Chapter 3 Severity and Seriousness
Cui Wanqing felt in her heart that this gift was probably too heavy, what congratulatory gift would Cui Wanyun give, she really didn't know the bottom in her heart, although this person had silver in his hand and a little bit in his head, but he also had a mind that he couldn't say to people.
Now, Cui Wanhua has entered the gate of the Jin Palace, what is Cui Wanyun's heart, Cui Wanqing can almost imagine it, so it is really hard to say whether this gift is heavy or light.
However, although she didn't know what Cui Wanyun's plans were, she knew that her seventh sister's family was thin, and most of the good things that had been added to her side recently were sent by Cui Wanqing.
I'm afraid that taking the gift I gave and then giving it to another person is something like this, with Cui Wanjuan's character, I can't do it.
As for letting her pay for it herself, even if Cui Wanjuan is willing to spend money to buy it, she is afraid that the things she buys will not be so expensive.
In such a situation, is the gift list proposed by Fang's mother too heavy?
Cui Wanqing's heart is clear about Cui Wanhua's character, it's just that she doesn't care about Cui Wanhua for the sake of Cui Changjian's face, but after all, this person who once didn't take Cui Wanqing's life seriously, and faced with such a cold-hearted eldest sister, she really couldn't get warm in her heart.
On the one hand, she is the seventh sister who cares for herself, and on the other hand, she is the eldest sister who is about to fly on the branch to be a phoenix, and everyone with a discerning eye knows what to do, but Cui Wanqing can't do it, so she steps on Cui Wanjuan's face to talk about Cui Wanhua's matter.
"Let's take a look at these two first, what do they plan to give to the eldest sister, as for these four items. It doesn't hurt to take a look at it first. She waved her hand casually. I saw Magnolia with fragrant velvet. Go out and go.
Mother Fang saw that the look on her face was not very happy, but a little depressed, and couldn't help asking, "What, miss, do you think that the gift list prepared by the slave maid is not very satisfactory?" ”
Cui Wanqing nodded and sighed lightly, "It's not that it's unsatisfactory, it's just that I'm afraid that the gifts we give here will be heavy, and the seventh sister will be difficult to behave on, and I'm not worried about the fifth sister." She has money and a private house, and it is not low, but the seventh sister is inevitably about to be revealed. ”
Mother Fang frowned when she heard this, and couldn't help but pat her thigh, "Hey, it's all slaves and maids who don't think about it, no matter how you say it, you have to seek stability between sisters, don't you?" Besides, Miss Seven has always been close to you and is really good to you. We have to accept her favor, don't we? ”
Cui Wanqing actually already had an idea in her heart, but she was not in a hurry to say it at this time. Let's wait for Yingqiao and Fang Xuan to find out clearly.
Yulan and the others were picking up things in their own yard, not to mention the familiar way, the place was not far away, just in the small hugging building behind the east wing.
As soon as she and Fang Rong turned from the corridor of the East Wing, they heard Fang Rong's 'Huh', and Yulan looked at Fang Rong, but saw this one frowning, looking at the East Corner Gate in the distance.
Magnolia naturally followed Fang Rong's eyes to look over, not to mention that the east corner gate was a little far away, and there were a lot of flowers and trees in the middle, and only a figure standing there could be vaguely seen.
"What? Do you know? Who's that? The small corner door on the east side has always been locked, why can it be opened today? Magnolia asked curiously.
But seeing that Fang Rong's face became pale because of these words, people couldn't help but tremble.
"What the hell is going on, if you make it clear, it's okay to pick yourself out, if you don't understand, you will be burdened in the future, then don't blame my sister and me." Yulan was originally trained by Mrs. Cui to use a maid, so what kind of tent haven't you seen?
Seeing this, I know that something is wrong, I'm afraid this matter is not small, where can you easily let it go without asking for innocence?
Fang Rong was the youngest and most timid of the four Fangli, and immediately knelt on the ground when she heard the words, "Sister Yulan, it's really not about the maid's business, it's just that the maid is unlucky, Bisheng lives in a room with her, she is afraid that the matter will be known, so she took two silver hairpins to block the maid's mouth, this hairpin and maid have never been brought, can the maid hand it over." ”
"Don't be afraid, just say 1510, as long as what you say is useful, not only will these two hairpins be given to you, but my sister and I will reward you with good objects." Yulan first soothed gently, and then made a heavy promise.
Fang Rong could withstand her such measures, and the bamboo tube poured beans as if she was dead, so she told Yulan about the things she was hiding in her heart.
After hearing this, Yulan looked up and looked into the distance, there was no figure there for a long time, and it was a coincidence that she brought Fang Rong out, and Fang Rong was most familiar with that person, so she could find out who the figure was when she didn't even pay attention.
"Okay, I know about this, you just treat it as if you don't have anything, just do what you have to do, and she will stuff things for you again, you just have to continue, just the same, keep an eye on her for your sister, and see who she has to do with her." In the absence of definite evidence, Magnolia will not startle the snake.
Fang Rong will poke out this is not a trivial matter, but it is not a urgent matter, Yulan frowned and asked Fang Rong to get up and call someone to help get things, first finish the errand in front of her and then talk about other things, she walked while secretly thinking in her heart, how to deal with this sudden thing.
Because Fang's mother's gift list was drawn up early, she and Fang's mother had already checked the things, and by the way, they put them in a convenient place, which would unlock and enter the house, and they would go out with the things after a while.
The group entered the small living room, and when Yulan went out, there were only two of them, and when they came back, there were two more little maids, and each of them held a rectangular mahogany carved lacquer plate in their hands, all of them were cautious, and they didn't dare to ignore it.
These four selected gifts were all carefully inspected by Fang's mother and Yulan, all of them were finely crafted, and there were no breaks and scratches, all of them were good things that could be handled.
When Yulan was picking things up with Fang's mother, she also looked at the full little hugging xia and sighed, "Mom, look at it, our young lady's belongings have become more and more abundant after only a year, I remember when Miss Nine first came, how could there be any small warehouse?" ”
"The only few valuable things are all rewarded by the old lady and the eldest lady, but one wardrobe is all fitted, but now you look at it, tsk, tsk, tsk, I'm afraid it will not be able to be put on hold soon."
Cui Wanqing didn't know her family background so well like Yulan and Fang's mother, she also knew that she was no longer a poor lady who couldn't even take out five taels of silver in her hand, and for her, knowing these was enough.
Seeing Yulan carefully commanding the maid and placing the gift on the table of the Eight Immortals, she stood up, walked slowly to the table of the Eight Immortals, and looked at these things carefully in a circle.
Not to mention, Mother Fang and Yulan's eyes are still very good, and after seeing it this time, Cui Wanqing really feels quite satisfied in her heart.
Her favorite is the pair of vermilion inlaid treasure carved lacquer bottles, followed by the set of white jade scholar's room offerings, this set of offerings are complete, from small paperweights, arm rests, to pen washes, pen holders, are carved from white jade, very exquisite.
As for this golden distraction and white jade double happiness cloud pattern jade pendant, Cui Wanqing felt that it was enough to be exquisite and gorgeous, but an object like this, Cui Wanhua would definitely not be missing around her, but she couldn't show anything.
Cui Wanqing tilted her head and thought for a while, looked at Yulan and said, "I remember that we have a push-light lacquer box inlaid with mica tortoiseshell?" The size of the box is the perfect fit for this pair of lacquer bottles, so go get it yourself. ”
She remembers the beautiful polished lacquer box, which was given by her uncle and originally appeared to contain a set of red coral jewelry and all kinds of beautiful gemstones.
Yulan went out and ran to Xiaobaoxia again, and when she came back, she had a gorgeous and delicate red lacquer box, Cui Wanqing opened the box and took a closer look, only to see that it was lined with a thick red coral velvet cushion, which was used to hold this pair of inlaid treasure lacquer line multi-treasure carved bottles, isn't it just right?
Fang's mother felt that her young lady's vision was good, and with this exquisite box that shimmered with moving brilliance, the price of the lacquer bottle had at least doubled.
To put it bluntly, the push-light box embedded with mica tortoiseshell and this pair of vermilion antique lacquer bottles, who is more valuable than the other, is not necessarily.
Everyone saw that the baby was so good at kung fu, and Yingqiao and Fang Xuan also came back, and what Cui Wanyun sent was a complete set of eighteen pieces of Xiang Fuchun's latest makeup box, plus a pair of official kiln pink porcelain pisces and hoof lilies and dragon vases from the previous dynasty.
Cui Wanjuan, on the other hand, is a set of pomegranate curtains embroidered by herself, and a set of head inlaid with rubies.
According to Fang Xuan, this set of ruby heads is not too brilliant, but it is also an object of the Immortal Treasure Pavilion, but the style is not new.
Cui Wanqing frowned after hearing this, but she knew that the set of pomegranate curtains that Fang Xuan said was the dowry embroidered by Cui Wanjuan for her marriage.
The bed curtain alone was embroidered for a whole year, and with the addition of bed sheets and pillowcases, it was more than two years
It is estimated that my seventh sister is afraid that other things will be too stingy to take out, and there is no way, so she will send this set of pomegranate curtains with exquisite embroidery and excellent meaning out to do favors, and she will re-embroider a set in private.
Cui Wanqing knew best how much effort Cui Wanjuan had spent embroidering this set of curtains, and how many nights she had stayed up, how could she watch Cui Wanjuan suffer such a living crime again?
Cui Wanqing was very unhappy in her heart, and she didn't show any hint on her face, but just instructed lightly: "Yingqiao, you and your sister Yulan go to Xiaobaoxia to choose a decent box, put this set of golden distractions and double happiness jade pendants, and send it to Miss Seven."
