Chapter 579: Congratulatory Gift

It was a night of restraint, several degrees of wind and rain. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In response to the old saying that the spring night is short, unconsciously, the day has gradually brightened, and a few rays of golden sunlight have also penetrated through the window paper, shining on the newlyweds on the bed.

It seemed that it was because of this bit of sunshine that Luo Yueying, who was sleeping from herself, raised her eyebrows and slowly woke up. When she found that she didn't have any clothes on her body, and there was one more person beside her, she was shocked at first. But soon, she remembered everything she had done last night, and her new identity, which swept away the panic on her face, and she looked a little shy.

Just thinking about the few entanglements last night, Luo Yueying's face turned red, and the feeling of being both ashamed and happy was something she had never had in more than 20 years...... While pondering, a gentle voice sounded in his ears: "Yueying, are you awake?" ”

"Well...... I didn't expect that the person next to the pillow had been paying attention to him for a long time, which made Luo Yueying even more shy in her heart, and she just hated to get into the crack of the bed. Because of her performance last night, she was a little too bold to think about it now, which made her dare not look at Yang Zhen: "He won't think I'm not serious, right?" ”

Yang Zhen looked at the shy appearance of his wife beside him, and unconsciously showed a smile on his face: "We are already husband and wife, you don't want to see each other like this, even if you meet each other so sincerely, it's nothing." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and hugged Luo Yueying into his arms.

Seeing that Ai Lang would mistake his intentions, Luo Yueying was stunned at first, but then she also smiled, yes, what do you have to worry about, since the two have become husband and wife, isn't everything normal last night. Snuggling in Yang Zhen's warm and generous chest made Luo Yueying feel safe and comfortable like never before.

However, this warmth between the two obviously can't last long, although Yang Zhen's parents have died a long time ago, and Luo Yueying, as a bride, doesn't have to go to see Weng Po early, but after all, their identities are here, I'm afraid it won't be long before a new guest will come to the door, and the two of them, as the bride and groom, can't stay here all the time, what will outsiders think?

So, although Luo Yueying's body was a little inconvenient because of the relationship between the rain and dew, she still packed up early, dressed up accompanied by Yang Zhen, and then stepped out of the cave room together.

The sun was already shining outside the room, and some of the subordinates sent by the Cao Gang and Jinyi Wei did not need to be ordered by the two of them, and they had already carefully cleaned up in the front yard, just waiting for the new guests to come to the door.

In this regard, Yang Zhen is very satisfied. But Luo Yueying felt a little awkward, somehow, when she saw those people smiling at her, she always felt that the other party was laughing at her as if she was a new wife. Of course, whether this is a psychological effect or not, only she knows.

Soon after, many congratulatory guests came to the door. Among them, Cai Yingyang and several of Yang Zhen's henchmen and brothers were naturally indispensable, and then Luo Chengzhang and several important figures of the Cao Gang also came around to see if there were any changes in their daughter and son-in-law.

In this regard, Yang Zhen was naturally warmly entertained, and treated Luo Yueying, who was already dressed as a woman, with courtesy. It was not until the afternoon that the guests left in good spirits, and the courtyard returned to peace.

After walking slowly in the courtyard with Luo Yueying's fingers interlocked for a while, feeling the sweetness of the newlyweds, Yang Zhen suddenly thought of something: "Let's go, Yueying, I'll go with you to see those congratulatory gifts." We had a lot of distinguished guests yesterday, and we don't know what kind of gifts they can give us. ”

Luo Yueying is also quite interested in this, after all, no matter how gentle and intelligent a woman is, she also has a vain side, especially when this is the only wedding in her life, she naturally values it more. She was eager to see what kind of gifts the guests had sent and what kind of wishes they had expressed.

As soon as they thought of it, the two of them soon came to a side room that was used as a warehouse. At this time, there were still a few subordinates there who were sorting out the congratulatory gifts of different sizes and full of them. As soon as they saw Yang Zhen and the others coming in, they exited the door with great insight and gave up this place to the real owner.

Yang Zhen and the others were not polite, while taking the congratulatory gift slips placed in the middle, they casually looked at those packages or exposed gifts.

Among them, the gifts given by officials such as Governor Fu Yougui are very valuable - a statue of Guanyin made of pure gold, which is more than half a foot high and weighs five or six catties, and this raw material alone is incredible. There is also a box of gold and silver, inlaid with the head of the jewel of the precious jade, which is also a heavy gift.

Looking at these things, Luo Yueying was a little stunned: "This gift is too heavy, right?" Do you have such a close relationship with Erlang? "Last night, between the beds, Yang Zhen still asked Luo Yueying to call himself Erlang, so there were no more awkward calls such as Erxianggong.

Yang Zhen's eyes only flashed, and he knew very well what the purpose of these officials was to give such a heavy gift. Although they had made it clear that they would not be held accountable for their corruption, these officials were a little empty in their hearts after all. So this time, I took advantage of the marriage to bribe myself, hoping to pull myself into the water.

Yang Zhen was a little disdainful of these people's little Jiujiu, but he didn't intend to refuse. In such a world, you still have to learn to be with the light, if you are too maverick, you will be regarded as an outlier, and you will not be able to do anything. What's more, he has a great goal, and it is impossible to be too unique.

Facing his wife's somewhat strange look, Yang Zhen laughed unconsciously: "It's nothing, they just want to have a good relationship with me, if I withdraw this gift, it may make them feel bad." ”

"Oh......" Since Yang Zhen said so, Luo Yueying, as his wife, naturally would not have any objections.

It's just that in this way, the gifts sent by those people in the Cao Gang are a little shabby. The sealed gold and silver bills, simple jewelry, and even souvenirs are not bad in normal times, but they are really nothing in front of these gold statues and priceless jewelry.

It is precisely because of this that when Yang Zhen and the others looked at those gifts again, their vision was much higher, and they saw themselves much faster. But after browsing all the way through like this, Yang Zhen and Luo Yueying found another important gift at the same time that was far superior to other congratulatory gifts-that was the double happiness character carved from a whole piece of white jade, which was more than half a person tall.

Just the texture of the white jade, with Luo Yueying's eyesight, it can be seen that its value is even higher than that golden statue. And this is not counting the knife work pen power that will carve out the words of such jade, although the word Xi is very common, but it is also quite powerful, obviously from the hands of the Fang family.

For all this, it was naturally impossible for Yang Zhen to see the clues, but he also showed a thoughtful look, because he had found the identity of the person who gave this generous gift from the last few rows of the gift list: "Is this a congratulatory gift from the Xu family in Huating County?" ”

As soon as he said this, Luo Yueying was even more surprised. Even if she is in the boudoir, she also knows the status of the Huating Xu family in Jiangnan. Such a family that can be said to cover the sky with one hand actually sent a congratulatory gift to the wedding of the two of them, and it was such a heavy gift, which really made her a little unbelievable.

It was Yang Zhen, who was slightly stunned, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Erlang, why does even the Xu family come to slap you?" Although he knew that his husband was the big boss of Jinyiwei, Luo Yueying still couldn't believe that his power was so great.

Yang Zhen's gaze moved back and forth on the jade carving for a long time, and then he said softly: "They are not scolding me, but flattering, or calling it apology." ”

"Huh?" Luo Yueying was stunned again, staring at Yang Zhen with doubts, waiting for his further explanation.

Yang Zhen and Luo Chengzhang haven't fully talked to Luo Yueying about the truth of the previous matter, mainly because they are afraid that she will worry. But now, since the two are husband and wife, there is nothing to hide, so Yang Zhen told the role of the Xu family in the previous Cao Gang civil strife.

Seeing Luo Yueying's worried face after listening to her story, Yang Zhen hurriedly patted the back of her hand and said, "You don't have to worry, although the Xu family is not small, whether it is my father-in-law or me, we are not weak and incompetent, and we can make them bully!" And for now, aren't they just returning in vain, and they have to send gifts to the door and apologize? ”

After Luo Yueying listened to his words, although her face looked a little better, her brows were still tightly clustered. With her understanding of Yang Zhen, after knowing what the Xu family did, I'm afraid she wouldn't just forget it, right? Thinking of this, she hurriedly said, "Erlang, are you planning to take revenge?" This is too dangerous, the Xu family's power in Jiangnan is really not small, even the Cao Gang is far inferior, you are really not an enemy of them, how can you......

Seeing that Luo Yueying cared so much about herself, Yang Zhen's heart warmed, and he hugged her lightly, and said confidently: "Don't worry, whether it is me or my father-in-law, although I am not angry in my heart, I don't want to set myself on fire, and I still have this self-knowledge." ”

Seeing him say this, Luo Yueying finally felt a little relieved. But then, I heard Yang Zhen say: "But this congratulatory gift has given me a wake-up call, it seems that the situation of the Xu family is not as terrible as we thought, otherwise they would not have surrendered their identity to give me a gift." Before, my father-in-law and I didn't know whether to fight back against the previous things because of the relationship between the Xu family, but now, I have an idea. ”

Luo Yueying naturally understood what he was referring to, and her heart tightened slightly. But in the end, the words to persuade him not to fight back were still not spoken, because she could see that her husband had completely made up his mind at this time.
