Chapter 153: Gift List
Speaking of the Marquis of Anding's Mansion, after the maid told the King of Anjun and the King of Yijun about the punishment.
The old lady's chest rose and fell, her breathing was short, the Buddhist beads in her hand were trembling, and her face was as blue as if she was about to faint.
Mother Sun hurriedly persuaded, "Old lady, don't be angry, the two county princes are not sensible, but fortunately, the third girl is blessed with a great ......life." β
The old lady slapped her hand on the table and said angrily, "Ignorant?!" King Anjun is nineteen years old! King Yijun is also seventeen! can be a father at such an age, and they are not sensible, so at what age do they have to be sensible, they only care about fun, but they almost killed others! β
Thinking that Qingyun was given death by the Queen Mother, if it weren't for the Zhennan Hou Mansion sending a secret guard to watch, the Hou Mansion would be doing funerals at this time.
Is such a mistake something that can be revealed with a sentence that is not sensible?!
The eldest lady sat aside and said, "King Anjun and King Yijun have gone too far, Yushitai has also impeached them, and the emperor has also punished them, which can be regarded as giving us an explanation for the Marquis of Anding and the Marquis of Zhennan." β
As she spoke, the eldest lady moved her eyes from the old lady to Mrs. Chu, and said with a smile, "What does Mrs. Chu think?" β
Mrs. Chu took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "This matter is in charge of the old marquis, and my opinion is not important." β
Saying that, she paused for a moment and continued, "The fact that the Imperial Historical Observatory impeached the two county princes so quickly made me curious, which of the adults of the Imperial Historical Observatory are so sloppy?" β
After the maid finished speaking, before she left, she replied, "It's Lord Zhao and Lord Sun." β
Hearing this, the old lady's brows moved.
Zhao Yushi and Sun Yushi?
Aren't those two adults Old Lady Jiang's protΓ©gΓ©s?
Since the old lady Jiang was demoted, his party has been co-opted by Zhennan Hou and Xingguo Gong, and her experience in the past two days is similar to that of her, no one is easy to offend, so he just hangs dry.
But I didn't expect that at a critical time, the two imperial historians impeached the two county princes so sloppily.
The old lady had some guesses in her heart, and the two imperial masters were still old lady Jiang's people at all.
Now that the Jiang family and the Zhennan Hou Mansion are married, the two imperial historians are taking the opportunity to get closer to the Zhennan Hou.
I'm afraid that Old Lady Jiang will be reinstated in a short time.
Thinking about it, the old lady's mood improved a lot.
Mother Sun is still holding a gift slip in her hand. She gave the maid a look and told her to hurry down, there was no need to continue the topic.
Mother Sun handed the gift list to the old lady, and the old lady looked at it.
There are sixty-four Nacai gifts brought by the Hou Mansion in Zhennan. The things sent are not light, but the old lady can't see other ways from the gift list, Chubei is the eldest young master of the Hou Mansion in Zhennan, and in the past ten years, there has been no young master to welcome relatives. I don't know how much the Zhennan Hou Mansion gave to other in-laws.
She looked at the gift list carefully, and Mrs. Chu smiled and said, "This gift list has passed through the hands of many people." β
The old lady looked at her, Mrs. Chu hooked her lips and smiled, "The gift list was drawn up by me and several younger siblings, and the old lady added more than a dozen things after passing through it, and after handing it over to the old marquis, she added more than a dozen things, and the old marquis attaches great importance to the marriage with the Jiang family." I also value the three girls. β
Mrs. Chu's words can reveal several meanings.
Chu Bei is the identity of a concubine, and the dowry she prepared was prepared according to the concubine's share, and the old lady added more than a dozen things after reading it, and it became the concubine's share.
After the old marquis saw it, he added more than a dozen things, that is, he crossed the sister-in-law.
This also reflects from the side that the weight of Qingyun in the hearts of several important masters of the Zhennan Hou Mansion is valued most by the old marquis, followed by the old lady Chu. All she can do is her duty.
The Marquis of Anding Mansion should be prepared for this, don't expect too much, her attitude is there.
The old lady listened, and her eyes swept the gift list a few more times. Sure enough, I saw who added something on the gift list.
Mrs. Chu took a sip of tea, and then said with a smile, "Is there anything dissatisfied with this gift list?" β
Qingyun raised her eyes, glanced at Mrs. Chu, and said in her heart. You said that, who would dare to say that they are not satisfied?
If you say you're not satisfied, didn't you offend the whole Zhennan Hou Mansion?
The old lady closed the gift list and said with a smile, "I look at this gift list, there is nothing dissatisfied, but the relationship between Qingyun and the young master Chu was asked by the old lady Jiang, he is Qingyun's maternal grandfather, and he is married to the Zhennan Hou Mansion, this gift list should let him look at it." β
Before the old lady finished speaking, a maid ran in outside, and she was out of breath, and the panting sound made the old lady's face blue.
What the hell is going on with these maids, they are also coming to tell you about big things, and they are still in such a hurry!
The maid didn't dare to come forward to tell her, so she secretly went around to tell her mother.
After hearing this, Mother Sun's face turned slightly pale.
The old lady glanced at it and asked, "What's going on again?"
Mother Sun glanced at Mrs. Chu before returning to the old lady and said, "A pair of geese sent by Na Caili died. β
"Dead?" Mrs. Chu stood up in shock.
Mother Sun didn't know what to say.
There are geese in the Nacai ceremony, which is the rule, just like burning incense to worship the Buddha.
There are rules for sending this goose.
Poor people, with wooden geese.
A small jasper, a goose made of silver.
A little more elaborate, made of gold.
If you pay attention to it, make it with jade.
The most particular thing is still the live geese.
Live geese are not easy to hunt, it flies high, to shoot down geese, you must calculate when the geese open their mouths, the arrow penetrates the throat of the geese, can not hurt the life, can not let it have a trace of damage.
Live geese are rare, so they attach even more importance to this family affair.
But a pair of live geese were sent in a good manner, and before the person who gave the gift left, one died.
That's not a good sign.
The geese are going to be released, how can they be released if they die?
The eldest lady sat there, she looked at Mrs. Chu, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a smile.
The wild geese were hunted by Young Master Chu, and they must have been sent intact.
Suddenly one died, someone must have done something to make this family affair unhappy.
She didn't expect this to come up, someone would do it, and it would be strange that Qingyun would have a good life in the future.
The eldest lady suspected that it was Mrs. Chu's hand.
Mrs. Chu suspected that it was the eldest lady's hands and feet, she came to the Hou Mansion, and before she entered the door, she embarrassed her, and it was difficult to ensure that it was not her hands and feet.
The old lady's heart was calm, she looked at Mrs. Chu and said, "What should I do with that pair of geese?" β
Mrs. Chu also had a headache, and she said in a muffled voice, "I didn't expect one wild goose to die, I will bring these geese back to the house first, and then ask someone to send a pair of wild geese carved with mutton fat jade." β
Hearing Mrs. Chu say this, Mrs. Chu's brows froze.
Could it be that she guessed wrong, it wasn't Mrs. Chu's hand?
Two live geese are precious in the heart, but they are far less valuable than the jade geese, especially the mutton fat jade.
Mrs. Chu sent a pair of geese and died one, it was she and the subordinate who sent Na Cai Lilai who did not do well, and they were to be scolded.
If you are scolded, you have to send it again, isn't this full and having nothing to do?
It was really strange that no one had done anything about it, and a pair of geese actually died.
Mrs. Chu stood up and didn't sit back anymore, she looked at the old lady and said, "The gift list is no problem, then I'll go back to the house first." β
The old lady nodded and asked the eldest lady to send Mrs. Chu out of the house.
The eldest lady asked the eldest lady Chu to take a step first.
Mrs. Chu had just walked to the screen, okay, she was almost hit by the maid.
The old lady slapped the table angrily, "Reckless, why are you in such a hurry to tell your eyebrows?!" β
The maid shrunk her neck, secretly screamed bad luck, and then hurriedly said, "Grandpa Sun has come to announce the decree again!" β
Isn't there a hurry?
Don't worry, the old lady is so worried in the morning that she is afraid of delaying her grandfather, and she can't find the third girl in time?
She was also afraid of delays, so she ran like this.
