Chapter Eighty-Five: Knocking

Chu Weilin sat down on the side, looked at the embroidery shed, and quipped, "What is the third sister embroidering?" But the hijab? ”

Chu Weiwan's face turned red, and he slapped her lightly: "Hun said! ”

Several maids in the room also laughed.

In this way, he put aside the embarrassment and shyness, and talked about the marriage seriously.

Entering the palace that day, Chu Weiwan was very worried, and then the noblewoman, in front of the nobles in the palace, that is, the girl who was born in the official eunuch, and the concubine Niangniang of Kang Pingye back then was in the same vein, and it was also the old yellow calendar.

The queen was born in the old capital of the Wang family, when she was a child, she had heard her mother tell the story of the old capital boudoir, Xian Guifei was shocking and unattainable, and the friendly and generous Huiyu county lord was the standard for many families to teach girls.

Chu Weiwan knew that these were polite words, and wondered why the queen would raise the Wen family like this, but he didn't dare to show the slightest doubt on his face.

Her incomprehension became clear after meeting the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother was not so polite to Chu Weiwan.

Ronghe County is deeply loved by the Queen Mother since she was a child, Chu Weiwan stepped on the head of Ronghe County Lord, at the Spring Festival Banquet, everyone saw Ronghe's gaffe, and the Queen Mother who favored her also lost face.

King Chong is not the queen mother's own son, but the eldest princess grew up in the palm of the queen mother's hand, the eldest princess is close to Princess Chong, and she helped to be a lobbyist a few times, and the queen mother is willing to meet Chu Weiwan.

Xu is prejudice in his heart, Rao is Chu Weiwan always feels that there is something missing, no matter how decent Chu Weiwan is, Princess Ruochong is her daughter-in-law. The Queen Mother must not agree to this marriage, but because King Chong is not his own child, the Queen Mother is not too strong in some things.

This matter was pushed to the emperor.

Maybe it was because the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were feuding, and the queen mother rejected it in her heart, so the queen secretly said some good things, and it happened that the emperor was going to use soldiers again, so in order to appease the Chongwang Mansion, she simply gave Princess Chong this face.

"The Holy Lord's marriage, I look at the scenery now, actually. The Queen Mother ......," Chu Weiwan finished. He pursed his lips and shook his head.

Chu Weilin didn't expect such a situation in the palace, thought about it, and persuaded: "Third sister, no matter what the queen mother thinks. After all, it helped you. In the future, you will live in the Chongwang Mansion. There is no need to go to the Queen Mother every day. As long as Princess Chong and Shizi like their sister, that's fine. ”

Chu Weiwan nodded slowly: "Mother said the same thing." ”

"Are all the things in Xiaoding ready?"

The prince of Chongwang will soon leave Beijing again. There is not enough time, and this is another year, so it is better to set it earlier.

"Mother has made all the arrangements," Chu Weiwan carefully explained the arrangements everywhere, and said, "The princess meant that she would come to the door tomorrow spring, and said that she would choose a few days to submit it, and let the palace calculate it." After the decision was made, my mother would also write a letter to the old capital and invite my aunt to come and watch the ceremony. ”

Chu Weiwan asked her aunt to raise her for several years, and her feelings were very deep.

In his previous life, because he got married in a hurry, and he had such a bad reputation, the Huang family didn't have the face to invite his sister to Beijing.

"When I'm settled here, it's going to be your turn," Chu Weiwan sighed, quite emotional, "In the blink of an eye, I have to say kiss, and in the blink of an eye, I will get married." ”

When it came to her family affairs, Chu Weilin didn't know where to start, took a sip of tea, and suddenly thought of Chu Weiying: "Fourth sister, does the eldest aunt have a favorite?" ”

Chu Weiwan shook his head.

Chu Weiying is a concubine, with Huang's temperament, as long as the concubine's marriage is not a single typo, she will never spend full energy to handle it.

But now it's different, Chu Weiwan is married to the Prince's Mansion, if the concubine sister is too bad, firstly, it will hurt the face of Chongwangfu, and secondly, the Huang family will also be said a few words, so the Huang family is holding back a lot of energy now, and when Chu Weiwan's Xiaoding is busy, he will carefully pick it for Chu Weiying.

Chu Weiwan thought that the future was hopeless, but now it seems that she did not go to the old lady and the Huang family to hang out, but chose to get close to Chu Weiwan, it is really a correct choice, Chu Weiwan has a good temper, he will not embarrass her, but will pull her.

"I'll be serious with you, if the third uncle and grandmother have any good intentions, you should respond, we are not much different in age, and you and Wei Chen and Wei Hu are in the same year......" Chu Weiwan stopped when he said this, and did not continue to explain thoroughly.

Chu Weilin understood that Chu Weihu's situation was a few months later than her, and it would not have any impact on her, but Chu Weichen's place, the Li family looked at Chu Weiwan and Chu Weiying one by one, how could they be willing to choose a husband for Chu Weichen casually, and when the time came, they couldn't look down on this and dislike that, and tossed for a year or two, dragging down the younger sisters behind.

However, Chang Fu was full of breath, Chu Weilin was not worried about this, I was afraid that Chu Weichen would be annoyed that she was in front of her.

Seeing that the time was late, Chu Weilin said goodbye and left Meiyuan.

I returned to Qinghui Garden, and after dinner, I rested early.

The next day, when she got up refreshed, Chu Weilin called Man Niang to her and instructed, "Go back and tell your father, let the third brother wait for me in the old place tonight." ”

Man Niang blinked, and reacted to what Chu Weilin was looking for Chu Weijing, nodded busily, went home, and when she came back, she said that everything was done.

Bao Jin grabbed a handful of copper coins from the ebony box and gave it to Man Niang, and said softly: "You are a smart person, take care of your mouth." ”

Man Niang smiled and thanked the reward.

Chu Weilin leaned on the couch, staring at the ebony box for a while, and made up her mind: "Bao Hibiscus, go and call Bao Lian." ”

Hearing this, Baolian hurriedly came over and said with a smile: "The girl is looking for me? ”

Chu Weilin motioned for Baolian to sit down on the embroidery pier and said, "I went to see the third sister yesterday, she is going to be small, what gifts should I give?" ”

Chu Weilin often discussed these matters with Baolian, and Baolian nodded when she heard it: "It should be sent, the slave maid took the booklet from the small treasury to the girl, and the girl chose one?" ”

Chu Weilin held the booklet and looked around, but was not satisfied.

Pauline pointed to one of them and said, "Not only you, girl, but also several other girls will also prepare gifts, the slave maid thought, they must give most of the jewelry, it is better for the girl to choose this lying sheep pen holder, made of cloisonnΓ© enamel, beautiful and practical." ”

"Did you forget it?" Chu Weilin shook her head and said, "This pen holder was given to me by my eldest uncle on my tenth birthday, so how can I transfer it to my third sister." Why don't you look at how much money I have left, and go to the shop to choose a beautiful set of heads? ”

Baolian was stunned, calculated the price in her heart, and said: "Girl, there are good and bad things in the shop outside, some of the good ones are very delicate and beautiful, but they are also very expensive." The bad ones can't be sent, and the good ones really cost money. ”

"It's good and cheap, how can there be such a beautiful thing, if the money is not enough, or the jewelry that you don't need will be melted and you will make some good ones." Chu Weilin urged.

Seeing this, Baolian hurriedly went to pick up a few more booklets and pointed them out to Chu Weilin: "Girl, there are still more than 400 taels of cash on hand, and the private money left by the wife to the girl is stored separately, not here." For the rest, there are still a lot of gold and silver nudes, and instead of melting jewelry, it is better to melt some nudes. The slave maid thought that the girl might not necessarily have to decide how much money to spend now, but that she would go to see the things before calculating the money. ”

After hearing this, Chu Weilin nodded and said, "It makes sense, let's look at things first." ”

Baolian put away all the booklets, and after coming out of the main house, she went to look for Yanjun, and commanded in a low voice: "You go and tell Zhou's mother, the silver in my hand has a side use, and I can't vote for her." ”

Yan Jun was a little surprised when he heard this, a few days ago, he clearly said that there was a small one hundred taels that could be taken out, why can't he do it today? However, she had always listened to Pauline, so she hurried away without asking why.

At night, Baolian asked Yanjun again.

Yanjun frowned and said aggrievedly: "Sister, I went to find Zhou's mother, but before I could speak, Zhou's mother stuffed a silver ticket to me, saying that she would not dare to ask us to invest in silver in the future, which would make the previous capital and dividends clear." ”

Baolian was surprised and said, "What's the matter?" Did you ask Zhou's mother? ”

"Why didn't you ask!" Yan Jun pouted and said, "Mother Zhou was ridiculed, and she only said that she refused to have anything to do with our Qinghui Garden." ”

Zhou's mother didn't know what to say, and Yanjun was not a person who could ask, so Baolian didn't ask more, thinking about asking in person another day.

Tonight she was on duty, Baolian hurriedly returned to the main room, looked up and saw Chu Weilin sitting under the lamp reading a book, her eyebrows were delicate and warm under the light, and she suddenly beat a drum in her heart for some reason.

Lightly on the side of the pestle on the table, Baolian took the bamboo basket and came over to sew and mend the clothes, stitch after stitch, and her mind was full of Zhou's mother's affairs.

Suddenly, his heart understood, his hand trembled, and a needle pierced his fingertip, secreting a red bead.

Baolian didn't dare to cry out in pain, pinched her fingers and raised her eyes to look at Chu Weilin.

So it was......

It turned out that Chu Weilin knew about her throwing money into Zhou's mother from the beginning, and she knocked on the side last time, but now she is ruthless not to ask her to make these profits, so she went to Zhou's mother to block her way, and used the excuse of preparing jewelry for Chu Weiwan, and she wanted to calculate the silver money on the account to beat her.

She had already moved her mind to move Chu Weilin's private money, but she didn't do it yet, otherwise, this matter would be clearly placed under Chu Weilin's nose, even if the girl hurt her again, under such a wrong thing, she couldn't spare her lightly.

Thinking about it like this, Baolian was afraid, but fortunately, she didn't touch the silver.

When the Western bell rang, Chu Weilin looked up at the hour, put down the book, and said, "Ask Bao Jin to go to Yishun Hall with me." ”

Baolian was in an upset mood at this time, so when she heard the words, she went to call Bao Hibiscus and sent Chu Weilin out, and she just took advantage of this time to carefully sort out her feelings.

Bao Jin knew Chu Weilin's destination, and went around to Liuliyuan. (To be continued......)
