Chapter 157: Who's Calculating the Girl?
If the maids have a thoughtful look, it inexplicably makes Zong Zhengke's cheeks slightly hot. She didn't know when Li Yi put this dressing box in her bedroom. Could it be that he came again last night?
If it was before, she never spared the reward, and would have asked the maids to take what they liked and wear it. But these jewelry given to her by Li Yi, she just wants to treasure it by herself.
Zong Zhengke pointed to the Xiao family's dressing box, and said calmly: "See if there are any favorite objects in it, and each person will take one." Everyone has worked hard along the way, and I thank you for it. ”
What kind of thank-you gift, is it hush money? Xu snickered in his heart, and guessed the origin of the dressing box. She was not polite, and she did not want to live up to the girl's thoughts, so she walked to the dresser with a smile. Opening the three-layer dressing box, she pulled it open layer by layer to check, her eyes slowly sank.
Although it is not as small as the mysterious five-layer dressing box, this three-layer one is not small and can hold a lot of jewelry. But in these three layers of drawers, pick up and count them, and they add up to only about 30 pieces of jewelry. Sparsely and shallowly spread in a drawer, leaving more than half of the space.
Looking at the color of the jewelry, heh, it is the dazzling eyes of gold, all of which are made of pure gold. She took a gold bracelet and checked it in her hand, the weight was really not light, six or seven taels were available. But a girl from a famous family, who would put such a stupid big gold bracelet on her wrist?!
In addition, from Xu's point of view, the workmanship of these jewelry is not exquisite enough, and the fancy style is too simple, revealing a vulgar nouveau riche taste. There are very few jewels set with gemstones, and the quality of the gemstones is also not high.
Not to mention the girl, even in Xu's dressing box, you can't find such jewelry. The girl is generous, and she never cares about these playthings, when she is in a good mood. Reward; When you're in a bad mood, you should be rewarded. Even if she followed the girl to cultivate in the Buddha country, Xu also saved dozens of good jewelry with good workmanship, how could she put such a rough object in her eyes?
Seeing that Xu was silent. His face became more and more ugly, Mingxin combed his hair, looked at the dressing box, and immediately gloomy his eyes and clenched his fists. The rosary also gathered around curiously to look at it. When I saw those jewelry, I was so angry that my face turned red.
Even Mingyue, who has always been big and melting, noticed that something was wrong, and carefully squeezed into her little head from behind, and when her eyes fell on the box, she cried out dissatisfiedly: "What is this?" How can you call the girl?! Throw it out, throw it all out! ”
The little face was puffed up, Mingyue squeezed over, and without saying anything, she picked up the dresser and wanted to go out. Zong Zhengke only looked at their expressions, and knew that there were no good things here, so he only smiled and said, "Don't throw it away yet." Show it to me. ”
Mingyue turned around reluctantly, held the dresser in front of Zong Zhengke's eyes, and muttered: "What ugly jewelry, Mingyue has never seen such ugly jewelry." ”
Zong Zhengke looked down and was not annoyed. However, her eyes froze, she took the handkerchief and picked up the gold bracelet that Xu had just seen. She put it down her nose and sniffed it, a sneer on her lips.
Xu knew that it was not good, and the feeling of being bad became stronger and stronger. Zong Zhengke looked up at her. "Auntie doesn't have to be afraid, it's a medicine that can make people's bodies slowly become weak." I've only touched it once, and it's fine. If you are not at ease, you can take an ordinary antidote pill and wash your hands. ”
But Xu didn't wash his hands. Gritted his teeth and glared at the gold bracelet, and asked with a pale face: "The slave's luck is so bad, so coincidentally he took the medicine?" Or is it all dirty? She couldn't believe that the girl had encountered such things over and over again!
There weren't many pieces of jewelry, so Zong Zhengke simply distinguished them one by one. The crowd watched her with bated breath. She smiled: "Seventy percent of the drugs are drugged, and the properties of the drugs are still different, but they can all make people weak." If you take it when you have a headache and brain fever, I'm afraid it can cause a serious illness. ”
Xu frowned and said: "Such inferior goods, don't talk about girls, even we can't look down on them." How can the person who drugged us conclude that we will be tricked? ”
Zong Zhengke thought about it for a while, and said slowly: "Perhaps, some people think that our family is in ruins and has no assets. And I've never seen anything in the world?! ”
Xu Shi was stunned, and after thinking about it, he also smiled bitterly: "Maybe it's really like this." The situation of the old lady's room, if someone has a heart to check, it is easy to find out. The girl has been practicing penance in the nunnery for ten years, and this matter is not a secret, and you can find out by asking at will. ”
Yuchuan Mansion is prosperous enough, but how can it be compared with Suzhou, Hangzhou, Yunnan and Hangzhou? Not to mention the Uoiwa Mansion that is not as good as the Uogawa Mansion. And living in the nunnery, how can you live a luxurious and exquisite life? I'm afraid that in the eyes of some people in the Xiao family, their own girl is a rural village girl and a farmer?
Xu looked at those jewels again, and in her eyes, they were naturally inferior. But if it is brought to Mrs. Ren and others, I am afraid that people will be so happy that they can't keep their mouths shut. The shining foot red gold jewelry is both rich and gorgeous. Although the workmanship is slightly insufficient, if it is ordered in the silver building, it will be no less than 100 taels of silver.
Zong Zhengke said again: "Even if I don't use it, I may give it to you or reward it to those servants and maids outside." If someone is tricked because of this, but the originally healthy person slowly becomes weak and sickly, isn't it my bad luck? Perhaps, the rumors of the Gram people can also be spread. Who made me have neither a father nor a mother? ”
Xu Shi and the others were shocked, and they all looked at the rouge gouache on the dresser that was packed in exquisite jade boxes. Zong Zhengke also thought of this section, opened the lids of those boxes, sniffed the taste of lipstick and facial grease, and nodded: "Everything is of the highest quality, but it is also dirty. ”
Xu Shi closed his eyes and said bitterly: "I don't know who sent these things, but they are so calculating girls!" But to track it down, I'm afraid it will take some thought. Since it was purchased before the girl came, the accounts of the public high school that must have gone are purchased uniformly, and there are too many people who can do it! ”
She looked left and right up and down the room, and felt that the furniture and ornaments seemed to be wrapped with terrible poison, and they were waving their teeth and claws and shouting in condolence at her girl.
Zong Zhengke said calmly: "Auntie doesn't need to be suspicious, these objects have not been tampered with, but the varnish applied during the re-repair may not be clean." Although it has been scattered for many days, it still smells. It's okay in a short time, but if we stay for three or two months, I'm afraid we'll all get seriously ill! ”
She smiled leisurely and said, "Such a shallow method is not like it is intended to kill me, but to drive me away!" And there is no need to make a noise, so that people think that they have succeeded. (To be continued.) )
