Chapter 372: Puppy
At night, when Yan Xu came out of the clean room, he saw the little wife leaning on the lilac plain embroidered begonia flower pillow, counting stones there, and her eyes were the tenderness and sweetness he longed for.
It's a pity that it's not him who looks at it, but the stones.
Seeing Yan Xu come out, Linglong hurriedly put the gold-cut red lacquer box on the small case at the head of the bed, and the eyebrows under her eyes were slightly smiling, and she was in a good mood at first glance. She was already born with picturesque eyebrows, and at this time, she was even more radiant and beautiful, and Yan Xu's heart trembled.
"After the New Year, I will go to these stones to inlay it, and I will inlay you with a collar with eight treasures and pearls." Yan Xu sat down next to Linglong.
"On my birthday, the gold-inlaid Danfeng Chaoyang hairpin you gave me with many treasures and emeralds, the five emperors' sisters-in-law tested whether I was rewarded by the queen mother, if I wore a collar with eight treasures and beads, she might keep staring at my neck."
Yan Xu smiled and said: "In the spring of the year before last, the imperial court wanted to repair the river between the Anding River and the Haihe River, and the fifth sister-in-law privately invested 10,000 taels of shares. This 10,000 taels is not the fifth brother's money, nor is it the fifth sister-in-law's own private house, it was all made up by her and several ladies, and each of them promised money. She had no money to return for her 10,000 taels of blood, so she could only make up some of it, but it was only a drop in the bucket. It didn't take long to hide it, these ladies came to the door to ask for accounts, and also told their husbands about it, their husbands were all officials of the imperial court, and this matter soon reached the ears of the imperial history, and there were royal historians in the court words and blood and tears accusing the fifth brother and the fifth sister-in-law of greedy for the silver of the imperial court to govern the river, and said that they hated. I also had to hit the pillar, but fortunately, there was a eunuch pulling it, so it didn't hit it. The father was furious and stopped the fifth brother's New Year's salary. ”
"Ah, how can this kind of profitable business be completely lost, someone must have deliberately cheated the fifth sister-in-law, a heavy rain can collapse the ground, and there are all problems with labor and materials." Linglong asked.
Yan Xu touched her delicate sideburns appreciatively. Sure enough, she is the daughter of the Jin family. In a word.
"The fifth brother was fined and quarreled with the fifth sister-in-law, and the fifth sister-in-law was so angry that she fell seriously ill. After she recovered from her illness, she learned that in the project of repairing the river channel of Anding River, the second brother and the seventh brother accounted for a large share, and she lost 10,000 taels, but the second brother and the seventh brother earned 780,000 taels. Other words. She was cheated by them. ”
Linglong had long known that the fifth prince Ning Wang Yan Chang and the second prince and the seventh prince, but Princess Ning Gu Qiaoyan did not dare to deal with her eldest sister Gu Xiao. Whenever they meet Gu Keying, the seventh princess, the two sisters are at odds. But it turned out to be because of this.
"No wonder the fifth sister-in-law looked at my hairpin and her eyes were hot, she couldn't imagine that his family was so poor." Linglong sighed.
Yan Xu smiled: "How do you know that his family is poor, and there is not much in a year." You can't hurt your bones. ”
Linglong sighed: "The fifth sister-in-law didn't know anything, so she took 10,000 taels into the shares, which is not obvious to be a big wrong." There is a first time and a second time for such a thing. I don't believe that she only let people cheat this time, and there may be more we don't know. No matter how big the family business is, it can't help this compensation. ”
Speaking of this, she seemed to herself and said to Yan Xu: "You have to be careful in the future, if the fifth brother and fifth sister-in-law ask us to borrow money, or pull us into shares, you must be careful, it is best to hide far away." ”
Yan Xu laughed: "Since the fifth sister-in-law has hot eyes on your hairpin, and you are the daughter of the Jin family, she must think that you have a lot of private money, and you are young and ignorant, maybe she will be about to pull you into the shares." ”
Linglong opened her mouth wide, Yan Xu hurriedly closed it for her, money fans are afraid of being borrowed, and this one in front of her is the best example.
Yan Xu really didn't guess wrong, it didn't take long for Gu Qiaoyan to visit and encourage Linglong to join the company and do business together, but this is a later story.
A few days before the end of the year, the puppy from the Qixia Mountain Palace finally arrived, and it was really as Yan Xu planned, he was disgusted as soon as he stepped into the Yonghua Palace with the poor puppy, and the queen sneezed and directly blasted her precious son out with the dog.
Yan Xu walked out of Yonghua Palace, did not stay, and immediately returned home. Seeing that he was gone, Jingyi Nushi hurriedly asked people to open the window to clean up, and the queen sighed: "Don't bother, how can this palace be so squeamish." ”
There is plenty of air, which looks like a dog hair allergy and sneezing.
Seeing that Jingyi Nushi was a little surprised, the queen said: "Twelve must know that this palace is sensitive to dog hair, so he came back with a dog under the guise of this palace, if he wants to please this palace, just go to fight less, why hold a dog." The dog was brought to his little princess. The prince said that he was going to find lotus petals for the palace, and he didn't look for the tribute sent by Yunnan, but he wanted to go to the flower room of the Mao family. ”
Jueyin Ya Curie was full of laughter, the puppy that had just been picked up was half a year old, with golden hair, from the bottom of the neck to the tail was white, and the tail was rolled up, like a big chrysanthemum with white core and golden petals. The puppy's ears drooped, and it picked up at the slightest movement, a pair of big eyes were extraordinarily smart, always like a puddle of water, the little nose was black and upturned, wet, the four little paws were fluffy, and there were meat pads.
Chen Feng and Shi Pingsu also came over, even Chen Feng couldn't help but tease the puppy, Shi Pingsu also brought jerky, the puppy has always been raised by a special eunuch in the palace, trained very well, and is very smart. After eating a piece of jerky, he kept looking at Shi Pingsu, pitiful, and wanted a second piece.
Linglong asked the maid to measure the size of the puppy, and while there were still two days left, she made it a new dress for the New Year. Shi Pingsu rushed to let Cui Nong measure the size of the puppy, and said with a smile: "It's almost the New Year, the girls in your house have to get busy, just like me, I haven't made clothes for the puppy, the princess wants me to try." ”
Linglong responded with a smile, Chen Feng snorted coldly, and glanced at Shi Pingsu with disdain: "Hehe, it's really a capable person who works hard, I haven't learned to sew clothes for dogs, and I'm not as good as Sister Shi." ”
Shi Pingsu still smiled gently: "I don't know what the puppy's clothes are, I'll just make one randomly, don't laugh at me." ”
Seeing this, Linglong said: "The dog's clothes are as complicated as a person's, as long as you leave your stomach out and don't let it pee on your clothes." ”
As she spoke, she asked Xingyu to lead Cinon to pick up the materials, and after a while, Cuinon came back with a few pieces of colorful fabric, all of which were leftover from sewing clothes.
Chen Feng's nurse Mama Miao saw that Chen Feng and Shi Pingsu had said goodbye again, so she joked: "Every time I make clothes, there is always some cloth left, one in the east and one in the west, and I can only sew some purse handkerchiefs. I don't know if the puppy wears shoes or not, if the princess doesn't dislike the mother-in-law's clumsiness, the mother-in-law will help the second lady buy a pair of shoes for the puppy. ”
Chen Feng on the side was so angry that her face turned red, she only felt that Mama Miao had lost her face, and before Linglong could speak, she rushed to say, "Don't you still want to help me make clothes for the prince?" How can you still be free, whoever has spare time will let whoever do it, why are you grabbing this? ”
