Chapter 136: Change of Heart
61_61522 Shui Lian smiled and said: "Actually, there is nothing, I just thought of it because of what my sister just said, since the list of clothes we have drawn up is not proper, I want to come to those gift lists, as well as jewelry lists, there must be problems, what can I do?" β
Gui Yuxia thought about it for a while, thought for a while, and said with a flash of inspiration: "Miss Shuilian, you don't have to worry, now those porcelain workshops and porcelain craftsmen are all managed by Chen An's others." The goldsmith and jewelry workshop are managed by Cao Suo, and the woodworking workshop is Liu Lin and a few of them. Several of them are the old people of the Internal Affairs Office, the elders of the family, they themselves are often for the royal service, not only several princesses dowries they have participated in the purchase, but also the girls of the capital to buy dowries, they have also invited them. They are very proficient in these things, it is better to invite them over and let them draw up a list, so it is better. β
Shuilian couldn't help laughing and said: "This is really confused, I didn't expect such a simple truth, thanks to my sister's reminder, in the future, my sister found out what my sister didn't think of, and I must tell me bluntly like this." β
Gui Yuxia has been a grandmother in the palace for so many years, and has been an official in Qingchun City for so many years, so she is naturally very sophisticated, and she is naturally more thoughtful than Shuilian, and she is also very happy to hear this, nodding with a smile, and leaving.
As soon as she left, the people waiting in the small hall next to her hurried over and asked for water lotus. Shuilian is very decisive, and it will be dealt with after a while, and after dealing with it, she asked the little maid to invite Wan Shuhui and Shui Hong to come over, and on the other hand, she sent someone to invite Cao Suo, Liu Lin, and Chen An over. A while. Wan Shuhui and Shui Hong both came over. As soon as Shuilian said what she said to Gui Yuxia, Wan Shuhui said: "It's really dark under the lights, how can such a capable person forget about it?" Fortunately, she is a loyal and kind person, and knowing that she is here, it can be seen that the city lord treats these people well, and these people also remember the city lord's goodness. Know the reward. I think Gui Yuxia is right. We invited these craftsmen to come over, and they went through a lot of things. When they were in the capital before, they were all craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry and Internal Affairs for generations. I don't know how many marriages these princesses have done, but it's better to have their help. β
As they were talking, Liu Lin and Cao Suo arrived. Shui Lian and Wan Deputy City Lord hurriedly explained the matter. Chen An used to be the director of the engineering department, but because of the permanent workshop. Only then did he resign from his official position, but he managed these craftsmen all year round. He knew best what talents these craftsmen had, and said with a smile: "Water Lotus, the Water Red Girl and the Ten Thousand Deputy City Lords have come to us, actually. We are deliberating, the marriage of the county lord is a big matter, and we all have to come to help. This list is not only something we will draw up with all our hearts. will also bring the best hand to do it in person, and be sure to make the dowry of the county lord better than the dowry of Princess Lichuan back then. β
Wan Shuhui smiled and said, "I'm here to thank you for the city lord." All you have to do is draw it up. Just do it, silver is not a problem, and materials are not a problem, whether it is gold, silver and jade, gems and pearls, silk and satin, we have everything in the city lord's mansion of Qingchun City. Money is not an issue. We must make the best of the city lord's dowry. β
Chen An said: "We don't shirk either, a few of us have done all this work." In addition, I used to manage some jade craftsmen, stonemasons, pasting craftsmen, millstones, lacquer craftsmen and other best craftsmen, all from the capital, if not for their own work in the palace, or not for the elders of the family to do work for the palace, the work is very good, I helped to gather them all, together to draw up a list, do the work in person, although the time is relatively tight, but we have a lot of manpower, will be able to complete on schedule. β
The deputy city lord said, "That's good. In fact, our city lord is the concubine of the Xiao Chen family, and the Xiao Chen family and the Chen family will buy a dowry for the city lord. However, we also have to buy one, after all, isn't the more of this dowry, the better? In this way, in the future, the city lord will be able to have a lot of money in the capital and not be afraid of embarrassment. Chen An, I'll leave this matter to you. What needs to be said. Water Lotus, the water red girl will definitely help. I'm going to go to Hei's house for a trip, and I'm going to ask Hei's family to prepare some too, so that we can prepare more and better in a few clicks. β
Chen An smiled and said: "That's a good feeling, what we do is the craftsmanship of the palace of Da Chu, if you add the craftsmanship of the Hei family, plus the Chen family's purchase, the county lord's dowry is not only more, it must be the best." β
Wan Deputy City Lord nodded.
Shui Hong, Shui Lian hurriedly gave everyone a blessing and said, "Thank you for your help." After a month, the girl will be rewarded when she returns. β
Chen An hurriedly said: "I don't deserve the girl's gift." Doesn't that torment us? We are now mixed with heads and faces, and the relatives and clansmen in the family are all enjoying the blessings, isn't this all thanks to the blessings of the county lord? Isn't it the right thing to do? This is an opportunity for us to do our best. β
Wan Shuhui, Shui Hong, and Shui Lian all laughed.
The best craftsmen in the entire Qingchun City were soon summoned, not only drew up the list, but also divided the labor, and prepared a dowry for Chen Wenhui with the best quality and the fastest speed.
Gui Yuxia was too busy, not only to bring the sisters over in a hurry, but also to start manual work, on this day, she had just returned home from the City Lord's Mansion, teasing the children. Da Niu hurriedly came back from outside and said, "Why did you come back so early today?" β
Gui Yuxia said: "Today's progress is very fast, so come back early." Why did you come back so early? β
Da Niu frowned when he heard the words and said, "Isn't it that the eldest sister is troubled?" She ran to my shop and cried, there was no way but I had to bring her back. β
Gui Yuxia asked a little strangely, "What's the matter?" β
Da Niu was a little hateful and said: "The eldest sister said that my brother-in-law raised an outer room outside, and that outer room is still pregnant. β
Gui Yuxia was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "What's going on?" My brother-in-law has always been honest, how could he do such a thing? Is there a misunderstanding? β
Da Niu said: "I have arranged for the eldest sister to live in our wing room, and ask a maid to serve her to freshen up." She'll be here in a moment, so ask for it. However, after she finished speaking, I went to check how big Qingchun City could be, and I found out at once. According to a few friends who often stay with their brother-in-law, this outer room is a little girl who was supposed to be looking for a job in Qingchun City between his brother-in-law and Qingchun City, always recruiting workers. This little girl followed her brother-in-law all the way from Da Chu to Qingchun City, and when she saw with her own eyes that her brother-in-law was earning a lot of silver as soon as she changed hands, her eyes were red. Later, her brother-in-law found her a workshop to work in, but she was not satisfied after three days of work, and she was too tired, so she tried her best to stick to her brother-in-law. I heard that this little girl was only sixteen years old, and she was young and young, so where could her brother-in-law resist it, so she naturally spent money to buy a small house outside for the woman to live in, and raised her in the outer room. β
Gui Yuxia was very unhappy and said: "Brother-in-law is really, the family has just developed, and the debts have not been paid off yet, so he has already done something sorry for the eldest sister." Moreover, what age is my brother-in-law? The eldest sister has followed him for most of her life, seeing that her daughters are married, and her son is slowly getting older, and it will soon be time to call her daughter-in-law, what is the blame for this? Aren't you afraid of being embarrassed? Besides, he can't make a fortune by us, if we are ruthless, regardless of him, what money will he take to support the outer room? β
Da Niu said: "No, I tell Sister SΓΉ, don't be busy crying, I won't give up on this matter." Does Jiang Shi think that our Qi family can't do without men? Do you think I'll sit back and watch my eldest sister being bullied and not say anything? β
Gui Yuxia hated such an ungrateful person the most, and couldn't help but say: "I'll go to the wing room to see the eldest sister now, you go to find your brother-in-law, and ask him what is going on, if he is willing to change his mind, it is naturally good, if he refuses to change his mind, then don't blame us for being polite." β
Da Niu nodded, changed his clothes and prepared to leave, Gui Yuxia had a lot of things to deal with, she was more experienced, and called Da Niu back and said: "Don't go alone, you pick up the guards and family members at home, and bring a few more." β
Da Niu understood as soon as he heard it. I wanted to postpone it, but after thinking about it, my wife was right, so I took the guards and the family went out to find Jiang Shi's bad luck.
Gui Yuxia thought about it, asked the kitchen to make a bowl of almond milk, and asked the little maid to go to the wing room with it.
In the wing room, although Qi Yufen, who has always been strong, has already dressed up, there are still tears on her face.
Gui Yuxia said: "I've heard everything Da Niu said, sister, don't be sad, this matter, naturally we are in charge, and we will never let my sister suffer." It's just that my sister has something in her heart, so she should tell us earlier. β
Qi Yufen thought for a while and said: "The matter has come to this, I am also old, my children are older, and I will be able to call my daughter-in-law in two years, how can I still suffer this insult?" I want to reconcile with Jiang Shishi. β
Gui Yuxia was taken aback and said, "Eldest sister, you can't be rash at this time. I think, it's human nature for my brother-in-law to take a wrong step, is it full of lust? However, the eldest sister and his husband and wife have been married for most of their lives, and they can live a good life at this glance, how can they just reconcile and leave? I think, as long as your brother-in-law is willing to change his mind and throw away that outer room, you still forgive your brother-in-law, right? After all, you still have children, even after Xianghua gets married, her mother's family is reconciled, which will also affect her status in her in-law's family. My sister must look at the child's face. β
When Qi Yufen heard that she thought of her children, she couldn't help but feel sad again and cried.
Gui Yuxia couldn't help but shed tears, and hated Jiang Shishi and his outer room even more in her heart. (To be continued).
