Chapter 114: The Rite of Harmony II
Chen Jia's uncle opened a high-end furniture custom store with Chen Jia's funding, and the new house simply became his exhibition hall. The mansion in Shangshu Mansion is much larger than the house where Chen Jia lives now, in fact, the rooms are almost the same, but the official family is exquisite, and there are several small courtyards in addition to the main house. The Chen family had seen Chen Jia's small courtyard in Taishi's Mansion, and specially left a courtyard with a pond pavilion and attic for Chen Jia.
The decoration of Shangshu Mansion is very simple, but with the furniture that incorporates modern elements, it is eye-catching.
When Chen Jia arrived, the whole house was already full of people, Steward Chen was busy greeting guests, and Cheng Hu and Cheng Dazhuang were also receiving guests at all levels in the living room. Because the Cheng family has two sons who are officials, there are naturally many officialdom colleagues, but the Cheng family's business is also big, and there are many cooperative businessmen, and the scene is really spectacular.
Chen Jia was very depressed when she saw so many people, but it was just a move, is it really good to come with so many people? Looking back, will you say that the eldest brother took advantage of the move to receive gifts? Go back and tell your mother, don't make such a big show if it's not a big deal. Chen Jia wanted to go to the Chen family, but found that the Chen family was very busy, Mrs. Jiang knew that the Cheng family was busy, and came to help early in the morning.
"Mrs. Cheng, your house is really good, almost every room is unique, but the furniture in each room is a complete set of different furniture. At first glance, these styles look weirdly ruthless, but they are really set up and look very harmonious. It's so ingenious. "It was Cheng-Zhen's mother-in-law who spoke. That is, the wife of Tobe Shangshu, her surname is Zhao. She was laughing with Mrs. Jiang, but she couldn't help but get up and ask Chen. Because the furniture is so rare for her.
"It was my brother and my daughter who got a high-end furniture custom shop, and everything here can be customized. They are using this house as an exhibition hall for publicity! Chen smiled.
"How so? Where is that store open? Mrs. Zhao was pleasantly surprised, it would be good to be able to customize, she was very cute about the pure white and silver furniture in this room, low-key and luxurious.
"It's right in our old house, Peace Street. The house will be given to them to open a shop. Chen is a businessman, but she doesn't have any shame about making more money, she talks eloquently. It made all the ladies itch.
Chen Jia walked into the house, Chen and Mrs. Jiang hurriedly greeted her, Chen Jia was in a good mood, and she hadn't reacted yet. But I saw that many white-clad merchant ladies saluted her. Call him the benevolent county lord.
Mrs. Jiang pulled Chen Jia and explained to everyone that today was Chen Jia's ceremony. Some ladies directly gave Chen Jia the bracelets and valuable hairpins in their hands, Chen Jia refused to accept them, but Mrs. Jiang signaled to accept them, saying that everyone was blessing her. Chen Jia had to take these.
There are several steps in the ceremony, but Chen Jia's hair has also been combed. After everyone arrived at the main hall, Jiang Jingrong, who was the godfather, actually hosted Chen Jia in person. After the salute, Aunt Quanfu, whom Chen invited, combed Chen Jia symbolically twice.
Chen Jia was relieved but saw Jiang Youchun get up from the seat, he came to hand Chen Jia a small gift box, Chen Jia opened it and saw that it was a beautiful hairpin, this hairpin is exquisite, pure gold material, there are two butterflies carved on it, the butterfly seems to be alive, and it will vibrate its wings if it moves slightly, as if it wants to fly out. The butterfly's eyes are set with rubies. Everyone sighed when they saw it, and they all said that it was ingenious. Chen Jia liked it very much, she closed the lid and let the peony receive it. Say thank you.
Yang Mingyuan didn't come over in person, so he asked a henchman to send a jade Ruyi. Chen Jia smiled.
Jiang Wenhan was valued by Chu Xiuyu and often accompanied him, but he still came today, and the ministers were also surprised, unexpectedly that the two adults of the Jiang family had an unusual relationship with the Cheng family. He actually gave Chen Jia a hairpin, Chen Jia frowned lightly when he saw this, shouldn't he send a hairpin. Jiang Wenhan sent a pure glass jade hairpin, the top of the entire hairpin is wrapped in gold hollow, and the gold is embedded with red plum carved by blood jade. It seems that this hairpin is also specially customized by Jiang Wenhan.
Sun Aoting sent a hairpin after all, otherwise Chen Jia would vomit blood, what he sent was a big box, Chen Jia opened it happily, "Finally, it's not a hairpin, otherwise with the hairpins sent by those ladies, she will consider opening a jewelry store." ”
Outcome...... It turned out to be ...... It turned out to be a whole box of hair accessories, more than ten hairpins alone, as well as a variety of hairpins, each of which is ingenious, and the materials are also different, including gold and jade, jade, animal bones, and even gold silk nanmu carvings. They are set with red and green gems, emeralds, and pearls. Amazing, Chen Jia almost rolled her eyes and fainted on the spot. Seeing this, Begonia hurriedly took it.
"That, thank you, Brother Sun!" Chen Jia resisted the urge to vomit blood and thanked him.
"You're welcome!" Sun Aoting looked at Chen Jia, and his doting eyes were not disguised at all. Jiang Youchun saw that his hands were clutching the edge of the chair tightly, and the poor chair was deformed by him.
Jiang Wenhan's face was gloomy when he saw it. He only thought that Jiang Youchun had been fighting abroad all the year round and had not yet married a wife, and he learned that he had found someone to order a hairpin, and he also found someone to order one, and used the most expensive materials, just hoping to press his gift and make him shameless. Who knows, Sun Aoting is like a rich man, he directly sent so many hair accessories, and each of them is a high-quality product, and the total price is by no means lower than his hairpin. It's even several times higher. He clearly saw an imperial green jade in the middle. Emerald gemstones. He is so old and does not marry a wife, he gave Chen Jia such a generous gift, and pretended to be affectionate, which is clearly to show the world that Chen Jia is his favorite wife.
Chen Jia saw Sun Aoting looking at her like this, she was slightly apprehensive in her heart, "This guy sent so many hair accessories, and looked at me like this, wouldn't he really take a fancy to me?" ”
"The Divine Decree has arrived!" Dexi's father-in-law also came to join in the fun. The crowd hurriedly knelt down to receive the order.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said. For five years, the lord of Renai County has been financing the war effort, relieving the country's worries, and maintaining trade with the allies. The prosperity of the economic and trade relations of the three countries played a great role in the victory of the war between Shenghe and Jin'an, and I am very gratified. Today, I learned that the county lord and the county, the special thorn benevolence county lord of the best South China Sea pearls, a pair of jade Ruyi, and another county lord's mansion, Qin this! ”
"Courtier, thank you, Lord Longen!" Chen Jia hurriedly received the order with both hands.
"Wait. Father-in-law Dexi, where is the county lord's mansion? "Chen Jia is really ignorant and fearless. If you don't know, you must ask.
"The benevolent county lord is a little restless, the county lord's mansion has not yet been built. However, the location has been chosen, and it is on the Biliu Lake in the south of the capital. De liked to explain in a tempered manner, there was no way to relieve him without Jiang Qian now.
"Can I design how to build it myself?" Chen Jia asked.
"Naturally, the silver taels needed for construction can be withdrawn from the household." Father-in-law Dexi breathed a sigh of relief. I'm afraid she will say something shocking. Hurriedly said: "The slave still needs to go back to his life." Say goodbye first! ”
"Oh, thank you, and thank you to the emperor!" Chen Jia was happy, I can immediately build a mansion of my own, I want to design it into a European-style castle, anyway, someone pays for it, and it will not be spent in vain. Hehe, just think you bought the treasury bonds. I've got to make some interest.
Chen hurriedly sent Dexi's father-in-law out in person, and Steward Chen immediately sent a heavy purse. Dexi was upside down. Unceremoniously smiled.
"Congratulations to the county lord of Renai!" Everyone said hello. Thinking that the benevolent county lord was really honored, and Ji Lu actually asked the emperor to send such a valuable gift.
"Does the county lord of benevolence have a marriage?" Mrs. Li saw that everyone was surrounding Chen Jia and said goodbye, and she suddenly asked Chen. She has a good calculation in her heart, her youngest son is exactly sixteen, and if she can marry the county lord, she will not have to worry about eating and drinking in the future. This county lord is so rich and has status. It made her blush.
She also doesn't want to think about her unsuccessful little son, who has been playing with the maids in the house since he was fourteen years old, but there are some looks in the courtyard, none of them have escaped his palm, and now he often goes in and out of brothels in Beijing.
Sure enough, as soon as she finished asking, everyone pouted and looked at her. Jiang Youchun's eyes seemed to be able to kill her, but this was in the Cheng family, and he couldn't make a mistake, otherwise he would have dismantled her a long time ago. Jiang Wenhan also squinted when he saw it. Sun Aoting continued to drink tea, but his hands trembled slightly with anger, and he had already betrayed his heart. Cheng Hu and Cheng Dazhuang were both angry when they heard this.
But Mrs. Li didn't feel anything, and still said to Chen in her own way, her voice was still loud and loud: "Mrs. Cheng, if the county lord has not decided to marry, he has a son-in-law who is sixteen years old, but he is very compatible with the county lord. ”
Chen has never encountered such a situation, he is ashamed and anxious, this person talks about the marriage of his children in front of the public, it doesn't matter if her family is a son, but her own family is a daughter, wouldn't it ruin her reputation if it spreads.
Seeing this, Mrs. Jiang hurriedly walked over. "Mrs. Li, it is said that Ling Lang has married a three-room concubine, and there are countless maids in the room, and the county lord of Renai can't afford such a husband. You'd better find someone else. ”
Mrs. Li's face was ugly, she came here privately today, and she didn't receive an invitation, so she still came in with a shy face to congratulate her. Seeing that Mrs. Jiang was talking about this, she didn't have a seizure, but she still didn't give up, and when Mrs. Jiang didn't exist, she forced Chen. Chen was still taking care of his face just now, and when he heard Mrs. Jiang say that his son was such a bastard, where did he need to be polite. She didn't reply to her. With a cold face, he directly asked Steward Chen to send off the guests.
"Mrs. Cheng, don't be angry, the son of the Li family who is not stingy has been spread all over the circle, and his father is the same thing, not to mention a concubine, even a concubine, no one is willing to marry into his family." It was Mrs. Zhao who came from the household department, after all, she was close to the Cheng family, but she hurriedly stood up to help.
Seeing this, Mrs. Li knew that there was no hope, so she only glared at Chen and Chen Jia fiercely, and turned to leave.
"Wait." Steward Chen trotted over, "Please Mrs. Li take back your congratulatory gift!" After speaking, he put a gift box into her hand and made a petition.
Chen Jia secretly exclaimed, sure enough, it was a divine mending knife.
Mrs. Li took the gift and turned to leave. Everyone shook their heads. Du Dao: "The two of them are really good all the way." One followed Wu Taibao every day to shoot horses, and the other hall was full of toads who wanted to eat swan meat. (To be continued......)
PS: Chen Jia smiled, very gentle and subtle: "Thank you for your subscription, reward, recommendation, and pink!" Weakly asked, is there anything else?? ”
