Chapter Seventy-Four: Breaking Wealth
Cao Xiu had a bright smile like sunshine on his face, and nodded with great certainty, and when Cao Yun saw it, his heart was immediately happy as if it was about to explode.
Lang Sheng laughed and said, "My good third brother! You're really embarrassed by our Ming'an Hou Mansion this time! Brother Wei can almost imagine what kind of turbulent waves will be set off in the capital after this news is known! ”
Even the lingering haze in his heart was quickly dispelled by this good news, leaving him only full of pride for his third brother.
Cao Xiu looked at the second brother who was really happy for himself, and thought that in the spring of next year, he, his father and his sixth sister would go to Jiangnan together, and he would leave home for a while, and he really had mixed feelings in his heart.
The father also has good intentions for himself and the sixth sister, presumably after his third grandfather comes back from Jiangnan, any clues will no longer exist, and anything that is unfavorable to him will be cleaned up by the eldest uncle.
Obviously, he was heartbroken for a pair of children, but when he came to Master Cao San, he pulled the corners of his mouth and said with a big grin, "It just so happens that your old son and I will go out with you to relax, your uncle treats me like Cao Yun, and let me use the reason of sending my son to apprentice to relax for a while." ”
It seems that he is still stained with Cao Xiu's light, such a father really makes Cao Xiu feel moved, feel heartwarming, and feel even more distressed.
There are some things, Cao Xiu has not been entangled, resentful, and sad, but with these family members who are dedicated to being good to himself, as well as the careful cousin Qing who is afraid that he will break if he touches it, he really doesn't have to work hard, and he can step into the light without hesitation.
"Sinking into the darkness, it seems that I don't have the qualifications to be willful and arbitrary" Cao Xiu was silently slandered in his heart, but his mouth was responding to such and such questions from his second brother.
With Cao Yun happily gagging on the side, Cao Xiu's little sadness just now was quickly dispelled by the heat around him
The brothers of the Cao family here are excited and talking about Cao Xiu's affairs together, and a pair of brothers on the other side are also together, listening carefully to the people's feedback, and what the ladies are talking about in the next morning.
"Yo, it's still a long way to play, I went to Fengyun Mountain, tsk, tsk, tsk, this little girl of the Meng family is quite wild, and she dares to lead so many delicate ladies of the family, and she went to the deep mountains and old forests outside the suburbs of Beijing!" King Ruijun said sour words in his mouth, but in fact, he was very happy in his heart.
Just from the rhythmic fan in his hand, which was played by him, you can see the clues, of course, this can only be seen by someone who is very familiar with our county prince.
Standing at the bottom was one of the palace maids who served Cui Wanqing and their tea in the afternoon, this one was also brought out by Qi Xuanhui, and the expression on her face was similar to that of her own master, and she couldn't see any mood in a faint way.
I only heard her open her mouth and said: "The prince of the county is worried, the slave maid listened to Miss Nine of the Cui family, and each family will have brothers to go with her, which is a lot of people, and I heard the young lady of the Meng family say that I will let the eldest young master of the Meng family go together to escort my younger brothers and sisters." ”
Qi Xuanhui had been lowering his head before, staring at the Ganoderma lucidum carvings on the armrests of the circle chair, as if these carvings were so exquisite, and he was fascinated by them, until he heard this, he suddenly raised his head, his eyes were shining, and he glanced at his ninth brother with a smile.
The information conveyed in this pair of eyes full of stars made King Ruijun can't help but be overjoyed.
He closed the fan he was playing with, waved his hand casually, and motioned for everyone in the room to go out, letting Huang Ming and his little eunuch Lin Yong guard the door at the door.
When there was silence in the house, the master suddenly scolded, "His grandmother's, if the eldest young master of the Shangguan family can also go to Fengyun Mountain with him, then it is really alive!" ”
He thought about it, but it was a pity that although the Shangguan family was Mrs. Cui's maiden family, no one wanted to participate in the big house this time, even if he wanted to, he couldn't break it.
"I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry." Qi Xuanhui looked at Qi Xuanli unhurriedly, and said very calmly: "If you can build a good relationship with Meng Zetian first, my brother will feel really good, in fact, if it is really Shangguanzhang's little fox who came together, even if we brothers join forces, I am afraid that we will have to take care of one and lose the other." ”
"This kind of thing, it must pass through the water without a trace, and the subtle is the best, if it is seen at a glance, doing such a straightforward thing, you and I brothers will not be laughed at to death? Anyway, my brother can't do it. ”
When King Ruijun heard this, he seemed to think of something extremely ridiculous, and he couldn't stop laughing, such a wide Zixing Nanmu circle chair didn't seem to fit him, and it looked like it was about to fall to the ground.
Qi Xuanhui is the most patient with Qi Xuanli now, but seeing that his ninth brother is pumping again, he is not in a hurry, he twists his face and holds his chin as smooth as jade, looking at the vermilion Wufu Xianshou orangutan felt curtain hanging on the door of the house, one, two, three, silently counting the little bats on the curtain in his heart.
"Ahem, ahem, um, um." King Ruijun smiled, sat upright, straightened his clothes, cleared his throat, and said with a smile: "Do you remember a few days ago, our King Chengjun, my good tenth brother, honored the pair of glazed Longquan Flower Fen bottles in the Mingguang period to his father?" ”
Qi Xuanhui withdrew his eyes staring at the door curtain, tilted his head and thought about it, and after a long time, he remembered that there was such a thing, nodded lightly and said: "Remember, it seems that Concubine Jing sent a pair of bottles to his father, and his father was overjoyed, and he came to us for five or six days, and rewarded his mother with many precious objects, which made her face very long." ”
"Brother Ten's actions, I'm afraid that he is also fighting for his mother's concubine, this is a common thing, what's so ridiculous?"
He frowned and looked at King Rui, really a little puzzled, you must know where the inner courtyard of the deep palace is, the most important thing is these tricks to compete for favor, it is rare to see once or twice a day, and it can ensure that each trick is not repeated.
I really don't know that my father and emperor, guarding so many concubines, appeased this, and wanted to coax that, tossing and turning, he is not young, how can he eat such a variety of tricks? Still having fun like this?
King Ruijun glanced at him with slanted eyes, and with a swish, he opened the folding fan in his hand very handsomely, because of the weather, he didn't dare to fan hard, it was just such a shaking action, to put it bluntly, he loved to be pretentious!
The pretending to be mysterious lowered his voice and whispered to Qi Xuanhui: "Brother Wei also received the news from the palace just now, saying that my father and emperor have won two pairs of excellent bottles in a row, and I am very proud in my heart. ”
"I specially invited my confidant ministers to appreciate and appreciate it, but it turned out that Ming Anhou lost face on the spot, it turned out that the pair of reward bottles sent by the tenth brother was fake!"
At this time, even Qi Xuanhui couldn't help but bend the corners of his mouth, and secretly thought, "This is really big enough, the ninth brother will not deal with the tenth brother when he is young, this will make the tenth brother embarrassed and lose his hair, can he not gloat on the pole?" ”
But he said seemingly casually, "I can imitate even my father's sharp eyes, this person is definitely a talent." ”
King Ruijun nodded straight and happy, but he heard his thirteenth brother murmur and answered, "It seems that I haven't heard that Anhou is a master of antiques?" Why did he insist that the pair of reward bottles given by Brother Ten was fake? ”
He looked at Qi Xuanli meaningfully, and said word by word: "Unless"
"Unless it's really in the Ming'an Hou Mansion!"
"Unless it's really in the Ming'an Hou Mansion!"
King Ruijun looked at Qi Xuanhui and blurted out, and the brothers said this sentence in unison, but they looked at each other and smiled.
Although these two people guessed inaccurately, they were not far from the truth, the pair of inlaid lacquer line multi-treasure carved bottles presented by Concubine Jing were given by Cui Wanqing to Cui Wanhua, and Cui Wanhua was filial to his mother-in-law, which can be regarded as something that came from the Ming'an Hou Mansion.
And the pair of glazed Longquan flower fragrance vases presented by King Chengjun were coincidentally the dowry of Mrs. Cao Laohou when they got married.
Ming Anhou was brought up by Mrs. Cao Laohou when he was a child, and he saw this thing in the small treasury of his mother's mother.
But Cao Yunxiu thought that this pair of bottles was too eye-catching, and only chose the pair of multi-treasure carved bottles that looked festive, and this pair of bottles and some other valuable objects were sifted out, just because his sister tossed such a scene, he can be said to have a deep memory of this pair of bottles.
Since Ming Anhou knows that the real thing is in his own house, then this flattery and flattery is a little unspeakable, the foundation of his foothold in front of the saint was originally a word 'sincerity', and after a long time, it has become a habit, and it will be a little stumbling if you want to tell a lie.
After hesitating, the master who understood him saw the clues, and immediately asked him by name what was going on.
Between offending the prince or deceiving the master, it is really not difficult to choose, Ming Anhou gritted his teeth, and naturally had nothing to hide at the moment, and told him everything, of course, the origin of the Duobao lacquer bottle, but he didn't mention half a word.
However, the pair of genuine glazed Longquan flower fragrance appreciation bottles were immediately presented into the palace by the Marquis of Ming'an, saying that it was a thing that the courtiers gave to their masters, but it was also a great way to appease the emperor and lose face.
Today's saint sees the object with his own eyes, even if he gives Ming Anhou another 10,000 guts, he doesn't dare to hide it privately, in the end, this is the benefit, or today's saint!
However, Mrs. Cao Laohou was distressed, so she had to comfort herself, "Break the wealth and eliminate the disaster, break the wealth and eliminate the disaster" R1152
