Chapter 178: Reaction (2)
Regarding Lin Zhu's departure, Dong Jisheng, the magistrate of Song County, also knew about Lu Dao, which made him a little depressed, as if he was already preparing his fist, but he knew that Lu Dao would eventually not be able to find the powerlessness of the object of the tapping, which was too congested. He had no choice but to vent this anger on Mrs. Lin and her children, and he was lukewarm to them.
Mrs. Lin only scoffed at Dong Jisheng's performance when she saw it, and didn't take it to heart. Dong Yuzhen and Dong Wenbo seem to have become commonplace, and they don't care too much. The mother and son watched the gift that Lin Zhu asked Dong Yuzhen to get back in Mrs. Lin's house.
Lin Zhu's gifts were in four boxes, none of which were not very large, but they were wrapped in very beautiful brocade, one pink, one blue and two dark red. It is very obvious which box belongs to which person.
"Sister Xiaozhu gave her mother two gifts, it's really eccentric." Dong Yuzhen pretended to be jealous and looked at Mrs. Lin's two boxes.
"You, if you get a bargain, you are still selling here, I guess, sooner or later, the contents of these two boxes will have to belong to you and your brother." Mrs. Lin tapped Dong Yuzhen's forehead and said with a smile.
"How come, since it was given to my mother by Miss Xiaozhu, how can we have our share." Dong Wenbo was surprised that he actually had his own gift.
"Don't you believe me?" Mrs. Lin raised her eyes and looked at the two of them, both of whom shook their heads. "Then let's take a look, it's as different as I thought." As she spoke, Mrs. Lin opened the two dark red boxes.
A pair of emerald bracelets and a pair of bright red bracelets are prominently placed in a box with a silver-white soft satin background.
"Wow. It's so beautiful. Dong Yuzhen couldn't help but pick up the pair of red bracelets, "Mother, what is this made of?" Why doesn't it look like jade? She took it in her hand and looked at it, only to feel that the material was crystal smooth and delicate, and the tentacles were cold, like jade but not jade.
"This pair of emerald bracelets is also very beautiful, why does it look like glass?" Dong Wenbo picked up another pair, but this glass is not very valuable.
"You guys, your knowledge is still a little worse, and you can't compare to Xiaozhu's girl at all." Mrs. Lin looked at the two children with puzzled looks. Shook his head. "Boer. Do you know what kind of jade this jade is? ”
"The book says that the jade is a bird, but it lives in the south, and the male is red and the female is green. But mother. What does this have to do with these two pairs of bracelets? Dong Wenbo didn't quite understand the meaning of Mrs. Lin's question.
"Oh. I know it.,Mother means these two pairs of bracelets are also jadeite, right? Dong Yuzhen had a flash of inspiration.
"Hmm," Mrs. Lin nodded. "Actually, it's also jade" told the two about the origin of jadeite, and the reasons that are not well known. "It's just that many people in the capital like jade recently, I don't know what the reason is." Mrs. Lin has a shop in the capital, so she is very well informed.
What Mrs. Lin didn't know was that because Lin Zhu often entrusted Muyue Trading House to find some jadeite objects, Lu Mingtao sniffed out the business opportunities and began to buy jadeite on a large scale, which pulled up the price of jadeite.
"So, the gift from Sister Xiaozhu is very valuable?" Dong Yuzhen gently put down the pair of bracelets.
"It's just the mind, you don't have to care too much about the value." Mrs. Lin picked up the two pairs of bracelets, looked at them, and said, "When you get married, you will have a pair of people." ”
"Yo, my sister is planning to go to the eldest young master and eldest lady so early, I don't know if there are eyebrows?" A bewitching voice came from the doorway.
"I also said that which subordinate is so unruly, uninvited, it turned out to be my sister." Mrs. Lin smiled and looked at Liu who had just entered the door and Dong Yuyao beside her. It's just that the smile doesn't reach the bottom of the eye.
When Liu heard Mrs. Lin's words, a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes, "Look at what my sister said, it's all a family, where did you get so many courtesies." She walked up to Mrs. Lin and saw the two pairs of bracelets on the table.
"Yo, who gave this bracelet to my sister, the color is quite beautiful," Liu glanced twice, thinking that it was not a valuable object. "It's actually a glass bracelet, who is so blind, and dares to underestimate my sister." As he spoke, he also revealed the white jade bracelet on his wrist. It shook twice as if showing off.
Mrs. Lin glanced at Dong Yuzhen and motioned for her to put these things away, "It's really better than not letting my sister have this superb white jade bracelet in her hand." Mrs. Lin glanced at it and knew that she was made of dry white Dushan jade, which was the lower jade of Dushan jade, of course, it was not as good as Hetian white jade, but Liu did not hear the irony in Mrs. Lin's words, and was still complacent there.
Dong Yuzhen put away the two pairs of jade bracelets. wanted to take down the two unopened boxes together, but was stopped by Liu's brutality.
"Yo, don't be embarrassed, let me see what good things I gave you?" After saying that, he opened the pink box.
There is a jade jade plate inside, the jade jade card is okay, but the chain connected to the jade card is actually made of pearls, and the grains are full and round. At first glance, you can see that the Tao is very valuable. Liu was a little dumbfounded, she had heard that Dong Yuzhen had brought some gift boxes when she came back from the countryside, but she didn't expect it to be anything precious, so she came over to show off her new jade bracelet.
But this string of pearls alone compares her jade bracelet to the bottom. Liu's face suddenly turned blue and white, which was extremely exciting.
"Hey, who's so generous? It won't be a request for my sister," Liu immediately reacted, and the loser couldn't lose, and began to sneer again, "It's just that it's too short-sighted, and now my sister doesn't seem to be able to help others with anything." ”
"My sister laughed, I'm a housewife, who will ask for me, the lord is the head of a county, it's too late for me to avoid suspicion, how can I still collect people's property?" Mrs. Lin quietly fought back, "It's just a gift from a junior." A younger generation should be filial, how can there be a request for me. Mrs. Lin's words alluded to Liu's acceptance of bribes, and her face was flushed.
"I didn't expect my sister to have such a filial junior, I don't know when I can bring it over, so that my sister can also see a thing or two." Liu couldn't believe her words. Why haven't I seen a junior give her such a valuable gift before?
"This may not be the case, she will go to the capital after the New Year." Mrs. Lin waved her hand lightly, "If you go to the capital, I can introduce you to it." ”
"You." Liu's Zhilu Dao Mrs. Lin was born in the Lin family in the capital, although she was a concubine, she was much more noble than her, the daughter of a merchant, and she had never entered Beijing, and she suddenly felt that she was compared to Mrs. Lin.
"Hmph, then sister should appreciate it, it's not too early, my sister has to go to dinner with my master." Liu snorted angrily and turned around and left.
Liu returned to his yard, but he still didn't lose his breath, until Dong Jisheng came to her house, and he was still sullen.
"The master is back." Speaking with a weak appearance, Dong Jisheng felt a little distressed, "What's the matter?" Who made you angry? ”
"Hmph, it's not her yet, relying on her background in the Lin family in the capital, she blindly looks down on me." Liu was aggrieved and complained to Dong Jisheng about Mrs. Lin's condition. "Master, when will you be able to go to the capital?"
"How dare she do this to you?" Although Dong Jisheng can't provoke the Lin family in the capital, Mrs. Lin can't speak in the Lin family and is not valued at all, so Dong Jisheng doesn't value Mrs. Lin very much. "Don't worry, the master will take this breath for you."
"What kind of junior is she, she actually gave her a pearl chain, wouldn't it be asking the master to do something, right? Master, you must be careful, what kind of things do you have to do to offset such a valuable thing? "The Liu family first gave Mrs. Lin some eye medicine here at Dong Jisheng.
"Hehe, who is so blind now, looking for her to do something?" Dong Jisheng laughed disdainfully, "Don't worry, as long as she dares to bring it up, the pearl chain is yours." ”
"Really?" Liu's eyes lit up all of a sudden.
"Sir, when did I lie to you?" Dong Jisheng pinched Liu's face with his hand and whispered in her ear.
"Master," Liu twisted his face in return, but leaned into Dong Jisheng's arms. What made her happiest at this time was that the string of pearls would soon be hers, and the Lin family was just a passing god of wealth. Hum!
Although Mrs. Lin and the three of them received Lin Zhu's gift, the sentimentality of the imminent separation made them not too happy. After the three of them finished lunch, Dong Yuzhen stayed at Mrs. Lin's place, sitting beside her, her head resting on Mrs. Lin's shoulder, her face a little gloomy.
"Zhen'er is reluctant to let Xiaozhu leave, right?" Mrs. Lin asked softly.
"Well," Dong Yuzhen replied in a low voice, "Mother, I know why Sister Xiaozhu left." She also had to do it. ”
"Do you want to say it's because of your father and the Li family?" Mrs. Lin stroked Dong Yuzhen's hand and said.
"Isn't it?" Dong Yuzhen raised her head, "If it weren't for the Li family's coveting of Xiaozhu's sister's things, how could it attract so many things?" ”
"Although part of the reason is indeed because of them, but the main one is the Kizuki Firm." Mrs. Lin chuckled. "Muyue Trading House has a deep background, and it is easy to protect your sister Xiaozhu, but they are worried that someone will find out about her existence and covet the special varieties in her hands, so they will bring her to the capital."
"Moreover, your sister Xiaozhu is also willing to go there, which is also related to an incident that is happening in the capital now." Mrs. Lin said lightly, "But that matter is very important, whether she goes to the capital, only the people there can keep her safe." Mrs. Lin was referring to General Chang's reversal of the case, and Dong Yuzhen also understood what she meant.
"Your father, don't talk to him about this, it will cause unnecessary trouble, do you know it?" Mrs. Lin solemnly admonished Dong Yuzhen.
"Well, don't worry, mother, I won't say it." Dong Yuzhen nodded. (To be continued......)
