Xu Qirong also specially found a red silk and tied it on the wine jar, which is an ordinary clay pot, so that the red silk is a little more festive. When Master Xu Si saw it, there was a smile in his eyebrows, obviously very satisfied.
The fourth master Xu Si, who was very satisfied, casually gave the bronze jue and the ou plastic tea tray to Xu Qirong: "You can take it to play, although it is not a good thing, but it is also difficult for my father to find it." ”
After a pause, Master Xu Si added: "As for the bronze lord, my father exchanged two ancient inkstones and seventeen exquisite pearls for it!" ”
Xu Qirong obediently let Qiu Nong hold the thing, his eyebrows and eyes crooked: "Thank you, Daddy, I will take care of it." ”
Master Xu Si was happy: "It's good if you like it." ”
Xu Qirong nodded, saying that it still depends on how the gold ingots of the sacrifice are folded, and he took Qiu Nong out of the study. But in her heart, she thought that as long as she didn't give things to Tang Zhizhou, she would like it.
But it was said that Tang Zhizhou's side, on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, Tang Zhizhou's wife began to take his subordinates to sort out the New Year's gifts sent by others, the warehouses that should be put into the warehouse, the ones that should be used by everyone, and the books that should be on the books. Tang Zhizhou saw it, so he asked: "Xu Tingyuan, what did you send this year?" ”
Mrs. Tang smiled so much that the tassel on the step on her head kept shaking, and said, "Last year, Master Xu gave a good pair of black jade chess pieces. Didn't the old man mention the Ou plastic tea tray to him, this year is probably to send this! After speaking, he took his subordinates to check it in a bunch of New Year's gifts.
Tang Zhizhou heard Mrs. Tang's words, and a smile immediately appeared on his face: "I thought that he would give a bronze knight or something last year." Unexpectedly, it was the Moyu chess pieces that were sent. However, fortunately, the black jade chess pieces are also the best of the best, not too bad. Even if it is not an Ousu tea tray this year, it will not be cheap to come. ”
Mrs. Tang said curiously: "Master, didn't you cut off contact with him?" Why does he still give us gifts? ”
Tang Zhizhou said proudly: "You don't know who he is, as long as I don't turn my face with him on the spot, or write a letter of renunciation." He's going to treat me like a friend. I broke off my friendship with him because he didn't know what to do, and he dared to offend big people like Lord Liang and Lord Duan. Now the two adults are friendly with his brother, if it is not for the fact that he has not caught his fault. I've been in trouble with him for a long time. I can't just let him get bogged down. ”
After a pause, he said, "The things that were sent to the door are all in line with my heart, how can I not want them?" ”
Mrs. Tang looked at Tang Zhizhou with a look of admiration: "It's still transparent!" Then he laughed. No wonder the master instructed me to send some irrelevant things to the Xu Mansion in Zhuangyuan Lane during the New Year's holidays. This is to remind Master Xu that he still has a friend like you! ”
Tang Zhizhou nodded, waited for a while, and was a little impatient: "Why hasn't it been turned out yet?" "The things sent by Xu Tingyuan have always been valuable, just look for them in the precious pile, where did it take so long?
The maid looking for something was embarrassed, and finally everyone pushed one of the youngest to come out and speak. The youngest timidly pushed out the two jars of wine tied with red silk: "This is the New Year's gift from the Xu family." ”
Mrs. Tang's face was a little ugly, and she never thought that it would be this thing. looked at Tang Zhizhou with a worried face.
Tang Zhizhou was also surprised, and then said with a smile: "Xu Tingyuan has always liked to surprise people. This looks like a wine jar, but I don't know how precious the contents are. ”
Then his face froze, he saw that the little maid moved the wine jar in a different direction, facing his side, pasted a piece of red paper, on the red paper is the three words "Snow Spring" written in ink, at first glance it is Xu Tingyuan's handwriting, and then tear open the red cloth on the altar, but the bottom is a complete mud seal.
Tang Zhizhou didn't believe it, and stretched out his hand to clear the mud seal, and then the room was filled with a strong aroma of wine.
This is really two jars of wine, even if it is two jars of good wine, it is only two jars of wine, where can it be valuable?
Tang Zhizhou's face was gloomy. Mrs. Tang hurriedly scolded the little maid: "It must be that you didn't look carefully, how could the New Year's gift sent by the Xu family be just two jars of wine?" Look for it again! ”
The little maid was crying with a sad face, they had turned back and forth many times, there were really only these two jars of wine, what could they do?
Tang Zhizhou sneered: "Okay, you Xu Tingyuan!" ”
Mrs. Tang hesitated for a moment and said, "Why don't you write and ask?" Maybe the Xu family made a mistake! ”
"Ask?" Tang Zhizhou's face was angry, but it was rare that he could still keep calm: "What if after asking, what if you find that people really only sent two jars of wine?" Isn't it self-reproach? Even if it was really the Xu family's subordinates who made a mistake, could it be that they could still be asked to change it back? I don't have to insult my own reputation! ”
Mrs. Tang frowned, since she can't ask, is it difficult to achieve this? I couldn't help but mutter: "The New Year's gift we gave to Xu Mansion this year is a piece of exquisitely crafted jade pendant, although it is not a good jade, but it is worth more than two jars of wine!" ”
Tang Zhizhou's face was ugly, and finally said, "I'll go to the study to write a letter." ”
Mrs. Tang was surprised: "Didn't you say you couldn't ask?" ”
Tang Zhizhou suppressed his anger and sneered: "I wrote to thank him for his thoughts!" In this way, if it is really sent by mistake, Xu Tingyuan will naturally ask people to make up another one to apologize, if it is not wrong, this letter of gratitude can also give him a reputation for not paying much money!
Xu Qirong is still busy preparing the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at the moment, although there are only two people in this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, she and her father can't be ignored. There is no way to know that Tang Zhizhou has such an ugly state after receiving the gift from her father! Later, his father happily told her that Tang Zhizhou liked the New Year's gift he gave very much, and Xu Qirong just taught Master Xu Si to give gifts according to this method in the future.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Xu Qirong was playing with Master Xu Si with a pair of scissors and window flowers. Xu Qirong was skillful, and cut out a five-blessing door in a few clicks, and the fourth master Xu followed the study for a long time, and he didn't even learn the simplest blessing mouse New Year's greetings, and the mouse's head was cut out bigger than the body.
Master Xu Si smiled: "Your mother cuts the window flowers better than you, I have also accompanied your mother to cut the window flowers before, I cut a messy thing, I can't see what it is, your mother said that it is a flower blooming rich, let people take it out and paste it." ”
Master Xu Si rarely mentioned the Shen family in front of his two daughters, so Xu Qirong was stunned for a moment when he heard Master Xu Si mention her mother, and then smiled: "No one laughs at the ugly window flowers?" ”
Master Xu Si nodded and said, "Naturally, some people laughed, but your mother told everyone that she cut it, and everyone thought it was really a new trick." Actually, your mother's window grilles cut with her eyes closed are not so ugly. Then he paused and said, "You...... Do you remember what your mother looked like? ”
Xu Qirong thought about it carefully and found that she really didn't remember, so she said: "I just remember that my mother is very gentle." ”
Master Xu Si smiled: "Where is she gentle?" Take you in the garden, encourage you to climb into the rockery and hide to scare me, or take you to a stream outside the city to catch fish...... She is the least gentle, but she is also the most ingenious. Then his face was gloomy, "You don't remember her, it's right, Yun Ying has been gone for seven years, and you were still so young at that time." ”
Xu Qirong's nose was a little sour, for Master Xu Si, her mother-in-law Shen had been gone for seven years, but for her, it was not just that she hadn't seen Shen for seven years! All up, it's at least more than 20 years! Too many things have happened in the past twenty years, and Shen has long been blurred in her mind.
This was something that could not be said to Master Xu Si, and he remembered that Master Xu Si had been relieved about marrying his stepfamily before, and he suddenly understood why Master Xu Si mentioned the Shen family at this time.
Although she can't see how much her father loves her mother on weekdays, at this time, her father still can't bear to be forgotten by her mother.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to say a few words of consolation, he saw Cai Du running in with a red face, with a smile on his face: "Master, girl, the eldest lady and the new aunt are back!" ”
Master Xu Si and Xu Qirong were stunned, they only mentioned Xu Qijin yesterday, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Xijing City are so far apart, Xu Qijin has just married, I am afraid that I will not come back for the Chinese New Year this year, at most let the next person send some New Year's gifts.
Cai Liu smiled: "What are the old man and the girl still in a daze, the eldest lady and the new aunt have brought a lot of things, and they have already arrived at the door!" Then he pursed his lips and said a little shyly, "The eldest lady not only rewarded the maid with a big red envelope, but also gave the maid a handful of sesame halva from Suzhou!" ”
Master Xu Si and Xu Qirong reacted at this time, and hurriedly threw away the scissors in their hands, and they didn't have time to change their clothes, so they quickly took someone out to greet them after tidying up a little. Xu Qijin and Du Zhong came at this time, didn't they even spend Chinese New Year's Eve in Suzhou? Xu Qirong was a little worried because there was a big conflict between her sister and brother-in-law, so her brother-in-law brought her sister to her father to ask for an explanation.
When Master Xu Si and Xu Qirong arrived at the gate, they saw Xu Qijin standing on the side, served by Yu Qiu and a mother-in-law, holding a small hand stove in his hand, wrapped in a cloak of white rabbit fur, combed in a cross bun, with a silk inlaid gem-inlaid jade rabbit rank fairy grass hairpin and two jade butterfly love flowers and gold step shaking, with wealth and glory and unparalleled elegance.
Xu Qijin just stood like that, watching Du Zhong, who was dressed in a wide-sleeved black robe, directing everyone to move the things in the car down. Although the atmosphere between the two does not seem to be very harmonious and sweet, it is not as needle-to-needle as imagined.
I haven't seen you for a long time, and both Master Xu Si and Xu Qirong's eyes are a little sour. (To be continued......)
