Chapter 21 The Gift List Leaks Out
When he arrived in Nanyang County, Shen Zhuru realized that the prosperity in Mu Jinyang's mouth was not just talking.
It was not yet dark on this day, and lanterns were already hung on every household along the way, illuminating the road, and looking at the shouting energy of the surrounding vendors and the flow of people, I am afraid that it is more than the excitement in the daytime.
That night, Shen Zhuru and Mu Fenghua lived in the Mu family's other courtyard in Nanyang County.
Although the place where I live is not as vast as the Mu family, at least in terms of interior decoration, I have put a lot of effort into it, and the courtyard is quite exquisite.
The people in the courtyard have already been instructed, and the master bedroom is ready, and the preparations are ready, as for the people who serve, there are naturally rain and seven treasures, and others can't touch it, but the reward is given, and then the people in the other courtyard are all smiling, in a good mood, and they are full of enthusiasm to do things.
After a day in the car, I was also a little tired.
Although there is no hot spring in the annex courtyard, there is a bathing pool, and in the corner of the pool, a square size pool like a large iron pot is built, which is connected to the fire room outside the bath and is used to heat boiling water.
This water is connected to the whole bath, and the water temperature of the whole pool needs to be heated, and only one valve is needed to open the hot water in it to integrate into the whole pool, and it does not need to be closed, and it will not affect the temperature of the bath.
It is an ingenious facility that allows you to enjoy the hot springs even if you don't have a hot spring eye.
Shen Zhuru stayed comfortably for half an hour before leaving, but Mu Fenghua almost ran to sleep, but fortunately, Qibao looked at it, it was really not worry-free.
After resting in the courtyard for a night, Mu Jinyang came over early in the morning to invite the two of them to inspect the shop together, and by the way, check the gifts for the Qin family tomorrow to see if there was any need to increase or decrease.
Regarding Mu Jinyang's remarks, Shen Zhuru had the intention to refuse, but seeing his businesslike attitude, it was not easy to refuse, so he also agreed with Mu Jinyang's arrangement.
After leaving the courtyard, I took a carriage to the Mujia Silver Building.
The shopkeeper and his companions who had already been passed on had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw Mu Jinyang's carriage, they knew that it was their young master and young lady who had arrived.
"Welcome young master and young lady!"
The shopkeeper is a person from the Mu family branch, named Mu Jiu, who is in his early fifties, sleek and flexible, and is a delicate person, so he was entrusted with the important task of sitting in the silver building in Nanyang County.
"Uncle Nine, quickly bring the gifts that are going to be sent to the Qin family to the main hall of the backyard, and let the younger siblings look at them to see if there is anything missing."
"Yes. The young master and young lady are also invited to enter the main hall of the backyard to rest for a while! ”
"Okay."
After sitting in the backyard for a while, Mu Jiu came over and brought a gift list to be sent to the Qin family for Mu Fenghua and Shen Zhuru to see.
Mu Fenghua just looked at the list in his hand for fun, peeked at Shen Zhuru vigorously, and smirked accidentally.
A set of blue and white lotus vases are ready, large and small, in pairs, rare.
A pair of pigeon-egg-sized night pearls, with a clever carver on the surface carved a pair of mandarin ducks and hoofed lotus, good thoughts.
In addition, some calligraphy, brushes, ink, paper, inkstones, etc., are also elegant, and they complement Qin Yuxiao, the future champion.
Another statue of white jade Guanyin, but it is given to the old lady of Qinfu, although it is not too suitable for the gift day, but mixed in the gift list, it can be used to allow the newcomer to borrow flowers to offer Buddha, to the old lady of Qinfu, talk about filial piety, but also extraordinary.
It's just that this last thing turned out to be a pair of swords, and it is not a good gift to give such a sharp weapon on such a happy day, even if this sword is useless, at least it is not good.
"Uncle Nine."
"Do you have any questions, young lady?"
"It is understandable that other things were given to the Qin Mansion as a congratulatory gift for the newcomer, but this gift of the sword will not be considered. After all, it was the day of the wedding, and the sword was a sharp weapon, and the intention of the Lord to kill was not good at all. Qin Lao Taijun is a person who believes in Buddhism, and if such items are sent over, I am afraid that the Mu family will offend Lao Taijun, since Uncle Jiu has arranged it well, why has this become a failure in the end? ”
Mu Jiu was also a little stunned when he heard this, and after he hurriedly took the list and read it, he did see a gift with a pair of swords.
"Young lady, it was my mistake, it should be that the people below misheard. This sword is not a congratulatory gift, but the three young men of the Qin family sent it to the building, so that the master in the building inlaid the gems on the sword, just in time for the time, it will be mistaken, thinking that the gifts sent to the Qin Mansion are congratulatory gifts, it is my dereliction of duty, and I am willing to be punished. ”
Mu Jiu bowed his head and admitted his mistake, already prepared for the worst.
"Brother and sister, it's a good thing to let you come over, otherwise there will really be a mistake, and it will be a big blow to my Mu family's business. It's just that Uncle Nine has paid a lot to the Mu family Yinlou, even if he doesn't look at the credit, but also to see if he can be punished lightly for his years of hard work? Mu Jinyang opened his mouth to ask for favors, but Shen Zhuru looked at him and tilted his head slightly.
"I never said that I would punish Uncle Nine for this. Anyone will inevitably make a mistake when doing something, and even I dare not say that I will not do something wrong. Of course, it is a matter of course that if you do something wrong, you will be punished, otherwise no one will want to change it if you make a mistake. ”
"It turned out that I was overthinking. That according to the meaning of the younger siblings......"
"Cousin, after all, I am just a woman's family, and there are still parents-in-law and mother-in-law above, so it is not my turn to call the shots, and I will meddle in the business of the Mu family at will. Uncle Nine is also the shopkeeper of the Mu family's silver building, aren't you in charge of these things? How to punish is naturally up to my cousin, so I won't mix it up. ”
Shen Zhuru stopped so simply and threw off the punishment power in his hand, but it was unexpected by Mu Jinyang.
No matter how surprised Mu Jinyang was in his heart, his face was still impassive, and he smiled: "Brother and sister, now that my cousin is by my side, the Mu family is always his, and you are his wife, this right is still there, not to mention, this mistake is still found by you, and it is naturally more appropriate for you to decide." ”
"Fenghua, my cousin said that I must punish Uncle Nine for his mistakes, what do you say?" Shen Zhuru turned her head to look at Mu Fenghua and asked with a sad face.
"Cousin, the lady said that if you are in charge, you will be in charge, and you are not allowed to say more." Mu Fenghua saw that Shen Zhuru was unhappy, and immediately turned on a tiger face that was not happy, and shouted angrily at Mu Jinyang.
"Then I'll do it for me." Mu Jinyang responded.
"That's a lot of nonsense."
Mu Fenghua snorted coldly, his words were choking.
"Ahem, Uncle Jiu, this matter is your fault after all, I will punish you for two months of silver, and you will receive ten rods of punishment, you can accept it."
"Thank you, young master, young lady, for your kindness." Mu Jiu breathed a sigh of relief and bent down to accept the punishment.
"The cane blame is postponed in advance, and the matter is all done, and after these few days, I will go to receive the punishment again, so as not to delay the business, you know?"
"Understood."
