Chapter 353: The Gift Giver
Qin Yao knew that many dignitaries and nobles with names and surnames in this imperial city had their own marks at home, or the mark of the family badge and the mark of the mansion, Qin Yao thought to himself, the pattern that inexplicably looked like a chrysanthemum appeared at the bottom of this food box basket, it must be the mark of a certain mansion.
First of all, Qin Yao has to determine what this is, at first glance, this pattern looks a little like a chrysanthemum, but the petals are obviously looser, and the lines are not so densely drawn, so in fact, Qin Yao looked at it carefully, and felt that the surface like a daisy was larger than that like an ordinary chrysanthemum.
I haven't heard of it, could it be that there are still Japanese people in this imperial city? In this era, it should be called a Japanese person, this thing Qin Yao usually didn't pay attention to, so he wasn't sure, after all, he hadn't heard of Ye Qinghong or other princes having any foreign friends in this imperial city.
Qin Yao pointed out his discovery to Su He, Su He took the food box and looked at it, turned around and looked at Qin Yao inexplicably and said, "Miss, you haven't even seen this, have you?" This is a family emblem, there is quite a bit of face in the imperial city, some foundations, over the years the old school people have, such a family emblem is definitely not there in our Qin Mansion, who let the Qin Mansion is just a five-grade petty official, not to mention that the Qin Mansion has moved to the Imperial City, I heard that it is also a matter of the Qin Lord to serve in the Imperial City, and it is only seven or eight years of things, it is said that the courtyard where our Qin Mansion lives is not our own home, I heard that it is rented, after all, it is just a small official, and it is not mixed with the family emblem, I've heard that many of the families in the Imperial City who have been hereditary for more than three generations have this. ”
"The Qin Mansion is rented? Does Sun Ruyu know about this? Alas, Sun Ruyu must know that maybe she will still rent her own money, Master Qin is so picky, if Sun Ruyu knows that one day in the future, if Master Qin is released as an official one day, the Qin Mansion will not be able to stay in the imperial city, and in the end it will be annoying again. Qin Yao thought differently by the way.
Su He is still studying the chrysanthemum, oh, no, it is a family crest with a daisy pattern, since it is something sent by a person with a family crest, then there must be a dealing, and what kind of person will pick such a bunch of food box baskets with family crests to send out when giving gifts, don't you need to recycle these things after they are sent? "That's right! Right! These things are bound to be returned, and when the time comes, you will find out who sent them if you inquire about them. Qin Yao felt that she was particularly smart.
Su He looked at the expression of his young lady as if she had solved some big case, and she was very helpless. Su He walked to the door and lifted the curtain of the door, and shouted to the little maid standing in the courtyard: "Do you send these food boxes and baskets back today?" If you want to send it, the second princess said, she wants to write a thank you letter and send it back, you wait, come and report it before sending it back. ”
The little girl in the courtyard hurriedly replied: "The old lady who came to give gifts from the Meng Mansion said, don't worry, first follow the convenience of our house, and said that the servants of their family are not doing well, and they have greatly offended the second princess, for fear that the second princess will be angry, so I sent something, but I don't dare to ask for any return gift, the thank you letter should be okay, the housekeeper said that I will send it back tomorrow morning, I can't be so anxious, I said that I let the second princess pick and choose what she likes first, if there is anything unsatisfactory, I said it directly, If there's something you don't like, just give it back. ”
Su He turned his head to Qin Yao and said, "Miss, there are some things that just don't guess and don't talk nonsense, and delay time and effort, you see that you have two mouths on your face, and you touch them up and down, don't you just ask, some things are called asking." After finishing speaking, Su He also made a very handsome gesture of turning his head and shaking his hair.
yes, that's it, it's easy.
Su He added again: "So the second prince said that you don't say anything directly, it's really right, twisted, awkward......"
Qin Yao rolled her eyes and showed it to Su He, and then focused on one thing, these things were sent by the Meng Mansion, then, yesterday, they knew about Mama Tian's affairs.
"Go and invite Steward Wu, I have something to ask." Qin Yao instructed Su He, "Yes, you have to move out and make everything clear." Qin Yao's words were more like she said to Qin Yao herself.
Steward Wu soon arrived, and when he entered the door, he respectfully saluted Qin Yao, and then stood aside with his hands down and waited for Qin Yao's instructions. Qin Yao was embarrassed to act as a master in front of Steward Wu, so she politely asked Su He to move a round stool for Steward Wu, and asked Steward Wu to sit down and talk slowly.
Steward Wu didn't have any false courtesy with Qin Yao, he was polite, and sat down, as soon as he sat down, Steward Wu didn't wait for Qin Yao to ask himself, so he saluted Qin Yao first and said: "Ah, because I was too busy in the morning, the second prince was suddenly in a hurry to go out, I arranged for someone to arrange the carriage and horses, and I didn't care about coming over at once, I was going to get those things here in person, how dare I trouble Miss Suhe to run for this in advance, and I have to ask the second princess to forgive me, we are the second prince, and we knew about the Meng Mansion before going out to give gifts, The gift from the Meng Mansion was a steward in their outer courtyard, and when he saw the second prince, he roughly told them about yesterday's incident, you can rest assured, the second prince didn't give them a good face at all, after all, they were unreasonable first, but the second princess, today you listen to the old slave's advice, and if you are wronged outside in the future, you have to open your mouth and say, you don't say how the prince is the master for you, and besides, we can't leave a chance for others to speak first, then it will become the first complaint of the wicked. The second prince is just angry, now go to the eldest prince's mansion to discuss with the eldest prince, and say, I have to vent for you. ”
"Ahh Ye Qinghong wants to be angry for me? Then go out of my anger, how can I still keep these things, or let Su He take out the things he just put away and count them, or put them out and give them back, I think it's not good to get the gift and find someone to trouble. ”
"Oh, my good second princess, what kind of gift is this, this is a stepping stone to make amends. Not everyone has offended you, offended the second prince, offended the second prince's mansion, there is a chance to make amends, some people say the wrong thing and do the wrong thing directly called punishment, we are to give the Meng Mansion face and accept their gifts, and after receiving the gifts, we will listen to how they explain what they say, you can rest assured, the old slave will look at it, and the second prince will explain it before leaving. Steward Wu smiled and comforted Qin Yao.
Qin Yao has a little bit in her heart, and there is indeed a little bit of these gifts that she can't give up, and in fact, when Su He was counting these gifts just now, Qin Yao saw it in her eyes, and already had some plans in her heart, there are some things Qin Yao wants to ask someone to bring back to Aunt Feng, Aunt Feng is alone in the Qin Mansion, Sun Ruyu doesn't know how to be embarrassed for her, I don't know how she is doing, and there are some things, Qin Yao actually wants to save them, and go back to find an opportunity to sell them for cash, If you leave the two princes' mansions one day, you can use it as your own entanglement.
