Although I don't know what kind of style Banzai smokes, or just to please the queen, Hongchen doesn't care, it's not her who is in trouble!

Lin Xu was very nervous, mainly because most of Hongchen's dowry was the responsibility of the imperial court, but his dowry had to be handled by himself. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The people on the other side of the Guigu are all gloating, and a few elders are serious to give him congratulations, but none of them think that the eldest prince Lin still needs a dowry in order to hold the beauty, as for Mr. Guigu, his old man can't even find anyone, it is said that he went to travel the world a few years ago, alone, without any disciples.

Lin Xu himself was quite worried.

It's not the same thing as Mr. Guigu's other disciples, he doesn't look at his age, but if he is put outside, even if the Guigu disciples are all in danger, it won't be his turn.

"What are these?"

Hongchen has been very idle recently, and she has nothing to do, so Lin Xu simply took her out and took her to her own house and coaxed her to teach her a lesson to the group of people under her hands.

Lin Xu still trusts the ability of his little girl to teach people.

The little disciples of Guigu are all top, not to mention their outstanding talents, at least they are all very good, let Hongchen teach, Hongchen is also willing, anyway, she has written all kinds of lesson plans, and now she is a teacher, and she can use the lesson plans directly, and it is not troublesome at all.

On this day, I went to Lin Xu's side as usual, just finished two classes, sent the students to practice by themselves, and when I turned around, I saw Lin Xu standing in front of the door of the warehouse, thinking far away, and there was a donkey cart parked in front of him, and there were more than ten large boxes piled on the car.

The wooden box looks very old, but it is very clean, and the wood is still good.

"Come and have a look."

Lin Xu smiled back, stretched out his hand to pull his little girl over, took matters into his own hands, cut the hemp rope with a knife, and opened a box to show Hongchen.

Inside this box, there are dense books, Hongchen flipped through them, there are ordinary subsets of scriptures and histories, there are also many technical books such as agriculture, and some travelogues, books are new and old, and some have several versions.

"My family is ...... Send it to me as a dowry. Lin Xu smiled, his voice a little ethereal.

"I sent a lot, I think it's all good."

Hongchen's face didn't feel red, and even his ears had a hint of pink, a dowry or something, how could she say this in front of her, but she still walked over and looked at them one by one, how rare the things sent by Lin Xu's family were, the Lin family has suffered all these years, and the family business was copied in the early years, and these things are afraid that they are extremely hard to accumulate.

Two boxes of silver, one box of antique cultural toys, one box of various gems and pearl jewelry, Hongchen looked slowly, other spices and fabrics, there were a lot, maybe the spices were not good enough, maybe the cloth was far less than the tribute sent by the palace, but it must be extremely difficult to collect these.

Lin Xu took out a pair of silver bracelets from the box, very plain, and stretched out his hand to put them on for Hongchen: "I remember that this bracelet was handed down by the old marquis's generation, and it is considered an ancestral thing, and it can be left without thinking about it." ”

The red dust is like snow, with a silver bracelet, it is very beautiful.

The bracelet does not look old, it is about good maintenance, or it has been re-cleaned, and it only looks simple and elegant when looking at the old meaning on it.

Hongchen and Lin Xu were full of interest, and spent an afternoon sorting out this pile of things, in fact, this little thing is not even comparable to the usual reward of the queen's mother, but its value lies not in its preciousness, but in its significance.

After cleaning up, Lin Xu solemnly put everything in the warehouse, and when he planned to give a dowry gift, he sent it directly to his own girl openly.

As for the few Guigu disciples who helped sort it out, it was not easy to give dowry gifts suddenly, if they only took this little thing, they didn't know if they would be drowned by the spitting stars of passers-by.

If you want to marry someone else's county lord, don't talk about gold and silver mountains, you have to be like a word, who doesn't know that the dowry of the county lord of Rong'an is rich, I'm afraid it is far more than ten miles of red makeup, much more magnificent than the princess, not to mention that their dowry is equivalent to the dowry, the difference is too far, it is really not good-looking.

The disciples of Guigu were all in high spirits, and decided to go back and think of a way, and talk to their own masters, uncles, and brothers, that Master Lin is also the descendant disciple of Mr. Guigu, and the disciple who closes the door is the face of their Guigu.

For a while, it was rumored in the rivers and lakes that the disciples of Guigu were collecting treasures from all over the world here, so that those who wanted to have a relationship with Guigu and had no way out were greatly moved, from the rivers and lakes to the temple, countless people were running around, and the prices of treasures and treasures in various places had skyrocketed.

Lin Xu didn't have much money, he had a lot of things to do, and there were many people to raise, not only that, but he also raised a big horse farm, raised a group of disabled sergeants in the army, and a bunch of widows and loneliness, although he also had the ability to make money, but in general, the income and expenditure were relatively balanced, and in recent years, there were signs of making ends meet.

When he came back to his senses, he found that he had been cheated by his own brothers and sisters, and Lin Xu also wanted to cry without tears.

Hongchen was amused in his heart, and couldn't help but persuade him: "It's okay, I'll lend you some when the time comes, there are a lot of good things in my warehouse, you can use them." ”

She doesn't care much about things outside her body, money is a thing, she can continue to earn money if she is gone, and Hongchen spends money not much less than Lin Xu, but her ability to make money is obviously much better than that of Lin Dagongzi.

Lin Xu: "......"

If he is reduced to taking Hongchen's things as a dowry and marrying Hongchen, uh, he actually doesn't care much, but if he lets the master and the two senior brothers know...... Not to mention anything else, Mr. Guigu must be happy to hype up the ability of his beloved apprentice, and Lin Xu expressed his complete distrust of the master's discipline, and his face will be lost when the time comes.

Lin Xu thought that his skin was not thick enough.

"Don't worry, the money for marrying Hongchen is to smash the pot and sell iron, and I can make it up."

That's just him.

Leaving Lin Xu, who was rare and vulgar for once, worried about money, Hongchen turned his head and entered the palace to accompany the queen.

The queen mother has been very lively here recently, long live the birthday is approaching, the vassal kings of all over the country, the dragon sons and phoenix grandchildren have entered the capital, this time, the birthday of the long live seems to want to do a big one, I heard that even the magistrates outside, but if they pass the four products, they can enter the capital to celebrate their birthday.

Lin Xu felt that the treasures were particularly expensive, and there was probably also the credit of the longevity of the long live lord, the emperor's birthday, the birthday gift naturally had to compete for beauty, and everyone wanted to be in the limelight.

Those dragon sons and phoenix grandchildren are okay, they can't give too precious, the gift is precious, saying that they have to just ask for no benefits, and they have to be scolded by Banzai for being extravagant, the officials don't dare to go too far, the best gift is not lost, now the treasury is empty, if they really spend a lot of money to buy a birthday gift, who knows what the Lord will think?

To the big businessmen who have heads and faces in various places, they can jointly enter the birthday gift, don't look at them can't get the banquet to eat, but the gift is unambiguous, not to mention anything else, if the gift prepared by their own family can enter the eyes of Banzai, Banzai mention one or two sentences in public, and the benefits they can get are innumerable.

First of all, local officials have to give a little more face, and it is easier to solve things when they meet, at least no one will provoke people who have a name in front of the foreign year, and again, the gift is exquisitely selected, and it can also play a good role in publicity, it is said that the tea merchant Guo Rui, presented his own collection of good tea cakes as a birthday gift, the fragrance of tea is overflowing, long live at that time let people hand it to the eyes, after tasting, greatly appreciated, since then his tea has been exported to Shikoku, and pay that little thing compared to the benefits, the benefits are too great.

There is such an example, long live the birthday, there is absolutely no one perfunctory in terms of birthday gifts, the year has not passed, and now the value of the rare treasures in the capital has risen a lot, fortunately these things are meaningless to ordinary people, that is, the price does not rise, and the people can't afford it, it is the playthings of the powerful people.

The common people will also talk about it after dinner, just chat a few words, to have a little benefit, if ordinary people have a marriage or something this year, the dowry is slightly worse, it is estimated that no one will pick it.

Long live her birthday, the queen naturally wants to give gifts, but the queen is the same here, every year she makes some clothes, shoes and hats by herself, that is, the relationship between the two is the weakest, and the same is true in the years when they almost don't see each other.

Now the relationship between the two is much closer, and the queen has no intention of changing, when Hongchen arrived, she was holding a needle and thread, and sewed a small leather hat from time to time, the hat was not very good-looking, dusty, like a wolf's skin.

"Dog skin, it's still Su Niang to find it, it's not easy to find."

The queen smiled, "The dogskin hat is warm, not worse than others, when I was out with him, I made him a dogskin hat to wear, he is an old guy who has been afraid of the cold since he was young, and he can't wait to hide in the house in winter." ”

After saying a few words casually, and when she came back to her senses, the queen smiled: "What do you do when you say these boring things, we Hongchen definitely don't like to listen to them, just right, today I entertain an interesting old lady, not such a boring person, Hongchen also accompanies and talks." ”

Hongchen raised her eyebrows in surprise, in the past, when she saw guests, she had never asked her to accompany her, she always said that she was vain and wronged with those people, she was tired and panicked, she felt bored to do it herself, and naturally she was not willing to let Hongchen suffer.

"It's different now than before, I didn't think that we Hongchen would marry before, since we want to marry, some communication is still needed."

The queen sighed, "People, if you want to do whatever you want completely according to your own mind, you can do whatever you want, and if you don't want to do something, you don't have to do it, in the end, it's difficult." ”

Hongchen smiled, her communication skills are absolutely no problem, although there are few intimate confidants and friends in this life, she is busy, there are a lot of things, and the matter of making friends is naturally put aside, but she usually walks around the garden with people, participates in a small banquet, and acquaintances are everywhere, not to mention that everyone is good for her, there is no enemy in the end, and her reputation is not bad.

The person the queen saw today is indeed very interesting, she is an old lady in her fifties, her hair is meticulously groomed, her face is kind, and she also has a little granddaughter by her side, who is nine years old this year.

Others come to see the queen, not to mention wearing gold and silver, at least to dress decently, her dress is very ordinary, very ordinary cotton clothes, dark cyan, only a silver hairpin is inserted on the head, the little girl next to her is dressed up quite beautifully, although it is also cotton clothes, the cuffs and trousers are carefully embroidered with exquisite patterns, simple double maids, wearing a pair of pearl beads, looking playful and cute, but the child's face is not very right, the lip color is a little light, and there is some blue gray, which is not very healthy.

I only know that the origin of this old lady is really not simple, her surname is Xue, nicknamed Xue Shen Needle, is a famous embroidery master in the south of the Yangtze River, good at double-sided embroidery, when she was young, she had embroidered a 100-meter-long splendid river and mountain map, long live the trip to Jiangnan, unintentionally seen, shocked by the heavens, personally wrote down the word "Shen Needle" as a gift.

Although this is also an embroidery girl, it is very different from an ordinary embroidery girl, and her husband's family is not simple, the husband is a Confucian high in the south of the Yangtze River, and the protégés of the high school are all over the four countries, and the disciples are both in the temple and occupy a high position, and there are also celebrities who have been in the field, if it were not for the stubbornness of this person, who refused to enter the court as an official, the emperor would definitely allow the position of prime minister.

Of course, people live a leisurely life, and they are poor and happy, and they do not pursue fame and fortune, who would want to enter the court as an official and get involved in the mess of the court!

For the sake of Gao Yixing's face, Mrs. Xue's identity is also rising, and occasionally a work is lost, and it is even auctioned by the daughter.

"Our Hongchen is also lucky, long live the holy life in previous years, Gao Daru and Mrs. Xue have never been to the capital, since they are here this year, it is fate."

The queen smiled, "My girl is about to get married, and I don't dare to ask Mrs. Xue to embroider a dowry or something for her, as long as the disciples around you are willing to make a move, my girl will be very satisfied when she wants to come." ”

Hongchen: "......"

The old lady responded very seriously: "Back to Niangniang, the old body is already old and dizzy, and I haven't moved the needle and thread for a long time, so I don't dare to delay the happy event of the county lord, if the county lord doesn't dislike it, there are just two disciples around me who have already come out of the school, so let them serve the county lord." ”

Yes, it's trouble-free, Luo Niang and Xiao Yan at home are worried about the wedding dress all day long, and now that such a big old man's embroidery girl has appeared, they should also rest assured.

After saying a few words, Hongchen saw that the purpose of this Mrs. Xue entering Beijing turned out to be to seek medical advice.

It seems that the little granddaughter next to Mrs. Xue is in very bad health, when she was a child, she got better, that is, in the past two years, she suddenly became sick and weak, and she was bedridden at every turn, the old lady only had one son, and the son only gave birth to such a granddaughter.

Recently, Banzai's health is not very good, and famous doctors from all over the country gather in the capital, and she also thought that she might be able to ask a famous doctor to recuperate, so she entered the capital while Banzai was celebrating her birthday. (To be continued.) )
