Chapter 69: The Eldest Sister (1)
These two glass beads suddenly made the whole silver hairpin colorful.
The glass is different from jade, it is more transparent and shiny, the texture of the two is different, and the high-ranking officials of Dayan nobles who are used to seeing jade will definitely be fascinated by this brilliant glass!
Shen Yuntang took out the hairpin and looked at the sky light through the window, in fact, she admired the ancient craftsmen very much, she just provided the drawings, and they were able to make the real thing in a short time.
With such craftsmanship, the flaws in the dark green glass beads are not worth mentioning at all.
Shen Yuntang opened it and looked at a few more, and each one did a good job, exceeding her expectations.
Shen Yuntang selected six brocade boxes from them, and pushed the rest to Changshou, "Put it away, only take the top three for today's banquet and put them up for auction." ”
Changshou looked at the dozen or so brocade boxes left and was puzzled, "Master Hou, why have we done so much, but now we only take three out for auction, this is ...... Isn't it true that the more you sell this thing, the more you earn? ”
Shen Yuntang glared at him, "You are stupid, you sold it all at once, can you still be scarce and expensive?" ”
When the time comes, it will be worthless.
Changshou turned a corner in an instant when he was mentioned like this, "It's still thoughtful Master Hou." Then he carried the rest of the brocade box and went out with a smile.
Shen Yuntang shook his head speechlessly, this original owner is rigid, why is the Chang Sui brain around him not bright.
Shen Yuntang marked the remaining six brocade boxes and locked them in the cabinet in the private room.
As soon as it was locked, Changshou hurried in again.
Shen Yuntang turned his head and frowned at him, "What's the matter?" ”
The joy on Changshou's face couldn't be concealed this time, "Hou ...... Master Hou, the eldest lady is here! ”
The eldest lady in Changshou's mouth is Shen Xinwen, the eldest daughter of the Shen family.
Shen Xinwen only got married last year, and she was nineteen years old when she got married.
This is considered a late marriage among the nobles of Yanjing, if she stays in the Hou Mansion for another two years, I am afraid that she will really become an old girl.
When Shen Xinwen was not married, the Shen family was Shen Xinwen's family, and later Shen Xinwen got married, which was Shen Xinlian's family.
Shen Xinwen is the eldest daughter of the Hou Mansion, she began to take over the power of the family from her grandmother when she was fifteen years old, and the second lady Shen Xinlian was also taught by her.
If it weren't for the fact that she was worried about her older grandfathers and grandmothers, as well as a group of younger brothers and sisters, Shen Xinwen would only delay her time until she was nineteen years old.
Although she is the concubine of the Hou Mansion and has a family name, after all, she is old and the Hou Mansion is incorruptible.
The Yongxing Marquis Mansion is a royalist party, everyone in the court understands it, but now the regent is in power, as long as there are some eyes and some power, I am afraid that few families are willing to marry the daughter of the Yongxing Marquis Mansion.
If this is a brother-in-law with the little marquis, in the regent's place, it is similar to hanging his head on the waistband of his trousers.
Because of this restriction, Shen Xinwen's choice was not big, and when Yongxing Hou was still there, he didn't care much about his children, and almost all of his daughters were raised by Mrs. Shen.
In the eyes of Yongxing Hou, the marriage of these daughters will naturally be decided by their mothers.
Even if Old Madam Shen is sharp-eyed and sees people very accurately, she can only pick up the tallest one among her granddaughter's shorties.
Famous families all cherish feathers, and the son-in-law can't look down on the Hou Mansion, and the old lady on the side can't look down on it.
You can only choose from the children of the poor.
Most of these children of the poor family are officials of the new imperial court, their grades are not high, and their families have no foundation, it is precisely in this way that they do not have so many scruples and are willing to marry the Hou Mansion.
