Chapter 225: Turning Over Boxes and Cabinets (3)
According to Yun'er's instructions, everyone carried all the gifts belonging to Mr. to Mr.'s upstairs bedroom, and Ma Ping's gifts were placed in the east wing downstairs of Mr., and then dispersed. The grandmothers and maids were embarrassed to look at the gentleman's gift and avoided it. Yun'er also finished feeding, handed over the child to her parents to take care of, and said to her parents: "Yun'er and Liangzi will send Sister Peach's gift first, and then I'll tell you the gift later." With that, he left in a hurry with Tian Liang and Yu'er.
"This Yun'er, why is he so busy? I said, sir, are these things for us? How much silver does this cost? Open it up and take a look? "Mrs. Chen is also an anxious child.
"Let's wait for Yun'er to come back." The gentleman was not in a hurry, and his attention was attracted by the strange words on the box. Mr. carefully identified the words on the top of the box, the words on the big box were all in Hanyu Pinyin, and Mr. looked very much like the font code used by Westerners. There were Chinese characters on the small box, but more than half of them were simplified characters that Mr. Hanlin did not recognize. There he muttered, "What is this?" How plausible? ”
Mrs. Chen's dowry maid Feng Mama proudly said to Mrs. Chen: "Miss, our four girls gave birth to a prince before, and this time we came back with a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, just look at the prince's so many gifts for you and your aunt, this honor can't be escaped." ”
"But who knows how much Yun'er has suffered outside? I didn't even bring a girl, no matter how much the prince hurt her, she was also a man, I really don't know how Yun'er survived when she had a big belly. ”
"Our girl was a capable person when she didn't go out of the cabinet, and that neat and free energy is also the prince's favorite, and in the future, the prince will love her even more."
Mrs. Chen couldn't respond to Mama Feng's praise for her daughter, so she diverted the topic and said:
"The place where they went to put things is so strange, and the boxes are made of paper shells." Mrs. Chen used her eyes to visually measure the size of the box, which was three feet high, three feet long and wide, and the wooden box at home was not as big as this, so how many things could be contained in it.
Mama Feng is not only happy for her own young lady, but also happy for her daughter, the fourth girl. gave birth to a prince who was already on an equal footing with Fujin, and gave birth to a pair of excellent dragon and phoenix fetuses. According to the prince's honor in front of the emperor, the two little masters will definitely have titles. The mother factor is expensive, and the good days of the four girls are still ahead. Back then, my uncle was not too willing to marry the fourth girl to the prince, wouldn't he be a little older? Marrying a young man with a family background does not have this kind of glory and wealth.
Yun'er sent the gift of the peach over and came back. Peaches is a special person in the house, even if she is not the master, she can't be used as an ordinary grandmother. The prince gave her a position of "etiquette teaching", which is the status of teaching the grandmother in the palace, responsible for teaching the rules and etiquette of the new maids, and the peach has served the masters in the palace for more than ten years, and is still very familiar with the palace rules. The people of the palace must learn both the palace rules and the palace rules, because the emperor and the queen mother may come to the palace at any time, and the maid and the lady have to kneel and bow to the queen mother and the emperor according to the palace rules.
Peaches has served the prince personally, and he can be regarded as a meritorious person, so Yun'er still used his brains in the gift. It is indeed the prince who asked Yun'er to prepare for Peaches, that is, the gift of Peaches is planned, and it is packed in a foreign land, more than Mama Zheng, less than Mother's, a whole box is packed, and there is a small box of food and drink. moved the peach to tears, and despite Yun'er's refusal, he pulled his daughter to kowtow to Yun'er.
Yun'er returned to the old lady's room, teased the children for a while, and then said gifts to her parents: "The four big boxes and these small boxes in your room are for your second elder, the big boxes are fabrics, underwear, bed sheets and something, as well as jewelry and a little handicrafts for the mother, the four treasures of the study for the father, and the small boxes are drinks and snacks." The boxes downstairs are from the prince's uncle's house, Ruiqian's brother's, uncle's, Ma Yuanwai's, and Liangzi's senior brother Zhao Tieyan. Each home comes with a small box of snacks. Names are written on them. ”
The gifts to Mr. were designated by the prince, and all the goods were exchanged for Mr. Chen's antiques, although they could not exceed Fujin, nor could they be less. As the commander of Tong, who is also the father-in-law of the prince, he can't give less, and there are four.
"Why do you still have a gift from your uncle's house? Your brother Ruiqian also has a copy? Mr. sighed that the prince was kind, his brothers had passed away, and the prince was still thinking about his house.
"Your uncle has a part, too?" Mrs. Chen definitely didn't expect that her maiden brother would have a gift from the prince.
Yun'er said: "Uncle is the right-hand man of Fujin's parents, Ruiqian's brother and uncle belong to our Chen series, Ma Yuanwai is your disciple, and Zhao Guard is the son of the old Zhao Guard, so they should all have gifts." The things in this transparent pocket are Feng Mama's, which are the same as several Mama in Fujin's room, Mama Wang's and Song's gifts are in Fujin's gift box, and Jiang Mama and Lin Mama's are in Yun'er's gift box. None of these gifts are very valuable, just a thought. Things are not very different from our Daqing, there may be some you don't know, Yun'er will tell you at any time when she comes back to deliver milk. ”
"What's that about? You and the prince brought back from afar, and the gifts are also a part of the slave and maid? Mama Feng was surprised and moved.
"Of course there is yours, you and your mother have been together for half a lifetime, and if you have a mother, you will have yours."
"Thank you, four girls." Mama Feng was moved to tears and thanked Yun'er for her gifts. The current four girls are the treasures of the prince, and if you change someone, your eyes may grow to the top of your head, who still has the girl who serves the old lady in her heart?
"Mama Feng and I are polite, what? If you like it, it's fine. Mother, Yun'er bought some books for her father, but there are few of them here, they are all mixed with Yun'er's books, and I can't find them for a while, and I will take them at any time when I find them. ”
Looking at Mama Wang and Mama Song's eager eyes when they looked at the gifts, he said, "Mama Wang and Mama Song's share is in Fujin." ”
Wang and Song Erma hurriedly gave Yun'er a salute: "Slave and maid thank Master Yun for his grace." ”
"Why don't you see Xuan'er and Rui'er?"
The gentleman said, "I just poured boxes into the house, and my father was afraid of touching them, so he asked them to go upstairs to play with you." Yun'er, you said that the name was written on the box, why did Dad only see the letters of foreigners and specious strange words on it? ”
"That is not a foreigner's alphabet, it is the Chinese pinyin used in foreign countries, if you are interested, wait for Yun'er to teach you when she is free, it is very simple and easy to learn." The plausible word you said is a simplified word over there. ”
"I don't know if it's acceptable?"
"Rest assured, with your IQ, it's okay to accept this knowledge."
"What is IQ? There are a lot of new words in your mouth. ”
"It's just that your brain is good or not. Don't worry, this pinyin is something that children over there have to learn before school, and children as young as four or five years old can accept it, not to mention you. This is a knowledge that the Qing Dynasty does not have, it is a completely unfamiliar thing, and no one knows how fast or slow, who still laughs at you. If you want to understand foreign books, you have to learn simplified words, and it is best to learn pinyin before you recognize simplified words, and then you can turn to the dictionary to learn by yourself. The purpose of learning simplified characters is to read the books over there, and you have to use our characters when you write. Xuan'er ate at my place at noon. ”
Mrs. Chen hurriedly asked her daughter what was going on with the boxes in the Xinuan Pavilion downstairs, and Yun'er only said a rough idea that day. So Yun'er told her mother in more detail: "These are the gifts that the prince brought to your room, and the boxes downstairs are the seasonings and cooking utensils for you to try to make snacks in the future, and some of the small foods over there are snacks." In the future, you will have to undertake the task of training chefs for the restaurant and restaurant opened by the prince. You can taste the food as you like, you can copy the recipe above and learn to make it yourself. But the dosage is not specified, you can figure it out yourself. ”
"You said that the prince wants his mother to open a restaurant and a restaurant in the future to train chefs?"
"yes, aren't you particularly interested in making snacks? I usually cook food for my dad when I have nothing to do, and I have mastered a lot of snacks. Yun'er also bought you some books for making snacks, try to make some when you are fine, and let Dad and Xuan'er Rui'er help you taste them. When you turned around, you ordered someone to empty out all the boxes in the Xinuan Pavilion downstairs, and find out the food that you were afraid of being spoiled and eat it, wouldn't it be a pity if it didn't go bad? These things were all bought with the help of Sister Han over there, and I finally brought them back, don't mess with them. ”
"Does Fujin have it?"
"Fujin has it, and it's also in the Xinuan Pavilion downstairs from her. Fujin is responsible for trying the big dishes, and Yun'er is trying to make Western snacks, which are the dim sum eaten by big-nosed foreigners. ”
"You're going to do that?"
"Yun'er learned from Sister Han. In the future, the prince will do something to make some money for the emperor's treasury, and the prince will tell you and your father about this. ”
"You mean that the prince will have to do business in the future? He's such a simple man......"
"Doing business is honest and talented, don't lift the scale pole, don't cheat people, don't hurt people."
"That's what you said, your brother Ruiqian's cloth village is not big, but there are a lot of repeat customers, isn't it that he is not bullied and trades fairly?"
"Okay, you, even Tong Su knows it. Doing business and cheating people is actually pit himself, and the people who are cheating him know about it, and next time he will never buy his things again, won't he cut off his own financial route? ”
"Don't say it, it's really such a reason, the prince can't do business and pit people, I'm afraid that people will pit him."
"That's not necessarily, the prince is kind, but he is very wise, and Fujin, me, my father, and Tian Guards all help him, he won't do it at first, but he will do it later."
"Wait! It seems that the imperial court does not allow officials to do business, right? It occurred to him that the gentleman had thought of this.
"There is this law in the Qing Dynasty, and officials are not allowed to do business. But that refers to the fact that business officials take advantage of their positions to collect personal wealth, and the prince's money is handed over to the emperor to send to the treasury, which is completely different in nature. Will the emperor object to the prince making money for him? Also, those books that Yun'er bought for her father, I don't know if it's the right way or not, and it's not easy to find it for a while, so when will I find it and when I'll give it to you. ”
"Dad is not in a hurry, just tell Dad what kind of book did you buy for Daddy?"
"There are "All Tang Poems" and "All Song Ci" that you have not been able to get together, as well as "Zizhi Tongjian" and "Dream of Red Mansions" and "Ciyuan" that the Qing Dynasty did not have, and that set of "Etymology" includes almost all Chinese characters and vocabulary, a total of four books, all of which are hardcover; There are also a number of reference books that you may use. There are also books and children's stories for Xuan'er, Xue'er, and Rui'er to buy children's Chinese painting primers, as well as a set of "100,000 Whys", as well as liberal arts and science textbooks from primary school to university, and reference books, which are too specific to say, most of them are in boxes containing books, and when you find them, you will bring them. Yun'er knew that Daddy liked books the most, so she bought them for you, and she didn't know if it suited your taste. Yun'er also has myopia glasses and reading glasses there, and Yun'er doesn't know how your eyesight is, whether it's myopia or flowering, and she will find a suitable one for you. These little boxes are full of food and drinks, you can try them. This can is filled with beer, beer is stomach-healthy, Yun'er opened one for her father, and next time she will make it herself. ”
"You girl really dare to call the shots, why did you bring so much food to your father? The prince has many brothers and nephews, can he divide them? ”
"The prince's brother and nephew have already been packed. The gift was ordered by the prince to Yun'er, and there will be no problems, you can rest assured. It's just something to eat and drink, a little more and a little less. The prince didn't give so many gifts to other princes, because he thought that the princes couldn't be too close to each other, not reluctant. ”
"The prince is right to do this. If you have a lot of things, go back, Dad's gifts here are slowly coming back, and the days to come will be long, take your time. ”
Then Yun'er went back. Baby, Beibei, say goodbye to Eniang?" Yun'er pulled Baby Beibei's fat hand and kissed them on the cheek, and the way to say goodbye to Baby and Beibei was to jump on Grandma and Grandpa's legs several times and giggle.
"Yun'er still has something to toss there, so I'll go back first." Saying that, he left in a hurry.
After Yun'er left, Mrs. Chen said to her husband: "Master, how can I listen to Yun'er Jing say some strange things, what is vain?" ”
"How do I understand? It seems to mean goodbye. I really don't know what Yun'er and the place they went to look like.
"This girl, why is she so busy that she doesn't have the time to say a few words? Master, did you hear what Yun'er said? Why does the prince think that one is one out, and he has nothing to do with business? ”
"Shhhh How many times have I told you, don't talk about the prince behind your back. Throughout the ages, which prince have you heard of making money in business and handing it over to the emperor? What a high level of people you have to be to do this! The prince must have a plan, otherwise he could buy so many things back? ”
"However, the prince has put so many boxes downstairs in Yun'er, how much jealousy does he have to arouse?"
"Those things don't seem to belong to Yun'er, they are placed there for her. Didn't you see that Yun'er's hall is convenient for loading things? And then Yun'er's residence is in the innermost position in the house, and no one usually visits the door, and the things are kept secret. ”
"What you said makes sense, I'm afraid that Yun'er will get into trouble because of these boxes, and I don't know what the boxes are in."
"You don't have to worry about it, in short, the prince knows it. I sound like those things are under the management of Yun'er, and it seems that the prince trusts Yun'er very much. ”
"Yes, yes, this time Yun'er is really favored."
"This is not something that is said casually, pay attention to proportion."
"I know, didn't I just tell you alone?"
"Tell me to be careful about the ears of the wall."
