Chapter 1224: Follow-up
When Zhao Fengnian and Rui Xue returned to Xie's house to report to Xie Pu and Wen, they specifically mentioned this unidentified teenager.
Although no one told them about the identity of this young prince from beginning to end, Zhao Fengnian still firmly believed that he was the legendary fourth prince!
Rui Xue didn't see it, but when she saw that her husband motioned her to operate the loom and demonstrate for the young man, the county lord of Yongping, who had always been polite to the Xie family, also acquiesced, so she could guess that the other party's identity was extraordinary. Now that she heard her husband point out the identity of the other party, she was not surprised at all, but had a feeling of "it was so".
Zhao Fengnian also said: "Judging from the small, this little highness is not very interested in the dowry of our second girl, he is purely just to see the excitement, maybe it is rare to see such a festive scene before." But he really liked the loom in our second girl's marriage, and he didn't say anything about it for a long time, and repeatedly asked the little mother-in-law to operate the loom, and it was best to let him know how the cloth was woven from the thread! But where are the little ones looking for cotton yarn? There is a good silk thread in the second girl's dowry, but it is a dowry, and if the second girl does not speak, where can she move lightly? In the end, the county lord of Yongping discussed with the aunt Wu, and asked for a few balls of cotton thread from the palace weaving house, and asked the little mother-in-law to spin a few rows of cloth meaningfully, but in fact it was not the case at all. ”
Ruixue secretly glanced at her husband, but she didn't have anything to say to the master's house. She has been waiting in the house for many years, helping the housewife entertain guests, taking care of housework, preparing banquets or something, although she can weave this kind of thing, but the real operation is not known how many years ago. If all the materials were ready, she could slowly weave a piece of coarse cloth of unguaranteed quality, but if she was expected to be as skilled a weaver, then forget it! The last time she got on the loom was when she was about ten years old. At that time, she had not yet been selected to be Wen's maidservant! This time in Yanwangfu, she was completely unprepared, she used a new loom with an unfamiliar structure, and the cotton yarn was not the kind she was used to weaving cloth in the past, what good things could she spin? ! The man doesn't understand anything, and he doesn't know how to cover up for his wife, so he directly dismantles his wife's stage in front of the master, doesn't his wife have face? !
Zhao Fengnian still reported his experience in Yanwangfu to his master Xie Pu and his mother Wen, and he didn't notice that his wife was secretly rolling her eyes. He thinks that the Yan Wangfu is still very polite and courteous to the Xie family, and the servants of the palace, regardless of their status, no one puts up a shelf with the Xie family, which shows how much the Yan Wang couple and the king of Yong'an County value Xie Mulin, the second girl of the Xie family, so they will be so kind to her family. It's just that the four princes who suddenly appeared seemed to be very interested in the loom that Xie Mulin married, presumably when Xie Mulin passed the door and met his husband's cousins, the four princes would ask Xie Mulin to observe the loom again. Zhao Fengnian believes that his second girl can make more preparations. If you don't know enough about those looms, then let the dowry pay more attention to this aspect.
Zhao Fengnian didn't think that the young lady of the Xie family really knew how to operate all looms or jacquard machines, but because the women in the clan had the basic knowledge to teach, they could still understand the general principle. Xie Mulin had previously asked his father for a few skilled weavers to dowry, and it couldn't be easier to pick someone out to explain to the four princes. Zhao Fengnian doesn't think it's a big deal.
Xie Pu was noncommittal, and asked others again: "Except for the fourth highness who is interested in the loom, do others have anything to say?" ”
Zhao Fengnian hurriedly said: "Most of the people in the palace are saying good things, and the officials of the palace and their families are all praising the wealth of the family, and the lord is generous, and he has prepared a rich dowry for his daughter!" Later, a few masters and wives from the clan came, and when they saw the second girl's marriage, they only said yes, and some people said that our Xie family really deserves to be a scholarly family, and the collection of books accompanied by the second girl is almost as good as the collection of Yanwangfu! ”
Xie Pu smiled: "The collection of books in the Yan Wangfu in the past was not much, but the princess was born in a scholarly family and brought a lot of manuscripts from her mother's family, but due to the long distance back then, there were many people from the Yue family who moved north, so the number was limited, but there were thousands of copies." The collection of books that our family has sent with us is less than that. ”
Even if there are not a few thousand, there are always two thousand. Zhao Fengnian knew the content of his second girl's marriage list clearly, but the master had to be humble, of course he would not dismantle the stage.
He continued: "There are also real estate and real estate that the master gave to the second girl, and many people envy them. Especially the land in Xiaotangshan, everyone who saw it knew that it was originally the Xu family's property, but it was never built, and now it has fallen to our Xie family, and it has also given the second girl a gift, and they all said that if Mrs. Xu knew, she would be angry and vomit blood! ”
Xie Mulin didn't want too much fertile land or a lot of real estate, and hoped that his father would find a piece of wasteland not too far from the city for himself to develop on his own, but Xie Pu bought a land in Xiaotangshan for his daughter, which made Xie Mulin very surprised.
That piece of land was originally owned by the Xu family, only the debris and stones on the ground were cleaned up, and before they had time to build any house, the Xu family followed the king of Shunyi County to the capital to win the heir, and then followed the defeat, and the Xu family no longer had the strength to do anything to dispose of this land, but they were reluctant to sell it. It wasn't until this year that Mrs. Xu had financial problems and directly used her mother's real estate to fill in the pit, so that the land fell into the hands of the Xie family. Mrs. Xu doesn't care about the ownership of this land at all, even if the land is now owned by Xie Mulin, what is she to be angry about? At most, it was because Xie Mulin was not pleasing to the eye, and he complained twice, and he definitely didn't vomit blood. Zhao Fengnian's words are a bit exaggerated.
Xie Pu smiled and didn't say much, but said: "In this way, the dowry I prepared for my true sister is quite decent, whether it is the palace or the local clan or family, I don't feel shabby?" That's good. ”
Wen said on the side: "The dowry given by the master to the real sister is rich enough, and other people's families want to have such a handiwork, but they may not be able to do it, who will think that the dowry of the real sister is shabby?" Even if there is such a person, it is because he can't see the good of our family, and deliberately picks stones in the eggs. But who will pay attention to any reasonable man? ”
Xie Pu sighed: "What I care about is not what others are talking about, it's just that Sister Hui got married not long ago, and many of her dowries were purchased by the Cao family when the family was still rich in the past, and there are also things brought by the Cao family from the Cao family. Sister Zhen doesn't have any of these, and she has no intention of comparing herself with her sister. But if an outsider talks about this matter and provokes it in front of the real sister, in case it damages the friendship between their sisters, it will not be good. ”
"The master has too much heart." Wen said disapprecantly, "Sister Zhen and Sister Hui are both good children who are sensible. ”
