Chapter 36: Finding Out the News (2nd Update)

"Since Brother and Sister Zhao are fortunate enough to know the steward of Yininglou, can you use the face of your younger siblings to let the steward appreciate her face and customize jewelry for her mother?" Song Yi was smiling, looking like a gentleman, but for some reason, Qian Ning felt that his smile was creepy: "Second son, the shopkeeper Zhang also said that the young girl is not in the building, even if I come forward, the second son will not be able to see the young girl." ”

"It's not that I'm going to see the young girl today, I just want the young girl to help design the birthday gift for my mother."

What the? Let yourself design jewelry for Princess Ann? Since Yininglou officially gained a firm foothold in the capital, in order to prevent being discovered, he had already stopped designing, where did Song Yi know that the young girl would still design jewelry?

It was not only Qianning who was frightened by Song Yi's words, Zhang De also hurriedly said: "The second prince may not have heard what he said, the design of our first building is under the control of the Ming Zhe son, and the young girl is not involved, if the second son really wants to design a unique jewelry for the princess, why don't you ask the Ming Zhe son and let him do it for you personally?" ”

Zhang De made such a big concession, and Song Yi also knew that he would accept it when he saw it: "Since Shopkeeper Zhang said this, then I won't embarrass you in the future, then there is a lot of care for the shopkeeper in the Xia, whether it can be done or not, please give a word as soon as possible." ”

Zhang De bent down slightly and said respectfully: "That's natural, I will definitely give you a reply tomorrow." ”

The matter was settled, Song Yi was no longer entangled, and Qian Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief and immediately resigned and returned to the Hou Mansion.

Song Yi also returned to the palace with his two younger sisters.

Song Wan was a little puzzled by Song Yi's behavior, and couldn't help asking: "Second brother, my mother has never liked extravagance and waste, so the jewelry designed by Ming Zhe Gongzi is not cheap, why does the second brother have to be obsessed with letting Yininglou order it for his mother alone?" ”

"This is my mother's birthday for the whole year, my mother is used to being thrifty, and she always doesn't care about dressing up, and there must be a lot of nobles in the palace to celebrate her birthday on her birthday, and I also hope to have a face in front of them at present." Song Yi dialed the incense burner in the carriage and quietly answered Song Wan's question.

"The second brother still has a heart," Song Wan said sincerely, but she was soon a little worried, "I just wonder if the wise son will give us face and take this list?" ”

Song Yi smiled and said firmly: "Then you can rest assured, Gongzi Mingzhe will definitely take over this job." ”

"Why?" Song Wan and Song Ting both asked in unison.

Song Yi made a "shh You two go back first, I still have something to do, so I won't go back to the palace." With that, he stopped the carriage, lifted the curtain and jumped down.

Jiang Dong had already been waiting beside him with his horses, and when he saw Song Yi jumping down, he hurriedly greeted him: "Second Young Master, where are we going?" ”

"Go to the Li family's cake shop in the east of the city, let's also go and listen to some gossip about the Lu family." Song Yi took the reins and was about to turn over and get on the horse.

Jiang Dong was a little puzzled, and hurriedly asked, "Why are we going to inquire about the Lu family?" ”

"Then Grandma Zhao actually has such a big face, let the shopkeeper of Yininglou carry it for her, if you don't find out her details, how can you let her enter and leave our palace with confidence?" The look in Song Yi's eyes pressed, and he rode on his horse and drove to the east of the city.

When Qianning returned to the Hou Mansion, she was not in a hurry to listen to Yuxuan to rest, but went to Yunhuatang with Mengqian to ask for peace to the Liu family.

Liu had long heard that Qianning took a few girls out to buy jewelry, so naturally she had to ask what they bought? But what's there to see?

Mengqian is not like Mengying, she can talk non-stop by herself, basically she answers when Liu asks, in order not to make the scene look too dull, Qian Ning also spent a lot of words. In Liu's opinion, Qianning and Mengqian's sister-in-law have had a lot of dealings, and the relationship is much more harmonious than before, and they can't help but feel very comforted, and when they are happy, they leave the two to have dinner together in Yunhuatang.

Qianning also felt the softening of Mengqian's attitude, and had the intention to have a good relationship with her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, so she deliberately told Mengqian about her promise to help make a chain rope for the amber pendant during the meal.

Liu was even more surprised, his daughter's temperament is best understood, not easy to be good to others, in the entire Hou Mansion, except for Qiu'er, that is, Mengying played better with her, and now that Qianning has only been married for a few days, it is really rare to be able to say that Mengqian helps. In addition to being delighted, Liu also became curious about the amber, what kind of jewelry could get the blue eyes of Qianning and Mengqian.

Since Liu was interested, Mengqian opened the brocade box. Liu Shi took out the amber and looked at it carefully, only to feel extremely simple, and after listening to Qianning's introduction, Fang sensed the whimsy in it, and couldn't help but admire: "No wonder the business of this Ninglou is getting more and more prosperous, there is such a character who can think of ideas, I'm afraid it's difficult to think about it or not......

"That's not it, this is just the study of Mingzhe Gongzi when he first debuted, if you really look at his current finished product, I'm afraid I won't be able to take my eyes off." Qianning boasted of her own jewelry, which was also gushing and honorable.

Liu sighed when he heard it: "I don't know who can be lucky enough to get the special design of the prince Mingzhe......"

"It's not very difficult," Mengqian, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, "Today, the second son of the Song family has a promise from the shopkeeper of the Ninglou to let the prince Mingzhe design a piece of jewelry for Princess An's birthday." ”

Liu Shi was surprised: "You also met the young master of King An's Mansion today?" ”

"Exactly, and the third and fourth girls in their house. They also said that they would invite us over to the princess's birthday banquet. Mengqian continued.

"That's really good," Liu couldn't hide the joy in his heart, "The banquet in King An's Mansion has always been an occasion for all families in the capital to attend, and even the nobles in the palace have participated from time to time. Liu Shi looked at Mengqian with eagerness as he spoke, "Now you are not small, in the past, because I was a widow, I didn't have much opportunity to take you to this kind of occasion, but now that I have Qianning with me, I can go out and walk around a lot in the future." ”

Mengqian was a little unhappy: "Mother, you know that I don't like this kind of lively occasion, so I won't go." ”

Liu Shi also sank his face: "What nonsense, if you don't attend these occasions, how can you help you talk about family affairs?" ”

"I don't want to get married, so I stay at home with my mother." Mengqian said stubbornly.

"I don't need you to accompany me, you can marry a good family, my mother can rest assured......"

Mengqian wanted to say something more, but Qian Ning hurriedly pinched down the conversation and said: "The second sister is also afraid that her mother will be lonely and lonely, so she said this, but don't worry, I am still here, and I will take good care of my mother." ”

Ling'er also said from the side: "That is, in the future, the young grandmother will have another brother and sister, and it will be too late for our long room to be lively." ”

Liu likes to listen to this the most, and said happily: "Ling'er just can speak." ”

Qian Ning pretended to be embarrassed to lower her head, but out of the corner of her eyes, she saw that Mengqian's face, which was still a little happy, was gloomy, and she wondered a little, didn't she want the long room to have a queen?

Mengqian didn't stay any longer, got up and left.

Qian Ning thought about how to ask the Liu family about the relative in her family who worked in the yamen of the capital. Liu Shi spoke first: "This morning, although the old marquis promised Yan'er to go to the academy to live, but the matter of the round house will not be delayed, it is too late for Yan'er to pack his bags in the past two days, but I have already told my younger siblings that as soon as Yan'er comes back, I will arrange for you to have two round houses, so you will wait patiently for a few more days." ”

Qianning really wanted to say, I'm not in a hurry at all, the later the round house, the better...... It's just that I know that this is impossible, so I can only follow Liu's and say: "Listen to my mother's arrangement." ”

Liu nodded: "You are really a well-behaved child, God will definitely let our Changfang have a brother as soon as possible." ”

That's hard to say...... Qian Ning secretly scolded herself, thought for a moment and said, "Mother, there is something I want to inquire about with you. I heard that there is a distant relative in your mother's family who works in the yamen, but there is such a person? ”

Liu thought for a while: "There are many branches in the Liu family, and I am not very familiar with many of them, but I seem to have some impression of the person you are talking about, and this official position was decided by my grandfather when he wrote a post, but this person is not moral, and then he no longer interacted." I wonder why you're asking this? ”
