Chapter 49: Acquaintances
P.S.: Dear friends, I've been too busy lately, so bear with Yaoyao and push it next week to strive for a daily double change.
----------------------------------------------------
Early the next morning, Shu Yao showed Shu Jie two books and a fish-shaped jade pendant, but carefully tore off the two pages that mentioned the rebirth of her mother, although the eldest brother is the person she trusts and relies on the most, but the rebirth of this kind of thing is too weird, and it is better not to let the eldest brother know the Tao unless it is absolutely necessary.
Shujie was also shocked after reading it, and asked Shuyao to put it away: "Now we are doing tofu trading is enough for daily expenses, as well as the income from Zhuangzi." Don't use these things from your mother first, so as not to make a big fuss, our family doesn't have enough self-protection ability now. In addition, it is not appropriate to do business with too much fanfare during the filial piety period. ”
Shu Yao nodded, and put the things still in the flat box and put them away.
Shujie thought about it, and explained: "Yao'er, don't say anything about your mother's birth of a daughter, my mother's biological parents don't know what's going on, and this matter can't be publicized." "Shu Jie is worried that the Zhen family will come to trouble again, and Shu Yao is angry that he will tell the truth, which is a crime of bullying the king.
Moreover, no matter what, the Zhen family raised Donnie Yen, and always had the grace of nurturing. As for them sending Donnie Yen to Chongxi for their own interests, in fact, many women's biological parents will do this, although it is contemptible, but the three of their brothers and sisters, as juniors, will also give people the truth if they are careless, and it will also affect the reputation of their mother's nienie Yen.
Shu Yao obediently agreed, she was not a real six-year-old girl, but the soul of an adult who had gone through a lot of hardships, and she still knew the severity of this matter.
Shu Yao and Nian'er had already made an appointment to go to the street together today, Nian'er wanted to prepare a birthday gift for her father, and Shu Yao was her best friend, so she wanted to ask Shu Yao to help her choose together.
Because they are still young, and they are in this small county, the two of them don't need to wear hats, and they talk about what they see in a whisper while walking, which is very joyful. Mother Liu, Erniu, Mother Zhang, and Nian'er's nurse, and the personal maid Shui Ling followed behind with a smile.
Because Yulin Town is a north-south transportation hub and a commercial gathering place, in some big shops in Yulin, you can buy special goods from all over the north and south, and the jade shop "Lanyue Xuan" that Shu Yao and Nian'er are going to is one of them.
"Lanyue Xuan" specializes in all kinds of high-end jade ornaments, and there is a large store in Yulin and Beijing, and the buyers of jade jewelry shops from all over the country often come here to purchase in bulk, of course, the price of bulk purchase is different from their single purchase.
"Lanyue Xuan" has two floors, the first floor is mainly jade jewelry, and the second floor is large and small ornaments.
Shu Yao and the others went up to the second floor, and Nian'er took a fancy to a small green jade table screen bracket, the size of which was placed at the end of the inkstone to block the wind and dust. The bracket is made of good green jade, and it is engraved with windward bamboo, and there are a few words "quiet to far", which is extremely elegant.
Nian'er has studied embroidery for three or four years, and recently received the guidance of Liu's mother, and is very confident that she is ready to embroider a pair of screens by hand.
The two little girls were talking about what kind of pattern to embroider on the screen with great interest, and suddenly the screen frame in Nian'er's hand was snatched away by someone's hand, the action was too fast, and it was unexpected and sudden, and even the maids and mothers on the side had no time to stop it.
Shu Yao and the others were startled, and when they looked back, standing behind them was a fiery little girl about the same age as Nian'er, with a proud face: "Man, I have taken a fancy to this screen frame, wrap it for me." ”
"I'm sorry, girl, this screen frame is the first thing the two girls fancied, the girl should choose another one, we have a lot of fine products in Lanyuexuan, and the small ones can also be recommended for you." The guy knows Xu Nian'er, and he knows that she is the precious daughter of Lord Xu in the Chinese book, and Mrs. Xu often visits the "Lanyue Xuan", and she can really be called an old customer here.
Moreover, Lanyue Xuan also has his own strong background, except for the royal family, there is no need to deliberately flatter anyone, but word of mouth is very important.
The girl in red glared: "They took a fancy to it, and they didn't pay the silver, and now the things in the hands of this girl are the girl's, Jin Wu, pay the silver." ”
One of the two maids standing beside the girl in red glanced at Shu Yao and Nian'er apologetically, and took out her purse: "Man, how much silver?" ”
The guy took the jade screen stand: "Girl, please choose another, the rules of this store are fair and reasonable, every customer must be treated equally, unless these two girls agree to give it to you, otherwise this screen frame is theirs." ”
"You ......," the girl in red was furious, "do you know who I am?" My grandfather was a Chinese scholar, and my cousin was the emperor's favorite concubine. ”
When Shu Yao heard this, she looked at it carefully, and sure enough, it was Ding Meier, who entered the palace six years later, and quickly spoiled Concubine Yan, who had been beautiful for seven or eight years, and it was said that the emperor loved her most delicately and beautifully.
After such a long time, Shu Yao almost didn't recognize her.
Ding Meier has been as beautiful as a flower since she was a child, and at a young age, her soul-hooking eyes have captured the hearts of countless sons of families. However, Shu Yao knew that Ding Meier didn't look down on those families, her goal since she was a child was to enter the palace, and the elders of the Ding Mansion have always pinned their hopes on revitalizing the family on this peerless and beautiful daughter.
Ding Meier is four years older than herself, and this year, like Nian'er, she is ten years old.
Calculating the time, she should have entered Beijing and passed through here this time, right? Ding Meier grew up in Kacheng in the southwest, and only entered Beijing at the age of ten to receive various teaching and training to prepare for the draft. I heard that Ding Meier alone has six teaching mothers with different skills, not only to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, etiquette and scheming, but also to learn special skills such as "charming".
Ding Meier is the grandniece of the old lady of Murong Mansion Ding, and the niece of the eldest lady of the little Ding family, and often lives in Murong Mansion in Beijing. Therefore, when Shu Yao later heard that Concubine Yan was "Jiaohan", she was sick to her stomach for a while.
Ding Meier's nature is not only arrogant and ruthless, but also extremely resentful. In her previous life, Shu Yao overheard the two ladies chatting at a party in the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion, and in order to take revenge on a lady she hated when she was a child, Concubine Yan not only used high-ranking officials to let the lady divorce her, but also made her sell her to the Qinglou.
However, this incident became an inducement, and a series of "bad deeds" were turned out by the hostile faction, which eventually led to the destruction of Ding Meier and the entire Ding family.
