Chapter 378: Boxing II

The day before Han Pengcheng and Sun Qian got married, Situ Jiao and Zhou Yaqi made an appointment to go to Sun's Mansion to add makeup to Sun Qian.

When Sun Qian played the makeup gift given by Situ Jiao, she immediately attracted a burst of amazement.

"Ouch, Jiaojiao's makeup can compare to all of us. This ruby must have just come from the north, but it's beautiful! ”

"Jiaojiao is really generous!"

Situ Jiao affectionately held Sun Qian and raised her chin proudly, looked at the little sisters and said, "Let's do this fat water and not flow into the fields of outsiders!" Who asked Sister Sun to marry my eldest cousin! ”

"Jiaojiao, this girl is getting worse and worse, this can't be a hot eye!" Miss Tuesday Zhou Yajue pretended to be annoyed and pointed at Situ Jiao.

Among the few people who came to add makeup to Sun Qian at about the same time as Situ Jiao, only Zhou Yajue's future husband seems to have a distant relationship with the Marquis of Anning's mansion, so he said this.

"Sister Tuesday rest assured, there is still more than a month before Tuesday's sister gets married, and there may be a new baby at that time! Even if there is no new baby coming, Jiaojiao is for Sister Tuesday! Situ raised his eyebrows at Zhou Yajue and said with a smile.

Zhou Yajue is Zhou Yaqi's cousin and the princess's own sister, Situ Jiao will not thin her makeup.

Although Situ Jiao's return to the Anning Marquis Mansion was not long, since she returned to the mansion, both the Han family and Situ Kong have given her a lot of good things.

There are also gifts given to her by the mother and son of the Duchess of Jianguo, Chen and Yang Lingxiao, and the recent arrival of special goods from the north and south respectively in Kyoto, which has added a lot of precious and rare things to Situ Jiao's private treasury.

Therefore, adding makeup to a few good sisters really didn't add any pressure to Situ Jiao.

"Yes, yes, you know that you are a little rich woman!" Zhou Yajue reached out and gently poked Situ Jiao's forehead, puffing out her face and sneering.

Han Pengcheng's wedding was unprecedentedly lively because of the help of a group of brothers from the Yulin Guard.

As the groom, Han Pengcheng went to the Sun Mansion to greet the bride surrounded by a group of handsome Yu Linlang, and his momentum was particularly eye-catching, and the bride's ten-mile red makeup was also talked about.

As soon as Han Pengcheng's wedding passed, the time soon entered April, and the festival ceremony of the Marquis of Anning's Mansion to the north was ready to go on the road under the operation of Situ Jiao, and along with the festival sent by the Jianguo Mansion to the north border pass.

After finishing the gift sent to the northern border pass, Situ Jiao began to prepare for the festival gifts to the main family and the Lin family in Shunping County and to the Zhengde Women's College in Tokyo Prefecture.

Situ Jiao, who was recommended by Han, naturally would not rashly prepare for the festival without seeing the gift list of previous years.

According to Han's suggestion, most of the Boxing Gift Lists in previous years were in the hands of the old lady.

However, Situ Jiao did not go directly to the old lady to ask about it, but first asked Mama An to knock on the side, and after finding out the old lady's basic attitude, she raised this matter with some embarrassment when she asked the old lady for peace.

"This year, my mother handed over the Dragon Boat Festival ceremony to her granddaughter, and my grandmother also knew that my granddaughter had no experience in this area, so she came to learn from her grandmother." Situ Jiao looked at the old lady with a deferential expression.

The old lady looked at Situ Jiao with some gloomy eyes, as if she wanted to see Situ Jiao inside and out, Situ Jiao's clear big eyes were clear and waveless, as if she was really just asking the old lady for advice.

Since the Han family gave birth to Situ Jiao, her health has not been good, and the old lady used this excuse to take back the Han family's power early.

Since then, the rituals of the Marquis of Anning's Mansion, except for the gifts sent to the north and south border gates and the gifts of General Han's Mansion, have always been handled by the old lady and Lin Shuqin.

Situ Jiao came to ask the old lady to pay attention, which really made the old lady find out unreasonable.

The grandparents and grandchildren were silent for a long time, and then the old lady pointed to the cabinet and asked Mama An to find the gift list of last year's Dragon Boat Festival: "I'm old, and my body is useless, these are the gift lists of last year's Dragon Boat Festival, take them and do it with your mother." ”

Situ Jiao hurriedly took the gift list, and her face flashed with joy and gratitude: "Thank you, grandmother, having these can save me and my mother a lot of troubles." ”

Seeing Situ Jiao happily taking the gift list, a trace of hesitation flashed on the old lady's face, and she said after a long time: "Shunping Lin family, let's reduce the list by three!" ”

Situ Jiao couldn't help but be surprised, minus three percent, it won't be too much!

Anyway, that's her maiden home, and the old lady is embarrassed?

Although Situ Jiao couldn't wait to give a gift to the Lin family, and from the bottom of her heart, she also hoped that the old lady would directly tell her to give a gift to the Lin family, but she still showed a hesitant look on her face: "Grandmother?!" This, that's not very good! ”

An inexplicable trace of love flashed in the old lady's eyes, and she didn't say more, but insisted: "Just take last year's minus three percent!" ”

Then he waved his hand weakly at Situ Jiao and told her to retreat.

Situ Jiao's heart was a little suspicious, and she couldn't figure out what the old lady meant, so she hurriedly came to Han's Plum Garden with the gift list given to her by the old lady.

Situ Jiao raised the gift list in her hand, conveyed the old lady's meaning to the Han family, and finally asked suspiciously: "Mother, do we really reduce the festival by three percent?" Isn't that too ugly? ”

Han Shi shook his head, smiled mockingly, and pointed to the stack of gift slips that Situ Jiao had already placed on the table and said, "Jiaojiao, have you seen these gift lists that the old lady gave you?" ”

Situ Jiao naturally didn't have time to look at it, she was really frightened by the old lady's big money of reducing it by thirty percent.

No, after leaving Ci'an Garden, Benmei Garden came.

Since the Han family intended to let her read the gift list first, Situ Jiao had to calm down first and patiently read the gift list one by one, and these gift lists were all spent from the general account of the Marquis of Anning's mansion.

Situ Jiao looked at the past one by one, although the rituals of the Marquis of Anning Mansion in previous years were not simple, they were not out of the ordinary, even the gifts to the Situ family and the General's Mansion were decent.

It's just that when she saw the last gift list, she finally understood why the old lady had reduced it by three percent, and why the Han family was mocking.

The gift list with a few words written on the Shunping Lin family in his hand can no longer be regarded as a gift list for the Dragon Boat Festival.

Whoever gives a Dragon Boat Festival gift, they actually have to offer silver, and one gift is two hundred taels, don't have a whole set of jewelry!

If this gift list is all converted into silver, it will definitely not be less than five hundred taels, and the gift to the Situ family and the general's mansion is only one hundred taels when it is full.

In this way, even if the gift list is subtracted by thirty percent, the festival gift to the Lin family is still more than three times higher.

Looking at such a gift list, Situ Jiao's heart swelled with anger, and his face sank. (To be continued.) )
