Chapter 201 Congratulatory Gifts

The autumn moon hangs high, but it can't shine into the window of Yonglu Tower. On the doors and windows of Yonglu Building, all the black cotton curtains are hung. There was not a trace of wind in the room, and the air seemed to freeze.

Mrs. Cheng sat in front of the gilded cable mirror in a brocade shirt, looking at the face in the mirror that she had not looked at carefully for many days, and her eyes were full of criticism. "Okay, okay, clumsy."

The little maid who combed Mrs. Cheng's hair was stopped by the drink. Mama Qu glanced at the little maid and asked her to go out.

"Let's let the slave come, although the slave is a little dazzled, it is not possible to pick a needle and recognize the thread, and it is still possible to comb the hair." Mama Qu took the sandalwood horn comb and combed Mrs. Tongcheng's hair one by one, and the fine hair turned up under the comb occasionally flashed a few shocking wisps of white light......

"Isn't there more gray hair?" Mrs. Cheng stared at Mama Qu's eyes in the mirror.

Mama Qu sucked her tall pointed nose, "Madam is still young, how can she have gray hair!" Mama Qu's thin index finger ruffled Mrs. Cheng's hair, and she looked at it carefully.

"You're all old, how can I not have gray hair!" Mrs. Cheng's narrow eyes flashed sharply and dimmed. There are not many people close to her, and she doesn't want to be too serious with Mama Qu. Sycophants are always in a good mood!

"Is there any movement on the old lady's side? Tomorrow will be the birthday banquet of Hefu. ”

"Yesterday, the third master came back, and it seems that he specially sent the mutton fat jade bottle to the old lady of Cuiyuan."

Mrs. Cheng let out an "oh", and said strangely: "Where did the money come from in the third room to buy a new bottle?" ”

"The slave maid inquired, it was the third master who went to Jiangdu to find a craftsman to repair the mutton fat jade bottle."

"How can such a thing happen? That fool is nosy! Mrs. Cheng looked incredulous, "Didn't you say that the bottle was broken into a few pieces, and it was useless!" That idiot of the Wu clan thought he had broken it......"

Mama Qu put down her comb and smiled in the mirror, and Mrs. Cheng looked left and right. Nodding in satisfaction.

Mama Qu continued to speak, "The slave and maid don't know what the cultivation has become, the third master sent it over, and the old lady took a look at it and locked the treasure chest...... The third master is not stupid now, really! This is not an idle matter, if the old lady really can't use the silver, the furniture in the third room has to be thought of to make up the hole for the old lady......"

Mrs. Cheng got up. Mama Qu hurriedly and carefully held on. "Madame, just right. Walk slowly. ”

Mrs. Cheng walked to the soft couch of the concubine and lay down, and Mama Qu hurriedly took the cloak with fox fur collar and covered it with Mrs. Cheng. Mrs. Cheng shivered, "It's not cold today." Getting this fur cover makes people feel itchy and uncomfortable. ”

"Madame is right." Mama Qu hurriedly took off the cloak again.

"After lying down for so many days, my legs and feet are numb. Ay! Mrs. Cheng glanced at Mama Qu, "Where did you just go?" Sit down and talk. There are no outsiders in this house. ”

Mama Qu graciously leaned into the chair, "I just talked about that bottle." It's a rag if you make up for it, how good can it be! I guess the old lady is really helpless. At the end of the year, Baifuyuan and Yonglu Lou only had silver to pay tribute, and now the old lady's money is so tight, and the things on her face are not important. ”

"That's not what I just said!" Mrs. Cheng was a little impatient. "Isn't the fool going to the autumn test? Why did you come back home yesterday and haven't left yet? ”

"I heard that the third master will not participate in the autumn examination. The slave maid estimated that Mrs. Jiang did not have the money to wrap around the third master for the exam. How can you make any money from those two industries in Muxi Garden! Slaves and maids estimate that it is difficult for them to open their mouths! ”

Mama Qu saw Mrs. Cheng's thin lips slightly curled the corners of her mouth, and knew that she had spoken of Mrs. Cheng's heart. Then he said: "The weather suddenly became cold a while ago, and the stones in the mountains could not be dug up...... There is also the dyeing workshop that said that it had a relationship with the weaving division. The lady of the official office is not unaware, and it takes so long to collect the payment, but I am afraid that even the turnover silver will have to be put in. The dyed ones are also military supplies, which can be worth a few silver ......"

"You know a lot!" Mrs. Cheng narrowed her narrow eyes, and a smile unconsciously appeared on her face. "This time it's cheaper, Jin Hai's girl!"

Jin Hai was scared enough this time, and he was punished. Madame is kind, count her lucky. It's just that I didn't expect the eldest grandmother to be ruthless enough, and she actually said that she would sell the golden hairpin to the flower boat......"

"That concubine will give her two more days, and when Ling Ju comes back from Lin'an, let's clean her up together. What a girl who thinks so! Mrs. Cheng yawned, and Mama Qu hurriedly carried her into the inner room and lay down on the bed.

"Madame, rest well, tomorrow I will go to Hefu Fei spirit! There must be a good show to watch......" Mama Qu saw Mrs. Cheng stretch her eyebrows and giggle twice, and then giggled a few times and exited the door......

Mrs. Wu bought the mutton fat jade bottle for the old lady, and Mama Qu inquired about it in advance. The mutton fat jade bottle that Wu's got at a high price was not the same bottle as her fancie, and Mama Qu secretly asked the shopkeeper to adjust the bag, and more than half of the silver that Wu's took out was for Mama Qu to take back Yonglu Building.

What Mrs. Wu got in her hand was a substandard product with cracks inside, and when Mrs. Wu took it out and admired it under the lamp, the bottle was split in half in Mrs. Wu's hand. Where is Mrs. Wu willing to take this responsibility, there is no way for a while. Luo Chan used clay to glue the bottle with glutinous rice, and put the crack under the bottom of the brocade box.

Mrs. Wu was not at ease, and Luo Chan said that as long as the people from Cuiyuan took over, even if they found that the bottle was broken, it was not related to Baifuyuan. Mrs. Rong didn't take it out and look at it, and of course she didn't find it. Mama Qu kept staring at this until she pitted the golden hairpin in the warehouse......

If the bottle is broken in the hands of the Wu family, of course the Wu family will have to pay for it, and it is not good to make her a housekeeper. If it is broken in the hands of Cuiyuan people, of course, it will be necessary to connect with Mu Xiyuan to repay the debt as soon as possible......

Who knows thousands of calculations, but they don't know that Rong Xi has the ability to rejuvenate with a wonderful hand. A gold-carved mutton fat jade bottle has really become a beautiful place in Hefu, and it has also opened up another way for Rong Xi and Luo Yan to make money......

In the backyard of the dyeing workshop, Mrs. Jiang looked at the curtain in Rong Xi's hand in a daze, "This, is it really a birthday gift?" ”

"Does my mother think it looks good?" Rong Xi's eyes must have been staring at the door curtain, and his eyes were full of appreciation. At noon, Rongfu sent a small servant to send a birthday banquet to Hefu to ask for advice, and Mrs. Jiang was anxious when she saw the day! Tomorrow He Fu will have a birthday, and this time it will be Luo Yan's miscarriage and moving, and she has forgotten about this ballast.

Rong Xi and Rong Yongxi came back from the front yard dyeing workshop, and Mrs. Jiang talked about it anxiously. Rong Xi said that Luo Yan seemed to be ready for a long time. Mrs. Jiang's heart fell to the ground, and it wasn't until Rong Xi took the curtain and came over to show her that Mrs. Jiang's eyes had doubts again......

"It's good-looking, but how can you give someone a curtain as a birthday gift."

"The lady also prepared a tapestry, and like this pattern, it will be wrapped and sent away at that time." Rong Xi smiled, he didn't expect that with a few strokes added to the sample, the dyed sample cloth would be so good! It's just that the cloth is still piled up in the storeroom. The orders given by the weaving division to the millennium dyeing mill were all fabrics for the marching camp in solid colors.

"I don't think so!" Rong Yongxi rubbed the curtain of the door, and the beads on it glittered in the light. "Birthday celebration is a heart, not a valuable gift. Besides, this gift is not light, you see these beads, it should be the daughter-in-law who broke down her bead chain and sewed it up. ”

"Not really!" Mrs. Jiang also saw the value of the jade beads above, and couldn't help but blush. "Yan'er really has a heart. It's just that if the weather is bad for Ming'er, she should not go. ”

"The lady has been lying down for seven or eight days, and you don't let her get out of bed, she is all stuffy, and it's good to go out tomorrow to see the excitement. Rest assured, with me, I won't let my mother get frozen. ”

Rong Yongxi and Mrs. Jiang glanced at each other, smiled and nodded, "Go and tell Yan'er quickly, make her happy!" ”

Rong Xi smiled and walked out quickly to report the good news to Luo Yan, Luo Yan was trapped in bed for a few days, and her heart was really stuffy......
