Chapter 66: A Door-to-Door Visit
When I woke up early this morning, the weather was rare and fine, although it was still very cold, but the strong wind that had been blowing for the past two days finally stopped.
Yesterday, I said that I should visit the county lord of Qianqian to show my gratitude, and secondly, it is best to get the friendship of the county lord of Qianqian. So when I got up today, seeing that the weather was fine, Wu Tianrou was ready to go to visit the county lord of Qianqian.
"Cuiping, go take out my set of bells, find a good box and put it in, I want to give it to Lord Qianqian as a gift."
After washing up and combing her hair, Wu Tianrou sat in front of the mirror and thought for a while, and said to Cui Ping behind her.
"Okay, miss, I'll get ready right away."
After listening to Wu Tianrou's words, Cui Ping put down the wooden comb and immediately went into the inner room to find something.
"Miss, why would you want to give that set of bells as a gift, this is your favorite accessory, and you were reluctant to wear it before."
Helping Wu Tianrou to the dining table, Wu's mother looked at her strangely.
"Alas, I do like this set of bells, but when I go to visit the county lord of Qianqian, I can't go empty-handed, right? Lord Qianqian is also a person who likes to dance, this set of bells is made of gold and crushed gemstones, and it is best worn on the wrists, ankles and waist when dancing.
I used to wonder where people had such dance accessories, but now that I see the dancers of the Gilded Country, I realize that this accessory is something from the Gilded Country. So I guess that the county lord of Qianqian will definitely like it. ”
Smiling slightly, Wu Tianrou picked up the dishes and chopsticks and began to eat breakfast.
"Oh, I remember, the biological mother of the deceased county lord of Qianqian, Princess Run, is a native of the gilded country, and if you want to come to the county lord of Qianqian, she should also dance the dance of the gilded country, so this set of bells of the young lady is really the most suitable gift."
After thinking about it for a while, Wu's mother suddenly realized.
"Miss, the gift is ready."
As he was talking, Cui Ping took out a red brocade box the size of two palms.
Wu Tianrou put down her chopsticks, reached out and took the brocade box and opened it, and saw four small and five strings of golden bells placed on the red flannel.
This set of bells is still a birthday gift given to her by Wu Yunyang two years ago, it is said that it was purchased from the caravan of the gilded country that came with the tribute procession, and this is the only one, which was bought back by Wu Yunyang, who took a fancy at a glance, and gave it to Wu Tianrou.
Looking at this set of bells, to be honest, Wu Tianrou's heart is really a little reluctant, but the so-called willing to give, there is a willingness.
Squinting her eyes slightly, Wu Tianrou slowly closed the box.
"It's collected, after I get to the Runwang Mansion later, I will give it to the county lord of Qianqian."
"Miss, don't worry, the slave will be taken away."
Nodding, Cui Ping took the brocade box and took it aside.
After finishing breakfast with a little thought, Wu Tianrou simply tidied up her clothes and walked towards Mrs. Wu.
Although Mrs. Wu was not injured yesterday, she was still frightened by the wild cat, so she was a little evil and had to recuperate for the time being. But compared to the spine damage in the previous life, paralyzed in bed, this is already much better.
It's just that in a short period of time, everyone doesn't need to go to Mrs. Wu's Xishou Hall to say goodbye.
Thinking about things, Wu Tianrou quickly came to Mrs. Wu's room. As soon as he entered, he saw that Mrs. Wu was eating breakfast outside.
"Say hello to my mother, I'm disturbing my mother's meal."
Bending down and bowing to Mrs. Wu, Wu looked at her with a smile.
"Come here so early, your father has already gone to the court, and he has been busy for a long time, and I have just finished eating."
Putting down the dishes and chopsticks, Mrs. Wu motioned for the little maid to clean up her things, and beckoned to Wu Tianrou.
"Do you wear more, do you have all the hand stoves? You're not healed yet, and you're weak, so don't freeze again. ”
"Mother, I don't have anything to do, and the scabs on my hands are about to fall off."
Raise her hand and let Mrs. Wu take a look, Wu Tianrou doesn't want Mrs. Wu to always worry too much.
"It's good soon, you don't know, recently my mother is afraid that your injury will leave a scar, you said that the most important thing for a girl is that her body is perfect, if you leave a scar, you won't be able to marry a good person in the future."
After taking a closer look at Wu Tianrou's arm, Mrs. Wu was finally relieved. Although Imperial Physician Chen said that she would not leave a scar, she would still be worried if she didn't see the results.
"By the way, go to the Runwang Mansion to visit the county lord of Qianqian, how can you prepare a decent gift, you go to the treasury with me to choose, and see what objects are more suitable."
Reassured by Wu Tianrou's wound, Mrs. Wu suddenly thought that she hadn't prepared a gift yet, so she was busy standing up.
"Mother, I've got all the gifts ready, so I don't have to go to the warehouse."
Hurriedly raised her hand to stop Mrs. Wu's movements, and Wu Tianrou motioned to Cuiping to bring the brocade box over to Mrs. Wu to see.
"Yes, your idea is very good, this gift Lord Qianqian will definitely be satisfied."
Closing the brocade box, Mrs. Wu nodded with satisfaction.
"It's just that it's hard to be a child, and I have to take out my own gifts and give them away."
"What's so difficult about this, just ask my father to buy me better gifts in the future!"
Smiling at Mrs. Wu, Wu Tianrou stood up.
"Mother, it's not too early, there is still a distance to Runwang's Mansion, so the child will go out first."
"Go ahead, be careful on the road. Remember, when you arrive at Runwang's Mansion, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, and you must not offend others. ”
Afraid that Wu Tianrou would make the previous young lady's temper again, Mrs. Wu hurriedly advised.
"Don't worry, mother, my daughter is leaving."
After giving another salute, Wu Tianrou took Cui Ping and turned around and walked out of the room.
Outside the gate, Steward Zhang had already prepared the carriage for travel, and after watching Wu Tianrou get into the carriage and walk away, Steward Zhang returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The Runwang Mansion is not far from the Imperial Palace, so it is some distance from the Prime Minister's Mansion. In that area, almost all of the people living in that area are relatives of the emperor, so some people call the royal relatives an alley over there.
Sitting in the carriage and walking leisurely for nearly half an hour, the carriage stopped steadily in the shouts of the coachman Lao Xin.
"Miss, Runwang's Mansion has arrived."
Lao Xin's voice came from outside the car, and Wu Tianrou lifted the curtain of the car and glanced towards the magnificent door of the Runwang Mansion.
"Go knock on the door and hand in the prayer post."
"Yes."
Stretching out his hand to take the greeting sticker handed over by Cuiping, Lao Xin turned around and strode towards the gate of Runwang's Mansion.
Raising his hand, he slapped twice on the brass ring of the beast's mouth on the vermilion gate, and soon, the small door opened, and an old man poked his head out.
"Who? What are you doing in Runwangfu? ”
"Please spread the word, Wu Tianrou, the eldest lady of Prime Minister Wu's mansion, came to visit the county lord of Qianqian, this is my young lady's post."
Pointing to the carriage behind him, Lao Xin handed the greeting note to the old man's hand.
"Please wait, the old man will come when he goes."
Leaving a word, the old man retracted the door, and the door slowly closed.
