away the previous ones and handed them to the man, and then unfolded the new ones. Wang Shaoju stepped forward quickly, took the scroll in the shopkeeper's hand, and slowly unfolded it, and the green mountains and green waters slowly completed in front of him......

The shopkeeper carefully observed the young lady's expression, the first time she saw the top **** in the painting was looking forward to it, and she began to be happy when she saw the shadow of the splashed ink mountain, the green mountains reflected the green water and gradually appeared in the panorama, and the fire in her eyes faded little by little, until the painting scroll was fully unfolded, and her eyes were only disappointed...... It seems that this one is not eye-catching.

The shopkeeper put it away and opened another one. It's still the same......

Wang Shaomei finally ran out of patience, put down the teacup and stood up, "Shopkeeper, you don't only have calligraphy and painting here, right?" Miss Ben is a layman, and she can't appreciate such elegant things, so are there any novel and exquisite gadgets for us to see? ”

The shopkeeper was holding a painting scroll in his hand, and Wang Shaoju beside him was concentrating on checking, at this time it was inconvenient and impolite for him to speak, but fortunately, the steward was very sensible and took over the work in his hand quietly. At this time, the shopkeeper turned around and smiled at Wang Shaomei, "Miss, this is too modest, everyone in this world is full of grains, and the worldly things are inseparable, where can you say that you are a layman?" Elegant and vulgar words are polite words on the scene, and besides, Miss, how can you be a fairy-like character? If you don't like this on paper, we have some other gadgets here, which are liked by the young ladies of the son, why don't you take you down to enjoy the eyes? ”

Girls like flattery, and Wang Shaomei is naturally no exception, even if she laughs lightly, she should respond. turned back to Yun Ting and said, "Sister-in-law, do you want to be together?" It's a bit stuffy here. ”

Yun Ting had already wanted to go out, calligraphy and painting were not her cup of tea at all. So he happily followed her downstairs. Linglong looked at them and then at Wang Shaoju, not knowing what to do. Before leaving, my aunt told her to take good care of the two girls, not to let them quarrel in front of outsiders and lose face, and more importantly, to watch Yun Ting and her maid, but if she really went down, wouldn't she leave Wang Shaoju alone? This young lady is withdrawn, rarely goes out and doesn't like to talk to people in the house, what if something happens?

The steward has been in the house for many years, and he still knows the doorways between these young ladies and ladies in the house. Miss Linglong is a lady's person, and Mrs. doesn't like the young lady, so if this lady is to accompany her on the surface, in fact, she is supervising him, how can he not understand. It must be difficult to look at Linglong's appearance. said to Linglong in a low voice, "Miss Biao can rest assured that Miss Ju will be handed over to the little one, and Miss Ju will take the young lady down to look for you later." ”

Linglong's eyes lit up, she glanced at the steward, smiled, and made a note of his help.

Wang Shaomei was already holding a green jade net bottle in her hand and looked at it, and when she saw Linglong coming down, she glanced at her lightly, and then looked at Yun Ting and Xi Cui, and snorted lightly. I know that my mother will not worry that their sisters will come out with Yun Ting, how can her own daughter be more trustworthy than a niece in her eyes? Besides, Yun Ting is a fool, and it's worth her so much trouble!

Xi Cui secretly observed the expressions of the two, and probably guessed a few points. Wang Shaomei was full of disdain and ridicule for Wang Shaoju, but in the end, she was her own sister, and she had some face. But it's different for this Miss Cousin, that kind of contempt seems to emanate from her bones, if it weren't for the Liu family, she was afraid that she would treat her worse than her subordinates. She hated Linglong, and she hated it very much. It seems that this Miss Mei and her mother are not completely of the same mind, if she can do what she likes, maybe she can win her over, and if she can't become her own person, at least don't let her get tired of Yun Ting.

Of course, Linglong knew that she had no face in Wang Shaomei's eyes, and she would not rush forward. But he couldn't stand like this, so he had to walk up to Yun Ting with a smile, "What is my cousin looking at?" Yun Ting held a white porcelain pen holder in her hand and stroked the ink painting on it, "Do you think this pen holder looks good?" The pen holder in Xianggong's study was stained by me, so why don't I buy one for him? ”

The pen holder in my cousin's study? Linglong seemed to remember something, the coldness in her eyes flashed, but she said with a smile, "Okay, those things in my cousin's study haven't been changed for many years, and my cousin has this intention, so my cousin should be very happy." ”

The corners of Wang Shaomei's mouth were slightly raised, she didn't speak, and the disdain in her eyes deepened.

Although Xi Cui didn't know why, he knew about it, so it was better to pay attention to it.

Yun Ting listened to Linglong's words, and happily put the pen holder in her hand, her eyes scanned other objects, as if she really wanted to pick a few more things.

Wang Shaomei put down the net bottle in her hand and picked up a hollow black porcelain vase. This porcelain vase looks nothing at first glance, but if you look closely at the hollow carving on it, it is very interesting, it is not an ordinary carving but a small person. The porcelain vase is not big, but the villains are carved very realistically, and the villains have different postures, delicate and cute. Mrs. Hou is also a porcelain lover, and there are a few such porcelain carvings in the Hou Mansion that are not as exquisite, but Xi Cui also knows the price, and that one object is worth a second-entry mansion. The one in front of me is definitely better than those in the Hou Mansion.

After watching Wang Shaomei pick up and put down porcelain and jade for a long time, Xi Cui thought that she probably knew Wang Shaomei's preferences.

The shopkeeper came out of nowhere, and he was holding a large square box in his hand, which was very magnificent. Seeing a few young ladies looking at themselves and smiling, they put down the box in their hands and slowly opened the lid, and there were twelve white jade snuff bottles of the same size and shape inside. The ink-colored silk cloth wraps the body of the pot, making the white pot more and more crystal clear, attracting people's attention. If you look closely, you can see that the inside of these snuff bottles is painted inside. There are characters in the landscape, the colors are bright, and the eyes are clear. The mountains and rivers echo each other, although small but not lose the atmosphere, the characters are different, lifelike.

Wang Shaomei picked one up and held it in her hand, the amazing look in her eyes was fully revealed, Yun Ting was even more shocked and speechless, and Linglong was also full of liking.

Of course, the shopkeeper could see what the gaze in everyone's eyes meant, and said with a smile, "There are a total of twelve white jade cigarette bottles in this set, and the paintings on it are the works of famous masters of various dynasties, and the white jade is also the best mutton fat jade." When I first arrived at our store, how many of them were the first batch of visitors to these treasures, and I don't know if I could get into everyone's eyes? ”

Yun Ting nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and hurriedly said, "How much is it, I want it!" ”

Wang Shaomei looked at Yun Ting and wanted to say that you are stupid? At first glance, you know that it is worth a lot of money, and you don't know how much money to look at your eager face like this. But when he thought that he was not a fool, he stopped talking. Linglong also had a good look on her face. Yun Ting, even if she is Miss Houfu, this set of snuff bottles is not ordinary at first glance, even if my aunt wants to buy it, she has to consider the price, she has to ask for it.

Of course, Xi Cui knew what they meant, and said to the shopkeeper with a smile, "Shopkeeper, this is the first time for our young lady to buy a birthday gift for her aunt and grandmother, and she doesn't know the market, and she doesn't have too much silver on her body, so you don't dare to ask for a price." If the amount of money we have prepared is exceeded, we can only look at it if we like it......"

The shopkeeper thought for a while and said tentatively, "Since a few of them are distinguished guests of the Wang family, it can be regarded as good luck for a few lifetimes that we can climb the business of your mansion." 10,000 taels, it can be regarded as asking for personal favor in front of several distinguished guests, what do you think? ”

Ten thousand taels! Wang Shaomei and Linglong gasped at the same time. Wang Shaomei, the eldest lady of the Wang family, has a year's share of about 1,000 taels, and it costs 10,000 taels to buy such a thing? I'm afraid that my mother is coming, and I don't dare to nod easily, right? Linglong didn't dare to speak for a long time.

Xi Cui looked at the faces of the two and smiled. It seems that the Wang family's financial resources are nothing more than that. It's right to think about it, after all, the Wang family has a large population, and the expenses are naturally larger, no matter how big the industry is, no matter how much income there is, they don't dare to squander it at will. The Hou Mansion is different, the population is simple, the annual income of the Grange shop is a lot, the Hou Ye does not like officialdom entertainment, the young master has his own Fengyin, and the lady does not like to move around, and there is basically no expenditure in the house. When the young lady got married, Mrs. basically made the valuable grange shop as a dowry, not to mention, the private money at the bottom of the box alone was more than hundreds of thousands of taels. Not to mention that Miss still has a lot of money in her hands, and Miss has a lot of money in her hands, and Miss has almost this amount of money per month. Let's just let you see what the real Miss Hou Fuyan is, and what is the real wealth. So Xi Cui took out the purse from his arms lightly, took out a few silver tickets from it at will, put them on the table lightly, and then slowly put the purse back into his arms lazily, and said with a smile, "The shopkeeper is honest at first glance, and when she goes out, Mama Wu is afraid that our young lady will meet the greedy shop lion and open her mouth, so she should ask the slave to bring tens of thousands of taels of silver tickets." This is 10,000 taels, and the shopkeeper will put it away and wrap it. Saying that, he looked at Yun Ting and was still looking at something else, so he smiled again, "Our young lady still wants to see something else, you see that I haven't noticed the master's eyes......" After speaking, he went to get the purse again, and after thinking about it, he didn't take it off, but said, "Let's wait for the young lady to finish reading and then settle the bill together." ”

Then he didn't see the faces of the people around him, walked straight to Yun Ting, and followed Yun Ting to see something else.
