Chapter 111: Paving the Way
Frost Lian's face was meaningful: "Listen to me, my intuition is very powerful." ”
Xu Qirong and Xu Qijin were speechless for an instant, so they had to put aside this topic and concentrate on shopping with Shuanglian.
The little friend who hadn't spoken for a long time was suddenly able to speak, and Shuang Lian was very excited, chattering non-stop, where was there still a trace of the cold county lord's style. Fortunately, in the end, I still remember that Xu Wu said that he would have a sore throat after talking for a while, and he didn't keep pulling Xu Wu to speak.
In the end, it was the future sister-in-law who prepared for herself, and finally her voice got better, but if she didn't pay attention, her voice became thicker, and she was the one who lost it!
Thinking about it like this, Shuang Lian felt that she was really a good sister, especially for Chen Jinling.
After shopping for more than half an hour, the charity sale has already come to fruition.
The flowers and fruits that were sold the highest in silver were not Xu Qirong's purple qi coming from the east, but the return of the fifteenth princess's ten thousand Buddhas. It is not an unexpected thing that the flowers and fruits of the fifteenth princess are sold for the highest amount of silver, and what surprises everyone is the person who has returned from buying ten thousand Buddhas.
It's not a young man in Xijing City, it's not a rich businessman's son, it's not a speculator who wants to curry favor with the fifteenth princess, it's actually the abbot of the White Horse Temple!
Shuang Lian pouted: "The White Horse Temple can become the largest temple in Xijing City, thanks to the fact that they have a good abbot!" Who said that the four major members of the family are empty? Who said that the six roots of the monk family were pure? It's good for him, he went outside to join in the fun on a festival like Qixi Festival, not to mention quietly, but he could still think about saving money for sesame oil for the White Horse Temple. ”
Xu Qirong said curiously: "This is obviously spending money outside. How did you save money for sesame oil? That is, there is no one above the abbot to take care of it, otherwise he spent 880 taels of silver to buy a flower and fruit that can only be seen, and he may not be scolded how to be scolded! ”
Xu Qirong said. Zhou Wei's little lady listened to it and thought so.
"He's fine!" Shuang Lian smiled: "Now that I have bought the flowers and fruits of the fifteenth princess, the fifteenth princess has face and is happy, and when she waits for Ming'er, even if the fifteenth princess herself does not send sesame oil money to the White Horse Temple, even if the queen mother knows, she has to send sesame oil money to the White Horse Temple." The two of them made a move. To say the least, there are a thousand or two. and got face in front of almost the most noble woman in the palace, do you say that the White Horse Temple has made money? ”
As soon as Lord Frost Mercy's words came out, everyone suddenly realized. Looking at the abbot of the White Horse Temple with a smile like Maitreya Buddha's face, I felt in my heart how to look at it.
Xu Qirong's purple qi Donglai sold for eight hundred taels of silver, which is the second highest, and it can be regarded as very good. The third highest is Miss Chen San's step-by-step lotus. and sold it for six hundred sixty-six taels of silver. The winner was a businessman who sold rockeries. For the rest of the flowers and fruits, the more ones were only one or two hundred taels of silver, and the few ones were only one or twenty taels of silver.
Xu Qijin sighed quietly: "Compared with last year, these people are simply crazy this year. Then he remembered that it was Shuang Lian's brother who spent eight hundred taels of silver to buy his sister's purple qi from the east, and his tone was stunned, his face turned red, and he was a little ashamed.
Frost was not annoyed, and sighed twice. said: "Chen Jinling is quite good this time!" He also told me before that he could squeeze out three or four hundred taels of silver with his private money, but he didn't expect to be so generous. It doubled all at once. ”
Then he said to Xu Qirong, who was shocked: "Come on, I'm optimistic about you!" ”
Xu Qirong looked at Shuang Lian a little blankly, what did she want to work on?
Xu Qijin is also full of black lines, but if you think about it carefully, the threshold of Yuwang's Mansion is high, and ordinary little ladies can't get in, but if there is frost, if the little prince is interested in Sister Rong, it may not be a good thing for Sister Rong.
Thinking about it like this, Xu Qijin didn't stop the frost, but when he looked up and saw Xu Qirong's steamed bun head, Xu Qijin hesitated again, his sister was just eleven years old, the little prince is eighteen years old this year, and there is a seventeen-year-old Miss Qiu Er waiting for it, this age difference, can the little prince afford to wait?
Although the eldest sister is like a mother, her sister is not even in the prime of her life, and she is about to start worrying about her life's events, Xu Qijin feels that she is heartbroken.
Because the person who bought Ziqi Donglai made an anonymous bid, and after buying it, he asked the little guy to quietly take the silver ticket to take the flowers and fruits, so although everyone sighed at the buyer's generosity, in fact, they didn't even know who the buyer was. This made the frost merciful county lord sigh that the iron rooster was finally generous, and at the same time, he also hated iron for not being steel.
How good it is for the little prince of Yuwangfu to spend a lot of money for the fifth lady of the Xu family, and the bridges in Xu Gongzi's latest words book are not comparable!
It's a pity that Chen Jinling is a piece of wood, Shuang Lian glanced at Xu Qirong, whose eyebrows were much more stretched than when he was a child, and thought secretly in his heart.
Places like Xijing City are full of kings and grandsons, and people like the Xu family are really ordinary, and everyone gives face to the Xu family, but also for the sake of Xu Jinyan, who died early, and Princess Pingtai, who has a special identity. However, in terms of the use of money, Xu Qijin and Xu Qirong are really no worse than Miss Wangfu Xiangfu. Not to mention the hundreds of thousands of "pocket money" given by Master Xu Si not long ago, that is, the tens of thousands of taels of emergency money given by Mrs. Shen, which is not comparable to those little ladies who take a few taels of silver a month for a few months.
Therefore, although Xu Qijin and Xu Qirong felt that eight hundred taels of silver was quite a lot, they did not think that it was outrageous. Knowing that it was the little prince of Yuwang Mansion who bought Ziqi Dong, with the relationship of frost pity, they really didn't feel that there was anything wrong.
You must know that in addition to the rewards of the elders and the filial piety of the stewards below, Shuang Pi's annual pocket money is only 800 taels of silver!
Shuang Lian originally wanted to talk about how righteous his brother was in front of Xu Wu to spend eight hundred taels of silver to buy a flower and fruit, and to add some goodwill for Chen Jinling in front of Xu Wu, but when she saw Xu Qijin and Xu Qirong's natural expressions, she was both happy and sad.
Words are out of the way.
Shuang Pian tugged at the small pearl grains inlaid in her cuffs, thought about it, and came to a conclusion: This must be because Chen Jinling usually does too little good things, so God refuses to help Chen Jinling.
Not to mention Chen Jinling and Huaguo, Shuanglian is still very willing to go shopping with Xu Er and Xu Wu. Jiaren refused to come out to play with her during this time, and because General Yang Xiao was very sticky to Jiaren after returning from the battlefield, Shuanglian was not good at running to the general's mansion, but Shuanglian was bored.
It wasn't until the curfew at three o'clock that Xu Qijin and Xu Qirong were reluctantly sent back.
When the carriage was about to reach the gate of Xufu, it stopped, and a carriage in front of it happened to be blocked. Xu Qirong lifted the curtain of the car and took a look, but it was Xu Si's carriage.
Xu Qirong couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw Xu You helping Master Xu Si get down from the carriage, his long body standing respectfully and respectfully, and his anger was completely hidden. Remembering that Master Xu Si was going to succeed Xu You before, he frowned.
Xu Qijin abided by the rules and did not do such an indecent thing as lifting the curtain, seeing that Xu Qirong was displeased, he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Xu Qirong came back to his senses and was about to speak, but Fourth Master Xu had already gone this way.
Master Xu Si's voice was a little surprised: "Is it Sister Jin and Zhuo?" ”
Xu Qijin hurriedly said: "It's the daughters, daddy." ”
"Why did you come back so late!" Then probably seeing the guards of Yuwang's Mansion, Master Xu Si paused, "Come down first, and accompany Daddy to walk in." ”
Qiu Nong and Yu Qiu hurriedly helped Xu Qirong and Xu Qijin get out of the car, and Yu Xia and Yun'er followed behind, hugging a bunch of small things they bought on the street.
Seeing the things in Yu Xia and Yun'er's hands, Master Xu Si suddenly sighed: "It's Tanabata!" ”
A guard from Yuwang Mansion said: "Fourth Master Xu, Second Miss, Fifth Miss, if there is nothing wrong, the subordinates will go back to their lives first!" ”
"It's hard work two brothers!" Master Xu Si smiled at the guard, and when the guard was about to leave, suddenly a spirit, as if he just remembered, chased after him and stuffed a piece of broken silver, "The two brothers have worked hard, the weather is hot, please drink a bowl of iced sour plum soup." ”
Master Xu's tone was sincere, the two guards thought about it, did not refuse, and thanked Master Xu Si before leaving.
Xu Qijin didn't react, Xu Qirong was very suspicious. It's not that Master Xu Si used to be reluctant to send away the money from his subordinates, but when Master Xu Si was in a happy mood, he casually stuffed ten or twenty taels into the hands of the people around him, but there was never a time like now.
Judging from the spirit of Master Xu Si just now, Master Xu Si's behavior of stuffing the two guards of Yuwang Mansion with broken silver later seemed to be currying up to them.
Xu Qirong knew that the character of Master Xu Si was in his previous life, and he was defeated in the future, and he never softened his body and stammered anyone. Now in such a manner, Xu Qirong thought about it carefully and understood what was going on.
Master Xu Si wanted his two daughters to leave a good impression on the people of Yuwang Mansion, even if the other party was just an escort who was ordered to escort him.
Figuring out the deep meaning of what Master Xu Si did, Xu Qirong felt even more frightened.
Since her rebirth, Xu Qirong has once again felt the love of Master Xu Si for her and her sister, especially for her, to the point of doting. But no matter how doting he is, Master Xu Si is a big man in the end, and he is not as thoughtful as the women in the back house, so naturally he will not think of helping the two sisters pave the way.
What is the reason for this paving behavior? Xu Qirong had to ponder in his heart.
Just thinking about it, I heard Xu You laugh and say, "The second sister and the fifth sister just came back from playing?" It's lively outside, but what interesting things do you see? also said that it was fresh for the fourth brother and fourth uncle. ”
The fourth uncle shouted as intimate as shouting daddy.
Xu Qijin didn't react, and was about to deal with the past, when he heard Xu Qirong raise his voice: "Naturally, there are interesting things, but probably I don't have to talk about it with my sister, anyway, it's the drama of our Xu family, the fourth brother goes back and asks the third sister, and everything is clear." The third sister said that it must be fresher than me and my sister. ”
Master Xu's face sank. (To be continued......)
