(119) Giving back gifts
Yun Xiangrong had just thanked Concubine Shu, and saw Concubine Zhuang walking towards him with a red box in her hand.
"Princess Rong, this is an ear hook, when I was in the Sunny Mansion, I just had the opportunity to go out of the palace, so I went to the jewelry building in the capital to buy a gift for myself, at that time I fell in love with this ear hook, but I am old, I don't look good to wear, but I like it very much, so I bought it, I think it is very compatible with you, it is a meeting gift." Zhuang Concubine said.
Yun Xiangrong felt that Concubine Zhuang was very interesting, and the prince established the mansion, so she didn't congratulate her, but instead bought herself a gift that was not suitable for herself. Concubine Zhuang's gift should have been prepared a long time ago, could it be that the second prince paid attention to the fact that he didn't have pierced ears yesterday?
The second prince's observation is really strong.
But I really like earhooks, and there are a lot of them in Jiangnan's home.
"Thank you, Concubine Zhuang." Yun Xiangrong said politely.
Concubine Zhuang didn't think about it as much as Concubine Shu, she just felt that she was with the queen, and Yun Xiangrong was also with the queen, so when they met for the first time, the elders should give a meeting gift.
The only thing that is consistent with Concubine Shu's thoughts is that this matter should not be publicized and should be low-key, so she will hide the gift box in the food box containing the steamed crabs.
Sending off the two mothers, Yun Xiangrong spoke first: "Queen Mother, the Yun family has a tailor from Jiangnan, I want to make you a set of Jiangnan-style home clothes, the fabric is very suitable for the current season, I don't know what you think?" ”
Women love beauty, and the queen believes in Yun Xiangrong's vision, but she always has to be polite: "Xiangrong, isn't this too troublesome?" ”
"It's not troublesome, I don't know when the store will open, and the master has arrived, and it's okay." Yun Xiangrong said.
"Okay, then you can do it." The queen said.
"Mother, did you like the pajamas I made for you last time? If I like it, I can ask the master to make a few more sets. Yun Xiangrong said.
She remembered that the Duchess of Fuguo said that she liked it very much.
"Okay, the pajamas are good, make a few more sets, it's good, give them to Concubine Shu and Concubine Zhuang, it's a return gift." The queen said.
"Okay, son, take note, and I'll go into the palace to see you when it's done." Yun Xiangrong said.
"Don't worry, by the way, in a few days there will be a begging festival, there will be a banquet in the palace, our elders will not participate, the prince will preside, you brothers and sisters will meet, everyone knows each other." The queen said.
"Yes, Queen Mother." Yun Xiangrong said.
"Tomorrow will be a holy decree of reward, I will pick the best for you in the imperial village, and there are some jewelry, two nurturing grandmothers. When your mansion is finished, I'll send you a few more competent stewards. The queen said.
"Thank your mother for her love, and her sons will keep it in mind." Yun Xiangrong said.
The queen is very good at being a person, and the rewards that outsiders see are nothing more than Zhuangzi and the mansion, these things are really nothing, not worth much, but those rewards that are not on the holy decree are the heaviest.
The second princess born to the queen is that the mansion of the royal gift is really the most inconspicuous, but it's nothing, she basically hasn't lived there, and after getting married, she lived directly in the Baoguo Mansion.
The ten imperial estates of the imperial gift were basically losing money, but later Zhang Yinghan completely rectified them, and now they are all making money.
The second princess got married last year, in addition to the dowry that the royal family should have, the queen gave half of her net worth to the second princess, who let herself have such a daughter. These things are unknown to outsiders.
These clouds want to understand and are very content, the royal family and themselves have no blood relationship at all, it is really enough to do this, of course, they also have to learn to be a man, at least outsiders seem to have a good relationship with the queen.
Yun Xiangrong and Jiang Qingchen said goodbye and left the palace.
The two got into the carriage back to the house, and Yun Xiangrong said, "Cousin, you said that the prince helped me support the scene today, should I also prepare some return gifts or something?" ”
"In terms of etiquette, it should be." Jiang Qingchen said.
"What do you think is better to send back? I don't know much about him either, but the prince probably doesn't lack anything. Yun Xiangrong said.
"It's a bit difficult to give a gift to the prince, I have to think about it." Jiang Qingchen said.
"If you don't cousin, I'll also make a set of casual clothes for the prince, anyway, let him be, wear it if he likes, and don't wear it if he doesn't like it, but the workmanship and style are definitely comparable to royal craftsmanship." Yun Xiangrong said.
"You're very concerned about other men every day, why haven't I heard that you're going to give me a piece of clothing?" Jiang Qingchen said.
"Hmph, say something inexplicable all day long, your birthday next month, I'm going to make a dress for you, I've already started to do it, if I don't tell you now, you'll be angry, and there will be no surprise when you say it, you say I can't do this dress?" Yun Xiangrong said.
"Just when I didn't ask, keep doing it, and besides, it's easy to send surprises, and you give me a surprise for what I've always wanted." Jiang Qingchen said.
"Cousin, what do you want?" Yun Xiangrong asked very religiously.
"If only you gave you to me." Jiang Qingchen hugged Yun Xiangrong, kissed Yun Xiangrong's lips heavily, and said.
Jiang Qingchen felt that just kissing was really not enjoyable, so he came to add, just as Jiang Qingchen's lips gently pasted Yun Xiangrong's pink lips, and the moment Yun Xiangrong closed his eyes, the carriage suddenly stopped, and the noise could be faintly heard.
Jiang Qingchen sighed, calmed down, pulled the curtain, looked around, and said to Jiang Qiao: "Go and see what's going on?" ”
Soon Jiang Qiao came back and said: "Master, there is someone making trouble in front, a person who claims to be the eldest brother of the fourth prince is entangled with Han Yuan, and the people from Jingzhao Mansion have arrived, but they don't confirm the identity of the other party, so they don't dare to take people." ”
Jiang Qingchen said in his heart, it's Han Yuan again, do I have an enmity with you, but this time, whether you are real or fake, I have to find out.
"Rongrong, you are good, don't get out of the carriage, wait for me in the car, I'll be right back after I finish handling things." Jiang Qingchen kissed Yun Xiangrong's forehead and got out of the carriage.
There were three waves of people at the scene, a scoundrel who looked like the second ancestor, standing at the crossroads with a group of people, and Han Yuan, who was protected by four or five family members, and finally four officials from Jingzhao Mansion.
"I tell you, I am the eldest brother of the fourth prince, don't touch me, otherwise your life will be lost." The rogue man said arrogantly.
"No one wants to touch you, Miss Han doesn't want to go to dinner with you, please leave." A government official said.
In fact, the official is already very polite, if ordinary people interfere with public order so much and block the crossroads, they would have been taken back to lecture a long time ago. It was the other party who always said with confidence that he was the eldest brother of the fourth prince, and the officials did not dare to make a move.
"How do you know that Miss Ren doesn't want to, besides, don't you want to know each other? You're right? The rogue man said arrogantly.
"What's your last name?" Jiang Qingchen suddenly said to the rogue man. The momentum is very majestic.
"Shi." The rogue man instinctively replied.
"Take it away." Jiang Qingchen shouted.
In an instant, several forbidden soldiers from the Nine Gates Admiral's Mansion appeared, directly setting up the rogue man.
"Hey, why are you arresting me, is there any royal law under this imperial city?" The rogue man said.
Jiang Qingchen ignored him and said to several officials of Jingzhao Mansion: "Go back and tell Master Li that this case has been taken over by the Nine Gate Admiral's Mansion." ”
"Lord Xie Jiang." The officials saluted one after another.
They knew that it wasn't Jiang Qingchen who appeared today to relieve the siege, and they were afraid that Jingzhao Mansion would be watched lively. But the identity of the other party is not easy to mess with, he is just a servant, and he can't do it.
"The Nine Gates Admiral's Mansion can't arrest people indiscriminately, and we haven't committed a crime." Said the scoundrel male accomplice.
"Disrupting social order and pretending to be relatives of the emperor and the country, the crime will be increased to a certain extent, and you can be punished on the spot." Jiang Qingchen's subordinate forbidden army replied.
"I'm not talking nonsense, I'm really the eldest brother of the four princes, you can go to the palace to find my sister-in-law, she can prove it." The rogue man said hurriedly.
"Of course we'll confirm it. For now, it's better to go to the prison for one night and sober up. The Forbidden Army said.
The scoundrels were taken away by the forbidden army.
Han Yuan's side seemed to be in charge and came to thank Jiang Qingchen, but Jiang Qingchen didn't speak.
Jiang Qingchen's subordinates said: "Please go to the Lower Nine Gate Admiral's Mansion and make a record." ”
The steward was stunned for a moment, and it seemed that he couldn't refuse, so he could only discuss and say: "Official, just now I have sent someone back to inform the mansion, can you wait for someone from the mansion to go to the Nine Gate Admiral's Mansion together?" ”
"Yes, we'll just wait here." The Forbidden Army said.
Jiang Qingchen felt that even if the matter was over, the road would be clear, so he got in the car and accompanied Yun Xiangrong back to his house.
As for what is going on in this matter, just look at the interrogation records tomorrow, and it is estimated that it will not be a big deal, but the heart of Han's richest man to marry a daughter will be more urgent.
When he returned home in the evening, Yun Xiangrong thought of something, and suddenly asked Jiang Qingchen: "Cousin, do you say I have pierced ears?" ”
"Nope." Jiang Qingchen said immediately.
"How did you notice?" Yun Xiangrong was surprised.
"Your earlobes taste great." Jiang Qingchen said.
"Forget it, when I didn't ask, you're a scoundrel." Yun Xiangrong said.
"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?" Jiang Qingchen expressed his doubts.
"Today, Concubine Zhuang gave me an earloop, I like it very much. But I think it should be the idea of the second prince, who may have seen that I don't have pierced ears. Yun Xiangrong said.
"Damn, the second prince is a hooligan, okay? He's married, it's your second brother, it's okay to look at your ears, he's perverted. Jiang Qingchen said angrily.
In fact, I later learned that this was not the case, Qin Huai guided Yun Xiangrong's painting for two years in the Yun family, and he wanted to accept her as an apprentice, he saw that Yun Xiangrong liked ear hooks very much, so he wrote to the second prince and asked him to help customize one in the capital, even if it was an apprenticeship.
As a result, the second prince was not in the capital at that time, and when he saw the letter, he learned that Qin Huai had left Yunfu.
Qin Huai thought that the second prince didn't want to have another junior sister, so he never replied, so he didn't mention it.
The second prince has always felt that he owes Yun Xiangrong an earhook, so when Concubine Zhuang asked him what kind of meeting gift he gave Yun Xiangrong this morning, the second prince's first reaction was earhook, in fact, he didn't know what an earhook was.
