Chapter 120: Embroidered Screen

The table was cleaned up lightly, and Chang Runzhi took Wei Zi to continue yesterday's inventory work.

However, compared to yesterday's focus, today she was a little absent-minded, but it made Xun Dong, who was waiting by her side for the first time, tremble.

Originally, this little girl was nervous, because of Chang Run's absent-minded relationship, she also made several mistakes when counting the congratulatory gifts, and her eyes were red and she was about to cry, for fear that Chang Runzhi would blame her.

Chang Runzhi has a good temper and will not blame others for his own sake.

However, there is a difference between master and servant, and Xun Dong is afraid of her.

Wei Zi looked in a very good mood today, and even with a pleasant face towards Xun Dong, seeing that Xun Dong was so timid and afraid, Wei Zi couldn't help but say to Chang Run: "Girl, it's better to go to the side and rest, just watch the slave and maid here." ”

Although Wei Zi has a lively temperament and loves to inquire about things, he is also meticulous in doing things.

Chang Runzhi didn't have anything to worry about, he pulled the fur collar on the neckline, and said, "It's cold outside, let the little girl raise a stove and put it next to you, so you don't have to freeze." ”

"Oh, Miss Xie."

Wei Zi was busy, waiting for Chang Runzhi to enter the house, and let the maid serve two plates of dim sum snacks and a cup of hot tea.

Chang Runzhi held his cheeks and looked at Wei Zi to order a congratulatory gift, and listened to Wei Zi chattering with the maid who was beating up.

Suddenly, Wei Zi turned back to Chang Rundao: "Girl, seeing that the New Year is coming, the New Year's gifts and New Year's goods in the house, are they going to be purchased now?" ”

Chang Runzhi bowed his head and said, "In a few days, I will order someone to do it." In the past few days, I will first figure out the situation in the house, and I will plan what to buy and how much to buy. In addition, the people who serve in the government should also give some benefits at that time, so that they can also have a good year. This is an expense that cannot be saved. ”

Wei Zi smiled and said: "With a girl with such a good temperament and generous housewife, the people in our prince's mansion are really blessed." ”

Chang Runzhi glanced at her: "Hmm...... From the dowry that you will have to pay for it in the future. ”

"Girl! You're making fun of the slave again! Wei Zi pouted, and the mothers-in-law around him laughed.

One of the mothers-in-law who was originally in charge of scrubbing the treasury in the prince's mansion joked: "Miss Wei Zi will marry in the future, and the princess will give Miss Wei Zi a dowry!" It's a pity that the old woman doesn't have a son, otherwise, she immediately begged the princess and asked Miss Wei Zi to be the daughter-in-law of the old woman. ”

Other mothers-in-law responded one after another, carrying congratulatory gifts, holding dust and dust, waiting to count out some congratulatory gifts and send them to the warehouse for storage...... Everything you say and I say revolves around Wei Zi's life's events.

Chang Runzhi was happy to listen, but Wei Zi's face became redder and redder when he was said.

"Girl!" She stomped her foot, and Chang Runzhi lowered her head and smiled.

Fortunately, the mother-in-law chatted, and she also thought of what to talk about, and soon the topic changed.

The mother-in-law who scrubbed the storehouse was talking about these congratulatory gifts.

"There are those who look ordinary, and they are not worth much; There are also those that are valuable at first sight...... Look at the embroidery screen, it's a double-sided embroidery only in Jiangnan! On one side is the double happiness of bamboo and plum, and on the other side is the white-headed wealth, which is embroidered so that it is called a lifelike ......"

Chang Runzhi was attracted by the woman's words, and let people lift the embroidered screen to see.

On one side of the embroidered screen is a picture of white-headed wealth, embroidered with a cluster of peonies and two pulsatillas, which is used as a metaphor for the white-headed old and rich year by year.

The other side is the bamboo and plum double happiness picture, embroidered with two magpies, one standing on the plum branch, one standing on the bamboo branch, two magpies for double happiness, plus plum bamboo, on behalf of the childhood sweetheart, two little no guess, as a partner, husband and wife love.

It's easy to understand that the white-headed rich and wealthy are happy, but this bamboo and plum double happiness picture ......

Chang Runzhi always felt a little disobedient.

If it is the original couple, it is reasonable to send an embroidered screen embroidered with a bamboo and plum double happiness picture, but she and Liu Tong are not each other's original match, and they have not known each other since childhood.

What the main family is doing to entertain guests, and what gifts guests want to give when they come to the door, this is all a certain point.

When the giver chooses a door-to-door gift, he will inevitably have to consider one or two.

This embroidered screen is exquisite, but the embroidered pattern is not satisfactory.

Chang Runzhi thought that this might be embroidered a long time ago, and he happened to meet their marriage, so he used it as a gift, but he didn't need to dig into it.

But Wei Zi flipped through the list of He Yi, but suddenly said: "This embroidered screen was sent by the Prince's Mansion." ”

Chang Runzhi suddenly looked at Wei Zi: "Sent by the Prince's Mansion?" ”

"Yes." Wei Zi responded, handed over the list of He Yi, and said to Chang Run: "The Prince's Mansion has sent a few valuable things, and this embroidered screen is one of them." ”

Chang Runzhi frowned, and looked at the other congratulatory gifts on the roster except for the embroidered screen, which were decent and nothing inappropriate.

But why is this embroidered screen the only one......

Chang Runzhi asked: "On the day of the wedding, who came from the prince's mansion?" ”

Wei Zi naturally didn't know who the guests were, so he asked the head of the prince's mansion to invite Quanda.

Quan Dadao: "It's the chief manager of the prince's mansion and the grandfather of Qu." ”

Quan Da flipped through the records of the day's passage and confirmed: "It is indeed these two." ”

Chang Runzhi has been in the Prince's Mansion for half a year, and he also knows a thing or two about these two characters.

People say that the prime minister is in front of the seven-rank official, and this Jin is in charge of the entire prince's mansion, and even some idle officials of the fourth and fifth grades have to be polite to him.

And that Gonggong Qu is a celebrity who has served by the prince's side since he was a child, and he has won the trust of the prince.

Liu Tong married a wife, although the prince is his eldest brother, there is a difference between monarchs and ministers, so naturally he will not come to congratulate him in person, and let these two come to the mansion to participate in the wedding banquet, which can be regarded as giving Liu Tong enough face.

"Do you remember what the two of them said when they came to the house?" Chang Runzhi asked Quan Avenue.

Although the people from the prince's mansion had to pay more attention to Quanda, but how busy the day was, he naturally wouldn't remember it so clearly.

"Back to the princess's words, I don't remember much...... Lead them through the house, arrange their seats at the table, and the little ones will go on other things. ”

Chang Runzhi nodded, and asked again: "Then do you still remember, the congratulatory gift from the Prince's Mansion, what did Manager Jin and Gonggong Qu say?" ”

"These are naturally carefully selected by the crown prince and the crown princess to congratulate His Royal Highness the Ninth Emperor and His Royal Highness the Ninth Emperor Princess." Quan replied, thought for a while, and said: "Oh yes, Gonggong Qu said that because Her Royal Highness the princess used to work in the prince's mansion, she had friendships with several princes and princesses, so they also sent congratulatory gifts." ”

Quan glanced at the He Yi roster in Chang Runzhi's hand, nodded and said, "It should be all in this record." ”

"What about this embroidered screen?" Chang Run's face sank like water, and he pointed to the delicate embroidered screen.

Quan shook his head, indicating that he was not impressed.

Chang Runzhi said that he knew, and asked Quanda to go down and busy with him.

"Girl?" Wei Zi frowned, a little puzzled: "But what's wrong?" ”

Chang Runzhi shook his head and said softly, "It's okay, continue to count these congratulatory gifts." ”

"Then this embroidered screen ......"

"Set it aside." Chang Runzhi said lightly. (To be continued.) )
