Chapter 102: Abnormality
Coming out of the Wang family, Zeng Rong finally breathed a sigh of relief, but when she looked at the small purse in her hand, she suddenly felt congested again.
The Wang family bought all the purse samples they sent, and Mrs. Wang not only gave the price of a purse, but also gave Zeng Rong and A Ying a purse, Zeng Rong didn't want to accept it, and Ah Ying accepted the things, and also persuaded Zeng Rong seriously, saying that "the elders can't give away", and also said that this is the rules and etiquette of a large family, etc.
In desperation, Zeng Rong had no choice but to leave this purse, there was a raised thing in the purse, Zeng Rong felt like a silver ingot, and his heart was even more irritable.
After getting into the carriage, Ah Ying couldn't wait to open the purse, and with a scream, Zeng Rong's eyes were attracted by what Ah Ying was holding.
It's actually a gold bill, begonia fancy, like from the palace, depending on the size, there are no one or two but eight coins, that is to say, the reward given by the Wang family to the two of them is worth more than the pile of purses, is there such a reward?
What does the Wang family want to make trouble?
In stark contrast to Ah Ying's excitement was Zeng Rong's annoyance, but the thing was in her hands, and it was impossible to go back, and she felt disgusting when she took it.
Back at the embroidery workshop, Zeng Rong handed over the gold coin to Yu Yunqing along with the purse, and asked Yu Yunqing to help her return the things to the Wang family.
Yu Yunqing played with the gold coin in her hand for a moment, and then looked up and asked Zeng Rong: "Why?" ”
"No, I don't like it." Zeng Rong replied.
"Why don't you like it, there is always a reason for everything, how can there be a reason to return the reward money given by the elders?" Yu Yunqing's intuition was by no means as simple as Zeng Rong said.
"Have you ever seen a bounty for a gold bill, or for a first-time stranger? No, it's not a stranger, it's a little embroidery girl who has a holiday with her granddaughter and refuses to sell herself to her as a slave. Also, the purse we sent was only sold for sixteen taels of silver, but the reward she gave me and Sister Ah Ying was worth twenty taels of silver. I'm sorry, I can't ask for this reward, not to mention, I can't complete the things that the old lady of the Wang family explained, and I don't want to implicate the Xu family because of this matter. ”
"The Xu family? Are you saying that this bounty has something to do with the Xu family? Yu Yunqing asked.
In fact, when she saw this gold coin, she was not calm in her heart, and she had been pondering the intentions of Mrs. Wang.
Because since she entered the embroidery workshop at the age of fifteen, it has been more than fifteen years to this day, and in the past fifteen years, she has dealt with these big families, and she has not delivered goods to the door, and she herself has received the most reward is two taels of silver ingots, and those juniors usually come to the door to grab a big money, and it is definitely the first time to take a gold coin like Zeng Rong.
As the saying goes, there must be demons when it is abnormal, and as soon as the Wang family made a move, she was afraid and trembled.
If the Wang family knew that Zeng Rong had deceived her, they were afraid that even she, the shopkeeper, would not be able to escape!
It's not that she didn't think that Mrs. Wang would give Zeng Rong such a heavy meeting gift in front of the Xu family, but this reason doesn't make sense, not to mention that with the current status and prestige of the Wang family, there is no need to look at anyone's face, even if the Wang family wants to be friendly with the Xu family, there is no need to please Zeng Rong, an outsider who can't beat with eight poles, right?
Therefore, she has doubts about Zeng Rong's statement, unless there is something hidden in it that she does not know.
Zeng Rong smiled, there is naturally a hidden secret, but it can't be for outsiders.
"What are you laughing at?" After Yu Yunqing finished speaking, she put the gold coin into her purse and sent it back to Zeng Rong, "If you don't make it clear, I can't return this thing for you." ”
Seeing this, Zeng Rong had no choice but to tell Mrs. Wang that Mrs. Wang had sent a post asking Mrs. Xu to appreciate the chrysanthemum, "Mrs. Xu said that I am her distant relative, and the Wang family is not good at buying me again." ”
"In that case, why not..." Yu Yunqing wanted to say that she would let the Xu family return the favor for her, but when the words came to her lips, she realized that it was inappropriate, how could a person of the Xu family's status bow to the Wang family because of a small gold coin, one of these two people is a civil official and the other is a military general, and the interests of all parties involved are too complicated, and it is not something that she can figure out with a small embroidery shopkeeper.
"Yu shopkeeper, it's better to do this, you don't have to rush to send this gold coin to the Wang family, if I can really enter the palace, then you personally go to the Xu family to send patterns to make amends, and then bring this gold coin over, saying that I went back to my hometown in the countryside for the New Year, maybe when I will come back, remember, don't say that I will go to the palace to be an embroiderer." Zeng Rong admonished.
She was afraid that the Wang family would find her trouble through the queen, and she didn't want to be targeted by the queen as soon as she entered the palace.
"That's not right, is it?" Yu Yunqing didn't have the courage to deceive the Wang family.
"Isn't it appropriate?" Zeng Rong also hesitated.
She was afraid of implicating Mrs. Xu, if the Wang family knew that Mrs. Xu had lied to her, Mrs. Xu's reputation would definitely be damaged, and maybe the Wang family would embarrass the Xu family.
"Forget it, if you can't, you can tell the truth, it's a blessing or a curse, and you can't avoid it, but there is one thing, you push back a few days at this time node, so that we don't mean to deceive her old man, but I deserve this gold coin." Zeng Rong said again.
Yu Yunqing can barely accept this statement, but she still hasn't understood a little, with Zeng Rong's background and current net worth, these ten taels of silver are by no means a decimal number, enough for the two of them to live for a year, and it is also worth her hard work to embroider a month's purse, how can she say so lightly Don't don't?
And what about Ah Ying? After coming back and settling the accounts, she also took out the purse and gave her a look, saying that it was a reward from the Wang family, but she didn't want to return it to her.
Therefore, Yu Yunqing suspected that there should be something else hidden in this, but at this point, she also knew that it was impossible to ask again, Zeng Rong did not say that there must be a reason why she did not want to say it.
Who knew that it was a coincidence that when she was about to let Zeng Rong leave, a maid came to report, saying that there was another son in the front hall, and she pointed out that she wanted to see Zeng Rong.
Knowing that this son was one of the threesomes that day, Yu Yunqing accompanied Zeng Rong to the front hall.
Zeng Rong saw that it was not Wang Fan or Gu Tou, but the one she didn't know, she breathed a sigh of relief, her impression of this person was slightly stronger than those two, at least this person also gave her a fist salute that day, and there was no contempt in his words, which was quite rare.
No, seeing Zeng Rong and the shopkeeper Yu, he saluted again, "I'm sorry, I'm bothering Miss Zeng again." ”
"Childe, please have something to say." Zeng Rong returned the salute.
When the other party heard this, he smiled a little shyly, and opened the scroll in his hand, which was a picture of peony, and seeing this painting, Zeng Rong was frightened again.
