Chapter 495: Wealth and Fortune are moving
"Sir, Mrs., please come over."
As soon as Pei Yunzhao returned from the front office, he was invited to the backyard by the maidservant girl beside his wife. Pei Yunzhao is from the Pei family in Hedong, he is from a noble background, and he naturally knows the goods: "It's so fragrant!" Where did the lady find such a good fragrance? ”
As he asked, he closed his eyes and inhaled softly, deeply, as if he was enjoying himself. Pei Yunzhao's lady, Wei Shi, smiled lightly and said, "The master also thinks this fragrance is good?" ”
"Yes, where did the lady get it?"
Wei Shi glanced at him and said, "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess sent a gift from someone." ”
Pei Yunzhao let out an "oh" and stopped talking, only closing his eyes to enjoy the aroma that filled his nose. Webster hesitated and said, "Such a heavy gift, but we have nothing to return the gift......
Both husband and wife are from families, and they naturally know the value of good incense, which can be said to be hard to find. It turns out that there is no return gift, no wonder the wife will use these little things to disturb herself, in the past, things like the festival were all handled by Webster, and he never needed to ask.
Pei Yunzhao pondered for a moment and said: "I think His Royal Highness doesn't care about these things, otherwise, he will never give us such a heavy gift, it must be because of our friendship that he will give this gift." We try our best. ”
Wei Shi was silent, only looked at Pei Yunzhao with a pair of eyes, and his eyes were pointed. Pei Yunzhao was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately, and couldn't help laughing: "Where does the lady want to go?" ”
Wei Shi still didn't speak, just looked at it like that, but Pei Yunzhao was a little panicked, and hurriedly said: "When I was young, I admired His Royal Highness as a father, but many years have passed, His Royal Highness and Xue Ju Ma Qinse are in harmony, and the two are happy, don't I and my wife also love each other?" Why are the ladies suspicious? ”
Webster snorted: "Really? Didn't lie to me? ”
Of course Pei Yunzhao didn't do it: "Why do you deceive your husband and wife?" ”
Wei smiled slightly, and reminded softly: "Where did the old man and Yang Changshi go to drink yesterday?" ”
Pei Yunzhao was speechless. Wei chuckled, his little eyes were very proud, his eyes were circulating, and he had the coquettishness of a young woman, Pei Yunzhao's eyes were fixed, and he hurriedly said: "If the husband is wrong, the lady will forgive, but the husband is not in chaos, please let the lady know." ”
Wei Shi said angrily: "I know that the old man is not really messing around, otherwise, can he wait until today?" ”
Pei Yunzhao admits defeat: "The lady is discerning, and Yun Zhao admires it." ”
The posture was very sincere, which caused Wei Shi to laugh again, and after laughing, he remembered today's purpose, and turned to say: "I heard that after Her Royal Highness the eldest princess took over as the governor of Taizhou, she asked the sage to prepare for the establishment of a water division, is there anything wrong?" ”
Pei Yunzhao took his wife's hand and sat down, and said, "It's true, the sage also gave five big ships to His Highness, didn't there be a fleet of ships transporting military salaries from Yuezhou at the beginning of the year?" ”
Webster rolled his eyes and asked, "Naturally, I remember it for my wife." Five large ships...... Didn't you also set off from Taizhou at the beginning of the year, I don't know where to go? You say, could this incense be the result of this fleet from the sea? ”
Pei Yunzhao was stunned, his eyes tightened, and he carefully identified the smell of the incense, and said while slowly bowing his head: "This incense smells like it is mixed with high-grade ambergris......
After that, he was silent. Wei Shi pushed him and said: "My eldest brother sent a letter from Jingshi, saying that Jingshi has a batch of good incense, especially ambergris and agarwood, and good fragrance is hard to find, and everyone has bought a lot, and my aunt asked my eldest brother to buy it and send us some." ”
Pei Yunzhao was not in a hurry to answer, and was silent for a while before he said, "Let's see." ”
Merriam-Webster stopped asking and diverted from the subject.
Such a dialogue, such a caring person, the world does not know how many, for a while, what did the five big ships that returned from Taizhou bring back, for a while, although it was not stated, but in private, everyone had some speculation.
When the big ship docked, there were sergeants guarding it, and the idlers were not allowed to approach, and no one knew what was brought down from the ship, except for the people of the fleet and the men of the princess and the governor.
Taizhou, Zhao's -
"Auntie!"
In the courtyard of Old Taijun Zhao, the eldest son Zhao Da came in a hurry with people. The old lady was eating bird's nest, and when she saw her eldest son coming, she ordered someone to serve him a bowl and said, "Try it, this is a gift from Her Royal Highness the eldest princess a few days ago, compared to the bird's nest I usually bought, it is really a rare and good product." ”
Zhao Da's heart moved, and after thanking his mother, he tasted a mouthful of bird's nest first, and sure enough, it was better than the usual one, and he silently ate a bowl and said, "This bird's nest is so good, I don't know where His Highness bought it from?" Isn't it a tribute from today? ”
Mrs. Zhao paused and said, "What do you want to say?" As far as it can be said, there is no need to follow the detour of the mother. ”
Zhao Da hurriedly bowed over and said with a smile: "It's still A-Niang who understands her son." ”
Old Taijun Zhao snorted and said, "You were born to me, and if you lift your ass, I will know what you want to do." ”
Zhao Da was a little embarrassed, pretended not to see the servant next to him, and said in a low voice: "Ah Niang, a few days ago, there were five big ships approaching the princess, Ah Niang, do you know?" ”
Mrs. Zhao bowed her head: "I know a little." ”
Zhao Dadao: "Yesterday, a sailor on a ship went to the shop to drink, and after being drunk, he boasted that this voyage, the fleet went to a foreign country, and exchanged the silk and porcelain shipped for a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, and brought back countless treasures. It was also said that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess personally celebrated their achievements, and the sailors each received a golden bean. It is said that the pilot has to be housed and silkened. ”
The old lady's half-closed eyes twitched slightly, but his expression did not show any hint: "Or the sailor is drunk and talking nonsense." ”
Zhao Da hurriedly said: "The shopkeeper in the store has paid attention, and when he asks again after he sobers up, the person is so frightened that he retreats in a panic, and he doesn't admit it anymore, so he should be a little credible." Ah Niang, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess gave birth to a daughter and invited you to host the three banquets, why don't you ......"
Before he could say anything, he was interrupted by the old lady: "What's the matter?" What do you think your wife is? If it weren't for Taizhou, the princess's eldest daughter's washing banquet, how could it be your turn to invite your wife? If you don't know who the eldest princess is, let someone go out and inquire about it, and the eldest princess of Pingyang in Anguo is also cheap? Ignorant! And put away your greed, and see it clearly before you say anything else! ”
Zhao Daben came with eagerness, but he was scolded by the old lady with a slap on his face, so he reluctantly withdrew, and met the eager face of the steward waiting on the side, his face couldn't help twitching, and his eyes rolled and said: "Let people stare at it first, and find out what is transported from the ship." ”
