"Chun'er, look, these dolls are really beautiful, you say, what does his head think, how did he make things look like this?" Cui Mengyao's doll of the zodiac on the table said a little lovingly.

At the head of the case, she put two different sets of zodiac signs together and admired them again.

Animals like rats and snakes, usually screaming in fear when they see them, but now it's good, Liu Yuan made these cartoon cute types, it seems that not only is he not afraid, but he also can't help but have the urge to pet, just take the snake as an example, make the head round, a pair of eyes are big and round, the corners of the mouth are curved, and it is obvious that he is smiling, just like a cute child, it looks very cute.

Chun'er was also admiring it on the side, and nodded when she heard the words and said: "Yes, it's really beautiful, I heard that the third aunt of the eldest lord wanted to collect a set, and she didn't have a hundred taels and the one surnamed Liu didn't have to take it, so she had to collect it in the hands of that subordinate, and there was still a tiger to make up enough for the zodiac, and I heard that she offered a reward of ten taels of silver to collect." ”

A hundred taels?

Cui Mengyao was taken aback, but she was very grateful to Liu Yuan in her heart: just say it yourself, Liu Yuan gave away up to two hundred taels of ornaments, which is really good to himself.

Looking at the golden zodiac signs made of pure gold and inlaid with expensive cat's eyes, Cui Mengyao's heart was hot, how beautiful, one by one seemed to be vivid, especially the eyes, pure and clear, as if they would turn around, like the finishing touch, and the animals were "inlaid" to life.

After playing for a few days, Cui Mengyao was still reluctant to return it to Liu Yuan, but fortunately, Liu Yuan didn't ask; I wanted to buy it, but I didn't have any silver, and I couldn't ask for a set of a hundred taels of silver. And this set of gold is definitely more than a thousand taels.

"Dangdang, bang"

At this time, there was a knocking sound outside the door, Cui Mengyao looked out the window, and saw a few subordinates putting up lights, and slaves and maids were carefully cleaning the ground, looking very busy.

"Strange, what are the happy events in the house, how are the lights decorating." Cui Mengyao asked curiously.

Chun'er shook her head and said, "It started yesterday, I asked Yahuan." They all said that they didn't know, and they all said that this was what the old lady meant. ”

The great birthday of the ancestors? No, haven't you done it? The birthday banquet of the eldest uncle and the second uncle? No, one March and one August have long passed; Someone elevated? That's not right. Why can't I get a little bit of wind about this? Cui Mengyao thought about it while keeping vetoing.

"Someone should be happy. That's right. Early this morning, I saw a carriage of congratulatory gifts from the Bolingcui clan, and I was bringing breakfast to the young lady at that time, and I didn't ask carefully. Chun'er told what she had seen.

Cui Mengyao said curiously: "It's really weird, when there was a happy event in the past, we all knew about it early." Why is it so tightly covered today? Hey, Chun'er, look. Cui Mengyao pointed to the lantern in surprise and said, "On the lantern, there is a big red word of happiness, ah." Could it be that the second brother-in-law changed his mind and went out of the customs ahead of schedule to marry the second sister? ”

"It's possible, listen to people say, the second lady sends one every ten years, three love letters every month to the future husband, thunder can't move, very obsessed, all say that talented people are a lot of romance, it is estimated that the second aunt has changed his mind, hee Ji, as soon as the second miss leaves, it will be your turn immediately, I don't know how to say, which son and young master are so blessed to marry us, a beautiful and versatile third lady." Chun'er said with a grin.

"Okay, Chun'er, you dare to make fun of me." Cui Mengyao's face turned red, and then she pretended to be angry and said, "Look how I clean you up." ”

After speaking, he went to scratch Chun'er's Zhenzhen, Chun'er was most afraid of this, and begged for mercy, and soon the two became a mess.

"Three, three misses." The two were interrogating, and suddenly Yahuan appeared at the door of the embroidery building, and said in surprise.

"Hey, Mozhu, how are you here?" Hearing someone calling herself, Cui Mengyao immediately stopped, turned her head and saw that it was none other than one of the most trusted maids of the ancestor: Mo Zhu, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

Mo Zhu smiled and said, "The old lady invites you to come over, you can go alone." ”

It turned out that the ancestor wanted to see him, Cui Mengyao nodded, tidied up her clothes, and before leaving, she didn't forget to ask Chun'er to help her put away the two sets of zodiac dolls carefully.

That's your baby.

The two walked to the old lady's room, Mo Zhu stopped, and said to Cui Mengyao with a smile: "Third Miss, I'll send it here, the old lady wants to see you alone, by the way, the little Miss Congratulations, Miss Hexi." ”

Congratulations on yourself?

Cui Mengyao just wanted to ask if there was anything to congratulate, but Mo Zhu had already retreated.

How do you speak inexplicably? Forget it, let's take a look at the ancestor first, and I don't know what to say to myself, Cui Mengyao shook her head, called "Old Ancestor", and then pushed the door and walked in.

"Xiao Yao, come, sit on the Hu bed." Surprisingly, Mrs. Cui did not sit on the ground, but sat on the bed, and on the Hu bed, there were two boxes, and several very beautiful pieces of jewelry were placed on the bed, which was like sitting on a pile of treasures, and there was no one in the room.

As soon as the old lady saw Cui Mengyao, her eyes also showed pity, and the smile on her face became more and more kind, and the old face was about to smile like a flower, calling her to sit directly on the bed.

Cui Mengyao smiled and climbed onto the Hu bed, sat down next to the old lady Cui, and gently put her head into the old lady's arms while calling the old ancestor, like a child to be spoiled, making the old lady laugh.

Mrs. Cui gently pinched Cui Mengyao's nose and said, "The eldest girl who is about to get married is still like a child who doesn't grow up, is she ashamed?" ”

"Hehe, I'm not married, I want to accompany my ancestors at home."

"Fool, how can a woman not marry? What's more," Mrs. Cui's mouth moved, but she still didn't say it after the last moment.

"Ancestor, what's more?"

Mrs. Cui smiled and teased her granddaughter: "What's more, my Mengyao is so beautiful, if I say I won't let you marry, won't your future husband hate me to death?" ”

"Ancestor, you laugh at me, you laugh at me." Cui Mengyao's face flushed, but she didn't expect it. The old ancestor actually made fun of himself.

"Okay, okay, okay, don't make trouble, my old bones can't stand your toss."

When Cui Mengyao heard this, she sat up straight, for fear that she would be careless and hurt the old lady.

After some intimacy, Mrs. Cui smiled and said to Cui Mengyao, "Yao'er." You open these boxes and take a look. ”

"Yes, Ancestor."

When Cui Mengyao heard this, she gently opened the box in front of Mrs. Cui, but she didn't expect that as soon as she opened it, her mouth would open wide. Big enough to fit a large duck egg: three boxes, full of jewelry. It's still very beautiful and luxurious jewelry. Each piece is a fine product of the best, among which the "Pine Crane Longevity" created by Liu Yuan is also among them, and there are a small part that I have seen, but most of them. It's myself, and it's the first time I've seen it.

Obviously, these are the treasures of the old lady.

Qinghe Cui's family, famous all over the world. On the rich side, under the support of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, the children of the Cui family have entered the officialdom, countless, and the protégés are all over the north and south of the river, as the most respected person of the Cui family in Qinghe, Mrs. Cui has received countless valuable gifts every year, that is, the emperor and queen of today, in order to envelop the Cui family, there are also many rewards, decades of accumulation, the fine products are countless, and the jewelry in these three small boxes is extremely valuable.

Cui Mengyao's eyes lit up.

"This, these are all collected by the ancestors?" Cui Mengyao looked at the thirty or forty pieces of superb jewelry and said in surprise.

The opal of the baby's fist, the pearl as big as the dragon's eye, the Tianhuang stone carving as big as the palm, the agate as big as the egg, the jade Ruyi inlaid with gems, and the crystal clear jade bracelet are all rare treasures.

Mrs. Cui seemed to have opened the floodgates of memory, picked up a beautiful necklace casually, and began to tell the story:

"This Xiang Lian is a token of love given to me by your grandfather, I still remember that he was only ten years old at the time, and he had already passed the official residence of the fourth grade, and won the trust of the emperor, young and ambitious, graceful, I think back then, your grandfather was really a beautiful man, but unfortunately he left too early."

"This jade bracelet was the dowry that my mother took off from under her hand when I became a monk, but I didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, I was almost seventy."

"This is the opal that your uncle bought from a Persian merchant to give me when he was promoted to the third rank."

"This is the jade Ruyi that the queen gave me on my sixtieth birthday."

"This is"

Every time she picked up a piece of jewelry, Mrs. Cui told a story like a treasure, Cui Mengyao listened fascinated, she didn't expect these jewelry to be so meaningful.

"Xiao Yao, what do you think of these jewelry?" After introducing them one by one, Mrs. Cui asked with a smile.

Cui Mengyao said seriously: "I didn't expect that there are so many stories, well, it's really beautiful." ”

"Hehehe" Mrs. Cui laughed so toothlessly that she teased her granddaughter and said: "You, when you see the good jewelry and jewelry, the whole person is stunned, and your eyes don't move, this is up to me, I think I was exactly the same as you." ”

Cui Mengyao blushed all of a sudden, and the old lady still really saw herself through.

"My little chick will still be ashamed" Mrs. Cui smiled and said, "How is it, do you like it?" ”

"I like it, no, these are very meaningful to the ancestors, Meng Yao doesn't dare to be greedy." Cui Mengyao was halfway through speaking, suddenly woke up, and quickly shook her head.

Mrs. Cui gently pinched her Qiong nose again, and said happily: "Elder, don't resign, anyway, I have lived for so many years, and I am content, and these can't be brought to the coffin, Xiao Yao, you pick six pieces here, take whichever one you like, remember not to take it out in front of your brothers and sisters, or say that I am eccentric, my old woman's things, you can give them to whoever you like." ”

Isn't this partial?

Although the old lady said that she only had three sons and one daughter, there were dozens of grandchildren, granddaughters, grandsons, and granddaughters, and there were a total of thirty or forty treasures here.

If Cui Mengzhen, who has not received it, sees it, it is estimated that his eyes will be so red that he will breathe fire. (To be continued.) )
